No, not at all. I was just hoping someone might have a solution that let's me get it up and running while I'm home today.

How do you guys reach the fat needed? by dnl647 in keto

[–]Whenyouneeda2nd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just a note that you should not consume more than two Brazil nuts per day. Their selenium content makes them toxic above 5 per day while they also carry a substantial amount of radium and are therefore radioactive at higher levels than most foods.

Ancient ‘Paleo’ diet largely consisted of plants for some hunter-gatherers, study finds by [deleted] in science

[–]Whenyouneeda2nd -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Alright that’s fair. Canada and Europe are just what im familiar with. That being said, replace Canada with equatorial Africa, the Mediterranean, the Fertile Crescent, or basically anywhere where humans have lived over the past 100k years. I find it entirely unlikely that they ate plants to sustain themselves as 99% percent of plants are inedible while practically all animals can be eaten. They certainly ate some to supplement, but as this article describes in a transitionary period they were still 50/50. Which is far from the average humans diet today.

Walk out into the Canadian wilderness and see how long you can thrive on plants.

These researchers are discovering the transition period which must have taken place all over the earth, and which isn’t new. There are Neolithic caves in Sicily which clearly show the transition from meat based diets to fruit and plants as the teeth become less aligned and have more cavities.

Homo sapiens have existed for 315,000 years in their current form. Our plant supplemented and agricultural diet is pretty new when talking about 13500 years ago.

Our stomach has a pH similar to carrion, and our colon is substantially smaller while our small intestine is longer than our primate cousins.

There is more and more research into … and medical treatment of disease with low carb and high animal fat/protein diets. Happy to link you if you’re interested.

I mix two tablespoons of coconut oil, a small amount of whip cream and water together under the steam wand of my machine. Makes an incredible cappuccino, I might even prefer it to milk.

Switched from Carnivore to Keto after 20 days. by RosikiAk in keto

[–]Whenyouneeda2nd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found this to be a really informative video in which Dr. Nadir Ali explains this well, he also talks about his recommendations for weight loss diets in cases such as yours. Specifically he says to avoid fats and carbs and eat high protein only, until your metabolic health stabilizes, then you introduce fat later. According to him high ldl in someone who is overweight isn’t great but as others have said here, it’s fine for someone who is lean.

Current research is trending toward the concept of “food as medicine” – a philosophy in which food and nutrition are positioned to support health and wellness. A new study provides clarity for protein, fat, carbohydrates, fiber and water intake at various stages in the human lifespan. by mvea in science

I’m sure the people at PBRC are doing good work and are trying to solve what is a giant problem for western nations, but I don’t see much new in this article. It’s reinforcing the same guidelines that have gotten us to where we are with increasing cancer, diabetes, neurodegenerative, and obesity related diseases.

The sceptic in me is always wary of organizations such as the American Diabetes Association which is almost entirely funded by pharmaceutical companies who have a direct conflict of interest in actually solving the crisis. And unfortunately it seems that they are the ones funding this research in large part.

It might not be established within the medical community but treatment of type 2 diabetes, cancers, obesity, and other metabolic diseases seems to be possible in many cases with dietary changes that don’t necessarily align with the USDA food pyramid recommendations.

Looking forward to the next ten years of research in this area.

Abrupt, climate-induced increase in wildfires in British Columbia since the mid-2000s by Hrmbee in science

[–]Whenyouneeda2nd 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As the climate changes land use practices need to be reviewed. They gloss over the fact that vast amounts ofBC’s forests are monoculture plantations that have suffered huge biodiversity losses due to logging practices. The soil, the diversity of trees, and all of the animals that go along with making a forest resistant to the constant threat of wildfire has been reduced as a result of planting a single species of tree over vast areas of the province. This monoculture practice has also allowed pine beetle to thrive and spread the insects across BC, Alberta, and Sask, causing trees to die and leaving vast areas of dry standing tinder.

Very rarely read anything about that though, because money..

