I lost my virginity at your age and it wasn't really satisfying (not in a romantic relationship). Sex itself was not really satisfying unless it happened in a relationship for me. I was glad it happened but it didn't turn out to be as special as I initially imagined it to be. When it comes to your thousands of approaches, I can tell you have perseverance. It is a great quality and not to be dismissed! I also tried to use pickup to solve my loneliness and confidence around women but it didn't really bore the fruits I was expecting. I have given up on it for a while now. Maybe there are underlying issues for you too that pickup is not suited for. Self-esteem issues, depression, anxiety etc. As long as you are not comfortable in your skin it is going to be a losing battle. For some pickup helps with this, while for others it is too painful and they just end up running in circles (like I did for 1-1,5 years). In my case I did years of inner work, but the biggest trigger was recently optimizing my vitamin D levels. It kicked away my depression and anxiety by 95%, and now I feel amazing and rather comfortable in my skin. I choose not to seek relationships because the desire is currently not there. The interesting thing is that women appreciate my presence more and more lately. Giving me the looks on the streets or bus, wanting to get close to me in social situations etc. The vibe thing really works, blackpill is a dead end. Maybe you can do something about these underlying issues instead of trying to dismantle a huge wall with nothing, but a screwdriver. Good luck!

Dr. Cicero Coimbra's Presentation to Jen Aliano Grassrootshealth (transcript, pdf - video not found yet) - 2025, March 2nd Publically available PDF containing all the 81 slides displayed at the presentation (Available at the bottom of the VitaminDWiki website linked above - if this direct link seems suspicious) Summarization of the transcript by DeepSeek: The text is a detailed transcript of a discussion with Dr. Coimbra, a neurologist renowned for his use of high-dose vitamin D to treat autoimmune diseases, particularly multiple sclerosis (MS). Here’s a summary of the key points: Dr. Coimbra's Background: Dr. Coimbra graduated in 1979, completed residencies in internal medicine and neurology, and has been practicing since. He developed an interest in vitamin D's role in treating autoimmune diseases after observing its effects on a Parkinson's patient with vitiligo. Vitamin D and Autoimmune Diseases: Dr. Coimbra discovered that high doses of vitamin D (10,000 IU/day) significantly improved autoimmune conditions, especially MS. He references studies showing reduced relapse rates in MS patients with vitamin D supplementation. The Coimbra Protocol: This protocol involves high-dose vitamin D (up to 1,000 IU per kilogram of body weight) tailored to individual patients, monitored through parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels to avoid toxicity. The protocol also includes dietary restrictions (low calcium) and supplements like magnesium and omega-3s. Vitamin D's Role in the Body: Vitamin D is synthesized in the skin via UVB sunlight exposure. Deficiency is common in urban populations due to limited sun exposure and sunscreen use. Vitamin D is crucial for immune function, and low levels are linked to various diseases, including tuberculosis and autoimmune disorders. Immune System and Vitamin D: Vitamin D enhances the immune system by activating immune cells to destroy pathogens like tuberculosis. It also inhibits TH17 cells, which are implicated in autoimmune diseases. Historical Use of Vitamin D: Dr. Coimbra references historical treatments, such as Dr. Rollier's use of sunlight to treat tuberculosis in the early 1900s, highlighting the long-standing recognition of vitamin D's therapeutic potential. Stress and Autoimmune Diseases: Emotional stress is a major trigger for autoimmune diseases. Managing stress is crucial for treatment success, as stress reduces magnesium levels, which are necessary for vitamin D activation. Vitamin D Resistance: Some patients with autoimmune diseases have genetic resistance to vitamin D, requiring higher doses. The Coimbra Protocol adjusts doses based on PTH levels to ensure safety and efficacy. Case Studies: Dr. Coimbra shares success stories of patients with lupus, psoriasis, and MS who experienced significant improvements with high-dose vitamin D therapy. Safety and Toxicity: High-dose vitamin D must be carefully monitored to avoid toxicity, which can occur if calcium levels rise too high. Patients must follow a strict low-calcium diet and stay hydrated. Toxicity is reversible if caught early. Vitamin D in Pregnancy: Adequate vitamin D during pregnancy (7,000 IU/day) reduces the risk of complications like autism, MS, and asthma in offspring. Children born to mothers with sufficient vitamin D levels show better neurodevelopment and higher IQs. COVID-19 and Vitamin D: Dr. Coimbra's patients on high-dose vitamin D either avoided COVID-19 or experienced mild symptoms. He recommends high-dose vitamin D during pandemics. Aluminum and Autism: Dr. Coimbra links the rise in autism to aluminum nanoparticles in vaccines, which can cross the blood-brain barrier and cause inflammation. He uses silica to help remove aluminum from the body in autistic patients. Training and Protocol Adoption: Dr. Coimbra trains other doctors in his protocol at no cost, emphasizing the importance of individualized treatment and monitoring. Global Health Crisis: Dr. Coimbra warns of a global health crisis due to the increasing use of aluminum in vaccines and the rise in autism, depression, and other neurological disorders. He advocates for replacing aluminum with safer adjuvants like calcium phosphate. In summary, Dr. Coimbra's work highlights the critical role of vitamin D in treating autoimmune diseases and the importance of addressing environmental toxins like aluminum in vaccines. His protocol offers a promising, albeit carefully monitored, approach to managing these conditions.

