It is used. Very very successfully. And you are being incredibly naive thinking that governments and big corporations want people to actually get cured of their diseases for good within 30 days. Also one of the absolute best things a diabet

I don't care, I said it tongue in cheek to illustrate how close minded many HNers are when it comes to health and how to improve one's own health without reliance on pharmaceuticals and other "modern medicine" inventions

Why is that unfortunate? What would clicking a downvote button achieve? I appreciate that instead you are taking the time to make a comment. To your point, life (and by extension, us humans) is simpler than you think, and far simpler than &

Your username is highly accurate based on this statement. This is just complete non-sense.

No. I live in the desert too (Arizona), and do two 8-day dry fasts every year and I'm still around, healthy as ever. Oh, and needing to drink any large amount of water is bad for you and a sign of your body not getting the right food.

As you should be, so do your own research, hopefully before a disease shows up and the forces around you (doctors, friends, family) push you towards mainstream treatment options that at best will put you on a lifelong symptom prevention reg

Do I get back the 3,000 HN Karma points I lost to downvotes after years of suggesting fasting as a viable treatment for a whole host of "diseases"? One day people will see it as obvious as "smoking is bad for you". One d

Almost like Twilio's SMS price, but in the real world SMS in the US is ~$0.0015 (outbound) and free for inbound and that's without trying very hard, can get even lower. Granted it doesn't come with all the ready-made tooling

Why not go with bare metal from say OVH for this type of service? Running a free VoIP service on top of a cloud provider is kind of silly, not just from a cost perspective, but also having shared resources for your voice/WebRTC media s

This is their official rate limit for the FIFO type SQS. Although I bet the Amazon folks know a couple people around the office who can up that limit :)

My bet is they maxed out on the SQS FIFO 300 messages per second limit.

What is wrong with our society? We need AI to tell us how to be healthy? Is this real? Sometimes I feel like I live in the twilight zone. PSA for anyone with a disease that man and corporate picked a name for - you are feeding yourself towa

Bitcoin and other crypto currencies are not a store of value. They are a store of hype and momentum. Right now they have none, hence the steady decline.

Nope. There is very little money in true exercise. The profits come from unhealthy things such as protein supplements, harmful body building, gyms that promote unhealthy exercise routine, etc.

You can call it what you want. I've been in the field for 20 years and have seen many hundreds of people cure so-called lifelong diseases. But sure, wait on the medical world to admit it, because they have all the incentive in the worl

Exactly. Fasting cures diabetes as well as a host of many other "incurable" "diseases". But there is no money in fasting, so our messed up world continues to reject it as a valid solution.

Diabetes can already be cured, without the sick concept of a gastric bypass as some sort of a solution. Type 2 diabetes can be completely reversed following a 14 to 40 day water fast or a series of short 4-7 day dry fasts. This is complete

You are correct, I did mention it once more 22 days ago. Forgot about that one. Prior to that I've had thousands of comments here on HN in the last 10 years that I have not mentioned it in. And many have been downvoted within minutes o

If reducing high blood pressure is important to you, don't trust a random dude on HN. Spend some time researching the concept of water fasting as well as dry fasting and you will find the literature that leads you to conclude it is a w

It's amazing to me that people still believe high blood pressure is some lifelong ailment you need to learn to cope with. Of all "diseases" it is pretty much the easiest to fix. It is well known that as short as a 8-10 day wa

And my comment there stands. It's gotten worse since then, instead of downvotes I simply get flagged and my content disappears. No point.

Hard to change the mind of a person who believes science is used to direct society towards unbiased conclusions. You are putting a lot of faith in many powerful organizations that work tirelessly to control your state of mind and lifestyle

That has not been my experience. I have often written lengthy comments that simply explained my view on certain topics, and within a few minutes those got flagged which rendered them invisible to others. This place is like Reddit in that re
