  1. Possibly you can make porn that is at the same time a teaching tool for all aspects of sex merged with some kind of self-development philosophy?
  2. It doesn't work this way in practice, each case is different the individual is everything and your going to end up with major mistakes using generalized statistics. The data must break down each individual case to develop the correct strategy for diagnosis. How can the data not focus on the most vital components needed to differentiate the individuals? Lets forget statins as they appear to be regarded as the holly grain. The approach of using these generalizations to hedge your bets leads to giving people medication they don't need that worsen there situation. In the other thread Leo made it clear T3 and T4 does not work for him he said because its a systemic issue, but that testimony isn't really taken seriously. When the average person takes medication that don't help them they are far to unconscious to accurately asses that and never get off of it. Random testimony: My aunt at her second pregnancy testes low and was put on thyroid replacement. After that she developed intense panic attacks and her mental health diminished over time. She kept getting retested and they kept increase the dosage to keep her in range. Her life was absolutely destroyed by this approach. A very similar situation happened to me and when I explained to the doctor that I was 100% sure the thyroid hormone was causing my panic attacks as I'm highly stable person that have never had a panic attack before in my life. They told me i was crazy, pointed to there diploma hanging on the wall, explained how ranges work and literally yelled me out of there office fully offended that I challenged them, This happened twice in person and is happening again on this forum. I got off the medication, the daily seizers reduced every day over a period of 2 weeks until it completely stopped and I went normal. I got retested many times and my thyroid hormone is perfectly fine. I only experience seizers during the period I was taking it, so i know it was the medication, i also experienced a many bodily changes and health problems because of this event that cant be reversed. So then why was I initially put on thyroid hormone? Because 1 time I got tested and it was low so they put me on it following there guidelines. This kind of thing is happing at scale and why there is a over prescription epidemic. I told my aunt that her thyroid medication was causing the panic attacks and she of course said "I trust in doctors". The other day at 60 my father who gets tests every 2 weeks for years tested low once in 45 years, they of course instantly put him on replacement hormone.
  3. I didnt want to derail that other topic. Last night I had a thought about this and wanted the practitioners on the forum perspective on it. If we generalize like this "statins have the ability to reduce the risk of major cardiovascular events up to 10% in primary prevention and 5% in secondary prevention over 5 years" For the 80%-90% of people where statins lowered cholesterol but the patients still suffered an event, how do we know statins didnt make the situation worse for them? What if its a bell curve where some patients who have the correct genetics benefit from statins up to 20% of the population while 60% it did not benefit them and 20% it made there situation worse? But studies focus on risk reduction so it will show a 20% reduction in cardiovascular events but ignore or not track the patients whos situation got worse, its a blind spot? Are there any studies that do the reverse and check risk increase by removing the patients that benefited from it? Also if the issue is systemic and cholesterol is not the issue, why are we focusing on reducing cholesterol? About half of all patients who have cardiovascular events have normal to low cholesterol.
  4. I dont disagree. Im pointing to other parts of the picture. Nothing about what i said is advocation for alternative treatments. The average person only realizes chemo comes with major long term complications after they survive the treatment. That does not mean they shouldn't do chemo, what I'm saying is surviving cancer is not a fairy tail.
  5. How is a general statement like this useful at the individual level? For some people at the individual level statins did not reduce there risk and could of exasperated the problem by increasing stress hormone. Where is the data on this?
  6. Yes but out of the 79% of people who did not benefit from statins, what did statins do to there bodies and what percentage of them statins made there situation worse? What percentage of people in does studies did statins have no benefit and gave them debilitating symptoms, is it around 21%? There is a bell curve and we are only looking at risk reduction, meaning we only look at the one part of it. How do we know for 21% of people statins changed there hormones that then changed there eating habits or exercise habits causing a multifactorial change in there life style. Why did some people benefit and not others? Did statins cause behaviour changes for some people that then reduced there risk? If we give someone caffeine and nicotine supplement what is the risk reduction? There are endless experiments we cant conduct because its not ethical enough to conduct them because participants will need to die from ineffective treatments.
  7. When a doctor destroys your life you'll stop putting authority figures on a pedestal. Also Chemo ages every cell in the body. His life specifically brain function will never be the same and the result of the DNA damage will slowly show up in the next 10 years.
  8. @Michael569 Great talk, I love these guys. Im not getting one part, he goes in great length to explain how ApoB is a better risk assessment and has a very detailed explanation of how it all works, they seem to have good case to transition and advance the industry to move in this direction. Then at 1:08:52 they discuss people with normal to low risk assessment for ApoB but still contract Atherosclerosis young and have events young, he then say "I don't know, this is where research needs to be done". That would then mean his model of how and why Atherosclerosis happens within the human body is incomplete. Something is causing the ApoB protein to bind to the artery walls for some people and not others. That is what needs to be figured out, there is no model to be made with out this piece of the puzzle. The discussion about the guidelines was fantastic. The only criticism I have is they are 100% focused on data, studies, scientific evidence that represents the tip of the iceberg of known information on these topics. As far as I'm concerned no real effort was put into any of this yet, minimal innovation, the financial incentive is not aligned with health yet and until that happens there will be no real advancements in knowledge or technology. Its the stone age of health care. The tools they have to work with is abysmal and they lack the imagination to see how behind there tools are and the industry is. Create a machine that can see everything in the blood and display it in an app, on the app select the things you want to filter out and hte machine will filter out only does compounds. The application for this would be a endless, completely revolutionize health. Instead we have a archaic dialysis machine. INOVATE, DO SOMETHING! We need better tools. There is a multi billion dollar untapped consumer health care boom around the corner. Where is the innovation and creative thinking? There spending all there intelligence micro progressing a sub field of a sub field and then publish a research paper on it. Instead of focusing on the 10x to 100x improvements we could be making in this domain. The ball cant start rolling yet because the people attracted to health care careers are ISTJ and ESTPs and they love there comfort zone. Once the health care technology boom really starts to take off vai the incentive of consumer products more intuitive types will move into the domain rapidly progressing things.
  9. In that situation agree with her.
  10. @RebornConsciousness ?So good
  11. On this topic is it possible that the reason chemotherapy works is because its a very effective way to get people to stop eating and fast? There so sick they don't eat and so kills cancer and the patients that eat normally don't show any improvement?
  12. @RebornConsciousness He even waved for the camera, these insects have quantum entangled minds, incredible
  13. Ive never seen that, id love to see that
  14. That may be true, I think part of it is public confidence has been destroyed over the years with cereal companies marketing sugar as a healthy breakfast and the entire united state food pyramid scandal.
  15. Do you have trauma, resentment or where hurt in a past relationships with a girl you fell in love with and now you don't want to get hurt again?
  16. @Princess Arabia Ops haha, sorry about that, yes I quoted by mistake. To quote a section highlight the part you want and click the "quote" button that pops up.
  17. @thenondualtankie Its more about waking people up on the forum who are not exercising and refuse to.
  18. Most people don't have the time to do this and have no idea what overall direction the majority of evidence points to or the quality of that evidence. They also have no idea who knows this, cant trust professions and need to come to there own conclusions or else have there life destroyed by putting there health in the hands of the wrong person.
  19. @Thought Art Is it possible for the government to put laws into place that would of protected you from making the decisions you made?
  20. One interpretation is that heaven/hell are metaphor for your state of mind. You can view the present moment as hellish or heavenly, its a matter of perspective.
  21. @Kalki Avatar Have you tried dating women over 30 and who spent time doing self-development work?
  22. Im sorry to hear that, do you think there was a way that could of prevented this situation?
