135mg/dL AFTER eating is NORMAL for a HEALTHY person. It highly depends when you take the measurement though. It should come back to normal (thats below 100) in approx. 2-3 hours. Real diabetics have blood glucose levels of ≥126 (≥7,0 mmol/L) in fasting blood samples and sometimes over 200-300mg/dL even hours after eating a normal meal. HbA1c is by far the best way to determine your blood sugar metabolism because it will tell you the glycaemic impact over a long period of time. If your HbA1c is normal, you are fine. It should be in the low-normal range for opitmal health. A diagnosed diabetic should go both paths if necessary. Some patients can reverse their diabetes with diet & exercise, other cases are more complex. The perfect diabetes diet is a huge field of science on its own, highly individual and a good dietician can really work miracles there. In general: Eat real food (no processed junk, no added sugars, low sat. fat), not too much, mostly plants (Veg>fruit) If necessary, you can start a patient on metformin - which is a great, great, great drug (except you are one of to unlucky ones who gets a very rare side effect). Continuous glucose monitors are great, especially with younger patients who have the technical know-how. Its usually more common in patients with Diabetes Type 1 because they need to dose their insulin and its just really convenient.

Thats my read on the first hand data including papers that are in preprint right now. Might turn out to be imprecise, but its the best guess I can come up with after analyzing what we do know. I would advice most people to get the booster anyway since risk/reward is propably benificial for the vaxxed. Boosters in healthy children are nonsensical. If you have any kind of comorbidity and/or >30 years of age: Take the booster!

As usual, a lot of nonsense information here.... I cant remove the decision process, but I can give you some real data: 1) If you are young, healthy and already got 2 doses - then the booster will almost certainly not further decrease your chance of dying from Covid19. 2) Even if you get the booster, your infectivity will be almost back to normal in roughly 3 months. 3) However, the vaccine seems to be (despite what all the sheeps who are biased as hell say) really safe! 4) There might be hidden benefits to vaccination - some data suggests lower rates of long covid etc. 5) Omicron seems to be 90% less likely to infect the lungs than Delta (which decreases severe disease propability by a LOT!) 6) Despite that, most of the patients in the ICU (80-90% in my country) are unvaccinated! 7) Fewer restrictions (whichis a plus)! Make of it what you want - this is the data we know right now

I would argue that the typical underachiever suffers from the same issues - it just acts out in a different way. Also, its pretty stupid to generalize a specific psychological dynamic over a rough descriptor like "overachievers". Over the last decade, I have got to know a lot of individuals who "made it" - some of them are incredibly happy, others are miserable. The obvious answer is yes but irrelevant due to oversimplification. I strongly disagree with the stage yellow aspect of School of life. Its not at all an integral point of view in most of their videos.

@Yali My friend, judging from all the stuff you posted here and messages you sent me, I can sense a deep interest in the topic of food contamination. This is an incredibly important issue and as you have already noticed, there is work to do and teachings to share. So how about this: Lets stop arguing about this topic altogether and you aim to go deep into the nature of these questions. It will take you months to read the relevant literature and it will not be easy, but at the end of the day - you will know exactly what its really about. Hell, there is even a business/coaching possibility at the end of this, so maybe thats something you should really look into. Discussing highly complex topics and telling people to "prove you wrong" will do nothing. Absolutely nothing. Its ego bullshit, nothing more. Also, citing one statistic from one source is also not very scientific. Its a good find, but I can tell you from my knowledge that there is more to this than you think. Cherrypicking and lack of complexity is always a red flag when it comes to reality. Maybe even Leo can learn from you, but at the moment you are doing everyone a disfavor with the way you present.

Rovelli is a genius when it comes to his physics. When it comes to idealism or the hard problem of conciousness, he obviously missed the mark by a lot. So far, the only conclusion I can come up with is that he either doesnt understand idealism or didnt contemplate it at all. The arguments he comes up with are just inconsistent with what this ontology implies. Even more shocking was his discussion about the hard problem of conciousness ....which was absurd in my opinion. His ideas have nothing to do with the core of this issue, namely explaining qualia. Kastrup must have shaken his head in disbelieve...

