I truly believe processed sugar is a drug. People are addicted to it. Hence ALL the metabolic disorders. Countless studies and using fitness and fasting to overcome insulin resistance show this.
Not saying t is all bad. Caffeine is a drug too. Everything is neuorochemical/electrical. You can see him tweaking here. It is sugar highs. Food is literally a drug, that's why there's tens of thousands of examples.
From the sugar replacements in coke zero, to the ultraprocessed drug like various fats and sugars in things.

It catches up. Even people who think they have perfect genes... where's the cancer and diabetes and heart disease coming from? It is going up as is death in like every age category according to some.
Cancer will happen to 1/3 of people, even good looking, great gened people. Poison is poison.

Some get away forever some don't. The people who smoked and lived to 120, 40 years ago... only had smoke. They had higher test and less poison in food (ya a lot had lead, and paint, and shyt like that... mining chemicals). 50-100 years from now they will show human beings killed themselves with food and medicine.

The perfect diet is water. Water fast forever. It leads to death if done forever though.
Yeah I don't think sugar is great but imo I think glyphosate in foods is a lot worse as that chelates all your minerals, replaces and takes glycines place in the body, inhibits your CYP450 enzymes so you can't metabolise Vit A properly (leading it to build up in harmful amounts), and it messes up your liver and causes neurotoxicity.

This, seed oils, vaccines + meds, other chemicals/pesticides and lack of potassium in people's diets are why people are getting ill imo

No coffee while you're on TEI, @Fazed22 ? How's it going?

Ok I try my black coffee iced, and my anavar a tiny bit 10mg, and dex 20mg... I gotta make money ok. same with school, i gotta live and be healthy.
You wouldn't take Heroin away from Leonardo DiCaprio in the Basketball Diaries, would you??

DEX>>> coffee and anavar but not the same.

I had test yday. OMAD perhaps but if I get hungry, I will have some eggs and butter and salt. Make ground beef at night. I need to make back some meme stuff.

If I get sick, ya don't take anavar and dex on an empty stomach, while eating carnivore. Being pretty and really smart should mean I should be allowed to do anything, but the human body doesn't work that way. They aren't studying it and they're mean. I gotta go for now. Acidity from coffee and lying down a lot and like... ya i had yogurt a lot yday. Also a bunch of chocolate but the first time in like a month or more. I did like 2 years no enjoyable food except soldier like focus and discipline (which by the way I love and can't maintain without ADHD medicine).

If I needed asthma medicine to live, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't without ADHD medicine. Maybe I'm damaged, but what do you want from me. I need to live in the world!!

CONTRARY to a man that took 6 yrs to get better, (I did pssd and mania like 1.5-2 years solid work and most of pfs like 1 year and a half but ya i shd have continued stuff), my tests were pretty clean and my endocrine tests were hell in 2017 and healthy as fuck in 2018 end 2019. thyroid, b12, etc, etc. I am not saying I mtn that health forever, but yeah Clarke E is a douchey nerd.

He probably strings patients along forever and never cures em of anything. I asked him like 4 very smart questions and not an answer. LOL. He knows zero. I deleted my questions to him on Twitter, bc he's a dumbass.

James gandolfini did coke all the time and drank and ate a lot and literally he was one of the coolest mofos out there.

Nice humble lady, I think she is a lot better than even here now. she says 90 percent or so improvement but half energy she had back in the day, but way more than say 5-7mo ago.
Good info and ya short pleasures not worth it. BEING where I was 2019 2020 2018 end 2021 most but with better erection quality and better lh/ fsh, would be perfect. up til 2022 2023 and no vax.. literally fitter more healthy than 85percent of ppl but it was 94-97 percent for sure if not more. that is why i think androgens help me because what else made me kill fat more than ever, discplined as fuck, and stronger than ever but ya it was out of necessity and it wasn't all randro/4andro. working out after fasting will help u tons anyways, esp since fasting, strength, helps (and so should a stim and certain androgens) for slows.

i was literally hit on daily again for years and years... and I mean with no energy, ya i wouldn't want to date, why it isn't fun. and not excited. i was in 2019 2020, 2021 a lot more. 2018 i was for sure able to but just needed to fix my career, money, and FFS health before that. ANd it takes a lot to process brain damage, going to neutral, getting healthy then putting trauma behind you and it takes time getting used to different neurological/mental health states, even when they are far superior.


not sure if my goal is to become fast 1 or optimized slow 1. probably the latter but not sure. i asked like 6 yrs ago or more.

Lith Or and TEI maybe all I need to help mood, focus, and slow down but somehow actually speed up, and be high energy again. I am sleeping 10hrs a day cuz I'm down. 9-10hrs and sad but getting better.
No yogurt and no rice bread yday I'd have been less depressed.

Glad I didn't have any cheese nor crazy desert like uncooked cookie dough. I did eat a lot of a chocolate ah fuck i forgot. Anyways eating beef patties soon and butter. Should have taken some damned protein with anavar and dex ffs. NO WHEY no vits no minerals. I PAID evenbetternow 500 dollars or something for 2 hairtests (something insane).

SELL don't wait for big payouts. I can think of 3 trades differently selling earlier and my stocks would be 155000 CAD higher. Don't steal from me, I am poor. And I will find you and destroy you (when in shape and healthy, I walk and run like a cheetah and lift like T-1000). If you want to steal or kill a sick person, then you're a piece of shit.

Also ya 4800 -10k higher on my small meme wallet, a few trades different. and my lev account 6k usd loss from back in day would be erased. I will make overall.. less is more.

My brother got 99th percentile on the MCAT. I was getting 95-97th on the LSAT. I could probably just study some orthomolecular medicine textbooks and that the Strands of Hair stuff. Not sure this shyt will practically help me but it should at least a bit. It isn't gonna say this will fix mood and stability and this will help test, dht, 5ar. Tho I know copper, zinc are implied there for mood. AND iron is important.

I am eating one meal a day, just having 2-3 black coffees, barely any dex. Feel so anxious and sad and down. But yeah that is the market too. I never felt depressed for the most part when focused and studying for econ and finishing (tho finished late) and wouldn't in law. the thing is business/ trading u can make life changing money and fix things and set up other shyt. law is a workaholic career and you can't do other shyt as much while doing that. gotta finish young. i had health problems and still do. so it sucks. ill try tho tei soon. maybe carnivore will shine in weeks months. maybe test and var made me sad idk...

ill get test cream soon and i will start a trading course and i mean whatever worst case maybe i finish my school stuff later... and with a fair bit more mny saved up so it isn't so bad. ppl change careers and stuff. creative stuff/ prolly better anyways. ppl like me usually leave law at 30-35 anyways and use that money for other shyt. some really like it tho. small business/niche law shyt/ your own firm is a really really good ADHD career. Research or teaching too. BIG law like big finance isn't the best for some types of ADHDers.

Anyways, I am sure I will have more 5-10x's and some 20x's in this crypto shyt soon enuff. NO liquidations. Should trade like 20-25 weeks a year or less maybe 8. but then fucking close lol.

