Alcohol also disrupts the intestinal barrier. Intestinal permeability causes immune system problems.

Not true. I've used bitcoin for purchases before (not illegal drugs). From sellers who were dropped from payment processors for CYA-type reasons. Yes, a big part is speculation but how could it not be? Any bet on the future is speculat

This is my stance exactly. It doesn't hurt to try, and you will learn a lot in the process. Also, some of these are proven by science, just remember there is a lot of science out there and doctors are only aware of a tiny fraction of

Yes indeed, I was giving hints for research, that will quickly reveal the best forms of magnesium to take (glycinate, chloride).

Obviously both vitamins and plant extracts need to be treated with care, after having done thorough research. Thankfully there is plenty of information available, and as I've said the HN crowd should be especially well equipped for thi

I didn't know that, frankly I remember reading, many years ago, people saying that downvotes are not meant to express disagreement. Maybe that changed, I personally don't agree with this and only consider downvoting if someone is

Many of the recommendations are vitamins and minerals, that are common deficiencies (magnesium is a notorious one, because of soil depletion etc.). It's reasonable to suspect that recovery from an illness finds one in a nutrient-deplet

Thank you. Yes Niacin (vitamin B3) megadoses are seemingly very effective for a wide range of ailments.

The experience you're describing doesn't disqualify supplements, you say you've taken "25 [random] pills", this is not what I'm advocating. There are various supplements, be it vitamins or plant extracts, that

I hope this is taken the right way, but have you tried "vitamins" (broadly speaking)? Some I have seen with specific effects: Niacin, Black Seed Oil (Nigella Sativa), Magnesium megadoses, etc. etc. Don't dismiss these as &quo

I agree, programs are and will always remain first for humans to read, which means they have to follow the shape of thought and not the other way around.

Yes, programming languages are simple, programs are infinitely complex, they could express anything, and homoiconic languages can even define their own syntax.

What would it mean to "understand" it. Imagine a program written by such a system, it's easy to imagine an immensely complex question about the system that sounds simple, for instance asking about design choices, code archite

There are many successful examples with such a diet. Here's an account from a person who successfully treated inoperable and aggressive brain cancer with his own protocol, with only animal foods: https://paleomedicina.com&#x

My belief is it's simply that immunity tends to be more depressed with the cold. Less sun, less vitamin d, perhaps some ingrained cycle due to expected lower food availability, slower metabolism, etc. Basically hibernation.

Did you watch the episode with Dr. Kory and, if so, what are your objections on what was being said? Note that as far as I can tell and remember, YouTube policy at that time was that content not in line with health authorities was not allow

The channel was half their income, and there's no reason to doubt their sincerity. Maybe the end result is what you say, but your comment was about their intentions.

Strange how this was suddenly removed from the frontpage. Is this done manually?

I'd like to hear from critics of Bret that have actually watched his content, in particular the episode with Dr. Pierre Kory. Do you support YouTube's decision? What about YouTube taking down Dr. Kory's Senate testimony?

If you're interested in a case of a person treating brain cancer successfully with a similar diet, look up Andrew Scarborough, he's presently a cancer researcher iirc, but he has been using such a diet for years to successfully pu

They offer a service that includes their supervision... The diet itself isn't proprietary, and given their results I don't mind they charge a decent amount. But, again, the diet is basically: get almost all of your calories from a

I understand the skepticism, but I urge you to look into the people running the clinic, they are honest and credible people, and the results are real. They also recount that they have trouble with people finding such a simple solution in-cr

Paleomedicina. Zsofia Clemens, one of the researchers, has a Twitter presence as well. They likewise get pushback from the name alone, but hopefully motivated people will look past that.

Just use "git commit --amend --allow-empty", no need to change anything! Edit: this is mixing up two things, what you want in this case is "git commit --amend -C HEAD && git push -f", i.e. replace the current com

I've had MS and fully recovered with a carnivore diet (started with "paleo", similar to Whals protocol). I've come to believe it's all about gut permeability. There's a clinic in Hungary practicing this with va

Avoiding "solid fats" aka saturated fats is bad advice. The science behind saturated fats being harmful has been debunked and even some government agencies have rescinded the recommendation to avoid them. On the contrary, it'

Multiple sources say it absorbs best, it's also extremely cheap which means you can use it in baths, and topically in general. Other forms bound to various amino acids like magnesium glycinate are good too, but you can also supplement

Magnesium is a great addition in any situation. I recommend trying high-dose magnesium from magnesium chloride, it's easy to dissolve some (up to 15 grams at once) in some water and drink.