Here is another stage yellow reading list you might enjoy: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/62742912-daniel-schmachtenberger?shelf=read

Look, we dont really know anything if you take "arbitrary" as your standard. The risk of smoking, eating shitty food all the time or being stressed out of your mind is entirely arbitrary on an invidual level. I cant tell how one of these risk factors will eventually affect your life in particular, but I can do an approximation that will lead to a certain propability. You are talking in absolutes when realtiy if full of relativities, Yes, Leo is of course wrong when he says that any amount of heavy metal will lead to net-negative consequences. Its also wrong to say "salmon is poison". Salmon is not one thing and there are immense differences in that subgroup. Simpleton thinking is happening here on both sides, and neither is willing to give a finger.

First, lets define what me mean by "safe". As Paracelsus said 500 yers ago, "dosis sola facit venenum - only the dose makes the poison", its a matter of fact that there are certain dosages where ANY available substance in this universe would cause harm to metabolically active organisms. Conversely, this is also true for the other side of the spectrum. If I would inhale one atom of mercury every day (usual air contamination excluded) and for the rest of my life, chances are high that this wouldnt do anything bad at all. The body is a complex system, which means that even paradoxic patterns will emerge in the long run. There is a decent amount of evidence that certain kinds of well known "poisons", if chronically ingested at a low enoguh dose, activiate the so called "sirtuin gene sequences", which are casually linked to longevity and survival benefits. Now, these data points should be interpreted with caution because "longevity" is not the only proxy you want to look at. It could well be that this benefit will come at the cost of other important outcomes like neurological health or general wellbeing. There is almost an infinite amount of cofactors that you need to look which is dumb because there are other methods out there that will do the same without the dubious substance. So lets sum it up and dicuss why there is and isn't a healthy level of contamination: - In principle, there is a neutral amount of any available substance that wouldnt cause negative consequences in the long run - The amount differs from person to person and from substance to substance due to genotypic differences in complex systems - There is no way to find out where your subjective margin lies - Official regulatory limits are of practical nature. If we would say that no contamination is allowed, 99% of our products would disappear over night - Its highly likely that regulatory limits grossly underestimate/undervalue the potential dangers of all kinds of contamination - Studying the effects on a collective is prone to a huge amount of bias - Therefore, the real life, practical, smart way of looking at it is: There is no safe level of contamination. I hope this clarifies the issue

When my hair started falling out couple of years ago I panicked and researched every avilable hair loss product, including saw palmetto. Back then, I couldnt find a lot of decent data, but the mechanism of action (5-alpha-reductase inhibition through fatty acids/sterols) made sense, so I tried it for 12 months. In my case it didnt do anything, even at very high doses (up to 1g daily). The more decent trials showed about 1/2 the effect size of finasteride while only affecting the crown area and not the front. (where I was thinning at) The reasons why I hesitate recommending SP: 1) As you know, there is a huge issue with different kind of contaminations in supplements. The supplements you get on the internet are usually not very well tested and the propabiltiy of chronically poisoning yourself is pretty high. Maybe there is a good brand out there that does all the necessary tests (like neurohacker does with its nootropic stacks), but I dont know one personally! 2) You are artificially lowering your DHT levels - that thats not a good thing for your health in general should be pretty clear. I recommend Finasteride as the last resort and with an even lower dose as recommended (0.2-0.75g). 3) I am a big fan of Minoxodil + Microneedling + Keto-shampoo since you dont act systemically. Personally, I got great, great results with this kind of combo and I never had any side effects. If you can prevent system-therapy with similar results than this is always the preferable treamtment option.

