When I was young before I came to the US we had guests in our apartment, Lagera, in Bulgaria.

A friend of my mother's or maybe it was my father's I really don't remember stayed as a guest after they had finished work. Anyway I was awake late at night and I had spoken with her during the daytime. She approached me in the living room and said "Oh God I have a fever from the cold. What should I do?? I have work tomorrow."

I told her that I think many diseases start from the lower body. She should put her feet in a bucket with salt and hot water running from the faucet in our bathroom. I told her that I think she might feel mild pain for a few minutes. It goes away. She continues running hot water into the bucket to keep it hot which overflows with the water going down the drain for 30 minutes to an hour at most. Then for her to dry her feet with a towel apply rubbing alcohol on them followed by putting on wool socks and last falling asleep in the guest room with lots of blankets. (We didn't have heating in Bulgaria this was the 90's.) By early morning her fever went away and I overheard her speaking with my father and mother. "Tosi chuvek moje da stane strahoten lechitel." [This person could become a great Doctor in his future.] She continued speaking "Nyama da povyarvate kak se chustvam vuv momenta." [You won't believe how I feel right now.] My father finally interrupted her and said that it's Saturday.

I never really learned much about medicine and I am no medical professional so everything I say can be taken extremely lightly but my method at removing her fever worked well. She didn't even sweat at night (I went in the guest room a few minutes after she had left it in the morning and noticed that the blankets were dry.) I guess a professional General Doctor would need to provide an explanation as to why this worked for my parents' colleague. (They had been friends since high school and there was something wrong with her apartment so she had asked them if she could stay at ours.) She had drank something cold and didn't think it would do anything before arriving to our apartment.

As summer is almost over and I've noticed the weather is colder I thought I would write this early. It might help people to not miss a day of work if you have a cold that you notice late at night after work. Some people work outside and others carelessly drink a cold fluid or we used to in the 90s near winter. Your sinuses start clearing up during the time your feet are in the bucket while running hot water from the bathtub faucet and you begin noticing that it's working. You should wear clothing for your upper body and shorts while doing this.

Later on the word spread and everyone in Bulgaria started doing this.

When I was a teenager I met with someone who I've become friends with. And this speech explains one of the reasons I said something to my father.

I was thinking of making it into an animation at the time but I can't draw very well so I just spoke to him on the sidewalk. "When something is newer..." [That he has a child now and the child has a parent] "...people don't know how to think" [Him and his newborn baby; I drew a big circle with my finger to explain it.] "...because they aren't used to it" [being a father and daughter] "They need more time to catch up to something that's older." [I looked toward him at this moment:] "I can't explain this part unless your parent were walking with you at the moment."

I guess adults could ask their parents how to raise their kids.

As I mentioned before during my youth I was overweight. Sometimes I ate because I like the way food tastes and sometimes just from stress. And yet I lost that weight because I did something ingenious from my appetite.

When me and my parents would buy food I asked them regularly if we could buy a different pizza or a different chips and sweets. If we could cook something different. A few times we went to restuarants. We were poor and now I guess we're average but we went to places we could afford (mcdonalds.) After a short while I had tried everything on the menu and so did my parents because we ate the same thing together that we ordered. My father because he wanted me to learn how to be social during childhood asked me to make the order and pay the cashier.

I guess our brain and body tries to save us sometimes. Even a person with an extremely healthy appetite can become within normal ranges through their own appetite.

Because after a while I had eaten such a large variety of different tasting dishes and combinations of sodas and foods together I thought I would explain my speech that I made a long time ago. I was overstimulated through tasting so many things during my life. One day my mother was cooking. My father was annoyed with me by this point. And she just asked "Are you hungry?" And I answered "No." My father said loudly "Finally!"

I stopped drinking large amounts of fluids and lowered the amount of food I eat. Not exactly the amount but the frequency. And I was on the verge of being a teenager. So I started losing lots of weight. My heart increased with strength and stamina and durability because it wasn't overworked.

