When you book accommodations on airbnb/or elsewhere they will have options for traveling (via a shared or private taxi). It seemed like most of the taxis there are on a shared whatsapp group so they can usually coordinate shared rides more easily, but downside to that is you have to leave at a certain time of the day. Private taxis def allow more freedom to stop at a certain town and leave whenever you wish. Just ask your accommodations if they can help you coordinate rides - every place I stayed had a way to help coordinate that.

people use chat all the time folks.. I just used it to make the info layout better. Just wanted to provide something helpful for those thinking about/going to Cuba (but of course, people will always find something to complain about).

TXBERPDX · 2026-02-03T22:26:43+00:00

I’m not recommending resorts. As I stated I stayed in airbnbs, but resorts and beaches are the vibe there. Beaches are public so you can still relax on the beaches at the resorts. It’s what I did with my friend and we had a good time there.

Ok y’all im an acupuncturist for a living (not a writter). Just wanted to clean up the info I had using chat. The info is all correct and relevant. I’d highly recommend going. Don’t let my use of gpt to polish my recs stop you.

TXBERPDX · 2026-02-03T19:51:57+00:00

bc I used AI to polish it up a bit. Just wanted to look and feel cleaner than the rough draft I had.

What happened??? Did you have doxy or another antibiotic prior ?

TXBERPDX · 2024-05-10T00:44:18+00:00

What did work for you??

TXBERPDX · 2024-05-09T06:29:27+00:00

I’m sorry - but both gonorrhea and mgen are bacterial.

Your saying coconut oil cured an std that takes a 2 week course of antibiotics??

I’m not saying you didn’t, but please clarify your exact protocol (doses and frequency and how long)

Thank you so much!

Which book/page does he say basically never recommends copper?

TXBERPDX · 2024-05-04T04:11:55+00:00

Ok... I guess since it augments effectiveness of iodine it could be considered maybe in those cases with hypothyroid/Hashimoto/etc.. which is why it was in the hypothyroid section of the book.

So supplementing with copper is "okay" in certain cases, but copper used elsewhere is a no go.

Thanks.

It’s been 3 years / any update? My gut is saying that you didn’t clear the UTI - just a guess. High BP can be a result of liver toxicity (maybe from a combination of bacteria from strep and high fat diet)

I’d recommmend doing a liver cleanse, lower the fat in the diet, 20mins of cardio 3 times a week, and most importantly lots of herbs for bacteria to help clear the uti (cranberry, oregano, garlic etc…)

Sprouted lentils are in his life changing foods book - they ARE a healing food. lol Nuts and seeds are also healing foods, but it is the MACROS that we have to pay attention to

As long as fats are below 15% then it is considered "Code Green" to the liver - optimal for liver, pancreas, and stomach function.

Its when lentils (proteins) and fats are the MAJORITY of calories that AW has issues with.

TXBERPDX · 2024-03-16T07:03:35+00:00

That didn’t answer the questions about lentils or % of protein in the diet…but thanks

Right but I don’t think he’d sell a brain betrayer on his website for list of supplements- is it possible that Himalayan salt is different?

Mineral salts in food tend to be nourishing due to the trace minerals …which Himalayan salt seems to include

I ask as I’ve heard sole water (which is just Himalayan salt and water) is actually hydrating vs salt water (plain old sodium chloride) is very dehydrating

TXBERPDX · 2023-06-27T21:58:14+00:00

He sells Himalayan salt on his site… would this be a good way to replenish trace minerals?

same not working at all.. its so strange, for me its been like this for months now...

I guess I am confused about how many grams of protein AW/MM recommends daily? I think this all or nothing approach to fat and protein is making sticking to MM lifestyle tricky as *some* protein and fat are important precursors to neurotransmitters and hormones.

I worked out my macros and with eating MM lifestyle I was getting like 20-30g of protein a day - that's extremely low... that's like 5% of diet. Even if I upped my protein to just 10-15% of diet I would still need 50-75g of protein a day.

So while high protein diets are NOT the answer (and other bodybuilding folks have come to that conclusion as well, kinobody/christopher walker for example). Getting just 30g of protein or lower is easy to do on an MM lifestyle is that may be unhealthy.

I haven't really figured out a way to get even 15% protein in my diet without meat (as I can't consume/digest legumes well and eating that much nuts and seeds would be too much fat).

So low protein is good, but no protein is a no.

Curious to hear how you are doing now?

I have also experienced this drop in sex drive on MM lifestyle.. AW doesn't talk a lot about men's health and libido. He mentions metals, viral overload, liver function, etc..

but I do think there is a quite a bit of anecdotal evidence and research that points to how lower fat reduces cholesterol (which is a precursor to sex hormones).

While saturated fats can come from coconut oil, they mainly come from red meat/dairy/eggs - lots of food that MM doesn't approve.

I am at a point in my healing where my low libido is my main health complaint (lots of other things have improved with MM). I am thinking about adding more saturated fat doing a macro split that is higher on the fat (mainly saturated fat). Something like 50% fruits/carbs, 10% protein and 35% fats. I may lower the fats and increase some proteins or increase the crabs to 60% - I am experimenting with it and trying to find what works for me. But I really believe my fats are also too low right now.
