You aren’t making much sense though. It’s like if you took endocrine physiology and smashed it into a story about a single villain.

Weight gain is typically merely about CICO, barring rare genetic disorders. With an unimpaired metabolism, if you eat excess calories you will gain weight. No hormonal imbalance necessary. This is basic energy expenditure(Calories Out) to calories consumed(Calories In, thus CICO.)

Actual metabolic syndrome afflicts 30-40 percent of Americans. Not anywhere near 96 percent. Some people are just fat and diet and exercise will absolutely work metabolically to control their weight. Some people lack of willpower. Gastric bypass again proves that with caloric reduction their metabolism, in most cases, is fully capable of sustaining weight loss.

Cancer metabolism is also flexible. It does not exclusively depend on glucose and is not “starved” by removing carbs. Fats and amino acids are fair game for many cancers. Gluconeogenesis alone creates sufficient glucose to feed cancer.

4x is quite an exaggeration…

Not much. Alan Watts had interesting talks on this. Myths are just stories. The Bible is just a collection of stories. Religion goes beyond the written stories, sure, but it’s still nothing without them (spoken and written) and everyone has their own personal mythology.

Like many self-described Christians these days think Jesus is weak/woke and what other people(definitely not themselves) really need is tough love not ‘sissy/pussy Jesus love’(choice words I’ve heard at services from the pastor at the podium, along with rantings on how lgbtq will burn in hell and the whole congregation is cheering, crying, and/or talking in tongues… It’s fucking creepy.)

This is especially common in pentecostal and Evangelical sects. Quite rare in mainstream protestantism or Catholicism (though you may get guilt-tripped. My mom said her Sunday school teachers said paying tithings was fire insurance - it keeps you from burning in hell. What a great lesson for children!) Sadly, modern Christianity practice includes things I think would absolutely appall Jesus, canonically. But that’s the great thing about religion, the scriptures are often vague and people genuinely don’t really care about what the Bible actually says unless it’s something they like (Cherry picking, selection/confirmation bias, etc.), like the beatitudes sound great but practicing them is harder than preaching.

More Perfect Union is award-winning independent journalism. Highly credible. YouTube takes down their videos occasionally and they usually get their lawyers to get them back up… So really the issue isn’t if they’re credible, but will YouTube continue to censor them, and they probably will…

Their ideology would fit neatly into leftism/democratic socialism, IMO.

The WHO(and basically the global consensus) minimum suggestion is 0.8 g/kg(so 96g for a 120kg male, while the statistically average 90kg male eats 96g/day instead of only 72g). They further suggest 1.2-1.6 g/kg is the optimal range for recreationally active people. This is beyond biological “requirements.” Also, 0.8 g/kg is still a conservative value that’s probably greater than most under 40s actually need, however tracer studies have suggested 0.9-1.0 g/kg on average(which considers factors beyond MPS) and even more for elderly.

Used to be able to have Bluetooth that could work past two blocks. Turns out thaf was NOT good for the body.

Class 1 Bluetooth devices can reach around 100 meters under ideal unobstructed line-of-sight.

There’s no scientific study to suggest Bluetooth radio frequencies are harmful. They’re very low power and it’s non-ionizing radiation.

Smoking(Polonium and lead, and thousands of carcinogens), UV exposure(sun), radon exposure(usually in homes), and air pollution are all significantly more dangerous than radio frequencies.

Radio frequencies can absolutely microwave (heat) you under specific circumstances. Like at AM/FM and DTV antenna power levels, sure, but only if you’re climbing one of the towers, then sure they can cook you inside-out(with many megawatts of RF energy)… But by the time it gets to even 1 km the power is so low it’s harmless(about a million times weaker than just one meter away, so 1 km away a 1 megawatt antenna would have only 1 watt of energy). Bluetooth class 1 devices top out at 100 milliwatts and consumer-grade WiFi tops out at 1 watt. It would kind of like being afraid of a full moon giving you a sunburn… It’s just not going to happen.

We used to be room mates years ago. He(his dad) owned the house, but he was basically the property manager (we paid rent to him and his dad let him keep the money.) We (other room mates) didn’t really care for the guy(he didn’t really work, besides the occasional side hustle, like doordash). His brother also lived there and didn’t work or pay rent. His brother was fairly normal, albeit a gamer addict(slept during day, gamed all night, likely to maximally avoid the fruitarian). We both liked to cook, so we bonded over that. It was weird because he’d project his mental illness onto his brother and suggest his bro needs professional help. And of course this wasn’t unique to his brother. Then I would suggest something like, “you act like your brother sometimes have you ever considered professional help,” he would go full denial mode.

If he managed to have a poop that would stink then he would then water fast. He’d fast for so long eventually black tarry stool happens. Influencers teach dumdums this is proof your body is detoxing … In reality it’s basically just your stomach digesting itself, and it smells extremely foul. And it’s medically concerning… But to dumdums that’s success I guess?

Hydrogen peroxide isn’t an effective degreaser or solvent or surfactant… It’s a good disinfectant…

Gojo or otherwise citrus cleaner or chemical degreaser would be the logical choices with a soft bristle brush. Dish soap is probably better than most bar soaps. Mineral oil or baby oil might help loosen things up.

After that maybe try topical hydrocortisone or diclofenac for inflammation.

I have a friend that’s a “fruitarian” (he’s been convinced that humans are frugivores by the influencers.) He says he loves pooping, which he says he does about 6 movements a day.

I’ve tried to explain that we’re omnivores and high fruit diets are clinically proven to not be healthy long-term… Dude is skin and bones (he’s literally wasting) and won’t listen. He’ll eat some veggies, but only raw. He avoids anything cooked in anyway because ‘cooking stuff creates toxins and causes disease/cancer and other animals don’t cook their food.’

