What I've healed from

[AstuteShift]

The best sleep I have is after being tired.

Honestly for me, it’s after a heavy climax. In a way it’s like therapy

[Triplethought]

[I noticed that after I recouped which was usually quite fast, I always felt very good. Almost on par with donating blood. When I donate blood it's almost like I have this sense of feeling naturally high, can't fully explain it.

anyway my two cents

Sometimes I beat my head against a brick wall. I notice my head feels much better when I stop.

Giving blood can reduce harmful iron stores
One in every two hundred people in the U.S. is affected by a condition called hemochromatosis and most don’t even know it, according to Patenaude. Hemochromatosis is a disease that causes an iron overload and is labeled as the most common genetic disease among Caucasians by the Mayo Clinic.

A committed blood donor herself, Patenaude recommends donation as a way to reduce the body’s extra iron stores. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the removal of red blood cells by phlebotomy (or donating blood) is the preferred treatment for patients with excess iron in their blood.

3. Giving blood may lower your risk of suffering a heart attack
Donating blood at least once a year could reduce your risk of a heart attack by 88 percent, according to a study conducted by the American Journal of Epidemiology.* This relates to the iron issue again, says Dr. David Dragoo, healthcare expert at Money Crashers.

Dr. Dragoo explains that high levels of iron in the blood constrict your blood vessels and create more risk of a heart attack. Depleting those extra iron deposits by donating blood gives your vessels more room to operate.

4. Giving blood may reduce your risk of developing cancer
In an average, completely healthy person, the link between giving blood and decreased cancer risk is slim. But research does support a reduced risk of cancer for blood donors with different maladies, one of which is hemochromatosis.

Phlebotomy (the process of drawing blood) was found to be an iron-reduction method that is associated with lower cancer risk and mortality, according to a study published by the Journal of the National Cancer Institute. The study focused on patients affected by peripheral arterial disease (PAD), which the Mayo Clinic describes as a common circulatory problem. PAD patients who regularly donated blood had a lower risk of developing cancer than those who did not.

5. Giving blood can help your liver stay healthy
Another danger of iron overload is the health of your liver. “In recent years, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the hepatic expression of metabolic syndrome, has reached epidemic proportions,” reports the National Center for Biotechnology Information.

Research has linked too much iron with NAFLD, Hepatitis C and other liver diseases and infections. Though there are many other factors involved in these problems, donating blood can help relieve some of those iron stores and avoid extra issues in your liver.

6. Giving blood can help your mental state
While there are several physical benefits to donating blood, the most powerful health benefit is arguably in the psychological realm. Donating blood means that someone (or multiple people) somewhere will be getting the help they desperately need.

Donating blood, especially on a regular basis, can be similar to volunteer work. You give of your time (and your literal blood) to help strangers in need. If you go to specific blood donation location each time, you’ll get to know some of the staff who are also dedicating themselves to the cause of saving lives.

This kind of regular, altruistic interaction has major psychological benefits. Getting out of your usual environment to do something good for someone else is stimulating in the best kind of way. Volunteering has been shown to have positive effects on happiness. In people over 65-years-old, volunteering also reduces the risk of depression and loneliness.

Patenaude believes the psychological health benefit you receive from knowing you’re helping others is just as helpful as the physical health benefit. When you roll up your sleeve and sit down in that chair, you know you’re making a difference—and that makes you feel good!

Analyses adjusted only for demographic characteristics showed a 18.6% reduction in mortality per additional annual donation (95% confidence interval [CI], 16.8%-20.4%). After additional adjustment for the internal healthy donor effect, each additional annual donation was associated with a 7.5% decreased mortality risk (95% CI, 5.7%-9.4%).

In regards to the flu, scientific data helps. Inflammatory markers, Liver enzyme tests, etc. There is always a 10 to 20% improvement in the readings after recouping rapidly from a flue (in my case that is)

I discovered that when I went there for Halloween. The single moms escorting the little children were a delight to behold.

yes they are quite delightful, try some of the small or quieter towns you might just be even more surprised. While Naples can't be classified as a small town, it is a very beautiful place to visit and with many delights.

