avoid cilantro if you have mercury; it is a powerful chelator, but the half life is unknown so it will continue to move mercury around your body and you will feel the ill effects of redistribution. if you're interested in safe chelation, study the andy cutler method.
this is a pretty ignorant comment. plenty of women know how to gauge height from a number. men lie about their height because they are insecure.
another anecdote, but i was having chronic chest pains and unsure why. it felt to me like some sort of mild infection, and discomfort. typical for me, i reluctantly went to the doctor, they couldn't find anything, and all my tests checked out fine. every few saturdays during the lockdown, myself and my neighbors/close friends would have some mushrooms. one time i was laughing a lot for an extended period of time, like really laughing, and it made me cough up some mucus, and that cleared me instantly of my ongoing chest pain. no doubt that unconventional "treatments" or solutions can help certain ailments, or at the very least, hearing other people's experiences can help when highly, maybe overly, trained professionals may miss the simplicity of a problem.

I was actually able to scroll through and read it rather quickly. I handwrite in all caps, so maybe that has something to do with it?
The idea is that it reminds you that you may be running low on an item before you actually are 'stranded.'
