Good day.
I need some assistance—I recently moved from San Francisco and am looking for a junior GP to transfer my medical records to. I’m currently living near Central Park, so somewhere in that vicinity would be ideal, though I'm not strictly limited to the area. Does anyone have a recommendation? Thanks.

Is there some kind of virus going around lately? I’ve been dealing with a fever hitting 100.4, a cough, and constant congestion for three days now—just lovely.☕

Fellow members,
I’m looking for some advice here—my mother is dealing with severe ear issues, hearing loss, and intense vertigo. She was just diagnosed with atypical Meniere's disease... specifically, "Hydrops labirinthi lat. sin. & Hypoacusis perceptiva sensorica lat. sin. & Paresis Vestibularis lateral dex. gravis." She's currently on Betaserc and a course of corticosteroids. Has anyone else dealt with this? I'm also searching for a specialist who actually knows what they're doing—ideally someone based in Cleveland. Thanks for any help you can provide.

I'm looking for a solid ENT specialist in Cleveland—any recommendations? Thanks.

You’ll just end up losing a few pounds while becoming weaker and depleted of essential vitamins and minerals. Real fitness requires actual exercise—which, in turn, requires fuel—so it's really just a matter of discipline. Starving yourself hasn't ever led to lasting results; if it did, it was always temporary before things took a turn for the worse. Good luck.

Haha, as if I'd try hitting the gym fueled by nothing but chamomile and green tea 😁. I'm on a break right now—one day of fasting isn't going to kill me, but "cleansing" via some vague method probably will. Clearly, none of you actually know what you're talking about anyway

Somewhere halfway between gourmet dining and an alternative lifestyle... hm... it all boils down to health 🙂. I’ve spent the entire day living on nothing but tea and water—so, just like you mentioned in your last post, I should be back in peak condition in a month or two 🙂

Angela Wright said:Going on a water fast is definitely more damaging than just eating healthy—meaning following this food pyramid.
A diet consisting solely of protein isn't healthy either; it actually increases the risk of colon cancer.

That’s certainly true over the long term—but one day of fasting won't kill me. I consume high protein for other reasons, though it doesn't mean I've cut out carbs and everything else entirely.

Fine then—I'll just fast and drink nothing but water for 24 hours tomorrow, followed by a week of nothing but greens, before I finally go back to eating meat and protein again.🙂

I don't see why this would be considered an alternative—the question is actually quite straightforward. I maintain a high-protein diet and hit the gym regularly—about three or four times a week—but after letting things slide for a couple of months and overindulging in sweets, I'm looking to reset. I'm curious to see what others use to detox; my current thought is just a 24-hour fast with nothing but water and tea. What exactly makes that an alternative?

What are your thoughts on detoxing the system—and which methods actually work? I have this nagging feeling that I need to flush out all the excess sugar and junk—I really need to get back in shape after months of total neglect 😉

If you happen to be sensitive about this sort of thing—honestly, it’s pure madness!

I mean, it’s possible, right? Why wouldn't it be? I'm feeling slightly better today—was running a fever of 99.5 last night, but nothing this morning.😁

A stomach virus has been absolutely wrecking me today—cramps and hitting the restroom every thirty minutes. Anything I eat just triggers it immediately. 😢Anyone else currently fighting this battle?
