![]() ![]() Patients taking oral or inhaled steroids may develop Candida infections in the oropharynx and esophagus. Fungal infections, from Candida or other fungi, frequently occur on the nails or skin. This is not to say that fungal infections do not take place in the body. Much of the misinformation I encounter on Candida infections focuses on selling a story that encourages people to blame Candida overgrowth as the cause of their symptoms and undertake expensive or complicated dietary and supplement regimens to “cure” the infection. In a 2021 ISAPP presentation on the gut mycobiome, I provided a clinical perspective on fungal infections and the related evidence base. Some articles aim to counter the hype – for example, an article titled “Is gut Candida overgrowth actually real, and do Candida diets work?” Yet patients are too often confused about the evidence on Candida and other fungi in the GI tract. Even cookbooks exist with recipes specifically tailored to “cure” someone of Candida infection through dietary changes. Their insistence is perhaps not surprising, given how many many websites and social media ‘gurus’ share lists of symptoms supposedly tied to Candida infections. Patients experiencing a range of symptoms, including digestive problems, sometimes believe they have an overgrowth of Candida in their gastrointestinal (GI) tract and want to know what to do about it. Eamonn Quigley, MD, The Methodist Hospital and Weill Cornell School of Medicine, HoustonĪs a gastroenterologist, I frequently meet with patients who are adamant that a Candida infection is the cause of their ailments. This was the puzzle piece she was missing! She worked with one of our holistic health experts to eliminate her infections, and she instantly hit a new healthy level she lost more weight, belly problems disappeared, aches & pains diminished, and her headaches went away.By Prof. No amount of healthy gut-loving foods were going to eliminate her infections. When she ran a GI-MAP gut health test, she discovered that she was full of parasites and other unfriendly microbes. No matter how well she continued to eat and take care of herself, she couldn’t lose the rest of the weight, couldn’t totally resolve her tummy problems, and she still had a lot of aches & pains. Her energy boosted, her diarrhea stopped, her belly was no longer in pain, and she slimmed down.īut she quickly hit a plateau. Suddenly nearly everything she ate was home-cooked from scratch and within a few months, her health was very different. She went from pizza & pasta to regularly cooking veggies she didn’t even know the names of. So she took a stand for herself and changed her diet radically. She wasn’t living, she was simply surviving. But her list of ailments was long enough to fill 3 full sheets of paper. She only knew how to stab the cellophane and toss her frozen meal into the microwave. The strategy to address candida or other chronic infections is simple:Īt 30 years old, Natalie didn’t know what healthy eating was. They produce toxins that damage our gutįriendly bacteria do the opposite – they help us digest our food & absorb nutrients, and they produce byproducts that are nourishing to the gut. They steal our nutrients & create a deficit of nutrientsĢ. But if any of those mechanisms have been suppressed for any reason – stress, a diet high in processed foods, antacids, autoimmunity – it paves the way for unfriendly species to make their way into the gut & become the dominant species.Ģ reasons Chronic Infections Cause Problemsġ. Healthy levels of stomach acid neutralize most microbes, and the immune system and gut microbiome tackle whatever makes it past the stomach and deeper into the gut. In a healthy person, the immune system and digestive system both do a great job preventing most infections from taking hold. Once a candida infection takes hold, it can be challenging to conquer without a targeted holistic approach that addresses not only the overgrowth itself, but also the factors that created the overgrowth in the first place. In the modern world, we tend to give candida a lot of opportunities to thrive. But it will thrive & grow out of control if given the right conditions. In a healthy person, candida does no harm. Fungi are everywhere – in the air, growing on the surface of fruits (think of that white-ish film on the surface of a plum or grape), and they’re found in every human gut.Ĭandida is an opportunistic yeast. What do toenail fungus, mushrooms, and mold all have in common? Each is a type of fungus. ![]()

![]() ![]() First off, thanks to reader “Goats” for poking me. I needed a kick up the arse to get back to this blog thing. In August of last year I mentioned in passing that I fitted a solid state drive to an old 2006 iPod Video (aka 5th generation). So I guess the first question is, why would anyone in their right mind want to be using an iPod which is nine years old!? Its bigger than an iPhone, has no touch screen, and small kids would probably point at it and laugh, if they weren’t too busy staring at the device in their hands to actually notice the real world go by. This adapter allows you to convert your iPod Video (5th/5.5 gen) and iPod Classic (6th/6.5/7th Gen) from using a hard drive to using compact flash cards. I did it because I care that when listening to music, I can enjoy the deep bass and high highs of the music, which are thrown out with the bathwater by your average mp3. I spent a while back in 2008 ripping every single CD I owned to FLAC loss-less audio format, and then promptly started to curse every car stereo maker in the world for the lack of FLAC support for 6 freaking years, until some finally started appearing on the market. Home hifi wasn’t an issue as our HTPC could play FLAC out via its digital interface through the receiver, and much good quality music listening was done, but portable audio wasn’t happening. When we finally bought a car with a native usb iPod interface, I decided that instead