I really hope they caught it early enough and that everything turns out okay...

That’s got nothing to do with vitiligo; if he actually had that, he’d already know. We're talking about patches of skin losing pigment here, not just having a pale complexion.

If you've already ruled out anemia as the reason for being so pale, maybe try getting moving a bit more? Honestly, even just basic activity can help. Also, maybe try to catch a little more sunlight to get some color, though I know we're told staying out of the sun is healthier these days. You could even hit up a tanning salon two or three times if you don't have any issues with moles or skin spots—there's really no shame in it.

I'm pretty pale myself, but I've just accepted that this is as much color as I'm ever going to get. Plus, I'm allergic to the sun, so there's really nothing I can do...🙂

And I bet it isn't easy for you either. Obviously...

As you can see, a few replies have been lost to the void. I really hope I didn't hurt anyone's feelings by deleting them, but this thread was just heading in the wrong direction...

I didn't really catch the details on the calcium absorption rates and those m.m. percentages—that info seems pretty solid. But anyway, what else actually slows down absorption, and what can we do to give it a little boost?

Also, regarding supplements, what’s the best way to take them? I read somewhere that calcium citrate is the way to go, but is that actually true or just clever marketing from the big pharma companies?
Apparently, the carbonate version doesn't absorb all that well...

Geez, placidjackal97, I don't know how you do it!

Personally, I find most dairy products totally gross, and there's no way I could eat them every day. Maybe a splash of milk in my coffee, but that's about it. I might have some cheese a couple of times a week, and yogurt maybe once a month at most.

Just regular milk makes me feel sick—I can't handle lactose at all. Honestly, even the smell and taste are too much... if someone actually forced me to chug a glass of milk right now, I’d probably throw up on the spot because it's just so revolting.

Look, you can't mess around when it comes to your ovaries. It’s definitely worth getting an ultrasound just to be on the safe side.

I know from experience that I get those pains right around day 14, right when I'm ovulating...

George Bailey2 said:Hold on, just wait until a few people on this forum try to explain to you that protein powder is basically pure chemicals—basically steroids that’ll make your mustache grow overnight! They'll tell you it's totally unhealthy and that you'll end up with muscles as huge as the Governor of California or Jarmila Kratochvilova... they'll probably suggest you're better off just sticking to bacon and onions like Janica. I mean, have you seen how she looks after all that bacon and onions? 🙂

Equating protein to steroids is just plain stupid. And look, I'm not one to sit here and analyze Janica's specific training routine or her diet, but if something isn't quite right there, her physical condition—especially those joints—really seems to show it...

What you're looking at are actually just dead skin cells, and there can be all sorts of different triggers behind it.

It's definitely not contagious.

You might want to try searching Google for "dandruff" to get more info...

This is an excellent website. You can really tell they stay on top of all the latest breakthroughs in gynecology, plus there's a forum where you can drop a question and actually get some seriously professional advice...

I just sent you a PM! I've heard nothing but amazing things about her, and honestly, her website is fantastic too.

Geez, what kind of trouble do you actually enjoy getting into just to stay on top of things? 🙄

Fat cells are on the rise.

I wouldn't go so far as to say there are any cells in the body that don't serve a purpose—even adipocytes (fat cells) actually have their own specific function...

dustycanyon6 said:If you have enough common sense to read between the lines, it’s incredibly obvious this whole thing was a paid hit job—just look at the tone and the way the arguments are framed. It’s a joke, not actual journalism. I actually spoke with someone who has a much better handle on Dr. Radman’s situation, and they pointed out he stands to gain quite a bit from this. You won't find a single serious scientist writing such a lame, unprofessional piece unless there's money involved... So, I can't help but wonder why only Radman's side is being aired. Why hasn't Jost shared his perspective? This nutritionist guy writes about Radman and Jost as if they’re total opposites, but when I go looking for Jost’s response to Radman's piece, it’s nowhere to be found!? I think we all know why that is. Monsanto—does that ring a bell? That company produces about 80% of the GMO seeds out there. And for those who aren't aware, Monsanto also makes aspartame, which should NEVER have been approved for use (but hey, everything is possible if you have enough cash!). I’m not even talking about GMO food right now; I’m talking about outright lies, corruption, and monopolies. Americans are honestly appalled that Europe is resisting GMO crops.

Here’s another lie for you: GMO plants get sprayed with pesticides just as much as, if not more than, conventionally grown ones. It doesn't matter what Monsanto claims; listen to what the farmers are saying instead. 😉 There's plenty of info on this online, so I won't dump a bunch of links here.

Look, it’s all just politics. I won't get into whether the article was bought or not, but it definitely aligns with the recent analyses of products currently hitting our markets. It's well known that Radman works closely with the government, so I wouldn't be surprised if this was written purely for his own interests.

As for the spraying part, I'm not so sure. Isn't the whole point that these plants are genetically resistant to pests, so they don't actually *need* as much chemical treatment during growth? Now, I'm definitely no agronomist, but that sounds logical to me. It would be great if someone with some actual expertise could weigh in on this...

Oh, come on, don't be like that 🙂))

(p.s., I'm not deleting this, my hands are tied today 🙂 )

placidjackal97 said:What do people who skip bread for breakfast actually eat? And I’m not trying to be difficult here...🙂

Usually just some chocolate or those protein bars—the ones with chocolate chips if I can find them 😁. Seriously.
Or honestly, I don't even bother with breakfast most days; I'll just whip up a cappuccino sometimes (ideally with an Irish cream vibe, though I usually just do half a teaspoon, half water, and half milk. A friend of mine nearly gagged the other day, saying it looked like a science experiment gone wrong, but to me, it's basically just flavored water 😁).

I don't necessarily think Monsanto products are some kind of monster, but we definitely need to dig deeper into the long-term effects of growing and eating that kind of food. I was reading about how those crops can mess with the natural balance of our ecosystem. Of course, nothing beats organic, but let's be real—not everyone can afford that lifestyle these days. If it were up to me, I’d take GMO over food soaked in pesticides any day of the week.

As for bread, I eat both white and seeded varieties. I’m not a huge fan of plain rye, and corn bread isn't really my thing either. Actually, now that I think about it, I don't even eat that much bread... just whenever I feel like making a sandwich, so it's definitely not a daily thing.

Nowadays, you can actually just have bloodwork done right at your own house. I don't even think it’s as crazy expensive as people make it out to be anymore. It’s probably a total lifesaver for anyone with a packed schedule who just doesn't have the energy or the patience to sit around in a doctor's waiting room all day...

Yeah, you should probably get some blood work done and check those thyroid levels... plus I know your blood pressure is up 🙂

I doubt it's just seasonal allergies hitting you hard right now, especially since we're currently buried under all this snow 🙂))

So, you guys are all coworkers... medical techs or whatever it is you do...

Anyway, you’ve got this until tomorrow, and then it’s headed straight to the scrap heap or the bottomless pit 🙂
