Torrefaction

1. is there a connection between allergies and weight gain (I've been having a massive metabolic slowdown for a couple of years that has recently improved)?  Results: zillions of quacks promoting magic weight loss solutions and/or magic allergy remedies.  Better results gotten by googling specific medicines and weight gain, since about 50% of all medicines genuinely cause weight gain (including, apparently, Zyrtec for me).

2. what are the symptoms of an overabundance of estrogen?  Now that I'm on DP I don't have this problem so much, but endometriosis can cause an imbalance where the body makes extra estrogen. Results: single doctor promoting--all over the place--natural progestin solution to "estrogen dominance syndrome" which is an ailment discovered and defined by him, and treated by his product and only his product.  Normal living can cause this syndrome, HBC can cause this syndrome, chemical progestins also cause syndrome! Only his natural progestin product will do.  This one is particularly annoying because I think there is probably a real ailment in there somewhere, (that in my case is vastly improved by chemical progestin) but he is masking any useful results for it.

3. I have located the majority of my college buddies on FB or via Google, except my old housemate Amber Stout.  Results: beer, beer, beer.
