Uni will not help you to build a business and it will not help you with coaching or content creation. What am I missing? No one cares about degrees, they care about what real world results you can produce . Maybe you can get a coaching certification Uni is great for socializing and meeting people or technical fields like engineering or medicine

Just combine both vision boards , no need to be perfectionistic here. Go with your intuition of what you want to add or remove You seem to be a thoughtful person but I feel your use of language is the problem. It's unnecessary complicated , twisted and academic. And this hinders your clarity. And you mentioned two philosophers known for being needlessly overcomplicated as well Let me know how you feel about this Practice journaling in a way a 10 year old would understand it. See if that helps. You have fallen in the trap of glorifying complicated language, when the purpose of language is clear comunication ( in this case, with yourself)

Absolutely. It's a book study group. They study Andys books and provide advice strictly on how to do frequent low dose chelation. Anything else is outside of their scope. They have banned the discussion of any other topics or even chelation protocols to keep any degree of order . They touch on relevant topics but that's it . Their concerns are very niche. That's an influence yes, but genetics are pretty much everything. The right supplements can help with methylation pathways , glutathione production ( do not supplement glutathione , boost glutathione synthesis indirectly ) and detoxification enzyme activity. You can do a 23andME gene test and look for variations in the MTHFR gene, particularly the C677T and A1298C mutations can lead to a reduced efficiency of methylation, making you less capable to cope with heavy metals. A liver biopsy is a very accurate last restort way of testing for iron toxicity as far as I remember. But heavy metals are stored mostly in fatty tissue , the brain, liver and kidneys. Organic Mercury is particulary lipophilic ( and the brain is mostly fat! . Lead is stored in the bones and teeth as it mimics calcium and is slowly released throughout the bone remodeling cycles ( thats why aparently chelating with DMSA for lead is only needed one round per month as you wait for the bones to release lead into the blood again ). I'd rather go for less invasive methods and not get a biopsy of vital organs Blood tests are only "accurate" for measuring very recent exposure or for checking for copper toxicity ( plasma / Red Blood Cells copper test) IDK about fecal tests. I guess its good for checking digestive health. Aparently you can even get an X-ray fluorescence test to check for long term lead exposure in bones.

Bonus perspective from ChatGPT, VERY on point: Here are a few additional psychological mechanisms that more specifically address how we focus on and interpret specific aspects of our surroundings: 1. **Selective Perception**: This mechanism involves filtering information that we are exposed to and focusing on certain details while ignoring others. This can be influenced by our expectations, needs, or previous experiences. For instance, if someone is particularly sensitive to environmental cues about security due to a background in that field, they might notice security cameras more often than others do. 2. **Attentional Bias**: This is the tendency of our perception to be affected by our recurring thoughts. For example, if someone is worried about prices and finances, they may more frequently notice and remember the prices of items, particularly those that seem high or are marked with discounts. 3. **Top-Down Processing**: This cognitive process involves using the context or a general framework to understand the details of a specific scene. For instance, if you enter a store with the belief that it is designed to manipulate purchasing decisions, you may interpret all its layouts and color choices as evidence supporting this belief. 4. **Pattern Recognition**: Humans are naturally inclined to recognize patterns in their environment, which can be beneficial (such as quickly recognizing faces) or lead to erroneous conclusions (such as seeing meaningful patterns in random data). This could explain noticing repeated numbers or arrangements that seem to convey specific messages. 5. **Motivated Reasoning**: This is a tendency to find arguments in favor of conclusions we want to believe. This can affect perception in a way that supports one's desires or fears, such as interpreting random events as meaningful or connected in a way that aligns with one’s pre-existing beliefs.