of more cursing about FLAC, it was time to investigate ALAC, the Apple loss-less format – so I batch-converted all my FLACs into ALAC format too, and tried them out on an old iPod I bought. Great, except your average 30GB iPod’s capacity is just not adequate, and neither are all the current iPhones, iPads etc. ![]() I dug through some forums and discovered that people were installing bigger hard drives (yes, actual spinny mechanical drives, crazy, I know!) into old iPods for extra capacity. I snorted, and figured there would be a better way, and came across people putting Compact Flash cards into early iPod Mini’s. Have you seen the price of Compact Flash cards lately? Oh Em Gee. Product: One iFlash CF Card plus one SD-CF Converter.For those seeking solid state storage capabilities for their iPod, the iFlash-CF allows you to install and use CF Compact Flash Cards.With much lower power consumption than the original Hard drive, longer runtimes and quicker user interface. So I wisely decided to go with SSD… $100 and a used 250GB mSATA drive later, I was ready to roll. Remember, the goal here is to make an iPod I could just chuck in the glove box and leave there attached permanently via umbilical to the car’s stereo, so cheap was the way to go. So why the 5th Gen iPod?Īdvantages of these old iPods is twofold.įirst, their electronics. They’re actually the last generation of iPod to use the acclaimed Wolfson DAC (Digital to Analogue Converter – the chip which turns 1’s and 0’s into beautiful harmony). ![]() If you’re an audio nerd, you might even appreciate the numbers on the device, SNR 94dB and THD 0.0034% (courtesy of this site here). Are there any CF-SD adaptors that DO support the power management? That’s a much cheaper route than trying to find a 256GB CF card.The various iPhones can’t hold a candle to it. Thanks for that-nice to finally have an answer. Quote from: speachy on February 28, 2021, 10:01:37 AM -I strongly suspect the decreased battery life is a side-effect of the data corruption fixes, which basically prevent powering down the iPod's storage subsystem.Īh, makes sense. The corruption was a result of killing power too early, so to be safe we never power it down when the storage device doesn't claim to support power management) (the iFlash adapters don't properly support the standard ATA power management commands, so Rockbox has no way of knowing when it's actually safe to kill power. I strongly suspect the decreased battery life is a side-effect of the data corruption fixes, which basically prevent powering down the iPod's storage subsystem. I'd go with a 128GB CF card but those cost more than I've spend on the entire iPod setup so far.Īnyone using a CF-SD card adapter with Rockbox and getting decent battery life? If so, what model adapter are you using? Other posts on the interwebs indicate the iFlash CF-SD adapter may be to blame. This was determined by playing the same MP3 album on repeat in both OS's. I'm using the iFlash CF-SD adapter and my battery life in Rockbox is absolutely atrocious.

"The only things you have to think about are moving, eating, drinking, sleeping and going to the toilet. So how exactly do you survive a race that is deliberately designed to break you physically, mentally and emotionally? "But I do want them to go through hell to get there." The Tunnel claims another victim ![]() "I don't want there to be no finishers," says Cockbain. Of the 31 runners who started the inaugural Tunnel, only two completed it, and 13 in total in the three years it has been in existence. If you're looking to be pampered, you've come to the wrong place."Īll of which adds up to a notoriously low finish rate. You run from one end to the other in a straight line, turn around a traffic cone, come back again, and just keep going. "The Tunnel is pure, unadulterated running. "It's nice that there isn't any nonsense," he says. I wanted to make it all about the running."įor Mike Raffan, a 43-year-old IT manager from Aberdeen who finished second in 2021, that's part of the appeal. "You can get through any of these races with a bit of water and food. "I cut back on delicacies," says Cockbain in the matter-of-fact style for which he has become famous in the ultra-running community. If you're lucky, they might not be out of date. Refreshments are limited to water and tea, while the most luxurious snacks are Pot Noodles. They must all share a portable toilet which, by the end of the weekend, would not look out of place at a music festival. There is no shelter or rest area to speak of unless runners have the foresight to bring a camping chair. A fold-up table outside one end of the tunnel serves as race HQ. "As soon as I got permission to use the tunnel, it was a no-brainer." "I like things that have got an X-factor," says Cockbain, a prolific former ultra-runner who set up the Tunnel in 2019 to add to his brilliant yet brutal portfolio of events as a race organiser. It is the UK's longest foot tunnel - and the obvious setting for an ultra-marathon if your name is Mark Cockbain. "You have to stand one behind another in a queue." Runners make the most of daylight during the race briefing before spending a weekend in darknessĬombe Down was restored as a cycle path in 2013 after 47 years under weeds. "Even the start line is weird," says Mauduit. No more than 40 runners make it that far, partly because of a strict - and deliberately opaque - qualification process and largely because the tunnel is not big enough to accommodate many more. The race takes place in Combe Down Tunnel, a mile south of Bath city centre, and starts at 4pm on a Friday in March. I'm still that little kid."īettinson describes every ultra-marathon start line as a "mid-life crisis anonymous meeting". It's like a little kid - they want to see how close they can come to the fire. "If you can push your mind further than you think is possible, it's quite empowering."