CICO may be scientifically valid but it's useless in practical terms. People who tend to be constipated absorb much more energy from their food and those with fast digestive tracts absorb much less. Everyone is somewhere on that spectr

Inversely related to mortality. I.e low pesticide intake reduced morality.

I've self administered FMT's from a friend for over a year now. There is an underground network of people performing this procedure, generally digestive but also psychiatric conditions. I'm not recommending it, however. In my

Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. We have pretty strong data that suggests that antibiotic exposure is associated with negative health outcomes. For example, patients who had undergone antibiotic exposure within a 6 month peri

I believe he's referring to "luddites" -- a group of people who resisted technological innovation during the industrial revolution.

Ah; so that was a sort of elemental diet (if you've heard of them) for you. How much credit would you assign to those courses in helping overcome your disease?

How did you conduct your enteral nutrition? As far as I know, it's not common practice to begin a course of enteral feeding for anything other than a few specific circumstances. I've also heard that it decreases the number of bact

Not only a large employer; the largest. What an unfortunate coincidence for me then. The anti-amazon sentiment is real, maybe I should wait for their next large PR fiasco and try to ride that wave. Thanks for the tip, I will still pursue it

Thanks; unfortunately I think it's only $10,000 in washington state.

I feel like it would probably somehow go poorly like you're outlining. I have a naive version in my head as to how this could work out well; but I imagine in reality that this would be as nightmarish and stressful as possible, ending i

Don't tempt me. They are constantly trying to hire me as a SDE. I'm this close to taking it so I can get inside and start raising hell about this.

Yeah, I have talked to other sellers and lawyers and Amazon would take it to arbitration if I decide to pursue. I believe the cost of going to arbitration against them is $8000 in Seattle; because I have to pay the arbitrator, my own lawyer

I guess this is my version of tweeting into the void hoping that someone helps me figure out what to do :). It is a lot of money. It's funny because I am from and live in Seattle; and post of the local political will currently is again

That is very kind of you, thank you!

Well, I have a lot of records (screenshots in the app, downloaded reports, etc); and I am paying attention closely to the news around antitrust and other items affecting amazon sellers so I believe I'd know if something were to change

That's an interesting idea. However, I am terrified that if I do show up in court and do lose for whatever reason, then I will forever lose my chance at recuperating the funds. Maybe someday, they will realize that banning me was an er

At least you hadn't shipped the MacBook out, to then get banned and lose the MacBook; which has certainly happened to a lot of people based on anecdotes I've read in the past.

Agreed with your sentiment that there needs to be some due process for these companies. Amazon has been holding $24,000 of my seller accounts proceeds for a year now stating that I "violated their TOS" by using the same IP address

That's an interesting idea! I have a walking treadmill that I use at my desk which I usually do a few miles a day on; but I'm definitely no where near 135-145BPM. I think I will give that a shot tomorrow after my next meal; thank

Pretty much. It's really hard to maintain long term because I end up eventually getting so hungry that my brain starts becoming obsessive about food. So my attempts are only half successful.

I've tried limiting certain macros and found that it doesn't really make a difference. I did try do to all meat at one point and got a lot worse. The devil is in the details in regards to the micronutrients. I am absolutely unable

That's crazy. Docs diagnosed me with IBS based on some tests that I had done at the time (anti-vinculin antibody, SIBO breath test, etc). I don't really know. I do know that I don't poop often enough and that the longer I go

Pretty much right away for both. I think it's because with my condition; eating seems to be incredibly inflammatory. So, whenever I eat anything, I my blood pressure spikes tremendously, heart rate jumps ~15 points, I get brain fog &am

I don't know the answer to that; I inject mine, I have read that other people squirt them into their mouth, which I have not tried yet. The results are just so good from injecting it that I can't imagine ingesting it orally being

Thanks; I'm sorry to hear about your health problems I know how debilitating they can be. Hope your case is not as bad as mine. I'm currently self administering FMTs which I get from someone in my local community. I have tested th

It’s scary, but I’m taking some of these myself. I had food poisoning and was diagnosed with IBS-C a few years ago and my life has been pretty deranged since then. Couldn’t sleep more than a few hours a night, couldn’t think, went from a B

That’s awesome to hear that youve gotten a transplant and are still in good health. I suspect that you didn’t need one because of CKD caused by diabetes/blood pressure?

I don't know what to tell you if you say that you bike around the crowded city streets of Seattle and you have never smelled vehicle exhaust. I in particular do not have a very keen sense of smell and hardly a minute goes by without ha
