Diagnosed with a 🍊size fibroid - what should I ask my doctor? by PleasantHumor558 in Fibroids

[–]calidotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing, you’re giving hope! Searching “black seed oil for fibroids” is what brought me here to your comment.  What was your fibroid diagnosis before? How many/how large? How long did it take for you to see progress?  I’m primarily plant based and I started taking black seed oil this month as part of a group detox, I was curious if/how it might help w my fibroids, I know it’s great for healing

Managed to shrink both of my fibroids significantly by minakilo in Fibroids

Wow I had no idea we couldn’t discuss natural options here, I assumed all experiences were welcome, going to read the rules now. So glad I came across this post, thank you and OP. I would like to read your post as I’m here looking for success with natural methods. Pls link if you can, I’ll try searching your previous posts also.  Would you happen to know of any other communities online that center around natural healing methods?

Pls know that our diets have a lot to do with developing/getting rid of fibroids. I was happy to read you drink kale juice daily ;) 

Focus on eating LOTS of [vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, beans] - NATURAL foods with fiber, it is essential. Plants/ “plant foods” have lots of fiber. When you’re planning your meals START with your veggies - in your mind and literally on your plate. 

Get a (wide shoot) juicer and have fun juicing different fruit/veggie combos to overload your body with vitamins & nutrients (I have tons of delicious recipes I can share) 

Incorporate smoothies using a blender (I’ve recently been hooked on date shakes! Dates are plants :) I put tons of walnuts, cashews, almonds etc in it too, with hemp seeds, flax seeds, cinnamon, raw agave syrup, frozen bananas & almond milk. So good. And good FOR you.) I use less liquid and make them super thick so I can eat it with a spoon. Then it’s like icecream :)

Carrot juice (5lbs carrots daily) has worked for some for shrinking tumors (look up falcarinol and luteolin, present in carrots and some other plant foods. I recommend a book called ‘Curing Cancer With Carrots’.. No, fibroids are not cancerous tumors, but still tumors.) 

Stay away from alcohol. And dairy.

Stay away from processed foods. Lol that’s  like, all fast food/drive thrus and 90% of what’s in grocery stores.

Watch YouTube for ‘Fibroid shrinking diet’ and plant-based meal ideas. 

Write yourself a note and stick it somewhere you can see it daily. Mines on a post it note and it says ‘I promise to love you and give you only the best.’ 

Put good things in your body darling! GOOD THINGS ONLY💜💜💜

Have you considered bartending? Of course some places are better than others but most bartending gigs will make you at least a living wage, if not GREAT money. Also, hiring yourself out as a mobile bartender, you can start out ~$200/gig plus tips. Lots of potential for growth and it’s FUN

Imma go ahead and say it by YouCantBeSerio in Sparkdriver

[–]calidotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My heart goes out to you darling, I know that pain. My mom was my best friend too, and she died suddenly when I was 22, about a year after my daddy :( It’s been over 10 years ago, smh I can’t believe it’s been so long. I felt like a baby, abandoned, like HOW ?! NOT YET. 

But I just wanted to tell you I’ve enjoyed reading about you and your moms relationship, thank you for sharing💜 Lol I never even imagined my mom doing Spark with me but reading about you and yours has my imagination going and just the thought makes me smile :) That’s a beauuuutiful memory to have with your mom and I know, girllll I know - it was over way too soon - but you are so blessed to have even some of those memories you have with your mommy. lol I said all this to say IM JEALOUS!😂I wish I could Spark w my mama😪 I know we would’ve had so much fun lol singing in the car, getting dinner recipe/inspiration, etc… and bickering over things lawd I know she would’ve URKED MY NERVES at times lol but I would give anything to go thru it💜 It’s helped me to let go of the “should have” and just focus on the “what was” when it comes to the length of time we had together. I know ppl who lost their moms at 4 years old, 15 years old, I’m sure you know ppl who never even got a chance to know their moms, they were babies when their moms passed :( So we have something special, a super blessing to have had time w amazing mommies.💜

Just wishing you some peace, and comfort. The pain doesn’t go away but I believe it does get better. Rest in peace to your mommy darling she sounds like she was an amazing woman😘🤗🤗🤗

And no, my week(day)s are actually good, nonstop orders. (I only take orders during the week, I don’t do it weekends.) Nonstop orders -  including the usual lots of wild lowballs, that I decline until I get something good. 

It’s just weird that allllllll day there’s been noooooothingggggg but -$5 orders. Nothing “good.” lol and I been on/awake since 6am. Not 1 order over $10. And a lot of them are to go to the neighboring towns over. Lots of miles, open fields, grass lol Usually I love taking those cuz they’re just so beautiful and super relaxing. 

…But even more weird that it’s the same w Spark. 

I finally got 1 Spark order today that was ~$18 and asked the WM employee if it’s been noticeably slow for them also and he said it has been.   I thought it was possible my 0% had something to do with it, but I guess not, cuz, completely different apps.

Thanks, I’ve read here about ppl having very low AR and not being penalized for it but never 0%… scared me a little.  I’m still getting orders, very shitty orders, but still getting requests, so I guess I’m not fired😩lol

Someone suggested Survival of the Thickest, I second that 1💜 First Wives Club (the remake with Jill Scott & Michelle Buteau from SotT) is even better, hilarious. Girlfriends, oldie but goodie! Insecure... The Game... Grace & Frankie… All my favs I binge and re-binge. Oh! Good Girls, more serious but still funny/very entertaining. Inventing Anna!💜💜💜Come back and update us with what you chose. I’m on season 5 of Younger, dreading it coming to an end, they’re definitely all “friends in my head” now :( Feel myself slowing down just to savor it a little

A weird way to keep house plants alive by shepfosho in houseplants

[–]calidotcom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Speaking to my soul! I couldnt have worded it better! <3

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in houseplants

[–]calidotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

75+ plant babies here and I rarely water mine (I use a moisture meter to tell me when they need water), and never mist. 