@Michael569 ignore the heavy metal results, only look at the minerals. You're looking for mineral derangement that mercury specifically causes. Hair testing is just a vague rule of thumb anyways, to get started somewhere. Go do your DMSA provoked urine tests if you want actual numbers once you know you how you tolerate chelators. I just find it a little ruthless to do it before trialing the chelators. Ofc there are countess of different health factors, like diseases, fitness, genetics, nutrition, environmental toxins, mold , polution, medicine side effects ... etc. OP suspected HM toxicity due to his symptoms and wanted a breakdown of urine test vs hair test, and I feel we have done it The medical field and health overall is an extremely complicated subject and often it's difficult or impossible to be absolutely accurate about the diagnosis and all you have left is to trial and error your best guess, which is what often doctors do.

I sent your results to Chatgpt to analyze them with the info from the books. May not be entirely accurrate but on the FB group they just tell you how many counting rules you meet and your likelyhood of mercury toxicity, given the ammount of people posting there. (80k people ) To provide a thorough analysis using Andrew Hall Cutler’s counting rules from the hair mineral analysis provided, we will accurately assess the essential mineral levels, ensuring precise application of the counting rules for potential heavy metal toxicity. Here is the detailed breakdown of the mineral results and their application to Cutler’s rules. ### Essential Mineral Levels: **1. Calcium (Ca)**: 154 mg% (Reference Interval: 200-1250, **16th percentile**) **2. Magnesium (Mg)**: 17 mg% (Reference Interval: 25-130, **2.5th percentile**) **3. Sodium (Na)**: 13 mg% (Reference Interval: 20-180, **2.5th percentile**) **4. Potassium (K)**: 5 mg% (Reference Interval: 11-80, **2.5th percentile**) **5. Copper (Cu)**: 3.3 mg% (Reference Interval: 1.3-30, **84th percentile**) **6. Zinc (Zn)**: 190 mg% (Reference Interval: 130-200, **84th percentile**) **7. Manganese (Mn)**: 0.028 mg% (Reference Interval: 0.08-0.75, **2.5th percentile**) **8. Chromium (Cr)**: 0.42 mg% (Reference Interval: 0.18-0.60, **50th percentile**) **9. Iron (Fe)**: 4.8 mg% (Reference Interval: 7.0-90.0, **2.5th percentile**) ### Cutler’s Counting Rules Applied: **Rule 1: More than Four High Elements** - High elements are those in the 95th percentile and above. Here, no elements meet this criterion. Copper (Cu) and Zinc (Zn) appear in high percentiles, both at the 84th percentile, which are below the threshold needed to consider them abnormally high **Rule 2: More than Four Low Elements** - Low elements are defined as those in the 5th percentile or below. In this case: - **Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium, Manganese, Iron** are in the **2.5th percentile**. - Five elements meet this criterion, suggesting significant impairment in the body's capacity to retain these minerals, possibly due to heavy metal interference. **Rule 3: Combination of High and Low Elements** - Looking for a combination of four or more essential elements appearing at the extreme high or low ends of their reference ranges. Here: - **Low:** Magnesium, Sodium, Potassium, Manganese, Iron - **High:** Copper, Zinc ( high but not extremely high ) - We have five elements ( potentially seven ) in the extreme ranges, indicating severe dysregulation in mineral homeostasis. This rule is met and supports the possibility of heavy metal toxicity. **Rule 4: Fewer than Two Mid-Range Elements** - Mid-range elements are those that fall between the 16th and 84th percentiles, excluding extremes. Here: - **Mid-Range:** Calcium, Chromium - Only two elements fall into the mid-range, supporting the indication that most elements are skewed toward extremes, likely influenced by toxic metal burdens. ### Conclusion: The application of Andrew Hall Cutler’s counting rules to your hair mineral analysis suggests a significant pattern of mineral dysregulation, with a predominance of essential minerals falling into the extremely low range. Five essential minerals are significantly low, and there's also the presence of two significantly high minerals, which fulfills Rule 3 and supports the potential diagnosis of heavy metal toxicity, particularly mercury interference. Given these findings, it would be advisable to consult with a healthcare professional experienced in the treatment of heavy metal toxicity. This should ideally be someone familiar with Cutler’s protocol if you're considering a chelation therapy.

