2024.05.22 02:44 Traditional_Abies_77 Who should I talk to?

I've been having consistent issues with brain fog, weakness, fatigue, occasional blurry vision, recent gain in body fat for the first time in my life (nothing severe), general malaise, and some gastro symptoms among others. Some days are better than others, but it's always present to some degree.
My main question is what kind of doctor will actually listen to me? My GP basically shrugs when I bring this up and says "all blood tests we've ran have come back within range, probably just anxiety". I will concede that anxiety is a possible answer, but I don't notice a correlation between my symptoms and feeling anxious beforehand. Most of the time when my symptoms are present I don't feel anxious at all.
I'm not taking any current medications, and quit drinking 7 months ago when all of these symptoms were at their worst. I was a very heavy drinker for 7 years give or take, so I tend to lean toward B12 deficiency or liver issues since those seem to be the most likely. Problem is all my blood work indicates my liver is functioning normally, and I haven't been tested for B12 (yet). I have also likely ruled out hypothyroidism.
Any theories are welcome, my current ones are hyperparathyroidism (consistently high blood calcium levels which my doc is not concerned about), B12 obviously, GAD, cirrhosis (fuckin hope not, I'm only 26), and long covid. Covid would be odd though, because as far as I am aware I haven't had it since 2021, before these symptoms began. My issue with the anxiety DX is that I feel my brain fog is CAUSING me anxiety, not the other way around.
I'm posting in this sub since brain fog is by far my most profound and debilitating symptom, and I assume many of you have sought medical treatment for it. My new jobs insurance kicks in next month, so I thought I'd look into what my best course of action could be. The sheer amount of effort I have to put into every aspect of work/life in general is nowhere close to what it used to be for me. Something's up. I feel like I'm in some hellish purgatory and just want answers.
In the meantime I'll keep showing up to work until I fucking collapse, because losing this job means being uninsured, which means no more access to medical care.

2024.05.22 02:43 ar_david_hh CIA and Soros: Armenia on May/21/2024

16-minute read.

pro-West party leader says they met PM Pashinyan and discussed a referendum to solidify Armenia's shift to EU

KHZMALYAN (European Party of Armenia): The referendum is our suggestion and demand. We presented it to Pashinyan and expect a response within a reasonable timeframe. We advised making a public statement soon. A referendum would also make Pashinyan's job easier by allowing the people's will to decide Armenia's direction.
REPORTER: How did Pashinyan respond?
KHZMALYAN: He suggested the meeting be held in a closed format so I can't reveal all details. We hope that our voice, our offer, our demand, was heard. If we do not receive a positive response, we will take measures by employing the same methods currently used by anti-European forces [the ongoing protests led by pro-Russian ex-regime]. We will take to the streets and demand a referendum for Eurointegration if necessary.
REPORTER: How long are you ready to wait before taking action?
KHZMALYAN: A few months. Georgia will hold parliamentary elections in October, and Moldova will hold a similar Eurointegration referendum - also in October. The U.S. will hold presidential elections in November which will be important for Armenia's future. Even if the worst scenario unfolds in all three countries, Armenia must stand firm and not take a step back. Armenia could become the leader in democracy in all of Eastern Europe if you consider the situation in Georgia, Hungary, and Slovakia [pro-Russia populist leader]. Armenia could receive an unprecedented level of assistance from Europe under those circumstances.
REPORTER: Did Pashinyan say he plans to leave CSTO?
KHZMALYAN: We did not demand specific dates but we urged him to complete all these processes this year, preferably by November.
REPORTER: Did Pashinyan agree?
KHZMALYAN: The participants of the meeting are under the impression that we were able to present convincing arguments but time will show what actions he takes. The government functions very poorly but nevertheless, they are doing something, they are taking steps.
REPORTER: On May 9, Bagrat Galstanyan gave Pashinyan 1 hour to resign but it's May 21 and he is still here. Why wasn't the opposition able to remove him?
KHZMALYAN: The 3 former presidents and their surrogate forces, backed by 30 years of power, were unable to bring forward a figurehead, a single ideology, that could win the hearts of the people. They used various political technologies, they switched between black and white robes, and they extended the 1 hour to 7 days, but none of that helped because the Armenian people hate them more than they hate Nikol Pashinyan.
REPORTER: You used to be a lot harsher on Pashinyan but something appears to have changed in your tone after your recent meeting with him. What is the reason?
KHZMALYAN: We were able to present our demands and the timelines to accomplish them. Unlike the archbishop and the former regimes surrounding him, we did not give "one hour" for Pashinyan to accept our demands; we did not make ultimatums. We believe the current government is carrying out and will carry out the will of the people to overcome the status of a Russian colony and join the ranks of free nations. We did and do see steps [taken by the government] towards this; we cannot ignore this. We saw the Strassbourg, but also Moscow. We saw the [April 5 meeting in] Brussels, but also [the recent meeting between FMs in] Almaty. We are told this is an attempt to "balance" and we understand where they are coming from, but our factions speak on behalf of over 60% of Armenians who view Russia's policies as deadly for Armenia. We expect concrete actions and we have formed a platform to continue this work; there will be petitions and other actions from us. We are ready to assist Pashinyan, who may be constrained due to ongoing negotiations, by being the public voice and saying the things he cannot say. We will continue to work, to pressure, to influence, to demand. Our meetings also continue abroad. We will press on until we reach our goal - the Eurointegration of Armenia. //
Several prominent Western-oriented political parties recently formed an alliance to promote Armenia's Eurointegration.

