I'm probably gonna say "no". I studied marketing in Uni and actually graduated in it and yet I am as clueless about marketing as the next man. Creating a small business now I'm having to re-learn everything. The tips @herghly mentione can give you more insights than 5 years at business uni because so much of the stuff they teach is a useless nonsense, ideology, theories and outdated stuff. Now I don't know about your uni, could be that they are well caught up with the real world but when I studied (7 years ago) nothing we learned was practical in real world unless you want to do the typical shady marketing which is just selling more crap.

While its none of my business to comment on your life at all, what I would say that doing this may mess up your circadian clock and it will take your a long time to fix a broken biorhythm. Unless the reason is really significant, I would never sacrifice a night sleep. Some good ways to keep your energy up start your day with proper breakfast. try to avoid fasting and meal skipping Consider a cool shower in the morning get your eyes exposed to daylight or going for a short walk make sure your iron and your B-vitamins are in check as well as vitamin D green tea or Yerba matte are good non-toxic stimulants. I got a short ebook to help ppl gain more energy, you can download it from free, got it in the signature. There is some helpful stuff in there. Good luck

@Leo Gura Leo, I'd be curious what sort of stuff have you tried with SIBO? No problem if you don't wanna talk about it. Was it Rifaximine or Erthromycin, the expensive antibiotics? Things like Goldenseal in high doses (up to 6 capsules per day in 3 divided doses) combined with psylium husk (up to 4 grams in 3 divided doses) (to remove dead bacteria before they start to wreak havoc as LPS) and combined with high strain probiotics (to help you repopulate) and something to help you restore gut permeability (most ppl with SIBO have a degree of leaky gut) such as 1 litre of cabbage juice for 1 week/ day or 2-4 grams of glutamine combined with zinc and liquorice tincture to restore the integrity. And all during low-fodmap diet for up to 8 weeks. But you've probably tried that already. I know you don't want people to nose-in so I'll shut up from now on

@Striving for more the master of ranting

And there are tablets that can increase your penis size in 2 weeks by 20%. Ever heard of scam products?

@Elsiedottie Yes and no. I would say having a higher IQ does not predispose the person to higher EQ but a person with higher IQ is likely to catch up more on the subtle language of Emotional intelligence should they decide to study it rather than somebody with naturally low IQ levels. But it doesn't always have to be like that and you can have a person with very high EQ levels while the other is fairly low.

yeah feel free, I'm not a dermatologist or anything like that but maybe it will be similar to that what I've seen before. Could be a combination of things and may be other than just the histamine per se. When I was suffering from my allergies, the histamine release was just the symptom but the real cause was an imbalance in my adaptive immune system which I managed to recalibrate with a blend of medicinal mushrooms and high-fibre diet with some echinacea. But to this day, I think it was the mushrooms that made the most difference. Maybe in your case the vaccines have also tipped your immune system to one side (this is a bit too complex to explain but I can try if you want to do some research) and because of that these reactions have started to come up. I think, as a part of the experiment, you could try experimenting with a short blend of medicinal mushrooms. Reishi has the best evidence for antiallergenic effects as far as I know and I think they made a difference for me as well. Either that or a mix with others such as Maitake, Lion's Mane etc. Lot of research is showing that mushrooms are like Immuno calibrators and sometimes can rebalance and overactive immune system that was triggered by something (maybe an excessive reaction to vaccination) Just theories form my side, but could be worth your time Feel free to DM me if you'd like to discuss this further. Other than that the topic of heavy metal detox may be worth exploring for sure if nothing else helps. That topic has been discussed here heavily.

I wonder if this could be driven by either an allergic or an intolerance reaction to something. I was working with someone who had asthma, allergies and a skin condition. He said whenever his allergies flared up, his asthma flared up and his skin reaction got the worst. He would get huge red spots all over his back. Just wondering, have you seen any potential connection to anything that this could be immunological? Do you get any other allergic symptoms? How did you react antihistamines? did they make any difference ?

