  1. @Raptorsin7 I believe you can slow it down, i've seen that happen. In terms of reversal, it depends on the cause. If all men in your family are bald and you started balding as a teenager that won't be reversible because there will be a powerful genetic drive If the cause os something like excess growth factors, excess DHT, iron deficiency, thyroid, stress I believe those can be reversed or at least stopped.
  2. not if you eat the right carbs, the pathway converting glucose to fat is so freaking complex and energy demanding that you have to either eat just the shitties carbs like white rice and croissants or just have to eat massive excess of food in general. For example you could eat 5000 calories worth of legumes a day and wouldn't get any fatter, you'd just turn into a shitting machine. Same way you could eat 10,000 calories worth a fruit a day and you'd probably lose weight rather than gain any. Otherwise carbs don't make you fat. What makes you fat is high carb and high fat at the same time, e.g. typical western diet.
  3. sight.... https://core.ac.uk/reader/81939153?utm_source=linkout In this current study the authors examined 137 mummies from populations of four disparate geographic regions. Mummies were studied by whole-""bodycomputed tomography scanning and included specimens from AncientEgypt, the Roman Era, Ancient Peru, and five cultures from SouthwestAmerica (ca 1500BCEto 1500CE, five evacuation sites). Finally, there were five ancient Unargan specimens from the Aleutian Islands of modern-day Alaska. Mummies were selected for imaging on the basis of a good state of preservation and the likelihood of being an adult. Random selection was not used. The population examined spanned>4000 years. Atherosclerosis was regarded as definitive if the calcified plaque was seen on the wall of an artery and considered probable if artery calcifications were seen along the expected course of an artery. Of the 137 mummies, 47(34%) demonstrated probable or definitive atherosclerosis: 29 of 76 AncientEgyptians (38%), 13 of 51 Ancient Peruvians (25%), two offive ancestral Puebloans (40%), and three offive Unangan hunter-gatherers (60%;P¼not significant). Atherosclerosis was present in the aorta in 20% ofmummies, the iliac/femoral arteries in 18%, the popliteal/tibial arteries in18%, carotid arteries in 12%. and the coronary arteries in only 4%. Of thefive vascular beds examined, atherosclerosis was present in one to two beds in 25% of mummies, in three to four beds in 8%, and all five vascular beds in only 1%". https://www.arabworldbooks.com/en/e-zine/medicine-in-ancient-egypt-part-2-of-3 A good description of angina pectoris (heart attack) is demonstrated in the Ebers Papyrus: “shouldst though examine a patient with stomach disease suffering from pain in the arms, in the breast, and on one side of the stomach, say: “Death threatens’” and “If thou examinst a man for illness in his cardia, and he has pains in his arm, in his breast, and in side of his cardia, and it is said of him: it is w3d illness, then thou shalt say thereof: it is due to something entering the mouth it is death that threatens him.

  4. @Preety_India may also just be a PMS, there are over 500 symptoms women can experience anything from anxiety to anger attacks to swelling joints & ankles to breast tenderness & acne.
  5. You can't be serious bringing this psychopath on here as a serious form of valid data dude. This guy makes shit up on the go. He has poisoned himself couple times eating stuff like roadkill, has been arrested for harassment and is literally encouraging people to eat rotten animal corpses. In a way he is a last resort of people who cannot find a way to fix their digestion and are regressing into these dark corners of youtube. For the firs time ever they feel good having eliminated all fibre and suddenly they think they are cured. Yet sverige himself said many times when he eats fibre he feels terrible. He still watches people like Dr Morse because he knows that this shit will probably kill him but he has built up too much of a following & momentum to stop now. You know sometimes I wonder if guys like Sv3rige, Bobb's Pespective, Frank Tufano, Daphne Reloaded, Primal Edge are stage Orange regressing into stage red as a form of ego backlash because of how viciously they have been assaulted by dogmatic stage orange vegans like Vegan Gains and just the larger vegan community. People like Diana Rogers who actually became dietitians so they can spread their nonsense agendas (she even claimed this herself on Instagram that getting a degree will help her push more cattle products to people) I see an incredible amount of evil viscousness and hatred behind these guys' message. I recall they were trying to get Gojiman kicked out of school when he disputed their nonsense. Sometimes their followers will dox people's channels etc. It is a fascinating dynamics but very dangerous for most of its followers. Whenever you see a person following carni movement what you see is complete and utter lack of empathy, kindness and an incredible amount of vicious arrogance and agressivity which is why I think this is a stage red backlash against green's pressure
  6. @Preety_India have you checked your body temperature? Do you have a fever?