Nutritional science suggests 9-12 servings of fruits and vegetables daily, but the limit for fruit is 4-5 servings (while there’s no drawback to additional vegetables, but it’s also not significantly (statistically) healthier). Fructose does funny things to metabolism for reasons we don’t fully understand (many claim it acts like a hormone), but the fiber seems to help, though. Juices should be highly limited and basically treated as refined sugar. Science also strongly suggests properly cooking foods…

Eating lots of(or exclusively) raw fruit will most likely result in poorly/partially digested diarrhea, roughly apple sauce consistency and generally still looks more like food than poo(which describes my fruitarian friend’s BMs, which he doesn’t find problematic, apparently he considers it a feature and not a bug – short intestinal transit time is point of pride for him, for some reasons, basically… he thinks if his poop stays in him too long it becomes toxic, so he thinks a normal healthy stool is toxic).

Long term risks include severe nutrient deficiencies that may carry with them permanent physiological damage. Yet he still isn’t convinced by the numerous clinical studies on this … Then again, he also thinks WiFi is unhealthy for some asinine/dubious reasons so he turns off his router at night so it doesn’t disturb his sleep (his roommates plug it right back in, lol.)

He used to eat normally and supported Bernie Sanders. Now he’s technically a raw vegan(he calls himself/humans in general frugivores) and believes so much dumb shit(anti vac, no longer respects trans pronouns, etc), and obviously he started supporting MAGA/Trump, so we don’t talk much anymore.

The problem with realizing that you have cognitive impairments is that you have cognitive impairments. It’s a vicious cycle I’ve sadly seen in multiple raw vegans. The longer they do it, the crazier(delusional, disordered) they get. Like my fruitarian friend doing weeks long water fasts as well… He looks like someone with severe anorexia/bulimia. But oh boy does he pack it in! And within hours it’s squirting out the other end. He’s one of those people that don’t fully close the bathroom door. So everyone can hear the squirts and splashes! Still less annoying than being lectured to about eating healthy by someone as clueless as they are confident… Plus his ‘shit’ doesn’t really stink, as it’s not digested. Another point of pride for him.

We’ve evolved to eat cooked food. Please cook your vegetables, people. Salads are fine but most of our veggies will be very much more digestible and nutritious after being cooked! Some ruffage/raw plants are beneficial, though. Other animals need to chew chud basically all day to meet basic nutritional needs from vegetation. We have cooking, and it’s awesome.

Elimination diet starting with low fodmap foods. Keep a food journal as well. Very effective when paired with an exercise routine as you’ll get a good idea of what foods are bogging you down vs finding ‘clean’ foods.

Developing stamina and endurance with routine cardio is probably the best thing for day to day energy levels. I suggest trying for a solid hour of sustained cardio, whether that’s walking, cycling, running, rowing, or gym equipment like a cross trainer… And remember all it takes is a week off to start losing stamina, so it really needs commitment and consistency.

Just in general digestive-wise, you may benefit from a postprandial walk. Sometimes called a fart walk. XD

That’s not true about mainstream Lutherans…

They’re really nothing like Baptists or evangelicals (which have plenty of overlap being Pentecostal.)

Lutherans still typically serve wine for communion. It’s basically Catholicism lite… Methodists are also mainstream protestants. None of these are Evangelical or Pentecostal or charismatic (no faith healings, no speaking in tongues, no magic underwear, and they do more than missionary work in places that don’t want their missionaries…)

Like my brother’s church, Assembly of God. They’re Evangelical, pentecostal, and charismatic. Most of their offerings go to missions. And they have bios and a world map with colored pins associated with the missionary bios. So many of them are in places that don’t want Christian missionaries… So what do they do? Build a fucking church in a Muslim country where Christianity is banned. So the church got burned down and missionaries were taken hostage… What do they want to do? Pay the ransom and rebuild the church… And brag about sending millions of dollars overseas for this dumb shit. Like… How about invest in the local community?! These places of worship are pathetically parasitic. Now remember, it’s dumb fucks like these (Evangelical Pentecostals, who mainly focus on global mission work) that are the largest majority of Trump’s base. This tracks, sadly. Mission work is an excellent way to traffick people and move/launder dark money, unregulated and tax free!

The average is 7.1 times a week. Clinically average can range from 3x a day to once every 3 days. What’s important is how well they’re formed. Such as the Bristol stool scale - you want something in the middle.

I’ve always found scatology interesting. If you have anymore questions, feel free to let uhm rip.

The average American diet is excessive in protein, very slightly above recommendations regarding total fat(most aren’t getting enough DHA and EPA, though), refined carbs are also excessive, and fiber is typically lacking along with complex carbs.

Most people should be fine adjusting to a high fat diet if they allow enough time for their body to get used to producing the bile necessary for digestion (this takes many months, typically.) But most people don’t enjoy such a diet and a good third will do very poorly from lack of bile/indigestion (some people just have genetically poor fat digestion. Sometimes linked to low bile that doesn’t respond to diet.)

If people had chronic diarrhea like you suggest they would likely suffer from severe dehydration and that could eventually become life-threatening.

Similar projections exist for all major continents.

You can use SOCKS instead of a VPN. SOCKS proxies allow arbitrary socket connections. You can use them for anything. The biggest difference is a VPN routes all(most) your traffic, whereas SOCKS are typically only used for specific(explicit) connections. Both other strong end-to-end encryption, obfuscating what you’re doing.

The good thing is the abundance of residential and mobile SOCKS proxies. So you look like a regular person on the Internet and you’re not using commercial IP ranges.
