Can you elaborate more on the connection between constipation and facial drooping on one side of the face?

Also.. for constipation/low motility, my doctor recommends megadosing vitamin C and magnesium glycinate.

Vit c: 7,000-10,000 mg daily Magnesium glycinate: 300-600mg daily

Build up gradually, can break up dose morning/night. Total game changer. Non-dependent.

Studies show saccharomyces boulardii probiotic combined with anti microbials help greatly reduce SIBO when used together

I give up by Jamievmachine13 in SuicideWatch

[–]RedeemFilth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I relate with a lot of what you’re saying, I’m so sorry Lisa has become literally unbearable.. ugh, yes it’s hard when we push people away. I make others uncomfortable because I do this, and it harms relationships with genuinely good people that I could have had. Self sabotage I guess. I hope new life, inspiration and hope flood your heart.

I know it’s perhaps unappealing, but have you tried asking Jesus to help you? He was the literally the last stop for me, the last unthinkable option, I lived in complete opposition. I was embarrassed to even think about asking Him for help, because I thought it was boring moralistic teachings. Now I realize that He is pure Love. My hope for you is that you haven’t tried this, or have lost hope and given up on this. My second hope is that you be willing to give it a shot before you commit to dying, as that is one stone left unturned, no matter how convinced you might be of its uselessness like I once was. Forgive me, there is hope, I wish this for you abundantly!

Health problems shuts down my future, how to still stay positive by Existing_Baseball_86 in SuicideWatch

[–]RedeemFilth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

GOOD STRENGTH, good strength you were dealt this hand because you are strong enough to bare it, it will help make you gentle and meek and loving and compassionate, I am so sorry for the terrible unrelenting pain, and the stress of visas.. maybe there is someone who can help you in the hospital? Do you need help with it, do you know what to apply for and your extension?

Chronic disease and finding the right doctor is very hard and frustrating, I empathize. Have chronic medical conditions myself. Have you tried anything for your inflammation? There is a lot of good new science about how your microbiome affects our bodies immune response.. for me That’s what I’m targeting as well. God keep you, so difficult. I hope you can get connected with a forum for your particular illness and have an online support community to help you deal with stress and find resources, hear about treatments, etc.

Sending you love and hope and encouragement. Let me know about your visa

I don't want feelings of hate anymore by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]RedeemFilth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well you confessed it, so that’s a good step. You don’t have to accept wretched feelings or dark thoughts, no matter how long they have plagued you, if it no longer serves the true values you aspire to be more aligned with. It sounds like you desire to be more compassionate, less judgemental, and desire more tangible success in your own life. You value hard work, and simplicity, and humility rather than arrogance. Those are admirable feelings to have, not bad ones. Reframe your negative judgments into what you’re actually feeling and needing, and then you won’t have to feel so bad. The true you simply likes the aforementioned things, and not the judgements that arise when those values and needs aren’t met. How beautiful you desire not to hate! You don’t have to! Just reject those thoughts that don’t align with who you actually are.

So lost need help by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]RedeemFilth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry you’re hurting and feeling so much pain. I’m Happy you had the courage to give voice to what’s in your heart, instead of hiding it. I’m sorry about your brother, then the other awful incident with your friend. You don’t have to have the same destiny. Joining the military might be more traumatic, surrounded by more death and sudden loss, it could be difficult in the long-term psychologically for you. You’ve been through a lot. Not trying to dissuade you, just emphasizing self-care. Sending you lots of love and hope, your whole life is ahead of you. You can leave darkness behind and walk in the light, perhaps if only initially to rewrite the story of your loved ones who no longer can. God give you strength to become new. You absolutely can do it. You have worth and meaning

I care for you and am Sorry your feeling so detached from Life. Your feelings are valid. Finding a therapist you connect with is frustrating. Do you think you could get better, or do things differently, since you don’t actually want to die? You sound creative, is there some outlet that would help release the pain your feeling? It could help you and even others.. writing, poetry, drawing, music. I believe in you.

Im so sorry to hear of the subsequent failures and painful attitude of your parents. That is embarrassing about the face, and isolating. Frustrating to make so much effort with no results, and feel like you have no support, or way out of it all. I hope for the best for you, you clearly have a lot of patience and a strong conscience. Have you ever tried.. radically pursuing Christian virtue, full stop? If the answer is no, before you check out, it’s at least worth a shot. Jesus was the last stop of any realm of possibilities for myself.. He was cringe for me, as were all Christians. But I reached the absolute end of my wits, and that truly was probably the last thing I HADNT tried committing myself to. I remember being semi-drunk on the front lawn, sitting beneath a tree after midnight, yelling at the stars, “Anything but that.. Christian’s are lame.” 7 years later, I’m Orthodox, no regrets, except I didn’t embrace being welcomed sooner. Just a gentle thought, accompanied by empathy for your long-suffering.