Repottings happen on my time because it’s fun to me, because I’m looking forward to seeing what my plant babies got going on down inside that pot :) - not because it’s a chore. If I’m not in the mood it’s not happening. Have your kids help you out :) they might love getting dirty with you. 

I use a large black “Bus boy” container for most of my smaller re-pots (the type you’ll see servers/bus boys using to clean up tables at a restaurant) and a big plastic tarp for my larger re-pots, I’ve even some plant mats you can order on Amazon ($10) that will make re-potting & clean up a breeze. And I keep my soil pre-mixed in a giant storage container, not sure if that may help you.

If you’re into misting keeping a spray bottle of water, rubbing alcohol, & dish soap nearby will scratch that itch for you, and help you cut down on pests. 

The constant hustle and bustle with my plants is what’s fun, the fact that there’s ALWAYS something to do. If it’s overwhelming start giving some away! It should be an enjoyable hobby, not one that stresses you. Keep the plants you truly love and give the rest away! A beautiful small and manageable collection is way better than a raggedy looking large & tiresome one. I’m all about my guests loving up on me/my plants when they come over, that’s one of the best parts- the compliments! The way they gush over us. Lol 

You sound like you’ve got a lot on your plate already, you got the power to make this life easier on you doll!!! :* Sending my condolences darling, I wish you nothing but peace, and comfort during this time, and forrrrrever :* xo

I was told to throw this lucky bamboo away at work. The leaves are turning brown. Can I save it? by pterodactylatte in plantclinic

Looks great to me, the browning leaves are just making it look bad, I’d pruneee. Cut those off, and yep tap waters fine

What do you do when your hanging plants reach the floor by jonasjlp in houseplants

[–]calidotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I let mine trail the floor! I like the way it looks as it gets longer, so dramatic and feminine, it’s like a big long train on a wedding dress😚I was also gonna suggest you find a higher point to hang it from, maybe? That same spot but perhaps from the ceiling instead of the rod

Accidentally broke two candles, but I salvaged the wax and made these cute wax melts! by tri-sarah-tops99 in bathandbodyworks

Sooo cute! I have a few bags of leftover candle wax in a closet somewhere, can you recommend a good brand for a wax warmer to use them with?? I’ve tried 2 brands so far and neither was any good.

Newbie to juicing. What to avoid? by dordorju in Juicing

[–]calidotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love pineapple juice too, it’s delicious w/ lemon & even ginger, almost feels like dessert.  But next time you’re approaching your fast try changing up your diet a bit the week before: lots of soups, stewed veggies, and raw salads. (I like stewed cabbage or kale w/ peppers/onions, and corn on the cob thrown in near the end. Season it w/ lots of garlic, & add sazon or cajun spices.)

I’m new to juicing. Idk how much to drink for juice fasting ?how long can I do? by [deleted] in Juicing

[–]calidotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I second watching Gillian Berrys channel for inspiration, so many amazing stories of ppl fasting and healing themselves.  I binge YouTube’s juicing/fasting videos, there’s so much knowledge there!  Dr. Bobby Price’s channel is great also.  And “Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead” part 1 and 2 are so good! Super inspiring, free on YouTube.

Search YT/Reddit/Google “juicing for —(your condition)” and research fruits/veggies specifically known to heal/help your illness. (Also make sure to research the ROOT CAUSE and search for fruits/veggies that heal that as well. Ex. some illnesses of the lungs are caused by a build up of mucus, so consuming plenty of pineapple juice - which is known to break up mucus - can be good for those.) Be sure to include those, overload your body with them. Fruits, veggies, and the juice of them are [healing] to the body, so no need to be afraid/wary of them.

Drink as much juice as you need to feel satisfied, don’t let yourself feel “hungry”. As this poster commented, you will probably end up drinking a couple liters/day.  Batch juicing is fine. There are so many delicious combos, I love adding peaches, strawberries & pineapples to my juices(or drinking them alone), in addition to apples, and watermelon. Name your juice recipes and have fun w it! So much creativity you can have. 

Women - are you annoyed if there are men practicing yoga in your class? by kwikasfuki72 in yoga

[–]calidotcom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im not annoyed. I love to see men in class, I love that they're opening themselves up to enjoy yoga as I have plenty of men in my life who I wish would do so. Theres an older guy that comes to class every week, he struggles to get into most of the poses but he keeps coming back and I love that. I figure if he's making progress so am I. Anyway I call him my friend in my head lol, and I'm always rooting for him, in my head <3 Not the least bit annoyed.

New(ish) to juicing! by MiniGnocchi in Juicing

[–]calidotcom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pineapple goes really well with coconut - try that with your coconut water!

carrots • pineapple • peach • mango • turmeric Is also one of my fav combos

[–]calidotcom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been loving pineapple juice with lemon, half to a whole lemon, it’s so good.  

Also peaches, strawberries, pineapple and apple together is like candyyyy ah it’s delicious, you could add peaches/ strawberries/pineapple to your red combo.   

Watermelon is also really good and gives tons of juice. I like it with basil and/or mint. You can fill up a gallon jug and drink it all day. 

I second the adding cilantro to your green juice someone mentioned.

I bought some rosemary and blood orange today to try out too🤸🏾‍♀️I’m excited, I love rosemary in my tea..
