  1. @Raphael I would start here. If this is your breakfast, make it bigger. More complex carbs, more protein and more fats. Breakfast should basically be your largest meal, not only does it set your metabolism to the optimal speed, it also sets the tone of your blood glucose balance for the rest of your day and your blood glucose balance is one of your primal brain power factors. Perhaps you could combine your meal number 1 and 2 into a single breakfast meal that will give you 50-60% of your daily calories and then not eat till around d 3pm (lunchtime) The diet balance is nice but I'd suggest a bit more calories from complex carbohydrates (wholegrain, lentils), cutting out all white rice and white potatoes and replacing it with high-fibre wholegrains will also clear out a lot of brain fog Also, exercise definitely needs to be part of the routine. Not a light jog but a more rigorous strength-based form, this increases density of mitochondria in your brain cells and also stimulates BDNF. So either weights, or bodyweight, some kettlebells, HIIT with your own weight, pullups, pushups that kind of stuff. Also some agility training to deploy more areas of your brain (like primal movement, look up Ido Portal - that sort of stuff) Add some green tea in the mix. 2-3 cups per day to stimulate your neuroplasticity Make sure you go out, get some sunshine or at least expose your eyes to daylight every day, very essential for optimal brain performance. Make sure your zinc intake is optimal You can check my 2 part blog on BDNF as well as gut-brain axis post. I've put over 30 hours of research into those, you may find some helpful info in there, just follow my link in signature and click on "blog".
  2. @Eren Eeager i assume you are trying to tackle the ADD you mentioned in another post. Has the add been diagnosed medically? Have you had rigorous testing? Or did you self-diagnose and self-prescribe a chelation therapy? Just curious
  3. You may also ask for celiac testing, the test is called IgA & IgG tissue transglutaminase, your doctor can do it. If it comes positive, you will still need an intestinal biopsy to confirm. Other things that may be relevant is: sibo, lactose intolerance, enzymatic insufficiency, food allergies or food intolerances (not a diagnosis but a side effects of something else). Basically, you need some proper stool testing, probably including parasitic screening including candida albicans But it may be as simple as eating too much, too fat in an inappropriate combination. And it could be a combination of 10 things at the same time, which is most common, so if you don't see any help from a doctor, consider hiring a functional doctor or a naturopathic doctor or a trained herbalist
  4. Go in the forest, sit by the tree and observe. That's your enlightenment. Everything is perfect as it is, you just need to shift your perspective and remove all those 20,000 lenses of judgement, labelling, cultural background and preconceptions.
  5. agreed, it may be a factor but those levels will go down as less meat and more plants are consumed. Also the more fibre in the diet the less the prooxidative effects of heme iron in the colon is. Generally you want to get 80-100% of your iron from plants
  6. agreed, seems once you get over the healing stage, other foods should be reintroduced. Kind like your typical elimination diet
  7. @Lyubov ALT & AST don't indicate detox deficiency but they are indicators of physical damage to the liver. This could very much be connected to your cholesterol results and the bigger picture. Continue working on polishing your diet, removing junk and these values will improve. ELiminate most sources of white sugar, fructose (except fruit), alcohol, tobacco, foods with chemicals, excess salt, cheap oils in cooking. DOn't barbecue your meats, don't eat red meat, don't east cured meats, salamis, sausages and all this crap, this is incredibly toxic to liver. Get more active, eat more natural plant foods. You'll start feeling better. For particular liver benefit: citruses, apples, dandelion leaf to salads, green herbal spices, artichokes, green leafy vegetable, crucierous vegetables. I'd keep the thistle away for now, maybe at later stage, it may be too aggressive promoter of phase 1 detoxification which you don't want. Also careful with coffee. 1 per day is a good dose to aim for. You may also consider adding some herbal teas like ginger, turmeric & green
  8. I think the attempt is not to hurt anyone, the attempt is to get as much as possible, damn the costs or consequences. Hurting others is always only a nasty side effect of ruthless selfishness. Best way? Cut ties, forever.
  9. @Cocolove since making that comment I've gone a bit deeper into understanding allergies and it is a bit more complex than that. How's your gut health?
