Terrific post! I started eating eggs daily and drinking coffee. Not sure why the equator changes my bodily desires, but it makes me feel good. I eat/drink neither of these in the States. I think its 5G/EMF that is even more associated with sudden hair loss. I have enough hair, but its growing more lately too. I also increased salt intake, began meditation practice again, and doing deep grounded stretching, so who knows what exactly it is, but the good life is good.

I have been using more salt. I had cut it out with leg swelling, but too low salt can also cause leg swelling..... so confusing to be not well

Interesting. This is a new perspective. So far, most theories about coffee and hair loss revolved around caffeine allegedly being dihydrotestosterone blocker.

Gastroparesis seems to be a very common diagnosis as of late. I had never heard of it pre 2021. The cases I know personally were told it is a "post viral" condition. One was subsequently diagnosed with glioblastoma and died at 25 (I know he had 3 shots). One is currently in hospital getting an ostotomy. I don't know the status of the others. Keep your digestive tract moving!!!

That is sad and would be a direct side effect of cholinergic dysfunction.

I had to add nicotine lozenges in 2021 because passive exposure colitis was not stopping. Daily diarrhea for 4 weeks before someone told me about Dr Tau Braun talking about nicotine for spike.

*within just a day or two of starting the nicotine, the colitis started getting better.

Instead of restoring function for patients, they are chopping out bowel and destroying function.

This post made my head spin, but it looks like you are on to something! Please continue to report on your quest to have a nice day. It is more suspenseful than a Stephen King story!

It made my head spin a little too. I need to try to summarize my summary.
