Classic struggle of higher self vs lower self. Your lower self is an energy efficient lazy monkey who wants nothing but comfort, pleasure, entertainment, food, sex... The purpose is survival and minimal energy expenditure. You can also think of it as your primal self, your reptilian brain . Your inner chimp, your small / contracted self, etc. Your higher self is your aspirations, ideals, your vision, your goals , the impact you desire to have... It's more related with willpower and the prefrontal cortex. This is not your default mode of operating. It takes consistent conscious effort. If we look at it from this perspective, selves are part of yourself, and if you want to ease that inner dispute you must learn how both work and how to nurture them. Imagine your lower self is an elephant and your higher self is the rider. If the rider wants the elephant to listen to him, he must train him and take care of him. The whip will only help that much,and if the elephant is not honored and his needs are not met you can be sure that he will not be listening. The man being 100 times smaller must outsmart the potent beast. That's just one example. That being said, maybe you are going in the wrong direction and your procrastination is telling you that, but you don't listen and try to push through, failing every time and therefore the cycle continues. Understand your values, strengths and what you find meaningful and then structure your life around it. Then, after you've successfully build habits over time and reprogrammed your subconscious mind, your actions will be more effortless, life will be more enjoyable, but still you will have to care for your inner chimp daily. PD : You relying on guilt to take action also perpetrates this yo-yo effect. Once the guilt is gone, you stop. Learn about how emotions work and build a work ethic over time.

Woah i just got it!!. Just sew in your P hole and make alternative pipes for urinating and money shot away from the crotch area!! Minimal STD rate and no pregnancy. #bioengineering #visionary How did God not thing about this design???

Can you explain more thoroughly? are you talking about your personality, or confidence / self worth? This probably should be in the personal development section.

I was feeling very " burned out " for the last two weeks. I hadn't consistently used supplements for months. The moment I took vitamin C three days ago it was like a cloud had lifted from me. I definately needed that and I felt first hand the effect of it. I'm convinced. Im using cheap powdered vitamin C ( ascorbic acid ) for now and I really feel it work, not like other stuff I've tried before. 500g is like 15€ which is pretty much free compraed with buying it in pills. ( ill " upgrate " to sodium ascorbate powder soon ) I'm concerned because the interior of the bag seems to be aluminium, just like tetrabricks are, and it may be reacting with the acidic powder......... maybe a plastic container is the lesser evil? It probably is. I can also buy 500G of pure magnesium bisglycinate powder for 45€ which is like 7-8 times cheaper than buying pills, 240 100mg magnesium pills = 35€. I'm considering purchasing a capsule machine to DIY some supplements. Or just use the powders. Putting it into capsules adds a significant cost as well, but for the sake of convencience and precision ( for chelation rounds ) it may be necessary) Currently doing a few days of building up CORE 4 supplements as my re-stock arrives. Spent another 100€ on them but mental clarity and vigorousness are among my top 5 values so I dont mind that much putting money into it. I'll do more chelation soon. My chelators expire this month but aparently I can use them till march because they've been stored properly. My intuition is telling me it's a stupid move though. I may reconsider.

Holy Sh*t. Ofc Nicola Tesla was a Freak of Nature! Check this out : The Electrical Experimenter 1919 , page 66 on the PDF or 744 in the magazine( the source) is open to public. [...] Then I instinctively commenced to make excursions beyond the limits of the small world of which I had knowledge, and i saw new scenes. These were at first very blurred and indistinct, and would flit away when I tried to concentrate my attention upon them, but by and by succeeded in fixing them; they gained in strength and distinctness and finally assumed the concreteness of real things. I soon discovered that my best comfort was attained if I simply went on in my vision farther and farther, getting new impressions all the time, and so I began to travel -of course, in my mind. Every night (and sometimes during the day), when alone, I would start on my journeys see new places, cities and countries live there, meet people and make friendships and acquaintances and, however unbelievable, it is a fact that they were just as dear to me as those in actual life and not a bit less intense in their manifestations. This I did constantly until I was about seventeen when my thoughts turned seriously to invention. Then I observed to my delight that I could visualize with the greatest facility. I needed no models, drawings or experiments. I could picture them all as real in my mind. Thus I have been led unconsciously to evolve what I consider a new method of materializing inventive concepts and ideas, which is radically opposite to the purely experimental and is in my opinion ever so much more expeditious and efficient. The moment one constructs a device to carry into practise a crude idea he finds himself unavoidably engrost with the details and defects of the apparatus. As he goes on improving and reconstructing, his force of concentration diminishes and he loses sight of the great underlying principle. Results may be obtained but always at the sacrifice of quality. My method is different. I do not rush into actual work. When I get an idea I start at once building it up in my imagination. I change the construction, make improvements and operate the device in my mind. It is absolutely immaterial to me whether I run my turbine in thought or test it in my shop. I even note if it is out of balance. There is no difference whatever, the results are the same. In this way I am able to rapidly develop and perfect a conception without touching anything. When I have gone so far as to embody in the invention every possible improvement I can think of and see no fault anywhere, I put into concrete form this final product of my brain. Invariably my device works as I conceived that it should, and the experiment comes out exactly as I planned it. In twenty years there has not been a single exception. Why should it be otherwise? Engineering, electrical and mechanical, is positive in results. There is scarcely a subject that cannot be mathematically treated and the effects calculated or the results determined beforehand from the available theoretical and practical data. The carrying out into practise of a crude idea as is being generally done is, I hold. nothing but a waste of energy, money and time. Lets find more juicy stuff on him ? Other brilliant minds are welcome as well.