Thank you! Great share and can really relate to your explanation. I did some digging and found some other pieces that sound less like a primordial soup of sounds, but more complex and sophisticated - way ahead of its' time - Tom Dissevelt & Kid Baltan - Song of the Second Moon (1957) - Sounds of Jarre 20 years before Jarre did it. Someone in the comment section there (or some other video) mentioned the Variophone, an electronic musical instrument invented by the Soviets in the late 20s/early 30s (!!!). I was awe-struck when I heard what they were capable of. Generatingchip-like sounds (that would fit 8-bit videogames like NES) decades before actual soundchips were invented. Furthermore it works conceptually similar to a Vinyl (Phonograph record) - A photoelectrinc sensor reading waveforms drawn/etched into celluloid film strips. Furthemore it was one if not the first polyphonic instrument, being able to layer drawn tracks and create complex compositions. Here is an example P.S: How do you actually embed clickable videos into posts?

Thank you, this worked!

I admit I don't really have direct experience on this topic, but I have a question: Isn't the awakening process kind of an upward/downward spiral (depending on how you want to imagine it) swinging between realizing the illusionary nature of reality and then the reality of the illusion? Going back & forth as you go deeper potentially into infinity. Total mindfuckery.

Thank you for pointing that out, those cofactors are important. Not only in reducing risk factors associated with D3 supplementation, but furthermore increasing absorption and utilization by activating D3.

@Leo Gura Thoughtful input, thanks! I've been doing the work for years, but there are always moments where I look at people without much self-awareness just going through the waves of life. Not knowing where they are supposed to go themselves, just enjoying the simple things in life. There is something envious in this blissful ignorance. Some people had the ability to build a solid life from the get go, I guess the urge to developing inwards (not just outwards) isn't as strong with them. While others, including myself, had a rougher beginning - however this rougher beginning itself gravitated me towards self-development, and I don't know how I would be able to live without it. The fruits of this labor are just so tasty!

Oh boy, this thread could go on forever! Currently listening to this - Terry Riley - Persian Surgery Dervishes - Full Album - YouTube Been interested in the origins of electronical music for years, there is something ethereal in these pieces. Stuff including Klaus Schulze, Tangerine Dream, Jean-Michelle Jarre, Popol Vuh, Ash Ra Tempel and the list could go on. The consciousness-expanding psychedelia of those years definitely had a large influence on these artists.

That's what I am afraid of, as well. Cheers for mentioning Solarpunk, though!

Thank you for the detailed report and congratulations. This sounds like something I wish to experience in the future, but not yet. Good luck with the integration!

Looks mean little if your 'game' is shit. Vibe appears to be much more influental, in my experience too. Furthermore I don't think even those with proper game and vibes can just get any girl. Rejections will still be the majority, however you can use those as stepping stones in building state and eventually accomplishing something.

Vitamin D Research Update: PLUS The latest use of the disinformation playbook against vitamin D Dr. Coimbra talks about how he came to develop the Coimbra protocol, treating people with autoimmune disorders (mainly Multiple Sclerosis) with vitamin D3 - controversial in the medical community, understandably so. However the first video goes into detail why RCTs (randomized controlled trials) for D3 are not currently properly designed. Video from 2014, English subtitles available.

Nice clickbait, but it seems to work. I like how he advocates for minimum 10K/day, which I tend to agree with (for most it seems to be enough to sustain a 50+ ng/mL / 125 nmol/mL levels) Regarding inactive D3 present in the blood, I guess that's the only current way to provide an approximate measure of what levels of vitamin D3 can be present in the body. Since that amount is currently not being used. Higher levels usually correlate with higher concentrations (and with benefits), up to a certain point where the returns can be diminishing and point towards toxicity (the threshold of which is complex and multifactorial, but I guess the currently established ratios are downgraded for safety concerns). It's interesting how he is being clear with some things (like the potential of healing MS with high doses of D3 (~20-150K IU/day - Coimbra protocol by Dr. Cicero Coimbra), while being vague with others (D3 shrinking tumors with therapeutic doses - for which there are hints). Whatever therapeutic doses mean, however if I were to guess something like above 20-30K/IU (as in the link before).

I have no diagnosis that it was actually Vitiligo, however do you mean Tinea Versicolor? I'm just reading up about it, and it seems to produce roughly the same symptoms as Vitiligo (with the exception of additional dryness&scaliness and itchiness&sweating - none of which I experienced). My spot has always been a few shades lighter than the surrounding skin (regardless of seasonal tan), and burnt really easily (due to a lack of pigments in that area), and it seems to be shrinking away since I've been dosing with vitamin D3 (this aforementioned study also confirms the possibility of Vitamin D-assisted repigmentation).

400 IU is equivalent to 10 micrograms, barely able to make a measurable difference unless you are severely deficient (~5-10 ng/mL). There have been products with 50,000 (! - 1250 mcg) IU per capsule with 60-120 capsules since 2000, which are meant to be taken weekly or bi-weekly (7700IU/day and 3750 IU/day respectively). Let's say we add up 80 capsules' worth of Vitamin D3, which is 4 million IU (it would take 10,000 days (roughly 27,4 years) to consume that much at the aforementioned dosage, way beyond the shelf-life of the product). They are severely and intentionally downplaying the potential of D3, since it is so cheap and generally much more effective than other much-more expensive methods. Furthermore, it does not guarantee repeated admission of patients. Here is an overview of clinical trials addressing this for multiple conditions with incredible benefit. In short, feel free to up the dosage slowly to 5-10K/IU while also addressing other cofactors such as Magnesium, Omega 3 (each have incredible benefits alone - but they work synergistically with D3, activating it and helping you absorb and use it more efficiently) and K2 (standalone vascular benefits), which in combination with D3 is also for avoiding hypercalcemia. P.S: Test your levels and experiment, different bodies react differently to different doses.
