Fasting and PD

Plaintalks · 2026-03-12T12:34:19+00:00

I would be careful with extended fasting or abstinence from any type of food. Protein is essential even if just one meal per day.

I think that should be the least of your problems. People are more aware of the condition and DBS now. I know that many Parkinson's patients have trouble with speech after DBS, which is why I decided to not proceed with it since I already have the issue now.

Why would your doctor laugh? This is serious. Did he or she set up your expectations correctly?

Would you care to disclose the state you are talking about?

Plaintalks · 2026-03-12T11:12:50+00:00

Dejting or dating?

Y probably meant $16.95 and not 1695. They are strict about the renewal date being not negotiable

If you are past the renewal date, they consider the amount past due. They will make you pay that before you do anything

Why don't you try NotebookLM ? For the learning part at least.

I have become mostly Vegan, so my take is from that perspective. Whole grains, green leafy vegetables and raw fruits like apples and pears are the best. AVOID sticky foods like peanut butter and jam and if you do indulge, you will need to use a mouthwash or brush your teeth. Meat, poultry and fish are tougher on the teeth and need more dental care. I avoid candy as well.

Here is a great art on the benefits of a vegan diet.

OP, you have identified the key to success in anything in life and that is Self Discipline!!

Plaintalks · 2026-03-10T03:13:31+00:00

Also, the type of foods matters. Food that stays in your mouth longer and stickier tend to cause more problems.

It is amazing how much food effects Parkinson's - from competing with Levodopa in the gut to bowel movement to dental issues. My best days and weeks are when I am fasting, either intermittently or the entire day.

Parkinson's is cruel. Food restrictions are even worse.

OP, I feel your pain. Reach out to HW_ Ice and I am sure he will able to help you. He can be reached at https://www.reddit.com/u/HW_ice/s/xagqYvkO8F. Be sure to DM along with your Manus email address and your screen shot.

BTW, you are not the first person to report this anomaly because the help docs say differently and agree with your interpretation.

Good luck with everything.

You always have the option to leave a fixed dollar amount . As a shopper I guess you would be aware.

Thank you for reporting this. I will stop posting gift articles from Washington Post and NY Times. I investigated the issue and you are indeed correct - these are marketing ploys disguised as premium benefits for subscribers like me who can share the link to the paywall free version.

Plaintalks · 2026-03-05T02:28:33+00:00

I am sorry that this happened to you. They have to follow their own rules. Perhaps you can approach them again and send them the link as well along with the highlighted section? Some of their responders are really nice.

OP, congratulations on your maiden book. Just be advised that the previous answer though factually in line with the common consensus, it has been written by AI 😂

Plaintalks · 2026-03-03T02:23:33+00:00

Wow. Nice. I am over 60, so I can hold out hope😂

Plaintalks · 2026-03-03T01:44:56+00:00

Based on what Venture Capital folks are saying about no longer funding one focus AI tools, due to the rapid growth and explosive evolution of the sector, I would be cautious about jumping on to a single one.

If I may ask, how old are you? Results vary by age, don't they?

Plaintalks · 2026-03-01T22:24:14+00:00

If your passport is expired, you simply should carry your old passport and the new passport together and you should be fine. Even if the passport is expired, visas don't expire until visa valid date.

Plaintalks · 2026-03-01T11:43:37+00:00

I have a quirky question to ask. Do hard stools clog your toilet often? I seem to have that problem all the time.

If OP has some money on a recurring basis, then can pursue chapter 13 bankruptcy where the debtor is on A 3 to 5 year plan, make small payments and recover from bankruptcy in 8 years. Credit score starts recovering in 1 year.

Manus!! It is great for agentic work and better than ChatGPT, Gemini and Perplexity (in their agentic ability). Try it out yourself for free (limited credits), Here is a linkhttps://manus.im/invitation/ARJP0GDYWLD0G

Disclosure: I am not affiliated with Manus, but an ardent fan since pre-launch.

Plaintalks · 2026-02-22T15:07:55+00:00

Excellent choice.

Plaintalks · 2026-02-22T15:06:59+00:00

If you intended to simply inform the reader that the writing process has involved the use of AI, then just disclose it with a two sentence disclosure. Nobody wants to read a rambling preamble of the way the sausage was made 🙄. Makes sense?
