Oof. Dont you see that your "opinion" is entirely based on crude assumptions? -
The bulletproof diet is definitely not the worst advice you can follow, but I dont know what "perfect" means in that context. The "perfect" diet is highly subjective, of an alternatig qualtiy and doesnt follow any predefined clusters like keto, vegan or carnivore. Its also an ideal. Behind Dave Asprey and his Bulletproof-company stands a huge marketing campaign that focuses on the "biohacker" and self-help commuinity as their competitive niche. They claim to base their product on "scientific evidence" but fail to deliver any substance for some of their ridicolous claims. This does not mean that there is no value in their products or their information - just be careful about taking anything they say face value. Keto diets have been studied a lot in the last few years and the magic disappears if you do them in a controlled setting (who would have thought?). Anyway, if you feel great going full keto then keep on doing it!

Studying flat earth is like studying fantasy. There is no functional model, it makes no predictions, its not compatible with direct experience. You dont want to study donut shape earth, do you? Its a product of the ego mind. But then again, make the experience for yourself. -

Learn simplest geometric principles Makes simplest observations (Ships disappearing bottom first..) Do the simplest experiments Realize flat earthers are full of bs, bias, ego delusion Flat earthers deny ton of direct experience in order to keep their ridicolous world view alive -
Edible oils with high polyunsaturated fatty acid content are susceptible to oxidative deterioration. Oxidation destroys the essential fatty acids (EFA) and may result in the production of toxic compounds and oxidized polymers. Thats propably why it smelled/tasted bad.

"You have a habit of fear mongering" "Keep your opinions to yourself" Ohh the irony

*Digs up a 5 year old thread* "You have a habit of fear mongering" Seriosuly mate, what a bad faith move. @Michael569 is one of the sanest & brightest voices here on this forum.

Its undeniable that there are numerous strong anecdotes about seemingly miraculous cures after switching to a carnivore diet. I will tell you my why- hypothesis in a minute, but lets first settle the science. There is zero percent credible scientific evidence for the carnivore diet to be a healthy or longevity promoting lifestyle in any way or form. On the contrary, mulitple lines of evidence from all over the world show a strong correlation between meat consuption and all-cause mortality. I know the carnivore-bros and "doctors" like Shawnk Baker try to convince the world otherwise, but there is just no substance in their arguments at all. So why the positive reports? My hypothesis is that there is a pandemic of subclinical intolerances/intoxications caused by a cascade of man-made food-matrix variances & unnatural processing influences that are overwhleming the hormetic capacities of the homeodynamic processees at a cellular level. Easier said: Phthalates, volatile organic compounds, microplastics, rubber compounds, heavy metals, food additives, processing byprodcuts like acrylamides... (the list is very long) in your food will make you feel miserable and sick. Now imagine what happens if you suddenly stop eating all that shit from one day to another and start going full carnivore. Meat of course does have its own list of potential contaminants, but especially high quality products usually do score low compared to the garbage most people consume on a daily basis. This will of course free up a big portion of your hormetic capacity which comes with an increased notion of wellbeing while releasing metabolic tension, reversing diabetes and other conditions. Adding to that effect is a property of functional animal proteins which increases mTOR-activity and induces a complex biochemical pathway that eventually leads to "more energy". Sounds good, right? No! See, even though there are undeniably pleasent effects in the short run, a carnivore diet will cause a lot of havoc over time: - Increased lipid-profile, which is the #1 risk foctor for cardiovascular disease - Gut-microbiome disturbances & SIBO - Poor micronutrient status - hormonal imbalances - Increased cancer risks - mTOR activation is causally linked to faster aging .... and so on. The "positive effects" of the carnivore diet are primarily caused by the elimination part. Couple of years ago there was a huge hype around celery-juice. People claimed to heal their metabolic conditions by just drinking this magical juice for weeks. Same logic there. I think there are extreme cases of this like the Peterson family, but most of us stick somewhere in the middle of the bell curve. Appendix: There is this ridicolous argument of the "recommended daily allowance (RDA)", which basically says how much poision is allowed in a certain amount of food. Its true that, as Paracelsus said it 500 years ago, "the dose makes the poison". However, there are several limitations to the RDA-guidelines. Besides relying on bad quality studies in some cases, data is severely limited by: 1) interindividual differences which could cause detremental effects in certain individuals 2) combinatoric effects of multiple toxins 3) underreporting Thanks

Well, it could also be Kuru.

The diagnostic reference levels are calculated averages and not precise limits of normality. Your body is in a dynamic interplay with your environment, each parameter in your blood changes from one minute to another. Also, the methods of measurement & analysis are far from perfect. There is a saying in medicine which goes like:"You are either sick or not screened enough" Said differently, if we would run every diagnostic test imaginable, you would get a "positive" result in some of them, without actually being sick in any way or form. So no, I highly doubt you have a chronic infection - which usually would be reflected in more than your basophiles (which are ALMOST normal to begin with). If you still are uncertain abou it, repeat the test in 6 months.

I dont get it. If there is one person that is known for sharing uncomfortably radical, paradigm-shattering truths with his audience, then it's you Leo. This is not the first time where one of your videos would trigger a strong emotional response from the greater community. I thought this is what your content is all about. -
If everything else is dandy and you dont experience any symptoms at all, this is a normal finding. Slight aberrations from the norm are completely physiological. Forget about it.

Been in contact with him since 2018. Contacted him through facebook. Shared interest in complexity/integral medicine - we talked a couple of times.

Yeah, definitely!

