There's a protocol. Millions of people have successfully and safely followed similar regimens--which is why I can legitimately blow all this knowledge out my ass on the Internet to some virtual stranger I've never met, even without a shred of medical credibility--so you can too, or... you can at least read about it. Which you have patently failed to do. Elsewise, you would know that it is the gold standard for determining food sensitivities, barring the hidden Star Trek-level tech that the Illuminati and The Lizard People are obscuring from the surface population.

I linked you to this months ago and you ignored me. So which is it? Batshit crazy, or deep state shill? You know me, I don't judge--but confession is good for your soul.

Hey, look--we got a scientist up in here. Ask her about a food elimination regimen, as, in Canlandia, they've already eliminated flavour.
How old are you?  I didn't get to 50 by being stupid!  I don't eat three top allergens.  Period.  Whenever I add one of them, I suffer.  Very simple, and classic, well-known symptoms.  There is no need to re-invent the wheel here.  I suspect I am a lot older than you - I have had a lifetime to dink around, have done elimination.  When I ignore you, it is like "Big Monica says, 'Don't bore me!'"

You are on the metaphorical rag.  First, you say I defame you.  Now you say I ignored you.  You insinuated I didn't use enough invectives.  Then you cried libel.  Take two non-starchy vegetables and an Epsom bath and "call me in the morning".

Seriously, I think you win. Are your toes in his mouth yet?

Yes, but you don't actually know why, and you appear to believe that this state of affairs is not addressable.

There is no need to re-invent the wheel here.

I suspect I have found a source of conflict here. The pertinent question is, are you searching for a resolution to your symptoms, or are you searching for a resolution to the cause of your symptoms?

I will freely admit, that I have simply assumed the latter, and in that I have done us both a disservice. Assumptions are a harbinger of rudeness.

That said, if you've already assumed that your health challenges are in any way untreatable or incurable, there's no point in half of your stated efforts--and if you wanna actually heal, an astonishing number of your admitted lifestyle habits, as well as your philosophy and attitude towards them, are damaging the efficacy of the other half.

You are improving of late, of course. /golfclap

So what? You've been around so long, you can discount science? Historically, hersterically--this philosophy tends to not work out well for its adherents.

have done elimination

That's simply not what you indicated before.


Quote from: monica on June 08, 2018, 11:51:13 PM
When I ignore you, it is like "Big Monica says, 'Don't bore me!'"

Your insistence on the values of immediate gratification, false dependency on external stimulation, and textbook examples of lifelong co-dependent reliance, aren't your most churlish character traits--they're symptoms. Pretending that they are virtues does nothing positive for anyone except the parasitic relationships that you've allowed to infest your life.

Only boring people get bored. Buck up.

That's really just your opinion. What's your beef? Not enough "Attaboys!"? Not enough pats on the back? You don't feel like your bigotry is being acknowledged for wisdom? Mystifying.

No.  I hardly think the total amount I've been afflicted by atrial fib or flutter would justify that kind of intervention.  Not even amiodarone.

Before this time -- and the provocation this time was severe between the parainfluenza B and the tx for it -- I last had A fib months earlier, for about an hour.  I might've had a brief episode of A fib some other time since my cardioversion (from A flutter) in the spring of 2017, hard to remember.

Just for the record, I'm going to come right out and say that it is probably not a good idea to do nothing but eat a lot of raw organic cannabis in order to help your problem.

I hear aspirin can help.

Alka Seltzer, MSG and of course caffeine, can aggravate this condition in some people.  Does bearing down for a few moments help at all once in a while?  Experts are no longer recommending aspirin bec they say better meds like warfarin are available.  On the other hand, if the afib is distressing, aspirin is a mild sedative for your mood.  Aspirin is not compatible with lisinopril or amlodipine and other meds though.  For those, take the Tylenol or Excederin thing, but I doubt they are mild sedatives.


I've looked at Afib forums.  You've probably seen them?  There are so many degrees of problems from mere arrhythmia to afib.

I keep pulling my teeth out. Not my front ones. Those are all in tact (for now). But around 1997, I was sitting by myself in a movie theater and a severely decaying molar had been giving me problems. I didn't have insurance and wasn't sure what to do, so I did just about the dumbest thing anybody could do. I had a screw, a screwdriver and an X-Acto knife in my bag, so out it came. Most of it, anyway. The root stayed in for another ten years.

The second tooth I took was after a visit to the dentist. He talked to me like I was a piece of shit (he was probably right). I left and said, "fuck this. I've done it before, I can do it again." and I did.

