No supplements really work any better than food. Maybe whey protein and hydrolyzed collagen if you struggle to consume the true optimal protein requirement of 100g per day. Maybe creatine if you're older or don't eat red meat, but make sure it's high quality, as it's super cheap anyway and you don't want to risk contaminants -- from what I remember, unflavored CreaPure checks out, fwiw. Maybe 1 fish oil cap (not the full dose) on some days, but not every day. Perhaps a fraction of the recommended dose of a good multivitamin (for instance, one made by Pure Encapsulations), every now and then. Supplements besides the above can be useful in certain obscure situations, but only if you have an absurd amount of holistic bio-nutritive knowledge. To say everything affects everything else is as true as it gets. Knowledge is power in this field, but incomplete knowledge is dangerous -- it helps to think of everything as a web. For instance, a quick example: Appetite too high for your liking and you want to reduce it without taking, say, d-amphetamine? Well, that's laughably easy to accomplish... Take 2-4g L-histidine base on an empty stomach up to twice a day. This will lower appetite tremendously. However, it will bind/complex-with and can deplete zinc, cause copper toxicity, cause liver stress, and increase your risk of ulcers in the long term and/or at too high of a dose -- all that can be ameliorated with other interventions. It can also decrease inflammation and oxidative stress -- not necessarily a good thing unless you really know what you're doing.

Might've been overly abrasive, preventing you from being as receptive to what I'm saying. I apologize. But my information is good and my point (though it may not have come across correctly the first time) still stands, even if maybe it shouldn't have been directed as specifically toward you. I wasn't trying to sound clever. I actually happen to have valuable holistic information, as I'm sure you do as well. Hear me out. The fact is, if a person is truly mercury-toxic, chlorella will hurt them. This is not exactly CHEM-101 but it is just simple (bio)chemistry in the end. The people you've treated may have been properly served by it -- I won't argue with that. But they weren't mercury toxic, which was the point of this thread. I think we may have got off on the wrong foot.

"Assholes get more laid than good guys..." ? I think you mean people who seem like assholes get laid more than guys who try to be or appear nice. True kindness and integrity (being a good guy), on the other hand, can get you laid. A lot. E.g. charismatic people. When picking up women, it doesn't help to appear like you're trying to be or appear nice, sure...but being an asshole is just dumb.

Tautology

Raising consciousness = increasing effortless gratitude. The effortlessness, strength, steadiness, and scope of the gratitude we feel, alone, is the collection of factors most highly correlated to what we call high consciousness.

Just be aware it is great for working on a specific task and boosts the ability to keep focused after directing your attention, but it impairs fluid thinking, task switching, and intentional directing and re-directing of attention. It increases absorption but overall it decreases mindfulness and therefore indistractibility. Its best quality is as a motivation booster, if that's what you want. Makes doing what you need to do "easier."

@Eren Eeager You absolutely can do only ALA. It just won't chelate lead. It is the principal chelator of mercury both in and out of the brain, and intra- and extra-cellularly. ALA can be done by itself. DMSA and DMPS are accessories, primarily providing an additional route of elimination as they are excreted through urine whereas ALA is excreted through feces.

I remember that one. Lulz. I know y'all seem to like Cenk but back in the day (like 5 years ago) he used to be, if anything, a perfect example of the limitations of green. His interview with Sam Harris was embarrassing, even if he was right. And on TYT, I've seen Cenk make a comment on a clip they just played, lie about it (or at least grossly misrepresent it), before Ben M. corrects him, and Cenk would then go on a tirade of something along the lines of "I know what I saw, dammit" and when I'd go back and watch the clip... sure enough Cenk was seeing what he wanted to see. It happened too many times... and I think Cenk really does just see racism and malice everywhere when conservatives are involved -- he just didn't seem to understand that people are ignorant. Examples off the top of my head, not even close to all inclusive: He hallucinated malice that wasn't present when the judge sentenced Dylann Roof, honestly implying the judge was somehow more sympathetic to a murderer than the victims. Cenk claimed the judge was trying to get the victims to forgive the poor Dylann Roof... The judge himself literally never even brought to the room anything that could possibly be construed as a faint sentiment of forgiveness, much less mentioned the damn word. The families were devout Christians, and a number of them, through powerfully intense sobbing btw, said "I forgive you" directly to Dylann Roof. That's it. Cenk repeatedly misrepresented this one, and I don't think ever even retracted it. Grotesque... not to mention entirely disrespectful to the families -- you could tell Ben M. was very aware of this and desperately but unsuccessfully tried to get Cenk to change his mind, like a parent trying to calm a child down during a tantrum. When Sarah Palin was referring to some group like Antifa, she essentially clearly said "they aren't even peaceful," and Cenk swore up and down for days, in the face of everyone calling him out on it, that what she actually said was "they aren't even people." Come on... I haven't been following him much in recent times but he has been utterly delusional in the past. Maybe he's changed -- aware me if that's the case.

@Quantum Toad Chlorella was the first thing I saw on the first page. You are unqualified to give an opinion on this matter and you will get someone hurt. Chlorella contains a compound with 1 thiol group, not two -- you should know why this will damage the shit out of a heavy metal toxic individual, but clearly you don't, so please do more research. Chlorella renders truly heavy metal toxic individuals bedridden with permanent damage...

Probably has something to do with having a very high level of a very specific type of intuitive intelligence, combined with laziness. People with that combo of traits are often seen as lucky.

Hey, as long as they don't hit you, no big deal. There are a number of alpha males with low neediness AND high consciousness, which is what you're really after, but they're few and far between. Maybe you'll come across one in your daily life some day. Most of the "bad boys" are stage red, creeping into toxic blue. But some start out that way and go all the way up the spiral. Again, unicorns. They're often ex-drug addicts, as that's a common form of intense suffering that has its own heroes journey that can lead one to the spiral.

