BTOX: Testing Yourself for Dangerous Toxins and GI Diseases

Health and medicine used to be much harder. Doctors were actually operating in the dark, never knowing about the world of cells, viruses, and bacteria. Today, the world of medicine is a very different one. Doctors now have thousands of tests to determine what's wrong with us.

One of the biggest problems with detection, however, even in this age, is that all the tests are done at clinics and hospitals, meaning we the person must first DETECT a problem or a symptom with ourselves. Often, by the time a symptom manifests strongly enough for us to finally realize something is truly wrong - the problem has already gotten much, much worse.

For example, take the case of stomach problems. Did you know over 52% of people over the age of 40 report suffering from CONTINUOUS gut and stomach pain or discomfort? That percent continues to climb as we advance in age. Most of us just shrug it off and blame food or bad digestion. We try to vary our diet and tell ourselves the discomfort is a bit better while most of the time it continues.

Common symptoms that occur continuously can be bloating, constipation, diarrhea, Crohn's Disease, IBS and other digestive issues we deal with. The biggest problem is these GI problems are linked to other issues such as skin conditions and autoimmune disease or even psychological disorders such as anxiety and depression. The stomach is a nerve center and can affect the rest of the body in a thousand different ways.

We're fortunate though because we live at an age where medical tests are now starting to be offered as home kits. These kits can be ordered and easily performed at home, allowing us to find medical problems we didn't even know we had, and at a much earlier stage.
Years of eating food left in the open and food that has gone through unwashed hands or just unlucky enough to be near toxins at some point. Most of these toxins get washed away with our urine, but a certain group of toxins do not go anywhere but sink into your guts and stomach, staying and building up in your body. 

For GI problems, we now have tests that can be taken at home. These tests are called BTOX tests and they give actual clarity about the situation in your gut by screening it and identifying the exact food sensitivities that trigger your autoimmune and chrnoic illnesses. The test provides you with a crucial list of foods are good for your personal digestive system and those that are destroying on your guts – and that should be avoided at all costs. 

his is something we highly recommend doing for yourself and the adults in your family. You receive a home test you can conduct easily on your own, then you just fill up a questionnaire and send it back with your collected sample in order to receive a full analysis of your biochemistry, warning as to potential problems, and a nutritional plan designed individually to correct the issue. It's never too early to catch something that may affect your entire life unless stopped. The BTOX test comes with a detailed nutritional plan after finding out what exactly is wrong with your GI.

How to Change Your Mundane Life in Six Steps

I'm in a slump, feeling stuck in the lowest of moods, afraid that I've got nothing more to offer, waiting for this period of unhappiness to subside. I remind myself to be patient, to keep in mind what past experiences have taught me. Despite this dwindling feeling I currently cannot shake off, I tell myself that that I will be on the upswing soon. Once I wrap my head around this ray of hope, and with a little soul searching, I dig deep into the issues that are contributing to my current state of unhappiness and the things that I could do to overcome it.

Through past experience, I have learnt that though certain circumstances can make my life unhappy. A part of that, and more often than not, a big part, comes from my own thinking, behavior and habits. I have learnt much from these six life-changing habits: 

1. Comparing your life and what you have to others
Comparing what others have in relation to what you have - cars, houses, jobs, clothes, money... can really work a number on your self-esteem, creating a lot of negative feelings.
Change your habit by comparing yourself to yourself. Take a look at how far you've come and how much you have grown and learned along the way. Look at what you've achieved, at what you've managed to overcome and what progress you have made towards your goals. Learn also to be kind to others as well as to yourself, noticing and analyzing your thoughts. If you often judge and criticize people, you'll likely end up being more judgmental and critical towards yourself. 
How it works: By getting into this habit you create gratitude, appreciation and kindness towards yourself and others. You learn to become okay with yourself and with the people around you, as opposed to competing with them. 