Q&A with ruling party MP Vahagn Alexanyan about the ongoing protests led by pro-Russian opposition

REPORTER: You continue to criticize the "holy movement"...
ALEXANYAN: The what now?
REPORTER: ... the "holy movement", by calling it a "pagan" movement. What is the ruling party's stance and do you discuss this internally?
ALEXANYAN: Of course we do, although I don't think Kocharyan's decision to name this movement "holy" is helping them. It's comical.
REPORTER: Do you have proof that Bagrat srbazan is [tied with Kocharyan]?
ALEXANYAN: Bagrat Galstanyan is surrounded by the entire political team of Robert Koharyan, he was a member of Kocharyan's 2022 protests and gave similar speeches he gives today, he received a praise from Russian propagandists, and he was named by a Russian propagandist Aram Gabrielyanov as a potential candidate for a new protest movement just a few months prior to these events, so it's beyond reasonable doubt that Bagrat Galstanyan is part of Kocharyan's team.
REPORTER: You were earlier accusing Galstanyan of being a Russian agent, and now Kocharyan's agent?
ALEXANYAN: Same thing.
REPORTER: The opposition gathered many thousands of supporters on May 9. What does the size of the crowd indicate?
ALEXANYAN: It was similar to Kocharyan's final rally before the 2021 elections. And?
REPORTER: The opposition created a video of "Pashinyan's lies" and broken promises. Will you respond?
ALEXANYAN: The clip itself is a lie and manipulation. For example, one of the supposed lies was Pashinyan's promise of an amnesty for overdue fines and penalties. You are a journalist, you tell me, was there an amnesty or not?
REPORTER: Pashinyan had also said that POWs could wait "just a few more months" and that he wouldn't "sacrifice Armenia's sovereignty" in exchange for bringing them back sooner. Why aren't they back?
ALEXANYAN: Dozens of POWs returned home in December, and efforts continue to bring back the rest. Literally 1-2 days before the POWs' return, the opposition claimed that the POWs were "forgotten" by the government. "Ոչ մի բան չեք անում:"
REPORTER: What about the Nagorno-Karabakh leadership?
ALEXANYAN: There are efforts to return them as well.
REPORTER: Why did the police form a wall to block entry to village Kirants [for nonresidents]?
ALEXANYAN: I think the NSS said they had to take action to prevent interference with the border work. From what I can tell, the protest leader himself went there yesterday and returned only 15 minutes later so there wasn't a big desire to stay there apparently.
REPORTER: They plan to hold a big rally on May 26 where they might nominate Bagrat srbazan as the PM's candidate to replace Pashinyan.
ALEXANYAN: Why not go straight for [alleged narco baron] Mihran Poghosyan [who publicly praised the protests]?
REPORTER: There appears to be a consensus around Bagrat srbazan after a meeting between several forces.
ALEXANYAN: Consensus minus one, where "minus one" is the people. Or to be more precise, "minus two", because the Constitution also prohibits Bagrat from serving as a prime minister. Congratulations on an initiative that's dead on arrival. It's absurd. They suggested replacing the Constitution to allow a dual citizen to serve as PM. Okay... To get Canadian citizenship you have to take an oath to serve the best interests of Canada. To allow dual citizens to serve as PM in Armenia we have to accept for the PM to have loyalty towards another state. The alternative is for the candidate [Bagrat] to admit that his word [oath to Canada] wasn't worth a dime. Երևի մատերը խաչ արած ա երդվել։
REPORTER: But don't you think you are manipulating because Galstanyan received Canadian citizenship just to be able to serve in the church in Canada? He didn't go there to live or conduct business.
ALEXANYAN: It doesn't matter why he went to Canada. He is a citizen of Canada and took an oath. Even religious leaders with dual citizenship cannot become prime ministers. I don't have an issue with him being a dual citizen, but it limits his office options. He still hasn't renounced his Canadian citizenship even after all these talks about a possible nomination.
REPORTER: Galstanyan said he is ready to renounce it as soon as there is a need for it.
ALEXANYAN: In other words, he seeks "guarantees" that he will be the candidate in order to renounce it?

opposition churchman Bagrat Galstanyan demands the Armenian government compensate the damage done to the church during USSR and "return" the properties "legally belonging" to the church

This was said as a response to the critics of the church leadership who accused the church of turning into a political party and suggested taxing the church like a business.
BAGRAT: We have 19th-century churches that were forcefully confiscated and turned into ruins. The properties of the Armenian church must be returned to the church. The area of Moscow Cinema belongs to the church, half of the Katoghike Church was demolished and belongs to the church, and part of the items in Matenadaran were taken away from the church. Instead of threatening us with taxes, they must think about how they plan to return our properties, fully renovated and ready for service.

Armenia's Constitutional Court has a vacant seat. Pro-Russian opposition criticizes Pashinyan's ruling party for favoring a "George Soros-linked" judge who worked for U.S. State Department.

A Serj-era judge is leaving the Constitutional Court after receiving a job offer elsewhere so one seat is vacant. It is the judiciary's turn to nominate a CC judge, so hundreds of judges recently held a meeting and voted for Judge Balayan as their candidate. Balayan's father was a CC judge during Kocharyan's tenure. He was accused in the Wikileaks report of having inappropriate deals with President Kocharyan. Pashinyan's ruling party did not vote to approve Balayan. This led to a second gathering of hundreds of judges where they voted to nominate Judge Khachaturyan as their candidate. The parliament summoned him for Q&A on Tuesday.
SPEAKER: We invite the representative of the judiciary to present their nominee for CC.
JUDICIARY REP: 267 judges voted. Judge Davit Khachaturyan, a member of the Criminal Chamber of the Court of Cassation, won the majority votes.
2000-2005: [blah blah blah]
2003-2006: Legislative Assistance Project Manager at Southern Caucasus Anti-Drug (SCAD) Program, sponsored by European Union and implemented by United Nations Development Program

