[Ahmadrizkiutomo]

What shampoo y'all use fore treat this

[Harajukubarbie]

no reason what so ever, .... could alcoholism (lets say drinking just "beer" of over 7.0 per volume minimum, and no "hard A") feed the yeast/dandruff paradigm of symtpoms MORE so than simply a lack of monitering of ones own "sugar" intake???

Lets say drinking a coke [i would never & havent for over a decade] after drinking said yeast containing beer, be more problematic than simply drinking the beer??


Asking since it's fairly common knowledge that alcohol is a byprodoct/poop of yeast eating sugar, and that yeast generally, willl die if they are surrounded/put into a darn near 100% solution of alcohol (which makes sense as a human being tossed into a septic tank would have the same effect on the subject [yeast/human]).

Just curious as alcohol is a *natural* substance found in the ecosystem everywhere, as a fungal property, of course beer & spirits, and even wine are NOT natural (humans have to intentionally brew, bottle, sell and buy said corporate merchandise after all, and MOST of the negative health effects of non-purely alc beverages are; in my humble opinion, due to the "gmo-effect" toxicity wise, in combination with packing practices (SRSLY, aluminum cans instead of bottles should even be a thing these days), ALONG with dietary overindulgences & malnutrition (it being TOO easy to buy "fake-food" than *organic*), aggravated intentionally by ill-intentioned corporations & poverty.

The latter of which could be solved by a UBI/Citizens Dividend [easily funded in over a dozen ways which would see ZERO tax increase at the stores or on anyones paycheck BTW....although that depends on which version gets legislated, as inevitably some form of it will replace "welfare" [[which is literally written into the USA's federal constitution several times FYI]].

Thanks yall if in any way shape or form in future episodes yall tackle all of the above, even if none of ya ever respond to this comment.

Ok, bye then and have a good day, beautiful night, wonderful morning, fantastic tapping, and just generally a blessed life by whatever you believe in 😎
