Yes, you can take those drugs together.
However, if you are experiencing side effects (like the one mentioned in your other thread), please consult your local healthcare provider asap. You might need a dose adjustment or reevaluation. -
7 hours ago, mmKay said:I've had COVID about 15-20 times. I got one vaxx years ago and I cant tell exactly but around that time I started getting extreme poking in the heart, almost like needles. Docs dismissed my claims, said im fine and gave me antiinflamatory meds. Long story short that this repeated throughout one year and a half. It kept going away and coming back. Its gone for a year at least and I dont wanna jinx It.
So... I want to hear some opinions. im sick and tired of getting COVID. But I feel like one more vax and my heart would give Up, no joke. I did some research and It may have been miocarditis or pericarditis. I have no idea though i'm just glad It over.
Also I dont take any medicine whatsoever for anything really. Is that bad? Should I take some meds for COVID?
Thoughts?
Edit: currently EFFIN sick AF again. I work in hospitality and lately been going to plenty of clubs.
You have had Covid 15-20 times?
That means, in a 3 year timespan (since the emergence of the virus) you have caught an infection approx. every 2 months?
Did you verify each time with an antigen test? Are you sure?
Did you get sick often before Covid?
Did you tell this story to your primary healthcare provider? Did they do any testing on you like a lab?
How is your lifestyle? General health? Overweight?
Basically answer @Michael569's questions as well please.

Mercury accumulated in plants are in the forms of Hg(0), Hg(II), and organic Hg. Aquatic plants contain more methyl mercury (organic Hg) than terrestrial plant. On the other hand, the mercury that accumulates in fish is predominantly organic methyl-Hg
So let's take the Bulk Powder Vegan Protein Strawberry: 0.0047 mg/kg mercury
0.0047 mg/kg = 0.0047 μg/g
As you see in the diagram above, normal vegetables sometimes contain 100 times more mercury than your protein powder.
In some cases, like near power plants, this concentration can go over 10 μg/g. (one of the highest ever measured)
In most cases, it's wayyy lower than that of course!The Provisional Tolerable Weekly Intake (PTWI) of mercury suggested by The World Health Organization (WHO) is 1 μg/kg body weight.
Meaning if you weigh 70kg - that's 70μg per week.So you need to eat about 15kg of that protein powder per week to exceed that limit.
I am not saying this is okay by the way. We are getting polluted left and right - and that sucks!
Tolerable intake measurements also do not take into account accumulating effects and complex interactions.
That said, I hope this puts your numbers into perspective!

16 minutes ago, integral said:I think what's happening is the insoluble fibre and how shows up in oat meal apposed to other foods creates a substance/texture that makes it hard to digest. Maybe it has nothing to do with fibre just the oat meal is difficult of the body to breakdown spiking stress levels.
It also strange to think that his glucose is a problem when other foods dont trigger the same problem for him only oatmeal.
Im speaking from experience with oatmeal my entire life, it creates stress when digesting and I absolutely never had glucose problems.
Unless oatmeal has a unique effect on blood glucose that most high sugar foods dont.
QuoteIt also strange to think that his glucose is a problem when other foods dont trigger the same problem for him only oatmeal.
Some people experience a pretty strong glycaemic response from eating oats.
Processing plays a big part as well, with rolled oats having the lowest index.
I agree, it's pretty unusual but his symptoms would be in line with it.
Glucose metabolism can be weird and highly individual. I have seen diabetics who could induldge on certain forms of sugar almost ad infinitum while others would put them into a diabetic coma. That's why he should test it.

1 hour ago, Nilsi said:Interesting. I’ll just do the cycling thingy. Thanks a lot.
I also love Kefir and consume it daily. Does that have to go as well?
No. Kefir is fucking awesome! Propably one of the healthiest animal products out there if consumed in moderation!
I am talking about specific supplementation with probiotics - like the one from neurohacker or the ones sold in pharmacies (Omnibiotic for example). Those are pretty unnecessary or might even cause havoc in the long run. They have their use cases, like I mentioned above - but I would't take them preemptively. Sorry, should have made that clear!
Probiotics in food like Kefir or Sauerkraut are fine and usually regarded as very healthy. Just don't overinduldge.
A decent fiber intake is also important for a healthy microbiome.
When you do your cycle, it's propably better to stop drinking so much Kefir for that month! Just in case