Quick recap for any lurkers. Yes, you right there, i smell you through the screen ? The context of this post is OP shares results of unprovoked heavy metal urine test, mentions life long concentration problems and asks if chelation is worth it. What I said is that doing an uprovoked urine gives little and inaccurate information. It must be contrasted with a provoked urine test if you want actual numbers. And repeating this process over time is what shows you more accurate data. Yes, If you want numbers it's costly. That being said, I only (barely ) did a hair test, for different reasons. I won't do urine tests as they are not in my budget and I dont care about the numbers, only about how clear my mind is and how energetic I feel, and that's real time feedback. Yes, ACC group is group think and people challenging the status quo are banned. That is partly because strict posting guidelines must be followed as as only two dozen mods moderate over a group of 80k people. It stops clueless people from hurting themselves and sharing potentially harmful info. It is not the place to innovate and shake the boat. It's a place for helpless newbies or intermediate people. Therefore paradigm lock is assured. You can poke holes in any scientific model and I encourage you to do if you have the requiered intellect, but in the context of this post, it's the best resource. The process outlined is begginer friendly, there is a place for feedback from " knowledgable " people and enough info for you to chelate as safely as possible TODAY. 90% of your question are easily anwsered there. I also shared Leo's video for contrast. Yes, chelation is not the cure for everything. There are dozens if not hundreds of different factors that could be contributing to your illbeing. Obviously go for the low hanging solutions first. So is chelation worth it? It depends on how serious you are on doing accurate personal science and finding possible solutions for your chronic fatigue and brainfog. You will most likely never know the exact reasons and you must work with the best you've got. It depends on how much you value potentially improving your mental clarity and becoming more vigorous. Put a price on it. 150€ a month for a few years. Is that how much you value it? Would you pay 3000€ for a more clear mind? How much would you actually pay ? How much time spent is too much for the cause? Only you can decide. PD: take responsibility and double chek any info for yourself.

if thats true then you should be eager to give chelation a real test instead of brushing it off and blaming it on genetics. But i'm not here to convince you. Concentration problems and emotional instability are very often linked to heavy metal toxicity. Also mothers can transfer heavy metals to children, the most vulnerable stage of development. If you don't think heavy metal toxicity is your problem, then why did you do this test? No offense, but that's half-assing. An unprovoked test won't reveal toxicity, as discussed before. The other lowest hanging fruit would be taking a hair sample and sending it to a lab for analysis. Everything you need is found here https://www.facebook.com/groups/acfanatics/ What you also could do is a chelation trial. You do one round of DMSA and any reaction, positive or negative, is sign of toxicity.

Does anyone here have any experience with making their own supplements? Specifically with a gadget like this : I mean if I buy Sodium Ascorbate powder or Magnesium Bisglycinate and just measure and put it in the capsules, I'd save around 15x, minus the initiall 20€ of the machine and the empty capsules. Aparently you can also do it to reduce the cost of DMSA and ALA, but I wouldn't take that risk. Yes it's less convenient, but I feel that over time you will become more efficient and it will be very worth it. Thoughts?

This is a good idea. Leo said he does have a second PC with this forum blocked so that he can work on his book without having to resist temptations So this would be the equivalent.

Looks promising. Cant wait for a deepfake AI VR version of this.

