In the physical realm, fixing your metabolic health is an underappreciated step. Psychotherapy, IFS, Heavy Metal Detox among others. I am less in tune with the spiritual realm at the moment, but meditation and celibacy (with balance, and transmutation) has been a banger when I was doing it consistently. EDIT: Detaching from stimulating technology that occupies your mind, embracing boredom is another one.

Seek out high quality therapists as said before. It's not just talking, there are a lot of other techniques - NLP, KIP, Hypnotherapy, IFS, EMDR, Psychedelic assisted ones etc. If someone has really deep rooted issues, other forms of therapy like different forms of touching, swaying in water etc. can help uproot those exiled memories of pain. Therapists are not all scum, and AI can not help physically.

I'm sorry to read what you are going through, and I hope you find the source to heal! However I don't think you are going to get an accurate diagnosis here. Regardless, there are a few potential causes that come to mind. Thyroid issues, anemia, certain nutritional deficiencies (vitamin D, Bs, minerals like copper&zinc, magnesium etc.). A comprehensive bloodwork is needed, especially if they haven't look at corresponding markers. I was looking through the web and found a comprehensive website with a shitton of resourceful information, that you may find helpful. https://cfsremission.com/model-of-cfs/ One of the things people report there is finding relief by including vitamin D in their regime, levels above 50ng providing the biggest improvements. https://cfsremission.com/treatment/symptom-mitigation/core-vitamin-d3/ The main component or culprit there appears to be gut bacteria, that is altered in an unhealthy way. I'm not well-versed in water fasting, but I'm not sure the body can fully heal itself that way when key building components are missing, toxins are overly present, or the stores are low. Heavy Metal Toxicity is also a potential culprit, lots of information to be found even on this site. Developing a personal protocol with a professional, especially when it comes artificial chelators like ALA, DMSO etc. Alternatively there exist more natural approaches. They involve for example increasing methallothionein production within the body (zinc, copper, selenium and cofactors - See the works of Jason Hommel here), iodine, glutathione etc.

I've been experimenting with it for years with trial & error, the most I had was 93 days or so. What helped me was that I stopped counting the days and felt a genuine disgust towards the practice back then. It's great but don't think of it as an all-in-one card. SR by itself may cause unintentional issues like insomnia, irritability, agression (it did for me at least) especially if you don't do anything with the additional energy you build. Meditation and other means of transmutation help a lot. Take care of yourself and your life as well along the ride. I'm on a track to go far with it once more, after months of negligence. It also helps me indirectly, by allowing me to face my demons over time. EDIT: To answer your question, it's entirely individual. Some people can go far without issues, while others build so much energy they can't do anything with it. It just explodes in one form or another.

I’ve been taking magnesium bisglycinate, and I sometimes experienced this tired or drowsy feeling. It's not as expressed for me, unless I take a very high dose (1000mg+). Glycin, which this form of Magnesium is paired with, has a calming effect. That would explain it. Nowadays I take 600-800mg a day, but it's needed for my high dosage of vitamin D otherwise I develop insomnia and other uncomfortable symptoms over time. Malate sounds like a good alternative, taurate or even threonate if you can afford it (supposedly even more bio-available, especially since it can evidently cross the blood-brain-barrier).

Suddenly *Go Fuck Yourself* doesn't feel as insulting anymore..

Check your vitamin D levels, as a deficiency can aggravate such symptoms. It is mistakenly labeled as a vitamin, it's more like an immunomudolator, as well as tissue and bone-modulator. I haven't had back pains since correcting my levels, my knees feel a lot better too. It can take some time, but other cofactors such as Magnesium can help a lot too. Here's a source for reference.

I've been able to increase the clarity of my sight through certain supplements - things like vitamin D, A, Zinc etc. (including nightsight). It's not perfect as I still wear glasses for near stuff like reading/screens, but I have cylinders (astigmatism) making it hard to focus sometimes. Those I believe can not be corrected that easily. Besides this approach, spend as much time in natural environment as possible. Prolonged stationary usage such as gaming may make your eyes lazy and dry out due to severely reduced blinking. Natural habitat such as forests can help you revitalize your eyes, I believe it relates to some kind of metabolism increase by using it (varying focus, blinking etc.) as well as the Sun.

Hell yeah! I started moving again more seriously after a few months (years) of hiatus. Just walking a few kms to my job makes a huuge difference. Swimming in a lake made a big change too. Do it out in the Sun and you will be revitalized!

Why does every topic need to be mental masturbation and bickery, coated as non-dual debates? This is the Health & Fitness sub-forum, not the spiritual one. In regards to the topic, I agree with health being one of the most foundational aspects for life. I'd say the majority of us have latent inflammation and damage in our bodies that haven't been healed. Focusing on health 100% would be providing the body with the necessary resources to heal itself. A balanced diet free of processed stuff, combined with supplementation to correct clinical and subclinical deficiencies - eventually reaching optimal levels wherever possible. Throw heavy metal chelation into the mix as well. Other clichés such as exercise, socialization, stress and emotional management, therapy like IFS, meditation etc. This can free you of visits to the doctor into your elderly years (besides regular checkups or physical trauma), potentially for life. The pharmaceutical and the food industry are inherently business entities, and have joint financial interests so take stuff from them with a heavy grain of salt. Some people like Brian Johnson thrive on such over-optimization, but in my perspective others can thrive better on balance especially once their bodies are healed and robust.

Noam Chomsky has some valuable lectures available on youtube like this - Noam Chomsky: Israel and Palestine (Full Lecture) Ron Unz has a shitton of great material written about many controversial topics including this one - you can read them here Even if one does not agree with some of the content or the presentation at the website linked above (it's very lightly moderated), it is a treasure hub for valuable resources of various less-known authors and perspectives.

Looks like Israel put the recently redirected shipment of 20,000 missiles (that was initially meant for Ukraine) to use.

Interesting, I noticed the same! Yeah probably 90+% of people are deficient, but not because of malabsorption or gut issues. There's barely any vitamin D to be found in dietary sources, used to be more in the past. Even the RDA of 600 IU is not enough to reach sufficiency of 30+ ng/mL for the majority of people. The only reliable sources are UVB Sunlight, and supplements unfortunately. I'd say 4-5,000 IU is the minimum every adult should take daily, regardless of sun exposure. Except, I found an article that discusses gene-modified (CRISPER) tomato leaves providing 8,000 IU of vitamin D per gram!

Canada has been suffering from large-scale wildfires since Mid-May, which are still on-going. According to the news, 33000+ people had to have been evacuated from their homes. According to the latest reports, the vegetation of roughly 19,900 km2 area has been consumed, which is about the size of the country of Slovenia. The consequential smoke that was created sunk south to the US, degrading the air quality on the eastern half. New York, for example. Furthermore the smoke travelled above the Atlantic, up to Europe. It was observed even above Greece, as the most eastern location of the smoke so far. Even though the air quality is mostly unaffected in Europe since the fumes are so high in the atmosphere, the fact it reached Europe is very much telling of the impact this wildfire has. You can track the wildfire activity at this interactive map. The spread of the smoke can be seen on this map. It was most likely human-produced, but magnified beyond words due to the current atmospheric conditions. God be with the victims and those affected.

Astounding documentary, for free! Thank you for sharing, I'll be watching the others too! I agree that spiritual passivity may no longer be enough to provide a brighter future for us all, we need to act! However the sociostructural and physical resources most of these mega-scale technological projects require to reach the efficacy needed to be able to buy enough time for us to find a sustainable solution moving us away from societal collapse, would require unseen levels of global cooperation. Maybe China can do it? At least he awareness is spreading, and there are very positive trends like the Great Green Wall project. I recently had a 'we are ultimately doomed, no matter what we do' phase, however the pain that comes with the increased awareness due to my research, is accompanied with the increased desire to act and do what I can where I can. This video played a role in this, thank you!