2. Finding it hard to let go of a relationship that no longer serves you
Clinging on to someone who treats you poorly can often be a result of your unhappiness. But learning to let go of a relationship that is toxic or has run its course can provide an essential platform for self-growth.
Change your habit by learning to let go and walk away. Broken relationships are always a difficult step to encounter, and once you have made the decision to distance yourself from a friendship or a relationship, there are often a number of hard lessons you will have to learn to overcome. Forgiving the person for wronging you, is perhaps the hardest lesson that you will have to endure, particularly when you are overwhelmed with resentment towards this person.
How it works: Keep in mind that if you allow these negative feelings to persist, you will only be prolonging your suffering. Remember also that forgiveness has more to do with healing the negative feelings within ourselves, than it does with having to accept the wrong-doing of others.

3. Saying 'yes' to other people's requests when you really want to say 'no'
'Yes' is so easily ingrained in our culture. It supports an open-hearted approach to life, it shows kindness and selflessness, whilst the word 'No' is generally frowned upon and perceived badly. But when you are constantly saying 'yes' to things that you don't want to do, or you don't have time for, when you are placing other people's needs before your own, that is when you need to draw the line and pluck up the courage to just say 'no'.
Change your habit by recognizing times and situations where you need not think twice about saying 'no'. For instance, in moments where you feel as though you are wrestling with your conscience, or you are being exploited by others, or perhaps when you have ended up in a situation that is keeping you away from your own goals or responsibilities.
How it works: By saying 'no' to others, you can concentrate on the things that are really important to you.
4. Constantly striving for perfection
When you are constantly seeking happiness through perfection, it's not going to be easy to find. Setting the bar for your performance at a high level will likely lead to low self-esteem and feeling as though you are not good enough.
Change your habit by aiming for good enough instead. This does not give you the excuse to slack off. Rather, it's about realizing when to let go of your perfectionism and learning to be pleased with what you have done and with what you have finished.
How it works: One of the best ways to let go of perfectionism is to set a deadline. Do what you can, in the best way that you can, in the time-frame you have given yourself (you can apply this to whatever you are doing, be it around the house, or at work), doing so will help you to let go of the need to polish things up a bit too much.  

5. Feeling guilty about the past and anxious about the future
Spending too much time in the past reliving old painful memories, conflicts, missed opportunities, or living in the future imagining how things could go wrong at work, in your relationships and with your health, can develop into dreadful scenarios playing over and over in your mind. Not living in the present moment can lead to missing out on wonderful experiences too.
Change your habit by trying to engage in what you are doing. Not thinking about the past or feeling anxious about the future is a pretty impossible thing to do. Rather, observe your thoughts in moments that you tend to dwell on things that rarely happen, or anxieties that won't help you out in the present. You can do this by taking a moment to observe what you are doing and try engage in that as fully as you can. If that doesn't help, divert your attention to your breath for a couple of minutes, taking in what is around you.   
How it works: Living in the present moment will allow you to learn from past mistakes, enabling you to make better decisions for your future. Living in the present does not mean that you shouldn't plan ahead either. Rather, planning ahead for tomorrow or next year will give you a sense of excitement and will also bring about a sense of security and stability, particularly in financial matters.
6. Living in a sea of negative thoughts
Living a happier life becomes a lot harder when you let yourself be dragged down by negative voices. Dwelling on the negative details in your life and allowing those details to consume your thoughts is another way to make yourself unhappy.
Change your habit by replacing your negative thoughts with powerful influences. Take a look at what needs changing in your life. Starting with your social circle, dedicate most of your time to hanging out with positive people. In moments of isolation, listen to inspiring music and read stimulating books. Watch movies that exhibit a strong message and TV shows that will make you laugh.
How it works: Making small adjustments to your routine can help change your perspective in life. With a level-headed mind you will be more likely to think critically and solve any negative issues that need changing. Keep in mind that in our negative thoughts we often make mountains out of molehills. Frequently, the problem in your head can be solved or turned into something helpful or positive easily.