I was so happy and ev1 wanted to get to know me and stuff in 19 20 21 18 and stuff i avoided the fuck out of ppl to focus to succeed, but it made me trade and isolate... i got addicted. but i beat all addictions. i don't get it. i will again. rather trade 3x a yr and 9x a cycle and make 100-300k or something than trade all day and barely get to live and make way less. for sure. i got rid of most overtrading tho but ya. i recovered from liqdns yday more easily bc, I have long term stocks and longer term holds. but those could be better and earlier too. i only like acting, writing, law stuff. and some trading. i can't do all the normal jobs/careers. i can't build houses or be an electrician... i don't know how.

i will buy some minerals and add my enzymes maybe and be a lot better. and take dex 10mg at least per day. and maybe hold off on hormones until i have test cream. and if it sucks after a couple of a few weeks
go to tei. i know i said this basically a lot. this is my log so what you want from me. you shouldn't have locked down, it was wrong. crazy kids had to workout and play with their friends and you ruined it all.

for what??? ev1 with 50 boosters are dying literally. 3-4 boosters... soccer players dropping dead, docs/ residents are too. people kicked out of the military. anyways i hope the next plague kills all my enemies. that and their little medicine.

also on my youtube or substack could be stuff about stoicism and philosophy. anyways i will see. first i get healthier and work on my funds.

--at least 3 different women tried to save me.. that i cared about in 2019-2021 if not many more but 3 come to mind. i guess i had a troubling addiction while i was building my life up again.
--i am sure tei does help too. fasting and all that. i cured bad vices for yrs and yrs. but u gotta replace em with love and ppl for sure. and that is hard to do if u replace em with other addictions. hmm.

--lev trading is harder to quit than coke and drinking and all those things... but i ignore it for a long time but then too depressed to do other stuff. it is my normal job but i will get better at it...
--and mostly it is memes and long term things that help u anyways. law >>> a neet. look at fucking techlead. he is smart and funny for sure but... i mean wtf is he doing with his life? he lost loads on stocks and shyt. i ain't a scammer tho.

-if u are hiding ur work and u can go bankrupt and it hurts u and u can't stop.. ya that's an addiction. it is better now trust me but ya it can be even better.

I am sure Aztec and Goose said and Helen and Bruschi were like keep going. Keep doing tei but that seemed so simple and I don't know why that fkd me up... keeping things simple.
I felt cured and felt like ok now supps.. ok now no supps ok tongkat ali.. ok ill get better agn --> maybe an HRT / never works for anyone --> then got sick and didn't know what to do.

i am trying now tho. i am sure i will make funds and i will feel that will buy me time. to do this rite. doing it rite for now anyways, but carnivore only may shine and get a lot better. tired for sure.
-carnivore, some black coffee, dex, some test for now. but i can lose test.
--and i can switch to tei. i am sure something will click and i will be great again, I didn't come this far to quit.
00F


1.22pm 8.06.2024. eating lite if need be but ideally just dinner.
-nauseated or head pain then no hormones but carnivore should shine in a month. just seeing 2-3 weeks on test enanthate this is week 2 starting.

I guess bc of minerals being behind enzymes and hormones, and bad metals blocking minerals, and improved detox pathways, tei>>>carnivore and all. I am sure results would be great again. I am sure if I fasted 30d they'd be even better again. But it is a prgm can't tell you why x, y, z only needs carnivore and why a, b, c, needs that and hormones (for men or women, pfs, and otherwise). and some just heal all over time.

-but if u have mental health issues and especially if u felt cured of em, maybe tei is best anyways.

-for rite now. carnivore makes me not so scared despite being down alot but i am learning . there is paper trading tho and using one dollar to establish dirn. and not leaving any posns overnite (closed a minus 90 percent, while all the memes i say are up the ones i am in and was in but sold for fixing leverage positions. are up 80-100 percent in days, from the bottom and also from where i got in in some cases like rawr xd, and where i shd have gotten in agn. that would be 16k from 1600, for sure.. 4800 it was, sell put in rawr 9600. agn 19800 and pop cat and shyt.. 25k, 30k.. and lev trades do em rite. fk. anyways.


-sensation cd be btter too. and some guys need more e2, some need more dht/5ar, some need more total t and androgens but e is needed, and higher total androgens hurt em. i am fit but ya i was super fit and ideal for hormonal intervention. when ripped and strong af, you can do things. when less lean, aromatize more and works less well. also not blv u need fuck all when super fit but clearly it is harder to mtn forever. only school and law and living downtown id lift ev day a lot of issues are cuz of trading i mean.. i had 45k cad more like a couple weeks ago and 7-8k usd more. and i lost opps on way way more. but i aint sell all of that. still have safe money invested and i will come back.
however it shd still be 6.5 7/10. maybe 200mg but i am seeing if 250 makes noticable different. sex drive ability to go a few x is decent but ya i mean fertility / larger testes needed agn, TEI would.

--for sure dex is good for me and can help me get on traxk, carnivore is decent, if not long term for me it will help me transition to tei and or other diets.
--and test enanthate may be hit and miss or bad for me or good. i am not sure.
--i am sure* prop (increases 5ar and dht more and is in and out of your system) and that cream is even better for similar reasons and no ester and helps anxiety and depression remarkably well for many people (not necessariliy me).
--i want to give that a fair shot, with carnivore. It helps dht and 5ar increase , when taken transdermally. I will get my rx changed.
--can help a lot... test cream. and if it is an option and helps me after 3-4 weeks or whenever. than sick. i hope 10-14 days or 5 days or 2 days. but i will see natural biological test and dht, more so than any injection. ymmv.
--and if i have that option in the future that will be good for my mental wellbeing/state. if it sucks/ then maybe i still can in the future to enhance/ when i am heathier again. BUT* I still have TEI. And then I will do it.
--I want depression, anxiety, mood, confidence better and workout a little and call doctor and change that other shyt. get really good again, drive more.. and make funds and really truly succeed. O/W it sucks but mature student
--for me and do it in a good state and do really well there and just spot trade. I am sure I can trade well and better. I protect capital, almost never get liquidated but need to change dirn when It isn't going well, and need to learn more TA. I guess the instant rush and needing to do law and study made me ignore my frd that wanted to help me learn more TA and also i was price axn obsessed and wanted it quicker but i know it comes, when it comes. like women... they come into your life, you need to be vulnerable, good health (i had near perfect health and looked beyond cured and like a fitness person to a high degree, fitter than 90-95% of ppl anxiety, stuff fixed but i needed to finish fix some goals like get into law school, but trading took over my life, and then not knowing how to fix health, made me make bad decisions like get the vax reluctantly but never again. and i think tei can fix future problems and current ones. but if hormones can be a great stilt, with carnivore or carnivore can cure autism, mood, and depression, and help all, then great. i am thinking tei is much better. i hope it is 6mo-1yr and not 2 yrs not detoxing 5 yrs.
--detoxing back then(if that is what tei is basically) and continuing, id be set for life and awesome, set as in career, relnships, great group of frds. impaired health hurt me a lot and i wasn't gonna let it ever agn. but if i can only be 90% cured and i mean of everything, just taking dex and minerals or vitamins a day and eating well and exercising and working hard and having fun, that's cool too. I am perfectionistic and it can really hurt me. don't be all or nothing.

