Hello people, Can anyone give some recommendations for a good B-Complex? Preferably without any vitamin C in it. I was taking Jarrow B-Right, which was great, I had no reactions to it, but I ordered another bottle recently and unfortunately the company reformulated the vitamin. They now use a ”glucosamine salt” form of folate, which is supposedly superior, but I have bad hypoglycemia and glucosamine seems to just increase the amount of insulin in my system which obviously makes the hypoglycemia worse. So yeah, I would rather switch to something else if I could.   [End]

If ”forever and ever” doesn’t actually mean exactly what it says, but rather a finite period of time, then believers who are saved will not experience eternal life either. Many passages that talk of eternal damnation also mention eternal life as a contrast. I reject annihilationism mainly for this reason. Death cannot come to the believers who overcome and are raised to life eternal.   [End]

There is another street evangelist named Pete Cabrera Jr. who has vids on Youtube; I’ll get the link up in a few. Anyways, he was demonstrating the Kingdom of God to this athiest guy in a pub somewhere in the UK, and Pete was commanding the guy’s leg to grow out, and return, etc. It was doing as he commanded it. After a minute of that, he told the athiest guy to speak to it and try it, and he did try and nothing happened. It looked like he kinda freaked because of this, but it was clear to him that God had power flowing through Christians, as opposed to unbelievers. The guy ended up get ...

No, because the only people who can exercise spiritual gifts and power are those who have received the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit doesn’t reside in unbelievers. The sons of Sceva is a good biblical example of this.   [End]

By the way, I don’t know what doctrines of man you’re talking about? Because I said ”modalism”? This is just the name for the idea that God has different faces/roles. I used to believe this also, but I believe it conflicts with what the Word ...

Very interesting points. Yes, the Holy Spirit is God, but I disagree that the Father and Son are roles; that sounds like modalism. One God, three persons. Like in marriage, there are two persons, but they are ONE flesh. That is interesting what you said about the child, etc. You’re talking about Hagar and Ishmael. So, if we don’t follow the leading of the Spirit in some instance, you’re saying we’re doomed?   [End]

Hello people, What is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit? If you were unsure of the source of certain manifestations in a church, and basically determined it was a false spirit (like kundalini), and told people it was kundalini, have you blasphemed the Holy Spirit if it turned out that the manifestations were actually not a false spirit, but actually from God? If so, would God still be drawing you, after having blasphemed?

Be aware (beware) that yoga is not purely a physical health regime. It’s a spiritual form of worship to hindu gods/demons.

Ashwaganda it is. That answer made a lot of sense, and fits perfectly with my issues. I know you recommend powder over tinctures. I think I’ll go with that because I react to alcohol. If I have digestive issues, wouldn’t there be issues getting it into my body? Also, what is the typical dose that I should work up to?   [End]

My blood pressure doesn’t seem too bad right now. Unfortunately, I have another problem. I’ve noticed today that I’ve been feeling more hypoglycemic than usual, and when I eat, I feel full really quickly, and it feels like it’s getting worse. Poor digestion? Low stomach acid again? Thankfully I still have those betaine HCL tablets, which also cause some hypoglycemia unfortunately, but I only take a small piece of the tablet that causes what feels like moderate hypoglycemia, but it does seem to help my digestion for a couple of days. Until now, it has been fine for the past week an ...

So on Tuesday afternoon I was feeling bizarre as is somewhat usual lately. Went outside and laid on a blanket for about 10 minutes to get some vitamin D since it wasn’t very hot outside. I guess I’m still heat sensitive somewhat because I got kinda dizzy. Came back in and rested, etc. I developed a head cold in the late morning/early afternoon also. I was sneezing and sneezing and sneezing. Tickly nose irritation and my nose was just running and running like water. Pretty aggravating. I rarely get flu’s and colds these days. At some point in the day, I stuck my head in the cold shower ...

Awesome, thanks for the reply. I think I’m going to try some tomorrow or the day after now.   [End]

About feeling bad because of the quick drop, yeah, I agree. In the past I used to get horrible symptoms when it would drop down into the mid and low 80s. Now they come in the 60s. But I feel like I’ve gotten worse with the numbers overall. I used to see numbers like 112 after a meal last year, now I don’t. My highest numbers are in the early morning before I’ve eaten, while my body is apparently burning off it’s own reserves. I noticed I lose bodyfat quickly whenever I’m able to go longer between meals. Ketosis? Looking at my numbers though, it’s like something shifted the whole thin ...

Here are the numbers on my glucose meter, measured from mid-February until today. Some of the numbers are at small intervals, like 30 minutes apart. There are some pretty quick drops in there too. At the beginning of the third line, for example, there is a 91 followed by a 61. Those were taken 45 minutes apart. Another one like that happened today, from 88 to 62 in 40 minutes. It’s been a rough day. Most of the lower numbers were taken right before I began eating. I’m afraid of the number getting lower and lower, and I don’t like the symptoms of anxiety, or worse, when it starts maki ...

Hey, thanks for the reply. I’ll look into a nutritionist. I don’t have any money at all though, so the doctors I’ve been seeing are just at the local clinic, paid by state medical insurance. I’d probably see others if I could, but I just can’t afford anything. As far as the eggs, yeah, the eggs I’ve been starting to eat are Land O Lakes eggs. Not organic, but better than some others around. I also eat them (the yolk) raw. I have no problem with raw eggs at all, I agree with what you’ve said.   [End]

Hey, I forgot to ask you, but what brand of pork rinds do you eat? They’re usually deep-fried; the deep frying doesn’t mess with you?   [End]

Also, on another note, are you constipated? Like backed up into your intestines possibly? I am. I read something about gut flora and b vitamin synthesis and wondering how much of a direct correlation there is to this hypoglycemia and food/substance reactions.   [End]

You should try taking the Pantothenic acid. I got pantethine because it’s less processing for my body, but that one didn’t feel suppressive at all, in fact it felt stimulating, so don’t take too much at first because you might crash later. Every time I take it, it’s still the tip-of-the-toothpick amount. You should start small with that one too. By the way, maybe you should lower the amount of magnesium you are taking. Even though 400 mgs is the RDA, I only take 50 because I’m probably deficient in all minerals and taking the RDA of only one mineral is going to jack up the mineral balan ...

I’ve gotten blood drawn several times recently and I didn’t notice anything like that happening. I had blood drawn while fasting about a month ago and it didn’t make my blood sugar any worse either. They took like 5 vials. I did feel kinda weak and thirsty afterwards. Just bring some food with you, but I’m positive you’ll be fine.   [End]

Yeah, you could be right, that could be the reason. It’s odd though. Thanks for the suggestion about the chicken liver, I’m going to look for some. I used to eat beef liver occasionally last year, but started reacting to it. As far as small meals, I try to eat only enough to raise the blood sugar sufficiently and hold me out without overstraining my body from too much food. So I usually am eating 1 1/2 - 2 chicken thighs every two hours all day from like 10 AM in the morning to 12 AM at night and sometimes as late as 1:30 AM.   [End]
