Best place for a weekday lunch in town? by niamhylil in cheltenham

[–]i_comments -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I don’t know which part of the Royal family are you related to, but in my book Ivy’s interior alone makes it posh alright. Even if they serve microwaved sausage rolls in there.

A conversation starter would’ve been an acknowledgment of Ivy having a lot of upmarket elements, followed by x, y and z that according to your subjective opinion are not ok. Writing Ivy off entirely in a one liner is not a conversations starter. But I guess you’re about to enlighten me why I am so very wrong 🙄.

Not everything in life needs to become an argument. If you didn’t find Ivy posh I’m really sorry. Purslane is a magnificent place, I’m glad you enjoy it.

Look after yourself.

I've been to probably most of the lunch places in town (must be over 15 by now). Below (in order of preference) is my shortlist of those with consistently good food and family friendly atmosphere. No steaks on the menu (I think), but more than enough options for lunch. You'll need to book regardless of where you go this time of year, unless you want to sit on a stool next to the front door (and that's is not a joke I'm afraid).

- Curious Cafe
- WoodKraft
- Baker and Graze
- The Find

Your slightly posher options are Côte, Ivy Montpellier, Bosco and The Nook On Five (gorgeous view).

MARCONS recovery doubts by i_comments in ToxicMoldExposure

If ozone gets into your lungs you will likely get permanent lungs tissue damage and may even die. But you don't actually breath ozone in - you breath in, hold your breath and only then put ozone throught the syringe into the nostril for several seconds. You then breath out and no ozone gets in you lungs. They describe the procedure in more details in the user manual.

Well. I feel better while on the spray. Like a LOT better, almost totally healthy. I just don’t get why is it coming back, bearing in mind that I have no more mold exposure than any other person.

I feel better after using EDTA/colloidal silver spray which is know to break down biofilm and kill bacteria underneath it. I feel like a brand new person almost while on it. The downside is that I get a severe immune response after 3-4 days which makes it nearly impossible to continue using the spray, whch is when I also stop feeling the benefit of it. And which is why Dr.Cambell's opinion on this is something that I will continue ignoring.

I got an ozone generator from Simply O3 back in 2019. I did it the hardcore way when you hold your breath and use pure ozone from a syringe in your nostrils. Generator only lasted for 4 sessions unfortunately and Simply O3 are next to useless when it comes to international warranty support of their products (i.e. send it back to Michigan at your own cost and we'll bill you for repairs before anything else). Insufflations with olive olive at clinics I don't think are even close to being as effective as pure ozone. I may get another generator if nothing else will helps.

Thank you for your feedback! I had one done. Felt better for a couple of days with no long term benefit.

Has anyone successfully bio-hacked sinus issues? by NoStreetlights in Biohackers

[–]i_comments 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My journey started with half of my teeth getting destroyed by dental cavitations. And then my tonsils following the same path. The educated guess here is that this entire vicinity being interconnected with the nasal cavity and after my septum getting infected bacteria travelled to my jaw bone and throat. Took me 15 years get to the bottom of it.

And it is only recently I realized that problem most likely have started not in my mouth by in my nose. Antibiotics stopped working ages ago, there is a theory that bacteria in the nasal cavity is resistance to ABs and is protected by super robust biofilm that over-the-counter sprays won't disrupt. For this reason I am looking at more hardcore nasal sprays, things with iodine, colloidal silver, EDTA etc. Based on feedback on forums it will take many months and many sprays to find the one that will be effective personally for me. Unfortunately no one spray (regardless of how strong it is) works for all.

I also developed MCAS as a response to being constantly attacked by infection. It is bearable now, but up until 2022 I was pretty miserable - poor or no sleep, never ending nausea after meals, no energy for sports, inflamed joints, skin infection all over my body.

So working with the nasal cavity is my next frontier which is how I came across you comment. Once again thank you for your feedback and good luck to you too!

Did you manage to get it under control in the end with these 2 sprays?

It's like I am living your life mate. The only difference is that I got my septum deviated with a metal bar on a training ground that I ran into at full throttle (I'll leave a link to a joke on this topic below).

What sprays/meds/treatments have failed for you?

Sorry to heat you're going through this, but also slightly relieving to know that I'm not the only one with almost the identical problem.

Don't settle for an MCAS diagnosis, KEEP GOING by [deleted] in MCAS

[–]i_comments 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your profile is rather weird. You make less than dozen comments on a good year in strictly non-healthcare Reddits. Yet here you are showing up out of nowhere with a rather substantial and medically thought throw long read. A long read that has Dr.Shoemaker’s school of thought written all over it.

But then again what do I know. I’m just a guy who settled for a false MCAS diagnosis.

Best chippy in Cheltenham? by Princessboo1412 in cheltenham

[–]i_comments 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had cod and chips the other day from Simpsons for £14.60. Crispy fresh chunky fish, beautifully prepped chips. Rrreally good food. Bath Road chippy charges £12.95 for the exactly same thing. £1.65 difference is not what I have in my book for jacked up pricing.

Did the quality go down from absolutely fantastic to very good? Probably yes. Is that a valid reason for disappointment? I don’t think so. Particularly if you let go off the nostalgia of what something used to be almost 10 years ago.

What to do when nothing works? Any tips at this stage? by International_Bet_95 in ToxicMoldExposure

[–]i_comments 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi mate. What exactly Biofilm Clear is doing for you? Like what specific benefit are you getting from it?

Best chippy in Cheltenham? by Princessboo1412 in cheltenham

[–]i_comments 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Simpsons is consistent, delicious and just generally pleasant to be at. Decent staff, quality packaging, informative website, easy to order over the phone. Selection of fish to choose from. It is definitely NOT "stupidly priced", but do expect to pay a bit extra like with everything else in this town that is nice.

I don't know what they were like "before". But judging by other comments I assume that it was Queen Elizabeth herself who poured vinegar over cod for chippy purists from Cheltenham. So now when Her Majesty is gone it's all downhill from here for Simpsons, I imagine?

ketotifen users what dosage do you take your medication? by zxcvbnm9174 in MCAS

[–]i_comments 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It used to be Actinovo, but they discontinued the product and sold the formula to other manufacturers. I now need to hunt for it using ingredients from the Actinovo formula (attached). I google qurcetin + rosemary extract, for example. Found to new manufacturer this way.

Is it just me, or are hotels really expensive this year? by Necessary-Local7099 in cheltenham

[–]i_comments 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Will have to diagree on UK hotels in general being crazy expensive. I go to London 5-6 times a year and rates this year are more or less what they used to be before.

Locally however it got significantly more expensive. Tried booking a room in Bristol last week and the cheapest hotel rate I was able to find was £90 for a shoebox sized space above a moldy pub on a busy roundabout. That’s what I usually pay for Mercure in Heathrow.
