  1. Just to warn any of you who want to follow the advice Leo gives in this blog it is NOT safe to mega dose vitamin D as Leo states on this blog, "It is safe to mega-dose Vitamin C and Vitamin D3 for short periods of time. I would do so immediately if I felt sick. A mega-dose of Vitamin C might be 5,000mg to 10,000 per day and a mega-dose of Vitamin D3 might be 10,000 to 20,000 IU. I would only mega-dose a few days at a time if I was sure I was sick." I have been taking 50mg of Vitamin D for the last week and have ended up getting vitamin toxicity which can be very serious which has lead to kidney pain, bones aching all over, nausea, constipation, fatigue and constant urination. I would recommend no more than 10mg of Vitamin D a day and refrain from Leo's advice of mega dosing this stuff.
  2. Im back on the vitamin D. Just to update you all It wasn't Vitamin D toxicity it was strength training overload. So i'm gonna take this groups advice and try 5000IU a day plus 50mcg of K2 to manage the calcium levels.
  3. Im also in England and do it often its really fun exercising in nature. Ge wooden rings they are better. I got these - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gravity-Fitness-wooden-Gymnastic-Rings/dp/B07FPJRPX4/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=5billion+rings&qid=1605998211&sr=8-4 best 35 pound ive ever spend. Once you get strong enough invest in a weighted belt and do weighted rings attatching bottles of water to you - 1 litre of water = 1kg
  4. no worries mate i do it everyday check out a guy call trainingpal on youtube. Ive been doing it 4 times a week and my strength is decent - heres some ideas to get you going.
  5. What type of yoga is best for bone and ligament health?
  6. look into gymnastic rings. Most of the exercises you do on there are very good for muscle and you can throw them up on tree branches at your convenience. No need to get a gym membership.
  7. https://9gag.com/gag/aMxLqxR https://9gag.com/gag/a8GgK03 This is the current situation in the capital of Uganda, Kampala. The people rose against the dictatorship of the current president and he responds with tyranny and killing innocent civilians. This lady was almost killed by a soldier deployed to contain the riots.
  8. This forum is like being at a meet up with my mother and her friends
  9. This is a moment where we can all look at the shadow side of us and see how hard it would be to do what Leo is doing here - It would be so easy to use the status for egoic gains but the fact that he has such a powerful vision for Actualized says it all. It makes me think about the controversy surrounding Mooji and whether or not he did exploit his position. PS i think what he was doing was not exploitative and if anything was a clever way of finding a mate.
  10. John Butler beautifully teaches a stage blue person how to change their ways
  11. I think this would be a very useful Actualized video which I would be very interested in watching as I feel Leo is excellent at doing research properly
  12. I meant to type 50mcg and i still believe it was this dosage that messed me up. I was fine prior to this dosage and after taking it I got all the symptoms of vitamin D toxicity, now i have come off it I am fine again, which makes it strange to hear you all reporting taking such massive amounts.
  13. I dont think its anything else although I have a cough which is unrelated to it. Ill keep you updated and im going to take a couple of months off supplements.
  14. Thats way too much unless you have vitamin deficiency like Michael said. I would go down considerably as you don't wanna be bed bound for a few days with this like i have been.
  15. Well it wasn't happening before I took Vitamin D and now it is. All those symptoms have suddenly come up since i've been taking 50mg of vitamin D a day. There was one day I took 70mg. The research shows that these are the symptoms of Vitamin toxicity.
  16. osteoporosis runs in my family so I want to make sure i keep my calcium levels up for bone density. My dad has very weak bones now. He was told he had high cholesterol about 20 years ago so he cut out dairy products which he believes caused it. I watched a few documentaries about 5 years ago one being forks over knives which claims dairy is a bad source of calcium so I cut it out. Over the duration of these 5 years I feel my bones are getting weaker. The research seems to be divided on this topic with no clear evidence saying whether or not diary is a good source. I feel this is a crucial life decision to make as it could make a difference whether I am healthy as I age or start to become weak. What are peoples verdicts in this forum about whether or not to eat dairy for bone health?
  17. The above comment was responding to this.
  18. Wow thats some great information thanks for that. How can you be sure that "Despite popular claims dairy is NOT associated with reduced osteoporosis risk"? As there seems to be evidence for both being correct. Maybe just to be sure i'll cut milk and cheese in favour of leafy greens and plant based milk?
  19. “Life is really simple but we make it complicated” Confucious. Could it be true that we are over thinking things with all this philosophising and it's bringing in more worries? All these questions and contemplations? In Chinese the word question and problem is the same word (问题) as for them its the same, maybe there is some value to this? How about just rising above all these questions (by being awareness) and watching all the problems disappear? The key to me is not the problem itself but what you are identified with when you see the problem. If it's awareness then the problem doesn't remain around for very long.

  21. the work by Byron Katie:
  22. I agree that life is nuanced and needs complexity. I am massively into the topics you talk about like politics, societies, developmental psychology etc. The problem I have is with the deep existential questions as from my experience using the mind to question whether or not life is an illusion or what is death just creates existential angst which can be better dealt with in stillness.
