Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
It’s absolutely awful. I one last year because they thought my appendix could be cancer. It wasn’t just very large, the doctor really thought I had it. I don’t plan on having another unless it’s a life or death situation. Just think about the people that do coffee enema’s once a month.
Don't do it. Feeling good? Everything working? If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
The medical industrial complex is an entire industry looking to get everyone hooked in using fear. If they don't initially find something wrong, they'll keep looking until they do. Like the whole cholesterol scam... and Alzheimer's.
Your body is 100% going to die. Whether you let them torture you or not until your last day is up to you. But you should be eating correctly and doing what you're supposed to if you're not going to follow their protocols...
There's no such thing as anyone "beating" or "surviving" what they call the "big C". First if all EVERYONE has it naturally - the degree to which you do varies. Second, anyone who magically "survives" it, did so because it was really an infection, not actually C... and it ALWAYS comes back sooner or later after they've tortured the living shit out of you and sucked out your life savings. Don't ask how I know...
Yeah so anyway, I don't want to sound uncaring - quite the opposite. The machine can go fuck itself. Stay out of my ass. The day of my death is only known by God, and short of suicide, there's nothing that anyone can do to extend that date. Like a cop looking for something to write you up for, these bastards lie, cheat and are primarily looking to get their pound of flesh out of you $$$...they prey on fear. If you believe you're nothing more than your body and mind, they've got you...
I'd cancel... because recent studies have shown, there's no correlation between a colonoscopy and C. It's a farce they got everyone to buy into... Best wishes to you my friend. I'm on your side. Just being the friend that makes you think twice before they run a racket on your ass... literally.
I appreciate your input, always.
I have unexplained iron deficiency so they are ruling out colon and stomach bleeding. Not all medical procedures are bunk.
What pissed me off was the doc shilling me on getting surgery to fix my GERD. Which I take an proton pump inhibitor for (which i don't want to be on one since those are trash and fuck with your absorption of nutrients and break down of food.)
Is GERD sign of not enough stomach acid?

I've heard that theory but I don't know what's true or not true anymore since the medical industrial complex is so corrupt
Research keto and carnivore diet. I was born in 67 and never heard of anyone having gluten allergies, GERD, nut allergies or anything else affected by diet. It’s got to be something in the food. I had IBS since 1993. I’m eating carnivore now and that’s straightened itself out. I was also having gluten intolerance when I ate certain processed breads. I still eat non carnivore occasionally. Going off the plan has taught me what was irritating my system.
I tried carnivore, it felt great stomach wise and i had so much energy, almost too much energy that I couldn't sleep at night, that was one of the main reasons I stopped it. How do you mange it?
FYI - a quick little trick to relieve acid reflux: chocolate Hagen Daz ice cream... only a couple teaspoons. Because it's processed with alkali, it quickly neutralizes the acid. It's not a cure per se... but if you're in agony, I highly recommend trying it. It works straight away. MUST be chocolate Hagen daz... nothing else is the same.
Yes...they have their uses/remedies that work, but most don't realize their success rate is only around 10% unless you're talking orthopedics/fixing bones etc.
Hope you get to the bottom of it! (The condition not the ice cream container) 😁

yeah, the surgery to fix GERD is a NO GO for me. They can introduce more problems. No thanks.!!!
