    You take a daily dose of pollen, starting with very small dose. It will itch your throat, and after a while you'll tolerate it, then you increase dose, until allergies have gone. And then you keep taking low doses all year long. I think it's better to start after the allergy season, and try to...

    Almost like "food is the first medicine", a shame doctors this day have forgotten this (and the oath, for most...). That being said, you'd need a really difficult to obtain diet to get rid of allergies, just by that imo. You'd need stuff that straight outlawed to sell in the USA, and most...

    You could go back in time and eat dirt while being a kid, and reroll eating completely sterilized food all your life. That being said, I have no allergies, but I know several people that got rid of them with the pollen/raw honey trick. Also know someone whose allergies disapeared, and he put...

    Yeah that's my take on keto and fasting, it's usefull to do it periodicaly, but I wouldn't do IF everyday, nor try being in keto every day. Sure I'm fasting 5 days in a row now and then, I do a keto diet a times, but most of the time I do neither. Keto/Fasting usefullness in preventing/helping...

    You've got different benefit from 48h+ fasting, especialy on the immune system. And it's suprisingly easy to got to long fast when you're used to IF.

    Prolonged fasting is showing promise for these kind of things. There's a lot of research pointing toward it being usefull. https://www.mountsinai.org/about/newsroom/2019/mount-sinai-researchers-discover-that-fasting-reduces-inflammation-and-improves-chronic-inflammatory-diseases...

    I'd do a vitamin D level test, vitamin D deficiency can definitely cause low blood calcium. If vit D is low, you probably want to get 10k IU per day for 3 months.

    I think that's something that scientists determined in the 70's or something, like we're missing something fondamental in our understanding of humans to be able to create something sentient. And WE haven't made any progress in that direction. We just have bigger toys based on the exact same...

    I was snoring a lot, my wife complained a lot. Lost 50 pounds from 32 bmi to 24. Snoring gone entirely. For me it's magnesium, vitD and tryptophane before bed, not all the Time, but regularly and it does the job. I don't think there's any side effect associated with this.

    Sugar is the worst offender, but I understand that people want to roll back everything done in the second half of the 20th century. 'Science' was telling us that carbs were the foundation of our diet... Those industrial fat don't look too great either. Probably a lot less bad than industrial...

    It seems like working as intended... Considering how widely used melatonin is for lots of stuff and that no study report any serious side effect for melatonin for humans, I'd say it's one of the safest sleeping pill you can find. But as all supplement and drugs, obviously the least you need, the...

    There is no study showing it, but I think the reason why some people are recommending to not use it long term is that, since it's a hormone, if you take a lot of it on a regular basis it could leat to atrophy of the pineal gland which is naturaly producing it. I haven't found any study backing...

    Melatonin might be a bad Idea for long term. But using it less than once a month is probably the safest shit for sleeping you can find as it's an hormone you're producing all day and night long. It's possibly an issue if you take it for months or years, daily. For someone who doesn't have a bad...

    I have a hard time believing that eating very low carbs all the time is a good idea. Until you're reaching the weight you want, or for some specific cases maybe, but the human race is definitely made to occasionnaly eat carbs, at least from fruits. I believe you gain more from diversifying...

    I think the end of Lanx video makes sense, making a break once in a while. I've started doing it a while ago, and noticed the guy had a study backing that up.

    My experience with my nearly 4 year old is that you have to have a routine. My daughter knows that when I tell her "last story" or "last video" it's the last one and no crying or anything won't give her anything. She knows I won't tolerate any activity beside staying in bed (except toilets...