There is not one legitimate reason that says you cant be an enlightened millionaire throwing 1$ bills at the local strip club, while ordering your 6th beer ,indulding in fast food, patiently waiting for the UFC fight to begin because you bet half your net-worth on a fighter just for fun. If you think otherwise, you didnt get the joke yet. Your ideas about spirituality are rooted in conditioning. Your assumptions are rooted in ignorance. Your ignorance is rooted in ego.

The vast majority of hair loss cases in young men is due to androgenic male pattern baldness. Its a genetic thing that makes your hair follicles susceptible to the hormone DHT (Dihydrotestosterone), permanently shrinking and finally destroying the hair root in the process. DHT is a more potent form of testosterone, plays a part in many bodily systems from libido to psychoneurology/immune function and is formed from testosterone trough an enzyme called 5α-Reductase. There are 3 well known products that can help you fight/delay the hair loss. 1. Minoxidil (Rogaine (C) - twice every day, applied locally at the affected area) + (Microneedling (1,5mm) for better results) 2. Ketoconazole-shampoo (2 times a week) 3. 5α-Reductase-inhibitors (Finasteride) - which is pretty extreme since you basically interfere with hormon-synthesis There are more out there products like topical anti-androgens or local dutasteride but I am not convinced by the effect or safety. 95% of hair loss in young men is caused by genetic predisposition- the rest could be due to stress, lack of micro-nutrients (B-vitamins, trace minerals..), thyroid-issues, infectious-diseases, side effects from drugs.....

BNT162b2 = Pfizer vaccine mRNA-1273 = Moderna vaccine New study out regarding myocarditis/pericarditis - seems like the worst you can do is getting a Pfizer followed by a Moderna (777 cases out of a million doses). Best thing you can do is double Pfizer or Moderna followed by Pfizer. Might help someone to make an informed decision.

First of all, I am sorry that you have to go trough all this. An adverse event caused by any medical intervention just sucks, especially if the direct benefit of such internvetion is propably miniscule in young patients. You have to realize that you are an outlier in this case, since close to 100% of vacc-recipients do not encounter any long term side effects after getting the jab. How would I know? Well, I have personally vaccinated myriads of patients in the last year, none of which reported any crazy adverse events besides the usual stuff (pain, fever, headaches..). The hospital I work at is also one of the main centres who work with long covid/vaccine-injury patients. We just dont see our clinic getting overrun by vaccinated zombies. The only unit that struggles is our critical care unit because of the 90% unvaccinated patients that rely on intensive medical procedures to survive. This goes hand in hand with the available data and is consistent with the anecdotal evidence of first line heatlh workers around the globe. Every medical intervention is at its core a risk/benefit calculation. Any intervention that is enforced on a global level will reveal even the slightest signal. So far, we have adminstered more than 8 billion doses of the vaccine - so any side effect that can happen will happen. Neither Leo, nor your body or your favorite vaccination-conspiracy can tell how you are gointo react to it beforehand. Its basically Schrödingers-vaccination where the subject survives 99,999% of the time. The same goes for the covid-19 disease. You could be a healthy, 20 year old with zero medical conditions and the virus could still fuck up your lungs irreversibly. Its rare, but it happens and I have seen it happening. I have witnessed a healthy 29 year old dying from Covid - unvaccinated. See, there is no certainty in anything - especially when it comes to complex and chaotic systems. Our minds of course, try to to cling onto every piece of illusory certainty there is - and thats where all the anti-vaxx nonsense comes in. All we have is propability and the informed decisions we could base on that proxy. Myocarditis/Pericarditis is a well known side effect of the mRNA-Vaccines and depending on what statistic you look like, its incidence is about 1 in 10.000-20.000 (with Moderna). Pfizer comes with a significantly lower chance of developing such events. The reason behind that is propably the lower dose of actual mRNA in the drug. Each shot of Pfizer contains 30 micrograms of mRNA, while each one of Moderna contains 100. Moderna comes with a slightly better outcome regarding hospitalization and death. I would not recommend any person below the age of 30 to get the Moderna shot. The risk/reward equation is tilted into the wrong direction in my opinion. If you are below 30, have comorbidities or risk factors and the Moderna shot is the only one available - take it. Otherwise, everyone between 15 & 30 should get Pfizer and thats propably better than not getting it at all. Everyone above 30 should get any shot available + boosters, regardless of comorbidities or risk factors. I do not necessarily recommend the vaccination below the age of 15. There is a new preprint regarding Covid-risk in children, which is pretty clear on that issue IMO: 38669115 (medrxiv.org) Its not true that Sweden banned mRNA-Vaccines in general, they stopped vaccinating the young (<30) with Moderna and thats a completely rational decision (as mentioned above). Pfizer (which is a mRNA vacc. as well) is still the go-to option for everyone. As you can see, there are systems in place that look at global events regarding vaccination and their adverse effects. We saw the smoking pistol in the vector-based agents (Astrazeneca, J&J..) with the thrombogenic effects and we did see it again with in Moderna. Suppressing such data on a worldwide scale is impossible. Regarding your pericarditis: Most cases will heal out without any lasting damage to your heart. I dont know your specific condition but you should definitely talk to a local cardiologist about that. I cant raelly help you with the prognosis because I would need to take a look at your test-results. Is there scar tissue in the pericard? Is there a reduced ventricular output etc. There are alternative methods of dealing with this issue but I would wait and trust your local healthcare provider for now. Thats the only rational thing you can do at the moment. As I mentioned, most cases go back to normal, it just takes time. Any premature alternative treatment over the internet is highly amoral and could make matters worse. PS: The Pfizer vaccine seems to come with a high tolerability, even in elite athletes. 2 days ago, The Lancet published a decent paper about this issue: Tolerability and impact of SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in elite athletes - The Lancet Respiratory Medicine

