Missed your post. Thanks for the advice, although I must say I am skeptical of plant-based. I will research it some more though.

I'm working on it, but it's very challenging because of my chronic illness, which unfortunately is worse at night.

Thank you for the advice. I'm working remotely now so it is indeed a self-reinforcing thing. But the reason I work remotely now is that I was constantly being watched when working in offices and it burned me out very, very fast having

How would this be reconciled with significant weight loss often being a symptom of type 2 diabetes?

Yes, you're probably right about that being a trigger. Unfortunately moving is not an option right now.

You might be interested in somnoplasty, it seems less invasive than traditional surgery, although I have yet to complete my research on it. It's usually done for soft palate reduction in order to remedy some forms of sleep apnea, but i

It may even be a post-viral syndrome, which is virtually impossible to detect.

Thanks for posting this. I've experienced something similar. My nasal passages have almost always been swollen since I was 11-12. Most ENTs I'd seen over the last 15-20 years have completely failed to provide me with relief. Earli

There is a scriptural basis for believing that the proposed Christian afterlife does not begin upon death, but after the second coming.

The raw data is what's being called "shockingly similar" by the expert quoted in the article. He considers the final result confusing.

Candida is what a lot of people assume it is, but there's really no way to know for certain what microorganism is imbalanced in your gut, so like many people I started off thinking it was Candida but then moved to more general approach

I can eat small amounts of wheat and any amount of rice without any symptoms. I haven't tried quinoa because I have sufficient grains in my diet now, and don't want to risk reacting to a new food. Here's a temporary email add

That's entirely consistent with what I said: many people don't have free will. But free will does exist.

by theprotocol 8y ago
That's a valid view, but I don't think it's possible for us to settle this definitively. I will think more on why I seem to find that free will is real. Just to clarify my view: I think there is a threshold of experience beyo

I'm not sure which discussion branch to reply to you on. But I would like to put forth the argument that people get closer to gaining the required awareness that would make them free as time passes and they gain experience. This is sim

I think you'd have to reduce the problem set/space for that to be effective (which is a very similar concept to reducing how you define your state space in AI, if you're familiar with that). If the problem set has too many va

Indeed, but they are also very harsh and my digestive tract sensitive. Sometimes it's just that simple. Also, vinegar is fermented and thus very high in histamines, on top of being corrosive.

Sure, but please note that it is not to be construed as advice, merely an example of what might work for someone, and that everyone is different (for instance, one of my posts mentions that a subset of people do extremely well on a diet opp

I don't have any statistics, but judging from the number of sites and blogs that have popped up that deal with similar conditions, this seems to be an increasingly common problem. It seems like you could now speak about brain fog and e

I don't have notes per se, and I am afraid to say something that can be considered advice. I can answer any question you might have though (assuming it's appropriate for me to do so here, I hope I don't annoy HN users).

I've had several gastroscopies and always had biopsies taken. Eosinophils were within the normal range, so whatever I have is not a true allergy.

Both. Regarding diet, I started observing the effects of everything I ate and adjusting accordingly, somewhat like an elimination diet. I was actually really clueless at first and had numerous deficiencies as a tradeoff for some of the symp

I figured out that my problems were related to intestinal microflora because they became ten times worse after undergoing 3 courses of H. Pylori eradication therapy in the span of only a few months, and I never improved for years afterwards
