  1. great point ! Also weak adrenal glands will not secrete sufficient cortisol to balance the blood sugar or will secrete way too much which will contribute to central obesity and eventually to Cushing's disease if you are very unlucky. Sleep is a big factor as well and largely underestimated contributor to weight gain and the amount of early morning heart attacks in developed nations. But in the end lots of it comes down to being lazy, overeating and making poor excuses....these will lead to obesity and obesity will start leading to hormonal problems so you get a genuine excuse.
  2. I assume we are talking about men who eat the standard american diet (SAD-Diet). There are couple things going on: progressive atherosclerosis from cholesterol deposits cause reduced blood flow to all parts of the body, penis including. This also leads to increasing blood pressure. Both are highly damaging to the inside of our arteries and veins called endothelium. there is a degree of insulin resistance even potentially pre-diabetes developed from the poor diet so there is a lot of sugar imbalance, further epithelial damage and insuling running completely bananas. massive amounts of free radical damage from fried foots, oxidated fats and poorly controlled sugar taxing body's antioxidants because the regular poor diet is extremely poor on exogenous antioxidants such as vitamin C, E, Selenium etc... a degree of adrenal fatigue from years of caffeine and stimulant taking and stress so cortisol is all over the place. lots of other issues with kidneys , liver, bone mass etc... Because wine is vasodilator and relaxant, it helps to get some blood into the penis that is otherwise getting clogged from horrible diet and lack of exercise. Stress is also a factor. Mental health is also affected by these since atherosclerosis affects all veins in the body and whether one ends up with the stroke or heart attack probably depends on what gets completely blocked first.
  3. Search the history, veganism has been discussed here many times before. You may finds lots of helpful tips just scrolling through recent pages on this forum subsection.
  4. I think this is answered in "Rant Against Morality" combined with "Spiral Blue" . Watch the two and you'll get the idea that sin is just unacceptance of the reality by dogmatic mind trying to manipulate the environment to favour its agenda.

  6. @moon777light That's very low indeed, and it is very common these days especially in females. It is a god indication of struggling adrenals as adrenal neurotransmitters such as epinephrine and norepinephrine control blood pressure as well as does aldosterone. Adrenals also secrete cortisol and when its out of balance you may get these sudden spikes. Do you also struggle with energy levels throughout the day and sugar cravings? I think you might benefit from a adrenal glandular tonic. This is usually a herbal tincture aimed to strenghten your adrenal glands, mainly containing licorice. Dr Morse has a few that I would probablygo for myself, I think he has 200 and 400. If you are in states, perhaps consider giving them a quick call to guide your choice. Or just chat to a good herbalist or functional doctor in your area and they may recommend something else. Avoiding stress and rigorous exercise during this treatment would probs. be a good idea.
  7. Most likely this is it. Is your blood pressure sub-optimal as well? Bellow 120/70. That's a good indication of adrenal; health.
  8. Maybe they are too low on electrolytes and yours are quite high so there is a big tension disparity upon touch. ...or maybe you are too charged from your PC and phone
  9. Coffee blocks absorbtion of Iron most of all. The things with calcium that because it is a positively charged ion, and has a alkaline-dominant PH, body often uses it to balance any acidity. Because coffee is quite acidic, excess may end up pulling a bit of calcium from bones. The research on coffee and osteoporosis is quite inconclusive though so hard to say what is the extend of the damage since we have other mechanisms to balance PH such as breathing and kidney excretion. And the bone loss can still be balanced when we get enough calcium and it just gets stored back.
  10. Dr Morse has a tincture called "Female Reproductive Tonic" with massively positive reviews from women saying their pains and PMS was gone. It can be bough in UK for around 24£. Perhaps give it a shot before your next cycle
  11. How do you know? Because the manufacturer told you? This shit is probably even more destructive than regular cigarettes but we just don't have the long term data yet. Inhaling chemical substances every single day is anything but good for you.
  12. I'd rather sleep on the kitchen table than sleeping with a phone under the pillow or anywhere close to me in fact. Just a personal opinion though..
