Read this ☝️ guy's diary. @fridjonk is the king of examplary sleeping schedule

There are worse things people do to themselves than bunch of vegetable oils. Love your mom with all her faults & imperfections. That's the most you can do for her. You mean well but she may see it as an offence if she is locked in stage blue. Let go of needing to improve her diet. If she is ever interested she'll ask you.

Ferritin might give you a hint You could ask if cortisol : DHEA is an option so assess adrenal function HbA1C for long term blood sugar balance Other than that could also be down to dietary deficiency or improper diet.

How's your digestion? Most autoimmune conditions start in the gut.

I don't know how useful this is but look for cheap spaces to hire. Like a garage or a basement or maybe some old office? Lot of people rent space they own but don't use. Maybe someone somewhere won't mind you practicing if you throw 100 euros a month at them.

@actualizing25 what makes you assume you have heavy metal toxicity? Don't jump on the fear-bandwagon straight away. Do you have history of occupational exposure? (mechanic, welder, miner etc...)

Beautiful! I absolutely love nature trail types of paintings

I think we will agree that the Western diet is the worst possible diet on the planet and what wherever place you come from it will make it worse. I have never taken deep dive into Inui diet but found this piece where they explored few mummies from the 16th century and despite being very young had a progressive arterial plaque. Now they don't mention too much but this could be something you could relate to as "traditional inui diet". Small sample I know but it shows something https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6991216/ Weston Price is commonly referred to as almighty researcher but we have many other who have proven benefits of more plant-based dominated diets in their own research such as Natan Prittikin or Dean Ornish.

The problem with most heavy metal tests is that they are largely inaccurate. The common ones including hair or nail ones can be really tricky to get right as the sensitivity ratio is really unreliable. DMSA as a form of test appears to have the greatest validity but I wouldn't do that on my own. Maybe you can find a medical institution that would be willing to help you with this for a fee.

A good place to start is to explore housing. Molds for example are very pro allergenic and asthma (in many cases) is just a progressed untreated allergy. Same as dustmites and other allergens around the house. As @UDT said it is a systemic inflammatory condition meaning if the inflammation is treated properly and root cause identified, it can be healed. It is usually multifactorial which means one thing (like one supplement or herb) won't do anything and it needs to be addressed systematically and holistically by removing obstacles to healing before any healing is even attempted. Few things that make asthma worse or that can create it in the first place stress obesity systemic toxicity having allergies & living in hyperallergenic environment Excess Omega 6 over Omega 3 ratio (can override resolvin activity and create a sort of wildfire scenario where the body cannot switch off its own inflammation long after it has served its purpose) low fibre diet (especially low fruits & berries) too much animal foods in diet Poor nutrition and deficiencies messed up gut microbiome and poor diversity from either having taken many antibiotics or not having fibre in the diet lack of exercise being born to a smoker or living with a smoker being born by c-section or into water tub having taken antibiotics before the age of 3 having been born to a sterile environment (hypercleaning) Having taken corticosteroids for long time can actually make asthma worse Certain medication can wreck your immunity Immune disruption (this is a bit too complex to explain)

Heavy metals are mostly found in animal tissue exposed to industrial practices or to ocean/sea type of environment with high volume of volcanic activity that releases most of this stuff (no heavy metals in sea are not of a human origin) However there are many other equally harming chemicals, endocrine disruptors of all sorts. Persistent Organic Pollutants for example are a massive category prevalent across all types of foods including fruits & vegetables. These are as problematic as heavy metals. Medical drugs in water are another problem. If Joe X has a chemotherapy then he comes home and pees that shit out in the toilet, you bet that it is going to stay there spreading far & wide. Same if Joe is on heavy antibiotics, cocaine or other crap. If you want to explore this topic, this is an interesting read https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2726844/

I assume you HAD to find something that was "wrong" with that study because otherwise the truth would have been to harsh wouldn't it

Tell us a bit more What have you tried so far? What is your diet like? What is your lifestyle like? Smoking, Alcohol? Any other conditions? (allergies?) Anything else we should know?

No, it is not done because it is unethical. Like I said you can't design a study observing who gets sick and who doesn't as a goal. The NIH would never grant something like that. There are hundreds of people who believe that earth is flat and that Donal Trump is a lizard overlord, this argument is pointless. Nice strawman A study of 2 people is irrelevant. This is why systemic studies & meta analyses exist. You need to pool data of hundreds of thousands of people to get the ideal picture because it is VERY difficult to statistically assess the outcome. Eskimos are carnivores because you can't freaking grow a a vegetable garden where they live? Btw if you bothered to research on inui, you would know that they have horrible health, early heart attacks, early death and significant atherosclerosis. Look at this https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2981096/. Higher incidence of heart disease, more diabetes, more progressive atherosclerosis, higher blood pressure, higher cholesterol. 8/10 people in the world will die of heart disease so get your facts straight and stop spreading misinformation. Meat-based diet is a perfect way to shorten your lifespan, destroy your gastrointestinal microbiome, increase cancer risk, increase depression risk and destroy your health beyond repair. Please make sure you are not doing this just to be "different". If you can't digest plants, this needs to be fixed. Low fibre diet will cut your longevity by 30%.