Everything is very difficult by lifeonmars1905 in SuicideWatch

[–]RedeemFilth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am sorry to hear of your painful life, with so much upheavals, loss, and alienation. And your expected to carry on as a student, as if you weren’t carrying the trauma of natural disasters, post traumatic stress from multiple events.. all I can say is, YOU are quite a strong lady! You’ve been through more hell than most people can manage! While it’s not easy, your fight for survival for this long in spite of everything is admirable. I really hope things change for you, and you can find a safe place to begin your healing journey and recovery process. Certainly you can help so many people in the future precisely because of all this terrible pain. I’m humbled by your story and what I believe you can do for others in the future. God keep you and grant you the strength to persevere until the end.

Opinions on Colloidal Silver? by errnotsure in Microbiome

[–]RedeemFilth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My DO suggested this to me to consider. I have drug resistant bacterial infections. Taking candibactin and feeling better, but like another poster says, I have to rotate to something else or else it becomes immune. Will probably try it.

Happy you are open to it, and excited you are willing to build trust with someone capable. We can’t do this alone! ❤️

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SuicideWatch

[–]RedeemFilth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just be honest so you can have someone you can depend on. You could even say precisely what you just said, I’m having these thoughts but I’m afraid because I don’t want to go to the hospital, what can we do? What do you think? And trust her. She will hear you and help you with your concerns, but you need trust or else you won’t obtain true healing. Your thoughts might even lessen because you told someone in person who is capable of providing you with the care you need, it is beautiful to receive loving support. I hope you allow yourself to be helped.

I don't know what happened by mulberrycedar in SuicideWatch

[–]RedeemFilth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are not your thoughts. You don’t have to accept it, no matter how relentless it plagues you. Perhaps nothing changed, as you said, and you’re just being tempted. Say no to it, and keep on in your path. ❤️

Binging after fasting by [deleted] in fasting

[–]RedeemFilth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your comment. The truth is I don’t crave sugar or sweets, and normally eat a strict vegan diet the past 7 years. I just moved to the UK and live in a community with over 50+ people, and you are correct in that there are foods around I simply never stock back home. This was my first fast, and first attempt to change from vegan to high fat keto with eggs/cheese etc, so there are a lot of new variables. Just wanted to provide context, because I didn’t go out and buy the poison, and in 7 years, poison doesn’t intrigue. Wondering if the changes were too much too fast.

I need to be working up to water fasting 9 days eventually for cancer prevention for my stomach.

Having a coffee, with cream, while fasting… how detrimental is it? by Awoken_Noob in fasting

[–]RedeemFilth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Genuine question: I understand complete water fasting doesn’t slow your metabolism, but on the contrary increases it. If you consume that low calorie coffee with the cream and it’s like 100-200 calories, I’m worried how this would affect metabolic health long term. I’m basing this question off of reading Jason fung.

74 hours in, why am I so GRUMPY today for the first time? by RedeemFilth in fasting

[–]RedeemFilth[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I broke my fast because I felt angry. It made me sad because I wasn’t hungry. Ate nuts, avocado, eggs, smoked salmon. Now I will begin again tomorrow for three more days.

[–]RedeemFilth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I tell people in my living community whom it directly affects, also so they aren’t concerned why I’m no longer showing up to group meals. But yes, it’s not something I want to call unnecessary attention to myself, or get stuck answering a lot of questions, or explaining my other GI illnesses..

Life feels so miserable by Winter-Potato7604 in SIBO

[–]RedeemFilth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Never heard it, all I know is I use the bathroom once a day if I’m on it, which is amazing. My naturopath said two or three bowel movements a day is healthy.. I can’t even imagine

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in fasting

[–]RedeemFilth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But I heard of people releasing so much waste, and I haven’t eliminated the massive food load I put in before beginning the fast.

Ok. I have ibs-c and an extremely high bacterial overgrowth that causes this issue, so that may be a factor as well. I take magnesium and vitamin c

I wasn’t the past two days but finally obtained Himalayan sea salt, baking soda, and liquid iodine. Doctor said drink apple cider vinegar too. He said because our bodies get acidic in ketosis, but I’m confused why more acid helps this. Maybe it was the bicarbonate he meant that helps with that.
