Not sure how healthy red can be but maybe looking from their perspective a ruler or dictator who did not mercilessly kill his subjects but still gioverned with iron fist could be considered a stage red I think Fidel Castro's regime could be a healthier stage Red. Maybe also Gaddafi in Lybia before being killed by the US army as the country seemed to thrive during his dictatorship but I don't know a lot of details into his politics. When we look at Roman Empire, most of the 14 emperors were somewhere between red and blue. You could say Augustus was an evolved stage red, as well as Tiberius where Nero was more aggressive form, the suspicious and malevolent type. Marcus Aurelius would be an evolved stage blue. Julius Cesar was a red dictator who exploited poor tribes of Galia although under his thyrany, the empire seemed to profit, one could say he was a "healthy" dictator. Ancient Sparta seems like a healthy red where Athens was already quite blue in that time. Healthy purple, you could look into Egyptian pharaohs, Native Americans (Sitting Bull, Geronimo etc...), Mayans, Aztecs who were slaughtered by unhealthy red group of Spanish mercenaries under Hernan Cortez. Nowadays the inuit (escimo) people seem fairly purple

I would be surprised if that was so. These days it is the most obvious thing and I think Leo's diet from what he mentioned in some videos is fairly well balanced to recieve those daily 150mcg of iodine needed. More likely this issue is deeper and maybe even stemming from something in very early childhood such as viral infection or mitochondrial dysfunction especially when there is also the fatigue present. But we can only speculate.

It is possible the fungal infection is opportunistic after your immunity has been weakened by STD protocol. Have you been tested for candida albicans? Herbal protocol can be powerful for fungal overgrowth as long as you can find a good practitioner. Dietary adjustments would be needed as well and a supplemental regime to improve your immunity should you decide to go down more holistic route. I agree with @Derek White, get a second opinion, that seems like a massive dose of pharmaceuticals likely to weaken your immune system further. If you are prescribed antibiotics for fungal infection, that is a mark of bad doctor because antibiotics don't do shit for fungal overgrowth (unless they don't know and are throwing everything at you), at the same time it is necessary to consider consequences of untreated pathogen overgrowth. What testing have they done and what is your formal diagnosis? Do you an have option to receive treatment in a western country? What other drugs have you been given? By the way, medrol is not an antibiotic, it is a steroid used to suppress inflammation and autoimmune disease. Do you have any ongoing autoimmune condition? Otherwise prescribing immunosuppresant for fungal infection is like shooting members of firebrigade who came save your burning house.

Do you mean like muscle pain? Has it ever been checked?

Good stuff for chronic problems. Not a fan of daily therapeutic doses for healthy person thou. Sometimes, body will purposely induce an inflammatory response to repair tissues or fight a pathogen so dosing large anti-inflammatory doses all the time may lead to delayed wound healing and proliferation of invasive species. Also, turmeric alters certain parts of liver detoxification pathways so in longer terms they may become compromised. Small doses such as a 1/2 teaspoon into your curry pot are great but megadosing can cause problems. But it all depends on the amount you take and the content of curcumin in there

for a lot of people it was also "pushed under their nose" by parents and often by luck (or higher power). Like if your parents were doctors you would be brought up with a sense of caring and responsibility for others, as such becoming doctor would be your life purpose and the path would be clealry cut for you from early age. Same if you dad was, say a pastor in church or a teacher. On the other hand, Cal Newport says that the "passion hypothesis", the theory that there is one special career out there for everyone is not correct. He says the "passion is made not found. " Means you start doing something and you become so good at it that it becomes your purpose. This is also how many got into it. Believe it or not, lot of people are happy in mundane corporate jobs and think they have found their life's purpose.

I've been suffering from this for as long I can remember. Alternated nostril congestion. Usually both are between 65-70% open. Sometimes one completely blocked. It used to be worse when I had bad allergies but even since getting rid of those, this hasn't really got away. I suspect I might have developed nasal polyps from years of allergies that causes me constant chronic inflammation in upper nose. Maybe that's your case as well and those need to be surgically removed. Tried everything from cleansing diets, herbs, mushrooms, netti-pods, alternated breathing, acupressure. Never had any luck. Let me know if you find anything

@Arcangelo great stuff mate. Good luck in the race!