Ĭhristian Mauduit, a French software engineer who won the 2021 edition, says: "I'm chasing that internal adventure - that meeting with myself. ![]() You're not getting from A to B, which makes it such a massive mental challenge," says Andy Persson, another finisher that year. "I'd rather waste my weekend putting myself through misery." ![]() Or do I want to be in a dripping tunnel, tired and miserable, knowing I've got work on Monday?" Guy Bettinson, a 45-year-old programme manager from Cumbria who won the Tunnel in 2020, wonders out loud. "I could be sat on the sofa watching Strictly with the wife and kids. It is more health warning than marketing slogan. The Tunnel website external-link describes it as "a mind-bending test of extreme endurance and sensory deprivation". Oh, and there is a strict time limit of 55 hours. No outside support is permitted, headphones are banned and runners are not allowed to run side by side. But nowhere else can you take part in a race so twisted that you spend more than two days in darkness doing a one-mile shuttle run 200 times, or so punishing that one runner went temporarily blind - then thanked the race organiser for the privilege. Some even involve repeating the same loop for days on end. The Tunnel Ultra is a race like no other. ![]() That doesn't quite cut it for some people, who choose to run a 200-mile ultra-marathon in a disused railway tunnel instead. ![]() ![]() ![]() When you press any of the six, yes that’s right, SIX, interaction buttons, instead of jumping, you pull out a ladder that can only be climbed at specific interaction points. The other downside? Not all of the costumes have the ability to jump! So take for example a costume that turns you into a firefighter. The downside? You can only hold three at a time. These range from being able to slam the ground, to floating in the air, to firing cannons from your body. In each area of the game you’re in, you find yourself needing to acquire costumes that have special powers in order to progress through the level. ![]() When it comes to the gameplay, this is where it becomes a bit questionable with the design choices. But I’ll be honest, I have no idea because I didn’t bother to start up a new file to see because the game only registers one save file at a time, so I would’ve lost all my progress just to see, unless I made a random account on my PlayStation to check. Even some of the cutscenes play like a slideshow.Ĭonsidering at the start of the game you get to choose who your character is, a boy or a girl, I believe they each sort of have their own “story” as to how they stumble upon Balan, thus having their own special conclusion. Are those stories ever super deep? No not at all, only because there’s no dialogue in the game apart from the opening cinematic. From the lady who felt powerless to stop a forest from getting destroyed to make way for homes, to a lady who couldn’t quite paint that perfect picture, so she got depressed, it all somehow tells a story. Though the story is kind of lacking in the game, each new world of the game sort of tells a bit of a story when you finish them. But what if you found someone to help you conquer those fears, plus help others recover from the spiral they fell into? Well now you can thanks to a weird mysterious person known as Balan! They whisk you off to a weird world, fraught with silly costumes and beautiful areas, all to help others.

(Eminem's dad) died of a heart attack at age 67. On second thought, I just fuckin' wish he would die!" On June 26, 2019, Marshall Bruce Mathers Jr. In "Cleanin' Out My Closet", Eminem raps about how his father had walked out on him and his mother when he was little, with such lyrics as "Wonder if he even kissed me goodbye? / No, I don't.In "Fast Lane", Royce Da 5'9" says "You let me take a shovel, dig up the corpse of Jack Kevorkian".The song originally intended Slim to be an Allegorical Character for fame and drug addiction, but the song now seems to make him into an allegory for her conservatorship. "Same Song and Dance", a song where Slim Shady murders Britney Spears, becomes significantly darker as more has emerged about the abuse she experienced, with the hook analogising her screams of pain and struggling to the way she sings and dances for her fans.Both albums contain multiple swipes at Amy Winehouse as a gross, drug-addicted trainwreck.Both "Kim" and his defense of the song become even more disturbing with the revelation that the song humiliated Kim so much that she attempted suicide after a particularly cruel performance. ![]() ![]() ![]() Rihanna's role in all of this is interesting though."

In the music video for "Without Me", a fat old Elvis dying while taking a shit is depicted as another incarnation of Slim Shady.During the first verse of "Without Me", Eminem raps, "A little bit of weed mixed with some hard liquor/Some vodka that'll jump start my heart quicker/Than a shock when I get shocked at the hospital/By the doctor when I'm not co-operating." Five years later, he wound up in the hospital from a near-fatal overdose."Drug Ballad" is a wry and witty Age-Progression Song about Eminem wrecking his life with drugs, which becomes extremely dark in retrospect.Eminem's 2009 album Relapse contains a serious audio drama of Mr Mathers's overdose as a lead-in to the Sincerity Mode portion of the album. In the 1997 song "Low Down, Dirty", Slim punningly begs for help "before I OD on an LP".After Eminem's addiction, Creator Breakdown, overdose and brain damage caused by drugs, it turns out you really, really shouldn't do drugs. Slim Shady's first words on his first major label studio album is to say, at the end of the Public Service Announcement Album Intro Track, "Don't do drugs".Most of his songs about drugs become this in light of his overdose.Even scarier is that despite Proof being alive at the time, he wasn't even on the song, which could mean that in the song's story, he did get shot. Proof's death two years later made this song even scarier than it already was.
