Eat your vegetables.

Lightly steamed broccoli every night. Thanks bro!

>>130951

No, I mean eat vegetables. A lot.

You're not giving much info to work with OP, hard to give good advice. Stop smoking if you do, move somewhere with cleaner air if you're in a city. Drink more water.

>>130952

Eat your veggies, OP! Eat them raw, preferably.

Seriously though, look into distilled water (and I'm not just talking about the top Jewgle search results, do some damn research on it). It's a lifesaver.

>Eat your vegetables.

Eat which vegetables? This advice is almost as meaningless and useless as saying “Breath your gases.”, “Drink your liquids.”, or “Eat your foods.” “Vegetables” could mean almost any plant material—usually but not universally excluding fruits—but is often inclusive enough to mean even weeds in the backyard. We aren’t goats. “Eat your vegetables.” isn’t real advice, because it basically reduces to whatever meme plant comes to mind that his culture and upbringing associates with health. But he’s already shown he has problems and needs help, so there’s reason to believe his common sense is inadequate.

>Lightly steamed broccoli every night.

Broccoli can be tricky to digest, and seeing as how humans do not rely on lower intestinal fermentation of plant matter as gorillas (We evolved beyond it.) and no longer have the intestinal equipment to do so on their level, constantly ingesting barely cooked, difficult to digest plant matter is a recipe for illness from endotoxin and small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO). Humans are meant to use the power of our enormous small intestines to digest well cooked, densely nutritious foods or juices with certain kinds of fiber in moderation. Light cooking or raw is best saved for tropical fruits/fruit juices low in starch and sometimes meat (depending on context). Blindly eating anything and everything under the meaningless category of “vegetables” is against all instinct and evolutionary inertia.

>No, I mean eat vegetables. A lot.

I see what you mean. If a blind man has a problem running into traffic, he should cross roads. A lot.

>Eat your veggies, OP! Eat them raw, preferably.

The more raw random plant matter ingested, the more likely something will feed malicious bacteria and further the state of illness with increased endotoxin.

It is attested by many experiments that flu-like symptoms can be caused by endotoxin. (Loh et al, 2006. Sayk et al, 2008. Korsgren et al, 2011.) When it is considered how common dysfunctional diets are, the common cold and many flus may be potentially considered as chronic low grade endotoxemia more often than not. Even the yearly winter flu may frequently be caused by this one thing, as UV light plays a role in taming microbes. (Schrier et al, 2009.)

It is established that cooking inhibits the hydrolysis of glucosinolates present in broccoli that would occur during digestion (Rungapamestry et al, 2007.) and lowers glucosinolate content (Jones et al, 2010.) while also improving the bile acid binding of the broccoli. (Kahlon et al, 2008.) It has been found that broccoli fiber and glucosinolates (Lai et al, 2009.) feeds lactic acid producing bacteria in the cecum (Butts et al, 2010.) and that broccoli alters both the composition and metabolism of cecal microbiota and colon morphology. (Paturi et al, 2012.) But bile acids reduce bacterial overgrowth, bacterial translocation, and endotoxemia (Lorenzo-Zuniga2003.) So it can be concluded that the longer and more thorough the cooking the less food for lactobacilli in the cecum/colon and the less lactic acid produced and the smaller the potential endotoxin burden.

Extra lactic acid from gut bacteria may not sound scary, but some species of lactobacillus are d-lactate producers, (Galland 2014.) and d-lactic acid is implicated in memory impairment (Hanstock et al, 2010.) and some forms of chronic fatigure syndrome (Sheedy et al, 2009.) Increased hind-gut fermentation in general has also been associated with mood and anxiety problems. (Hanstock et al, 2003. Hanstock et al, 2004.) Perhaps there is good reason to limit foods that grow large intestinal bacteria no matter how benign if only to limit the amount of complex and chaotic interactions that may occur from feeding the beast.

