There are all sorts of alternative products on the market. Make sure to avoid Parabens, SLS, Sulfites, Alluminium (especially important to avoid in deodorants for ladies) and Alcohol (that list is much longer but can't remember more). The less ingredients the better. There are a lot of these soapy types of products that you rub on your head &body when wet, that are made from herbal ingredients like levander or eucalyptus, do a bit of a research and find a reputable conscious company, these will be small businesses, often they sell on Amazon as they have no distribution infrastructure of their own.
One thing I've noticed is that these products don't really give you the smooth feeling on your hair as all the chemical ones so using something like Castor Oil, Jojoba Oil or Coconut oil on your hair every once in while may also help.
also agreed with @Feel Good, some households instal reverse osmosis filters to get a pure water but that can be pricey.

Ideally, you should be below 70 on that but it is very individual. But it would be good to find out your BP. Basically, anything below 120 indicates adrenal weakness. Anything below 90 indicates severe adrenal weakness.
But it is possible that it has nothing to do with your body and is more mental thing.
-
just wondering, what is your resting Heart Pressure, do you know? Often people struggling to get up have weakened adrenal glands and a low systolic BP is a good indication of this.

You probably have mild intollerance to lactose or casein or maybe something else in the milk. This is causing a lot of irritation and intestinal spasms -> hence the diarrhoea. It is very common problem these days with all the pasteurised milk. Probably best to replace it by plant milk so that you don't end up with leaky gut or IBD/IBS due to constant irritation.
Also make sure to replace electrolytes if the diarrhoea is particularly heavy. Things like celery & carrot juice are good or there are electrolyte drinks available.

Diarrhoea would be more of an intestinal reaction. Where in the body do you feel the discomfort?

It's obvious that this "wealth" is not giving this person much pleasure. If it did, they would not feel a need to brag about it online. Clearly they are missing a deeper spark in life that no amount of materialism can fill in. This person needs a hug, a lot of love and compassion.
These people are not really buying the stuff for itself but for the excitement they feel when they get it... this is the "life experience" they talk about. I get that feeling every time I walk into a bookstore and get a new book, that feeling is equal to getting a new laptop or camera in my opinion, the later just lasts a bit longer.
Imaging you can work yourself up to turquoise and live this 100% of time. That's what we are trying to achieve here and that's what will probably remain hidden from this poor soul.

Driving books are redundant and overfilled with garbage, they could easily make it 1/3 of what it is now..at least in my country.
Find someone on youtube who does free drive-guide videos, there's gotta be thousands of vids out there going through all the basics, signs, crossroads .... also I found quite helpful to do all the tests and redo them until you get 100% scores. You can also find those online.
that being said, you may need to work on your concentration if you are about to become a driver or you'll end up dead or in jail if you fall asleep or enter the fairytale land during long driving journey.

7 hours ago, CroMagna said:Any tips of finding work from home quickly, ideally as a data entry operator?
if you want some tangible tips:
* set up a linkedin profile (you can also look for part time jobs) with decent picture and organised page. You may try paying the premium
* try also other job sites like Monster or Hays
* construct a decent CV and covering letter
* look for positions like admin assistant, admin support, coordinator, data logging etc. Linkedin is good for keywords.Most companies will not want you to work from home all the time but some small businesses may. You could also try something like working in library, a night security somewhere where its safe like one of the corporate buildings.
All this sounds very low-concious and it probably is but it might be some starting point before you figure out how to do something more meaninglful.

How about Europe? I find that the door in most of our countries are more open than the tough immigration policies of US. Perhaps not UK with this Brexit madness anymore but Germany or Scandinavian countries are worth investigating.

wonder if Leo is reading this and sniggering while munching on a steak

Hope it will get better soon. All the best !

@Charlotte Ah, I see. Yes a strain most likely potentially damage to either tendon or a muscle, sort of a microtear that would take longer to heal. If you are saying that it's been nearly 3 weeks and the pain hasn't even decreased than it might be worthy for you to get x-ray and examine the local area for any more severe damage.
-
If it is just a strain, there is no need to see a specialist. A tendon pulled beyond its natural range can heal itself naturally unless there is a tear of muscle which would take much longer.
Make sure you don't put too much stress to it for at least a week. The area will probably be quite painful due to the local inflammation but that's a good thing so let the body do what it has to, it always knows what it is doing. In the meantime, maybe focus on the upper body instead
Is there any subcutaneous bleeding (dark discolouration in the pulled area)?
-
Whatever you decide to do you need to realise that there is no escaping pain, hard work and a lot of very repetitive and boring manual labour. How do you think all great businesses were created? In a jacuzzi on the top of Manhattan's tallest building? ...err, nope in a shitty garage or cellar somewhere by coding for hours and hours, meeting people who laugh at you and give you the middle finger, being kicked into the butt by every investor and being mocked by friends, ridiculed by everybody around.
If you really want to master the Computer Science, you may need to get the education. I don't know anything about this subject but from the experience of following my LP, you don't always have to go down the 5 year university path, these days there are 2-3 shorter courses that include things like weekend lectures or flexible attendance. They still include a lot of academical crap but not as heavy. Do your research and see what the options are.
Or you can become a self learner. You are young and probably have some free time to spare. Surround yourself with books and devote your life to this thing. Read hundreds of books from different authors
Visualise every day for 10 minutes and try to see your future self. What is he doing? How did he do it? What were the obstacles? ...
Most of all don't become overly keen to find an immediate solution. Let it sit for a while and perhaps at some point you will get a new idea or a tip from someone. Carry a notebook and pen because your mind may come with a brilliant idea when you stand on the bus and if you forget about it, it may never come back.

