There are very confusing messages about what we should eat to be healthy, and this is especially so for those who have chronic health conditions like diabetes. All of the research I have done suggests that low-carb is the way to go (for both good general health and especially for those with blood sugar control problems / diabetics). Think keto or carnivore. And the healthiest food you can eat? Red meat! Yes, it goes against the message that it is the mainstream media but this really does seem to be the healthiest way to eat. There is a lot of really good information FROM DOCTORS on YouTube. As someone diagnosed diabetic, you might like to check out Dr Ken Berry or Dr Jason Fung or Dr Aseem Malhottra on YouTube as a good place to start.

"over 3 million monthly users" I'd love to know what this means, and what the source of this is. Monthly users is a strange metric. Does this mean 3 million people tune in every month? I can't imagine that to be the case.

Agreed. TheThaiger is known for copying other people's work and passing it off as their own.

So what's the plan? Will the server get an overhaul? It really is very slow. Will there be a rebranding? ThaiVisa was generally well-regarded while I think the rebranding to ASEANNow didn't work out so well and has been fraught with technical issues. What about moderation? Will this be a place where jokers are encouraged? Will the moderation be heavy-handed? Will it be a place for freedom of speech? Or will it just be more of the same....?

The announcement was ridiculous puffery and yes, the real story would be much more interesting.

It sounds like all of that stuff might fit in a taxi / private car. That might be a cheaper way to go than hiring a moving service.

With regards to diabetes, carbs and fruit are most certainly a problem. Diabetes is essentially carbohydrate toxicity. Eat enough high-sugar fruit and you will become diabetic! The problem with fruit is that some varieties are very high in sugar. A little fruit is fine. A lot of fruit most certainly is not, especially if you are already consuming a high-carb diet.

I take Stinging Nettle Root Extract when I suffer from allergies. Coincidentally, my prostate health is all good. Is it related to my use of Stinging Nettle Root? I honestly don't know - but one of the things it says on the bottle is "For Prostate Health". It's a good supplement and very cheap so it's certainly worth trying!

There's a protocol to treat H Pylori which is usually Omeprazole + two antibiotics (commonly, but not always, Amoxicillin & Metronidazole). Follow the protocol exactly as per your doc's instructions otherwise this pesky bacteria will stick around. H Pylori often becomes an issue with dysbiosis (where the mix of bacteria and fungi in your gut is out of balance). This can happen for many reasons but is commonly due to excessive past use of antibiotics. Good luck dealing with this and for sure, it is worth getting tested once you have completed the protocol to make sure the treatment has been successful.

Neither.

Once again, you're wrong. New Zealanders get a 30 day visa waiver.

Really? That is the information currently posted on the Thai embassy website. Do you know better than they do?

This is the visa fees schedule at the website of the Thai Embassy in Wellington. Pages 1 and 2 are in Thai. Pages 3 and 4 in English. Compare them with the prices any other nationality pays for a visa. https://image.mfa.go.th/mfa/0/Ty8J7f4hKr/Consular_service_fee_2024.pdf

Possibly the reason is because more Thais did physical labour in the past.

It's slow for sure, so it can be an idea to open multiple pages at once and then when you've finished reading one, go to another that is already open. As for the ads, there are many different ad-blockers and browser configurations that can reduce the "psychedelic look" that ASEANNow favours.
