Double quarters suck, it dilutes the sauce and therefore the taste that is why an original quarter will always be better.
 
Starting story now.

Go for it..

But remember everybody is different..

Some people can not properly absorb b12 so they need shots..

Skitzophrenics have an unusual need for niacin as much as 30g perday im not even going to calculate how much above RDI that is..

Everybody is different and there is no 1 size fits all approach to nutrition...

People with anxiety disorders require more magnesium,b6 and l-glutamine then others.

People recovering from surgery have a higher need for all vitamins and minerals...

A normal healthy person probably doesnt need vitamins but that is not who i am out to help... A sick person is a whole different story Markos.

You wouldnt tell someone with no legs to squat...
 
I just deleted 500 words.

I'd rather let you guys live in ignorance lol

Keep popping your vitamins, I'll keep popping mandarins, apples, oranges, bananas and grapes.

I work around sick people most nights, I never, ever get sick. My kids and Nina take Vitamins. They get sick. I never get sick. No one on here eats as much as I do, I promise you.

This is one thing I'm not going to share. Change the subject.

Read "Human Nature v Mother Nature" if you want. I know who's side I'm on.

For some reason you seem to think i dont adovate eating food?

I have no idea where you get this from.. Seirously you are basing an argument on me regarding something i havent even said...

Sick people need vitamins and naturally what they need they cant get from diet.

Are you sick? No so you dont need vitmains markos...

Im confused about what you think is being said here and what this whole debate is over...

Your argument towards me is based on something you think i have said not something i have said and its frustrating trying to defend myself from something you think im doing...

Plus its frustrating.

We get it your not sick well guess what not everyone is... If you can show me how you can ingest 30g of niacin a day from food without dying then i am interested to know.
 
Everybody needs vitamins Christian, I thought you were studying nutrition?

Nobody needs artificial vitamins Christian.

You seem to think that Vitamins only exist in bottles, everytime you mention vitamins, your actually referring to supplements.

If you dont believe me, you only need to go back as far as your last post.

To those that are already sick, you should have not neglected food when you were healthy.

For those that dont know, vitamins and minerals are actually found in food, theyre not just found in a pill press.

I read it in a book

Regardless of what they should of done they need help now... How can someone take probiotics for leeky gut if they have a dairy intolerance causing them problems in the first place?

The gut needs ot be healed first then food intolerences will go away..

People come because they have problems...

In regards to vitamin dependancy regarding niacin (b3) you cant get 30g a day from food if you require it...

And the reason some people have such high needs is because of absorbtion issues...

You can say vitamin supplements are worthles because some people do need them..

Just because you do not does not mean that other people do not Markos...

I think you should practice spear through because deadlfits and squats arent a 100% natural movement found in nature..

The same can be said about anything.

Here come the text books to back my point..

Please show me how i can eat a balanced diet including 30g of niacin a day... PLEASE i beg you!!


