#Detox for Allergy

[meditating-dog-lover]

I am not going to give myself a hard time

Even if I'm not 100% at my health and body goals I did a lot for myself this year.

I started fasting, went on an anti-inflammatory and low glycemic diet, I eat way less sugar (this is a big one as someone who used to eat a lot of sugar and junk to cope with my emotions), I walk regularly, I stopped drinking a lot of coffee, and now I'm doing pilates.

I am doing other health stuff like taking my supplements, nutrient support, gut health support, allergy shots for my skin, and eventually stress relief. But I've done a lot of the basic stuff mostly surrounding diet because it is such a big one and I've always struggled with my diet and even my weight.

This is one health goal I want to keep consistent. I would way rather have some eczema than have a poor diet and metabolic disease.

This book right here is not only life changing for the better… it is life extending and even life saving in some cases. I’m so grateful my integrative MD recommended it to me. (I’m more than half way through in 3 days.) She runs a cancer center in a major hospital in the Bay Area helping people address the causes of their diseases with science-based natural medicine.

I consider this book a preventative for most people, but for some it may lead to that “miracle” they’ve been praying for. It not only helps understand the causes of many “incurable” diseases and chronic undesirable conditions increasing in recent years, but also how to eliminate them in as little as 2 weeks. The full protocol spelled out in the book is 9 weeks. If you don’t care for all the science you can skip those parts and simply implement what is suggested. It’s especially helpful for overcoming diabetes, obesity, asthma, allergies, and autoimmunity.

This book has helped me understand why eating healthy and exercising may not be enough for at least 50% of the population. It’s got me considering getting a Master of Science in Integrative Nutrition. This information has been a missing link in my understanding of creating and maintaining health, especially when concerning organic causes. I hope that one day soon the AMA will be more supportive of the findings presented in this book.

Gluten, aspartame, and food allergies, oh my.

I hate that eliminating foods I like is making things better. Haven't I had enough food issues for one life? #eatingdisorders #eatingdisorderrecovery #mentalhealth #detox

Four weeks ago, I started an elimination diet to check for food allergies and intolerances. It’s been suggested for years but I’ve been resistant. My eating disorder is fine with it controlling what I eat, but less down with other people’s impositions. I suppose that’s ironic, a structured eating situation unwilling to accept another structured eating situation? Part of it’s control – I…

Astro observations: Health aspects from the 6th house 💫

6th house in Aries: Be mindful of strong reactions, impulses and emotions as these could trigger high blood pressure, stress or unwanted headaches. Possible problems associated with the adrenal glands if health is not good. The person could be nearsighted/farsighted. Teeth issues and sensitive gums are common with this placement. 

6th house in Taurus: Be careful with ‘burnout’ and try to keep a healthy work-life balance. The individual is prone to respiratory conditions, jaw and neck pain/problems, weight gain (associated with thyroid issues). Thyroid disease. Problems with your voice or throat. Take it easy and follow a rhythm that honors your needs. 

6th house in Gemini: Allergies, infections, asthma, cough, breathing issues. Arms, hands and fingers might be sensitive. Anxiety and nervousness caused by too many unorganized/unwanted thoughts. Be careful with hand, arm and/or shoulder injuries. 

6th house in Cancer: Sensitive breasts/chest area. Inflammation associated with water/fluid retention. Pay close attention to your salt and fat consumption. Intolerance to different ingredients. It is vital for individuals with this placement to express their emotions as this can feel like a detox process for a 6th house cancer.

6th house in Leo: Hear what your heart is telling you. Don’t let stress or anger take you 'over the edge'. Similar to Aries in this house, it is common for the native to suffer from high blood pressure if a balanced lifestyle is not followed; a healthy diet will help this native tremendously. Be careful with hernias and your spine. Back pain/injuries. Spend more time outside. 

6th house in Virgo: Food sensitivities. Problems with digestion. Pay attention to sugar, fats, starches and the way your body reacts to them. Pancreatitis. Bloating associated with food intolerances. Meditation is recommended to calm an active mind and a healthy relationship with food will help with digestive issues. 

6th house in Libra: Lumbar pain. Problems with the lower back. Sensitivity to salt. Kidney stones. Insulin resistance. Diabetes. Partnerships have a big influence in your life; stress or strong (negative) emotions resulting from these relationships can have a big impact in your health. 