--carnivore and test cream and dex (load with test enanthate)
--or carnivore and tei. or just tei and cooked veg.
-surely tired on all this, and na/k ratio not good and i really hope no lows, highs, bad pattern (never had em when tested 2-3 x but that was yrs ago and after major health interventions, including fasting daily, major water fast, cd's most of it, and lots of hackstasis stuff.
--tei if this doesn't help thing is 1 week of test any form isn't enuff. nor is 3-4 days of carnivore. i went 6mo not thinking id recover after i started to, after a year nearly of hell. so getting 60-80-90% ihealth or 50-80 shouldn't be too terrible. mental is a lot and energy and strength to do things. carnivore does help that but ya give it more time -- 2.06pm 8.06.2024.

--all imbalances are a bit different or a lot at times . even in one person/ dif chemistries with dif supplements/diets/ illnesses at dif times in life.
--but way to health shares strong similarities, u can narrow it down with oxidation type.
--sorry to quote ppl not here, this helps me think and like it is like writing a paper. outlining.. and narrowing info down. It is ADHD/ Autism shyt. I used to write 20 pages for papers in junior high.
--and like worse and worse but narrowed down on dex, and coke in uni and especially later in mid and later 20s but it caused problems for sure. I was reading at a uni level in grade 3 or 4 but verbose as fuck.
--difference in cognition --> ADHD.



Helen:
I am not talking about PTSD. we are talking about PSSD. post SSRI syndrome.


people mix saw palmetto with PFS, with PSSD with PTSD.

those are all different.


My fault,
Missed that . I thought this was thread was about PTSD. Read it too fast


Helen:

I am not talking about PTSD. we are talking about PSSD. post SSRI syndrome.

people mix saw palmetto with PFS, with PSSD with PTSD.

those are all different.

saw palmetto inhibits aromatase along with 5AR and all other cholesterol enzymes.


this is why when you look at saw palmetto people, they look similar on hairtests, most of them are high iron and manganese

Walker:
Can confirm, like I told you, saw palmetto made my estrogen non-existent in my PFS state as confirmed by blood tests. Estrogen plays a huge part in saw palmetto induced-PFS.

Also can confirm PTSD gives crazy anxiety. In my early years with it, just being surprised by a friend in public would make me have a full blown panic attack.

I used to do Drama in grade school, I was the funniest kid around for many schools... in hi school, uni too but became so serious.. but still funny esp in good health.
maybe acting/ youtube. and other shyt is easier with shyness/autism/social anxiety gone. and just being ripped and good looking helps that a lot but ya still awkward and such. overthinking no good. meditate.

maybe can only be true artist meant to be with TEI. but u can use that artistic side and hard work to kill it in small firm law, or whatever and provide for your fam and quit and retire from crypto and stocks, early... so u can stay healthy and travel and have fun.

didn't want to travel, meet folks, till cured near cured end of 2018 then 2020 2021 til in law school. but crypto and health issues got in the way. i will go there later if i want to but ya girls love ambitous side. and you cannot be who u are meant to be with a dangerous crippling addiction. maybe kill it in trades and then get to other work... or learn cybersec/ infosec. i honestly believe i am only good at some reative things and the old school professions. like medicine, law... i don't think i can code. engineering, etc, i'd probably die. i'd hate it but i am sure real estate, this and that i'd do well eventually but yeah.

trading and law... are good for ppl like me. and yet ppl like me quit law as soon as they can. there's a big difference in your own small firm or working for someone in their decent sized or small firm vs bay street or wall street or HK big partner firm law (which I am smart enough to do, but realistically never would, because why fuck up my health to do paper work for ppl?? and i am shy).

I'd rather work in a city with nice ppl, work 70-80hrs and make half as much, and pay 3x less, and make 8x more in trades/investments. self-sovereignty.

Trading firm.... 2-3 ppl, maybe 20. for a huge bank or ibank? nah. AND yeah realistically if crypto doesn't pan out, gotta go do law. and possibly both. health first tho. i am sure 4-5 weeks i'd do well on the lsat.

the problem is being indian or chinese you are over represented so they often times don't want u now, with wokeness. only trans, certain race, lesbians. really retarded. but good interviews and a strong lsat would help that. oh work experience? cat coins, phemex, bybit, liquidations, fixing a terrible illness, small stuff at a bank, and law office many yrs ago, otherwise school.

yeah trading's gotta work out, that or law. and luckily in good shape i look young cuz i am behind. ppl thought i was 22-23 at 27-29 and 25-26 at 32 33 which is nice but gets kind of annoying when u have less life exp than ppl younger than u. but i will try my best and focus on what i can control, and leave the other things out of my mind. meditate more. get any addiction under control. hope things are well with ev1. keep going. optimize above and beyond things.


maybe with hella money and time, I could do some fucking 2 year law school or some online shyt but LOL gotta go to a real law school. they are up 60x in cost since 70s in states, maybe more now...
they have no incentive to make it 2 yrs which it can be. only a few accredited schools. if u are rich and get into an online american accredited school cool, but only in hawaii and for that market. and it makes no sense, as i am canadian. go to a good school here, they nearly all are good. don't pay 500k usd there, and no debt. but scholarship would be nice but really young or rite at 31 32 more likely.

they made the test easier and easier, and i'm so fucked i was better at the harder test, because it was MORE focused on LR than LG, logical reasoning vs logic games. but whatever i'm sure practicing i'd do well.

My cousin got into harvard, we are related thru his dad (on mom's side) and his mom (on dad's side), and my brother got the highest mcat in the world among many exams. my lil cousin too, a heart doctor.

embarrassing finishing undergrad and masters courses to replace gpa in late 20's. embarrassing to start law school in mid late 30's when could have at 31. that is why i hate crypto. but ya i will try getting better at trading, regardless. LOTS is ADHD and school being terrible for us... and lots was PSSD. and then pfs, but i fixed it all, and needed to stay optmized.

if that means test cream, dex, fuck it. good diet, exercise nice. mood, anxiety, focus, all good... then amazing.

if that means tei then fine but i can't spend 1-2mo sick or detoxing.. and i can't spend ten yrs healing. could have had 200 dates and been married 2x-3x in that time (kinda joking, you only want one marriage ideally), but you know what i mean. and set up a great practice in that time. lockdown made us more isolated. it destroyed lots with autism, aspergers, adhd. let alone addiction, bipolar, lyme/cfs, pfs, pssd. etc.

for what?

  1. RE: THE BODY ATOMIC:

  2. Oxidation rate. A termed by George Watson, PhD. I recommend his book, Nutrition & Your Mind, where he first mentions it.