Around a year ago, I came across this youtube channel called "434". Its about this guy who claims that under the influence of psychodelic substances, he is able to get in contact with certain "hyperspace, elf-like entities" and ask them questions about reality. I have no doubt that this guy actually experiences the stuff he mentions, since those encounters with machine like elf entities during psychodelic journeys are super common to begin with (Terrence Mckenna, Joe Rogan..). Its really fun to get through his videos because they contain some important spiritual truths and can be super motivating. I will share my most favorite episodes here, but I would encourage you to watch for yourself!

A bit of an unusual choice for treating an UTI, but a legit one. Did they test for the specific pathogen? (like neisseria gonorrhoeae?) Cranberry juice does up & downregulate some of the so called CYP-Enzymes, but its propably not the cause of the reaction. This is highly likely a plain and simple side effect and the easiest way to deal with it is to change the agent. Side effects can occur dose dependent, thats why there wasnt a problem with the 5ml. As I mentioned, AB's are not necessary in every UTI case - talk to your doctor about this. Depends entirely on the specific antibiotic and is not true in general. Penicillin should be taken before food for example.

First of all, what kind of antibiotic is your friend taking? Are there any known allergies? From the symptoms you mentioned, its propably Fosfomycin - headaches/nausea/vomiting are rare, but definitely not unheard of . There is a certain kind of irrational fearmongering that surround antibiotics and this is especially common in the alternative medicine/spiritual space. Most people who actually prescribe these drugs to their patients will tell you their experiences are mostly positive. That said, there is of course an argument to be made about the potential harms that are caused by these drugs (micriobiome etc.). There is also a huge problem with overperscription and doctors (yes, iam looking at you.. surgeons!) who just use the same agent against ANYthing resembling a bacterial infection. Side effects can happen with every drug or supplement on the market. Thats just how it is and thats exactly the reason why every treament regime is a risk/reward calculation at its core. Nothing is without risk. The mechanism of action is usually mostly unknown and highly complex. It could potentially involve all kinds of symstems in your body - from genetic disposition to enzymatic issues to simple allergic reactions and so on. Its important to avoid this kind of medication (this particular agent) in the future. There is no closeminded reason doctors are missing (I mean, there are 1000's of those, but propablynot in this case). How could they know that your friend will react like that? Thats not how it works. Most things in todays medicine are simply known/unknown unknowns and we have to deal with this issue every day. You will always find the occasional snakeoil-salesman or hobby-physician on the internet that wants to convince you otherwise..but I guess thats just how it is. There are alternatives to antibiotics that are kinda valid, but the data is super shaky and usually based on anecdotes or raw mechanisms. So here is the deal: Stop the drug (if it was a 1x treatment with fosfomycin then its over anyway) and contact your doctor. Depending on the circumstances, he will either get your friend another agent-class or the therapy will be stopped altogether. Some UTI's dont actually need AB's to heal out. Tell him/her to drink a lot.