What’s nice about Florida is the plethora of gorgeous Latin women. Also most of them are fitness freaks. I see less fat people here which is refreshing

your blood contains most of your immune system! dont give it away! just my 2c

build your blood. red clover tea. sprouts and microgreens. melons coconut water v similar to blood plasma.

adrenaline euphorias are our bread and butter in modern times, but they are not the fuel that built our bodies and ancestral bloodlines.

that was raw food, water, sunlight, and ground magnetics.

we exhaust the potency of our biological inheritance and leave less vigor for our children with the constant stress and adrenaline highs. and all because were missing purpose and genuine healthy physicality like rigorous exercise and sex.

keep your blood and build it. your children will thank you.

When you say to keep your blood. Are you by any chance stating that donating blood is bad?

When you say to keep your blood. Are you by any chance stating that donating blood is bad?

I am, bad for the donator that is, especially if health-challenged in any way. Of course I see the studies you've referenced. Just throwing in some caution and friendly disagreement. Sometimes blood draws are essential for diagnosis of course.

"When blood is being removed from the body, it is necessary to understand that a portion of the immune system is also being removed. Our blood contains white blood cells that are responsible for keeping the body strong and defending against sickness. When blood is drawn from the body, we lose many of these precious blood cells and are left with a lowered immune system and weakened defense mechanisms.

When an individual is sick with a symptom, condition, or chronic illness, they need their immune system strong. When blood is constantly being drawn for testing, this can potentially weaken the individual and slowly worsen their condition. As their condition worsens, red flags are raised for their healthcare provider and the recommendation may be to draw even more blood to find out why this person is declining. This can develop into a vicious and never-ending cycle for some and become a revolving door of blood removal, leaving the body unable to recoup fast enough. Meanwhile, the very real cause of this person’s chronic illness is getting stronger and stronger.

When blood is drawn, unneeded waste can occur. Systems are set in place to remove certain amounts of blood for each type of test, regardless of the circumstances, and without consideration of what someone’s condition may be, or other variables in their life, including hardships they may be going through, what kind of resources they have, if their diet is providing enough nutrients to keep their immune system strong, or even when their last blood draw occurred. Considerations should be taken about body weight, size, and gender of the individual before blood is drawn.

For example, it is common for the amount of blood drawn from a healthy 200 pound male to be the same as the amount drawn from a 100 pound, chronically ill female, without the consideration that this 100 pound female has less blood and a chronic condition that requires her immune system to be strong. This is one of the greatest mistakes happening in modern medicine."

if you want to boost your testosterone even more. Besides using mumio, you can try a combo of horny goat weed, Siberian ginseng. Mix the the duo with honey

Sol, do you have links to any studies regarding Horny Goat Weed + Siberian Ginseng Combo?

[LoriPrecisely]

I have managed to Cure these diseases in myself:
chronic fatigue, chemical sensitivity, major food sensitivity, bipolar disorder, dissociation/loss of reality, anxiety, panic attacks, fibromyalgia, depression.
If anyone ever wants any advice etc I'm available. Love this community.

@OrangeNinja: yeh, I will definitely be consulting you in the future. The info on the nuances of honey was quite excellent- I've since switched to better brands.

Also started my own "Orange Program" based loosely on your recommendations: I eat at least one orange a day on average.

It is said "an apple a day keeps the doctor away," but I think an orange a day keeps zee Kovid away! As well as the flu and the common cold, etc. Then again, hard to verify objectively as I haven't been sick for several years. Must be that whole immune system thing, as well as optimized "Terrain Theory."

Btw, any recommendations regarding improving sleep? I have a few stacks of supplements and practices for sleep, but always interested in hearing other ways of improving sleep. To me, high quality sleep is perhaps one of the most important "supplements."

Glycine works wonder for restful sleep, as does topical application of magnesium oil.

I will have to look for them. I did not save them. However, there are several studies that show Saw palmetto can help with testosterone indirectly through its role of helping reduce inflammation in the prostate. It definitely helps lower PSA levels. However, if you want a quick fire to boost Testosterone then Mumio also known as Shilajit, combined with Siberian Ginseng and Some zinc is the way to go.
