"Someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more."
Here's one of the main problems with leftists. They always want to take from others. They always look for ways to punish or hurt others. They never have the vision or even the brains to ask, "How can we make more pie?"

Detox is a bit of a challenge to understand if you don't understand @NutriDetect's "Duration Paradox."
The body is keen to simply let the toxicity rest in out of reach places for as long as it needs to. Drugs, medication, toxic foods and even certain activities can stop detox from happening resulting in you feeling better.
Here's an analogy that came to mind as I explained this to somebody IRL yesterday.
The body is a fish tank. The substrate is dirty.
In order to detox, you MUST disturb the substrate. Imagine taking a hand and scooping up dirt off the bottom of the tank. You've successfully removed a lot of gunk, but there's a lot more sitting on the bottom still, except that because now you've disturbed the substrate, a lot of crap is floating throughout the water and the water is cloudy.
You have to give your body time to process the stirred up toxins. This means waiting a bit before you scoop the next bit of toxicity out, or going slow enough so you don't kill your fish.
So next time you eat some fiber, imagine you stuck your hand into a fish tank and pulled out some fish poop on the floor of the tank.

Go and get a methylation panel (and the usuals) if you've been unable to resolve your histamine issues through diet, addressing the gut, mold exposure and so on.
HMNT, converts histamine into N-methylhistamine and without enough methyl groups this can not properly happen.
Now if you have no idea what methylation is, it's the "result" of the methionine and folate cycles.
If you want another definition here's one:
First things first.
1. An alkane, consists of hydrogen and carbon atoms (CnH2n+2) that are arranged like a tree.
2. An alkyl group, is an alkane missing one hydrogen.
Why does this matter?
Because:
-Methane, contains 1 carbon atom and 4 hydrogen atoms (CH4).
-A methyl group, is derived from methane and contains 1 carbon atom and 3 hydrogen atoms (CH3).
This had to be mentioned for the definition of methylation which is a form of alkylation where a methyl group is replacing a hydrogen atom to stick better.
Or as it is often referred to “the addition of a methyl group” (one carbon metabolism supplies methyl groups).
Now here are a few processes in which methylation plays a key role:
-Gene regulation, expression and embryonic development
-The regulation of neurotransmitters
-Hematopoiesis
-Energy production
-Immune responses
-Getting rid of excessive histamine
-Antioxidant production
-Detoxing
-Repairing damaged cells
-Metabolizing B vitamins
-The production of phosphatidylcholine, carnitine, melatonin and creatine
All of these are NOT something that you should brush off even if you don't have histamine issues.
Why?
Well, here are some things that poor methylation can exacerbate or even cause:
-Miscarriages
-Heart disease
-Arthritis
-Excessive inflammation
-Skin issues such as acne and eczema
-Anxiety
-Depression
-Migraines
-Poor cognitive function
-Autoimmune issues
-Stomach problems
-Blood clots
-Infertility
-Estrogen dominance
-Liver issues
-Hypothyroidism
So, you can not improve ANYTHING from your hormonal profile, detoxification, gut problems and immune system all the way to your focus without proper methylation.

On average, each unit increase in VO2 max (1 ml/kg/min) is associated with a 45-day increase in life expectancy.
Maximizing longevity isn't just about adding years to your life; it's about enhancing the quality of those years through superior cardiorespiratory fitness, as measured by VO2 max.
An improved VO2 max means our body becomes more efficient at using oxygen to generate energy. This efficiency isn't just about better performance in physical activities; it translates to enhanced energy levels and stamina in our daily lives.

Do you take care of your mitochondria?
Unhealthy mitochondria = Poor health
Mitochondrial dysfunction leads to:
• Obesity
• Diabetes
• Muscle aging
• Neurodegeneration
• Cardiovascular disease
Here are 12 ways you can improve the health of your mitochondria:
Nicole Zimmerman retweeted
Some simple logic for mitochondrial health:
1) Excess ROS production is the driver of aging and chronic disease
2) ROS is produced in mitochondria, particularly in the ETC
3) ROS production increases as the proton gradient increases
4) Uncoupling proteins (UCPs) dissipate the proton gradient, therefore reducing ROS production
5) UCPs expression has a circadian rhythm, they peak during the resting phase
6) Leptin signalling increases UCPs, leptin peaks at night
7) Melatonin regulates leptin rhythm and sensitivity, peaks at night

How your liver protects you from the poisons around you
Your liver is your body's filtration system
It works 24/7 to break down & eliminate various toxins found in your environment/food
Common toxins include:
Drugs
Alcohol
Medications
Viruses/bacteria/Parasites
Pesticides/insecticides (Glyphosate)
Recent reports show that Americans carry more than 219 toxic compounds in their body
Mainly from your drinking water, food and air
It's unavoidable
Low-level accumulation of these toxins can cause various health concerns like obesity, inflammation & cancer
Keeping liver function optimal is extremely important for your wellbeing
Here are a few signs your liver needs help:
Insomnia
Itchy skin
Chronic fatigue
Excessive sweat
Bloating and gas
Trouble concentrating
Constipation
Chronic alcohol use
Now, you're probably wondering: “How the hell does my liver clean out all that junk?”
It’s done through a process called detoxification
The word "Detox" has gotten such a bad rap
People hear it & instantly imagine BS juice cleansing scams
But it's a real process that happens in your body
I won’t bore you with the details of liver detoxification
But simply put, it happens in 2 phases:
Phase 1 = fat-soluble toxins are transformed into intermediary metabolites
Phase 2 = metabolites transform into water-soluble toxins so you flush them out in your urine & stool
Poor liver function means there’s a slow down in these phases
That can happen due to:
Genetics
High stress
Poor diet (lots of fructose)
Toxic work environments (i.e painters. Metalworkers)
This is why lifestyle changes are vital to improving your liver health
The biggest issue I have with mainstream medicine on liver health is that they ONLY start paying attention to it once the damage is done
They call it fatty liver disease or non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)
The worst part is that patients are never taught what to do to keep their liver firing on all cylinders
And prevent the disease from ever happening
Your liver isn't the only organ that plays a roles in the clean up crew
Your gallbladder is its trusted side-kick
If your liver is the filtration system
The gallbladder is the sewage pipe through which the gunk that needs to be eliminated from your system flows through into your colon
This happens through the presences of bile, an important digestive fluid
Serious problems arise when your liver is weakened by fatty liver disease
You struggle to:
Manage stress
Break down dietary fats (Low bile)
Absorb important fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, E, K Remove excess estrogens from your body (cancer)
It’s a recipe for serious disease
But, there's good news
You can take back control and do what it takes to keep your liver healthy & here are some excellent ways to do so:
1. Fasting
Nothing improves liver health like giving it a break
Like I mentioned earlier
Your liver is constantly working & digestion is very demanding
Removing food for short periods of time allows your liver to do whatever maintenance work it needs
There’s a reason different cultures around the world revere fasting as a tradition
They intuitively knew giving their digestion a break was therapeutic
A 48h fast switches on your migratory motor complex (gut’s natural self-cleaning tool)
2. Diet
You are what you eat
The Standard American diet is filled with processed inflammatory fats (vegetable oils) & refined sugars
These do a number on your liver
An ancestral diet free of these toxic foods is vital to repair the damage
One of the biggest mistakes for your liver is going on a low-fat diet
You need fat/cholesterol to produce bile (fat breakdown)
Not getting enough puts your biology at a severe disadvantage & negatively affects your digestion
Your liver also needs two very important nutrients called methionine & choline
Methionine is found in beef, chicken, pork, nuts & fish
It’s a precursor to glutathione (important for toxin breakdown)
Choline is found in egg yolks, liver, cruciferous veggies & grass fed dairy
It helps break down fats (cholesterol)
3. Supplements
Supplements are an excellent tool to accelerate the repair process by helping phase 1 and phase 2 of liver detoxification
Providing your body with adequate doses of specific nutrients is key
Here are some you can use to help you in your detoxification journey
Nutrients that support Phase 1:
B Vitamins
Folate
Vitamin A, C, D and E
Milk thistle
Calcium
Glutathione
Nutrients that support phase 2:
Glycine
Taurine
Glutamine
Cysteine
Sulfur based compounds such as those found in garlic or artichoke
Another supplement that I love to use is TUDCA
TUDCA is a bile acid derivative that’s been used in Chinese medicine to supportyour liver and gallbladder
TUDCA is multifaceted
It helps improves kidney function + eye health too
Highly recommended
4. Sunlight
The sun is a key component of a healthy liver
Your liver has tons of mitochondria that need adequate light to be their best
The sun also helps your body produce vitamin D which is vital to your wellbeing
Research also shows sunlight lowers liver inflammation
The approach is simple
Fasting
Diet
Supplements
Sunlight
These 4 things will help keep your liver at its best and clear out dangerous poisons
So you can live a long & vibrant life

