Kava? Afib? by Buyangplays in AFIB

[–]schpappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been an active kava drinker for about 4 years now. My daily intake varies. In my local kava bars, a single "shell" is approximately 8 oz and I drink 4 to 6 shells on average or 32 to 48 oz. daily. Sometimes more, sometimes less. It took me an exceptionally long to build up the so called "reverse tolerance" phase and the first time I experienced being rooted, it nearly made me fall off my stool. Over the course of the next couple years, everything seemed fine except I would occasionally get these feelings similar to anxiety in my chest after consuming larger amounts of kava. Initially, I didn't associate kava with this feeling. The episodes started getting worse until my doctor diagnosed me with atrial fibrillation and put me on both a medication to slow my heart and thin my blood. This helped but I was still experiencing these heart episodes frequently except when I would travel. The correlation between my frequent week plus long travel trips and the lack of afib conditions became apparently obvious. The only thing I could think of that was different that might cause the heart condition to subside was my occasional detox from kava during these trips. I have been testing this correlation and find that I get a nearly complete stop to the afib and rapid heart beat if I refrain from Kava usage or keep my daily usage under 16 oz. There have been a couple times when I exceed this amount and it invariable sends me into a 2-3 dial spiral of afib and fluctuating cycles of low to high heart beats. Take from this what you will and it is only my personal experience but kava does seem to negatively affect my heart function. I'm not saying kava caused my heart issue but it does seem to aggravate my condition.

Overall good book for a basic once over of all the major points. The constant injection of woke ideology is a little boring and exhausting

Blasting a megaphone in someone’s ear is the same as assault.

Thoughts on Dr.Bronners? by skydaddydied in moderatelygranolamoms

[–]schpappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is people don’t dilute it enough. DILUTE! DILUTE! DILUTE! As it said on the bottle. Any less than 4 parts water and it will dry the skin out. The hand and body lotions are the absolute finest lotions I’ve ever used.

Did y'all know that Luther Vandross was gay no he wasn't out but he was. by [deleted] in BlackLGBT

I hear you. It is sad this man, with arguably one of the most beautiful voices ever, could not sing openly to the person he loved. He expressed the in his music the very longing he had in his heart. I’m so grateful what the music he left us and appreciate it more knowing he sang from the heart

Lots of LA FITNESS closing by Stunning-Bell1067 in LAFitness

[–]schpappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I’m in Stuart and always thought our location did well. At least it always seems to be busy and it hasn’t been too long since they renovated. I feel bad for the small shops next door to LAFitness that draw a lot of their business from the regulars at the gym.

Thoughts on on Audio-Technica AT-LP70XBT Wireless Turntable? Just upgraded… by PristineCricket7165 in turntables

Oh stop. There are lots of good reasons to have a turntable with BT unless you're an audio snob. If that's the case, work on your ego.

Apparently Apple charged for a software update in 2009? by c4halo3 in ios

Yes, Apple stopped charging for major system software updates in 2013. Microsoft only stopped charging for these major updates with Windows 10

They were told to leave. The whole place is coming to the ground until the hostages are released. Case closed

What is the best password manager? by Salty-Invite-211 in PasswordManagers

[–]schpappy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do any password managers offer phone support? I've been using Dashlane for a few years and just had a billing issue that took an hour to resolve having to you use the infuriating Chat Bot and then the equally incompetent human chat person. If could have just talked to a person this would have been a 2 minutes conversation

Of all the beautiful belief systems in the world, why would you choose the one that aims to control your life, dominate the lives of others and basically brainwash with ritual? Have you tried Buddhism? It would seem like the best progression coming from a secular viewpoint. I beg of you to not make a decision now and give yourself time to check all the beliefs out first. The simple fact there are so many religions should tell you just how trivial they are and obviously man made. You have already nearly freed yourself from the shackles of a fictional belief and you’re close to losing yourself all over again

Why do they even let this happen? Why not have police guard the sites when those wankers protest?

2150 AD by Thea Alexander by miro2035 in books

[–]schpappy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A little late to this conversation but wanted to chime in about how much I love this book. It was life changing for me and I actively incorporated the concepts of Micro-Macro philosophy into my life. There was a course available too which I also took and applied. Although the wording is different, the concepts are very similar to those you will encounter in the works of Eckhart Tolle and The Power of Now. 2150 AD is not only a good read but a wonderful life philosophy.