2013–2020: Law Faculty of Yerevan State University. Lecturer. Development and teaching of courses for the Master Program: “European Standards for the human rights protection in criminal proceedings”, and “Professional Skills of a Lawyer”
etc.
OPPOSITION MP: The ruling faction earlier chose not to confirm the appointment of Judge Davit Balayan; they obviously prefer Davit Khachaturyan. Can you explain why you didn't mention that Khachaturyan served on the board of directors and later as the president of the board at George Soros's Armenia-based Open Society Foundations? How will this record impact his work at CC?
JUDICIARY REP: I presented parts of his professional activities available on the court's public platforms. You can ask the candidate directly.
OPPOSITION MP: The Soros Foundation publicly listed him as a member so I don't understand why it's being hidden now. In your opinion, how will his work at the Soros Foundation affect his impartiality?
JUDICIARY REP: The majority of judges chose him and it's up to Parliament whether to confirm or reject.
RULING MP: Was the voting held in a closed session or can you see how each judge voted?
JUDICIARY REP: It's a closed format. My duty here is to present the candidate. [basically, leave me alone I'm just doing my job]
RULING MP: Why not make the court voting and internal discussions more transparent for the public to see so we will have fewer conspiracy theories on why one judge was preferred over the other?
JUDICIARY REP: I share the view that it needs to be as public as possible but the majority of judges voted to keep the session closed to the press.
RULING MP: Just because the discussions and the vote were behind closed doors that doesn't mean it was anti-democratic, but still, it's better to publicize the process. We hope to see a change in this approach.
JUDICIARY REP: The ballot casting will always be secret and I think that's the right approach in order to allow judges to express themselves without constraints, but I agree that the discussions and speeches should be public. Either way whatever we discuss behind closed doors always reaches the press so in practice there isn't really a major transparency issue there.
CANDIDATE KHACHATURYAN: First, every part of my biography has always been public and part of public discussions. Second, I have always voted in favor of making internal discussions open to the press; it's the best way to avoid incorrect assumptions. Full speech here.
OPPOSITION MP: Congratulations. The ruling party intends to approve your candidacy just as they voted for you in the past for other positions. In all of those instances, you didn't mention your work at the Сорос Foundation. Now, a very interesting coincidence [drumroll... are you guys ready for this bombshell?], during the same time while you worked at Сорос foundation, in 2006-2013, you were also a U.S. Embassy employee [got 'em]. //
Nikol Pashinyan has resigned.
Tavush stretches all the way to Russia.
Bagrat srbazan becomes the Supreme Leader of Historical Soil & Water and the Generalissimos of Slow-Melting Candles... and of course removes the speed cameras from highways.
OPPOSITION MP (continues): With this biography, how do we know you are not an agent of foreign influence?
CANDIDATE KHACHATURYAN: I was not an "employee" at the Soros Foundations. Other famous figures have served on the Board [mentions a famous doctor]. Everyone who was part of the Board had duties but it was not really an "employment". As for my simultaneous work with the U.S. Justice Department, there was no conflict with my membership or presidency at the Board because the latter was fully a public activity and we were only given a symbolic sum to compensate for our expenses; we are talking about less than $100/mo. I will let you be the judge regarding an agent of influence. There is a lot that's missing from my biography that read here [lists some boring constitutional research work, etc.].
OPPOSITION MP: You keep being "promoted" by the ruling party without having the chance to finish your terms. The longest job you've ever held was at the Сорос Foundation - 8 years. The brother of the head of the Anti-Corruption Committee, who is about to join the CC, cannot be impartial. Again, what guarantees can you present that you are not a [Western] agent?
CANDIDATE KHACHATURYAN: Your expectation for guarantees stems from the assumption that the [Open Society Foundations] were engaged in activities other than the ones they were actually engaged in. I won't present any "guarantees" because there is no "threat" to begin with. As I've said, that part of my biography has always been discussed publicly and the activities were public and covered by the press.
RULING MP: In your speech you spoke about the judiciary in the U.S. and brought examples. The U.S. doesn't have a Constitutional Court. Don't you think we should also merge the Constitutional and [Cassations Court] with the upcoming referendum to have one Supreme Court with corresponding chambers?
CANDIDATE KHACHATURYAN: I support having one unified body like in the U.S., or clarifying the duties to prevent each body from interfering with the other. Lengthy answer.
OPPOSITION MP: A person [in Kirants] received permission [from USSR] to build a house and live in it. Then the [Armenian] government told him there was a mistake [after the clarification of borders]. Some 50 years after this incident, what would your verdict be in this case?
CANDIDATE KHACHATURYAN: I understand the context. This issue is the task of the Prime Minister and Foreign Minister and we cannot interfere in each other's institutions. I assume there will be a peace agreement eventually that will be sent to the Constitutional Court for examination, therefore I will refrain from making prejudgments now in order to be allowed to take part in future processes.

2024.05.22 02:08 RegrowthGuru THE CARDIOVASCULAR BENEFITS OF FINASTERIDE

Finasteride, marketed under the names Propecia or Proscar, has long been prescribed to address male pattern baldness and enlarged prostate. However, a recent study conducted at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign suggests that there may be some cardiovascular benefits of finasteride. Research shows that finasteride can reduce cholesterol levels, lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease.

WHAT IS FINASTERIDE?

Finasteride is a medication used to treat hair loss, particularly male pattern baldness, as well as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). BPH is a condition characterized by an enlarged prostate gland. Finasteride belongs to a class of drugs known as 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors. Its primary mechanism of action involves blocking the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, which converts testosterone into dihydrotestosterone (DHT). By inhibiting DHT production, finasteride helps to slow down hair loss and promote hair regrowth in individuals with androgenetic alopecia. While also reducing prostate gland size and relieving symptoms associated with BPH. Finasteride is typically available in oral tablet form. It is often prescribed at a dosage of 1 milligram daily for hair loss and 5 milligrams daily for BPH. It is important for individuals considering finasteride to consult with a healthcare provider to discuss its potential benefits and risks.

HOW FINASTERIDE TREATS HAIR LOSS

Finasteride operates through a multifaceted mechanism targeting the root cause of male pattern baldness, also known as androgenetic alopecia. Male pattern baldness is predominantly driven by the hormone dihydrotestosterone (DHT), which plays a central role in shrinking hair follicles. This process shortens the hair growth phase, and eventually leads to hair thinning and loss. Finasteride functions by inhibiting the activity of the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, responsible for converting testosterone into DHT within the body. By blocking this enzyme, finasteride effectively reduces DHT levels in the scalp. Thereby interrupting the destructive cycle that leads to hair follicle miniaturization and eventual hair loss.
One of the primary effects of finasteride is to prolong the anagen, or growth, phase of the hair follicle cycle. With reduced levels of DHT, hair follicles can remain in the active growth phase for longer periods, resulting in thicker, healthier hair strands. Additionally, finasteride may also stimulate the proliferation of hair follicle cells and promote the development of new, stronger hair shafts. Over time, this leads to increased hair density, improved scalp coverage, and a noticeable reduction in hair loss.
Clinical studies have consistently demonstrated the efficacy of finasteride in treating male pattern baldness. In randomized controlled trials, men using finasteride showed significant improvements in hair growth compared to those receiving a placebo. Moreover, long-term observational studies have revealed sustained benefits of finasteride therapy. Many individuals experienced continued hair regrowth and maintenance of hair density over several years of treatment. Finasteride is typically administered orally, with a recommended dosage of 1 milligram per day. Overall, finasteride remains a cornerstone in the management of male pattern baldness. It offers effective and reliable results for many individuals seeking to address hair loss concerns.