The Rhind Mathematical Papyrus is the oldest manuscript written in algebra and trigonometry, dating back to 3,550 years ago.
It shows that the Egyptians used first-order equations, geometric series and a second-order algebraic equation, related to the Pythagorean theorem a² + b² = c²
It also describes how to obtain an approximation of π accurate to within less than 1% and one of the earliest attempts at squaring the circle.

Primer on Mitochondrial Dysfunction & Disease:
Lets take a step by step look at how a mitochondria functions (the basics), and how it's malfunctioning can lead to disease and aging.
1) Oxidative Phosphorylation (OXPHOS):
A process that couples the transfer of electrons through the electron transport chain with the pumping of protons across the mitochondrial inner membrane.
2) Electron Transport Chain (ETC):
A series of protein complexes (I-V) embedded in the inner mitochondrial membrane.
3) Proton Pumping:
As electrons pass through the protein complexes in the ETC, protons (H+ ions) are pumped into the intermembrane space of the mitochondria. This creates a proton gradient, which represents potential energy.
4) Oxygen:
O2 is the final electron acceptor in the ETC. As electrons flow through the ETC, they combine with oxygen and protons to form water.
5) ATP Synthase:
The final complex of the ETC functions as a molecular turbine. It uses the energy generated by the flow of protons back into the mitochondrial matrix to synthesize ATP from ADP and phosphate.
6) Reactive Oxygen Species (ROS):
OXPHOS produces a normal but toxic by-product in the form of ROS. These are chemically reduced by antioxidant defence systems such as manganese superoxide dismutase (MngSOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and catalase.
Now we know the basics of how a mitochondria works. What happens when things go wrong?
7) OXPHOS Malfunction:
The inhibition of OXPHOS results in back log in the ETC. The ATPase does not spin and so the electrons can't tunnel along the ETC.
8) Excess ROS:
This leaves electrons stuck within the respiratory complexes, causing them to react directly with oxygen to generate superoxide anions (ROS).
9) Excess Calories:
Add on top of this a high calorie diet (higher than their mitochondria can handle), and their mitochondrial ETCs will become even more overloaded.
10) Reduced Glucose Utilization:
In effect, what has happened is the cells ability to utilize carbohydrates and fats to make ATP is impaired. The ETC is stalled.
11) Hyperglycaemia:
The unusable glucose is rejected by the cell resulting in increase blood glucose levels.
12) Hyperinsulinemia:
Chronic hyperglycaemia signals to pancreatic β cells to secrete insulin = insulin resistance.
13) Mitochondrial DNA Damage:
Lets go back to step 7 (excessive ROS production). As antioxidant defences are overwhelmed, oxidative stress causes damage to mtDNA.
14) Apoptosis:
As mtDNA damage accumulates, apoptosis (programmed cell death) is an inevitability.
15) Disease:
Symptoms of disease arise when the number of cells in a tissue declines below the threshold to maintain normal function. Now you have tissue failure and age-related disease.
16) Grounding:
Now you also understand the importance of connecting to the Earth's electromagnetic circuit, to draw upon the free electrons it provides to neutralize ROS.