My molars are all basically gone now. I've got my front and peripheral teeth still (I don't know what you call those). You can't tell that I'm missing teeth unless I'm screaming or standing on a pier somewhere with my mouth open. But it sucks. It's for this reason that sleep is a problem. Pain every night at around the same time for about 21 years now. It shifts from gap to gap (empty spots where teeth used to be). The roots are still in some of them. I've fished them out of others. Always with the same utensils. Screws, safety pins, box cutters. When I die, it'll be of complications of this stupid shit. You can concentrate on pain in some teeth to give yourself a break from others, and it dulls a bit, but it never ends. And sleep doesn't come more often than it does.

Life is fucking bullshit.

Yes but you were wrong earlier!  Giving him his due just spurs him on.  I DON'T WANT to drink cow milk.  I DON'T WANT to eat wheat.  I DON'T NEED eggs until my hormones calm down.  I went through the change after the typical 10-15 year decrease in estrogen, with narry a cycle a year - and suddenly I've been fertile again?  Thank God it didn't happen when I was in ER in April.  All my life the cycle was a big nothing, but now in my fifties I have all the yucky side effects, even at ovulation.  I DON'T NEED eggs right now; I've evidently got too many of my own. 

Experts say people who are allergic should avoid their allergens like eggs, with teeny exceptions, depending on severity.  Like, keep just enough coming in so that your body recognizes what they are.  Otherwise, when you are old and in a home, someone might feed you an allergen and your body could panic and go into anaphylaxis.  So, it's better to have just a tad once in a while so your body remembers how to cope with it (unless you are fatally allergic).  But other than that, I DON'T NEED the things I am allergic to and specialists say avoidance is the key.  I mean, were humans really meant to drink cow milk anyway?  Does wheat really grow in Ireland?  Are eggs full of artificial hormones?  What war is JS concerned that I strive to win?  Not one worth my energy!  I don't miss these things.

Someone tell him to close his eyes for this next part.  I do wish they would invent gluten-free Chicken in a Bisquit crackers, though.  And make real gluten-free Oreos, not some crappy spin-off brands.  And put lactase and all the other enzymes in all raw milk products (It was there before production, so it should be there after production.  This isn't on me!).  While healthy eating is important, occasional fun is too.  And for some hypoglycemic people, thank God not me lately, it is actually important to have "bribe" foods on hand during bouts with nausea.  He can open his eyes now.

OK I see, your issues have been paroxysmal, rather than my sustained (permanent) AFib.

Good luck and good health.

Proof that admitting one has a problem isn't necessarily the hardest part.

Bearing down is the Val Salva maneuver.  Its OK for females to do this as well, their cervix's aren't going to shoot out their vaginas. A good hard strain while dropping the Cosby's off at the pool isn't gonna cause a blowout to nominal female structures. Females internals are not delicate.

AFib IS a type of Arrhythmia .
Arrhythmia means no regular rhythm.
Dysrhythmia means abnormal rhythm.  Both terms are often used interchangeably.

'Geez,' as Norry would say. But in seriousness, there might be free clinics or dental offices who do 'pro-bono' work sometimes. Or at least much cheaper service. I've been told dental health does impact other health so 'not good,' as Trump might say, to have rotting roots still in etc. Though your 'amateur' dentistry, really, isn't much worse than dentistry (and some surgery) recent decades ago- "when in doubt, pull it out" "exploratory surgery" "while I'm in there might as well take this out" etc. But I hope you get the problems fixed. Your art, posters, studio, and deals like hidden art is cool.

I appreciate the input. Yeah I'm told that my mouth issues may or may not have been a contributing factor to this stroke-type thing I had a little while back, but who knows. Anyway, I didn't mean to be so hyperbolic when I posted that. There are days when it hurts bad and days when it doesn't. "Life is fucking bullshit" is just kind of this thing I say when I sign off sometimes. I didn't mean to make it sound like all hope is lost. Life is cool sometimes.

Anyway, thanks

My wife is a very athletic 5'11-and a half tennis player and currently holds a brown belt in taekwondo, she could probably beat up most men on this forum. Except me of course, and I never hit a woman unless she falls down the stairs ;D

Take care of yourself. You’re worth more than this. I knew somebody in Arizona who lost his front teeth at à young âge. Not sure how but he had a number of habits that caused Dry Mouth which causes tooth deczay and was addictEd to Dr. Pepper, cigarettes, and methamphetamine. He found a good and super cheap dentiste in Mexico not far from his home and got his teeth fixed. Apparaît l'y Mexico has good dental care for a fraction of the price than the States.  The dentist didn't lecture him or talk down to him either.

Last yr. I was tempted -- because it was taking so long to get an app't -- to do my own that was loose & hence bothering me.  Maybe if I had, I wouldn't've loosened the adjacent molar w an artificial crown as she did.  The disclaimer did warn that that was a possibility, but I didn't find out it'd happened until a week later or so.  OTOH, that one's post had been glued back in 2 yrs. earlier by a dentist I didn't much like but who wasn't bad, so it had > 1 risk factor going against it.
