I'm looking to enhance my gut microflora. To do so, I avoid eating foods with added preservatives (e.g., sulfites) that I’ve read can kill off helpful microbes. On that basis, should I not eat foods with citric acid added? If yes, is it harmful to my gut flora to consume citric acid in cooked foods?...

First off I’m really sorry this is happening to you. I know first hand how it feels when doctors cannot help you and keep coming up short on cures. You’ve been trying the same experiment over and over and failing. Maybe you’re wasting your time. In my case I finally found that special doctor who we...

One issue: are you a Caucasian man who has only ever lived in the US? If you have travelled (a lot) or lived abroad (for some time), I would consider talking to doctors from the area(s) where you have lived, or to tropical disease doctors in the US. If you are not a Caucasian, you might consider sp...

I'd encourage you to check out this interview which discusses how trauma fuels disease: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AEpD2o6MZOk Gabor Mate talks a lot about autoimmune diseases in particular and how western medical treatments are ineffective in treating those. His interview with Mayam Bialik is...

This article is a bit abstract. Can you suggest what you're thinking I should do? What should I subtract out of my rehab strategy?

I’m running into challenges around my medical matters to the point where I’m giving up on seeking treatment through the US medical system and would welcome some advice on what to do next. I’m 55 and potentially have an autoimmune disorder with symptoms going in all directions (joints, fascia, circul...

I need to store the following bicycles off the floor in my small city condo with high ceilings: adult man's road bike, adult woman's road bike, young girl's hybrid bike, woman's folding bike, large Burley bike trailer. The girls/women's bikes all lack crossbars which is limiting storage options. Wha...

Hi everyone,

I am seeing a lot more of these around town since covid. Most are electric assist.

While I like the electric bike concept, one child is 150 pounds and the other is 68 pounds.
Also, both kiddos have been clear they don't like dad's bike-based lifestyle.

Hi everybody, I’m seeking access to a reliable automobile for the next few years. My situation is unusual and I’m so I’m asking for advice. The car would solely be for the purpose of shuttling my kids around to sports and community activities. I expect to be a long-term work-at-home person, live in ...

Also, I'm sure many of them have one-off (more expensive) payments as opposed to subscriptions, but you can also look into the cancel policy. Sometimes it turns out cheaper to sign up for a subscription and then just cancel, you just have to be clear about their policies and possible fees around th...

Isn't it possible for the applicant to get a paper from Law enforcement stating his criminal background(or absence thereof)?

My state restricts access to Criminal Offender Record Information to police in the course of an investigation. So, no I can't.

You mentioned up thread that your degree is in English. Whatever you do, avoid getting desperate, ignoring red flags, and getting into an undesirable next situation. Do you have any family, current work, or alumni association connections that can help? That is all good advice. I'm working on buildi...

Have any of you ever looked up someone using an online background criminal check service like Instant Checkmate? How well do they work? Are there services like that out where I can just buy one or two searches without a self-renewing subscription?

Honestly dude, I don’t know anymore. I think the best bet is just to have an in demand skill and put a bunch of relevant key words in your Linked In bio. Your bio needs to be in the top 20%. Then wait for recruiters to reach out to YOU. What did you major in? How do I measure the "top 20%"...

What is your end game (i.e., apply for x number of jobs to maintain benefits/keep someone off your back; get a job, be it survival until someone better comes along or something as permanent as things can be these days)? I'd like something permanent with advancement possibilities. However, my curren...

Hi everyone, I have a question regarding the fastest way to apply for a job. I see 2 ways to do this: 1. Apply via LinkedIn or Indeed. You can just do a cover letter and/or resume and see if there is interest from the employer. This is quick. 2. Apply via the employer's website. This can involve a l...

Can anyone recommend a brand of donut pan that doesn't have a chemical nonstick surface (e.g., no silicone or teflon)?

Sur La Table is having a huge sale. I like all-clad stuff but I think they have the Nordic Ware stuff on clearance. I found . this on Sur La Table: https://www.surlatable.com/11-glass-loaf-dish/5517057.html?mrkgcl=890&mrkgadid=3250782026&affsrcid=AFF0005&utm_source=Google&utm_medium...
