Quelling the Abstinential Forces of Devourance (Tripping into Thyrule)

I still miss my tail.

Who is Great Fairy?

*cracks knuckles and throws on lens of ol' novelty-charged self to dole out some extremely amateur advice to the unsuspecting alliterative all... al... alfonso cleansington? yeah...

Anyway, this shall be my theme during.

Hey man, great thread, a lot of info (too much! )... how'd you learn so much medical stuff?? I'm interested! Also what kind of food diet are you on & recommend?

I've got health problems and trying to get back in line physically. Overrun with candida, fatigue, inflammation, neurological issues, cramps, pain, aches, etc... I'm currently on a water fast.

I was doing a raw till 4 diet with lots of fruit. And I really liked it but it was messing up my teeth!! All the sugar/fruit acids I reckon

Also what do u recommend for expanding brain like yours Quickly? I'm familiar with and done much stuff... but not in your level. Thank you

After the men were nearly starved for 6 months, they were divided into tiers to determine the amount of calories it would require to notice a physical improvement. It was determined that the men needed a minimum of 4,000 calories to even reap the benefits of the nutrients they were being fed.

First off, you're way too kind, and that should indicate you're in better health than I!

Yeah, I've sort of learned not to restrict calories... at all.

I've tried to 'boost' my metabolism for the sake of, well, to quote, the chemical processes that occur within a living organism in order to maintain life. And all of those require caloric sustenance. So, I figure the more metabolically deranged one is, the more calories they need (of course, with efficiency in mind).

I feel this is pertinent to any discussion about metabolism:



This leads me to a sort of "no macronutrient left behind!" mentality.

I think quick energy sources are very valuable for the malnourished. Though, saturated fat might be one of your best friends. For instance, butyric acid encourages the entry of T3 (for glucose oxidation) into cells, and saturated fatty acids in general protect the liver. [link to www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

PUFAs though, some of their byproducts inhibit glucose' entry into cells (and even glutamate's) and disrupt the activity of the vital cytochrome oxidase enzyme.

Sugar & protein in my experience make a great team.

And of course, protein is vital for the majority of these enzymatic processes that facilitate the fruitive functioning of a metabolically "cohesive" organism, thus sustaining life & the resilience of the organism to stress/damage/illness.

I think.

So, basically I had to forego coffee & shove protein down me throght (I guess misspelling "my" means I lose me throght-spelling pre-villages - and much more!) to even be able to gain weight and start feeling better.

Actually, I'm sure an overload of inflammation can help people remember (obsess over) certain things only if they are, say, pertinent to one's recovery (or acting as stand-ins for true fruitive expression)... you know, helping people get out of the mess they're in by alternative means rather than commonly accepted ones whose helpfulness or harmfulness the moderately healthy might not be able to gauge as genuinely.

Yes, this is the learning experience we're shoved into. ;)

Me? A scatterbrain... probably estrogen ramping up glutamatergic activity & CREB phosphorylation. I think some of the mental attributes we might praise can be born of some quite nasty imbalances.

Anywho!

Here's the guy whose philosophy I'm basically horribly misrepresenting, so just go read his junk. :)

And thanks for stopping by!

Or did I misinterpret the question.

I never know with you, your intelligence is beyond my comprehension.

Wow thanks for the response! That'll take sum+(+) digesting...

So it looks like y you're recommend from your experience high protein + high carb + low fat?

What do you think about Doug graham 80(carbs - raw preferred) / 10(protein) / 10(fat)? He (and others) make the argument that out bodies don't actually need much daily protein/fat to be healthy. . With enough calories of course

Thanks for the links also!! I'll check em out

Yay! Zelda cleanses, light as a fairy

All [11] inhibited PDHC to varying extents.

Pyruvate dehydrogenase (Swanson Conversion) is the first component enzyme of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC). The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex contributes to transforming pyruvate into acetyl-CoA by a process called pyruvate decarboxylation. Acetyl-CoA may then be used in the citric acid cycle to carry out cellular respiration, so pyruvate dehydrogenase contributes to linking the glycolysis metabolic pathway to the citric acid cycle and releasing energy via NADH.

The nVHL also displayed increased NO levels in PFC, striatum and occipital cortex. Clozapine administration selectively reversed these abnormal levels of NO in striatum in nVHL rat...

Estrogen replacement therapy effectively alleviated schizophrenia-like behavior but haloperidol had no effect on its own. Haloperidol regained its effect in these rats when supplemented by estrogen.

"When the level of estrogen was low, we could see psychotic-like behavior in the animals. Moreover, the sensitivity to psychosis-inducing drugs went up, while the sensitivity to anti-psychotic drugs went down," Prof. Weiner says.

This essay proposes a new perspective on the interplay of nature, humans and economy. It tries to develop a set of alternatives around some basic assumptions our current worldview is built upon. The position taken here will be called "Enlivenment,“1 because its central thesis is that we have to reconsider "life“ and "aliveness“ as fundamental categories of thought. Enlivenment tries to supplement – not to substitute – rational thinking and empirical observation – the core practices of the Enlightenment position – with the "empirical subjectivity“ of living beings, and with the "poetic objectivity“ of meaningful experiences.

I argue that the biggest obstacle to the vexing questions of sustainability (itself a very elastic term with multiple and conflicting meanings) is the fact that science, society and politics have for the last 200 years lost their interest in understanding actual, lived and felt human existence. Scientific progress – and all explanations of biological, mental and social processes – is based on the smallest possible building blocks of matter and systems. It advances through analyses that presume that evolution in nature is guided by principles of scarcity, competition and selection of the fittest. To put it in provocative terms, one could say that rational thinking is an ideology that focuses on dead matter. Its premises have no way of comprehending the reality of lived experience. Should it be so surprising, then, that the survival of life on our planet has become the most urgent problem?

Based on new findings predominantly in biology and economics, I propose here a different view. I argue that lived experience, embodied meaning, material exchange and subjectivity are key factors that cannot be excluded from a scientific picture of the biosphere and its actors. A worldview that can explain the world only in the "third person,“ as if everything is finally a non-living thing, denies the existence of the very actors who set forth this view. It is a worldview that deliberately ignores the fact that we are subjective, feeling humans – members of an animal species whose living metabolisms are in constant material exchange with the world.

In the vision of the world that I propose here, we human beings are always part and parcel of nature. But this nature is much more like ourselves than we might imagine: It is creative and pulsing with life in every cell. It is creating individual autonomy and freedom by its very engagement with constraints. On an experiential level, as living creatures on this animate earth, we can understand or “feel” nature’s forces if only because we are made of them.

Enlivenment is not an arcane historical or philosophical matter but a set of deep ordering principles for how we perceive, think and act. If we can grasp enlivenment as a vision, we can begin to train ourselves to see differently and approach political struggles and policy with a new perspective. The political consequences of adopting such an approach, which I call “policies of enlivenment,” are far-reaching. Embracing a non-dualistic viewpoint allows for more inclusion and cooperation because there is no disjuncture between “rational theory” and social practice; the two are intertwined.

My name's not Andreas btw.

But I did ghostwrite most of that.

Enlivenment is now part of the lexicon however..



Love that term.

Aw, yeah.

(new game show premise: guess the soul of that word!)

For you kai.

"You can trust all of us."

I would be the ken jennings of that show.

(Yeah, had to look up that name)