6th house in Scorpio: Constipation. Bladder/Urinary tract infections. Issues with libido/sex hormones. Cystitis (inflammation of the bladder; can cause pain or/and a burning sensation when peeing). Problems with the colon and elimination systems. Let go of any guilt/shame around your sexuality and keep a healthy relationship with your needs. 

6th house in Sagittarius: Issues associated with the pituitary gland. Hip mobility problems, pain or injuries. Obesity. For optimal liver health, alcohol and stress levels need to be monitored and, if possible, reduced to a minimum. Yoga can help ease stiffness around the hips and thighs. 

6th house in Capricorn: Knee pain. Injuries/procedures can cause significant scarring. Hair loss or scalp issues. Arthritis and joint pain. If your body is telling you to slow down, honor it and rest. Movement in every way is beneficial for the native. Be careful with your bones. 

6th house in Aquarius: Varicose veins. Frequent cramps. Arteries and veins might need to be monitored closely, as the native is prone to circulation problems. Calf pain. Stress, nervousness, anxiety, insomnia. Be careful with addictions. Stay hydrated. 

6th house in Pisces: Problems with the lymphatic system. Feet pain, inflammation, discomfort, injuries. Plantar fasciitis. Be careful with falls. Sleep problems, nightmares. Sadness that can lead into deep depression. Time alone is necessary. Make sure you’re getting the hours of sleep that your body requires to work harmoniously. 

Stay tuned for more! :)

house md christmas episodes ranked with commentary:

s1e5 damned if you do:

overall: 4.5/5

medical case/patient interest/plot twist: 4/5 pretty interesting patient and case plus the copper IUD allergy twist was sooo smart

hilson: 4.5/5 they had christmas dinner together <3

medical malpractice: 2/5. house’s mistakes were rectified by cuddy, minimal antireligious remarks against nuns, no breaking and entering. house prescribed a patient cigarettes.

christmas spirit: 5/5 christmas songs used throughout and a patient was santa. as christmassy as it can get.

s2e9 deception:

overall: 3/5

medical case/patient interest/plot twist: 3/5 interesting concept but the overall twist wasn’t that shocking or interesting and i didn’t really connect with the patient all that much

hilson: 1/5. they have 2 interactions and they’re all cordial but nothing too special.

medical malpractice: 4.5/5 breaking and entering and obvious HIPAA violations. house flirting with lab staff to get what he wants. house falsified blood tests. poor treatment of a suspected mentally ill patient. house drugged a patient outside of hospital grounds with the risk that it could kill her.

christmas spirit: 1/5 just because it’s christmas time and there are decorations and it’s snowing does NOT make it a christmas episode. there is one christmas song at the end but no one says merry christmas. they wasted my TIME.

s3e10 merry little christmas:

overall: 3.5/5

medical case patient interest/plot twist: 4/5 interesting patients and commentary about disabilities and being “normal” and parenting as a disabled person.

hilson: 2/5 tritter arc plus wilson’s betrayal is so… but i love angst. at least they interact this time. wilson refuses to testify against him though. wilson still wants to spend christmas with house “thought you’d prefer people over pills” but house rejects him :( house ODs on oxy and wilson leaves him alone

medical malpractice: 3.5/5 house makes fun of little people. breaking and entering. HIPAA violation plus being rude to a grieving widow but he’s detoxing so i guess it makes sense. house tries to steal oxy from a dead man.

christmas spirit: 4/5 christmas songs used plus lot of decorations plus snow. christmas tree opening and PPTH has a whole nativity scene in the lobby. tritter wishes house a merry christmas.

s4e10 it’s a wonderful lie:

overall: 4/5

medical case patient interest/plot twist: 2/5 didn’t really care but it went along with house’s “everybody lies” philosophy. house performs a christmas miracle yayyy. the twist was cool

hilson: 4/5 “you are so full of love… or something” they’re so :) they interact a lot in this episode. “happy solstice house” :-)

medical malpractice: 3.5/5 why are foreman and taub questioning people?? house and a patient flirt? going through a patient’s computer.

christmas spirit: 4/5 house throws away all the diagnostic room christmas decorations. christmas songs used. secret santa!!! wilson in the reindeer hat!!!!! “you wouldn’t hang dreidels from a christmas tree” “you could”. house singing “god rest ye merry gentlemen”. house had a christmas epiphany!