These companies dont have specialized knowledge on how to interpret hair tests specifically for mercury toxicity or heavy metal toxicity. They do provide their analysys, which isn't important for the purpose of deciding if to chelate. You just want them to provide the raw data. Being in the "high percentile" or "low percentile" refers to the amount of a specific mineral or metal present in your hair compared to a "healthy " reference population. If your result is in a high percentile, it means that the concentration of a particular substance in your hair is higher than what is observed in most people in the reference group. a low percentile indicates that the concentration is lower than what is common among the reference group. You post your hair test results on the ACC FB group where the admins ( people who understand Andy's " counting rules", as explained in his 300 page book of in-depth biochemistry about how mercury affects mineral transport ) tell you if you meet these counting rules and your likelyhood of mercury toxicity. Mercury is the only heavy metal that severely interferes with mineral transport, whats called " mineral derangement " I have fed Andy's books to chatGPT to anwser your questions in more detail : The counting rules developed by Andrew Hall Cutler for interpreting hair mineral analysis are designed to detect unusual patterns in the distribution of essential elements that may indicate heavy metal toxicity, particularly from mercury. The key elements typically analyzed in hair mineral analysis under Andrew Hall Cutler’s protocol, important for assessing overall mineral balance and potential toxicity: Calcium (Ca), Magnesium (Mg), Sodium (Na), Potassium (K), Copper (Cu), Zinc (Zn), Selenium (Se), Manganese (Mn), Iron (Fe), Chromium (Cr), Phosphorus (P) These elements are chosen because they play crucial roles in metabolic processes, and their imbalances can indicate physiological disturbances potentially caused by heavy metal exposures. The counting rules : Rule 1: More than Four High Elements If four or more of the essential minerals are found in the highest 10% of the population reference range, it indicates potential heavy metal toxicity affecting the body's ability to regulate these minerals. Rule 2: More than Four Low Elements If four or more of the essential minerals are in the lowest 10% of the reference range, this suggests significant impairment in the body's capacity to absorb or retain these minerals, possibly due to heavy metal interference. Rule 3: Combination of High and Low Elements If a combination of four or more essential minerals appears in the extreme high or low ends of their reference ranges, this pattern signifies severe dysregulation in mineral homeostasis, indicative of possible heavy metal toxicity. Rule 4: Fewer than Two Mid-Range Elements This rule considers whether fewer than two essential elements fall within the middle ranges of the reference spectrum. The presence of most elements in the extremes (high or low) without a balance in the mid-range further emphasizes abnormal mineral transport or metabolism, likely influenced by toxic metal burdens. The maximum number of rules any hair test can meet is three. When it does, it is called a screaming mercury test, which means that the likelihood of mercury toxicity is about 99.9%

What you are expecting is simply the psychological mechanism called " selective focus" without having proper context or understanding of what it is If I tell you to notice every Volkswagen car you see during this week, you will start seeing Volkswagen cars everywhere because before, even if you they were there, you didn't put any special attention on the distinction or their presence. It's one the many mechanism our minds have. See projection bias, apophenia, hindsight bias... I don't want to make you feel like I'm gaslighting you but the meaning of those numbers is made up by you or society. You created it and you hold it to be meaningful. Colors do convey certain information to humans that's genetically coded. Bright shiny colors draw more attention. There are certain patterns that convey danger ( think of the patterns black, yellow or red that spiders or snakes have). Certain colors display the ripeness of fruit... Etc. Yes, marketers make use of colors to command more of your attention and increase the chances of you purchasing something. So you're sane, just a little confused .

You're welcome. Feel free to reach out for specific questions once you've first searched ACC group That's not even a lot of supplements. Look at this And now look at this!!!