  7. you should be able to spot trolls fairly quickly: 1. usually no photo 2. often silly name 3. low post count 4. using a lot of profanity, exclamation marks and CAPS 5. opening old posts 6. replying to people with comments such as ROFL, LOL, and generally talking shit But make a distinction between someone genuinely trying and just not getting it and someone deliberately taking piss (report the latter)
  8. yes and the consensus is achieved through observing of decades of human data on a lot of real world experience of real people. Granted most of these studies are cohorts, you can't randomize people by giving one group " nice diet" and the other "artery-clogging" diet and see what happens, that would be unethical hence we have no randomized trials on this topic. Regardless of how you feel about it with every 10% rise in LDL and non-HDL cholesterol, people die more, younger and have less chance of reversal. If somebody says these numbers don't mean anything because x, y, z they are being a fool and you can be as sceptical as you want but the majority of population will benefit from keeping their cholesterol low and reducing the intake of saturated fatty acids and animal meat is one of the best ways to achieve that
  9. @JonasVE12 it's been quite fascinating to read on this journey. Does the method have ways to objectively tests once you are done? How would you assess whether the toxin load has decreased besides physical symptoms?
  10. you're right, it does not fix the root cause but something like SIBo could have been developing for 20 years through slow gradual dysbiosis. If you can restore the balance, you can fix the problem. A root cause could have been a lifestyle Leo has in his early youth which has now been completely changed but now he has to take more aggressive measures to restore the balance of the microbiome. Kinda like when cancer treatment is addressing something that has been developing for 40 years. Even if the person changed their lifestyle sometimes they may still need to do chemo to buy themselves more time. Once chemo is successful and lifestyle is transformed, the chances of cancer coming back are much smaller.
  11. This can be one of your main triggers & drivers actually. Gut-brain connection is a new emerging powerful therapeutic area for mental health. When was the last time you felt well? What has changed since then? How is your overall lifestyle? (exercise, diet, relaxation, sleep). Happy to have a chat if you'd like But generally, your day-to-day decisions especially around what you put in your mouth and how you spend the active time will make all the difference here. Also, consider testing your Vitamin D levels.
  12. does not matter what some random doctor on the internet believes, the consensus of the evidence is that the higher your non-HDL cholesterol, the higher your risk of premature mortality, stroke and myocardial infarction, end of story. We have data frommhundreds of thousands of people to show for this. These sorts of claims are incredibly dangerous and misleading to the general public most of whom will die from heart disease due to clogged up arteries. Calcification is just a side effect of macrophage accumulation, not the cause. Once you see a calcification spreading, you know you've bought a one way ticket to the afterlife Mikhaila same as her lunatic father have been called out for sharing bullshit and pseudoscience. Not somebody I would consider a genuine and reliable sources especially since she interviews only carnivores a same way a vegan youtube never gets non-vegans on podcast. absolutely not true, fructose in isolation leads to fatty liver disease (such as eating high fructose corn syrup, protein bars and drinking fizzy drinks) and so does being obese, being diabetes, eating a lot of meat, junk, being inactive, being hypertensive and generally not caring about health. There is zero evidence showing that fruit leads to NAFLD and I would beg you to share some data with me if you find it. Fruit is protective from all forms of disease including cardiovascular disease, cancer, kidney disease, hepatic disease & dementia. Anyone who discourages consumption of fruits has no idea what they are talking about. Even for diabetics, fruit is helpful and can help them reverse the condition. Even dried fruit!
  13. @Bogdan make sure you don't idealize Gojiman, he has been called out on a lot of his bullshit. Yes, he offers a lot of good value but not everything he says or believes is true
  14. don't consider, buy it (no bias here ...well maybe a bit ) As you work on that, make sure to fix your diet and optimise your overall lifestyle. 3 proper regular meals, no skipping, no replacing meals with juices, you need to feed that scattered brain some proper nourishment. Add 30 seconds of cold morning shower followed by 20 minutes of meditation + 20 minutes of some light exercise at home or a jogg followed by a green tea & proper breakfast, you'll see a level of attention you've never had before. If you fancy add a Ginkgo extract to it as well (if you are not on meds). You can also check out my 2 part blog article on BDNF here, this may help you start reshaping your brain through your lifestyle choices Do all that and you'll see a nice improvement in your ADD. Good luck!