@PhilGR your body will produce amino acids by breaking down the ingested proteins from plants and animals in stomach and small intestines. There are 9 that we cannot produce (essential amino acids) but those are easy to get from the food we eat although you want to keep Methionine as low as possible. If your goal is to build muscle, just look up some higher sources of protein in foods like nuts, seeds, beans or animal sources if you prefer. I'd keep the protein powders as a last resort.
Generally your body will do everything within its power to avoid using amino acids for energy so they will only come after you've burned through your blood sugar, glycogen, and fat stores. So it makes more sense to up on natural sources of carbohydrates and fill your glycogen stores...for optimal performance that would be fruits. As a swimmer, doing something like banana/berry smoothie with some fats from flaxseeds or nuts to slow down the digestion might work nicely for you. Fruits also contain naturally occurring enzymes to help with your digestion as do most fresh vegetables. Unless your pancreatic function is compromised, you wanna stay away from supplementing digestive enzymes./

@PhilGR not a fan of mineral supplements at all but that is just one person's opinion, not a scientific fact. Make your research around this topic. If you think your diet is insufficient in any, create a profile on cronometer.com and track your meals for couple days. The chart will show you what you are lacking beautifuly and it allows you to adjust individual numbers. I'd do this before taking in something in a caps.
Do you have any symptoms that could be attributed to lack of minerals?
-
Yes, it is possible that your kidneys will genetically be weakened and more prone to calculi formation perhaps due to renal pelvis being thinner just generally compromised nephron function.
Few tips that may perhaps help you. Not an expert here so take this information with a healthy dose of scepticism:
* You may want to stay away from high protein diets and concentrated protein supplements. These trigger urea formation and can be a cause of renal stones as well as gout flare-ups.
* make sure you are always well hydrated to ensure a steady flow of fluids and no sedimentation
* stay away from calcium supplements and preferably get your calcium from plant sources.
* look into high-oxalate foods as these seem to contribute to oxalate stones and maybe don't overeat on them
* consume a lot of fruits as these promote renal filtration -
Consider reading the Spiral Dynamics book. Lots of information in there to help you categorise yourself.

There are herbal supplements that could work great on the brain such as Gingko, Gotu Kola, Hawthorn Berry, Rhodiola Root or White Oak Bark. All these promote circulation especially the upper circulation. Can be taken as tinctures or capsules but make sure to check reviews before buying caps.
For improved overall endurance and muscular performance stuff like maca or matcha. Also beet juice has been shown to improve effectiveness of cardiac muscle when taken before endurance training so perhaps try blending couple beets in a pre workout smoothie along with bananas, berries etc..this is the true pre-workout not the crap in supplement stores.
The ideal place to get your trace minerals from is food because supplementing on single minerals may create a state of hyperdosing and cause you a lot of trouble especially with things like calcium that will stone you up like a tree bark.

I have been in similar situation for past years. I stopped socialising much because I got sick with the type of socialisation I was doing which was basically drinking, talking about complete shit, wasting time and eating junk food. There is definitely beauty in solitude especially for an introvert but I am finding that my social skills have suffered greatly as well.
There are so many social meeting groups and pretty much any topic you are interested in, there are talks being held or meetups being organised. It is a sort of push-strategy but many people go there with the same feeling. And if you hate it, you leave. ...at least this is how I've been pushing myself to socialise lately.... that and by joining Toastmasters some time ago. That, I would also recommend to you to consider for boosting your social skills in extremely friendly environment.

On 04/07/2018 at 8:30 PM, Siim Land said:The carnivore diet is a full blown elimination diet that removes all the potential allergens and foods that may cause inflammation in the gut. That's why so many people are seeing great results from it - they're not causing gastrointestinal stress which allows their intestinal walls to actually heal themselves. Meat is very well digested and causes little to no waste byproducts if you're eating only meat with no fiber etc. It's not the meat particularly that heals but the ability of the cells to self-selectively start to heal themselves in a state of low inflammation. The effects on depression and cognitive functioning are direct as the person won't have undigested food particles floating into the bloodstream and inflaming the brain.
Great response, this is it ! Same that's happening to Vegetable Police. An undiagnosed ongoing gut issue like SIBO or leaky gut causing direct igE reaction to the eaten food. Nothing changes unless these people address the underlying issue..gojiman made a great video about this topic.

Well unless you want to be a hermit in a cave somewhere in the mountains (and hoping nobody finds out) you'll need to figure out a way to pay your bills. Do your interests extend beyond your own being and comfort? Is there any drive within you to help other people or animals or the planet?
If not, your only option may be to go somewhere where you can trade of work for solitude and meditation time , a temple of some sort in South-East Asia or China and take a vow of silence?
-
Yes but make sure both of you do it at the same time.

8 hours ago, JohnIsDoe said:1) I am her first real bf, and I don't want to hurt or even traumatize her. She is already insecure when it comes to her sexuality and how good of a gf she is.
I once told her that I "tried" to get nudes from two girls (again different girls), and even though it was just a playful joke between the girls and I, my gf was still really hurt to the point of tears:(
While it is natural for us to have desires and urges that often lead us to do things we later regret, perhaps you should split up with this girl. Since it seems you have no problem finding a one night stand maybe do that for some time until you feel like you've had enough of "adventure" and are ready to get into a serious relationship.
If your girlfriend is as sensitive as you say, it is only a matter of time before she finds out. Cheating is like doing gymnastics on a thin ice, eventually, you will fall through....If you need to bang other girls, by all means, do that but don't get committed to someone who will get traumatised and will likely blame themselves down the road as "not being good enough".
If you consider yourself a conscious and open person, you will break up with her to spare her all the pain if she finds out.

Yeah, I guess its a mental thing most of all. You may find book "war of art" quite interesting. It talks about all the resistance faced by people with strong life purpose and ambitions. I believe it has been reviewed in the Books section on this forum couple times as well.
