the difference using the shampoo with blackseed oil in it compared to the coconut and olive oil variants (garnier) is incredible, i mean, they also put carbon in the black seed oil, idk how that is gonna do this kind of thing

i remember like 5 years ago being told that black seed (black cumin, iirc) is a wonder medicine

in just two days using it my hair is silky and shiny again, just like that

i've added a little permethrin and iodine to the mix, and it killed its gelling, now the solution is very low viscosity, but it's working great

i've still got these damn demodex bastards waking up whenever they are in the dark for long enough

little fuckers sexing it up in my follicles lol i mean i wouldn't even care if the fuckers didn't wriggle and irritate me like this especially when i'm trying to relax, they are worst when i'm trying to get to sleep

but the other thing about that is, apparently people who are immunocompromised have them worse

and i have slower healing rate than i can ever remember since 2019 when i picked this up

but that was the thing that made me certain that i have type 2 diabetes in early stages... persistent infections - sounds like a similar thing to immunocompromised

see, the thing is though, i got coronavirus one time, and 4 years later i'm still good, have hardly had a cold since, but i am prone to skin infections now, and these goddamn bugs

oh well, such is life

i'm adapting

i've upped the ante on the treatment regimes now... taking 50ml/5g/L medical grade borax again, plus 2-3 drops of 15% lugol's iodine every day, and a teaspoon of salt, and drinking at least 1L of water every day

the cramps are going away

i wish i could fix this shit faster

like, the awesome thing would be i could just plop myself down in some place with sane people, and pay them like 15 bux a day to have a perfect bbq steak and a giant jar of finest skunk #1 and just code my ass off lol

try 3

I only use soap/shampoo when showering 1x/month. I've got longer hair than most women and work outside and my fiancée has never said I smelled (I asked her constantly for the first year). My skin is in the same shape as before doing this routine. The only reason I do it monthly is because I enjoy the feeling of my hair when I use shampoo on it.

We also grow our own loofa, and I'd like to replumb our house for a Grey water system, but I'm unsure about doing it since we'll have mixed kids and I'm unsure about their ability to adhere to my routine or finding biodegradable soaps for their skin/scalp

well, i am glad you are in good health

i am in very bad health, but i was worse 6 months ago, and i still feel like hell most of the time

potato chips and energy drinks have damn near killed me

yes, things are getting better, slowly... it's really hard to find actual food here in madeira... it's like, whole shop has like 6 items that are actually food, and the rest are toxic waste

and no, i don't have garden option, i'm stuck in this rental with like a postage stamp of decorative garden

also, castile soap, made from potassium hydroxide and olive oil is nice, add a little tallow or coconut to give it some froth... just make it a rule, if it's toxic waste, you don't want it on your body

seriously, i am not really that keen on using these detergents either... but idk if you have used Dr Bronners in recent years, it is NOT the soap i first used 18 years ago, not at all, it's total trash now

Yeah, it's the only reason I started a farm. I'm not carnivore, but I diet wise I'd ideally onky eat meat plus foods that are in season and grown locally. And then stuff we can ourselves.

But it's definitely hard to accomplish.