s5e11 joy to the world:

overall: 3.5/5

medical case patient interest/plot twist: 3.5/5 general patient case isn’t that interesting but the clinic case of virgin conception was CRAZY (even though it was faked by house but whatever)

hilson: 4/5 wilson’s gift and note “greg - made me think of you” and an antique medical book?? that is sooo cute. also the way that wilson lied about a girl giving house the original gift because he was probably embarrassed to admit it was his but then he admitted it hehehe. house didn’t even open the original present.

medical malpractice: 2/5 shockingly minimal but house did fake a patient’s test results just to win a bet with wilson. cuddy does breaking and entering.

christmas spirit: 4/5 christmas music used. house says merry christmas. i mean it’s christmassy but not like that christmassy.

The importance of separating belief from practice from economy when criticizing spirituality

I notice that a lot of people who want to criticize harmful expressions of spirituality often conflate the beliefs and practices of those spiritualities together, rather than separating them and asking themselves which one is harmful exactly, and why.

Sometimes, both practice and belief are harmful. For example, going on a highly restrictive detox diet because it will supposedly rid your body of toxins put into regular food by an evil conspiracy. There's no evidence that detox diets actually work as claimed (and if they seem to, it may be that you actually have a food allergy or intolerance, and you feel better because you happen to be cutting out that food for awhile), and they can actually be very harmful. Meanwhile, this sort of conspiratorial worldview has roots in old antisemitic conspiracy theories used to justify violence against Jews in the past, and today, justify queerphobia and ableism by way of suggesting that an evil conspiracy is putting chemicals in our food and water that turn kids gay, transgender, or give them ADHD, autism, or whathveyou.

But other times, it's not quite so simple. For example, let's look at modes of faith healing that hold that you should eschew evidence-based medicine in favor of praying and getting right with God. Meanwhile, studies show that people who rely on faith healing don't exactly have a great recovery rate. Many children have died from treatable diseases because their parents were taught that sickness was a test of faith and God would damn them for seeking conventional medicine. (Can you even imagine how terrified of eternal damnation you'd have to be in order to watch your own child die in agony?)

If we look at most people who believe in prayer, we can see that most of them don't agree with this extreme position. Most people believe in prayer and evidence-based medicine. If anything, prayer gives many people a way to feel like they aren't just sitting around doing nothing while their loved ones are in the hospital, and that itself is arguably beneficial.

Now, if you personally have trauma connected to prayer, or just don't find any meaning or satisfaction in prayer, then it's fine if you don't want to do it. But that doesn't mean it's appropriate to tell everyone else that they shouldn't do it. When you do this, you're just using your own personal feelings as a moral compass, and as we know from observing the "thinking about gay sex grosses me out, therefore it's unnatural and against God's will" crowd, that's no way to go.

So how about beliefs and practices used to extort people? For example, energy healing services often come with steep price tags. But let's be real, so does evidence-based medicine in places like the US. This clearly does not mean people should just stop seeking evidence-based medicine. It does means that we drastically need to change the system, so healthcare is more accessible. Additionally, if there's one thing I've learned from researching alternative medicine, it's that practitioners are more likely to actually offer something for patients' complains, rather than telling them that it's all in their heads or that they need to lose weight. This doesn't mean that an exploitative alternative industry should be allowed to exist, of course. But it does mean that we need to understand how prejudice among doctors fuels it. Moreover, I think we can agree that someone who watches energy healing videos on free YouTube after they've done all they can from an evidence-based medicine standpoint, or offers free energy healing sessions to friends who are in the same boat, are not in the same category as scam victims and scammers.