I think thats true to the extent that each and every iconoclast in history had to be somewhat utopian in his views before being able to shape society in any meaningful way. What makes me think that this could come to a happy end is that there is definitely a palpable surge of 2nd tier thinkers in also followers in especially the last 10 years. Its not so much part of the crazy fringe-culture anymore. However, I completely agree that on a large scale there is just too much that works against it. Dont look up just hits too close to home. So does Idiocracy lol. I think Daniel is aware of all this, but its better to put up a good fight than not trying at all.

Exactly. This is what a throughout stage yellow society would look like in its essence.

Well said. I would go even further and say that its "impossible" for most people to get on his level intellectually. He grew up in such unique circumstances - with a genius father who was able to homeschool him in a very unique and effective way, early influences of an integral vedic community, 2nd tier thinkers all around him etc. That said, neither should one be discouraged by this if he is really interested in the intellectual path...

That depends on a lot of other circumstances: - Do you pay for university? How is your financial situation? - How much work do you still need to put into it? Can you half-ass it and start doing what you really like besides it? I personally would propably go for it. Even if its a useless degree, we live in a world where a simple title after your name can open doors for you. Also, 1 year isnt too much of a time investiment for the potential benefit. If you would live in the US, paying 20k for a semester - then this would be a hard no though.

I know Daniel personally, so let me weigh in a bit. Neurohacker is the only supplement company I know who jumps through hoops and hurdles to make sure that their products are not contaminated with any sort of impurity that might effect the agent or the customer in a negative way. That means over the top quality control of their supplement sources, rigorously testing every charge that comes in while tightly observing the manufacturing process. Also, some of the chemical forms used in their supplements are more expensive to produce but come with higher amount of bioavailability. I am not sayint that this ultimately justifies the price, but its deifinitely a point you have to consider.
-
I think you mean 200g? DONT do that - thats way too much. You will overwhelm your digestion through fiber overload and get severe constipation if you are unlucky. Also, flaxseeds contain some amount of cyanide. Just eat normal amounts and you will be fine. Most beneficial effects of Omega3-supplementation will occur at around 1-5g DHA/EPA. There is no way of getting to that amount through flaxseeds. Dont be stupid and buy a supplement.
-
Harmful (and even beneficial) effects of an individual, isolated compound or phytochemical are often quite different than when the same compound is within the complex food matrix. For this reason, huge amount of epidemiological and RCT evidence has not demonstrated any correlation between so called "antinutrients in food" and health hazards. Lets take lectins for example: - Most "danger"-claims stem from absurd mice studies where they feed copious amounts uncooked lentils/beans to those animals and then find various abnormalities like a leaky gut or low micronutrient status. - Cooking degrades most of the lectins in foods - There is not a single high quality trial that showed this result in humans - There is a direct, around the world correlation between longevity and bean/lentils intake - Many of the components like galacto-polysaccharides actually protect your intestinal barrier function There are not many things in nutrition-science that are this well established. So forget that nonsense. Dont believe crazy people like Steven Gundry who want to tell you otherwise.

No, it doesnt imply that at all. In fact it implies the opposite. Through flaxseeds alone, you wont be able to get enough DHA/EPA because the enzymatic conversaion of ALA is limited by a genetic factor that you cant really change. Easier said, your body cant produce enough DHA/EPA out of ALA to gain any noticeable benefit. Doing reserach wont take too much time. In fact, most good brands are well known and widely avaialble. Dont overanalyze that stuff - just dont buy the cheapest stuff you find and read through the customer feedback. Its not like you are going to die if you buy a "bad" supplement or something. Just go on amazon, spend 20 minutes looking for a decent one and you will be fine By the way - I personally eat about 20g flaxseeds (Ground!) a day + 2000mg of DHA/EPA supplement

That's youtube-"doctor" quackery and not to be taken seriously. There is some rough mechanistic data that suggests that some isolated components might influence mineral binding capacity or gut lining integrity, but its completely taken out of the context by those who use it as an argument. In fact, if you leave out the theoretical gobbledygook and just epidemiologically observe people in real life, it paints a pretty clear picture: The more beans, lectins, seeds etc. they eat, the healthier they are and the longer they live. Flaxseeds are incredibly healthy and even have strong antihypertensive properties comparable to common drugs. (1) Flaxseeds contain the (mostly) plant-based omega-3 called alpha-linolenic acid (ALA). The main problem with ALA is that to have the good effects attributed to omega-3s, it must be converted by a limited supply of enzymes into EPA and DHA. As a result, only a small fraction of it has omega-3's effects — 10%–15%, maybe less. The health benefits of fish oil are believed to derive principally from those two omega-3 fats, eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). Now, there are some issues with fish oil as well. Its a highly concetrated product and therefore prone to strong contamination that also varies from source to source. If you want to get the highest quality EPA/DHA product, I would look for a well-tested algae-oil bassed supplement. Very important: - It should fulfill high quality standards/certifications: GMP, ISO 9001, HACCP - The best products are from private algae-cultures - Good manufactures get their oils TOTOX-tested (number used to describe the total oxidative load to which a fat has been exposed) - Some fraudulent products mix their supplements with other oils, so read the ingredients carefully and evaluate the EPA/DHA content If you are by chance from germany/austrias/switzerland, this is a company I highly respect & trust: NatuRise (1) Potent Antihypertensive Action of Dietary Flaxseed in Hypertensive Patients | Hypertension (ahajournals.org)

Yes. You dont need a vaccine for now. If you really WANT to, you can get a booster in 6-9 months. Also, drinking 2 bottles of orange juice is not healthy. Way too much fructose. Eat real oranges or take a Vitamin C supplement if you "want to boost" immunity. Also, if you want to get some release with your sinusitis - get some Ibuprofen (up to 1000mg a day for 3 days) and stop the paracetamol