@- Adam - All of this is anwsered in the " start here" section of the ACC group. I can't explain every single thing to you personally as it time consuming. I can still answer things here and there. Careful with bulk form ALA. If you accidentally breathe in the fumes it can redistribute heavy metals around your body . There is one dude that committed suicide because of how bad it f*d him up, it's the first video in my journal. Be sure to wear a high quality mask. Chelators expire relatively quickly so keep that in mind when buying a lot of them. Look up FB group for storing options. I lost hundreds not knowing this. There is a video on how to DIY your own capsules on the FB group, it's around the final 2 pages of my journal. You need a precise micro scale and make sure each pill has the same amount of ALA not to accidentally fluctuate chelator blood levels which would make your chelation experience worse. It's little hassle but it cuts down the cost of chelation by X3 if not more. And it's not that complicated. You absolutely supplement the same amount on and off round. This is important, otherwise you may crash during the recovery phase. Doses are at the beginning of my journal. They recommend you take the core 4 for 2 weeks before starting chelation. Introduce supplements one by one and see how you react to them. Adrenal cortex EXTRACT is very effective at supporting adrenals for me, and they recommend it as a 5th core supplement, so consider stacking up on that. Other than that, look into thyroid support, liver support and adrenal support. It's all on the FB group or my journal. "Taking pills all the time" is fine as long as you don't use shady low quality no brand supplements. If say you can comfortably take two dozen supplements daily or more. High doses of vit C work very well on me. I take up to 8g per day. Find your own doses ( I take sodium ascorbate as it's not acidic) For doses and what chelators, see picture above. I've done 25 MG dmsa every 3 hours for 4 days. Now I'm testing same dose of just ALA. larger doses or longer rounds than that gave me severe fatigue ( adrenal crash, for up to a week ) and yellow feces ( sign of insufficient liver support, poor bile flow.) They recommend 10 rounds just DMSA before introducing ALA. I haven't looked into dmps a lot personally. For suplements just start with the minimum that works. What I use: Liver support ( artichoke extract, milk thistle extract), doses and links to what I purchased on my journal (not affiliated) Adrenal support: Thorne Adrenal cortex extract. Works wonders. " Adrenal cocktail" : pinch of cream of tartar ( it's potassium, very care not overdoing it ) , Himalayan salt and ascorbic acid diluted in water to replenish electrolytes Iodine for thyroid support Optional , that I picked, mentioned by Andy: Vit A, high quality molecularly distilled omega 3, L- thyrosine, selenomethionine ( no more than one pill split in two , 12 hours apart, i believe its 200mcg per pill. It works good off round to deal with redistributiom symptoms as it blocks mercury from being reabsorbed)

Draw your own metaphysical conclusions

I'm fascinated by the power of language and how different use of words affect your thinking, beliefs and actions. I've dabbled in NLP for a while without knowing that it's a thing and I'm looking to deepen my knowledge in it as another coaching tool. This one was pretty cool. Leo shared it on his blog : on a side note, like him or not, what a powerful speaker this dude is ! I've seen a lot of shady people applying NLP it and giving it a bad name, but I belive it's very powerful. Resources? Thanks!

Imagine how differently a dog experiences life with a sense of smell 100 million times better than humans, and a 3 times better hearing. Imagine having the thermal vision of a snake, electroreceptors of a shark, echolocation of bats and the magnetic sense of birds. Imagine seeing the full electromagnetic spectrum , not just " visible light" Now imagine being to clearly smell the quantity and difference in atoms in the entire world at once. What kind of experience would that be? Imagine having such a clear imagination that you could experience a full rich and detailed imaginary life at will. Imagine having the capacity to operate without the boundaries of time , space and physics Imagine what the life experience would be as an trans-alive being, beyond a physical body Imagine what the life experience of a DMT Machine - elf would be What would be the life experience of some being so complex that even a machine elf can't comprehend? Imagine the experience of an entire dimension at once, throughout all of space time . Now multiply that for infinity for infinite dimensions, and whatever is beyond our concept of dimensions What is so complex that even an alien hyper - mind can't grasp?