As someone who was a pickup instructor in his ealy 20's I am actually pretty amazed by the quality of your dating advice. There is so much bullshit out there, but this is actually legit. Rare to see someone who actually put in the work,

For food storage, your best bet is to use glass, metal, or ceramic containers. If you do opt for plastic containers, use this rhyme to help you remember which recycling codes are safer and which aren’t: “4, 5, 1, and 2, all the rest are bad for you.” You can find the recycling codes printed on each plastic bottle or on the internet. Now, there is an exclamation mark on safER(!) - future reserach my show that even those are not neutral for you. Its always better to use inert marterials where you can!

You are not detoxing. You are depriving your body of the essential building blocks that keep it in a healthy homeostasis. You currently have 0 protein in your diet. Basically no essential amino acids. A incredible one sided nutritional profile. The thing you see on your tongue is a result of oralpharyngeal dysbiosis. Its not the drugs, pharmaceuticals or your family history - its simply the effect of your current "eating" habits. It might disappear because the body is incredibly adaptive, but you are not "healing" in any way or form.

The birth control pill is a well known risk factor for alopecia in women. There are 2 ways to respond to this issue: a) Get off the pill b) Try a lower dose or different kind of agent In most cases this completely reverses the issue. I am sure you are aware of the potential risks that come with the pill, e.g thromboses and psychological swings. The absolute risk of suffering from one of these side effects is still very, very low - but there are other effective methods to contracept. Here is a comparison of the methods and their absolute contraceptive strength. If the pill wasnt the cause of the hair loss, we need to look for further abnormalities. Previous posters mentioned stress & thyroid-issues. Stress is a big one, thyroid issues could also play into it (both hypo & hyperthyroidism). In my clinical experience, hair loss in thyroid patients is usually pretty rare though. Anyway, getting your thyroid hormones checked from time to time is a smart move anyway, so definitely do that (TSH, t3 & t4). You dont need to do any lab testing for the stress (cortisol has a very low predictive value in that case) if there is a clear case for it in your girlfreinds life. Nutritional definicies are also very important in hair loss - in this case especially B-Vitamins and basically all the trace minerals. Try supplementing for at least 3 months and notice any improvements. Super rare causes are adrenogenital Syndrome , androgen -producing tumors or other drugs with androgenic effects. Iam 99% sure its the pill in her case. Take care

I take topical Minoxidil, oral Finasteride (0.2g daily) and Ketoconazole shampoo twice a week against hair loss. Its a really stupid idea because Finasteride is one hell of a drug, but I just dont want to worry about my hair falling out. I have more important things to do I take couple of supplements to counter the potential side effects.

I am currently on 3 products to fight my genetic hair loss....and its been one of the best decisions I have made in my life.

100% clogged up arteries are almost always caused by a luminal thrombus or a sudden plaque hemorrhage imposed on an atherosclerotic plaque with or without concomitant vasospasm. That means, with 46 years old - he propably has severe arteriosclerotic plaque formations in his heart/brain and everywhere else in his body. Thats what a shitty lifestyle can bring to you!
