alright get ready to hate me...
i have never had heartburn...i have no concept of what yall are talking about...i do know it can be hard on a person....
sounds like diet changes are needed more than pills...ever consider that
I'm not an X-head. I did it a few times in the 90's, loved the high, hated the comedown.
Just curious...what was the high like and why did you like it? And what was the crash like?

Nope... diet doesn't matter. Its the flap on the top of your stomach. I have had to sleep at an incline at times. Acid reflux is real and if you do not control it you can get throat cancer and die. Don't waste your time or the lining of your throaq on diet experiments.
Control the acid medically and sleep with your head up. But hold the phone ...wasn't this thread about about the weight and the self loathing?

It gets your pleasure sensors in your brain firing on all cylinders. It heightens your senses, in particular touch. Taking a deep breath is an enormously pleasurable experience. Having sex while on it is really unexplainable. You have an all around feeling of "goodness" and feel confident to express deep feelings you have about people to them. You feel at one with those around you. It get's nicknames "rolling" because your eyes tend to float around. Your vision is blurred when you relax your eyes and things tend to move in slow motion ... you see a "trail" effect. Ever see a movie do a quick interlude when the view is from the inside of a car driving into a city and it speed it up and the lights form a streak? That's what your vision can be like. However, you can have sudden moments of clarity in your vision where your eyes open real wide and you take in everything before settling back down into the roll. If you see someone on it in a corner it looks like they are a puddle but don't be fooled by that. They have energy up the wazoo going on. At any moment they could get up and dance their asses off for a couple of hours straight.
The comedown sucks. While you are high you tend to grind the hell out of your teeth or tear apart the inside of your mouth. This is why you will see a lot of people on X have some sort of oral fixation to help alleviate the damage. Your brain feels like "mush" is the best way to describe it. And you can't sleep. You can either tough it out until you finally pass out or drown yourself in alcohol to help speed up the process.

David, David David.
Stop turning to antiacids and other patent medicines. Those people peddle poison. They know that taking antiacids actually CAUSES heartburn because you body responds to that by producing MORE acid.
Try drinking some vinegar.
No, I am NOT kidding.
Incidently? The same counterintuitive solution can be allply to acne vulgarus.
the patent medinces you put on your faces because you THINK you're getting acne from OIL are guaranteed to make your acne worse.
Why?
Because the surface of your skin is TOOO DRY hence you body respons by putting more oil into your pores.
And since the surface is too dry, that oiul gets trapped in the pores.
Try washing your face with Dove soap for a couple months.
Yeah, that's right your skin is PROBABLY too dry which is why you are getting acne.
Never EVER EVER trust patent medicine.
Usually it aggrevates the problem and if you think about it, you realize that is NOT an accident.
I sort of agree ... kinda'. We as a society rely too much on pills to cure our ills. Some have merit, some don't. I am prone to seeking a natural remedy first. I've never tried the vinegar one because that's one I have never heard. White or red vinegar?
However, if I have a bacterial infection, I'm taking the antibiotics.
It's not the vnegar it's the acid that works.
I don't think the kind of acid is important.
Tums and the like actually exacerbates the problem.
That's why people become addicted (no I am NOT kidding!) to antiacids. I once knew a woman addicted to bromo-seltzer for example. She did, lord I don't know how many!, boxes of the stuff every day.
Remember that alkaloids are addictive, generally.
you left out part of the story, they also told her she couldnt go to the bathroom eitherDrinking a minimum 120 ounces of water daily is indeed on way to drop some fat and inches. You have to be careful though because you CAN drown yourself that way.
That is true...some people don't realize that.
Did you hear of the case where a girl died of water intoxication after she drank a ton of water for a radio station contest?
Luckily, it is difficult to drink lethal doses of water unless you are consciously overriding your thirst mechanism that tells you to stop drinking.
actually, at 300 lbs, he is beyond what diet and exercize alone will work
at 300 lbs exercize is nearly impossible and the stress on the heart might be too much
now, i'm not saying not to exercize, but to limit it while also controling your diet better
eating ice cream to deal with heartburn is foolish
i think David needs to seek out help from a Dr
first to have a sleep study done to see if he has sleep apnea
then to explore either gastric bypass or lapband surgery
but he could have other problems as wellactually, at 300 lbs, he is beyond what diet and exercize alone will work

Interesting. I don't agree. First, for a 6'2", I don't think 300 pounds is too much that diet and exercise cannot reduce it without going to the extreme of surgery. It isn't the actual weight that is important. It's the composition of the weight.
The beautiful thing about the body is I don't think it would allow him to go out and kill himself running a marathon at his height and weight. Of course he has to start out slow and move up. If you were and absolute gym rat and laid off for 6 months I'd advise the same thing.
Most people who don't run can't get more than a half mile first try anyway. If they don't swim, they won't get even 1 lap (in an Olympic pool) without stopping.
I DO agree he should see a doctor.

so there was no place for that water to go
why she followed those instructions is beyond me

Other drugs, ecstasy, heroin, cocaine, LSD...they can kill you with your first dose.

he spoke of how he wasnt sleeping
that could mean he has sleep apnea
that can make a lot of other problems much worse
he needs to take the first step by seeing a Doctor

I agree, Gunny. Very heavy people can exercise without automatically leading to a heart attack. But, like you said, he has to go slowly.
Probably the worse outcome from advancing exercise too quickly in a heavy person is likely orthopedic problems, such as ligamentous or meniscal tears in the knees.
