I slept a little late this morning. That's one of the benefits of long weekends, right?
Feeling better than yesterday, still. However, I am still going to drink more pickle juice.
I had pretty much stopped taking apple cider vinegar tablets. Apparently they were helping more in the long term than I had thought. Doesn't matter whether it's Candidiasis or an electrolyte imbalance, it's readily evident I need some acidic supplementation for my gut. Finding out why would be expensive and probably useless if control is the same. Though doctors would commonly propose something more expensive and more toxic than vinegar. I'm not all into organic and against standard medicine but prefer that route as last resort.
This probably also explains the weight loss. If Candidiasis overgrows or the intestine becomes to inflamed (either one) it blocks the absorption of nutrients. So no matter how much I eat, only a fraction actually goes beyond the intestinal tract. That's why I have been eating candy and chips by entire bags and haven't increased my weight by a single ounce which remains for more than a few hours. Plus increased anxiety in spite of being on cannabis.
Of course, the strange part is that the acidity makes it past the stomach. Kind of challenges the traditional wisdom that acidity would be neutralized in the stomach. Oh, well. Next step is to figure out the best schedule for this.
Here's something cool- I must have a lot of hummingbirds visiting the feeder which I haven't seen. Only seen one or two. Yet one of the feeders was empty yesterday evening. I was afraid it sprung a leak but looked around for signs of that and did not see any. Took it down to refill, filled it with water, shook it and tilted it, no leaks. Filled it with nectar and hung it back out.
I'm still not seeing any life from the milkweed seeds. WTH?
Okay, a lot of things to do today and make up for being a sloth yesterday.