Meditation changed everything for me. Women give me their numbers more than I ask for theirs.

Must the entire world become enlightened, for whatever takes place after a planet has achieved enlightenment in full, to come to fruition? Obviously, yes.

It doesn't have a double thiol group to act as a hook that positively charged heavy metals can situate themselves between. It isn't a chelator. It can move heavy metals around (possibly damaging the system of a mercury toxic individual), since it has 1 thiol group, but it won't help you excrete them.

I advise against it. You can go there intentionally by combining dissociatives with psychedelics though. Again, highly unrecommend.

E.g. If you take 100mg ALA every 3 hours for 72 hours running, that would be a 3-day (72 hour) round (or cycle), which is the absolute minimum length the round must be, since you damage yourself every time you come off, but damage while on-cycle (on-round) is minimal -- it's almost all heavy metal excretion (no redistribution) while on-round. The break even healing/damage point occurs after 60-72 hours (of consistently taking the chelator every 3 hours), so it would be to your benefit to do rounds much longer than this. The fastest route would be a 6 month round, but I don't think that's ever been done and it's not advised. I essentially did three 2-month rounds with a 1-week break between each. Doing it for long stretches at a time significantly decreases the total amount of time you'll have to spend on-round before you clear out all the heavy metals you need to. However, copper toxicity can be a problem with ALA, so you'll need to take both zinc and molybdenum 4x/day -- twice a day is insufficient. Even taking 7.5mg zinc and 250mcg molybdenum (the appropriate amounts) 4x a day each will not stave off copper toxicity forever. And oxidative stress can be an issue with DMSA so you have to take antioxidants. Does that clarify?

You can get it done a lot faster if you do long rounds. Let me explain... The minimum round-length is 72 hours in order to be reasonably certain that the healing/damage ratio is a positive number. The longer the round, the higher that number. Falling systemic levels of the double-thiol chelator are what cause redistribution, which is why you have to take the chelator so frequently, and why longer rounds are far more efficient -- your levels don't fall until the very end of each round, when you stop taking it, therefore you should minimize the amount of times you have to do this, via going as long as you can handle. The only reason not to do them for long stretches is an inability to handle it. A 3-4 day round and a 3-4 day break every week will clean out sufficient mercury/lead within 2-5 years (closer to 1-2 years if you did 1-2 weeks on / 1-2 weeks off) -- the same thing can be achieved with one 6-month round, though you shouldn't actually do it that long. I basically intended to do one 6-month round but there were a few 5-7 day breaks (each initiated upon accidentally missing a dose) so it ended up being essentially three 2-month rounds, in the end -- that's all it took. I recommend planning on a 6 month round and just taking a 7-14 day break each and every time you inevitably accidentally miss a dose. And btw, each 50% increase in dose results in an 18% faster rate of mercury excretion... Since taking larger doses results in comparatively less redistribution, taking larger doses (ramp up as you can handle) will not only speed the process up a bit, it may also have a bit of a buffer effect, protecting you from times when you miss a dose by 30-60min, which should rarely happen, nonetheless. For the majority of my largely-uninterrupted 6-month cycle, I was taking 600mg ALA and 100mg DMSA every 3 hours.

@Girzo Yes, but barely. And it's probably not that kind of dose. The paper itself will practically have just as much of a bitter taste. If it tastes like much more than paper, like obviously some chemical, or metal, it's probably NBOMe.

@Vignan We can't know for sure, but that tab is highly likely to contain 70-140ug. Make sure it's tasteless. If it's bitter or has any strong taste at all, it's not LSD, it's likely 25X-NBOMe, which sucks.

^^ !! Glad I'm not the only one who has found dissociatives to be just as powerful as psychedelics. Ketamine is very fruitful, at the right dose -- too high can produce amnesia and sometimes psychosis-like states. When k-holing it's necessary to lay down on the floor ASAP. Cannabis + ketamine has been one of the most powerful 2-substance combos I've ever used -- insanely powerful mystical experiences. I hesitate to say this publicly, but I've added MDMA and LSD (often substituting mushrooms for LSD) to that same combo, and even when all 4 are at very low doses... Man... I wouldn't need any trips for like a month or 2 because I'd still be trying to integrate the experience. The more I develop in meditation and spirituality, the more intense psychedelics seem to get. I used to be able to casually walk around tripping balls on 1000ug LSD... Now, 110ug is basically a life-altering event. This phenomena... It seems to go double for dissociatives like ketamine! Even small doses cause the bottom to drop out of experience.

@Space Cannabis profoundly increases the likelihood of an ego-death event, because it inhibits long and short term memory. The driving force behind an ego-death experience on psychedelics is memory (context) suppression.

Try raw carrot salad on empty stomach and eat nothing for 45 minutes after. Strands should look like this; long as possible. The long strands clean out your digestive system. Add white vinegar and melted coconut oil (natural antibiotics) and plain salt. It tastes great too. That's not me, I just found an image. They seem to have added butter -- I prefer coconut oil as it's pro-thyroid and a stronger antibiotic.

It's very important when you're over-reaching. Especially in barbell training. Do less sets for a week at 80% weights and then pick up where you left off, or slightly below it, even if the weight feels light -- just keep bar speed fairly high. Probably not necessary until 135 press, 225 bench, 315 squat, 405 deadlift or so. Until then generally all that's required is occasional 10 percent reduction in weight for each specific lift that you happen to miss reps on for 2-3 sessions in a row, building back up to where you left off over a 2 week period, but never reducing intensity below 90% for more than 1 session, to prevent detraining.

The more you know about what you're talking about (or the more you think you know), the more dogmatic you'll sound. We're all doing our best. Nutrition science is truly a mine-field.
