@dapose said in Forum seems kinda dead... What other forums do you guys use:

I’ve also heard that 75~85% of the internet is just bots and ai talkings to itself…
I would love to meet human beings for coffee and cheese and high level discussion of how to end digital culture and demilitarize society.
And how to grow more fruit trees. I got a few people in my real world to bounce off ideas with thank god. But I need a Peat Gang. Pronto. Si?

I'm just assuming I'm not talking to a computer / AI, but yes, you're right. Dead internet is apparent. This new great admin I think is pulling some wool over the algos' eyes.

On fruit trees - have you seen The Wicker Man? An island in Scotland founded by a radical scientist who revives paganism and - hint - fruit trees. Sounds eerily reminiscent of the Soviet citrus program in Georgia. When the crop inevitably fails their folk ideology requires human sacrifice. All these off-grid ideas seemingly lead to variations of The Lottery / Girard-ian Scapegoating / Wicker Man / Lord of the Flies situations. One of the most disturbing things about the movie is that both systems are at peace: the pagan village has a worthy sacrifice, and the truly devout Christian becomes a martyr.

@samson said in Anabology Honey Diet & Protein Restriction:

an unexpected result was that I find myself urinating much less, and when I do, I have very little foaming, which would probably be expected when consuming low protein. I will admit that the fasting portion of the diet is pretty brutal, especially coming from drinking milk by the quart, but i think you'd get the same anti-inflammation and metabolism-boosting effects, just without the weight loss omitting it.

I noticed slightly more frequent urination, but I was plenty hydrated. I second your comment on clear breathing - it just seems to go with getting a big dose of energy from the fruits and sugar.

@James

I think dreams drive creative impulse for many people myself included. This usually means less caffeine but more sugar and sunlight. Also, I have this hunch that serotonin is tied to day-dreaming and napping. Not 100% on that, but I enjoy an occasional nap and day-dreaming or at night dreams I feel are very provocative for creating.

At the same time, depending on what you're creating, yes, caffeine, sugar and nicotine are definitely handy. I miss smoking sometimes but yeah, cigarettes/cigars, coffee, sugar, Coke, aspirin.

Because you mentioned skin and itch/irritation I'm linking this:
https://learninggnm.com/SBS/documents/skin.html

I was recently reading about skin outbreaks, rashes, etc. This page covers a lot of skin conditions including the ones you mentioned in the GNM perspective.

Questions you may consider: Why were you doing vegan diet? Why cleanses and "detoxing?"

If your blood work is good, allergen test is good, and there is no fungus in your environment, consider the cause is elsewhere. Food may be related. I would say fruit and cooked vegetables/greens might help. Gelatin and collagen from broth seems like a good idea. I know alcohol gives me histamine/inflammation reactions so rarely ever drink.

As an aside the page mentions plantar warts. Strangely enough I had this once. It was there for several months and became painful (bottom of the left foot metatarsal area). I had recently moved and left a relationship and was homesick for both. It became painful when I was once again very far from my new home. I had it frozen off after returning, and it didn't come back. I think I was moving on. It may sound a little like wishful or magical thinking, but I think this is one or two things that I've found consistent with GNM.

@Serotoninskeptic said in Anabology Honey Diet & Protein Restriction:

Im interested in trying this out but wondering your takes on it.

Saw this a few months back and decided to try a version of it.

My thought is that it requires too much consumption. It may be better to cycle between days with night-time protein and days with morning protein/fat. Granted I don't make time for elaborate breakfast and usually have coffee / fruit anyways. But, given two weekend days and five workdays, I think most people could see this as a format that could be cyclical.

I had coffee/sugar/milk, dates, mandarin oranges in the morning; cheese, occasional bread, Coke, apples for lunch; potatoes/meatloaf and/or milk for dinner. It "works" pretty well.

However, I think my blood sugar was a little too high a few times. I also think it is hacking into the metabolism sort of like cold air intake on an engine...basically just throwing fuel on a fire. I think steady is what's sustainable. I'm not mistaking steady for pufa-ridden, inflamed, depressed metabolism either because that is not good "steady."

In other words I probably have slower metabolism in general though I've been trying to eat low-pufa Peaty stuff for the last few years. I think I read somewhere that more glucose and sugar means you need to have more nutrients available to be absorbed. So it seems natural that it's better to do some like 70/30 carb to fat or carb to protein in meals too.

@GreekDemiGod said in Anabology Honey Diet & Protein Restriction:

Don't listen to young people about diet. What is he, like 25? At that age' everything works.

my thoughts exactly. Anyone under 30 is pretty adaptable.

@Atman the best part to me is seeing how Peat was interested in almost all fields and disciplines. You feel like you're reading a living library when you see certain texts mentioned by vastly different people.

@dapose said in How can I be a good doctor in modern medicine?:

My experience with every person I know and all my family members and all friends family members, I have never heard of anyone ever getting a clear answer from a doctor what is wrong with them or what they can do to help themselves. In fact medicine seems to be so broken that they are trying to just get AI to take it over so they can mask how inconsistent and “difficult,” diagnoses seems to be.

Agree. And I despise the conflict shock (see GNM) that doctors are giving people. When a doctor finds cancer and gives a life expectancy, that should be criminal. Somebody with cancer is living just fine, with some pains, until the doctor basically sends them into a panic attack. Very sick yet it "seems right," because of our "anti-cancer" "war on disease" perspective.

@ImTheRange

I'm inspired by some physical therapists who mentioned they helped people move and heal when actual MDs wanted to give people drugs and keep them in the hospital. I don't know how bad actual MD practice is when it comes to anti-truth and pro-harm, but I would say the Hippocratic oath shows what medicine should be, and I read that it is not really emphasized anymore. Is it? PT, nutrition, etc seem to be aligned health disciplines that pay well and can be very effective if not more than what standard MDs actually do. Obviously surgeons/emergency crew, and university researchers seems to have good avenues.

The MD gave me a mild painkiller but the PT ensured I didn't have to keep taking it. I don't hate MDs or mistrust them entirely but every doctor is totally different. The system seems very libertarian - could be very hands off or very hands on depending on what they believe.

@ThinPicking said in German New Medicine:

I certainly don't for the suggestion that CT scanning can be used trivially. Or that the context around the presentation of a conflict or shock isn't to be considered.

I wonder about the CT scan story especially. On the one hand, if the university / professional medical authority knew that CT scans could be possibly contributing to the shock or to the growth of cancer in the first place, then it makes sense why they would shut down Dr. Hamer quickly. It is actually illegal to practice GNM in Austria and possibly other countries in Europe. But it seems clear there was a cover-up and an intention to shut his work down. A theory needs to be tested before being shown as nonsense. On the other hand, I suppose this is my skepticism, the story of his son dying at the hand of an Italian royal, just sounds like lunacy. Is it even true? Was his son murdered intentionally for what Dr. Hamer was exposing?

Maybe it sounds like quackery, the sort of thing propped up by writers of nonsense in order for alt-health people to cling to to damage their own health. They'll see GNM as true automatically, because it was suppressed. But at a basic level, I think GNM is showing links to ancient medicine, whether Greek, Chinese or Indian. None of these systems live in an antiseptic white building, though, so there's already something organic and more "life-like" about them.
