It was just an example.
That’s how I actually accidentally went low A without realizing it in 2017. I was so busy that I was just eating mostly things like meat, gluten free grains and frozen bean burritos with an apple or banana thrown in here and there. I also wasn’t taking my usual supplements and I felt so much better!!! When life started calming down and I started trying to eat better and supplement again everything went down hill for me quickly. When I read about Grant’s theory in 2018 I realized that it was pretty close to how I had eaten in 2017 when I felt so good.
I think @Philomath was on to something recently, in an estrogenic body the copper in cacao might not be optimal. Modern life in general for the average person is stressful and "estrogenic". It's easier for people to understand "don't eat copper". Even if the cause of the problem could be simple zinc insufficiency.
Chocolate almost killed me due to copper toxicity. The "vitamin A" toxicity usually comes first and then other things like copper, lead etc are not far behind.
This. I swear to you even eating pufas and rubbbish can't affect me if I am distracted/busy in a positive way. At least short term of course.
Sure, but if people in here do not have much something that is precisely estrogen. The whole diet/supps are made to tank estrogen. Dunno. Just thinking out loud. If it works for you guys I trust you, really. You are knowledgeable enough at this point to detect things going wrong amd compare to previous experiences.
I'm not sure the history of cacao is so benign. The Mayans used cacao to intoxicate people who were going to be sacrificed to make sure they didn't get cold feet. They believed large amounts of cacao made these people channel spirits, and indeed they acted possessed. I have seen people with copper toxicity who also acted a bit like they would sometimes get "possessed" by a very unbalanced emotional side of their personality.
That is interesting and makes sense.
Tanked estrogen sucks, I did it once with aromatase and had the whole night sweats thing. Nuance is key.
It can be yes. For sure it was considered a plant with more than regular nutritional properties. Dose is a thing. Intention and context is another. Same as peyote was used to heal and was given also to the ones who were about to be sacrificed. It is a complex topic.
Accutane/isotretinoin/13-cis-retinoic acid is one of the retinoid derivatives produced by the body from retinol and it is highly toxic whether is comes from medication or endogenous production.
Nick. I see you guys talking about toxic bile. What about liver flushes (Andreas Moritz style)? That clears up completely the bile. Basically you expell it all without any way for the body to reabsorv it.
I know Garrett Smith thinks they are not very useful because in order to make the flush strong you are supposed to avoid bile-stimulating foods for a bit beforehand, so you aren't actually making more bile in total, it's just all expelled at once. However, I think the usefulness would lie in the point that you make: the flush doesn't allow any of this bile to be reabsorbed.
I see. Yes the point of not eating bile-generating foods for the week prior to the flush is to accumulate it all on the gallbladder so it can be expelled all at once. Yes, they are an absolute pain to do.
Workouts, strength gain, (healthful) weight gain, and recovery are at an all time best for me at the moment.
Good'ol weight lifters diet looks like. Rice and lean cuts big time. Oats bananas and protein breakfast.