@Snader have you ruled out things such as basic deficiencies (vitamin A, E, D,, zinc, magnesium, folate) essential fatty acid deficiency, hypothyroidism, gut problems, stress etc? Also, I'm curious has that thing on your skin got a formal diagnosis of some sort? What tests have your doctors run so far? May be down to heavy metals but may not. More often heavy metal toxicity will be apparent from changes in cognitive health (bad focus, worsening memory, a gradual increase in brain fog) as well as liver problems (being hyper sensitive to smells, having problems with things like coffee, alcohol and medication) or elimination problems with kidneys (e.g. being puffy, retaining water and feeling like water is building up inside)

and this...ladies and gentlemen....is how to stay single forever It is not about being offended or not. The signal you are sending is "I am in desperate need of a vagina so I'll skip through the formalities and ask if you are up for a shag" tune it down bro, actually learn to be gentle, caring and a bit romantic, show some emotional stability, empathy and some non-toxic masculinity first.

Good post @Preety_India I'd add an amazing immunomodulating function through their beta-glucan content. Because of this some of them may even be used during treatment of autoimmunity, asthma and allergies. Also a nice hack to increase their vitamin D content is to chop them up and let them sit on a direct sun for half a day. It is just D2 so not as biologically active as D3 but still better than nothing

@Thought Art you may want to look into telomere shortening and relation to diet & lifestyle. Second thing are antioxidants such as glutathione that protect your cells from damage. Do your best to prevent unnecessary abuse of antioxidants. Certain foods accelerate ageing while others don't. Any way I look at this, eating only low to moderate protein (1g per kg of bodyweight is more than enough for most ppl) diet with as little animal products, sugar and alcohol while staying as active as possible but not excessively.

If you have healthy elimination channels, stuff is going out all the time. I wouldn't necessarily engage in a serious detox protocol just for the fun although of course, it may be a nice time to ground yourself and take a step back. You can already start to detox by cutting all sources of junk, phosphates, sulphates, nitrates and most cheap factory-farmed meats and eggs and dairy. Going organic where possible helps and consuming at least 60g of fibre to help remove metabolites packaged by the liver. Any detox should always start with cleaning a gut because this is where all the stuff is being dumped in. ACC is a big topic but if you don't feel like doing that, Toxin Sollution may be another option for you.

Natural fats such as nuts and seeds, not at all, they are protective actually. yeah I saw hope you found it helpful and not too complicated I think you can live perfectly well without added salt as long as you consume enough sodium-rich vegetables but I find sometimes meals need just little bit to kinda tickle the tongue, if you know what I mean. The harmful amounts are I think over 3g per day. Yeah, I've heard this independently from other people that eggs make them tired. Maybe it is the tryptophan and maybe just the sheer amount of energy it takes to digest egg protein. Diet is very individualised but speaking from a longevity and wellbeing perspective eating as little animal product as possible seems to be the way to go. I know many on the forum will disagree, this is just what I've gathered based on my research into a variety of diseases, organs and conditions. Don't know if you read my BDNF blog but when researching that I was surprised to find how much it gets suppressed by saturated fats...so maybe that says something.

I've heard about rare cases of brain aneurysm from extreme pressure caused by powerlifting but you are looking at people who deadlift 400kilograms not your average human being. Most likely you have stiff neck muscle and either need to get a massage or just take a break for few days, refeed, rehydrate and do regular stretching morning, evening.