  3. Most people are either in fast or slow oxidation. Many nutrients either slow down or speed up the oxidation rate, including fats & proteins.

  4. A slow oxidizer needs more carbohydrates, less fats. Fast oxidizer needs more fats, less carbohydrates.
  5. The Body Atomic
  6. @BodyAtomic000
  7. ·
  8. Jan 6
  9. Many of us can feel it out. If you tolerate both carbs & fats well, you’re either fairly balanced, or really unbalanced (at which point you probably have a lot of health issues that are more or less overt).

  10. If you can determine this yourself, it’s a helpful start.

  11. I will write a thread at some point going deeper on the physiology of oxidation, the many ideas around it as well as specific nutrients that speed it up or slow it down.

  12. 2. Mineral density, balance & availability.

  13. It’s no secret that due to questionable soil management, the food worldwide is far less mineral dense than it was even 100 years ago.

  14. But we must make due.

  15. First off, vegetables.

  16. Now, before the carnivores go ape on me - I was one of you for almost 8 years. I started a few years before it blew up & Peterson, Baker or Saladino ever publicly said a word about it.

  17. I know all about the anti nootrientz.

  18. First off, they need to be well cooked. Really well cooked. Ideally at least 20 minutes of steaming, ideally 30-40. A pressure cooker is best - only 2-2.5 minutes of cooking does it.

  19. We’re breaking down the cellulose that all the minerals are trapped in to make them available.
  20. The Body Atomic

  21. If you still can’t tolerate them, you’re either 1. So darn toxic your stomach &/or guts are still in tatters & all inflamed. Probably due to poor mineral balance/hidden metal toxicity.

  22. Or 2. So darn toxic, a little bit of minerals are already making you eliminate metals.

  23. Don’t take it personally, we’re all toxic here. The world is.

  24. So, based on Dr Eck’s decades of work & experimentation, here are the best veg:

  25. Roots: carrots, all types of onions including leeks, scallions & shallots, daikon, rutabaga.

  26. Cruciferous: red & savoy cabbage, broccolini (better than broccoli), brussel sprouts, cauliflower.

  27. String beans are great. Other vegetables are fine, but not as good.

  28. Might sound like a lot, but if you can get 6-9 cups in, if you tolerate it, of veg a day, that’s great.


  29. The Body Atomic

  30. Keto/carnivore - fast oxidizers.
  31. Peaters - slow oxidizers.
  32. Anti-vitamin A crowd - liver issues, usually iron overload.
  33. Vegans - low zinc, stomach acid issues, etc..

  34. There are deeper reasons why we are attracted to & see results with different approaches…
  35. 4:18 PM · Jul 25, 2024
  36. ·

  37. ·
  38. Jul 25
  39. There are many other examples for this. This isn’t bashing any of these approaches.

  40. They legitimately do help balance out different types of imbalances, some more effectively or sustainably than others depending on the individual case and conditions…

  41. Jul 25
  42. If you understand how all of these approaches work, why they work in some cases & not others, then SEE the biochemistry play out repeatedly on lab tests (interpreted correctly) it becomes clear that there is a Body Atomic
  43. @BodyAtomic000
  44. Jul 25
  45. They are not at odds.

  46. They fit together, & understanding the bigger picture allows us to go deeper in terms of healing than any of them allow for alone…
  47. Jul 25
  48. To adapt to individual cases & get to the bottom of why we may have had to gravitate to one of these paths in the first place.
  49. Always seek what is more fundamental.

  50. It will inevitably put the details & complexities into their proper context.

  51. Understanding the mineral matrix allows us to see the playing field from that ten thousand foot perspective few others do
  • @Helios_Movement
  • Stop megadosing isolated vitamins/minerals and expecting to not face side effects.

  • All nutrients work synergistically.

  • -Thiamine and magnesium.
  • -B6 and B2.
  • -Zinc and copper.
  • -Retinol and B2.
  • -Vitamin D and retinol.
  • -Vitamin K and retinol.
  • -Potassium and sodium.

Thought you guys might find it interesting.

From Wendy Myers at liveto110.com and mineralpower.com
I collected this info from this podcast:

Ca / P: The metabolic rate. How fast you create enzymes, digest food, etc. Higher than 2.6 makes you a slow oxidiser, under 2.6 makes you a fast oxidiser. Phosphorus is about protein usage - eating enoug? good sources? lack of hcl? too much exercise? not enough Zn?
Na / K: Overall vitality ratio. Most important ratio. Higher than 2.4 indicates feeling less energy, lower than 2.4 indicates feeling more energy. Na is a rough indication of Aldosterone ,release - pro-inflammatory. K is a rough indication of Cortisol release, anti-inflammatory.
Ca / K: Thyroid ratio. Higher than 4.2 = hypothyroid, Lower = Hyper.
Zn / Cu: Hormone levels in the body. Zn levels roughly correlates with Progesterone effect in women, testosterone effect in men. Cu levels roughly correlates with Estrogen effect in both sexes. Lower than 8 indicates more copper (and estrogen), higher than 8 indicates more zinc (progesterone / testerone).
Na / Mg: Adrenal Ratio. Lower than 4 goes towards burn-out, higher than 4 goes towards overactive adrenals.
Ca / Mg: Cardio vascular health. Lower than 7 indicates not enough carbs (rare) and higher than 7 can indicate too many carbs (more common).
Fe / Cu: Infection ratio. Lower than 0.5 indicates propensity towards bacterial infections, higher than 1.2 indicates propensity towards viral infections.

From Dr. Garret Smiths podcast at:

Ca / P: "Digestion Ratio" stomach and above. Too high and you feel like red meat sits like a rock, low stomach acid, bloated. Etc.

Na / K: Stress Ratio / Vitality Ratio
Na / Mg: Adrenal ratio
*If 1 or both are high, too much stress. Hard to relax.
If 1 high, 1 low people are "tired but wired".
If both high --> you're burning the candle at both ends.

Ca / K: Thyroid Ratio: The function. How well thyroid hormones are doing their job (where as blood tests just see if the thyroid hormones are being produced). People will noticed the biggest changes in feelings from this ratio changing. Can take awhile to fix. Too high is usually due to too much calcium, which can also be from too much vitamin D supplementation.
When this ratio is improved often thyroid symptoms clear up.

Zn / Cu: He doesn't think this ratio is useful. People can have hidden copper. He thinks better to get these individual levels right.

Ca / Mg: Blood sugar control. Calcification. Addiction tendency.
If its high = hypoglycemia, aka bad blood sugar control, you probably crave salts at every meal. You probably feel like falling asleep and crashing after lunch. (this is me!!! and my Ca / Mg is off the charts 19.33 when ideally its 7).
Too low can mean diabetic.

Fe / Cu: Infections. Same as Wendy basically. low ratio = fungal infection, high ratio = viral infection.


