It's hard to say but maybe I feel a bit calmer since I started taking magnesium a few days ago. I looked back at this journal from early last year and I wrote then that magnesium seemed to have settled my restless leg syndrome. I didn't actually have restless leg syndrome, and never have had it, but maybe I felt a bit calmer then too. I barely took ( Read more... )

I looked back through my journal to find the night early last year when I stood out in my garden, topless, in 12c. The cold breeze felt warm, like a tropical breeze. This hasn't been repeated since. I eventually found it, in March. I looked at my notes from that time and saw that I was taking magnesium, not I think for more than two or three months ( Read more... )

I asked ChatGPT what supplements are good for leaky gut, it came back with a list, all of which, including the zinc carnosine I had delivered the other day, I'm already taking (collagen, in chicken stock and supplements in my case, and L-Glutamine) but it also included Quercetin. It could be in my imagination, the placebo effect, but when I take it ( Read more... )

I remember when I started getting into cold showers seeing a YouTube video where a cold water instructor had his heartbeat monitored when he got into a cold plunge, it dropped to resting rate quickly. Mine's like that now, maybe not at this temperature but at 7c anyway.

I found the uncensored version, it's very grim. I feel like I have to watch the whole thing again now. 'ZDF info' is a German v channel, it's typical that they'd show the whole series uncut, hopefully after the watershed.

I've been taking zinc as one of my supplements, but it looks like I should have specifically been taking zinc carnosine. The L-Carnosine slows the absorption of the zinc in the digestive tract.

I didn't drink last night, I think I was right and I've been drinking because I don't have anything to do. I wish I'd realised this much earlier, the foul hangovers I could have avoided. I can't describe how bad they were, I could do nothing apart from lie down and snooze all day, until the feeling of acute sickness passed. I'd been thinking of ( Read more... )

My blood test came back fine, everything in the normal range apart from the expected high LDL. My kidneys are fine apparently as well. It seems likely to me that my frequent urination and nocturnia are caused by my bloated belly pressing on my bladder, my belly being probably a symptom of an auto-immune disorder caused by leaky gut. Hopefully ( Read more... )

I'm thinking now that I've been drinking because I don't have anything to do. It's ridiculous, if everyone who was in watching tv on a Saturday night drank there'd be a whole lot more alcoholics about. I didn't get any cans tonight even though tomorrow's a bank holiday. Instead of cans I had my coldest plunge yet - 6.1c, way to celebrate! It wasn't ( Read more... )