@fridjonk In this study, men who ate >2.5 eggs were also more likely to have have higher BMI (being overweight is a massive risk factor for prostate cancer) and had the highest consumption of red meat and dairy (red meat is strong carcinogen and dairy is kinda controversial as well). They also consumed the least tomato sauce (tomatoes are super protective from prostate cancer) and drank the most coffee (high coffee intake was assoc with increased risk of prostate complications in other studies but it is still not 100% certain why this is, probably something to do with hyper contraction of smooth muscle around prostatic tissue). Another thing is that those the study participants were health professionals which would suggest that maybe they have better nutritional knowledge, doctors are not necessarily the most knowledgable in this topic and health professionals generally are among the most stressed people in the world (and stress will probably also be relevant here). Also many health professionals eat cheap hospital cantine shit food loaded in salt, oil and fat. Things like scrambled eggs and red meat with mashed potatoes and fizzy drink will probably be common. Also consider that health professionals are frequently sleep-deprived and sleep deprivation is another risk factor for cancer But these people with the highest consumption were likely to have overall pretty bad diets I assume with a lot of animal products and too little plants. As far as the prostate is concerned, the number 1 risk is a high-fat diet. I recall when I was doing my final thesis on benign prostatic hyperplasia (prostate growth) high fats diet was a MASSIVE contributor to this. Like we are talking around 45% increased risk if over 30% of calories came from fats especially animal fats. So it is possible that high consumption of eggs (eggs being high in animal fats) can be problematic. Consider that fats are often easily oxidised and most people who eat a lot of eggs fry them on cheap shitty oils like sunflower or even worse on butter which is where you oxidise the oil you fry on and also oxidise the cholesterol in eggs turning it into oxidised LDL, a free radical that acts like a tiny little time bomb. Prostatic tissue is sensitive to this sort of stuff. Also excess choline can be turned into triethylamine-n-oxide (TMAO) in the gut if the microbiome is not that healthy and this is another risk factor for bad health. We also have to be mindful that since these people were consuming 15.5 servings of dairy per week (although I can't find how much 1 serving was in this study and we know very well that dairy is loaded with growth factors such as IGF-1 which is like a steroid for your prostate cells growth. Then there is more growth factors in beef which is also loaded in chemicals and other crap and they were also probably eating more processed meats, salamis, bacons and all of that which are all classified carcinogens so it may not just be the eggs per se but the fact that there was a lot of animal food on the table. Anyway, long-story-short. Eating too much animal products may be a problem. If you were my client I'd definitely encourage you to cut down those eggs probably down to like 5-7 per week max but since you're not I'll just say try to cut it down a bit. You can get a lot of protein from things like lentils and tofu and they ar both highly protective from many forms of cancers and are even tastier imo And if you are hesitant to cut down on them, consider upping your vegetables as fibre can help remove more dietary cholesterol before it gets absorbed in the intestines. Most of all, don't fry your eggs but boil them to preserve cholesterol integrity and prevent oxidation. Also if you fry use olive oil. Long answer but hopefully helpful

What makes you think you have HM toxicity?

Make sure that your desire to achieve unachievable does not drive you into the woo woo land of buying "magical" growth remedies. Once your epiphyseal growth plate calcifies (at age 21-23) that's it, no more growth. Maybe consider how you hold your body. Some people hunch a lot and could easily gain 2cm just by walking straight, turning their shoulders backwards and chest upwards. Derek Simnet's girlfriend has evidently grown a bit buy doing a lot of yoga, you could look up her channel Kristal Kennings but not sure if she talks about this. There are also drastic surgical procedures, they are risky, expensive and extremely painful. I am 184 and where Iive (UK) that's a perfectly normal height. I'd say only about 20-30% of guys are taller than me. 183 is not all that bad

@Kamran great! There are lots of cookbooks for pressure cookers but generally they are easy to improvise with. Good luck

what determines "wrong" perspective and "right" perspective? The word perspective per say is just that...perspective. It is a naked word carrying no real value. My perspective on business, finances, money, girls, food, this forum and everything else is 360 different from yours. Does it mean either of us is wrong? If I brought you a book in my native language from your "perspective" it would be useless. From my perspective it could hold a groundbreaking information. Your mom or the other people do not see your attempt to help as an attempt to help but as an attempt to sabotage. A lot of people looking for help are not actually looking for help, they are just looking to get more love. Perhaps that is all you need to do, share more love and accept that people are where they are and in 99% cases there is nothing you can do about it. If they are ready to accept more than just love, they will come back and ask your opinion.

@seeking_brilliance thanks, man Will try it and let you know how it went.

I think it might just be his face. If you look at all of his videos you see the same facial expression. Not everybody can have a lovable face and a beautiful girlfriend like Derek Simnet.

Good post, pretty sure that majority of carnies could eat plants again if they fixed their sibo

Man this is perfect! All you need. The only additional investment that would REALLY be worth is a tiny portable fridge. Like one of those small cubes that are literally big for one pot. To store the meals from your pressure cooker. Seriously the pressure cooker is the only thing you need. And from the list of foods you mentioned, seems like you already have what it takes. You can create wonderful stews and soups in it. What I do is I cut 10 different vegetables, add 2 cups of lentils, 1 block of tofu and 6-8 different spices and then just cooked everything on high heat for 12 minutes. You get healthy, high protein, high fibre meals. Super cheap and one that will last you for up to 4 days. The only thing you may need is that fridge and maybe 1-2 large glass containers to store the food. But otherwise you got everything you need right there. You can also use the pot to make oatmeal for breakfast, to make great soups, to make meat, rice, quinoa bowl. I mean...there are no limits. If the fridge is not an option then make small amounts. Alternatively do you have a balcony as a form of storage?
