It happened (in a matter of days) some three years ago, and the road to a full recovery was... Has been a long one. I wrote about it on Medium and might repost it here or something. 😊
I think this is super important and I'm glad you wrote about it.
WHEN THINGS DO NOT WORK, the first thing you gotta do is look at the systems. What are we eating and drinking? How much sleep? How much sunlight? Stress levels?
Your body gives you great data. The "standard American" response to EVERYTHING is "take a pill."
Well... you can. You can also take a pill for high blood pressure. Or, figure out why you have high blood pressure. Because whenever we take a drug to fix a problem, we create one elsewhere. Like the car with the engine light on- you can get a computer and clear the code but the problem is still active.
Yeah, I'm shameless when writing, so I'm willing to dive right in there!
But you're exactly right, we gotta look at the systems and be more holistic about it. More sunlight! I love that suggestion. How many humans are mouldering in a dark cave, either working from home, or playing endless video games, or Netflixing their lives away right now?
It's so so so important. Like the frog boiling in the water, most people don't know how ill they are.
As a person who spends around 2 hours a day outside, in the Jan/Feb months when I have to cover my body to stay warm, I notice a considerable difference re: Vitamin D levels and how it affects every part of my being.
Sunlight is healing.
The Earth also has anti inflammatory properties so... it might sound a little ridic but, if you work out outside, maybe lie in the grass/dirt when you're done. You'll instantly feel calm... and you're gonna shower anyway, so who cares.
There's a reason we used to say "throw some dirt on it" for injuries.
Grounding is a thing. In the industrial sector I work in, we have cathodic protection, grounding strips, and isolation to avoid accidental electrical charge, and we worry about dissimilar metals corroding, all due to electric charges. People are just as vulnerable to the effects of electric charge as some dumb old pipe or machine, but somehow, we think it's bullshit? No, it's real.
i'd say it's crazy how the SAD affects our health, but it simply makes sense every single aspect of it directly affects different organs, as well as our mental health...
also a weird fun fact, but Viagra is one of the most popular counterfeit drugs (meaning fake). in the UK there was more than £50M worth of fake viagra seized in 5 yrs even though it is an over the counter drug...
I can see why drug counterfeiters would pick on Viagra buyers. That drug is expensive, and men want it bad! But they usually feel embarrassed and may not want to talk to their doctor, so they buy some from wherever they can get it. It's a perfect setup for fake pills.
Great text. Before you diagnose yourself with some severe condition in this circumstance try to get some sleep and have a proper meal. Sometimes this medicine makes miracles. At the moment, do not make a big deal out if it. So what? It happens to everyone from time to time. EVERYONE. Also, there are many more methods to make the intercourse enjoyable for your other half. It is not your only tool. And if you succesfully let it go and get yourself working in some other ways, sometimes you will be surprised that the strength miraculously returns.
'Eat the wrong foods, and you get insulin resistance. That leads to all the bad things.'
The type of diet we practice really plays such an integral role in our health and quality of life.
Good, informative points, Tim.
Thanks for the comment! Our diet is so important
