Not that important, but it is highly preferable to do it as early in the day as possible so you can eventually bring the meditation with you into your daily life and remain mindfully aware and peaceful no matter what appears in this peace.

Coax, nudge, play patiently and skillful with the feeling of well being and love. Once you have it to any degree, follow it. Follow it like a thread to grow it into what you were "born" to make it into.

I see. That's rather unfortunate, but certainly not without recourse, by any means. (^^ referring to cold extremities ^^) Interesting. To me this sounds like excess protein from carnivore is totally sufficient for your optimal supply of glucose, and by extension, T3... due to protein->glucose conversion downstream from the gut. Perhaps by sheer coincidence, it appears to be coaxing-out an ideal homeostatic balance of T3, insulin, and cortisol -- this is definitely the case if you do in fact not suffer from cold extremities while on this diet, as this indicates adrenal sufficiency and minimal (good) (nor)epinephrine/catecholamines. And if high-carb doesn't work for whatever reason (as seems to be your situation), high protein is simply the next best option. Sounds like it's working pretty well! Hope you keep troubleshooting / perhaps do what you can about finding a long-term solution or alteration that can allay the potential associated cholesterol/cardiovascular hazards of carnivore. Completely irrelevant: I'm sure you already know, but with all this excess protein, you will be unable to enter ketosis (unless your protein intake is somehow far less than what I assume). Not that you would ever want to -- just pointing it out, fwiw. Also, I have 2 questions: **What is your reaction to egg whites? (I think I remember you saying whole eggs caused issues). **How many grams of protein would you estimate you consume in a day? In general, the more protein the better (in all sorts of ways), but there are slight diminishing returns at upwards of 100-120g/d, very prominent diminishing returns at 1g / lb bodyweight, and no further benefits (in most cases; when anabolic drugs aren't in the picture) when intake surpasses around 240g/d, at which point undigested protein can theoretically be an issue -- perhaps that is causing your recent stomach pains? Oh, and a nifty little tidbit: if you're ever in that diet-related low-consciousness / "anti-psychedelic" state, a potential short-term solution for that is intranasal insulin. Worked like a charm for me. Aspart is by far the best, but Humulin R actually works too, and it's otc. If you know someone with type 1, they probably have Novolog/aspart.

Leo, how do you think you'd fare adding white rice and/or well-cooked well-salted potatoes to your current carnivore diet? Perhaps that alteration could help to make the diet sustainable? Ensuring a minimum of ~125g carbs per day. Just thinking out loud.

I would imagine carnivore diet not helping this at all, whatsoever. It has other benefits, but cold hands and feet due to thyroid insufficiency will only be exacerbated by daily carb intake dropping below about 125g. A modified carnivore diet with the addition of white rice and/or well-cooked well-salted potatoes may help tremendously with this, though that may defeat the purpose.

@neutralempty lol wonderful

And your long life will be due in part to that.

People just have different perspectives on the issue. For instance, I have a particularly inflammatory view: if you don't train with barbells, you either don't care about your health or are ignorant of its benefits. It's just what seems to be the case, from my particular holistic view. Not everyone will agree with that, and from my perspective, that's just due to ignorance. Vegan can be healthy, vegetarian can be healthy, omnivore can be healthy. There are no hard and fast rules, but if we were to "go there," I would personally, somewhat regrettably, take non-lifters' advice on diet and especially health, with a grain of salt.

Beautifully put.

It's a tough topic to be so vulnerable on because treating it as the truth can appear like you know something that others don't. My intuition tells me it's probably legit -- i.e. that channeling actually did apparently happen and a transcendent social memory complex from Venus really did contact humans and inform them of how the universe works, but I don't know that to be the case. It certainly jives more-or-less perfectly with my most profound psychedelic experiences.

@Eternity Amen

It's not like it's a long-term solution. It's just an intervention. I never needed it, but some might. In the long-term you need greens/vegetables, unless you're so active and muscular that your daily caloric expenditure is such that you can hit all your micronutrient requirements with non-micronutrient-dense foods like white rice; potatoes; steak; maybe some nuts; etc.

The end is the beginning.

I'm assuming you haven't been sticking to daily meditation practice. It can and will lead to states that make crack seem like a sugar high.

It can be less bad; it can be worse. Let's not think in absolutes.

Is rape categorically worse than theft? I tend to think yes. If that's the case, then false accusations of rape are categorically different to false accusations of theft/etc. To falsely accuse someone of rape is to intend to subject that person to the penalty of rape. False accusations of rape are akin to rape, and that's really being generous, as victims may actually get raped in prison, by multiple people at once. Don't pretend to not know why false accusation of rape is a heinous crime.

Lol don't worry -- that's a different ALA. Alpha linolenic acid -- "omega 3." The chelator/intracellular-antioxidant is alpha lipoic acid / thioctic acid.

No, but there's the potential for a "dead-giveaway" moment. If that doesn't happen, it may or may not be a problem -- probably isn't, truth be told. But...if it causes mercury redistribution symptoms so intense, the individual contemplates calling themselves an ambulance? Well, at least they found the problem. In reality it is probably not much of a problem unless they had amalgams in the past. It's just good to know there is in fact a way to get the metal out safely, if one decides that's a route they want to try.

Sexual repression. That just intuitively sounds unwise to everyone. For some reason, in this context, it gets a pass. It shouldn't.

@Michael569 No contradiction. Problem is taking one dose; not a whole 4 days. If you aren’t mercury toxic, it will be an uneventful 4 days. If you are though, good thing you found out what the problem was. How much longer would they have spent wasting their time; thank god they finally found it; etc

Yeah this is absolutely crucial lol

Come on man. Tangential? How about peripheral; unrelated; separate; a-different-axis; parallel; a different area of development; etc...

@integral None of the things you take have anything to do with that. ALA actually causes zinc buildup/toxicity, and yet you take zinc on top of it, because ALA causes even worse copper toxicity, and consuming additional zinc causes copper purging. Consuming additional/excess molybdenum does the same to a lesser degree, but with no downsides, since ALA doesn't cause molybdenum buildup.

Don't think there's anything you can do to deplete molybdenum.

No problem! Judging from your question about the IV, you seem to be very experiment-minded... One thing I never did, but suspected may be of value (though I don't recommend it), is to take ALA + EDTA (and DMSA or DMPS)... Since ALA causes zinc buildup (and very prominent copper buildup) and EDTA causes zinc depletion, they might balance each other out, allowing you to stay on ALA longer -- since the EDTA would hypothetically enable you to dose the 4x/day zinc (to purge copper) higher and for longer before eventually, inevitably, becoming zinc and copper toxic. That's just theoretical though; not sure how many people have tried it, but maybe someone has logged it on onibasu, or maybe reddit. Probably best to just go with the tried and true though. Definitely take the molybdenum though, as it helps with the copper control and has no penalty / risk of buildup. Even 30-50mg zinc and 1-2mg molybdenum split up into 4 divided doses per day will not be enough to prevent copper toxicity indefinitely. Avoid high copper foods such as nuts and probably most legumes. Increasing bile flow can apparently help you excrete copper as well: glycine; taurine; milk thistle; lecithin.
