@Max_V if you are unsure on how to thrive on vegan/vegetarian diet I'd suggest read Dr Michael Gregger's book "How Not to Die." This is purely based on collection of scientific research, no bullshit. Very easy to read and packed with potentially life saving information for some people. Give it a go

@Charlotte Quick search on NCBI showed peppermint oil https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4289931/ as well as levander oil https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4843973/ to have some effect Didn't read the whole thing though so have a look at both papers before trying anything yourself Other than that minerals like Zinc, Iron, Selenium Vitamins A, E and certain B vitamins may be helpful, ideally taken in form of food not supplement. Adopting a wholefood diet could be a way to help boost the hair growth and quality since it is really easy to get in all these nutrients.

One of the best videos out there. No bullshit, based on actual research.

@Leo Gura They will get another chance in the next incarnation. I know I am deviating from the topic but care to explain how exactly do you mean that?

@Quader if I can add my 2 cents. What convinced me the most was a document called Eartlings - Land of Hope. I would encourage you to watch it full and formulate your opinion on that. This is what it takes to develop the awareness, this is the movie that woke me up.

@Marinus there is an overhwleming evidence that diet is related to acne. Milk is the number 1 suspect https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21335995 "Both, restriction of milk consumption or generation of less insulinotropic milk will have an enormous impact on the prevention of epidemic western diseases like obesity, diabetes mellitus, cancer, neurodegenerative diseases and acne." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2715202/ "The evidence assembled here suggests that dairy-sourced hormones, not being subject to any innate feedback inhibition, may be the source of the androgenic and mitogenic progestins that drive acne, prostate and breast cancer." https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27241803 Consumption of low-fat/skim milk, but not full-fat milk, was positively associated with acne. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15692464 We found a positive association with acne for intake of total milk and skim milk. We hypothesize that the association with milk may be because of the presence of hormones and bioactive molecules in milk.

@pluto , yeah spirulina is a Blue-green algae and Chlorella is green Algae. BG and G have slight difference in cellular structure, the way the feed, reproduce and where they are located. They are also different in nutritional density so taking both is a good idea to complement. The only downside of Spirulina is that it is ridiculously difficult to digest, the cellular wall is nearly unbreakable by the chloric acid. That goes both way for Chlorella however there are companies who produce both in a very digestible manner. I do not have much experience with Spirulina but the most reputable source of Chlorella I found is SunChlorella in Kyoto, Japan who use the DYNO-mill method https://www.sunchlorella.co.uk/products/what-is-chlorella which allows nearly 100% digestibility, they have donated some of their products to research, there were few studies on NCBI, look them up if you are interested . A packing of 1500 of these costs 130 USD on Amazon, a bit cheaper here, in UK. Don't have any E3 experience myself since it is nearly impossible to obtain here unless I would want to pay some ridiculous custom tax but their products seem to have a lot of good reviews.

haha nice workaround mind can only focus on one thing at a time eh?

Many of the "fast readers" actually just fly unconsciously through the book and end up remembering nothing. I used to do that so that I could brag about how many books I've read. Yes, you can probably do that with crappy vampire books but a true valuable book may take weeks, or even few months of note taking, underlining, practising and rewinding. Perhaps instead of that, think where you are wasting time in your daily schedule that could also be invested into reading.

Exactly as @pluto said. Why would you eat the fish oil when you can get it from the very prime source. Blue&Green and Green Algae are the ancient forefather of all live on this planet. They are one of the most potent plants on this planet if not the most potent. The speed with which they replicate is mad! Yes, fish oil does give you the levels of ALA and DHA that one needs to protect from cardiovascular diseases and brain degradation but along with it come all the pollutants contained in the oceans like mercury, cadmium POPs, plastics and pharmaceutical drugs. Ever heard of the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch"? Goggle it before putting another capsule of FO in your mouth. And no, Algae do not take in that stuff, if anything algae help you pull that stuff out of your body. E3 Live from Klamath Lake in Oregon, is probably one of the best products on US market currently. This stuff is now becoming quite affordable for majority of population to buy.

do not go to the business school....