If I can give this advice to all overweight people worldwide it would be this. You are not that fat. And while you're young you should never deprive yourself of food. I don't know anything about psychology or the world in reality but I think from my experience many people's brains and bodies function the same way. At one point me and my parents even tried different breads at the bakery. And because the taste center in my brain had become so endowed my brain told me that it's time to stop. I've had enough of what I craved which wasn't food... it was to taste things and many people who have obesity think the same exact way in reality.

I think the US has done something great. The country has the largest amount of food production in the world but also the largest variety. When I was young I thought to myself that sometimes grocery stores fail because they also sell things that are expensive that taste richer or better. And yet very few people buy them. Then someone buys it and it's expired. Buying something with a higher price regularly will not harm your finances if it's only one thing that's not on the shopping list or two. But in time it could help you. People try different diets or weight loss programs with shakes that are pure chemistry. This is a negative way of thinking and yet for some people it works. Others gain the weight back soon after.

I gained a better body. I felt like a puma when I walked and when I re-introduced a bottle of cold water in my diet it even felt like a high because my body wasn't overloaded from fluids. I was athletic. Not that muscular but in great shape for my age. Water. A high for a person in great shape yet a legal high which lasts about 15 minutes since the moment you begin drinking a regular bottle of cold water and makes you feel a bit colder in your body instead of warming up which is a sign of unhealthiness. I even drank it quickly. And I never gained the weight back. If the body is overloaded with food and drink intake it digests things slower. If you lose the weight and are in tip-top shape you can even eat more food, because you have less mixture of stomach acid and fluids in your stomach while continuing to stay in tip top shape. You shouldn't increase frequency but more in one meal that leaves you feeling incredibly full.

If more people spend more money on food with a slightly bigger price then less stores end up going out of business. And I've noticed that when it happens and a new store is made in that area the prices of even regular bread are a bit more expensive. I'm not the best person at giving advice but I think we should listen to exactly what our minds and bodies say we need. You should eat as much as you feel you need and the food that you want to so that you can save your heart in the future by getting in shape.

As time passes and that happens I gained the philosophy that taste is a good thing but we should eat to live and not live to eat and it kept going. The only reason I went into the negative after college is loneliness. A bad reason.

When I was young my mother said to me "You won't believe how intelligent you become if you learn how to do something simple by yourself."

As of a while ago we have automated cash registers. A person is still working there but his job is simple and he makes enough for food and rent because he can work longer. His job is to show some of the new customers how to use it. Unlike a cashier who has to move thousands of products a day through a scanner.. each person uses their arms for a short time to scan what's in their cart at costco. I think this is really intelligent and kind of a store to do because it doesn't wear anyone out and with years people may even gain some strength in their arms based on what they buy regularly.

When I was young before I came to the US my father explained how different foods grow in farms in Bulgaria.

I asked him "What if instead of all the work a farmer does to make food better by going around with different sprays and nutrients he were to put them in the water that pipes carry to water the plants. By mixing it in he saves time and energy to walk through the field. He could easily use machinery but that uses gasoline. All he has to do is let the pipes work for him.

The plant only takes in what it needs and the soil takes the rest of things. He could even create (with time this was the 90s) liquids that are like fertilizer and feed the soil with nutrients before each season when the plants start to grow.

He liked to speak to many people at a Bulgarian Church in New York and he had a great memory. He may have told all of them and he may have not spoken about anything but I thought I would write it. For a few weeks before I moved on I actually wanted to be a farmer. To grow more food for everyone in Bulgaria so that all of us can eat by doing this. Mixing everything needed to help grow food in the water carried to the plants because a pump is very strong and doesn't use much electricity or gasoline.

And we've learned from past things. (Previously we spoke about water and how much money it costs for electricity to cool water in the summer compared to a fan or air conditioner.)

P.S. I have eyesight problems. Hopefully no one edits this. I was thinking I would talk about it with my peer counselor some day.

When I was young I spoke with my father. He had turned on the Air Conditioning in my room while I played an mmorpg.