FINASTERIDE LEADING TO DECREASED CHOLESTEROL

Emerging research suggests that finasteride may possess unexpected benefits beyond its primary indications. A study conducted at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign found intriguing associations between finasteride use and reduced cholesterol levels, potentially leading to a decreased risk of cardiovascular disease. Published in the Journal of Lipid Research, the study analyzed data from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) between 2009 and 2016, revealing significant correlations between finasteride usage and lower cholesterol levels among male participants. Moreover, experiments conducted in mice administered high doses of finasteride demonstrated reductions in total plasma cholesterol, delayed progression of atherosclerosis, and diminished liver inflammation, suggesting a potential cardioprotective effect of the medication.
While the precise mechanisms underlying finasteride’s impact on cholesterol levels remain to be fully understood, its primary mode of action provides a plausible explanation. Finasteride works by inhibiting the enzyme 5-alpha-reductase, thereby reducing the conversion of testosterone to dihydrotestosterone (DHT). Given the established link between androgens and cardiovascular health, particularly in the context of atherosclerosis, it is conceivable that finasteride’s modulation of androgen levels may contribute to its cholesterol-lowering effects. However, further research is warranted to explore the intricate interplay between finasteride, hormonal dynamics, and cardiovascular risk factors, offering new avenues for understanding and potentially leveraging the therapeutic benefits of this widely used medication.

STUDY FINDINGS

Published in the Journal of Lipid Research, the study uncovered significant correlations between finasteride usage and decreased cholesterol levels among male participants in the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey from 2009 to 2016. Additionally, in experiments involving mice administered high doses of finasteride, researchers observed reductions in total plasma cholesterol, delayed progression of atherosclerosis, diminished liver inflammation, and associated benefits.
Lead study author Jaume Amengual, Assistant Professor in the Department of Food Science and Human Nutrition and the Division of Nutritional Sciences at the College of Agricultural, Consumer and Environmental Sciences (ACES) at U. of I., expressed surprise at the findings. Contrary to expectations, men using finasteride exhibited cholesterol levels averaging 30 points lower than non-users, shedding light on an unforeseen aspect of the medication’s effects.
Subsequent experiments conducted by doctoral student Donald Molina Chaves involved administering varying doses of finasteride to atherosclerotic male mice fed a high-fat, high-cholesterol diet. Results revealed lowered cholesterol levels in mice receiving high doses of finasteride, accompanied by reduced liver lipids and inflammatory markers.
While the observed effects were significant at doses exceeding human usage, Amengual emphasizes the importance of considering species differences in drug metabolism. Nonetheless, the findings suggest that finasteride may influence cholesterol levels in humans even at standard doses. This offers a promising avenue for further investigation.

FUTURE DIRECTIONS

Prompted by the unexpected connection between finasteride and cholesterol levels, Amengual delved deeper into the mechanisms underlying this phenomenon. Given the drug’s primary role in altering hormonal dynamics by blocking a protein involved in testosterone activation, Amengual’s interest in exploring its broader effects was piqued.
Moving forward, tracking cholesterol levels in finasteride patients or conducting clinical trials may elucidate this effect further. Of particular interest is exploring potential cardiovascular benefits in transgender individuals undergoing hormonal transitions. This is a group at higher risk of both hair loss and cardiovascular disease.

CONCLUSION

Despite the potential benefits, Amengual emphasizes the importance of consulting healthcare providers before commencing finasteride treatment, given its associated risks. Nonetheless, these findings open new doors for research into the broader implications of finasteride. This offers hope to a diverse range of individuals for the cardiovascular benefits of finasteride.

2024.05.22 01:32 h0tdogicecube Feeding 1yo cat kitten food?

Didn’t calculate the right amount of wet/dry food to buy for my cat the last time I stocked up on her food and realize that she should be transitioned to adult food by now (just turned 12 months old). Is it safe to continue feeding her kitten food even though she’s 1 now? I have enough cans for the next ~2.5 months that I would like to make use of, but will look to donate instead if there are any health risks involved. Calculating the calories for her weight it seems like it would work as long as I cut down a bit on the dry food, but worry the fat content or other nutritional elements may create issues.

2024.05.22 01:22 Loose_Character_1799 Wattbike Atom users: Rouvy support custom shifters?

note: I asked this question in LaurenWolff's question / answer thread, but it seems best posed to Wattbike users directly.
Hi Wattbike Atom users of the Rouvy app! Are you able to use the Wattbike's custom shifters in Rouvy? I have done quite a bit of searching and there isn't any mention of an issue with it, so I am thinking I am perhaps misunderstanding the functionality of Rouvy.
* It seems like the Rouvy experience seems to be that your bike stays in the same gear all the time, and the resistance changes based on the grade of the road in the course / workout you are doing. *
Is this the case? or am I missing something obvious? I do see the "increase / reset / decrease resistance" buttons on the right when riding in one of the Training Plan workouts, but that does not really accomplish the custom shifter experience aka simulation of real world changing gears on your road bike experience I am looking for. I also see that on the Wattbike Hub the gear set can be changed, then enter the Zwift/Rouvy/FullGaz etc. app, but I want to simply press a button to shift as needed to simulate shifting gears in the real world.
In Zwift, the custom shifters on the bike's handlebars change the resistance / gearing on the fly, like a real road bike. In Zwift, when you hit a steep incline you can use the custom shifter to move to a higher gear to reduce the resistance the same way you would in the real world; same when you hit a downslope on a hill you can switch the custom shifter to a lower gear to increase the resistance / get more speed on the bike (note: I am a casual biker who has used Zwift to simulate bike riding for cardio workout, not a hardcore biker so the terminology used here may be confusing).
I find that the ability to use the custom shifters on the wattbike leads to a somewhat realitic-ish experience in Zwift. I love the visual realism in Rouvy, and with the price increase @ Zwift along with the goofy 80s-style graphics it seems like Rouvy would be a good replacement. I work in IT, and don't mind troubleshooting; have already done some and see nothing wrong with the setup.
Unfortunately the custom shifter functionality is a dealbreaker for me, as saving $5 a month is not enough to have what I see as a less realistic ride experience than Zwift (dopey arcade style graphics notwithstanding).
Here are a couple of YouTube reviews from an IronMan athlete who uses a Wattbike Atom to use Rouvy, and he calls out the same issue:
Wattbike Atom custom shifters not supported, Rouvy leaves you in one gear (granted, it was posted 4 years ago): YouTube (discussed between 7:58 - 10:46)
A year later, same reviewer revisits and mentions same deficiency in the ability to control gears: YouTube (discussed between 3:13 - 3:28)
Versioning Note: My bike (Wattbike Atom 1st gen) is on current firmware (1.02.01), and is connected properly (or so it appears) to Rouvy app running on Apple TV 4k.