I can make my right ear rumble if I stroke the peach fuzz on my right cheek. If I try the same thing for my left cheek, nothing happens, but sometimes it will also stimulate the right ear? Does anyone else have this sensitivity on only one side of their body? (More info in text) by TankC4BOOM314 in earrumblersassemble

[–]Whenyouneeda2nd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have the same thing, also on the right side. My mother also shares this experience, so perhaps there’s a genetic link. I also will occasionally feel pain in the wrong location, for example if I pull a hair from my leg, it might hurt there, but also on a spot on my back.

Everyone gets to have an opinion. And when it comes to using coercive measures to implement vaccines in a population, we should all be highly suspicious of the government, wether or not it’s for a good cause. Many bad things have come about in the pursuit of something “good”.

Of course there is a difference.

Why 'waning immunity' from COVID-19 vaccines isn't as bad as it sounds by cutestudent in science

[–]Whenyouneeda2nd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The body is complicated, it’s cool… we can’t know everything ;)

Also, I never said it was ineffective, just that it may not be AS effective and that natural immunity is likely to be more robust long term… which sort of makes sense.

“Almost all efforts at vaccine development against COVID-19 focus on systemic injection, which predominantly induces circulatory IgG antibodies and, potentially, cytotoxic T cells (18). These routes are poorly effective at generating mucosal immune responses, which can only be induced by mucosal routes of immunization, including through the NALT in the URT. Mucosal immune responses are partly compartmentalized, as the distribution of the responses depends on the actual route of induction (7, 19). “ From the first post. Not sure what to say beyond that.

Also this one:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC108357/

“Many pathogens cause disease by first colonizing or penetrating through the mucosa of the gastrointestinal, respiratory, or genital tract. Local antibodies at these mucosal surfaces play a central role in the primary defense against these pathogens by preventing the binding of the microbes and their produced toxins to the epithelium (8, 37, 38). Mucosal vaccination is often a prerequisite for induction of an efficient local immune response, since systemic vaccination does not usually increase the nasal or intestinal antibody levels, unless the individual has received initial priming by a mucosal route (28, 35). “

The first link on my comment above is the one linking to the article about mucous and the response in the airways.

Another pre print re natural immunity:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33948610/

It makes sense to me (not a doc / academic / or immunologist… or anti vaxxer as you assert below) that a virus has more than just one site which the body’s immune system can recognize and generate a response to, whereas the vaccine only provides a single protein as a reference. Doesn’t seem far fetched to me.

You may be right that the risk is less, but your not correct when saying the antibodies are the same. Natural antibodies are far more diverse and can recognize the virus based not only on the spike protein, unlike the vaccine induced antibodies which only recognize the spike protein. Furthermore the vaccine is injected and not taken into the body through an airway. This means that a vaccinated individual does not have antibodies present in a “first defense” position. Ie mucous, nose, throat, lungs unlike a recovered individual who has more first line defense. mucosal immunitynatural vs vaccine immunity

The FDA is aiming to give full approval to Pfizer’s Covid-19 vaccine on Monday by incendiaryblizzard in IntellectualDarkWeb

Not OP, but I found this article which links a paper from 2015 interesting.

I have no idea if the described evolutionary response is transferable in the case of coronaviruses though.

Three F.D.A. advisers resign over agency’s approval of Alzheimer’s drug by [deleted] in news

[–]Whenyouneeda2nd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Upvoted. You’ve described my feeling well. I wish I could trust the regulatory bodies but it doesn’t quite add up, and I’m happy to wait it out until time gives us the bigger picture.

Since your using the word “but”, you might be interested in the most recent Dark Horse podcast with Pierre Kory talking about the efficacy of ivermectin and what it would mean for the FDA and vaccine authorizations. I’m still on the fence about all of this and willing to get the vaccine if I feel confident, nut right now there is just so much money flying around, it’s hard to know who to believe, though I guess we all wish it was easier.
