I’ll get into details with links to studies in another post or perhaps in a free ebook that I’ll post a link to. Each one of these affects all of the others. If one is mismanaged, the others will compensate. The body is resilient and there’s is no need to obsess over these. However, if either is mismanaged too much for too long, the others will eventually fail to compensate which will result in “diseases” such as COVIDs/flus, arthritis, Alzheimer’s, diabetes, literally every chronic illness. In such cases, it is absolutely important to (with minimal stress) obsess over all of these.
These are The Five Things:
-
Stage IV REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, the deep and restorative phase of sleep.
-
Inputs. This includes what you eat and don’t eat including chemical residues. It also includes regular and proper fasting and everything you inhale and absorb through your skin—almost all “skincare” and bathing products are poisonous—and mucous membranes like your eyes and in your mouth. Of course, this includes all drugs including pills and injections. Almost all of the food in the grocery store is poisonous. The only healthy food comes from organically managed farms, pasture-raised/grass-fed livestock, the wilderness, and the ocean. The healthy food you eat should be as raw as possible. Most seed oils, even organically produced ones, are poisonous when ingested especially after high temp cooking (like deep frying) but some are beneficial internally and topically. Fruit oils such as olive oil and avocado oil are best for cooking, if you must cook. If you must eat grains, they should be whole, organically grown, and sprouted.
-
Radiation. Direct sunlight exposure is critical for proper immune function. This is technically an input but so very important on its own. Microwaves, X-rays, and gamma rays are harmful. Some radio waves can be harmful, too. So is some nuclear radiation.
-
Stress. While long-term stress causes immunodeficiency and thus “diseases”, short-term stress can be protective as it prepares us to deal with challenges, mitigating long term stress.
-
High intensity interval training and/or strength training. It should hurt (but not injure) and you should push through it. No pain, no gain.
That’s it. As mentioned, I’ll go into detail with citations and links (or perhaps a free ebook) on a future date.
There is a sort of “prerequisite” that greatly enhances healing and disease prevention primarily via stress mitigation but also by providing a sense of purpose or meaning which causes one to thrive maximally:
Be your spirit conscience and not your flesh.

Now go and do the things.
Edit: Thanks for sticky, mods! Thou art gods. :)
Also, minor edit for clarity on seed oils (much more detail to follow) and added emphasis regarding the body’s resilience.
Edit 2: Wow the shillbots (with alts?) with random/obvious bot names are out in full force! Notice they offer nothing in their pseudo-rebuttals? Still, all feedback is greatly appreciated! As mentioned, I’ll provide much greater detail including links to rigorous scientific studies in a future post.
Lately, I’ve been feeling kind of hopeless about the food part. Over the past couple years, I’ve learned about the toxins in our food, water, air, shampoo, lotion, etc. it feels like no matter what you try to do, you’re being poisoned. I hate it. Groceries already cost so much, I don’t think I can afford organic. And I’ve read the organic from the store is still poison. Normie friends are always going on about how they’re drinking more water “to be healthy” and in the back of my mind, I’m rolling my eyes. I can’t do a garden bc I live in an apartment. I just don’t know what to do other than trying to find a good farmer around here. It shouldn’t be THIS hard, and it makes me angry
I feel the same, I try to make the best choices possible, eating more produce, Whole Foods, avoiding processed foods as much as I can, for all the effort I’ve put in the past few years or so, I can honestly say I’ve seen little to no difference of managing my fatigue levels, hormone imbalances or immunity issues. Honestly I believe it’s all to some degree poisoned in some way, all of it. Perhaps maybe this why Jesus instructs us to ask God the father to bless our food before we eat. Because it takes and honest to God miracle to eat anything good and healthy these days.
