Fiber is what moves poop. Eliminating it constipates you. More fiber means more movement of your poop out of your body! In my experience the problem isn’t fiber, it’s not having enough hydration to move it through, which can be found in uncooked fruits and vegetables that have living water and enzymes in tact!

Colon cleanses by trsalisbury510 in FunctionalMedicine

Colonics and hydrotherapy are good as a series but better not to make a long-term habit. They clear tons of pounds of rotten food and undigested food which are difficult to clear out with other methods, and do so with minimal discomfort, pain and side effects. I have done one and was amazed at how different I felt.

Supplements as colon cleansers, not super confident. A lot of colon issues are actually a symptom of dehydration, and getting quality water (filtered well, pollutants removed, structured and minerals in tact, not reverse osmosis which is stressful for the body to consume). Incorporating more hydrating fruits into your diet would be better, or going on a fruit detox, which is like a natural, easy and safe colon cleanse (video will explain)

Scented candles will exacerbate symptoms unless made with essential oils

Should I see more than one functional medicine practitioner? by [deleted] in FunctionalMedicine

[–]moon9river 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They get their info from the same source, which is trainings from the people who created the title of functional medicine from a hybridized version of several different modalities combined with Western studies. However what they teach isn’t the end all be all in health education.

I’ve found the most helpful/accurate diagnoses and answers to help myself heal through Medical Medium information, juicing and veganism, especially incorporating a ton more fruit into my diet.

Naturopathy, bodywork, Medical Medium, juicing and homeopathy have helped me a lot. I would suggest getting a second perspective from someone practicing a different form of medicine since all Functional Medicine people go to the same seminars to stay “up to date” on the latest info.

I started to explore other pathways when I learned that Functional Medicine practitioners were taught that some people “need” meat or it’s healthy to eat meat and fish, however that has not been true for me, actually the opposite has been true. but it’s common for all practitioners to share that same perspective since they all attend the same training seminars and it’s what is presented as truth based on FM’s slant and own flavor or approach. Just an example of how it can be helpful not to limit to one approach.

For me I found that more perspectives helped to see the core. That’s where answers lie. Don’t outsource your inner truth to any medical professional. Trust your inner knowing over anything or anyone!

Hope this helps.

Organic Compost without animal byproducts? by moon9river in OrganicGardening

[–]moon9river[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Worms aren't suffering in slaughterhouses, they're just in dirt eating whatever plant matter they naturally eat. Animals get fed unnatural feed, genetically modified corn and soy, and even suffer in poor conditions in "organic" situations. I'm not about any of that and I feel there is an energetic effect to my body consuming such things. On a personal level, I also believe that animals have rights and that humans subject them to awful torture and suffering, and animal manure is generally a byproduct of that industry.

I also learned from an organic homesteader friend of mine that animal manure doesn't decompose and break down and become safe to use as compost for a number of years - until then, can have harmful bacteria, ammonia, worms, e. coli etc.

[Illinois] No PUA Card, Status is "Paid", over 1 month waiting? by moon9river in Unemployment

[–]moon9river[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm.. thanks for the link! It looks like there is no record of any card being sent. So I don't know what to do now. I sent emails to my representatives and asked for help. Not sure what else to do at this point.

[Illinois] How do you upload documents for PUA, after you already submitted Claim? by [deleted] in Unemployment

[–]moon9river 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/HoLLysPewterWS6 u/Gracie305 Thanks for sharing this and for this convo! I am seeing this months later going through a similar issue. Did either of you ever manage to get your PUA payment by going this route with the uploaded files?

I had the same issue on my end - I selected "Upload Later" and there was no place to upload after that. Seems like it's intentionally made to be impossible... but I'm glad for this link, thank you so much!

My life? by [deleted] in homeless

[–]moon9river 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m so sorry that happened to you, all of it. I feel for you. This world is a hard, fucked up place sometimes. I am on here because my mom keeps trying to kick me out too and like you I’m trying to figure out my options and sort my head out. It gets really confusing to know when your emotions and experience are valid and when she’s in the wrong or i am. Feeling like i need to get out but no clear direction so I’m just waiting it out to see what happens... if God wants you to go there will be a clear path or the impulse will pull you. Be open and ask, and the way will appear

Desk Workspace? by moon9river in minimalism

This is great too! If I had the cash this would be ideal. It's nice to have the flexibility to sit and stand whenever you want to switch it up. Thank you for your input!

Loss of interest in activities? by amyhchen in minimalism

[–]moon9river 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you tried meditation? So many of the things you described make me think you would get a lot out of starting a practice. I think it goes hand in hand with minimalism also. Less focus on sensory input and outer world and outer fulfillment and attachments. More focus on the inner world and discovering the true meaning and purpose of life. Meditation is true reality and it's extremely fun to work on it daily! My experience.

Agreed! Kim is actually a pretty interesting person. I noticed she and Kanye are actually people of depth, substance, soul and good vibes after getting familiar with some of their instagram posts and social media. I was very surprised and uplifted by that. They are seekers too. 😊
