@SuperLuigiAgree 100% with @pluto . 136 Day Juice Fast -- elevated my life on every level: physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally. True bliss. Cured many dis-eases as well (back-acne, fatigue, & IBS). Cooked foods do have a dramatically slower bowel-transit time, and can collect in the colon over time. If you don't believe me, do a colonic and see the unbelievable amount of old SHIT that is stuck in your colon, which most likely is a major contributing cause to many of your current ailments. Cheers! Anyway, sounds like your pancreas (responsible for digesting) is weak. You may also want to supplement with herbs (tinctures or teas) to target this weakness, such as Gentian, Milk Thistle, Chickweed, Marshmallow, Bitters, Dandelion Root, Dock Family (Yellow Dock, Burdock, Oregon Grape Root), Ginger, and the Mint Family. Look up Dr. Morse on YouTube for more info Him and John Rose saved my life.

@h inandout Do you seriously think diet is NOT a significant factor in health?

@h inandout Have you tried dry fasting? It does wonders for clearing clogged kidneys and helping them to filter out lymph again. It was one of the strongest tools which turned my years of perfectly transparent urine (! if your urine is clear, where is your lymphatic waste NOT going?? I'd be concerned if my urine was transparent every morning...) to cloudy urine full of lymphatic waste (this is definitely a good thing). While I haven't necessarily seen worms escape my body from dry fasting per say, I DID see worms escape by body after 28 days of master cleanse. Crazy stuff.

@h inandout Is dis-ease caused by dehydration? Or is dis-ease correlated with dehydration? Your argument is similar to the modern-day nutrition deficiency paradigm. If patient x has dis-ease y because of vitamin deficiency z, then patient x needs to supplement more vitamin z. However the root underlying cause is NOT necessarily vitamin z deficiency. Patient x may be deficient in vitamin z due to an absorption and utilization issue, NOT because their diet is inherently deficient in vitamin z. Therefore the root cause is malabsorption and or poor utilization, NOT deficiency. Many of our health issues today stem from excess, not lack: Diets consisting of excess protein, excess fat, excess isolated sugar, excess processed foods, excess animal products, etc. Why do you need to make the conscious labor of drinking 2L+ of water per day just to stay hydrated and "healthy"? Where did these numbers come from? Yes I agree hydration on a cellular level is critical for health, but dehydration is not the root cause of dis-ease. Dehydration is consequence, however, of cells trapped by their acid waste interstitially, which is the cause of dis-ease. The acid waste prevents the cell from proper absorption and utilization of water. 2L+ of water per day, while may be helpful in such a situation, will NOT address the root issue. It's simply a band-aid for most people. Where does the acid waste come from? Why are our cells trapped by their own waste? For most people, it's because of poor diet, even relative to the standards of most "health-nuts." 1 Critical Factor: Excess protein diet = Excess Acid or Metabolic Debris from breaking down protein to amino acids = Strain on Kidneys and inevitable clogging of kidneys longterm = Stagnant lymph fluid (the bathroom of your cells!) because of kidney inefficiencies (your kidney's filter out your lymph!) = Stagnant acid waste interstitially (your cells go to the bathroom! If the bathroom is clogged, that is your lymph pathways, their waste isn't going anywhere!) = hyper- and hypo-activity of cells = organ inefficiencies, dehydration, malabsorption, etc. = "dis-eases" How much protein is too much protein? Raw fruits and vegetables is all you need Fix the underlying cause, and you'll be plenty hydrated from consuming just water-rich juicy fruits and tender leafy vegetables No need for numbers such as "at least 2L of water" per day to be hydrated and healthy. Cheers!

@Shroomdoctor Depends where you're at my friend. Have you done any form of extended detoxification (e.g. raw vegan diet without nuts and seeds, juice fasting, fruit fasting, etc.)? I do not recommend jumping straight into a water fast otherwise... Toxins hurt coming out just as they come hurt coming in, and water fasting will convert your body into a ruthless detoxification machine. If we're too toxic, this process can actually be too much for the body to handle all at once. I experienced this even after 136 days of a Juice Fast to test how clean I was... I felt extremely ill after 48 hours of water fasting and had to break it early--I clearly had more work to do

@CGeo I eat nuts and seeds only occasionally when I'm not in detoxification mode. Otherwise, I keep them to a minimum--they're generally mucus forming and tough on the kidneys since breaking down their proteins produces a lot of metabolic waste. They do taste wonderful nonetheless!

@realname $39.99.

Side-Note: For anyone who has tried the trial version of Outline, loves it, and wants to buy the non-educational (standard) license, coupon code MACNEWPRICE3191 will get you 15% off the original price!

@Space In the version I recently downloaded, I can right click on a section in the "NOTEBOOKS" finder, select "Copy Link to This Section" in the splash window, and paste the link in other sections or even notebooks, thus creating the internal linking I think both Leo and you describe I also went ahead and purchased a full version after the trial. So excited!!!

@Leo Gura Will do!

Update: Outline has a 14-day Free Trial on their website: http://outline.ws/mac I was sold in 5 minutes. It's a gorgeous Mac alternative to OneNote, with many of the bells and whistles that OneNote has, AND saving notebooks locally AND no subscription fees AND has an educational discount for a one time payment of $23.99. That's it. Done. I am satisfied. Looking forward to incorporating this infrastructure change and watching it pay dividends for all the time to come Cheers!

@Joyboy Have you used Outline? I'm looking at it on the app store... It looks promising. Would you recommend it?