  13. Depends on type of problem are you having.
  14. buy a bunch of sticky notes with 5 different colours. Assign a category to each colour notes For example. Green: Briliant insight - Top Priority Yellow: Moderate insight - quite useful Red: low importance insight but may come handy one day. And just every time you find something noteworthy, underline it with highlighter and stick a colour note accordingly. Granted, it does make the book look like 12 year old girl's diary but it does work.
  15. interestingly according to Matthew Walker who wrote "Why we Sleep?" there are two types of sleepers: 1. Morning larks who go to bed the usual times and wake up like 7-8. 2. Night owls who cannot fall asleep until late night and therefore prefer to wake up later. They are usually productive way later in the day. Walker says that unfortunate our society is not favourable to Night Owls and they are often considered lazy by our morning society. Whether you are 1 or 2 is genetically given and cannot be changed only repressed which causes you to "burn the candle both ends". They assume that this was so that in ancient times when people lived in tribes there would only be couple hours when entire group was sleeping and vulnerable and otherwise either one or the other part would be awake at any given time. If you think you are 2, trying to find a job that allows more flexible schedule could be helpful. That being said, sleeping problems could be related to adrenal weakness or general endocrine disbalance causing you random spikes in cortisol throughout the night. I would say herbal remedies are the best way to fix this so perhaps try speaking to a herbalist or a naturopath, they are the best bridge between modern and traditional medicines.
  16. Setup specific destination during which you will run. Such as from this tree to that or from this bench to this. Start by setting up let's say 5 of these in length of 100-300 meters. Based on how you feel at the end of each segment, you'll know if you have improved and may potentially either add more segments or stretch the existing ones. Pace yourself at your own speed, there are benefits to run-buddy but they can make you burn-yourself up to match speeds, just as many idiot trainers in the gym do who push people beyond their natural limits which may cause more harm than good to untrained individuals.
  17. Are you looking to get healthier/fitter or to deal with a health condition/disease?
  18. Imagine that Leo's video (for example) "rant against morality" would be taken to mainstream media and broadcasted to general public. Telling you to : "Be at peace with the most vicious and evil things because that's how it should have been and it could not be any other way". And now imagine the backlash from Orange/Blue/Green/ Red unconscious communities who live their dogmatic lives "according to rules". They would storm his house, throw stones at him and openly demonstrate against this ungodly video. Same they did to Jesus just 2000 years later with slightly less drastic consequences. Different times, different teachings and smaller scale of population but similar context.
  19. There is an amino acid in Green called Theanine. It can be bough as a supplement in the amounts 50-200mg at it has provne benefits for lifting depression and reducing stress or anxiety. It is not toxic and it is not addictive. Perhaps try that and see if it helps. For me personally coffee gives me a lot of anxiety and restless mind but perhaps could have different effect on others.
  20. They need to suffer more. An unconscious person will always look outward for help which means more materialism, more hedonism and eventually more depression. Let them know that you are there to help but leave it at that...the seed has been planted and now they need to suffer way more for them to be able to even listen to you. Also consider where on spiral dynamics are they sitting. Orange person sees meditation as something helping him to calm the nervous system, nothing else...and even on that they will be sceptical because there is "not enough double blind placebo trials"
  21. Are you able to be on your headphones while working? If so, you can listen to Leo's mp3's that can be downloaded on here. Or listen to great books on audible.
  22. "I am awfully sorry to bother you Madam but I do believe you may find my John Thomas rather fascinating. " (The UK)
  23. Yes i know this is a judgemental statement and it is a generalisation as well and a distraction. I'm curious about your thoughts on the topic anyways. Why is it that you can show smokers any gross pictures of fucked up lungs, take them to oncology clinic, bring up 10000 studies showing indisputable link between smoking and lung cancer...yet what they do? Laugh and blow the smoke into your face saying their grandma smoked and lived up to 95. What drives the person to be so ignorant to their health? Is it the ego trying to prove that it knows better? Is disputing smokers only making them more stubborn?
  24. How old are you and whats your current financial status? Would you be able to leave your parents and find a rental or share-rent apartment?