--CRNV IS WACK IF IT CURES ME AND DOESn'T BALANCE ME FIX OTHER DETOX STUFF LIKE AUTISM. AND WHATEVER. BUT MANy DID IT yRS N YRS. I KNOW AND SAW LIGHT OF TEI...
but many here didn't stay on it and keep.

-life feels over. i hate trading.. and i need to do my doctorate a while ago.. to --> it is ok, if the medicine works good if not fine. i will try something else. lithium orotate is good for sure.
--weed was cooler, in coffee, vaped, smoked with tobacco, and sprays but that and dex and mental health issues anyways may be dangerous. i mean when trading and being stressed over world burning and not having the rite words / courage to tell ppl what was wrong with me, what i fixed, then had to try and fix again (even if only a few issues),... it was hard.

-if tei fixes all o health and what the rest cannot. meds, lith orotate (barely used in 2018, 2020.. and 2019 here and there. mere days, prolly shd have been more often). if it can fix adhd and mood disorder/ autism then cool. even tho it may not sound sexy, like hormones/hrt, stimulant... orthomolecular medicine may be the way to go.

i will continue carnivore but also none of these things will keep u superhuman forever (maybe they will with rigorous diet and exercise and a new relnship you marry)... but even then and kids and a pet,, you will have harsher days but that is why u make sure u are financially set for life, then do more imporant goals, or have at least some enough to chase higher goals despite the stress.

-coffee/caffeine and all the compounds in it might be a trash drug. with weed.. sick. with dex.. sick.
-test e may be trash.
-maybe try carnivore and lith orotate only... or tei and lith orotate only. sounds religious and i went thru a lot to get better. MAYBE as natural as possible and only use stims for hard academic tasks and
-hard work and gym. but wtf...most didn't have to be saintly forever.. to cure all else... IDK tho.

- i will try dex as needed and lith orotate as needed on tei. and some days no dex... but if lith orotate doesn't help life structure, i will need some dex on TEI.
--carnivore and hrt and still working on health and some losses in trading and major gains and percents kinda ruined but coming back.. made me really down.

mycotoxins... and stuff from coffee. maybe just have see how u do with no coffee. and... bone broth i did a lot in 2018 2019 2020 but not instead of coffee. . get it with no canola no veg oil or make it urself.
and tei. detox. 6mo-1 yr ulll be super healthy agn.. if it fucks ur life up and u can't treat ADHD, treat it and take lith orotate a bit on it.

if u can eat more often and the differences for TEI, for oxi 1, then do it.

--12-13 lb less. and 12-13 more i will be ripped.
--need to workout more, that is with test a week. carnivore maybe 7-8 days straight. less wc use.
--no coffee yday. some dex 20mg . some coffee 10mg dex today.
--probably/ possibly test on friday. enanthate.

--i could have taken over my uncle's law office or used crypto to start my own... and got a house. but instead i trade and invested less and fkd up a cycle and a bit. and traded instead of school so there's that.
--luckily i am usually a machine and tho it hurts and sucks to finish school at 27 or so when most your friends did at 22-23 and finish final school at mid late 30's.., i mean. if i want i will still be good looking so.

live a long time marry a 28-30 yr old she can have kids. if i get sick at 50 55 60 or have money and god i hope not, but if i go mental like kanye. i will make sure future spouse is taken care of. LOL
I am daydreaming like a pisces but still. I had hella offers but ya if you are stupid autistic u might go out with 4 or 5 girls a yr and ignore 25 others that might be better for u. also u kind of need money and education and aother stuff in life. had ev going for me. really sucks to still have health issues, but im trying. i was ignoring and sad for a time. now i am not seeing anyone but if i get healthier i will more. and i will adopt a pet too. and i really handicap myself here, but i always lived downtown (i had to in toronto. my brother only ever lived downtown too, my cousin also.).

i just want to be rich and walk and use uber but ... when i get healthy as a horse again, i will practice driving again. i really don't like it. i got my license right before effexor xr and i don't know that made me scared to drive... ever agn but realistically, it is easy as fuck, especially with ADHD treated. I know I am kind of a loser... ppl drive at 15 or 10. But, I mean I lived downtown 21-31+ except one yr at home. now i am home / house for a bit. as a lawyer or a trader (ideally both eventually but who knows, maybe lose the trading and just do law), you can just get driven, but yeah i'd be poor initially. in fact i am way poorer than 2020 2021 or like 2 weeks ago for that matter... but not forever. won't give away btc.

closed a 110 percent yday, 17 percent here, 46 percent there all lev trades, letting those 2 go but avging down my short on solana (which is insane but only 2x thankfully). don't short the rockstar breakout of the cycle. it's memes>>>> most alts. i am doing well in sui but need to make more bags of sui, ai coins a couple, and my fav memes: SC, Popcat, Retardio, Rawrxd (even just for pumps and getting out of that one), and Lock In, maybe Aura/Sigma/ possibly Giga.

Girls still like me at 22-25 percent bodyfat or whatever the hell I was.. but yeah if I am not functional/ glued to screen, trade addicted, .. it isn't really that useful.

I am happier at 14-17 and pretty fucking happy and efficient at 10-12 percent. LOOK huge under 8-10 percent. Only pretty bad depression made me go up. I am sure I will be relatively lean in 3-4 weeks.
What matters is how I feel about me. And yeah if I make decent money but this is destroying my life, then fuck it... mature student in something you are good at and like.. and leaving a failed or non healthy/ non good for you business, is best.

13lbs or so in a week carnivore. lifting hard it'd be 20lb and I'd be ripped again or near it. I am going slow tho bc of stress of trying dif meds and coming up to TEI eventually. Their testing stuff isn't in the mail... but even supps with DHL took 16 days last time. So, mail order tests I guess 3 weeks despite paying them 450 or so.

I paid my dues, I lost 70lbs 20 yrs ago as a kid and have been ripped most of a couple decades. So mature muscle is there. AM I better with spinach, rice, meat.. some fucking takeout and exericising hard, and some dex everyday and some coffee (can lose coffee I guess if that turns out to be my best metabolism). And walking and some sprints...

OR much of that and just carnivore?

I am leaning towards option A. I will get healthy and slowly but surely make killer gains in market stuff. And some things explode. KEEP EM. Keep leverage separate from spot and from memes. 3x and 6 x could be 6x and 12x... just in a couple mo. that is good with barely any help. lev trading,.. ya u aren't doubling or tripling in a mo... unless u have insane self control (and I mostly do). It is far too dopamine spiking.

I will make back a lot there tho O/W fuck it, spend time learning more TA and keep in memes and spot.
Dust myself off and try again.
I think ppl use carnivore for PFS, autism... etc.

AND mineral balancing for either. SO ... both are options, and tei seems better. Day one felt better. month 2 3 4 better and better. I am improving on carnivore a bit but IDK if it will make stable mood and erase depression. LONG water fasting, and building a life worth living did that for a long time. I will keep trying, and it will push me towards the right direction. I mean ppl said just use TEI back then... but yeah, same answer now. SO may as well soon.

