For me, the diet puts HS completely into remission. I've been on the yeast and wheat-free diet for about six years. While the diet is hard to follow, I never have any boils, sinus tracts or any skin inflammation. Also happily (and anec

I follow a yeast-free diet to control an auto-immune disease called Hidradenitis suppurativa. Some doctors produced a study a while back where they found anti-Saccharomyces cerevisiae autoantibodies in HS patients. When patients followed a

Thanks for providing some scientific literacy to my argument. The western diet is designed around eating fatty foods wrapped around some innately-inflammatory bread product. If I was trying to give myself arterial plaque I would eat somethi

Sure. But what is known about atherosclerosis is that plaques are not _on_ the arterial wall, but _inside_ the arterial wall. For plagues to form, fats have to be pulled into the arterial wall. How does this happen? Inflammation as designed

I support this as an avid DDG user. Russian disinformation is a new kind of warfare that we've not inoculated ourselves against yet. This is a step in that direction. “in order to maintain a tolerant society, the society must be intole

The sad reality is that people will die from the excess carbon and pollution put into the atmosphere by mining crypto.

This will be an interesting experiment to see what happens when these companies spurn the customers that created the conditions for this market to exist. I hope Apple or another company is smart enough to use this opportunity to scoop up di

It sucks that people can't purchase GPUs to fill real needs because an illicit need for has been found for them instead. We now have an actual value lost in our civilization so that people can be separated from their money in an invest

This would have to be a shallow definition of illicit. I think wasting energy, hoarding GPUs, baiting unsophisticated investors could be all be considered illicit activity. By that definition all of cryptocurrency is illicit.

I would like to see a new web with a reduced feature set. Something like web 1.0 pages but with only semantic tags like RSS. Remove the ability to create user interfaces and forms. Could we build a spec for this new WWW and create a way for

It seems like there is some new undetected "lead in the pipes" thing going on these days where everyone is going crazy. Sociopathy is running amok. Our institutions used to be able to control these people. We need new ways of iden

I think it would be cool to imagine ourselves as part of the process of civilization that created these buildings and restore them to their former glory. If the Mona Lisa was ripped in half we would surely restore it back to a single piece.

I wonder if there will come a time when society decides it's better to fix ruins such as the Colosseum and the pyramids instead of letting them just rot away.

I'm just saying that a wheat and yeast-free diet has reversed Hidradenitis and many systemic inflammation symptoms for me. In trying to understand _why_ it became clear to me that yeast (and maybe wheat) trigger an inflammatory respon

Yep, it's kind of a double-edged sword. On one hand an over-active immune response can be great for fighting cancers and opportunistic infections possibly. But too much inflammation will wear down our bodies and trigger auto-immune res

This diet is hard to follow because yeast cuts through a lot of foods, especially in fermented foods as you've mentioned. A non-exhaustive list of yeasty foods looks like: Non-distilled vinegars, non-distilled alcohols, dried fruits, n

I absolutely agree with this. My great grandmother had Alzheimers as well as Hidradenitis suppurativa, which I have inherited from her. I switched to a yeast and wheat free diet many years ago to relieve symptoms of HS. Not only did it reso

I used to get aura-style migraines. After following a yeast and wheat free diet my migraines went away. I started on the diet based on a small study as a way to suppress hidradenitis suppurativa symptoms. I’ve now been on this diet for 7 ye

I believe that people with hyperphantasia can actually visualize chess boards on ceilings. As somebody who cannot actually visualize things with my mind’s eye (aphantasia) I cannot comprehend this.

I suspect that there is some truth the the "Chinese-restaurant syndrome" beyond the racism of the times. Chinese food contains much soy sauce and other fermented ingredients. These foods contain yeasts which are naturally inflamma
