Two days ago I conducted an experiment on myself. Ate only food with high glycemic index. Started the day with croissant and coffee and for lunch I ate white pasta with tomato sauce. By the time it was lunch, I could not keep me eyes opened, had to take a nap for 2 hours. I've never ever had to do that before What I'm trying to say, make sure your diet is not heavy in: sugar, white bread, white rice, potatoes, jams, too many bananas and dried fruits and fizzy & sweet drinks. Also if you are generally low in protein that will kill your energy,

There is something else you can try. A growing scientific evidence is supporting the fact that allergies, asthma and many other hypersensitivities are due to an imbalance in a segment of the adaptive immune system called T-Helper cells (TH-cells). There are two side to this: 1. T-helper Cells 1 (TH1) are your intracellular immune boosters against bacteria and viruses as well as tumours. 2. T-Helper Cells 2 (TH2) are your extracellular defenders against things like fungi and parasites. ] In normal state, these should be balancing out approximately every 12 hours. In conditions like asthma, allergies and autoimmunity it is believed that the immunity can get "stuck" either way. Autoimmunity is called TH1 dominant condition and allergies & asthma TH2 dominant condition. Now that you understand the concept (and I'd encourage you to research this more to see if it makes sense to you) there are few things you may try experimentally and see if they help. If, like me in the past you feel like you have tried everything and nothing helped you are mostly likely experiencing TH2 dominance. This is pretty much how I cured my allergies in April 2019 and haven't had a single episode since. There are few products that can help: 1. Strong complex of medicinal mushrooms including Reishi. Reishi are crucial but it seems they work best when accompanied by other products like Lion's Mane, Maitake and SHitake. You have to make sure the mushrooms are not grown in the warehouse. Find a company that practices wild cultivation otherwise they are useless. 2. Resveratrol has a potency to reverse TH2 dominance (I'd leave this as last option) 3. Thorne Research has a product called Moducare, this seems to be a powerful TH1/TH2 rebalancer 4. Turmeric & Ginger seem to have some effect but this may not be strong enough and I don't know what amounts to use. I'd suggest you start with Moducare or The medicinal mushrooms complex. At the moment I don't know of any other products or drugs that can do this. Antihistamines are symptom management because allergies are not caused by histamine release, that's just a consequence. Sometimes the immune system needs a powerful kick to get back on balance and these products can deliver the punch. BEWARE: if you suffer from any autoimmune disease DO NOT use any of the products above, they can give you massive flareup because autoimmunity is TH1 dominant condition and all of the above can stimulate TH1 cells excessively. Good luck! Feel free to pm if you have any questions about this

MDD is special case. People don't tend to be suicidal for so long but you have mild depresive disorder which is extremely common and these people would have been on SSRIs for a decade or more very often. Not uncommon to be on same drug for few decades. Think about statins. Most people who get prescribed in late 50s pretty much remain on them till they die.

I read this book but to be frank I found it unnecessarily complicated and quite hard to read. Maybe that just tells about my level of ego development. But there are definitely better online sources than the book itself.

@Enlightenment most studies on antidepressants take maximum of 8 weeks. Where we know that it takes 4 weeks for stuff like fluoxetine to even start working. There are no systematic long-term studies. You need data that follow people on antidepressants for 10 or 15 years. We simply do not have that sort of data and short-term studies are pretty much pointless because lot of people fall straight back into it once they stop using. No pharma company will bother to design long-term study because it costs millions of dollars but also because FDA will accept it as long as they can prove that the drug is at least comparable to the most effective drug already on the market.

The following acount of treatment of Charles II of England is a case point: First, he was bled of a pint of blood. Then his shoulder was cut and eight ounces more of blood was extracted by cupping. Then followed an emetic, a purgative and another purgative. Next, an enema in which they used antimony, sacred bitters, rock salt, mallow leaves, violet, beet root, camomile flowers, fennel seed, linseed, cinnamon, cardamom seed, saffron, cochineal and aloes. This enema was repeated. In two hours, another purgative was given. The King's scalp was then shaved, and a blister raised on it. They gave him next sneezing powder of hellebore root; they sought to strengthen his brain by giving him powder of cowslip flowers. Purgatives were frequently repeated. He was given drinks of barley water, licorice, sweet almonds, white wine, absinthe, anise seed, extracts of thistles, rue, mint and angelica. When these did not cure him, they gave him a poultice of burgundy pitch and pigeon dung, to be applied to his feet. More bleeding, more purging; they added melon seeds, manna, slippery elm, black cherry water, extracts of flower of lime, lily of the valley, peony, lavender and dissolved pearls. When these did not do the trick, they went at it with gentian root, nutmeg, quinine and cloves. When this failed, he was given forty drops of extract of human skull. Then they forced down his throat a rallying dose of herbs and animal extracts. Then some powdered bezoar stone. Alas, after an ill fated night His Serene Majesty was so exhausted that all the physicians became despondent. And so, more active cordials, and finally pearl julep [a heart tonic] and ammonia, were forced down the royal patient's throat. Then he died. This is a current psychiatry medicine