Powerful stuff indeed! Curcumin is the component that is so appreciated in it. Very powerful in GIT/respiratory cancers, inflammations and bacterial infections even shown to slow down the alcohol intoxication. The only issue with Curcimin is its poor digestability and low bioavailability which often leads to overdose causing rash, diarrhoea, nausea and headaches. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3535097/ Excellent summary of various studies.

Heard that people have been able to cure cancers with it , fight infections etc but you can do that on a Wholefood diet with active lifestyle. This seems a bit bonkers. .. Why would you flush back all the toxins, heavy metals and pollutants that your kidneys, spleen and liver have worked so hard to remove? There is probably something that can be recycled that goes away during the Urea Cycle but seriously, there is a reason why it's called waste product....but I might just be biased by western education. I'd prefer to drink fresh wheatgrass every morning which tastes equally shitty but gives you tremendous amounts of nutrients and even helps removal of toxins. Instead of looking what to start doing, it is sometimes better to look into what to STOP doing.

B12, Chlorella, Vit D(only in days when I don't get out)

awesome news! many of those have been a game-changer. Thanks Leo !

Go to your local book store and buy a few books on nutrition to get you started. You'll get a lot of contradicting and biased opinions on forums like this one. Get started by educating yourself on macro and micro nutrients, enzymes, hormones and all aspects related to basics of nutrition. Look into multiple perspectives to make sure you are not just getting a single-sided opinion. Once you get the basics handled you'll slowly get on the proper path by being armed with knowledge not other people's opinions.

Leo mentioned several people in his "grand model of psychological evolution." ( Eben Pagan, Ken Wilbur, ...., ) I was wondering if you guys are familiar with some other less known people out there who have amazing context but perhaps do not get enough followers or views to be better known. Thanks

@Nahm wait...what?

Even thinner people may have a lot of visceral fat deposited inside of their body, around organs, digestive tract, etc... Perhaps you had larger deposits of the deep fat tissue and the increased activity level helped you get rid of some of it. A body weight is generally not a good indicator to track progress. Instead either invest or find one of those fancy machines to help you track muscle mass/bone density / body fat % and check yourself month by month. Also an additional note, guys in gym tend to focus to much on the obvious muscles, upper arm, chest and abs while the largest muscles in your body are Latissiumus Dorsi (the wings), Gluteus Maximus (butt), quadriceps femoris ( front thigh) and hamstring. Put more focus on your back and legs. Invest in heavy weight exercises such as deadlifts, squads, rows or frontal squads and combine them with lots of pullups and lunges and you'll definitely see your weight shifting. Not to mention that dead lift and squad work many muscles of your upper body as well. Just make sure you have proper technique, ideally chat with a trainer if you haven't done them before.

check the work of Dr W.H. Dr. Bates, he has many books on amazon. Do your research first before looking into it as it has been a controversial method but I heard that it helped many people. They say it involves hours and months of practice so be ready for that as well.

https://actualized.org/start he already made that decision for you

Most suits are made out of synthetic materials. These not only suffocate your skin and block the natural flow of your energy (Chi, life force, whatever you want to call it) and most of all they seep toxic chemicals that you are breathing. Toxin riddled body is unlikely to be very conscious since it has to spend so much energy getting rid of all the crap. Loose clothes made of cotton or linen are definitely a way to go. With that loose undergarments for men ( or none at all) and no bras for females to allow free expansion of the breast tissue and sufficient blood circulation. . Of course this may not be accepted at work but at home,this is definitely way to go.

I would suggest if you really want to do supplements, find a wholefood source, a bacterial-based supplement. Eating synthetic vitamins will do you more harm than good - have a look at "Supplements Exposed by Brian Clement"

@ppfeiff I've signed up with a college focused on naturopathic medicine and will be studying towards Naturopathic degree. It is not the same as medical degree of course but I don't really care about that. And at the same time just trying to do what I can, study as much as possible, work on starting my blog. It will probably take a while but it is what keeps me going at this shit company where I'm currently at.

@Leo Gura really curious about your thoughts on this