  15. @intotheblack try this as your next step https://actualized.org/life-purpose-course Changed my life and probably at least 300 other people on this forum. Best investment I've ever made
  16. Get some basic testing done, make sure they include iron and vitamin D in it as well. Is there any chance you simply lack direction and purpose in life? I found in my life whenever I'm working on something I am passionate about, I easily get a laser focus and into the flow whereas if I'm force to do something I don't feel any connection to (e.g. some shitty excel spreadsheet at work) it takes me forever and I get distracted very easily
  17. If this was possible, as a experiment I'd love to see our world without coffee for 1 month. You'd probably see rise in cocaine "sales"
  18. unreliable, unregulated and a waste of money, most evidence on this testing finds very little accuracy and specificity @intotheblack diet & lifestyle will be of primal importance as it has already been suggested. Systemic toxicity is nothing to discard either but I'd start by fixing your diet first. What you eat has tremendous impact on your cognitive profile. Also your gut health impacts your brain more than you know
  19. It is possible that the alcohol itself is what was causing the migraine in the first place, progressive damage to the liver, impaired detoxification and more migraines as a result of that which you "self-medicated" by alcohol giving you even more headaches. Does that kind make sense? you gotta get to the root cause of this not suppress it. Both paracetamol and caffeine could be driving your headaches. Caffeing is a common cause of headaches and paracetamol (over long term) will harm your liver, depriving you of effective detoxification -> more headaches as toxins get reabsorbed. + it may also be worth exploring gut health, after years of alcohol abuse, gut permeability could be suspected, another driver of headaches See your doctor, get some testing done, potentially even brain MRI if you can get it. Make sure you don't ignore pain in the head or try to suppress it endlessly, it will catch up with you.
  20. thanks for thinking that but I have many of my own biases @Arthur it was sorta interesting until he said that basically you need to stay away from fruit because it is bad for immune system lol. He thinks sugar in chocolate and sugar in fruit is the same and axcts the same way, I sense a very stinking keto low-carb agenda behind this guy. There is UNDISPUTABLE evidence that fruit benefits all health systems and reduces all-cause mortality. He put it as his Number 1. He also says beans & seeds are toxic which couldn't be further from the truth. The stuff around dairy, margarine and sweeteners was alright
  21. are you thinking of becoming a spiritual guide / therapist or a coach?
  22. Had friends from London visiting, we hiked over 50 km in 3 days, so much to explore, it never ceases to amaze me how beautiful the Welsh countryside is. I've discovered a rock with hundreds of tiny fossils, evidently, these things can be up to 400 million years old, that's insane. They say this country was once all covered by the ancient ocean, sometimes makes me wonder what it all looked like back then. Looking at these tiny spiral shapes in the 400mil year old rock made me realise how insignificant we are and just how it all comes to a nice spiral in the end....a strange loop perhaps is a nice way to say it. I have way more time to read and research than I had back in London, the life in that city, it seems, isn't just attuned to having a peace of mind. Me and my girlfriend did a bit of beach cleaning and within 20 minutes we had a bag filled to burst with plastic shit. Felt good but made me realise how much we've screwed up our seas and oceans. Maybe this is one of the reasons why people are sicker and sicker each year, it is all coming back to us from our plastic-filled food. The clinic has been picking up nicely, I've been looking a lot into many new conditions and am discovering some insane connections especially with the latest research on gut-brain-microbiome connection. The stuff I'm discovering is unlike anything I knew even 2 months ago. The human body is such a miraculous wonder machine and it amazes how much everything is connected and how ignorant modern medicine has become. Perhaps that's why they are massively failing in treating chronic conditions. So much stuff is falling in place and a lot of gaps I had in more systemic understanding are filling up. But I feel even if I keep this pace for the next 30 years, I'll never really get to understand the whole thing. Toxicity has never been a thing when I studied, we did not have a single lecture on environmental toxins, heavy metals, pesticides , PCBs or any of that crap but now reading Pizzorno's 2018 book I'm realizing how incredibly deep this rabbit hole goes. I will need to educate myself much more on spotting the signs & symptoms of systemic toxicity and conducting powerful detoxification programmes with my clients the worst thing is that what we currently know is probably only a top of the iceberg and wich each month new stuff is coming out.
  23. attracting spammers, locking the topic
  24. @levani bro get an instapot and your cooking issues will be fixed, you'll save hours of time. Also don't rely on fasting to drop weight that's a short term solution, a change of mindset needs to happen for permanent weight loss. Time to stop dicking around & get serious.
  25. Michael Greger's: How not to Diet & How not to dieT Cookbooks are a great entry point into healthy colourfully meals Some of those recipes are raw. If you however want 100% raw, check some of Christina Bucaram's (Fully Raw Christina) stuff or you could check some of Freelee's stuff as well. Beware you may be entering a new dimension once exposed to fruitarians & raw foodies so don't say you haven't been warned