His diet & lifestyle will be of primal importance in neurodegeneration. Majority of the evidence suggests that repair of central nervous damage is extremely difficult but it may be possible over some time. Know thou that if there was tissue necrosis, those area may permanently be destroyed. The brain is however extremely plastic and may find ways around the scar tissue. It is important that your husbands remain active. Daily. Physical activity stimulates brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) in the same way that lifting weights helps to grow muscle. It helps the brain rewire itself. Make sure his motoric abilities are challenged and tested. Take different walks, ask him to stand on one leg, close eyes and balance. Dance with him, challenge him to try things like yoga (if his health allows it), explore new interesting ways to get your cerebellum (coordination centre) engaged. Create mental challenges, play scrabble, chess, logic games, cards. Talk to him, show him photos of old times, make him remember very hard. Thse areas can come to life again. Stimulates his senses with known smells, tastes and revisit places. Discourage him from consuming social media and looking at screens but do promote visual & mental training of any kind. Even snakes & ladders or ludo is great. Secondly, he needs to have his vitamin D checked & optimised, that one is extremely important for neuromodulation. Zinc is another one, a key component for neuroplasticity Adequate protein in the diet but make sure it comes mostly from plant sources. Adequate fibre is essential. For example research on Parkinson's patients show that the greatest destruction in the region of the brain called Substantia Nigra (responsible for dopamine production) atrophied the most in patients with lowest fibre diets. Make sure his diet contains lots of green leafy vegetables & wholegrains. He needs sources of B vitamins & magnesium to support cerebral ATP production. Green Tea appears to be able to aid neuroplasticity to some degree and some may herbs like Gotu Kola and Gingko as they stimulate microcirculation in the brain capillaries. He may benefit from supplements like: phosphatidylserine, phosphatidylinositol, gotu kola, lion's mane, Coq10 for mitochondrial regeneration, And finally, I'd encourage you to maybe look up a book specifically on this topic. On neuromodulation, neuroplasticity. Perhaps something from Joe Dispenza. Definitely worth finding a specialist in post-traumatic neurodegeneration though, they will know much more. All the best!! EDIT: the most obvious also, make sure you guys get on the top of why the aneurysm happened. COmmon causes are high aortic pressure in the brain and atherosclerosis as well as arterial stiffening. If his blood pressure is over 120/80 you need to get that under control as well as if his LDL cholesterol is high. There are many natural ways to do that, plant based diet being the most effective. Have his blood sugar tested (HbA1C) that can contribute to arterial damage as well.

@Intraplanetary you have absolutely no idea what you are talking about friend

@Intraplanetary OFCOURSE you won't find an interventional study showing that meat causes disease. It is unethical and illegal. You would need to lock people in lab environments, restrict their diets, control everything they eat & do. You CAN'T design a study that will observe whether people do or do not develop a negative outcome. It is unethical. This is why studies on cancer can be so debatable. You can for example look at a population of 100 smokers who have been smoking for 20 years and see how many develop lung cancer, in retrospection. But you can't design a trial where half the people smoke and half won't observing who gets cancer and who doesn't.

That's a BOLD statement!!!

Have you ever been diagnosed with hypogonadism or hypopituitarism? Sounds like it worked perfectly for your situation but for a healthy person that sort of hormonal cocktail could easily turn out to be fatal. Hope it works for you over long term.

I admit that this is something I have not exposed myself to so my judgement may be clouded and partial.

I'm not talking about chugging pills that suppress immune system and that sort of stuff. The nutritional science goes way beyond that. It is naive to think that just because something is "natural" or "new-agey" it is also safe and good in the long term A lot of what you know is because somebody has bothered to look at it and study it. You and me both brother but one can empower self-healing mechanisms of the body also by following procedures that have been tested & verified. not talking about modern medicine here - that's another level of heresy.

Sounds like the question is whether you should start feeding your body properly or not. The answer is probably yes

The good thing about his books is that he pushes people towards eating more wholefood diet & recommends a bunch of really good supplements. If you are a typical American or European coming from a standard diet devoid of any nutrition, you feel reborn on his protocol. You'll have more energy and probably be happier which may lead to saying you've "detoxed yourself" where in reality you started feeding your body some real food and are feeling normal for the first time. The ghost, source & the other stuff surrounding his book sells in the eyes of people stuck in lower SD stages who want to believe in that stuff. Most of his advice is pseudoscience and it is mesmerizing how much the guy can get away with. But then, science is self-limiting in every aspect so what do we know...

Wow, that's really impressive. Many hours must have been put into creating it! Love the atmosphere you created especially the wind, gives it an impression of blissful solitude

This could possibly be suggesting that the underlying issue has not been removed. Maybe it would be helpful to work with a herbalist alongside the carnivore to help you include some antibacterial and a gut cleansing protocol. If that is successful, you'll definitely be able to consume more plants.