Has anybody found a OneNote alternative for Mac? The inability to save notebooks locally is simply a deal breaker for me, not to mention extremely frustrating because otherwise OneNote seems like a fantastic application. The bottom line: If all your precious notes are on a company "cloud" server, who is truly in control of the privacy and preservation of that information? I think I'll stick to local storage with my own backups and applications that aren't subscription based indefinitely... I tried looking into Bear and Evernote, although I run into either local storage or subscription issues... Any pointers to software that isn't abandoned by the developers? Cheers!

@Chrissy j I posted a response to a similar question in an older thread (with bulleted pros & cons!).

I hope one day we'll look back at this age in horror that people needed to collect paper just to live in a society... The amount of human energy that is harvested by chasing money is sick. Money truly is the ultimate tool of control. Why else do we have money to begin with? We live on an abundant planet.

@Joseph Maynor What's your life purpose? Are you currently living it?

Long thread going on here about the same topic:

@Siim Land Good tips However, you may want to do some more research into your germ theory and what the "flu" actually is. If you need to wash your hands constantly to keep away from "sickness," how healthy are you really? Dis-ease, the "flu," and the "cold" are bodily processes. Viruses and infections don't stand a chance in a healthy human body. Cheers.

Why do you think you need protein in supplemented form?

Two words my friend: Dr. Morse. Leading a life astray from nature's way inevitably produces negative effects. These negative effects are simply your body's way of reminding you that you're doing something wrong, or ortherwise what is optimal for you. Fortunately, if you live according to nature's design, you can be sure you'll be rewarded from positive effects in the form of robust health. I invite you to search for your issue on Dr. Morse's YouTube channel and explore the truth for yourself

Can someone be so kind and explain this point to me? I don't understand it. Don't you lose all the benefits of nofap as soon as you have sex with a girl? It's just confusing because many who spout nofap cite meeting more girls and having sex with them as a benefit. Honestly, in my experience, over indulging in masturbation is equivalent to over indulging in sex (if you're ejaculating that is). They're both draining in excess. And actually I've found it even easier to over indulge in sex because it is so pleasurable and "real" over masturbation, if you have the right partner (or wrong lol) that is. I agree that there are some benefits to nofap, it's just the logic of the above benefit makes no sense from my perspective. If you really want the long-term benefits of "no-fap," isn't it a bit clever to conveniently allow sex in this picture? You're still ejaculating either way (assuming you ejaculate whenever you have sex). IMO, if you really want the benefits, it need not stop at masturbation no? What about celibacy? Cheers.

@Leo Gura Good points. You're right. I do have to say, however, I truly don't think you're grasping the significant link between health and spirituality. Enlightenment is not possible if the foundation is weak: the body. This is physical in nature, and no amount of mental gymnastics can circumnavigate this fact. Even the Buddha recognized this fact when he abandoned his asceticism, seeing a weak body cannot support the highest pursuits of the spirit, and he finally had a meal for nourishment of his body. I'm going to make the bold claim that enlightenment is rare because virtually everybody in this society has a weak foundation (i.e. weak body). Diseases and ailments of any kind are simply the body's negative feedback loop informing us that something is wrong. We're making a mistake, and manifesting the consequences. Look around and tell me who doesn't have diseases and ailments of any kind? Virtually everybody in this society is eating a high-protein, high-processed, acidic and "dead" diet. If you don't believe me, put your hand in a fire and let me know what happens to the outter cells in your hand. If what I'm saying is true, any serious student of spirituality and enlightenment would not simply discount this information because of practical inconvenience. With a strong enough why, you can bury any how. How bad do you want enlightenment? And by the way, there is a HUGE f*cking difference between 80 or even 90% raw and 100% raw. Study Dr. Morse, and his experiences while fruit fasting on only navel oranges for 6 months, and his incessant samadhi experiences. It was EASY for him to jump into samadhi experiences, so much so he claims he had to stop the fast and ground himself with vegetables because his practical existence started to fall by the wayside... Why am I so convinced Dr. Morse's story is true? I've been following Dr. Morse's protocol of fruit fasting, and I cannot believe how much of his information I am confirming via sheer direct experience: the detoxification process and its symptoms, astringent properties of fruits in the body, elimination of diseases, what the "flu" and "cold" actually is, emotional purging, heightened intuition, synchronistic events, increased sensitivity to both resourceful and un-resourceful emotions, and deep spiritual growth. This did NOT happen on SAD, paleo, bullet-proof, etc. I am convinced, that health is a SIGNIFICANT factor in realizing enlightenment or developing spiritually. It's not the only, but if you ignore it, you will not realize it. As I said before, the Buddha had to come to terms with this fact. Of course you'll have a few flukes or outliers who realize the truth eating sub-optimally. I thought I was relatively healthy as a 22 year old not eating any processed foods or grains with a dominance of steamed vegetables and grass-fed meat for a few years. I was dead wrong. I cannot tell you how much I'm detoxing: expelling mucus from my body in stools, acids through the skin, etc. And I'm only 22... I cannot imagine how much damage a 30, 40, 50+ year old human being has accrued, even if they consider themselves very "health-conscious." 99.9999% of humanity is making a grave mistake... Wonder why 99.9999% of humanity isn't enlightened? I emphasized EASY above because I am convinced enlightenment is the logical progression of having an optimal foundation. Anyway, I'll leave this here. It explains all. I know the truth of the knowledge I've stumbled across:

@oysterman I wouldn't eat soy. Here's why (excerpt from Dr. Morse's The Detox Miracle Sourcebook):

@Edvard I wouldn't. Peanuts are known to be some of the most toxic legumes for the nervous system... They're in practically every candy, processed, and junk food for a reason... And beans... Here's an excerpt from Dr. Morse's The Detox Miracle Sourcebook:
