Ok here is what I’ve put together from talking to my dad’s doctor regarding massive improvements in his symptoms of Parkinson’s and Lewy body dementia. Mental faculties, memory, mood, appetite, and tremors have all progressed significantly. This is my best interpretation and should not be taken as medical advice.
Lactulose

Lactulose is a laxative. Due to the nerve degeneration of Parkinson’s, the functionality of the bowels degrades and gut motility slows tremendously. There has always been a marked decline in condition during prolonged interruption of movements, with a similarly noticeably improvement after resumption. Can be taken orally and/or rectally. Other laxatives used are Natural Calm Magnesium, Senna Plus, Pure Body Institute Cleanse Purify Colon Program. Enemas can be used as needed. Cannot stress enough the importance of clear bowels no matter how uncomfortable a topic it is. My mother mentioned to me an expression she grew up with in Iran “If on the back of a horse and the need to go to the bathroom arises, do not wait to get off the horse to go.” Don’t hold it. I think this has been the most significant in immediately improving his state.

Probiotics

Pendulum Life Metabolic Daily

I’m not sure why she chose this one specifically, but it contains Bifidobacterium infantis which is known to be present in high levels in breast-fed babies, have heard many say it’s a very beneficial strain. Image
Mitochondrial enhancers

N-acetylcysteine (NAC)
Alpha Lipoic Acid
Acetyl-L-Carnitine

The doctor said these were the most important for improving neurological function. They manage mitochondrial dysfunction/increase mitochondrial biogenesis. NAC increases glutathione production and dopamine, ALA is vital for cellular metabolism, and ALC is has been used for Alzheimer disease, improving memory and thinking skills, treating symptoms of depression, and reducing nerve pain in people with diabetes.

Phosphatidylserine

MitoCore Protein Blend

Also contains NAC, ALA, and ALC, has been much easier to get my dad to take in a powder than lots of pills, and contains lots of minerals and other ingredients that I’m sure are helping my dad get better overall nutrition. Image
I think as with anything the first step is to get rid of the thing causing problems, and then work on healing. Remove the knife and then start treating the wound.
And for the love of God don’t let anyone you love take statins

Home Alone is such a cozy movie in large part because of the most incredible shade of green used heavily throughout that is both natural and mystical: Phthalo Green Image

All discussions of motive for Luigi Mangione have to start with his back pain. Anyone who has lived with it can tell you how debilitating it can be. There’s no relief. You feel it constantly, such that your back starts to numb to ease the pain. You’re prevented from not just enjoying your favorite activities, but living life in the moment. You’re always waiting for it to hit again, and that’s if it ever lets up at all. It can seriously impact your sleep as well.

All my friends that had back surgeries say it never helped, but it’s the most common prescription. This is a young fit man who loved to hike and surf. That likely was taken from him and he sought relief any way he could. Everyone I know from the gym has looked into Dr. Stuart McGill and his “Big 3.”Image
Image
Image
You have to imagine he was put on a lot of pain killers. Of course that solves nothing so here’s a kid with a back surgery and pills just wanting his life back. Based on his writings he is clearly a smart and open minded kid that turned to mushrooms for answers. He knew that there is no solution in relief. There’s no point in masking the pain, perhaps he thought by opening his mind further he would better come to answers for his body.Image
Image
Why he chose the CEO of a healthcare company is hard to say. Based on available information he worked at a tech startup in Hawaii and his family has money. Combined with what I imagine his perspective on healing has become and no glaring financial holes it seems unlikely that he would come to the conclusion that this man was in any way responsible, or even symbolically in his way, for his struggles. Perhaps he thought that it’s a travesty we have healthcare that provides no coverage for any real solutions, any holistic care or anything that actually does the job.

A crazy white guy who was obsessed with raw milk figured this out over 100 years ago and came up with all kinds of neck exercises to stimulate the thyroid and lymph nodes. His name was Bernarr MacFadden and he was the first fitness influencer. Image
Image
Image
MacFadden believed fitness was everything, and if you trained hard and ate right you could live to 150. He published the first major fitness magazine and was vehemently opposed to doctors and vaccines. Image
He was into barefoot walking, lots of sun, sex, and minimal clothing. He promoted weightlifting and wrestling. Much of what we wrote about is quite popular these days like fasting and raw foods. He wrote a whole book on a pure raw milk diet. Image

We have another RWBB vs Peater battle on our hands and as a member of both parties I’m going to tackle this with some broscience.

Here’s me at my leanest and fattest.
195 lbs 10% bodyfat and 230 lbs fat fat. Image
Image
I’m going to start by saying no Peater thinks you won’t lose weight if you starve yourself. But the metabolism doesn’t just have one gear or mode. What constitutes the weight of the body is made up of dry muscle, fat, organs, bones, vital fluids, water, glycogen, etc.
How one loses weight is just as important as how one gains weight. Losing weight without care can go horribly wrong. The type of foods consumed, hormones and stimulation of the body all factor into whether one modifies any of the different tissues of the body.

Some libtard wrote a thread a couple years ago about how fitness, health, and wellness are a construct of far-right fascism and I’m going to copy it verbatim because it’s a great thread and every point she makes is correct
🧵 Image
“Wellness came out of a movement called physical culture, created by history’s first fitspo influencer, Bernarr Macfadden.

He used aspirational images of his own rippling physique to sell followers on a lifestyle of regimented diet and exercise.”
Image
Image
“One of Macfadden’s most significant impacts was to bind the concept of good health to the glossy perfectionism of celebrity and beauty culture.”