2024.05.22 01:10 ThrowRabcwhy My [18F]fiance [18M] yelled at me for defending myself against his bosses sexual harassment. should I apologize?

Hey.. I'm recently 18 and my fiance is also 18. I honestly can't share a whole lot of the details around this story. I'm terrified of being caught. I'll probably delete this post later.
My family, we'll they're apart of this.. Cult. I never understood it. I just thought we were normal Christians, but when I was 8 my sister who was only 16 was married off to this guy Chris, and when I was 9 the same thing happened to my other sister when she was 16. This happened again when I was 11. I knew I was next.
When I was 15 my marriage was arranged with this.. Guy. His name was Bill, he was 32. He was an church gower and was suggested by our pastor. I got to meet him a couple times and he was nice. I didn't want to marry him but I had no choice.
I married him the day after my 16th birthday. When I went home with him... I hated it. He wasnt nice anymore. He was married previously to a girl at our church, but he divorced her for "being broken" apparently she was Infertile and after 7 ish months of trying he gave up. But she got remarried immediately with this other guy and she's pregnant..
He immediately tried to Impregnate me. But after a few months he was getting impatient. I think he was realizing that maybe he was the problem.
Bill had a step brother, Gerry. Gerry was an angel... Bill and Gerry were estranged. Their mother had an affair with a darker man, and Gerry was born, it was obvious this was an affair baby. He was dark. I don't want to reveal any details about my location but..dark people are treated badly here. I barely see any..and when I do.. They're on the streets.
Gerry was a saint despite all the hardship growing up.. He was disgusted with his brother and I'd always hear him insulting and ridiculing him.. Anytime he came over he'd take me aside and make sure I was okay.. He was so sweet.. One time when Bill was working late.. Me and Gerry slept together. He was slow.. Careful. I loved it.
That's when I found out I was pregnant. I knew it was Gerry's,but Bill was happy. Gerry knew, I knew. Bill didn't.
It was Gerry's birthday a month ago. He was 18.
Gerry took me aside and asked if I wanted to leave and have a family with him. I didn't even think, I just said yes. I packed my stuff and snuck out two weeks later.
It took a while but we moved far and got an apartment. It was all of Gerry's savings. We were safe for now. It's scary because I was still a minor for one more month. We just need to be quiet and lay low. We were running out of funds so Gerry got a job. It was VERY hard due to the racism and horrible stereotypes Gerry was suffering with.. But he got a job! I was so proud.
I found out Gerry left to go to work in a hurry and forgot his lunch. He'd usually take just a sandwich. He works so hard so I spent 30 minutes making him a way better and nutritional lunch, then brought it to him, I hadn't been out in a while.
I arrived during lunch and Gerry greeted me with a kiss. We were chatting when I gave him his lunch. His work partners were saying how lucky he was, then his boss came over. I introduced myself and he put his hand on my arm and said Gerry was a lucky guy.
Gerry put his arm around me and laughed it off, he said that we were planning my 18th birthday. I think he said this to let the boss know I wasn't over 18 so he'd stop. But he didn't. He put his hand on my chin.. I got flashbacks to Bill.. He used to do that. So I slapped him. I didn't mean to.
Gerry grabbed my arm and pulled me away, apologizing profusely to his boss. He asked me to go. So I left.. Gerry came home a few hours. He seemed distant. I asked and he got really mad.. He didn't yell. But he was definitely angry. He said that he was in deep trouble, and that he understood that what his boss did was disgusting, but he struggled so hard to get a job due to the prejudice and racism. He held my hands and said that he NEEDED this job for me and the baby. He was crying by the end of it. He wiped his tears and gave me a half hearted apology. He slept on the couch and we haven't talked since..
Didn't do something wrong? I think maybe I should go back and apologize to his boss.. Gerry works so hard.. And even though it doesn't seek like it.. He's so genuine. He brings me home flowers every day that he sees on his trail home. He's so excited to meet our baby girl. (He's certain it's a girl)

2024.05.22 01:06 thew0rldisquiethere1 How are there so few calories in certain fast food items?

Let me preface this by saying I'm not talking about nutritional value, macros, etc., but purely the calorie number. For lunch today, I went to McDonald's and got 3 burgers (chicken, chilli cheese double & quarter pounder with cheese) and now it's 1am and I'm still full, haven't eaten anything else today, and those three burgers were 1200 calories. The chicken burger, for example, is 287 calories, using all normal ingredients, but try make your own at home (with sauce and cheese) for that same figure. The smallest white burger buns at the supermarket are 140 calories. Somehow the other 147 calories is made up of battered chicken and creamy mayo? How?? A teaspoon of my regular mayo in the fridge is nearly 100 calories alone. A Big Mac is 543 calories, and it's a huge burger. That's the same at 1.5 slices of a large Regina pizza. Idk, I guess my point is that fast food is always touted as this big bad thing that'll make you obese, and obviously while going there every day won't get your body the best nutrients, it's easy to eat controlled meals there. Same as Burger King. Their loaded fries are 379 calories. My bowl of Corn Flakes in the morning with no sugar is higher than that.

2024.05.22 00:58 dscarbon333 Why don't more people seemingly know about the "alternative treatments" for various conditions per se, and the perspectives, there associated, vis. items like depression etc.?