Photography works for me, I'll occasionally take my Nicon and head out looking for specific shots in nature or on streets. Stargazing (where possible) with binoculars is pretty amazing. I like to look up constellations with the astronomy app or just look deep into the night sky...gets my imagination running. Orion Nebula is pretty facinating and I've recently found Andromeda galaxy for the first time. Also pretty cool during full moon. Any sort of reading or audible especially good story books. If you are a bit nerdy than Metro 2033 is sick on audible. Another of my favourite is in the evening, light few candles, start a slow music on youtube, than I perform yoga movements for 20 minutes followed by laying down on back with arms outstretched, dropping few drops of levander essential oils on my forehead, behind years and on sides of neck and lay down for 20 minutes...this is the most powerful relaxation method I've found Hot bath with 300g of epsom salt, contains magnesium sulphate and helps relax muscles. (not relax but quite entertaining) Outdoor exercise can be turned into fun if you make it kinda obstacle run with a lot of jumping, running etc..

I have recieved a lot of compliments when I was younger (around 16-25) for being well-built. Once girls get slightly older, they are not that attracted to muscle that much any more ,confidence and sense of purpose in life and humour seem to be more interesting to them. That being said, if you are muscular, most ladies will react positively to it as long as it is accompanied by other things. Also I found that girls who are not very much into fitness, don't care about this where those who exercise more frequently put more attention to it.

you know I am a bit on the fence with Soya Milk. One thing are soya isolates and concentrates like to Soy-derived drinks and Soy proteins. That stuff will mess you up. But the typical Soy Milk like Alpro in UK has sooo little actual soy that it is in my opinion harmless. But I haven't researched this to be able to tell for sure.

"Radioactive technetium-99m is combined with DMSA and injected into a patient, followed by imaging with a gamma camera after 2-3 hours." Sounds appealing Why do you think you have heavy metal toxicity?

The oestrogen-theory is not supported in research. Soy contains something called phytoestrogens, plant chamicals that resembles a molecular structure of oestradiol and can dock onto a certain type of oestrogen receptors. They, however, do not have the same affinity and same strength, phytoestrogens potency at the oestrogen receptor is one-thousandth the amount of actual biological oestrogens. In females, soy is protective against oestrogen dominant diseases such as endometriosis, fibroids, potentially PCOS and breast cancer and ovarian cancer as well as bone loss and complications of menopause in older women. In men, the effects is extremely weak and unlikely to produce any effects. The manboobs you see are from other animal products, from lack of physical activity, sedentary lifestyle, sugar and excessive aromatisation (androgenic hormone production) in the fat cells You need to be hundred times more affraid of the crap you get in dairy which is a bovine oestradiol, several times stronger than biological one in humans accompanied by growth factor IGF-1. Everybody is afraid of soy yet we continue happily drinking milk and eating dairy and cheap meats. When going for soy, go for organic where possible though because it has been heavily sprayed and modified....so that kinda suck but the health benefits have been proven.

I would look into Joe Dispenza's work on Alzheimer's as well. A lot of people who worked on energetic healing seemed to have got incredible results repairing their brain cells. You could also consider getting tested for gene called ApoE4, many companies can do this nowadays, it increases a risk of Alzheimer's 11*fold. Whether you have this or not, many of these testing companiees can than offer therapeutic support. There is a company in UK called Lifecode GX who do this and so does Genova I think. A naturopathic protocol combining nutrition, herbal therapy with some energetic healing could work really well for you

There are some eye exercises. A lot of looking at screens and proximal objects weakens some of the optic muscles behind eyes. I don't have any particular resource but there are some "eye -gymnastics" online. Maybe look into those and do few minutes a day. There is also the Bate's method that a lot of people have benefited from. But as others have pointed out a visiting to ophthalmologist would be advised just to get some examination done and see what's up. No need to wear glasses or anything just have it checked.

Essential to keep a decent intake of branch-chain amino acid: leucine, valine and isoleucine. These will prevent your body using up muscle protein when in caloric deficient and will instead use the ones from diet to feed the urea cycle. You should probably work very slowly on the caloric restriction and rather than starving yourself, add a bit more of anaerobic training such as HIIT or jogg. If you go too big on caloric restriction you will start sending starvation signals to your body which slows down your fatty acid oxidation, your thyroid T3 conversion and increases your levels of cortisol. So maybe start by reducing your caloric intake by 100 kcal a week until you get to around 500-600kcal reduction comparing to where you are now. That's where I would draw the line and carry on until you see your weight platoing which is where there is time to change the direction. You can than consider a shock approach such as increasing your caloric intake for a couple days to reassure your body that it is not being starved, this will probably slow down your reduction and may even pack back a little but once you get back on the reduction process, it will once again get you a bit further. Sustain a high intake of dietary antioxidants (not from supplements) because weight loss especially fat loss produces a lot of free radicals so you want to mop those up as fast as possible. Along the whole process, you could consider taking L-carnitine as that helps the fatty acids to get through mitochondria to be burned, it is also being made in your body as long as your diet is well balanced so no need to if that doesn't sound appealing. You will also need good supply of all B-vitamins especially B1, B2, B3, B5 and magnesium as you will be burning a lot of energy. You can get these from focusing on enriched foods or from a supplement. And finally maybe a herbal tonic such as rhodiola tincture or siberian ginseng to support nervous system, balance stress (weight loss is a percieved stressor to the body) and physical performance. Good luck! Let us know how it goes in couple weeks

good old Simnet

Bovine hormones are still extremely high, organic does not make it any better. Unless you are todler or a growing teenager who need a lot of growth factors to support cell growth, it is best to stay away from drinking milk.