Even if chemistry changes, who cares/ it will be different supplements and number of capsules... then. Or exactly the same. Maybe you can use it as a replacement program so it fixes anything you do. BUt yeah lets avoid trauma and damage.

RE: MIneral Balancing:

Brezinski Nutrition. Nice info.He is a practioner, he uses ARL it seems. I have TEI tests ordered but, in case I feel that it isn't good to use. It makes sense, it is a lot longer of a snapshot of a person's health than say a blood test is.

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA) Test​

Uncover mineral imbalances, learn which foods and nutrients you need the most, and address the cause of your health problems with a non-invasive hair test.​

Get Your Kit

Test from Home​

Using our at-home HTMA test kit, you can start from anywhere in the United States or Canada.

Proper Lab Procedure​

BEWARE: For accuracy and reliability, hair samples must be processed at a laboratory that does not wash the hair sample.

9+ Years Experience​

HTMA is a complex test to interpret. I've reviewed over 1,000 hair tests and can help you understand what it all means.

What is Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis?​

Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA for short) is a laboratory test for 20 minerals and toxic metals in your hair. The balance of minerals in your hair can tell you about your adrenal and thyroid function, metabolic type, stress patterns, immune system, and much more. Most importantly, hair analysis can help determine which vitamins and minerals you need to rebalance your body chemistry and restore energy production—the key to healing most health issues.
Hair analysis is unlike other tests because it provides insight at the cellular level, which is where most chemical reactions occur. This is why hair analysis often reveals significant imbalances even when other tests are normal.

7 Benefits of doing a hair analysis with an experienced practitioner:​

1

Uncover biochemical imbalances that are causing fatigue and other health issues.
Many people struggle to find a cause of their health problems, even after visiting several doctors. But if you're not feeling well, there's a reason. And many times, hair analysis can explain why. For example, hair analysis can reveal heavy metal toxicity, mineral deficiencies, metabolic imbalances, dietary issues, hormonal imbalances, and much more. Read the section "What Can Hair Analysis Tell You About Your Health" to learn more.
2

Take nutritional supplements with precision and accuracy.
Sifting through the array of health claims, marketing hype, and conflicting expert advice about nutrition is confusing and time-consuming. With hair analysis, you’ll have a nutrition program that’s customized for your unique needs. You’ll know exactly what supplements to take and how much to take. No more guessing, and no more trying to figure it out on your own. Hair analysis is the only scientific system for choosing nutritional supplements that's designed for optimal health.
3

Avoid wasting money on supplements that are inappropriate for your body chemistry.
Instead of jumping on the latest supplement trend, hair analysis gives you a look under the hood to assess your biochemistry BEFORE you start spending money on supplements. With hair analysis, you can start taking supplements that you actually need.
4

Avoid creating imbalances that make your health worse.
Taking random vitamins and supplements without any data from your body can easily create imbalances that disturb your sleep, lower your energy, make you more emotional, and cause other health problems. With hair analysis, you can be confident you are taking your health in the right direction.
5

Heal chronic health issues that haven't responded to other therapies.
When you give your body the right nutrients, in the right amounts for your specific needs, your body simply functions better. Your brain function improves. Your energy improves. Your appearance improves. Health problems begin to clear up on their own, without having to focus on them.
6

Monitor your progress and track results.
When taking supplements, it is hard to tell if they are working at a deeper level. With hair analysis, you’ll have benchmarks and guidelines that show you that you are improving. You’ll be able to track changes in your body chemistry and monitor your progress. Plus, we can adjust your program periodically as your body chemistry changes.
7

Support your body during stressful times.
New stress factors in your life can cause shifts in your body chemistry that leave you feeling anxious and out of balance. With hair analysis, we can recommend specific foods and supplements to help you reduce the stress response and restore balance during stressful life phases.

What Can Hair Analysis Tell You About Your Health?​

IMPORTANT: All information in this article depends on a properly performed hair analysis. The hair must be tested at a reputable laboratory that does not wash the hair sample at the lab, and the test results must be interpreted using metabolic typing and the stress theory of disease.

When interpreted properly, hair analysis can answer the following questions:​

  • Are you lacking minerals that are needed to produce energy? Minerals such as magnesium, selenium, manganese, copper, zinc, and others are required in critical steps of the body’s energy cycles. Hair analysis can reveal low mineral levels years before they show up on other tests.
  • Are toxic metals causing fatigue and other health problems? Toxic metals such as mercury, lead, arsenic, aluminum, and others interfere with thousands of enzyme reactions, many of which have to do with energy production. Toxic metals go under the radar because blood tests are not good at detecting them. However, everyone today has high levels of toxic metals in their bodies due to contamination of the food, air, and water. Although no test can detect the total amount of toxic metals in the body, hair analysis is known as a reliable test for assessing toxic metal status.
  • WHY are your hormone levels low? Many people learn that their fatigue, cold intolerance, weight gain, and other symptoms are due to low hormone levels. But instead of looking for a cause, most doctors prescribe daily hormone replacement medication to manage the problem. Meanwhile, hair analysis can reveal several underlying causes of low hormones, including copper and mercury toxicity, and low levels of selenium, zinc, and chromium.
  • Thyroid hormone resistance. Even when hormone levels are normal, many people still suffer from fatigue and other signs of hypothyroidism. This is because other factors can prevent hormones from being utilized within the cells. Hair analysis can show you if your hormones are reaching the cells and having the desired effect.
  • Adrenal burnout or insufficiency. Adrenal insufficiency refers to the inadequate production of adrenal hormones (aldosterone, cortisol, etc.). When adrenal hormone production is low, chronic fatigue and exhaustion are common. Since the adrenal hormones have powerful effects on your mineral levels, hair analysis can assess the adrenal glands from several angles. It one of the more reliable tests for assessing the adrenal glands.
  • Why fatigue does not respond to iron supplementation. Many cases of anemia have nothing to do with iron deficiency. For example, without bioavailable copper, iron is not incorporated into hemoglobin. In this case, iron supplementation is a bad idea and can make your health worse. Hair analysis can identify several biochemical imbalances associated with anemia, including copper imbalance, lead toxicity, and cadmium toxicity.
  • How is stress affecting your health? Excessive stress from stimulant use, fast-paced lifestyles, worry, lack of rest, nutritional depletion, and other factors activates the sympathetic nervous system, also known as the fight-or-flight response. Excessive stimulation of the sympathetic nervous system prevents adequate regeneration of the body and eventually leads to burnout. Hair analysis can show you if you’re stuck in fight-or-flight, and the impact it is having on your health.
  • What vitamins and minerals do you need to rebalance and heal? Each person has unique nutritional needs depending on their metabolic type, mineral balance, and other factors. Hair analysis and mineral balancing is the most scientific and efficient way to determine which foods and supplements you need the most.