Ways to deal with Toxic people

Although we like to think that the people in our lives are well-adjusted, happy, healthy minded individuals, we sometimes realize that it just isn’t so. Frankly, life is too short to spend your time dealing with toxicity.  If you can, avoid spending too much time with people who are indicative of these behaviors, you’ll feel a lot happier.

Here’s how you can best deal with a toxic-persona:
Question yourself
If you know someone who insists on destructively dictating the emotional atmosphere, then be clear: they are toxic.  If you are suffering because of their attitude, and your compassion, patience, advice, and general attentiveness doesn’t seem to help them, and they don’t seem to care one bit, then ask yourself, “Do I need this person in my life?” When you delete toxic people from your environment it becomes a lot easier to breathe.

Stop giving them leverage
Don’t be fooled.  Short-term ease equals long-term pain for you in a situation like this.  Toxic people don’t change if they are being rewarded for not changing.  Constant drama and negativity is never worth putting up with.

Speak up!
Do not accept their behavior.
Most of these people know they’re doing the wrong thing and will back down surprisingly quickly when confronted.  In most social settings people tend to keep quiet until one person speaks up, so SPEAK UP.
Define boundaries
Your dignity may be attacked, ravaged and disgracefully mocked, but it can never be taken away unless you willingly surrender it.  It’s all about finding the strength to defend your boundaries. Demonstrate that you won’t be insulted or belittled.  

Be practical
Sometimes it makes sense to be sympathetic with toxic people whom you know are going through a difficult time, or those who are suffering from an illness.  There’s no question about it, some toxic people are genuinely distressed, depressed, or even mentally and physically ill, but you still need to separate their legitimate issues from how they behave toward you.

Laughing at yourself leads to better psychological well-being

People who frequently crack jokes about themselves to gain approval of others have greater levels of psychological well-being, a study has found.

The findings, published in a journal  contradict some of the research carried out to date in the psychology of humour.

Up until now, a significant deal of the research literature has suggested that self-defeating humour is exclusively associated with negative psychological effects among individuals who regularly employ this style of humour.

"In particular, we have observed that a greater tendency to employ self-defeating humour is indicative of high scores in psychological well-being dimensions such as happiness and, to a lesser extent, sociability," said a researcher.

"The results, as well as being consistent with the positive connotations traditionally attributed to the act of 'laughing at oneself' in our country, also suggest that the effects of self-defeating humour on well-being may differ depending on where the research takes places," the researcher said.

"Consequently, we believe it is necessary to conduct new studies aimed at analysing potential cultural differences in the use of this kind of humour," he said.

"Our research fits into one of the theoretical models that aim to overcome these limitations and provide the psychology of humour with a well-founded, accurate theoretical body of knowledge," said a researcher.

Nonetheless, researchers also point out that certain styles of humour may be employed to conceal negative intentions and feelings.

"Humour enables individuals with low scores in honesty to build trust, closeness, etc. With other people and thereby use important information in order to manipulate them or obtain advantages in the future," said another researcher.

The results regarding the relationship between the use of humour and anger management suggests that the capacity for maintaining a humorous perspective in adverse situations, i.e the use of self-enhancing humour, is typically found among people who manage anger more effectively, as well as among those with lower tendencies to exhibit angry feelings or reactions.

By contrast, people who tend to use aggressive or self- defeating humour do not manage anger or rage as well.

In particular, aggressive humour is mainly associated with the expression of anger towards others and a greater propensity to experience anger in everyday life.

By using aggressive humour, individuals may express negative feelings (for example, anger, superiority, hate, etc) less explicitly than they would through physical or verbal abuse, since they can allude to the humorous nature of the comments they make in order to justify them.

Self-defeating humour was linked to a greater tendency to suppress anger. However, this suppression does not necessarily mean that the anger directed at others is reduced or controlled, but rather that the triggers eliciting such angry reactions are concealed or not explicitly stated.