1 hour ago, integral said:I think its the insoluble fibre causing issues, same thing happens to me even when i was very young and healthy.
There are many, many foods with high insoluable fiber content.
In fact it's basically unbiquitous.
If this was the case, he would have reported similar issues with other food - dont you think? -
QuoteWhat do you think about Schmachtenberger‘s new “Qualia Synbiotic“ product?
Well, Daniel and I are friends - so I am kinda biased towards praising neurohacker-products.
I think they are doing a decent job with any of their stacks. The quality control is over to the top! (which is good!). The price is a major downside!
QuoteI don’t have any underlying condition, but I heard many places that probiotics and fermented foods are great for gut brain health.
Would you recommend taking this stuff preemptively?
I would not recommend taking a probiotic product preemptively, no. The benefit is not clear and there could be some major downsides in the long run (there are data points linking long term probiotic use to all kinds of terrible outcomes). I am also not convinced by the quality control of most products.
That said, there is something to be said about cycling. This is complete bro-science but it might be worth a try to get on a probiotic product for a month four times a year (so basically 1 month every quarterly period) and see if you feel any noticeable changes.
Besides that, I would just focus on a healthy diet to keep your microbiome happy - which is proven to work and has many additional benefits.

Hmm, I don't know. I should test it.
No
I eat different oat brands and they all feel more or less the same.
Those are random Polish brands, so it won't tell you much I think.
They are full, not instant oats (not sure how do you call them in english exactly).
Yeah, definitely get your glucose-metabolism checked by a doctor. I dont think there will be anything wrong, because that would be an odd way to show - but it's a really quick test and then you know. There is a thing called "reactive hypoglycaemia" which is a symptomatic decrease in blood sugar occurring after a high carbohydrate meal. This can happen to people with or without diabetes. A lesser known form is the so called "adrenergic postprandial syndrome", which would perfectly fit your symptoms - it's an autonomic stress response from your body after etaing certain foods and doesn't have anything to do with blood sugar.
Maybe try to add stuff like Michael mentioned. That could resolve the problem altogether. -
4 hours ago, Something Funny said:I've noticed that after I eat oatmeal I start to feel kind of agitated/irritated/panicky. And also get a very dry feeling in my mouth which stays for a few hours no matter how much water I drink. Does anyone know why this might be happening?
I usually cook my oatmeal with just water.
Interesting! Your symptoms imply a sympathomimetic ("stress") response.
Do you have any underlying health-condition?
Ever experienced problems with blood sugar regulation?
Do you have the same symptoms after drinking oatmilk?
Any other food that cause similar symptoms?
Ever tried changing the oat-brand? Which brand do you use?
For how long do you cook your oats?

That would be OP to tell him about the virtues of using lower case letters and the wonders that might happen by letting go of the shift-modifier.

1 hour ago, Twega said:Pretty good summary.
Some caveats:
- The study mentioned (published in the Cell Journal) is a tiny and poorly controlled study. We need more reserach (as he said).
- As I mentioned before, most people's microbiome recovers pretty well in 4-8 weeks. It tends to be more problematic in individuals with an underlying gut-condition or antiobitic induced diarrhea. That's why I asked OP if he is experiencing diarrhea as well. Probiotics might be more useful in those cases and there is some decent evidence to suppot that.
- What's completely left out (but waspropably discussed in the full podcast) are the potential side effects of probiotic use. There are case reports and some higher tier evidence that show probiotics can actually fuck up your microbiome if you are not careful.- At the end of the clip, he talks about C.difficile infections after antibiotic use. This happens because some antibiotics specifically kill strains that keep C.diff under control. The antibiotic OP takes (doxycycline) is actually associated with a lower risk for C-diff infection than other antibiotics.

4 hours ago, Loving Radiance said:Currently I am taking 200 mg of Doxycyclin for Lyme disease after having been bit by a tick 4 weeks ago. I have stomach ache on a daily basis and can't wait to finish this.
Do you have suggestions which probiotics are best to take after I finished this treatment?
You got diarrhea as well or just the pain?
Here is the thing: a specific traetment with some probiotic drug is not really necessary in most cases. Your microbiome will regain balance in 4-8 weeks and you will be fine after that. Eat some healthy food, focus on decent fiber intake and add some fermented products (like Kefir or Sauerkraut) to support your gut.
However, if you really want to take some supplement here is my advice: Before ordering anything online, go to your local pharmacy and ask for their probiotic products. Most probiotics sold in pharmacies are pretty decent quality, the only thing you should research is the amout of "colony-forming units" (CFU) per dosage. You can ask the pharmacist or simply google it. For an effective dose, it should be more than 5 billion units/day.
If you want to order online, do your reserach first. There is so much garbage out there which will do more harm than good. -
This is the one I guess?

