Just that really. i’ve been on semaglutide through Ozari for a few weeks now and I’m kinda surprised how normal I feel on it. No major side effects so far, just way less food noise and I get full faster, which makes it so much easier to stick to basic stuff like cooking at home, getting some steps in and not destroying the snack cabinet at night 😅…before this I tried doing everything lifestyle only diets, walking, different supplements and it helped a bit but I always bounced back once the willpower wore off. This time I’m using the appetite control from sema with simple habits (more protein, more water, bedtime not at 2am), and it honestly feels a lot more doable. Ozari isn’t the absolute cheapest thing I pay for, but if it keeps helping me actually live the habits I’ve been trying to build, I kinda feel like it might be worth keeping around for a while.

Hello! I’m a researcher at the University of Northern Colorado.  I am part of a research project to learn more about the supplement berberine.  Specifically, who’s using berberine and how that relates to healthcare access. We'd love to hear the alternative medicine communitie's experience with berberine. We are here to learn and not judge. If you'd like to help us, you can take the 5-10 Min survey at the link below. You can take it anytime, anywhere, and it's 100% anonymous. Thank you so much for your time and help!  https://unco.co1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1RE9ujDPac7dWh8 

I am also a very anxious person. Thank you in advance

I have been diagnosed with cancer and would like to augment my traditional therapy with compass, ozone therapy IV vitamin C infusions. Anyone know the best and perhaps least costing place to have this done. Anywhere in the Chicagoland area is fine including all suburbs.

I have been using an alternative medicine doctor outside of Southfield Michigan, but can’t get there because of radiation treatment.

Looking at buying from Oxygen Health Systems but want to know what their support is actually like after the sale. Sales team is responsive now but what happens in 6 months when something breaks?

How hard is it to get help when you need it? Are they decent about warranty stuff or do they try to weasel out?

Trying to avoid buying a $20k chamber from a company that disappears after they get your money.

Colon hydrotherapy sessions can also be beneficial for your digestive system, and don’t cause raging diarrhea the night before. No gross liquids to chug when you’re already nauseous, either. Can be extra helpful for those who already have Crohn’s, IBS, or other digestive issues.

That said, it’s always a good idea to discuss alternative approaches with your GI doctor well before the procedure. Most doctors will not allow alternative prep methods, but some will.

Fermented foods cause bad insomnia, I’m certain about this, I’ve tried it many times, mostly on weekends. Is there any way to bypass this issue? Even vitamins derived from it, like K2 and K9, cause the same problem. Because of this, I can only take vitamin D without K, although that’s generally not recommended. Any help would be appreciated 😉

Lemon water is a paradox for acid reflux — it’s acidic before digestion but has an alkalising effect in the body after digestion. Whether it helps or worsens your reflux depends entirely on your dosha type, the concentration of lemon, and when you drink it. For Vata-type reflux with low digestive fire, diluted warm lemon water in the morning can genuinely help. For Pitta-type reflux with burning and excess heat, lemon water often worsens symptoms — the sour taste directly aggravates Pitta. The dose and timing are everything.

Hey everyone, I’m currently entering the 2nd night in a row of a recurring headache and I’m reaching my limit. It’s peak summer here in the Philippines and the heat is absolutely brutal.

The Timeline:

Last night (The Worst): Intense pulsing vein pressure on the left side of my head, specifically the forehead above my eyebrow.

Medicine failed: I already took two pills last night, but they didn't help with the headache at all. It was like they didn't even touch the pain.

The "Mom" Theory: My mom thought it was acid reflux (runs in the family), so I forced myself to vomit, but only the water I’d just drunk came out.

The Shift: Today the tension shifted to my upper cheekbone on that same left side. The forehead pressure is still there, just not as sharp as last night.

Why I haven't seen a doctor:

This only ever happens when the heat gets this extreme during the summer. Once the season changes, I’m fine, so I know it’s a heat trigger.

What I've Tried:

I soaked my feet in very hot water (fresh from an electric kettle) to draw the tension down. It made me sweat a lot and the pressure lessened enough for me to sleep, but the cycle keeps repeating.

I’m struggling to stay hydrated because cold water seems to trigger my reflux in this heat. Has anyone dealt with this "shifting" head pressure or pulsing sensation? Any natural remedies to break this 2-day cycle when medicine isn't working? TIA! 🙏

I Have had a plethora of debilitating symptoms since 2023 at age 23. It seems I have POTS and EDS though impossible to get a diagnosis. My atlas bone is severely misaligned and I’ve heard that can when corrected heal POTS. Could this be the same in any way for EDS? Even if not relating to the atlas bone? I’ve had seven atlas orthogonal adjustments and they haven’t done much yet, I might feel worse which is interesting as most say it works wonders. I’m going to keep at it, but I’ve also heard of Atlas Profilax doing amazing things, but far more horror stories when compared to Orthognal so I’m apprehensive. Also just stated Reviv mouthguard. I want to heal this at a root level. I have had Gotu Kola tea and collagen supplements, and I want to have bone broth and sea moss, but I’m sure many with EDS do these things and aren’t fully healed - so what’s the way?

I hypothesize that by combining the oscillations of LIPUS, which has been shown to induce blood vessel growth and promote healing in organs including the heart and brain, with the oscillations of a vibration plate/board, which has been shown to induce lymphatic drainage and increase bone density, a combined synergistic effect can be achieved to assist in healing various ailments and enhancing various organ forms and functions.

This not only improves blood flow and drainage to the affected areas, but I hypothesize that LIPUS stimulation of the spleen alone, especially in this combined manner, can help people get over viral infections sooner both by decreasing swelling of the spleen and by inducing the spleen, which is already a major organ involved in the production of antibodies, to produce both a higher quantity and quality of antibodies, and not just for viruses, but for those who practice mithridatism (consuming poisons and toxins and introducing venoms into their bodies to develop antibodies and an immunity).

I believe this realized technique (especially with choice supplement use and certain pharmaceuticals) could help treat and even cure fatty liver, NAFLD, NASH, pancreatitis, kidney disease (including chronic kidney disease) maybe even restoring function to congested nephrons (kidney filter cells), heart disease, splenomegaly, neurological disorders, neurodegenerative disorders, diabetes, PCOS, painful menstruation, low testosterone, infertility, fertility issues, and a bunch of other ailments I don't know the names of, have forgotten, and so on.

I do want to express personal hesitation using this combined technique on the heart and brain where I would use both individually on those two organs.

I have used this technique on my own liver/pancreas/spleen/gallbladder area at least once.

My technique could be proven empirically intrinsically by image generating equip ultrasound in many cases and by lab tests (many of them cheap) in other cases.

LIPUS (or more intense ultrasound) itself has already been demonstrated in multiple studies to do many of the things my proposed combined technique I'm confident can accomplish, stimulation of blood vessel growth, increased testosterone, swollen organ shrinkage, disintegration of kidney stones and gall stones, ect.

It is used in hospitals and clinical settings.