Given that information in other posts about available information(if looking for it perhaps, per se), regarding "alternative treatments" for the situation that may be associated with the idea of "depression" and or the other nutritional augmentation/modification related items are somewhat "lesser known" than more "conventional approaches"/"main stream approaches", why are the "main stream approaches" the "main stream approaches" as per majority of physicians etc., general public etc.?
One might argue that these specific referenced items of information in question being "less well known" than more "well trumpeted" items like pharmaceutical medications, etc., amounts to somewhat of a "betrayal" arguably; and hence one might be lead to ask one's self "who is involved" in the betrayal arguably? "What are the mechanisms" via which this "betrayal" is proliferated throughout society, in general?
Well, presumably, this betrayal would involve several key actors.
-Sources of Information,
and
-Framers of Information.
A "source" of said information could essentially be argued to entail/involve organizations like the main-stream-media and/or a run-of-the-mill mainstream medical providers arguably.
Hence one might wonder perhaps, where the source of said issue vis. there associated potential entities/individuals/there associated organizations may lie, perhaps.
To suss this out, one may be "well guided" to potentially asses the sources of revenue etc., for said organizations etc., as appropriate etc.; "Follow the Money", "Qui Bono" etc.(not necessarily always true but at times may be useful "guides" perhaps)
To work from the "ground up" one may hence be "well guided" to asses, for example, the revenue sources of Main Stream Media first, as this is most ubiquitous source for "medical advice" in general perhaps;
-Pharmaceutical companies within group of largest 5 ad spenders vis. main stream media;
https://www.fiercepharma.com/marketing/hey-big-spenders-pharma-ranks-top-five-industries-for-tv-media-spending-says-report
https://www.foxbusiness.com/money/which-pharma-brand-spends-the-most-on-tv
https://www.statista.com/statistics/953104/pharma-industry-tv-ad-spend-us/
-As is somewhat obvious media companies are in general, in some regard, directly or indirectly often effectively "advertising companies", in effect;
https://www.pewresearch.org/journalism/2014/03/26/revenue-sources-a-heavy-dependence-on-advertising/
Further, one can not truly reasonably expect to rely on main stream media coverage alone for decent medically oriented advice unfortunately perhaps in general.
None the less, fortuitously there are run of the mill health care providers. Hopefully they wouldn't have any conflicts of interest with financial behemoths like large pharmaceutical companies right?
Well, unfortunately pharmaceutical company money is very present in both the education of the average western-medicine oriented doctor, as well as in the environment which they may operate in, in a post college etc., "setting" if one will, etc.
For example;
Pharmaceutical companies' "presence" in Canadian medical schooling;
https://www.sootoday.com/around-ontario/canada-how-big-pharma-can-impact-the-education-of-med-school-students-1634906
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3778453/
In US, etc., as well;
https://time.com/6171999/big-pharma-clinical-data-doctors/
https://www.propublica.org/article/we-found-over-700-doctors-who-were-paid-more-than-a-million-dollars-by-drug-and-medical-device-companies
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19723256/
Well, if pharmaceutical company money is potentially "creating" "conflicts of interest" within medical schools, and among run of the mill doctors, well, certainly, regulators would call them out if they did anything "inappropriate" right?
Unfortunately, there may also be potential "conflicts of interest" present within regulators potentially as well. For example, via the "revolving door", and other there associated phenomena, as well as through funding and other more direct financial conflicts of interest as well; as may be documented via the following perhaps;
https://www.science.org/content/article/hidden-conflicts-pharma-payments-fda-advisers-after-drug-approvals-spark-ethical
https://www.science.org/content/article/fda-and-nih-let-clinical-trial-sponsors-keep-results-secret-and-break-law
https://www.hawaiipublicradio.org/npr-news/npr-news/2016-09-28/a-look-at-how-the-revolving-door-spins-from-fda-to-industry
https://web.archive.org/web/20240415060010/https://www.science.org/content/article/fda-s-revolving-door-companies-often-hire-agency-staffers-who-managed-their-successful
https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/how-corporate-funding-distorts-nih-research/2018/06/22/ad0260c8-7595-11e8-9780-b1dd6a09b549_story.html
Also, within there-associated research institutes/clinics/labs etc., the desire to secure sources-of-funding may also acutely draw in the influence of pharmaceutical companies into the "scientific research" process associated with the field of "medicine" if one will in general for example;
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9302569/
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19858802/
https://www.propublica.org/article/federally-funded-health-researchers-disclose-at-least-188-million-in-conflicts-of-interest-can-you-trust-their-findings
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIsMldhzxns
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1y_EkKhs5BQ
Further, within research institutions and research at Universities etc., people would only, even if unduly influenced by pharmaceutical industry or other industry finances etc., directly or indirectly, none the less behave ethically, and in an up-standing and competent way in regards to conducting their research right? They certainly wouldn't produce dubious "scientific" or otherwise "academic" oriented research perhaps right? Surely, they would be concerned with being called out, and the there-associated consequence for doing as such etc. perhaps?
Well, it turns out that quite a lot of modern "scientific research", even if "fancy" and "rigorous" in its supposed "methodologies" "verbiage" etc., is actually of "dubious" origin, and representative of something less than "integrity" and "excellence" potentially, lets just say seemingly;
A large amount of "scientific research papers" submitted to "Academic Journals", are later retracted, etc.;
https://www.theguardian.com/science/2024/feb/03/the-situation-has-become-appalling-fake-scientific-papers-push-research-credibility-to-crisis-point?ref=labnotes.org
Many, if not most of the scientific, etc., papers that clear the review process and are published, are later found to be un-reproducible, vis. results etc., outcomes etc., for "whatever reason", seemingly;
https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-39054778
https://www.sciencenews.org/article/cancer-biology-studies-research-replication-reproducibility
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Replication_crisis
Hence, from the education, to the research, to the regulation of the "medical industry" in the US, etc., one may find, arguably, objectively speaking, a relatively profoundly large presence of "pharmaceutical industry" financial influence involved in practically every stage of the; research, review of the research(if the "research" is even somewhat "legit" to begin with), govt. institution associated actions(for example; "Approval", etc.) associated with said associated "research", and one can even see said same organizations(Ph. Companies) similarly being the leading contributors to the main-stream-media associated "coverage"/"discussions" of said associated items, both directly, via advertising, and indirectly vis. implicit bias of said profit driven or funding driven main-stream media outlets etc.
Hence, arguably, the "influence"-of pharmaceutical companies' "motivations" may have a disproportionate and relatively overwhelming per se, influence upon the "medical" information that is presented-to, and made-easily available to the average member of the public in the "Western World" in general perhaps.
As an aside obviously, if one will, there are many other books, articles, research papers etc., which may somehow none the less, "make it through" this net of biases and still somehow report on it, if one will; on this, there associated variety of topics in question, which one may further perhaps research and analyze as to one's own preferences perhaps.

2024.05.22 00:57 OlBoyBuggin Supplement Regimen - Is it too much?

