I have a disease called leaky gut and I have to stick to strict diet otherwise ill experience inflammation all over my skin. I have not been doing this. I've been eating pleasurable, indulgent foods and it's hard to stop.
However, I want to change and I want to do it for you guys. As silly as this sounds, I feel like this movement merits me to make sacrifices. People fighting for our nation are making sacrifices, so I should be able to make sacrifices too.
This is gonna be hard, but I'm going to stop eating the pleasurable foods I shouldn't eat for the rest of this month. Wish me luck.
Very very intrigued by this theory and it would be the next progression in my understanding of human health and nutrition. Would love if you could point me in the direction of some further research or lectures to watch/listen to. Thanks.
A guy like Dr Jack Kruse really puts everything together. Look up his vermont talks on youtube or any interview/podcast with him. Happy to further help along after that. Those talks gives a really good overview over many of the concepts. It's simple, but it's really complex at the same time. Took me a very short time to grok - but has taken me a very long time to fully understand and put together the pieces (still at it by the way).
edit: I've lost track of how many people I've interacted with first hand who's improved tremendously and reversed diseases with the above info. Info that is by the way 1) free, and 2) free to carry out. No programs to buy, no supplements to buy, etc. Reconnecting with nature is free. (albeit quality living might not be cheap). That's essentially it. Also close family members have turned themselves around - myself included.
/u/rooftoptendie how did you go with this?
Awesome, I'll check it out. Thanks so much!
Because I enjoy this stuff, I'll do a quick recap of what actionable "to do" (which the why's are explained later, when you start to dig.) Just to give you a head start. All these have exact reasons as to why. It's not just random stuff.
Eliminate all artificial lights at night. use candles instead. Or incandescent lights and limit their use. Use blue blockers after sunset. Cover up your skin from artificial light at night. See every single sunrise. See as many sunsets as possible. open a window as much as possible, not just for fresh air but for that ray of un-polarised sunlight that has all the spectrum of light. Eliminate all/most EMF from your local environment (cell masts, smartmeter, wifi, magnetic fields, electrical fields, cordless phones, alarm systems, mobile phones, ground all appliances, your car, smart-watch, etc. etc.) list is long for here to improve. Otherwise inverse square law is your friend (more distance the x'2 less exposure.) Get as much sunlight as possible during the day. Never ever wear sunglasses or contacts outside. Also remove glasses outside if you wear them. Sun in eyes with nothing in between. Sun on skin as much as possible. NEVER wear sunscreen. Ever. Get your Vitamin D levels as high as possible through sun-exposure. Link between all disease and mortality and vitaminD levels. Eat low deuterium foods (i.e. avoid lab-made crap-stuff, hydrogenated oils, seed oils, candy stuff, many "health supplements" etc.). Eat as much seafood as possible (DHA, omega 3). Do cold therapy (winter bathing, cold showers, cold swims/dunks, especially if you are genetically from higher latitude). Ground as much as possible (bare-feet in dirt). Travel to the sun as much as possible, especially in winter times if you live up north. Drink good water (low deuterium water) from higher latitude than you live, or local. Never drink flouridated/chlorinated water. Eat only seasonal and local foods. use Red Light Therapy. Surround yourself with good people. Not energy vampires, etc. Remove those from your life.
Thank you for the thorough reply patriot. I love reading this because I started sungazing a week ago and got red lense light blockers for in the evening. Red bulbs for lamps around the house at night too. Wife thinks I'm crazy but I think I'm on to something here. I'll have to research more into red light therapy. ... I saw how expensive the lights were and didn't bother reading further into it. I also started wim hof breathing and cold exposure a month ago..I recommend that as well.
It's not crazy, at all. When you get the birds eye - it ALL falls into place. Like a big heureka, aha moment.
Blue light ruins melatonin release at night and unopposed blue light also ruins your eye and your dopamine production. (Melatonin is needed for autophagy and apoptosis - the control programs for your cells. If they don't work = disease, cancer etc.). Melatonin is made in the daylight by sunshine - just like vitamin d is synthesised by certain frequencies of light - then not all, but a lot of melatonin is produced that way too.
The thing with sunshine is that it's NOT unopposed specific frequencies. It's a spectrum with high entropy. There's ALWAYS red light in sunlight, so bluelight is never existing without red light in nature. Same with UV light. It's never existing without red or blue light in nature. (when I say never, it's not true - because cells release low frequencies of UV light for example..) But for the sake of the argument about sensible light exposure.
Red light therapy can ALSO just be lots of am sunlight. That's where you have most red in the sun compared to other times of the day. If gadgets - you can get cheaper panels, that aren't full sizes. Just don't skimp on quality, otherwise the sun is the better option. Always.
Wim Hof breathing is an issue. Not the cold, but the breathing is an issue because of the Bohr Effect and hypocapnia. So it seems good in the short term, but ends up not being good in the long term. Wim's strength is not his breathing but his cold exposure. (and his ability to access his nervous system). On the other hand the breathing is a hack to get to more cold exposure faster which is brilliant.. So ONLY use it for more cold exposure and not just on its own, if that makes sense. Use it as a vehicle to get places. Not just for a scenic drive.
Enjoyed the read again, thank you.
I'll do more research on the wim hof. I found out about tummo breathing today, which seems like another way to go about the wim HOF to get yourself exposed to the cold. A month into it and I think it's more about the cold than the breathing. But like you said, the breathing is a hack to handle the cold.
I hope others have read your posts and go down this rabbit hole. You definitely dropped some knowledge here and people should integrate these things into their lives.