Hey, Welcome to Spain and congratulations for taking a first step towards your well-being. Writing such a detailed post and reaching out for help is a real milestone. It requieres a serious degree of humbleness and willpower. Many people fail to even do this. @LostSoul What I see : Fear of Intimacy and opening up to people . Severe anxiety, repressed emotions, chronically holding a Facade. Spontaneous and unwanted Mystical experiences, Advanced Spirituallity and Metaphysics has destabilized your life. Spirituallity induced confusion / depression, pretty common. Stable but unfulfilling career, pretty common. Feeling of urgency to act. You intuit your potential , but you lack direction, clarity, vision, and feel incompetent and helpless. You avoid thinking and introspecting to avoid further mental and emotional discomfort. Escapism, addictions. Lack of confidence . Lack of experience with women. Super common. Let me know if that sounds like a decent summary. It's a lot of stuff and one single thread will come nowhere near of seriously transforming your situation. You basically need a serious experienced Coach with an actual no BS Spiritual background ( aka Leo's content ), for at least 6 months to hold your hand , put you back on your feet and provide you clarity, emotional support and mental relief. I don't want to sound condescending but it sounds like you're really struggling to get this handled by yourself, at least in the short term, because of the magnitude and ammount of different sticking points. And that's okay. If you have the funds, start looking for a coach. Look out not to be overcharged though, it's common in the Industry. Leo has videos for every single of these sticking points . Start there maybe . I'd do it for free as you seem to be a juicy canvas for transformation but recluting people from the forum is against the guidelines. Feel free to PM me for specific questions or start individual threads on each of these sticking points. Also you can leverage ChatGPT for gaining some clarity. Where would I start? Sit down and come up with a decent trajectory for your life. it doesnt have to be perfect, you will refine it on the go. Then slowly take real life action towards it . Beware of perfectionism and all or nothing thinking. Any small step is a victory that you MUST pat yourself on the back for . You're very young and may feel overwhelmed by not having made it by age 25. You're not a kid anymore, but that's life. Time goes forward whether you like it or not. When is the best time to plant a tree? 20 years ago. When is the second best time ? As soon as possible. Just having found Leo's content is a goldmine, so feel grateful for that. You got this 😉

bump because this thought experiment is fascinating

For example, content like this is actually all right, but the editing style just fries my brain... just bombards you in the first 20 seconds alone

OP has limited finantial resources and common HM toxicity symptoms It's nice to have accurrate metrics but the purpose of whatever testing is to anwser the questions of " do I chelate? and for how long? " ( Yes knowing how much of what is leaving your body has its value, but it's not essential ) Also a urine test requieres taking a fairly large dose of DMSA ( around 2000MG, make sure to move into a full 3 day round after taking the initial dose for the test). It is suposed to be relatively safe but I just wouldnt do it off the bat... the last thing you want to do is accidentally f* yourself up and be helpless. Just do a few rounds of chelation trials with conservative doses ( see picture ) and see how you react first. You can allways go higher. Any reaction to chelators, either positive or negative suggest you will benefit from chelation. In the case you've had amalgams then you can be sure you will befit from chelation . ( If you've had amalgams you need to be extra careful and make extra research. ACC group is great for this ) Also the ammount of HM in your body should ideally be 0, so almost certainly you will benefit from chelation . Once you know you tolerate chelation well and can afford urine tests and want actual numbers then go for it. Hair mineral tests are not very accurate but they are not taken at face value. The mineral ratios are "interpreted" - the HM bars are very inaccurate ( you look for signs of "deranged mineral tansport" which you aparently have ) which suggests mercury toxicity, anwsering again the question that you will likely benefit from chelation. For how long ? It's a process. Andy says when you can chelate at 3 mg/kg doses of ALA without any side effects (on or off round, and there are no further improvements to your health condition), chelate for another 6 months and you are done. If you want to try higher doses of DMSA go for it, but i'd recommend start lower.., Aparently I dont tolerate well more than 25 MG of DMSA every 3 hours for example. You could argue that there is such thing as " too small doses" and that chelation is maybe actually easier with higher doses, but I have yet to trial that. Let me know if you have any other questions