My Psych reccomended I take 5000 IU of D3 and 400 mcg of B12 since a blood panel indicated I was deficient. When I bought those I also picked up some Fish Oil (1000mg.) Then I looked online and saw some folks talk about the importance of Calcium, Zinc, and Magnesium. OK, I add those on plus a Multivitamin. Started working out and picked up some Creatine, alright so add that into the mix. Then I read L-Arganine, Beet Root, and Horny Goat Weed will give you cool boners. Hell yeah. Now I pass by the supplement section and throw more on the pile: Ashgawandha, Gingko Balboa, and Ginseng.
I also have prescriptions for Adderall, Buspirone, Gabapentin, Lamotrigine, and Trazodone.
OK so other than the fact that I've just spent a bunch of money (which no one asked me to do) I'm taking hella pills every day. This is what my regimen looks like:
BREAKFAST: Adderall 10mg (Prescribed)/Buspirone 7.5mg (Prescribed)/Lamotrigine 100mg (Precribed)/B12 500 mcg (Prescribed)/D3 5000 IU(Prescribed)/Zinc 50mg/Fish Oil 1000mg/Calcium 600mg/Magnesium 250mg/Multivitamin x2/Ashgawandha/Gingko Baloba/Ginseng x2/Beet Root 1000mg/L-Arganine 1000mg/Horny Goat Weed with Maca Root x2/Creatine 5g
Usually here I eat Oatmeal with Cinnamon, Yogurt, Blueberries, Raspberries, Blackberries, Strawberries, Kiwi, and Peanuts and a Glass of Milk.
LUNCH: Adderall 5mg (Prescribed)/L-Arganine 1000mg/Beet Root 1000mg/Fish Oil 1000mg
Usually here I eat Grilled Chicken Salad with Spinach, Tomatoes, Cucumber, Red Onion, Bacon Crumble, Homemade Dressing (Olive Oil, Red Wine Vinegar, Minced Shallots, Ground Oregano, and Lemon Juice) and Feta Cheese
DINNER: Buspirone 7.5mg (Prescribed)/Beet Root 1000mg/Fish Oil 1000mg/L-Arganine 1000mg/Calcium 600mg/Gingko Baloba
Here I usually eat Fried Rice with Beef, Pork, Chicken, or Shrimp, Egg, Garlic, Shallots, Onions, Green Onions, Mushrooms, Jalapeños, Peanuts
Or
Meatball Linguine with Fire Red Roasted Tomato Sauce, Garlic, Yellow Onion, Bella Mushrooms, Butter, and Parmesan Cheese
3 Hours Before Bed: Gabapentin 600mg (Prescribed)
1 Hour Before Bed: Trazodone 150mg (Prescribed)
I lift weights 3-4 nights a week and run an hour on the treadmill every night I'm not lifting. After a workout I'll either eat more of the fried rice ive prepped, the Oatmeal, or a steak. I sleep at least 7 hours every night but usually 8 hours or more and I don't drink alcohol, smoke anything, or use caffeine. If I'm not drinking milk or a Lemonade I'm only drinking water.
How much of what I'm taking do you think is redundant and is there anything combination wise or timing wise I should change?

2024.05.22 00:47 pushpopsavior Am I depressed? (34M)

over the last few years I've lost interest in a lot of things.
I'm having issues doing things unless they need done. But I always do them.
I have no real energy ever and I think it's because I have no interest in anything. The lack of energy is my main concern. I see other people laughing and being wild, it seems exhausting to me lol
I had a more physical job and I didn't have an issue keeping up and actually preferred the more fast paced heavy lifting work, so I don't think I have any fatigue disorder. When I'm pushed I kind of feel my best. But I can't get myself motivated to get to that point of pushing myself.
My diet is clean and I don't have any deficiencies.
I've tried using things for more energy like coffee but it seems to do the opposite of what it does for everyone else. I end up feeling more lazy instead of productive or motivated.
I've lost nearly all interest in music which was always a big part of my life. Haven't gone to any concerts or even gone out at all in 2 years. I don't drink or do any drugs.
I'm not exactly sure what to think. I feel kind of lost. I have my son and wife but beyond that I've kind of cut ties with most "friends" because I stopped doing things.
Anyone have tips or advice?

2024.05.22 00:00 Recon_Figure At Work: When People Refuse To Complete Tasks Which Are "Too Inefficient" To Be Worth Doing

I feel like people get too obsessed with "working smarter, not harder" and will refuse to complete tasks which they feel are "too inefficient" to do, and then don't offer an alternative themselves, even if it's at the request of a client who provides revenue for the company and therefore pays their wages. Not to mention they hesitate and refuse to move on things because they are "too inefficient," yet they have no actual influence in their position on budgeting or prioritization.
I deal with data a lot at work, and I feel like sometimes it's like pulling teeth to get people to assist with tasks where they are the only people who have access to the data, and yet they won't grant access because they deem the request unnecessary and don't want to put in the two hours of work (or less) to complete it themselves.
In the same vein, people seem to have an attitude as though they are incapable of using the computer keyboard and copying over data manually. They act like it's some huge cost and burden for them to originate it or transfer it over from some other source if they can't migrate it all at once with some script, tool, or shortcut. They act like the world is going to end if they have to type or copy and paste it. Sometimes it's literally 3-5 steps manipulating data by formatting, joining and exporting a new table. It's not difficult, nor time-consuming.
Also, being obsessed with "smarter, not harder" may lead you to spend X hours trying to find a shortcut, when you could have started doing it manually immediately and been done in almost the same amount of time.
Some people blame it on generational deficiencies, but I won't bother doing that here. I'll just attribute it to laziness of the individual, because that's the impression I get every time this comes up.