Leo when will you turn actualized into profiteering machine like you said in Ego part 2? Why not do your videos on yacht in bahamas? Everybody needs to sin occasionally don't they?

@Lyubov You may need to exaggerate your symptoms a little bit more to get your way. This is because medical tests are paid through insurance company (unless you live in country where you pay them) so doctors have to make decision who gets them and who doesn't. At least this is how it works in UK. See what they can do and then take it from there

If you are mostly symptom free you are unlikely to get more than basic blood work (red, white blood cells,iron, platelets,b12) maybe thyroid. Most doctors don't test for heavy metals or testosterone unless they suspect hypogonadism or something like that. You may need to look into private testing for those. Vitamin D is useful to know and so is homocysteine imo

Fix your sleep without needing to rely on nootropics.

There is always another doctor that will take you on. Definitely get that checked! Good luck

might be worth adding to your list of "topics to explore" https://www.amazon.com/Toxin-Solution-Products-Destroying-Health/dp/0062427466/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=toxin+solution&qid=1599895733&sr=8-2 in the future

I think you'd benefit from Pizzorno's Toxin Sollution, in case this one doesn't just do it The tricky thing with aggressive detox is that you first need to ensure that your gut is ready to take that shitstorm otherwise lot of that stuff can be reabsorbed and recycled into liver especially if there is a bit of gut permeability. He starts from the gut to the liver and to the kidneys, seems he's had some good results and all of it is 100% evidence-based. The guy is one of the founders of Bastyr University for Naturopathic Doctors so seems like he knows his shit

Because that is selfish. You can be endlessly loving and enlightenment and still be sharing your talents with the world. I mean....what else are you gonna do with your life?

Btw this is complete and utter nonsense, sorry. The person who shares this sort of stuff and are a doctor should have their license taken away. The ONLY people who need to stay away from gluten are coeliacs. Even people who are intollerant to it are usually not allergic, they just need to have their gut healed. That being said there are ofcourse better alternatives but gluten DOES NOT give you cancer.

You really need to get this investigated properly. IBS does not bleed in most cases, IBD (Crohn's or Ulcerative Collitis) does. I'm afraid you may need a colonoscopy but seriously blood in stool is a red flag regardless of who you speak to. If your doctors ignores it, find a new doctor. Because it is red and not black, it means it is either somewhere in small intestines (most likely terminal ileum) or a colon which could indicate IBD, ulcer, polyps or something like that. This can DEFINITELY be driving your fatigue if you keep losing blood, you will be losing iron amongst other. Please go get checked and request a proper assessment which will include things like CRP, ESR, calprotectin and full IBD assessment including antibodies (they'll know what needs to be done) Happy to have a chat if you'd like some additional tips around getting this investigated

Is it visible red blood or does it appear more black? Like coffee granules in your stool?

You may need to get checked for sleep apnea. But this is hard to do without medical assessment.

Even worse than that, it is pure showmanship and posing. You see this all over social media, people making Instagram stories of that. It's a bit sad

You know your shit bruh! I heard about the thiol group being able to replace the mineral in their centre (is it magnesium?) with the metal but never knew how this really works. Thanks for clarifying

Thanks, I'll add this to my "to research" list. I'd say adding NAC to the potential free radical aftermath to increase glutathione could be helpful and a short term supplementation of powerful multivitamin and Zinc to mop-up any damage as that stuff is being moved around.

@Leo Gura Good point! Seems DMSA definitely has the largest amount of evidence behind it. I wonder about chlorella and other "so called" chelators. Shame we don't have many studies on those.

Haha let's just agree that we need to protect ourselves from all possible (large or small) sources. Yah tuna ain't good for ya.