Anyway I turned it off in a few minutes and he walked back in in an hour and asked me why. I said it was to save money and we got into a discussion.

In Bulgarian language "A person usually stays in one spot in their apartment. I think it would be better if I use a fan or if they combined a fan with a miniature air conditioner so it saves money."

He smiled and patted my head and I had mild sweat. I walked in his room and came up with the theory that people who are in warmer climates have less acne than in colder ones because sweat has salt in it so when someone sweats during summer their pores become dry. He was laying in his bed with shorts and a t shirt on and thought about it.

Unfortunately as there's global warming later on I used the AC more often and just like I thought I might get acne... I got acne.

I've read a few posts from a while ago. Some older people say that "sweat is healthy and you can use a fan, even a strong fan but no one should be using the AC."

When I was in school we were studying biblical times. I learned that people ate bread and fish and asked a question that could change history, literally.

"Did they eat eggs?" I took a pause and said "You see, professor, because bread of made eggs."

I made the other students smile and I hope I've been able to do the same for some of the people on newgrounds. I really don't know why they smiled when I explained it.

Edit: I remembered the memory wrong.

When I was in HS in the final grade a girl liked me and I didn't like her. I explained to her why and calmed her and after a few days I noticed that she started having acne, similar to the way I had acne when the same thing happened to me.

I think this is hormonal which is a reason why teenagers upon reaching 18 should find a girlfriend. The longer time you don't have someone... the more acne you have. If you see someone with a lot of acne: They're lonely.

Of course I am no medical professional so anything I say can be taken lightly.

When I was young before I came to the US I spoke with my parents.

They were sitting in the living room at the table and looking at eachother's faces.

Anyway I asked where we get food from. If it comes from men or women and then asked how an egg is made. My mother smiled. It got me thinking about the world as if it's a mathematical equation and all things are tied into it perfectly well.

Originally when we are born we eat from the food our mother eats while in their womb. Maybe God is trying to tell us that food should come from women as the mother is always a female.

When people drink milk, or eat yogurt or cheese it's from a female cow. These three foods are a staple and so are eggs from chickens.

I've noticed from my life although I personally don't approve of eating meat. That chicken or beef is healthy but for example if someone eats too much pork they have problems with their body, maybe it's because pork is made from both male and female livestock.

That based on how we were made God wants us to eat food from plants, trees, and fruit that is of the feminine gender. Similar to what people say about earth "Mother Earth, the planet that gives us life and health."

I spoke with my Doctor for permission to post this so I doubt I would have any problems for doing so.

In the case someone disagrees with it the only thing I can do is quote a song I heard once. "And we all give the power. We all give the best. Every minute of an hour. Don't think about the rest. Oh Life is life."

I don't believe there's a problem with writing this. It's just a memory. I was young and interested in learning about the world.

Of course: I am not a medical professional so anything I write can be taken extremely lightly. And we still don't know if plants and trees have a gender -at all- but it may help people live longer lives and develop more if we followed this philosophy.

Post Scriptum: In the case this seems annoying I guess I can add a little bit to it towards food from the masculine gender sources. Science has shown that women live longer than men. Men have more physical strength. Women have a higher constitution. Men have more dextirity. So pork may not necessarily be a bad food, in moderation. It depends what you want from life.

If we were created by a higher power I would imagine the other things that resemble us, gender wise, would have similar properties. For example a masculine gender fruit would give you more masculinity and vise versa.

Post Post Scriptum:

I doubt anyone is still reading this but the only food I can make an educated guess on being masculine would be pineapples. They have bromelain which can aid in the production of testosterone. I imagine it because they have a hard peel and leaves.

Why am I still doing this?

When I was young in Bulgaria before I came to the US because I had thought that fertility soup was too thick and asked my parents to add fresh lemon juice to it I asked my mother something.

"What if we could use lemon juice in dishes for elderly people so that they can eat food which is solid but they have difficulty chewing because of the state of their teeth or fake teeth by making it softer?"