@UnbornTao I mean I imagine the kettle can leach aluminum into your water, and even worse if you boil it ... I'm no scientist but I wouldn't take the risk. I eat canned legumes every other day. If you want the full list of things to consider: Choose organic if your budget allows for it. Ive had both for a decade and im still alive, who knows the real difference. Who knows the quality of the water they are cooked with and kept in. You would be better off rinsing them off with reverse osmosis water. I eat them with the liquid and im alive for now idk what the compound consequences may be. Even the label advises to rinse them off. Choose as little ingredients as possible. Water, salt and legumes ideally. The most common preservative is EDTA, which is a heavy metal chelator that is advised not to take, but aparently Andy Cutler said that small amounts found in food in this manner are okay. It's used so that they don't turn grey and funky looking on the top. Choose glass jars over tin for obvious reasons, specially if with tomato sauce ( the acidic liquid may react with the can and leach nasty stuff. You may get a pressure cooker and do your own baches higher quality and cheaper, at the cost of convenience. Also you you may have trouble digesting lectins, but that depends on your gut health and maybe genetics. Only you know how they make you feel.

@kamill Watch this. Be very careful. The vocal chords are just 1 to 3 cm long and the chance to seriously injure yourself and need surgery is very real. But mostly because of improper use and unconscious dysfunctional posture habits. Notice how babies can scream all day long and they're absolutely fine. Aparently the capacity to do vocal fry is a clear sign for vocal health. For the future: study Alexander Technique. It's a holistic posture technique that will bring your vocal health and vocal skills to the next level. Much vocal damage occurs because of the Mouthbreather pose. To combat this, keep your sternum tall ,push your chin in with your index finger and then imagine someone pulling you from your crown up with string from the ceiling. Rotate your head forward and up. That's the gist of it. You have 15ish kg of weight balancing up there, you can imagine the ripple effect in terms of tension and posture. Some of the highest quality material for you: Alexander Technique Intro Source : teaching myself vocal skills for the last 2-3 years. I still have much to learn. Cheers! Edit: this herb is known as " Singer's Herb " . I gifted it to my singing teacher when she told me she had chronic faringitis. No clue if it worked though lol i swapped teachers

This should answer everything I like to think the admins are an authority and are trustworthy. If you want to do further research and validate their claims that's on you. Povoked urine test means that you have taken a certain dose of dmsa (calculated with a formula provided in the video) and then send the urine test for an heavy metal analysis, so that you can contrast provoked with unprovoked urine test and see what is being pulled out of your body, which is pretty much the only way to assess toxicity. For example: Unprovoked test = pretty clear Provoked test = toxic Conclusion : chelators manage to pull out toxic heavy metals from your body that otherwise you don't pee out. If you decide to do the provoked test, remember to directly transition into a 3 day dmsa round right after taking the dose . This is confirmed missing information in the video. Mercury, lead, cadmium, arsenic , aluminum and more are heavy metals that are not essential for the human body and don't have any known biological function, besides being toxic and harmful in multiple ways. Chronic fatigue, poor memory and concentration problems among the most commons. Small amounts may not kill you instantly, perhaps they never will, but depending on your genetics they can insidiously diminish the quality of your life. If you wish to potentially lift the life-long concentration problems you've mentioned, it may be worth giving it a real try.

@The0Self i haven't seen you mention adrenal support in any of your post, whats your take on it? Aparently adrenal glands are the organ that is hit by mercury the hardest. Chronic pressence of toxic heavy metals in your body is a burden that can fatigue your adrenals. ACC heavily recommends taking Adrenal Cortex Extract. I was actually skeptical of its effectiveness and i've one half a dozen of rounds with ACE and then one without and I gotta say if I don't take it i feel destroyed for a week. ( a. .k.a adrenal crash) Everyone is different and I haven't seen actual science on it but for me it's essential.

@Jannes Andy Cutler Chelation group, what the admins answered me when i asked about Nickel. Also is this urine test provoked or unprovoked? Know that no ammount of lead, arsenic, cadmium or mercury is safe

aparently you sweat nickel out. Joining a sauna may give you decent benefits

Sounds cool. I cant even hold the image of an orange in my mind for 2 seconds though ?

I found this pretty insightful regarding electical concepts. I value accurate understanding and I feel often that many models and analogies leave me scratching my head.

I may be stoopid. I just drove 40 min with the car air heater on wondering why do I feel lightheaded. You're literally breathing in exhaust fumes. Had you thought of this one? Can i even build in a carbon filter into the heater system? I don't see why not. 25€ should do it. Edit. I'm stoopid again. Puting coal into the engine, what was I thinking? "Activated carbon itself is not flammable, and it does not readily support combustion. However, activated carbon can adsorb flammable gases or liquids, and in some cases, this can create a fire hazard. For example, if activated carbon is used as a filter in a system that handles flammable gases, a leak could result in a build-up of flammable gas in the filter bed, potentially creating an explosion hazard. To mitigate this risk, it's important to follow appropriate safety guidelines and to monitor systems that use activated carbon for flammability hazards." There must be some way. Edit 2 : Pretty insightful
