Zinc and magnesium are depleted massively during cold and stress. Taking something like 20mg of zinc and 350mg of magnesium for a while can be helpful. Also Vitamin C has been shown to decrease the severity and duration of cold. . Depends on how bad it is you can go as far as 5*1000mg a day but I'd probably stay to 2*1,000 of ascorbic acid (synth.vit C). In case you want to avoid supplements, ginger tea with lemon and honey couple times a day, echinacea may have some cold fighting properties although there is not enough evidence backing this up. And than citrus fruits, if you have juicer, than vegetable juices with garlic and ginger (yummy). Avoid heavy meals with high protein and fat and keep it mostly raw. Don't take medications unless you have to, you have a cold for a reason, your body is fighting an infection by raising a temperature, sweating and geting rid of mucus, all these are immune defences. So make sure you support the body nutritionally but dont block the temperature or any of the processes. (As long as the temperature is below 38.5 degree celsius you are good )

Because it is easy to approach a woman online especially if she deliberately puts herself out there. Most guys generally, are terrified of rejection so they will not approach you even if they would love to. We live in a culture where it is expected from guys to approach women but why should it always be so? Do you ever feel a slight hint of chemistry with a guy? Maybe he does too but is shy to do anything about it..so be the first to take a step instead, you might be surprised how fast people can open up when they don't have to be the ones initiating the conversation. my office is on 40th floor in a busy building and quite often when being in an elevator with a single person I try to initiate a conversation and n many occasions by the time we got to 0, we could literally go for a beer and continue for another 2 hours...humans always have so much "mind baggage" carrying with us and often wish we could just tell someone our story even if it is a stranger you just met...whoever is willing to listen to us, we will like them very much without even realising why

hey, maybe we will create an AI that will realize that humans are a cancerous virus of this planet not even good as their slaves and will start wiping us out before we get to fatal climate change.

Not a female opinion here but just wondering, do you currently have a lot of stress in your life? Sometimes it may happen that your body stops(or limits) producing sex hormones in favour of cortisol or other steroids to counter stress, disease or any ongoing issue.

Yeah, that's the point. At the time being "me" is this physical thing in the present moment. I haven't done enough consciousness work to be able to perceive it any other way

@Leo Gura do you think a person can care about enlightenment even if they don't have some of the basic shit figured out. I want to be more interested in nonduality but my mind just keeps dragging me towards life purpose and financial independence and I just can't open my mind to this topic enough...just yet. Is there such thing as doing LP and raising one's level of consciousness at the same time or would they be clashing with each other?

"Why we sleep?" by Matthew Walker --> on my "to read this year list" is supposed to be very informative on this topic, perhaps check it out.

@dude you seem like a knowledgeable guy in this area. What would you suggest as an alternative to Adobe Premier Pro to someone who has some editing skills but doesn't want to pay 400$ a year for editing software. Not a professional editing ..at leat not yet. Thanks!

I also used to suffer from Asthma around 2 years ago, was getting lot of chest tightness and wheezing especially at night to a degree where I had to sit down and catch my breath, sometimes I would spend half an hour,just sitting and trying to calm my breathing ..probably caused by the Allergies starting to get deeper in the body. But it somewhow went away on its own, not sure if diet had to do anything with it. I've also mentioned Dr Morse's healing protocol few times on this site (fruits, veggies and herbs) ,the most beneficial thing I've ever done, my allergies is 90% gone and has stayed that way for some time now....I believe we spoke about this through couple messages exchanged. Anyways, perhaps the asthma is just progressed allergies for you as well? That's how it was for me.

What @InfinitePotential said, all great advice especially clean eating, stimulants, getting enought sleep and exercise while reducing stress. Other things you may try: Watch your sodium intake (processed foods, oversalting, eating out, eating in industrial cheap restaurants) and try to stay bellow 1g per day if possible. A single sodium-heavy meal will bump up your heart pressure within few hours. Try using miso paste in your meals instead of salt, it tastes the same but does not have the blood pressure bumping effect. You should be able to get all the sodium you need from vegetables. Or have a celery juice every once in a while. This is probably one of the most important points. In fact, get rid of your table salt shaker, you should not have a need for it. Drink plenty of water, it helps with an efficient movement of sodium across body and excretion when needed Get rid of coffee permanently if you haven't already. Induces HPA axis hyperactivation, makes you overstressed and raises your blood pressure and heart beating rate. Increase your intake of fruit, especially berries and melons every once in a while. Try to aim up to 10 portions a day. I think there was also some link between kiwi and lower blood pressure. Think giant smoothie bowl for breakfast instead of toast, eggs or cornflakes Have a giant colourful salad every day with a lots of green leafy vegetables. Eat more whole grains - there is a big association between those and reduced blood pressure, risc of cardiovascular problems and type II diabetes. Make sure they are in their whole form, think: buckwheat, oats, quinoa, amaranth, brown rice, spelt, kamut...

Do you know what type of cancer? Also, do you know what stage is he and how far has it spread?

Because you've come around, full circle in a spiral and moved from having science on a pedestal to observing science with curiosity but keeping an eye on the bigger picture at the same time. Science has so much to offer regardless of how deep you want to go, someone has already done the hard work of discovering that shit for you. I find it absolutely fascinating to observe nutritional and health science but have to keep reminding myself that it is just one piece of the giant puzzle So be curious but be extremely selective and critical in what you apply.

very practical post, thank you !!

This is what I was thinking when asking about the Herpes virus as it been proven to trigger ADD by causing some neurological hyperexcitability

Did you do the vision board exercise? Anyone on there you could use?

That would not necessarily be a good thing. The factory animals go through incredibly stressful moments before slaughter which results in accumulation of massive amounts of adrenaline and cortisol in their muscle tissues, effectively once you eat it you also eat all those neurotransmitters......could be one of the reasons why people on plant based diet are more compassionate because they do not get these.... but than again, this theory might be full of shit and propagated by green ideology

I think the same but with this, we get into realm of conspiracies, which is what the whole immunization is entangled with. Take a good care of yourself and you'll probably be less likely to contract flu than people who get shots every year and get the virus nevertheless.

Probably a non-related question but have you ever suffered from cold sores / herpes outbreaks in the past? If so, how often? ....just exploring a potential (but unlikely) link with the ADD.

Without wanting to sound like an insensitive dick, you may want to reconsider the future of this relationship. With time the gap between you two will only grow with you working on yourself and her wanting to stay comfortable. Here jealousy is only likely to get worse as well unless she recognises it on time and devotes time into fixing it. it is NOT your job to be fixing her neurosis...it is pretty obvious that you guys do not have same motives or similar values. You becoming more and more unattached, conscious and openminded is going to drive her to hide deeper and deeper in the cacoon to the extend of her giving you hysterical jealousy tantrum when you talk to other girls (not necessarily). Just a food for thought.

Yeah pretty much. There is an extreme end for a man being too feminine as well crying and moaning like a little bitch over everything afraid to take control but the superior alpha macho man, I find these guys extremely hillarious, the more they try the funnier it is

what a mindfuck rollercoaster

Seems like a life purpose calling right there buddy

nice way to increase quarterly revenue for pharma companies producing them

good source, thanks for shaing + I'd also add playfulness, vulnerability and less alpha masculinity for guys ...but that's prob. obvious to most actualizers anyway