Hair analysis can also answer the following:​

  • Are you a Fast or Slow Oxidizer? (Critical for determining your nutritional needs.)
  • How much fat should you include in your diet? (Fast oxidizers need more fats.)
  • Are you eating the wrong foods for your metabolic type?
  • Is it safe to become pregnant?
  • Are you using toxic personal care products, such as aluminum-containing anti-perspirants?
  • Occupational Exposure to Heavy Metals: Is your job making you sick?
  • Your Stage of Stress: Are you in the exhaustion stage?
  • Are you exceeding your carbohydrate tolerance (eating too many carbohydrates)?
hair analysis review - rachel

“I used to think I knew so much about nutrition prior to hair analysis…”​

I visited multiple practitioners for help with my symptoms, but no one gave me any clear answers. My aunt told me about hair analysis, and I decided to do it with Brian because it appeared to be an inexpensive way to get a whole-body picture of what was going on.
The hair analysis revealed I was a fast oxidizer—someone who converts food into energy at a faster pace than normal. This helped me understand why I often felt so hungry minutes after eating a meal. It also revealed that most of my minerals were on the low side and explained that my adrenal and thyroid glands were overactive due to high stress levels.
For someone who’s struggled with finding the right diet and supplements for the past two or three years, I was relieved to finally have a nutrition and supplement plan that was customized to my own needs.

About Your HTMA Practitioner​

My Experience with Hair Analysis​

Destructive habits in my teens and 20’s left me feeling exhausted by the time I graduated college. I tried one dead-end remedy after another until I did a hair mineral analysis.
My hair analysis revealed that mercury and copper toxicity were draining my energy and causing havoc with my nervous system (nervousness, anxiety etc.). It also revealed that the constant stress had depleted my adrenal glands and caused a zinc and magnesium deficiency.
On a nutritional balancing program, my energy gradually returned, and I was able to give up coffee and start playing basketball again. I also became more grounded and confident.
Today, I offer hair analysis and individualized mineral balancing programs to clients across the United States, helping them resolve a wide-range of physical and mental health complaints that doctors have no answer for.
I am always excited to share test results with clients because it is often eye-opening and life-changing—especially for those who have struggled to find answers to their health problems.

Hair Analysis vs. Blood Analysis​

How is Hair Analysis Different from Other Tests?​

Blood and urine tests provide important information about a person’s biochemical status, but they only evaluate the fluids of the body.

Hair analysis is unique because it is a soft-tissue biopsy.

A biopsy is an analysis of a body tissue—a very different compartment than the blood. Biopsies provide information directly at the cellular level, which is where energy production and most other biochemical reactions occur.

The cells, not the blood, is where the magic happens.​

Blood tests may show acceptable levels of minerals, hormones, and other nutrients, but what matters most is what is reaching your cells!

Longer-term reading

Another key difference between blood and hair testing is the time period measured. Blood tests measure what is in the blood at that exact moment. They are subject to fluctuations depending on the food you ate last, emotional activity, the time of day, and many other factors. Hair testing is not subject to these variations. Instead, hair analysis provides the average mineral levels over three to four months, making it very useful for detecting chronic imbalances
Wood-Tree-Growth-Rings-Texture-768x510.jpg.webp

Just as rings of a tree can provide information about the climate and condition of the soil years before it was cut, a hair sample provides a tremendous amount of information about the conditions of the body during the previous 3-4 months.

Video Recording vs. Photograph​

I like to think of hair analysis as a video recording and blood testing as a photograph. The examples below demonstrate key differences between testing for minerals in blood versus hair.

Example 1: Mineral Deficiencies​

When calcium levels drop in the blood, the body rapidly responds by taking calcium from your bones and releasing it into the blood. This is why you can have osteoporosis (demineralization of the bone) and at the same time have a normal blood calcium level. The bones (tissues) are essentially robbed of minerals to protect the blood levels. This allows the body to deliver essential minerals to where they are needed most.

Hair analysis is an early warning system.​

Since hair is a non-essential tissue, deficiencies show up much sooner in the hair than the blood.

Example 2: Toxic Metals​

When you are exposed to toxic metals such as lead, mercury, arsenic, and others, the body removes them from the blood as quickly as possible. They are moved to locations where they can be stored or eliminated—including your hair. Toxic metals tend to only show up in the blood soon after exposure. Hair analysis can reveal past exposures to toxic metals that are missed by blood tests.

Why Don't Doctors Use Hair Analysis?​

One of the main reasons doctors don’t use hair analysis is because hair analysis is based on a different paradigm than conventional medicine. Let me explain.
Conventional medicine is based on a diagnose-and-treat paradigm. Medical doctors are trained to identify or diagnose a recognized disease and then to use a specified remedy to treat the disease. It is a disease-centered system. The treatments used by medical doctors are mainly drugs and surgery, which of course do nothing for the underlying cause.
Hair analysis and mineral balancing, in contrast, is a health-centered system. The goal is to improve a person’s health, not manage their disease. This involves rebuilding and balancing body chemistry.
If doctors were to use hair analysis, they would have to learn an entirely new and complex system. If they started using hair analysis, most of their drugs and surgery would become obsolete.
Of course, this will never happen because the pharmaceutical industry controls medical education and the medical licensing boards. There is an enormous financial interest in preserving the drug-based and disease-based medical system. Even natural doctors rely heavily on the diagnose-and-treat model, although their treatments and remedies are usually less toxic than conventional medicine.
"There is now a considerable body of literature on the use of hair in forensic science, in the diagnosis of disease states, and in the assessment of nutritional status."
Stevens, B. J.
Determination of Aluminum, Copper, and Zinc in Human Hair. Atomic Spectroscopy 1983; 4:45

Why Do Hair Analysis with Me?​

The success of hair analysis depends on the proper interpretation of the test.​

If the test is not interpreted properly, the corrective program will not be effective.
Most practitioners who offer hair analysis use the test solely to detect toxic metals or mineral deficiencies. Then they may suggest taking a supplement of whichever mineral is low. This approach is called replacement therapy.

But improving mineral balance is not as simple as replacing minerals that appear deficient.​

Minerals interact with each other in complex ways. Supplementing with one mineral affects the balance of all the other minerals. The failure of replacement therapy is one reason some professionals have a negative view of hair analysis.

In the 1970s and 1980s, Dr. Paul Eck pioneered a completely different way to interpret and utilize a hair mineral analysis.​

He found that in order to improve the balance of minerals, one must work with the body’s mineral system.

al wheel demonstrates the complex ways in which minerals interact with each other.
Over the course of 25 years, he developed the principles of mineral balancing science—a system for restoring optimal mineral balance and improving the body’s energy production.
This approach involves using the test as a whole-system analysis, rather than viewing each mineral level as an individual test. This is the key to using hair analysis effectively.
WARNING: There are very few doctors or nutritionists who are trained in this system. Although I am not a doctor, I’ve been using hair analysis since 2015 and I review hundreds of hair tests each year. Other types of hair analysis offered on Amazon such as 5Strands and Doctor’s Data are not the same!

I was hesitant to have a hair sample cut from my scalp, but I was also eager to learn what hair analysis would tell me about my health.​

When I got my hair analysis results back, I was shocked by some of the results. I learned that my adrenal glands were really suffering. I feel good about my health, so I was not suspecting how much I needed to improve.