The point is not to demonize broccoli but to create awareness and dispell with the idea that it is universally good in every context. Could another green plant be better the vast majority of the time? One could imagine that certain kinds of bacteria needs to be present for both the worst and best outcomes. Maybe one has to be in a weakened state to reveal the bad side of broccoli, but even so, the idea that care must be taken in deciding what kind and quantity of food intestinal bacteria will receive could have broad use. There’s actually a lot of research in favor of broccoli—even for endotoxin matters—but if things can go wrong, they will. Though the picture may not be as clear as the surface would suggest if one’s own diet doesn’t match the well controlled diet of lab rats. Other foods can grow bacteria that most research hasn’t accounted for. I imagine wheat and various other starches could be even more problematic if present, especially simultaneously.

Temporarily going fiber free can allow one to starve intestinal bacteria gone wild and give relief from the chronic endotoxin burden. Foods and supplements that can give relief if the problem really does reside in the intestines:

• horseradish (Ho-Won et al, 2013. Conrad et al, 2013.)

• ginger (Park et al, 2008.)

• vinegar (Johnston and Gaas, 2006.)

• 1 tsp of coconut oil on empty stomach (Shilling et al, 2013.)

• a raw, shredded carrot salad including all of the above or at least the coconut oil and vinegar (Although raw and including fiber, carrots have antimicrobial properties.) (Babic et al, 1994)

• vitamin B₂ (riboflavin) (Martins et al, 2008. Schrier et al, 2009.)

>“Eat your foods.”

solids

Now the sequence has consistency with states of matter.

First rule of health is stop poisoning yourself.

Your diet is shit. Whatever dairy, grain, starches, oily processed food, you're indulging in, stop it. Your body is telling you 'Red alert! You fucked up!' Listen to it. Right now, forget about meat too. You need to thin out that mucous and get shit flowing before you fuck it up again.

> Add freshly squeezed lemon juice into hot water, especially mornings, but do throughout day in the beginning. Add honey to taste.

> Eat oranges, grapes, apples, whatever fruit is seasonable at your locale for the first part of day. It digests quick so you'll be eating a lot of it

> Vegetables for lunch and dinner.

> Herbal infused teas also break up stagnant, stuck lymph. Echinacea, spearmint, any of the mints.

> Move for 15 minutes daily, even just walking. Pumps the lymph through the kidneys so it can expel through bladder.

> Drink a gallon of water daily. Piss should be straw yellow to clear colored. Any deeper or other color means you're a fucking retard and should turn it your body privileges to the nearest mortician.

Gud luck and stop being a sickfag.

I've been eating broccoli my whole life and have not have the slightest problem, ever.

Go to the doctor. A long term cough is a very bad sign. At the least you probably have pneumonia. At the worst, cancer.

>>130948

Can't wait until you post your thread about turning blue from all the silver. FYI, that's permanent.

Cut out the stress, it's bad for you.

Oh, BTW, it's allergy season. You are in the US, to get the decongestant that works, it's behind the pharmacy counter. You don't need a prescription, but there are limits on purchase, because people use it to make meth. Ask for the 12-hour sudafed behind the counter. You can buy one box a month. You may need to be 18 or not, but you will definitely need to show ID.

The stuff out on the shelves doesn't work anymore, though they won't tell you that it's no better than placebo.

>>134093

fasting worked just as good as decongestants but without the rebound congestion.

Listen to that angry manlet on youtube and give it a go.

>>134117

> Take a pill? NO! You need to completely upset your life. You need to not eat. All for the sniffles.

>>134119

Fasting when sick is ancient wisdom. Birds do it. Bees do it. Even educated fleas do it.

>>134128

One type of common sickness that kills appetite is endotoxemia, which increases serotonin. Serotonin inhibits appetite while increasing peristalsis probably in order to more quickly expel intestinal irritants or sources of endotoxin. The appetite suppression can be seen as beneficial in that it avoids feeding bacteria that are creating endotoxin or it avoids eating more food that already contains it or some other malicious substance/irritant. If one knows the cause of the illness that suppresses the appetite, it may be wiser to eat anyways but rather something with a germicidal effect such as a raw carrot + vinegar + coconut oil + horseradish. Not only would something like that tame a bacterial overgrowth, but it would probably assist in making the next, relieving bowel movement happen faster by putting more food in the intestines. Eating can both make things worse and speed along recovery.

So was bloodletting and trepanation.

> But bees!

Yeah, don't care about insects.