2024.05.21 23:48 rose_writer My job is slowly killing me and my coworkers are blasting Rage Against The Machine while we work

Yes, these two things are somewhat related but not completely linked to each other. It also helps to keep in mind our supervisor is always around so he can hear whatever we listen to.
I can't name names because I am still employed and it's against our rules to say what might be deemed negative on solical media. However, it's a small one and it has a lot of the mismanagement and pseudo feudalism of any company like this. And they have only gotten worse since I got hired a few months ago. When it began, we were suing a paper system that relied on us to pull products by hand and mark it all down on the order sheets. It was more work but it was manageable. They had at the time promised to upgrade the system to digital and that this would make things easier and simpler for everyone. We prepared for the day and hoped it would work.
We started actually using it about a month ago. It shit the bed from day one and has only continued to roll around in the brown sheets as all the employees are forced to watch. Nothing works like it should, the system is a decade old and used software from 2014 as per the liscense information, only a handful of people having access to important features and there's no way to use it if that person is not there, and we are constantly fixing mistakes thanks to no longer having the system that had rules in place to make it easier for quality control. And everyday, a new problem arises and adds to the horrible way things are run. Like wrapping up products for shipment, only to have it unwrapped, "fixed", and put away until we have to repeat the process several more times before shipping out.
And thanks to it being ten hours a day and a night shift, the stress is not only making me want to do illegal things, I'm so deficient in some nutrients that my doctor (when I could get one after two months waiting for insurance) said I needed a special pill regimen to fix what caused me extreme fatigue, dizziness, skeletal pain, and fevers. All from dealing with the stress and overwork, and being unable to recover from the work week. And I'm not the only one. Like the other week when we had sixty hours and one day off. I didn't leave my bed for two days and no one was surprised or worried, it was almost expected.
Now we had QR codes that didn't work for the customers to check products in case of recalls, and we were told it would take all night to fix (it's still being fixed today by worker they brought from another plant). My coworkers and I were rightfully pissed and one threatened to send in their two weeks to the supervisor to his face. He just laughed, they did not. Talked to them after and both agreed to quit if the issue was that severe. This had several of my coworkers soon after beginning to blast RATM on the speakers because they got in a "fuck it" mood. I don't think the supervisor got the hint...

New Children's Hospital in Columbia set to open Thursday
MU Health Care administrators gave media a tour Tuesday of its new $232 million Children's Hospital on University Hospital's main campus. MU Health Care will officially cut the ribbon and open the hospital on Thursday.
The health care company previously consolidated its pediatric care at the Women's Hospital on Keene Street. Youth patients will now receive care at the new Children's Hospital, while women will receive care at various campus facilities, including University Hospital, after the Women's Hospital on Keene Street officially closes on June 10.
Keri Simon, interim chief operating officer for MU Health Care, said the location is "very important and very intentional."
"When we began this process, we said the only way we are going to measure success at the end is to take advantage and preserve all of the things that are special about being a children's hospital and keeping those things separate, but also taking advantage of all of things that are important about being attached to and close by all of those other services," Simon said.
The new neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) includes a state-of-the-art nutrition lab where specialists can mix formula and treat donor milk. It streamlines the process so nurses can pick up the milk/formula outside of the lab in refrigerators. The NICU at the Keene Street location only had 20 private rooms for babies, while the new NICU at the Children's Hospital has 62 private rooms.
Dr. Dana Bichianu runs the NICU at the Children's Hospital. She said the reason they tripled the number of private rooms is to bring babies and parents closer together, which can have a positive impact on the baby's health.
"Babies respond very well to their mother's, or parent's, touch. They like it when parents read to them, sing to them, and (they are) especially very comfortable and happy and grow well when parents provide skin-to-skin care," Bichianu said.
The pediatrics floor is designed so traditional rooms can be transformed into ICU rooms to meet patient demands. The ICU-designated rooms are larger to accommodate emerging medical technology that could take up more space.
The pediatrics floor at the new hospital has murals with animals painted on the walls.
Dr. Laura Hesemann, chair of pediatrics at MU Health Care, said these not only brighten the space and make it more inviting but also serve a practical purpose as psychologists can use the background to help young patients.
"This space was built from the ground up specifically for children, to keep in mind the needs of children and their families when they are in the hospital," Hesemann said.
The pediatrics unit includes a Ronald McDonald House lounge where parents and families have a kitchenette, washing machines and dryers, and even access to beds in the hospital. The Ronald McDonald House is opening its new building on College Avenue in June.
Simon said MU Health Care will continue to operate some outpatient surgeries at the Keene Street building for the near future, but plans for the long-term future of the building are not finalized. She said there are no active plans to sell or demolish the entire building, but added the organization could consider that in the future.
Simon added that all the employees from the Keene Street facility are now moving to the university campus facilities. She also said the company is hiring more employees than it had at Keene Street.

Sumatra Slim Belly Tonic manufacturers describe this supplement as a simple and effective weight loss solution. You can lose weight without dieting or significant exercise by taking formula daily.
The creators of this formula claim that you can continue to eat your favourite foods, avoid counting calories, and avoid strenuous exercise – all while losing weight.
Sumatra Tonic testimonials also allude to how users use the Sumatra oral powder formula to support healthy blood sugar and blood pressure levels.
It would help if you were sceptical whenever a nutritional supplement claims to lead to significant weight loss without much effort or dieting. Asking whether the Sumatra Slim Belly Tonic scam is real makes it interesting whether this is a fake weight loss supplement or a legitimate food.
Many Sumatra Slim Belly Tonic reviews by users are a satisfied chorus, praising this tonic for helping them achieve their weight loss goals naturally and organically.

It contains a powerful blend of ingredients, including Humulus lupulus and black cohosh. These plants have been used for years to relieve menopausal symptoms in women. At the same time, hibiscus reduces cravings for junk food and promotes a calorie deficit.
Sumatra Slim Belly Tonic also nourishes your skin from within, resulting in brighter and healthier skin. It includes lutein, a natural vitamin A form that protects against harmful high-energy light waves such as UV rays and promotes cell repair.
The prebiotic fibre, inulin, promotes a healthy gut microbiome and provides the nutrients your skin needs to look radiant and bright.
Chronic inflammation is a leading cause of weight gain and various health conditions. Sumatra Slim Belly Tonic contains ingredients such as berberine and lutein that support a healthy inflammatory response. This helps prevent toxic fat buildup and protects the body’s major organs from damage.

But some people who take Sumatra Slim Belly Tonic lose weight faster than they hoped, and if that’s the case for you, take half a scoop per day instead of a full scoop.

CONCLUSION

In conclusion, I highly recommend you prefer Sumatra Slim Belly Tonic! This supplement acts as the best weight loss supplement out there.
It helps you lose weight by combining plant extracts, herbs, vitamins, and nutrients your body requires to burn fat. Sumatra Slim belly Tonic is super powerful, and it tastes delicious.
I’m confident this Sumatra Slim belly Tonic will ultimately help offer you many health benefits. Trust me! In just days, you will look and feel sexy and fabulous in your health.
This formula doesn’t contain harmful and toxic chemicals like preservatives, fillers, or additives. So you need not worry about any side effects.
If you’re unsatisfied with your results, you can ask for a refund. This product comes with a full 100% money-back guarantee. No questions asked.