The test also revealed a few things that I had already suspected: my liver was doing poor job at eliminating toxins and therefore I had some copper and heavy metal build-up. I also assumed that not every mineral level would be perfect, but I had no idea which were out of balance until I received my results.
I’ve done lots of tests but nothing compares to the amount of insight that I received from my hair analysis. It was amazing to see exactly what was going on in my body, as opposed to “shooting in the dark.”
I really enjoyed my consultation with Brian to review my test results. I had many questions, and Brian thoughtfully answered them all. I love that Brian’s approach addresses you as a whole, instead of just treating symptoms.

How Much Does Hair Analysis Cost?​

Hair testing is relatively inexpensive. Most of the cost of doing a hair analysis comes from working with a practitioner. An experienced practitioner will interpret the test for you and design a nutrition program for you based on your test results. I offer three options for getting started with hair analysis:
HTMA Only—$109
HTMA Lite—$299
HTMA Premium—$499

Feeling blessed and happy.

Brian – I’ve been taking the supplements two times a day now. I haven’t worked up to three times a day yet nor have I completely switched over to the diet, but I’m getting there in baby steps. I have been very pleased with the physiological changes thus far: both my hypoglycemia and insomnia have stopped. I’m able to fall asleep and stay asleep all night without taking any sedatives.

I am good, off thyroid meds for 5 months now. A lab result about 6 weeks ago showed T3 and T4 in upper normal range, but TSH was low indicating that there could be still some stimulation by the immune system. My endocrinologist stated that whatever I'm doing I should continue with it. :>).

Update 7/2022:
Two subsequent blood tests revealed normal level of thyroid hormones including TSH. It appears that my Grave's disease is resolved. I feel good! Just need to lose some weight.

I've noticed a shift the past few days. Prior to this past Saturday I was experiencing insomnia, wired & tired, very active mind, and low appetite. Since Saturday I've felt more tired and slept most of the weekend. My mind is calm and appetite has greatly increased. I'm happy to be sleeping so well. I've still been alert at work past couple days except for wanting to nap after lunch.

In the past few weeks, I have turned a corner with my gut imbalance, and my ability to tolerate certain foods (wheat, sugar) has significantly increased. The severe urogenital pain I have had upon eating foods with these ingredients since 2009 has virtually disappeared. My blood is now a deep, rich color as opposed to being a weak, bright color as it was in 2015 around the time my hair started thinning and breaking off.

I’ve noticed a positive chance since I began the program! My stomach isn’t insanely bloated anymore! Even though I’m thin, my stomach always stuck out and made me look pregnant. It’s back to being flat again, at least most of the time. I’ve tried so much stuff in the past to help with my bloating, but nothing made a difference, so this is pretty big news for me.

For some reason, I'm finding it hard to get in 8-9 hours of sleep after work. This might sound cheesy, but I feel so excited about life in general, so optimistic about the things I might learn, or contemplate, or do in life. All this AFTER working a strenuous ten hour shift with 5 hours of sleep. This is a pretty consistent pattern, too. Only a few weeks ago, I used to be limp as a fish after work was over.

I'm so so excited to finally have direction and some answers. I have had times where I felt like I was dying. I shouldn't feel this way when I am active, eat mostly organic, etc. but it's because my body is still so full of toxins.

I have tried so much stuff to sleep. I have taken valerian root, melatonin, Benadryl, other over the counter sleep aids, magnesium, even c pap machine and THC gummies. They all made me feel worse.

I got the report from the analysis and started making changes that were recommended and I noticed about a week into the first few supplements and making the start of dietary changes that I was sleeping consistently every night without help. Falling into a good quality sleep and staying there. Waking up by myself with out the alarm clock and feeling refreshed. This alone was worth every penny. I really do appreciate the changes so far. And I am just getting started.

Do I need a hair analysis?​

Anyone who wants to function their best should consider doing a hair analysis to assess their body chemistry and see where they are out of balance. Your test results are like a personal roadmap that can be used to optimize your mineral balance and support your body’s self-healing ability.
Those who need a hair analysis the most include:
  • Anyone with unexplained or mysterious health issues.
  • Anyone who wants to take nutritional supplements.
  • Women with fertility issues.
  • Women who want to assess their health before becoming pregnant.

--it is a nice little pamphlet. yay.
--nice copying and pasting worked here from his site to hackstasis nice. this is nice info and yeah I like minerals better than hormones and it will work better. I won't need coffee or maybe even dex... and maybe no mood lability and I won't need (tho it isn't that bad) any lithium orotate. Maybe it will fix me again and I can be happy and really healthy again. I will try soon.
--I think lots is metals and not even "only" toxic metals. Even normal metals can block your enzymes and hormone receptors.

--My normal friends (I am way stronger than all. And could literally survive psychological and physical torture) better than them. I can't get them to fast or stop eating crap to get rid of asthma. Or to lean from 18-19 percent to ten percent, so I don't think I can easily get them to get hair tests... but if I could things would be easier. Girls you can, some. The very cute health obsessed ones. Only because I am handsome. If I was a typical person in any way (typical lawyer, finance, or ethnic or whatever)... yeah no way. Luckily I am charming and strong and can lose fat *like that* and maintain muscle and put it on fast.

Unluckily I can lose definition and also gain fat. I will become a T-1000 again. People were very confused, enthralled, enchanted by me. And always were. Some people think I am a stuffed animal because of masking of emotions. Sometimes there is hair in my eyes and I don't brush it away and it hurts.

I need stims to remain emotionally numb. I shall try more test and carnivore. BUT If I feel like not taking the test and losing coffee... and then losing dex (barely using fuck all but Yeah I think I am happiest without anything... so, maybe I gotta do that longer). I hope that TEI is easier after carnvore for a while. I mess up 1x a week or less but soon 0-1x a month. It is hard being perfect.

I am only a human organism.

I was born a baby person and over time I became a man and a mammal.

I had some rice bread and yogurt, and feta... and honey, and some chola yesterday. hurt my stomach. was pure and losing 2-3lb a day. People think I'm jacked cuz I am but I will be ripped af again. Being muscular but a bit chiubby/ less definition is like being an out of work wrestler. It is not as good as being a lean and mean robotic, and highly erotic mannequinesque human mammal organism.

I will not mess up and will only have meat fat salt and mostly all red meat. Lamb, Beef, and some Proscutto. I will buy pig belly and slice him up to make bacon (or close to it, I will see videos).

It is good and satisfying, carnivore but no hot sauce, no mayo, no I don't even love it that much but no ketchup. No fucking garlic mayo, hot sauce, olive oil??? It is hard. It won't be soon.

Maybe 90 d of that and minerals, I will be able to eat cow live, like those ppl do with octopuses. I wouldn't though because that is animal abuse.

Someone asked me when will I go hunting?? I says when I adopt a cat, I will go hunting some cows on the ranch with my cat.