I really want to believe that humans can thrive solely on raw living foods but from some of the experience with people who came to our clinic in awful shape following restrictive diet, I did not get that message. It did not also work for me and I felt cold and exhausted. I think we do need some protein and essential fatty acids and other components not found in raw foods in any significant numbers. For sure we don't need all the supplements and dumping ourselves with so much protein and starch as we do today. Raw food diet can be an amazing healing diet such as when one fights cancer. I don't know if it is a good thriving and re-building diet.

Sometimes meditation won't do it and you need to get your hands dirty with a lot of journaling and contemplating. Leo's Life Purpose course is amazing if you can afford it. Tony Robbins's - Awaking the Giant within can be helpful. LifeCoaching works beautifully for finding one's drive as well. Other than that you need to brainstorm and ask yourself a lot of questions but from my experience sometimes a bit of guidance from a book or an expert can be lifechanging. Good luck !!

@Rilles it was year-round so I could not pinpoint it to a single trigger. I think the core problem was persistent inflammation and a bit of immunological imbalance which is where the mushrooms came and corrected that. For me, most of the antihistamines (pharmaceutical or natural) never worked so I knew the problem was somewhere else. Possibly a bit of congestion in the upper area as well where I used some circulatory herbs.

I cured my allergies with some herbal remedies and medicinal mushrooms not sure if that counts. They have been present for 15 years and since last April, I haven't had a single allergic reaction.

Most likely psychological indeed. Some deep-work needs to be done to uncover the trigger. Establishing good meditative practice would be the first step Joe Dispenza has an incredible meditation on energy centre activation https://drjoedispenza.com/collections/meditations-english/products/blessing-of-the-energy-centers-i-1-cd maybe that could help to "unlock" any energetic flow that has been stagnant, perhaps a glandular weakness or simply an unwillingness to let go? Bachflower remedies can be quite helpful with subtle soul-healing. Australian Bush Flower Essences have few that could help: "Calm & Clear" and "Purify". Journalling to put down any thoughts and concerns.

Thanks for sharing. I think this definitely needs to be the first step for you to address. We don't often realise it but getting deliveries we have no control over the content of salt, sugar, saturated fats, oxidixised cholesterol, rancid oils that have been re-fried 100 times that day, additives, msg, hydrogenated trans fats. All these things will be impacting your body on cellular level. Each cell in your body is wrapped in a fatty coating called phospholipid bilayer, this is kinda a protective layer that the cell selectively allows substances to pass through. This layer is dependant on the type of fat we eat. If we eat too much-saturated fat from animal foods, the membrane becomes stiff and the cell starts having trouble communicating with the "outside world". This is also a predisposition for insulin resistance. If the cell becomes too resistant, it cannot accept nourishment and starts malfunctioning, the mitochondria struggle to produce energy, we become sluggish, tired, brain fogged....do you see where I am going? And so, I'd challenge you to remove all the takeways from your diet and take full responsibility for your meals. You could buy something like a Mediterranean cookbook or some sort of plant-based book. Learn few batch cook recipes and start putting them in practice. You want foods with less oils, less calories, less friend animal flesh. Half of every plate should be only mixed vegetables, than add legumes or other wholegrains, and a clean source of protein. Replace any carbonated and sweet drinks with water. Just by doing this, I bet you'll start to feel more energised in few weeks without needing private testing. It does not have to be a neurotransmitter problem, I would pinpoint it down to cellular level where cells struggle to produce sufficient energy and work optimally. Good luck !!

PUA is a community of boy-men who try to succeed with women by being fake, manipulating, shooting from hip giving insincere compliments and dropping cringy lines. It is a mechanical approach with some success rate with girls who are dumb enough to fall for that kind of stuff. If you want to succeed with women, embrace both of your masculinity and feminity, find your purpose and your drive in life, be genuinely confident in your abilities but also don't be afraid to become a jester and make fun of yourself. You have to strike the balance between being serious and playful. The alpha-macho men that most PUA strive for will always fail in the long-terms and these guys get taken over by the beta-males who spent decades working on themselves, their spirituality, their emotional intelligence and their life purpose.