So yeah, when you're out there criticizing harmful forms of spirituality and religion, remember to separate practice from belief from economy and examine each one separately and in terms of how they connect to each other and to larger issues, rather than putting it all on blast together.

in slumps of every kind 😞

actually wait my art has lowkey been sick recently

speaking of sickness my allergies are KICKING MY ASS

experimenting with wearing side bangs :3

sleeping 24/7

[needaplacetoreblogp0rn]

do you have an an actual Nut allergy or a nut(cum) allergy?

cause i know that the uuuh. i forget if its a protein or an enzyme or something but the thing in nuts that gives people a nut allergy doesnt break down in the body and is present in cum after eating nuts. so if you are just allergic to nuts in general you could probably just instruct your sex partner to not eat any for however long it takes for it to like. detox. and then you can continue to swallow fat loads or w/e without dying about it

if you are just straight up allergic to cum tho then. nvm. i am sorry for your loss

Nah it’s not actual nuts. Like I eat peanuts and cashews and almonds and shit all the time. But semen hurts on the skin and almost makes me die to crazy frog when ingested. It’s horrible and awful because breeding kinks go brrrr, but it’s really funny to call it my nut allergy in conversation lol

[meditating-dog-lover]

Yay

My DIM supplement arrived.

[madamlaydebug]

🌿Nettle:: The herb's diuretic action also flushes excess uric acid from muscles and joints, helping to relieve arthritic pain and inflammations. Also in its role as an anti-inflammatory, nettle tea is effective in treating the symptoms of itchy, watery eyes, runny nose and sneezing common in allergy season.

🌿::Nettle tea is a powerful detox drink due to its diuretic properties and its ability to flush out toxins from the body. Drinking a cup of nettle tea can increase nutrients and optimize metabolism, thus helping in weight loss.

🌿::Acting as a diuretic, nettle herbal teaeliminates sodium from your body. It also decreases sugar levels in the blood. ... If you have intestinal disorders, nettle tea is recommended. It also helps with cases of dysentery, diarrhea, hemorrhoids and it is goodfor aiding the treatment of liver, bile and spleen diseases.

ok this is so tmi and i apologize but we're all friends here so help me out plz.

what remedies do you guys have for a detox that's like allergies? i feel like the mucinex monster, my allergies are so bad and i feel so full of snot. i've taken everything, went to the doctor, and now i just feel like my blood is actually slime. plz help.

[suzieb-fit]

Here goes another "detox day one", lol.

Today started a little better. I think the biggest "antagonist" was likely eggs. I cut them out when I got the allergy results.

Egg whites was the only thing high on both the allergy AND intolerance results.

It kicked in quite hard after breakfast, but it usually hits earlier than that.

Have to get the milk reaction out of my system now.

Got up and out for a lovely little morning walk. That half hour first thing from getting out of bed does me so much good.

New breakfast idea. Got a bit fancy with the few ingredients I have, that I'm still allowed to eat.

Chia seed protein powder, plus actual chia seeds, cacao powder, coconut "flour", mixed with olive oil. Apple, cinnamon and walnuts. Liquorice root.

I usually just have the apple and a bigger portion of nuts, but I felt like trying something a bit unusual.

Black coffee blended with more olive oil, collagen peptide powder and inulin.

Feels good to have breakfast outside. Autumn is almost here, but I'm going to enjoy the remains of good weather for as long as I can.

I got into sme fabulous weight training before lunch.

Upper body today.

Chest press, wide grip rows, bench pullovers and seated shoulder press.

I'm refocusing on strength. But still staying away from bicep work. Need to try keep the bulk to a minimum!

I ended with a brief "sprint interval". I'm researching different things, and this is the latest one to take my notice.

Just a few minutes of all-out effort to finish a strength session.

I'm all about Stacy Sims right now. Her tag line is "women are not little men". And sprint intervals are her recommendation for menopausal chicks like me.

I've been listening to podcasts with her over the last couple of weeks. Love her ethos!

And I started her book last night.

I'm on it, Stacy! New focus - Get strong. Get hormonally healthy. Get back to my best!

I used plank jacks for that "finisher" today.

Five fast intervals, longer rest intervals between. Oof. Yeah.

The end of that little vid? That's how full effort intervals are supposed to hit you!

Feel great! Definitely appreciated a nice coffee (insrsnt with oatmilk) and a bit of a chill before making lunch.

And it was a good lunch, of course.

Chicken and avocado salad with grapes.

Fresh ginger, paprika and turmeric.

Herbs and spices are so good for us. Full of beneficial polyphenols. And they taste great!

Another lovely walk. Longer this time. Forest trails with the boss-man 😊

Today has been pretty good all round.

If the combination of intolerances and allergens were the cause of the mucus problem, it's no doubt going to take a while for everything to clear out of my very clogged up system! Have to remain optimistic.

Good day for an average fast, food and fitness. Feel better than I have in quite a while!
