    Yes. If someone does not have any symptoms at all, and are seeming to be in great health. Then AW says that they can eat a whole foods (mediterranean) diet and still be healthy. However, if health conditions start worsening, it is advised that they cut out eggs, dairy, wheat and other pathogen-feeding foods. And also, adding some fresh celery juice in the morning would help a lot.

    @Adam M That's a reasonable thing to say. It's good to not have absolutist beliefs about diet except for the obvious offenders like ultra processed food.

    The point is that it could help to actually heal someone who is dealing the tinnitus, or SIBO, or eczema, or hypothyroid, or cancer, or alzheimers, or excessive weight gain, or muscle spasms, tingles and numbness, diarrhea.

    so for people who are perfectly healthy, can they not just eat a whole foods diet that includes eggs for example and be fine?

    Can you just admit that you don't actually know what you're disagreeing with?

    @Adam M

    I admit that I haven't familiarized myself with the Medical Medium diet, but it seems obvious to me that you wouldn't be promoting his diet if it didn't personally work for you. Which tells me that the whole basis for your belief in the medical medium diet is anecdotal, and not based off rigorous scientific proof.

    And that's fine. I have my own beliefs about diet to, but at least I recognize them as beliefs and am aware that I could very well be misguided. You seem to be very confident about everything Anthony Williams has to say, which is concerning to me.

    realize that it applies to actual reality by taking it on as a temporary hypothesis. 

    The only reason why you came to this realization is because of your own personal results testing his theories as a hypothesis in your own immediate experience. But just because it's worked for you, doesn't mean it'll work for others. And just because it's worked for others, doesn't mean his theories are true. 

    And if something is working for you, it's easy to fall into the trap of confirmation bias, wherein you read the theory behind the diet and take it on as blind faith simply because it works, which from my perspective is the trap you have fallen into. 

    Now to give you credit, one of the world's greatest athletes is fond of lemon and celery juice.

    You mean I can't blindly trust a guy because he claims to channel his information from source?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

    In reality, science is likely the best collective tool we have for advancing human health. And it's the best tool we have for sorting out BS, however flawed it might be at times. I don't really see a better option.

    How did you "prove" that "it's just false?"

    @Adam M

    The only reason you believe the Medical Medium diet works is because it’s worked for you and others. But personal experiences aren’t solid evidence. That’s why we rely on clinical studies to prove something works, not just stories.

    If the diet didn’t work for you, you probably wouldn’t be pushing it as a cure-all. That makes it clear you haven’t really put the claims to the test. You’re basing everything on your own results, and because it worked for you, you assume the claims must be true and so it must work for everyone. But that’s a big leap and certainly not a rigorous one.

    Don't do it. 

    This decision is not only about yourself, but also about all the loved ones who have invested into your wellbeing.

    You are young and have your entire life ahead of you. But I understand that when you're in the thick of it, these rational thoughts don't really hold value.

    FYI, there are people who have reached the pinnacle of academia and they're suicidal.

    Life is HARD no matter what, and this is just an obstacle you're going to have to overcome.

    How do you feel about Lex entertaining a conversation with Donald Trump? He's spoken with guys like Sam Harris who have clearly laid out the issues with Trump. I'm not sure how he feels about him, but clearly not bad enough to not sit down and talk with him. I know @Leo Gura would never do this even if he had the opportunity to.

    At 29:44, Donald Trump says "Truth is very powerful". I think at that moment Leo would struggle to restrain himself.

    @Leo Gura Considering that most haven't tried psychedelics, I find it hard to believe that 60 percent of Americans have had a non-dual experience, let alone a non-dual experience lasting anywhere from an hour up to a day. And Ken Wilber claims to be in this state quite a bit, but what's the elephant in the room? His genetics, which most people don't have.

    Ken Wilber:

    Quote

    Recent polls have shown that more than 60 percent of Americans have had an experience that they describe as being one with everything. It’s usually a onetime, spontaneous experience that lasts for an hour or two—a day if you’re lucky—but it profoundly changes people because it shows them this state is reality. Ninety percent of them describe it as the most real experience they’ve ever had.

    When you practice the type of meditation that specifically gets you into these unity states for 10, 20, 30 years, you’re going to be in those states quite a bit. You can be in the satori state in some central way most of the time. That’s true in my case, and it’s certainly true for all the teachers I’ve ever had.

    @Leo Gura

    I’m beginning to think that without experiencing a breakthrough with 5-MeO-DMT, one can’t fully grasp the potential of consciousness. This applies even to spiritual gurus who, thanks to exceptional genetics, have achieved a certain level of spiritual realization. But without a 5-MeO breakthrough, does that realization even compare?

    Personally, I don’t consider my everyday state of consciousness to be different from the average person’s. And certainly not on the level of Peter Ralston's. But I’ve experienced deep breakthroughs on 5-MeO-DMT—states of consciousness that no amount of meditation can reach, regardless of genetic gifts.

    So, yes, I feel confident in saying that I’ve been in more radical states than even Peter Ralston/Sadhguru/Osho/Ken Wilber/Rupert Spira/Mooji, as arrogant as that may sound.

    And I know this because they haven't broken through on the "toad juice". It's really just that simple.
