Would love to hear from folks who have been through something similar. Hey Justin, I have been through something similar. My parents are not/were not open to this. I tried repeatedly as information became available. They would either tease me about thinking that I am going to live forever or tell m...

I've got a ways to go with my diet to get it in line with the Keto-flex diet (and I'm struggling with this a lot--not the fasting part but the carbohydrate/fiber intake and getting my caloric intake up--BMI is 19). Hi Cindy, I want to respond to this small part of your post. I just turned 60, am 3/...

I don't have suggestions for protein and fiber powders, but having been on a liquid diet for a week for diverticulitis a dozen years ago, I was specifically told to avoid fiber in liquids during that time. How much fiber you try to include may depend on how your GI system will handle it. Thanks for...

I will have to be on a mostly liquid diet for a couple of weeks. I am asking this very smart, health-conscious group if there are any specific recommendations for a protein powder and a fiber powder. I already have my organic veggie powder. I know it's not ideal, but it is just two weeks. Thanks for...

BUT I literally make and design alcohol as my job. This is my income, my business and the major part of my life. If you love what you do, then make it work for you. If you drink because you need to taste, learn to spit. If it is for social situations, you just have to learn a different way to be in...

Sigh... that's me - old male 4/4. Oh no, do not despair! I am a mildly old 3/4 woman, so not quite the same, but still.... I have been following the group linked below since the beginning of the pandemic. They caught my attention because as they learned new information, they changed their recommend...

On YouTube I found some tapping videos that helped. (Tapping is one of the things that works well for some people and does nothing for others.) If you haven’t tried it yet, you might try tapping for grief, or tapping for anxiety , or whatever it is that you need to release. It is just another possi...

I've been going through something like this with my son. When I wake up in the middle of the night and start thinking dark thoughts and it starts to spiral, I find that turning on the TV very low helps me break the spiral. Too low to really understand, so I don't start to follow it. Maybe not the b...

Yes, root planing. When I was on the antibiotics, I also went on a mutli-week water fast. At the time, I was thinking the lack of food in my mouth for that long may've been the reason for the healing... It was very quick. After 14 days, I could no longer use my tongue to pull the gum away from my t...

I had deep pockets at one point and they wanted to operate 2 different times to fix it all. I went to another dentist, and they ended up doing a deep cleaning (way under gums) and mine improved. Tested for one bacteria implicated in AD (don't remember what it was), and I had it. They put me on anti...
