My breakfast alone would probably kill Fuhrman but I'm a 6'3 native American/Scottish decent and not a former figure skater...different strokes but the main theme is food quality and people are fooling themselves in that regard.If it's processed it will have a net negative effect long term.If it comes in a box with a label it's less than ideal,if it has health claims on the box it's probably even worse. BTW my wife had ulcerative colitis with a diagnosis of likely bowel surgery,that was 3 years ago and she is 100% cured through diet alone(according to Dr's it was just spontaneous remission,sure) as well as my lifelong IBS,sinus infections,allergies,cavities and acne 100% cured through diet(not vegetarian).I've spent about 2,000 hours researching the diet spectrum but I always come back to the work of Weston A Price.

Not necessarily even though I've been on a high fat diet(60% calories from fat) for 3 years and my blood work is fine.I've been 100% gluten free for 6 years. My point was that all wheat products are crappy processed food that cause leptin resistance(appetite regulation),gut irritation and insulin dis-regulation. To a much lesser extent legumes and other grains do the same but the main offender is gluten and high temperature extruded de-natured protein factory processed food-like items(cereal,pasta,crackers,flours,cakes ect)that stuff is crap and along with sugar and vegetable oil(veg oil is NOT FOOD) THE major player in Western degenerative diseases.

ditch the wheat and eat more fat and protein for breakfast...cereal and bagels are poor food choices

Due to my experiences practicing FP I've been compelled to set up an altar to Kuan Yin,mainly due to "visions" during seated meditation #5 (50,40,30,10). I've experienced a certain degree of permanent healing of past injuries,what I mean is it's not dependent on if I practice or not anymore,seems I've recovered some homeostasis.

metal=sword (s)word=air English is an occult crafted language like that

isn't this Zeitgeist collectivist nonsense basically the polar opposite of Daoism?

I have not tried the cracked spore but you can get it at JingHerbs. The best cordyceps I've found comes from HyperionHerbs. It's a 10:1 extract and they have a Duanwood Reishi dual hot water/alcohol extract that is very nice.

His lights Out sleep formulas is awesome. I tend to stay away from formulas that have 100 ingredients as I feel each one is so diluted it loses potency. IMO many of the herbs work by hormesis so taking too many would be like someone who works out too much and is overtrained,it is a stress on the system.

As far as your diet there is huge room for improvement there and taking herbs would certainly be beneficial. If you eat that junk you listed every couple of days then you always have chemicals and crap in your system.Low body temp after eating can be inflammation(gluten damage).Grains and peanuts(beans) have high lectin and anti-nutrient loads and irritate the gut blocking mineral absorption. How is your digestion and elimination?

once you do the initial breath sequence,breathing is done independent of the movement.

some ideas 1. weak digestion from overeating carbs thereby reducing stomach acid 2. feedlot beef-high in n6 low in n3-eat grassfed only 3. eating beef with starch-it's traditional but not good for digestion-skip buns and potato with beef 4. over cooking-I eat my beef rare or raw-much easier to digest 5. maybe it just doesn't agree with you...the reason I don't eat chicken

label away if it makes you feel better The venus Project is still a load of crap and I've already wasted too much energy on this nonsense

the people behind these films are Fabian Socialists

for Monk Gazes Moon should the sternum/chest be out and shoulder blades closer or should chest be slightly sunken with scapula gently spread? How long should a round of MSW take? 20 minutes? thanks

many valid points here. just to throw in my 2 cents....who would do better in a knife wielding,nut kicking,eye poking scrap-a 185 lb athletic sport fighter who trains full force with relatively safe technique or a 135 lb Kung Fu nerd with delusions of power and a multitude of fantasy techniques?

Raw locally obtained dairy is radically different than what is available in the store.Pasteurized dairy made me very ill for many years,I shunned all of it for a long time until I tried the raw stuff and its amazing.

I would also recommend that you read Weston Price Nutrition and Physical Degeneration. It is an excellent starting point to use critical thinking and experimentation to find the right diet for you. I find most people are severely deficient in proper fats thus causing cravings especially late night.

I just had a 3 inch screw removed from my knee after 17 years.Qigong and herbs have been very helpful in my recovery also.

a couple of weeks ago I began learning about tonic mushrooms and then some Reishi started growing in my backyard,very weird because I'm 99% sure they weren't there last year.

I'm recovering from knee surgery last week and can hardly wait to start practicing again.I can probably do some sitting in a chair in a day or two. A few weeks ago I started taking some herbs and the FP had made me very in tune with my nervous system and I am having very noticeable benefits.

for me there is only one way to run...first thing in the morning on an empty stomach in my Vibrams

If you really want to be done with IBS then do a blood test for food sensitivity that is a mediator release test like the on from L.E.A.P. Or you can do like I did and spend several years trying out different diets to no avail,maybe temporary relief and then same old IBS. good luck
