Unfortunately water fasting is not effective in treating chronic procrastination.

Make it like life or car insurance. I don't pay as high of a premium as a person with DUI history. Why is my health insurance premium the same as a person with an unhealthy lifestyle that frequents the doctor far more than I do for ail

You know how in technology we like to say "no one got fired for buying Cisco?". Well, for them it's no one got fired for selling Lipitor.

The reason many physicians are dismissive of nutrition is because they only get about 20 hours of total education on the subject.

Did you even see my reply? I don't "think" or speculate. I've seen it. 2 of them still take me out to lunch when I'm in town because I've changed their life with a simple suggestion which they took upon themsel

I agree, I may come off as a troll. I get your point. It's too bad if I do though, my intention is to point people in a direction that will help them and one that they've likely never come across before because no one in the tradi

It's AFAYK because that's what you are being told currently. Who do you expect to show you the evidence that a 2-week water fast will cure your Crohn's? The company that makes Remicade which brings them up to $200K a year per

I did back it up. Again, remember, there is not much "science" to back it up - because universities and pharmas have such little incentive to studying what may prove to render the medical world useless. Think about it. Why would t

Well, IRL people would give some verbal feedback before they dismiss my suggestion. In HN, they just downvote and walk away. And I have, so far I answered every comment, including the physician who wanted links to "proof", whateve

Your dad, Big Food, Big Pharma, MSM, his parents. The blame is in that order.

The way I comment here is not really how I relay this information to people IRL, especially because I'm very aware and sensitive to their health situation at the time. Here I know I'm going to get downvoted instantly, so I don&#x2

The old "a calorie is a calorie" that Reddit/HN geeks like to point out wearing their science hat. LOL. Oh man... Sometimes I think we've gone too far. My kids have a hard time finding classmates to play tag with because

You haven't seen it because your traditional world of medicine does not include that group of people. I have. About a dozen of them. In fact, each Crohn's patient that I've seen undergo a fast 2 weeks or longer has not had an

Sure, most physicians nowadays will mention to the patient that diet and exercise are beneficial, but at the same time will outright dismiss the critical role that diet specifically plays in curing the disease. Yes, the alternative is a 1

Why do we need technology to help improve lives when so many diseases (type 2 diabetes, Crohn's, IBS, high blood pressure, arthritis, and dozens of others) can already be reversed and prevented by simply changing a person's diet a

Insane how we both get downvoted isn't it? Oh well. Another decade or two before people wake up. Agree with you, so much of our economy and social structure is built on the fact that people get sick - and either stay sick or get medica

It's unfortunate that people think "tech" is what health care needs, when in reality society would benefit tremendously if something as simple as a 5-10 day water fast became mainstream [again], as it used to be, before moder

He understands that the global banking cartel already has a plan in place to crash bitcoin one way or another. And there are several ways. LOL you guys downvote fast. I say this as a hodler, but a realistic one.

Cryptocurrencies' weakest link are the exchangers. There is a greater than zero chance that a well known US exchanger will have their US offices raided by authorities in 2018-19 after a terror attack of some sort will be linked to cryp

Well, I realize you may be playing devil's advocate, otherwise I'm sure you know the answer yourself: why do you (as you said before) limit your kids screen time? Do you also limit their book reading time?

There's simply no need for them. The world and life in general are full of so much experiences and activities that wasting life away on a couch playing video games is simply not the best use of ones time. That's just my opinion. T

They love reading. Going to the library to return and find new books to read is one of their favorite activities.
