That’s a treadmill. You have to eat and drink more micro plastics to replace the lost blood. Bloodletting was the opposite you wanted to do with melancholic illness btw. You wanted to increase sanguine humor(blood, the opposite of black bile) so you ate and drank sanguine foods(meat and gravy, red wine) while taking laxatives and enemas.
Hilariously there is one aspect of this that is actually accurate to modern suggestions. To increase sanguine humor you should exercise and get hot and sweaty (sanguine humor is considered hot and wet). Vigorous exercise is considered by modern medicine to be good for depression.
To be clear: the historical treatment for too much black bile (melancholic) is to shit it out with laxatives.
gut microbiome’s link to gut-brain axis and depreasion so partial points earned? laxatives usually have adverse effect on gut microbiome tho
yeah you are going to want to combine this with probiotics, or eating ass
Gotta make sure you’re eating undepressed ass though, else you’re just back at stage 1
But where am I going to find a happy bottom 🥺
Weird take, but blood-letting is a treatment against microplastics. As is menstruation and donating blood, but the first one is more medieval.
The solution to pollution is dilution!

However the microplastics that had previously accumulated would leave your body, thereby reducing the concentration temporarily.
Can confirm. Worked my ass off today. Felt good.
You ever go a long time without a good shit? Those alchemists may have been on to something.
