“The cholesterol-lowering fiasco for a long time centered on the ability of unsaturated oils to slightly lower serum cholesterol. For years, the mechanism of that action wasn't known, which should have suggested caution. Now, it seems that the effect is just one more toxic…

I’ve had several experiences now where someone close to me is suddenly super negative, agitated, angry— feeling like the world is against them. And then subsequently finding out they’re having stomach/constipation issues. Literally possessed by endotoxin

i feel like i've had cognitive decline past 2 years. by far two biggest downsides are: 1) i struggle really hard to keep code in my brain while writing or understanding code 2) 100x effort to remember things i naturally remembered before please help diagnose, more details:
The body is a beautifully complex self-regulating system. When you deny it the raw materials it needs, it makes compromises. These compromises are symptoms. When compromises can no longer be made, you get diagnosed with a chronic condition “out of nowhere.” Must be genetics.
I’ve struggled with this idea for quite a while. I still don’t understand how faith can give someone the courage to take action, yet another person can have faith but needs to address the physical state more directly. I think it honestly might come down to trusting your…