  10. this stuff works better in combination. The problem with lead chelation is that there are very few studies and so it comes down to doctors and naturopaths experimenting. For lead, it appears a combination of pharmaceuticals: DMSA & CaEDTA with NAC to buff up your glutathione. It appears this combination is more effective together than either alone. + add to the mix some botanicals like curcumin + garlic extract +black cumin seeds + a potent multimineral complex with high levels if vitamin E + extra vitamin C to bump up exogenous antioxidants,. Unfortunately here in the UK, DMSA is owned by medicine so you would need a doctor to support you...or get it from States but be careful and study this thoroughly before you get into it Also in terms of lead, first of all identify your main sources of exposure and cut those out.
  11. @Podie45 maybe get some part time, to cover up expenses & bills and spend the rest of the time thinking about your future, strategising and possibly re-educating yourself. As someone who has gone through the same process, it is worth every hour and all those thousands of dollars I invested in it. If you feels stuck, consider buying the LP course or get a life coach as suggested above
  12. Love this, maybe this is what it took to get out of your own way and to see what has been present for years just behind the wall of suppressed emotions. Happy for you!!
  13. @Rigel some time ago my answer would have been sardines, mackerel & wild Alaskan salmon. But now having looked into it deeper, I am losing faith in all seafood Salmon - most of it worldwide is heavily polluted even wild Alaskan & Pacific one. Contaminated with mercury, arsenic, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) & organochlorine pesticides (OCPs) Sardines - only trace amounts of mercury but extremely contaminated with PCBs & brominated flame retardants as well as arsenic mackerel - similar to sardine + 100% of fish are contaminated with microplastics Have it as a special treat food but I no longer agree with the suggestion that fish should be consumed 3 times a week. Maybe once. Oh and yeah, seaweeds are fine same as algae oil.
  14. I don't think you can wash it out completely. The pesticides are kinda ingrown, they are part of the cellulose structure. You can't wash that away but I guess putting a bit of extra work and rubbing will make sure that if the grocery guy scratched his butt before touching your strawberries, you don't eat that.
  15. I prefer Oat milks simply due to it being more sustainable imo and it is super easy and cheap to make it at home with a milk bag. Or home-made almond milk is nice but make sure to use the scraps and not throw it away
  16. but of course, the nature of survival doesn't end with animals
  17. @marinaaniram happy for you but not need to make duplicate post. You types exactly the same thing in the other post
  18. agreed, it was a depiction of the fact that as long as you are not on the top of food chain (and even then not) your survival is never guaranteed.
  19. appeal to nature in a consciousness development debate does not have a lot of power. In the nature, a predator will come and kill your babies. They will steal your infant, rip them to pieces and eat them and if they didn't have enough they will come back and kill you as well. Nature is the most merciless and savage place there is. Nothing is there to protect you, every creature is 100% selfish. If we lived by nature it would be completely normal for your neighbour to murder your entire family, occupy your home, take all your possessions and get away with it with 0 consequences,. To put it into perspective, the nature is a mix of the environment you see in Fallout, Borderlands or Mad Max. Complete and utter ruthless savagery
  20. @Lyubov was there anything else in the test you'd be comfortable sharing? How is your Blood Pressure? Did they measure CRP? Being a 29 year old male you may also consider asking for assessment for: * homocysteine * familial hypercholesterolemia * HbA1C This would help you get a bigger picture which includes: potential genetic inpout, blood sugar & whether there could be something else driving this. But generally as everybody above pretty much sad it, lose the belly and start eating natural whole foods. Perhaps consider reading one of Dr Michael Greger's Books.
  21. @freejoy oh man nice find !!
  22. in some countries this can get you in a lot of trouble. Then what, would you pepper spray the girl who slapped you? Or will you taze her? You know those things can give the victim an instant cardiac arrest especially in people with a preexisting heart condition (many have this but don't know about it). Would you say "but your higness, she slapped me?" as you're being escorted to serve your 30 year sentence?
  23. You can probably use your credit/debit card for payment? You should not need Paypal for that
  24. I got bad vibes about this 2019 post being reopened. Think about raising new topic folks
