Actually it’s used in everything, it’s available, it’s well studied, it’s cheap, and most importantly it grows fast in a lab, so it’s easy to work with…

I wish I was joking, but lots of in vitro human research is done on the poor women’s cancer cells when the research has nothing to do with cancer, it’s quite the confounder

There are some unifying theories of cancer that do kinda make it into one thing: https://doi.org/10.3389/fcell.2015.00043

I.e. the Warburg effect, and damaged mitochondria being st the root of all cancers.

In your example the flu is not just one thing either, it’s a group of viruses that broadly have the same symptoms

Your philosophy is antithetical to existence.

Being alive kills other things, nature is competition. From bacteria and viruses in your body constantly being killed, to animals in the food supply (even veggies and croplands have pest control), just living in a safe community relies on the killing of other life: removing dangerous animals from the community, keeping pests out of food stores, keeping the water clean (kills water based life)

The phone you are using is at the end of a very complicated supply chain that mines resources from the earth, which requires killing animals… Moving resources across the earth, which requires killing animals (fish hit by boats, animals run over by cars, birds hit by trucks, pest control in all the production and storage facilities), etc.

When we maintain fasting for 5+ days we have a fairly large bump in autophagy, a state where the body kills off and recycles damaged cells. This state can cause some types of cancer to be more obvious to our immune systems and allow the tumor to be attacked. In some cases otherwise inoperable tumors can be removed after shrinking them through fasting.

Cancer cells can’t metabolize fat, when your fasting and in ketosis your body is only supplying fat and the cancer has nothing to eat (mostly, there is some glucose produced as a baseline)

I.E. fasting slows down the cancer energy rate so that the immune system can start catching up.

This is why the press-pulse cancer protocol uses deep ketosis and fasting in addition to supreasing the bodies glucose production. I.e. never adding external sugar into the body at all during treatment.

There is debate on that. There is a mitochondrial model of cancer that unifies cancer into a single mechanic. https://doi.org/10.3389/fcell.2015.00043

This is different from the common somatic mutation theory which views cancer as a bad generic mutation of human DNA

Niche communities have some growing pains here, but I’m hopeful we will get critical mass… one day

FWIW the zero-carb / carnivore communities don’t hate vegans; Nothing about being metabolically healthy requires us to hate on people who choose a different path. The issue is that one group has made their entire identity about what other people eat and proselytizing… so they see the fact zero carb diets work as a personal attack and react… even though it isn’t about them at all.

Thanks for the ping. The more the merrier!

It’s a fairly niche area so keeping the content coming will be a challenge, but I am hopeful these new mods can make it happen.

I’m trying to keep the content coming!

I feel like I’m posting alot!

Ground beef and eggs can be quite reasonable when purchased in bulk from wholesale sources! Keeps my cost down

From watching the video the ROE appears to allow for engagement for crossing the blue line onto federal property or interfering with traffic leaving the compound.

Last time I checked on fairphone they weren’t doing the due diligence for basic security, and that’s why grapheneos won’t touch them

Did they get worse?

People can, and have, lived long happy lives without any fruit.

nobody would argue that

I couldn’t be more wrong if I tried

Help me understand your position then. What was wrong about my original comment that fruit is a treat best enjoyed in moderation?

You won’t die if you don’t eat sugar

He is so well spoken, and his work is very impactful!

I’ll grant you my position is unpopular, but I haven’t seen any data indicating it is wrong.

Yes, but its a ketogenic eating pattern. Zero carb.

Carnivore is a type of keto, and gets all of the benefits we see with keto

Carnivore I wouldn’t be surprised about though.

Carnivore is just keto.

PBF : Plant based food - The all plant based diet that gets lots of press

ABF : Animal based foods - the zero carbohydrate ketogenic that usually has lots of controversy