Quick feedback:
1) You need to invest in better audio/video equipment.The audio in particular is absolutely terrible. There is so much self-help content out there - if you really want to grow your channel, this is an absolute must have.
2) You have zero on-screen charisma. Nobody will watch your videos and think: "Damn, that's how I want to be. Let's follow this guys advice, he sounds legit.".
You need to work on the basics: Presentation skills, story-telling, body-language, tonality etc..
That's nothing unusual - I remember my first attempts in recording self-help content and it looked very similar!
You can do it! -
QuoteDo you believe not including the breathhold could be somewhat dangerous? What's your take on it?
No, that would not be dangerous. Dont' worry about minor stuff like that.
QuoteYou said that when you do breathold CO2 slowly raises & pH drops... but if i just breath normally after 30 breaths, won't the same process happen???
Kinda but not exactly.
If you keep breathing with a normal pace, your CO2 will slowly come up towards your "normal" level and equalize at that point.
If you do a breathhold, the same process will happen faster (since there is no gas exchange at all) and at some point it will tip over into a hypercapnic state (higher CO2 than usual) and a measureable decrease in blood O2. Again, this is not dangerous per se but might actually trigger benificial physiolgoical adaptions like reduced inflammation.
Thats why I suggested doing it with breathholds!
QuoteDo you think doing many many deep breaths without any breathhold could be dangerous?
If you practice it in a safe environment (i.e not in your bathtub) and don't suffer from a severe cardiovascular condition (heart-condition or out of whack blood pressure etc.) - then I don't think this will be very dangerous. Listen to your body and do it under your own responsibility. As you mentioned, it Can be very healing.

@Leo Gura
My offer to work with you on your health issues for free is still standing by the way.
Complex cases like yours are extremely interesting to me.
I know you are not keen sharing private information with strangers, which is of course understandable.
But if you ever change your mind, just let me know. -
QuoteSo what you mean is that deep breathing results in lower oxygen levels in the brain but not in a significant & dangerous way? I don't quite understand this part.
Yes, that's very simplified but you could put it that way!
QuoteWhat if you do deep breathing without any breatholds? Are the breathholds really necessary?
What if i want to do 30 deep breaths and then stop & just breath normally? Is that okay too?
Difficult to tell if it's necessary. Personally, I would include the breathhold - it's just the way the exercise is set up in the first place.
Maybe a complete breathhold is necessary to induce certain physiological changes - I don't know that.
Maybe try it out and notice any subjective differences.

15 minutes ago, Leo Gura said:But is that really worth spending 10-20 years in prison? I would rather live in Africa than spend 15 years in a Romanian prison. That prison would destroy his whole life.
Does anyone know what his sentence is likely to be if found guilty? It's gotta be steep.
From what I have seen/learned so far, he won't get anything close to 10-20 years.
The charges are legit but the baseline for juridical evidence in any EU country is pretty tough all things considered. This is especially true for a high-tier case with a lot of public attention. Most of the evidence brought forward against the Tates leave a lot of wiggle-room to create the illusion of plausible deniability. You can bet that he will spend crazy $$$ on the best criminal defence available. Also, I can assure you that there will be numerous voices testifying in favor of Tate.
At the end of the day, I fear that it will end up in a scenario where it's claims vs claims with high quantity but low quality evidence. What most likely follows is a settlement (like leaving Romania) + some sort of financial penalty or a short jail sentence under mitigating circumstances.
That's where my money is on currently! -
No, Tate won't flee from Romania because that would be a super dumb idea - and he knows that.
Romania is part of the EU - so fleeing the country would trigger a EU wide arrest warrant. He would basically deny himself any chance of traveling to any EU country every egain. Not to mention what would happen to his properties. That's why they removed the house arrest - they KNOW he wont flee. -

9 minutes ago, Anon212 said:That's not true bro, I'm pretty sure people like Ram Dass, Eckhart Tolle, Rupert Spira, Alan Watts agree on their spiritual viewpoints. They really do seem to fully agree with each other.
You mention 4 spiritual popstars and even those would not agree with each other frequently.
Broaden your horizon. The spiritual beef about who is actually "right" has been going on since the old sages of the Indus-valley were dissing each other in sacred texts. Take one master out of each buddhist traditon (theravada, mahayana, zen, tibethan..) and it would end with a lot of bloody noses...

Ralston could be the slightly autistic twinbrother of Jed McKenna.
Both follow a very similar, hyper rational, cut through the "bullshit" teaching style.
But of course, this comes at a cost.
In my opinion, Ralston lacks an integral component in his framework.
His heuristic does not leave room for psychodelics.
A overreliance on contemplation is what ultimately limits any further breakthroughs.
That said, I think he is an impeccable teacher.
If you are new or an intermediate and want to make progress fast, he is propably one of the best ones out there. -
