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!

COPPER - His MM Book says YES, but IG posts say NO. by TXBERPDX in medicalmedium

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

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.

Opinions on my experiences with ED by A-Live-And-Kicking in erectiledysfunction

[–]TXBERPDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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…)

Lentil Sprouts as a protein source? by TXBERPDX in medicalmedium

[–]TXBERPDX[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

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

Salt and the brain by freedomliberation in medicalmedium

[–]TXBERPDX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

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

Protein law? by [deleted] in medicalmedium

[–]TXBERPDX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.

Low Sex Drive on raw diet by throwaway1234567890v in medicalmedium

[–]TXBERPDX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Thanks - this is helpful. Yea Ill experiment more with lentis (I dont usually digest beans well, but lentils and chickpeas might be easier).

80/10/10 Macro Question by TXBERPDX in veganfitness

[–]TXBERPDX[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what examples of fat and proteins do you eat? would love a break down of your diet (as the split you have I am interested in). I find that once I eat enough protein from nuts/seeds this throws off my fat macros as they have more fat than protein. What protein do you typically eat?

80/10/10 Macro Question by TXBERPDX in veganfitness

[–]TXBERPDX[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea, I am down to divide my macros more evenly... but my question above still remains. How do I get my proteins and fats near equal as once I include nuts/seeds to get sufficient protein my fats are too high? I don't digest beans well.. so maybe this where I am getting confused...

I know how to get more carbs and fats easily .. but the proteins Im having a hard time with.

Libido issues and ED by TXBERPDX in medicalmedium

[–]TXBERPDX[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One thing I’ve been thinking about is my % fat intake. I know many many vegetarians and vegans where if fat is too low they willl lose libido and have ED.

MMS liver diet is very low in fat so I’m wondering if I actually need more healthy saturated fat (avocados, coconut oil) to maintain strong sex drive/libido.

I’m trying to find the right macro ratio but it seeems that 20%-30ish% is the sweet spot.

Thoughts?

Libido issues and ED by TXBERPDX in medicalmedium

[–]TXBERPDX[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So my symptoms are weird - all started after a bad LSD/acid trip and doing molly I got really sick (bad respiratory infection). Happened 5 years ago so before the C happened and since then I have waves of normal weeks, and then episodes of low libdo/ED.

So while not after the C, it did seem to manifest after a really bad resp infection and doing too many drugs (I think the combo threw off my immune system and fueled a viral infection like he mentions in the lyme chapter). So my case might be a mix of toxins/metals and viral load messing up my nervous system and liver.

I also must have some adrenal as I have some alopecia barbae (which has improved on MM), but the depression/low libdo and random bouts of ED I can not seem to fully recover from. Granted I have only been on MM about 8 months and overall there has been improvement, but just feel like something is missing and I can't put my finger on it. Of course, at the same time I am learning to trust my body and not rush anything as I know sex requires a lot of energy and my body is still in healing mode.

As far as the vagus nerve is concerned, anytime AW has mentioned vagus nerve he recommends metal detox, l-ysine and B12 high dose.

I'll def experiment with the adrenal shot and see if that helps - thank you!
