Give this a shot: when you're getting ready for a bath, just pour some standard baby oil directly into the tub. It’s probably best to wipe yourself down first with whatever you usually use—just to prep... then soak in the bath and just let yourself "grill" in it. The idea is that the oil stays on the surface so it actually absorbs into your skin—which means you don't even need much water in the tub. (I know they say to apply baby oil to damp skin after a shower, but honestly, the effect isn't nearly as good as this method)... 👍
To properly break down and digest milk, you need enzymes like rennin and lactase. In most people, those levels drop off by the time they hit age three. Milk contains unknown—which, in cow's milk, is 300 times more concentrated than what humans actually need—to support bone development. But once it hits the stomach, it curdles into these massive, tough, nearly indigestible clumps. This unknown puts an immense strain on the human body—forcing it to burn way too much energy just to cope. To make matters worse, this coagulated mass sticks to the intestinal walls... which effectively blocks nutrient absorption. Plus, the metabolic byproducts from digesting milk leave behind a host of highly acidic toxins. That unknown is actually the base for one of the strongest adhesives used in the American woodworking industry.
What’s the deal with unrefined sugar? I honestly don't get the difference—first off, I bought one brand of unrefined sugar that looks like literal mud and is insanely sweet. Then there's this other brand (also unrefined) that's barely even sweet... and after a while, it just turns rock hard—though the label claims that's normal and suggests covering it with a damp cloth for a bit...
A friend of mine has a daughter who was born with neurodermatitis. After three years of bouncing between specialists—and honestly, this disease is just nightmare fuel for a toddler, especially with her skin being covered in rashes and the constant, agonizing itching that forced them to put mittens on her just so she wouldn't scratch herself raw...—they finally decided to try a macrobiotic diet. She’s starting school now, and the issues have completely cleared up. Her husband also switched his diet to match hers because he was struggling with psoriasis—and just like her, his condition vanished entirely.
It definitely has nothing to do with bananas—because whether I’m avoiding them entirely or eating them every single day now, the cramps just keep coming...
swiftbison7, I’m dealing with the same issue—though it doesn't hit me quite as often. I get these sudden, violent cramps while I'm sleeping—it only lasts a few minutes, but in that time, I'm jumping around like a maniac and crying... the pain is just unbearable. Even after the cramp subsides, that area stays sore for another two or three days. It used to happen much more frequently, especially when I was swimming. My blood work came back fine, and I make sure to eat bananas every single day.
Usually, when you're dealing with minor issues like this, psychiatrists will refer you to group therapy—which can be incredibly effective, provided the doctor actually curates the group based on intellectual compatibility. About ten years ago, I went through a program like that, and ever since then, I’ve been "carrying" my best friend through everything... I think they grouped us by that specific standard because even though we were different ages and facing different struggles, we clicked instantly—we ended up hanging out constantly outside of those sessions.
