☀️HEALTH EFFECTS OF SUN EXPOSURE ☀️

Dr @malcolmken on sun exposure

'If there is one piece of mainstream medical advice that I would vote as the single most damaging, it would be the current, ever more hysterical, advice to avoid the sun.'

Short THREAD 🧵
Some of the benefits of sun exposure
Beneficial effects of sun on cardiovascular risk
Which viral infection affects the heart and blood vessels, causes bloods clots and disproportionately affects people with Vitamin D deficiency???
Sun is an evolutionarily consistent enviromental exposure.

Just like the ridiculous meme that red meat is inherently harmful, the idea that sun should be completely avoided is similarly stupid.
And there is no reason to believe that sun on particular parts of the body i.e. genitals is necessary or should be avoided.

Full body sun exposure including on the genitals is healthy behavior @SolBrah @CarnivoreMD @AlpacaAurelius @Mangan150
So if your overweight, pale and tired looking family doctor tells you to cover up and lather sunscreen every time you go outside while writing you a statin prescription to lower your risk of heart disease..

💉🛂THE DANGERS OF VACCINE PASSPORTS 🛂💉

Vaccine passports have extremely dangerous historical precedent and should be strong rejected by all

Here's why they are flawed and what could happen if widely implemented

THREAD 🧵
Vaccine passports have nothing to do with gold-standard infectious diseases epidemiology or public health

They are about control and compliance with government dictates

Vaccinated vs un-vaccinated is not a useful dichotomy
Rather 'protected vs 'unprotected'

You will learn more about maximizing health + longevity from @grimhood @Mangan150 @SolBrah than any doctor or dietitian. Not even close.
A medical / dietetics / nutrition degree is actually an impediment to understanding best-practice health optimization.

Most practitioners unable to question what they have been taught or come to terms with the fact that most lifestyle advice guidelines are plain wrong.
When empirical reality collides with their beliefs (say a patient reversing diabetes with animal-foods keto) too many tell the patient to STOP doing whatever worked and reduce meat/increase grains and seed oils.

An epidemic of cognitive dissonance.

📜THESES OF ROOTCAUSE MEDICINE 📜

Medicine is broken. Corporate profit and pill prescription are prioritized over healing.

We desperately need a paradigm shift. This is how.

Thread 🧵👇 Image
#RootCauseMedicine is an attempt to reverse the modern tsunami of chronic disease by addressing and correcting its fundamental dietary and lifestyle root causes.

It is built on the following set of theses...
REGARDING HUMANS

1. Homo sapiens, like all other living organisms, has evolved homeostatic mechanisms that naturally and spontaneously trend toward health in the absence of medical intervention or injurious environmental insult. Image

Any MDs that follow me. It is imperative for you to understand the degree of capture that the Pharmaceutical industry has over the govt and medicine.

Dr @malcolmken probably done more than any to call this out. His blog is must follow.

drmalcolmkendrick.org/2021/06/28/cov…
The whole premise of Root Cause Medicine is a re-establishing gold standard, first-principles medical care free from pharma-biased intervention.

The state of metabolic health today and the response to virus illustrates how far we currently are from this goal.
The Western democracies are in the process of devolving into Bio-security Police States.

In the works is a two-tiered society based on vaccination status, a proxy for government obedience.

ENGINEERING AN OPTIMAL PREGNANCY

Imagine the healthy development of fetus and placenta on a probabilistic slider

You can push the slider towards 'healthy (optimal)' or 'unhealthy (sub-optimal)' based on your environmental exposures

Most importantly: DIET + TOXINS

Thread 🧵
DIET
Eating for a constant micronutrient surplus shifts the probability slider towards an optimal pregnancy

By providing constant stream of essential nutrients, you reduce the chance that growth/development is hindered (by nutrient absence) at at some critical timepoint
In other words, you are reducing the number of 'rate-limiting steps' which may, in aggregate, contribute to some pregnancy complication or inadequate fetal growth