"Man is a food-dependent creature. If you don't feed him, he will die. If you feed him improperly, part of him will die." (Emanuel Cheraskin, MD, DMD)
Dependency is a fact of life. The human body is dependent on food, water, sleep, and oxygen. Additionally, its internal chemistry is absolutely dependent on vitamins. Without adequate vitamin intake, the body will sicken; virtually any prolonged vitamin deficiency is fatal. Surely this constitutes a dependency in the generally accepted sense of the word.
Nutrient deficiency of long standing may create an exaggerated need for the missing nutrient, a need not met by dietary intakes or even by low-dose supplementation. Recently (1), Robert P. Heaney, M.D., used the term "long latency deficiency diseases" to describe illnesses that fit this description. He writes:
"(I)nadequate intakes of many nutrients are now recognized as contributing to several of the major chronic diseases that affect the populations of the industrialized nations. Often taking many years to manifest themselves, these disease outcomes should be thought of as long-latency deficiency diseases. . . (I)nadequate intakes of specific nutrients may produce more than one disease, may produce diseases by more than one mechanism, and may require several years for the consequent morbidity to be sufficiently evident to be clinically recognizable as "disease." Because the intakes required to prevent many of the long-latency disorders are higher than those required to prevent the respective index diseases, recommendations based solely on preventing the index diseases are no longer biologically defensible."
There are at least two key concepts presented here:
The first is, "Inadequate intakes of specific nutrients may produce more than one disease." This exactly supports Dr. William Kaufman's statements to this effect 55 years ago, when he wrote that, in considering "different clinical entities one cannot exclude the possibility that they may be caused by the same etiologic agent, acting in different ways. For example, in experimental animals, it has been shown that the lack of a single essential nutrient can produce a variety of dissimilar clinical disorders in different individuals of the same species. . . (O)ne might not suspect that the same etiologic factor, lack of a specific essential nutrient, was responsible for each of the various clinical syndromes of the same tissue deficiency disease which is permitted to develop at different rates in different individuals of the same species." (2)
While amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, progressive muscular atrophy, progressive bulbar palsy, and primary lateral sclerosis are not all the same illness, they and the other neuromuscular diseases may have a common basis: unacknowledged, untreated long-term vitamin dependency. Therefore, each may respond to an orthomolecular approach such as that successfully used by Dr. Frederick R. Klenner (3) for multiple sclerosis and myasthenia gravis, half a century ago.
The second key point Dr. Heaney makes is that vitamin "intakes required to prevent many of the long-latency disorders are higher than those required to prevent the respective index diseases." This confirms Dr. Abram Hoffer's observations to this effect some 40 years ago, when he treated prisoners of war presenting severe, protracted nutrient deficiencies.
Dr. Hoffer wrote (4) that when released, after as much as 44 months of captivity, "only 75 percent had survived. They had lost about one-third of their body weight. In camp they suffered from classical scurvy, beriberi, pellagra, many infections, and from protein and calorie deficiency. They were rehabilitated in hospitals and were given doses of vitamins that were then considered high. Since then these Hong Kong veterans have suffered from a variety of physical and psychiatric conditions." However, "the history of a small sample, about 12, is much different, for they have been taking nicotinic acid (niacin) 3 grams per day. These 12 have recovered and remain well as long as they take this quantity of vitamin regularly.
"About 35 years ago (in the 1930s and 1940s) it was reported that some chronic pellagrins required at least 600 milligrams per day of vitamin B3 to prevent the return of pellagra symptoms. This was astonishing then and unexplainable since pellagra as a nicotinic acid deficiency disease should have yielded to vitamin (small) doses. Today the concept of vitamin-dependency disease has developed. It is based upon the realization that there is a much wider range of need for nutrients than was believed to be true then.
"A person is said to be vitamin dependent if his requirements for that vitamin are much greater (perhaps 100-fold greater or more) than is the average need for any population. The optimum need is that quantity which maintains the subject in good health, not that quantity which barely keeps him free of pellagra. From this point of view the Hong Kong veterans have become vitamin B-3 dependent as a result of severe and prolonged malnutrition. It is likely that any population similarly deprived of essential nutrients for a long period of time will develop one or more dependency conditions."
Thirty years ago, in another paper (5), Dr. Hoffer made this statement:
"The newer concept of vitamin-dependent disease changes the emphasis from simply dietary manipulation to consideration of the endogenous needs of the organism. It comes within the field of orthomolecular disease. . . The borderline between vitamin deficiency and vitamin-dependency conditions is merely a quantitative one when one considers prevention and cure." (p. 251)
The differentiation between deficiency and dependency is dose. Every patient that was ever helped by high-dose nutrient therapy lends support to the concept of vitamin dependency. By the same token, symptoms resulting from inappropriate and abrupt termination of large doses of nutrients provide equally good evidence for vitamin dependency. While deprivation of low doses of vitamin C causes scurvy, abrupt termination of high maintenance doses may cause its own set of problems. Called "rebound scurvy," this includes classical scorbutic symptoms, as well as a predictable relapse of illness that had already responded to high-dose therapy.
Writes Robert F. Cathcart, M.D.:
"There is a certain dependency on ascorbic acid that a patient acquires over a long period of time when he takes large maintenance doses. Apparently, certain metabolic reactions are facilitated by large amounts of ascorbate and if the substance is suddenly withdrawn, certain problems result such as a cold, return of allergy, fatigue, etc. Mostly, these problems are a return of problems the patient had before taking the ascorbic acid. Patients have by this time become so adjusted to feeling better that they refuse to go without ascorbic acid. Patients do not seem to acquire this dependency in the short time they take doses to bowel tolerance to treat an acute disease. Maintenance doses of 4 grams per day do not seem to create a noticeable dependency. The majority of patients who take over 10-15 grams of ascorbic acid per day probably have certain metabolic needs for ascorbate which exceed the universal human species need. Patients with chronic allergies often take large maintenance doses.
"The major problem feared by patients benefiting from these large maintenance doses of ascorbic acid is that they may be forced into a position where their body is deprived of ascorbate during a period of great stress such as emergency hospitalization. Physicians should recognize the consequences of suddenly withdrawing ascorbate under these circumstances and be prepared to meet these increased metabolic needs for ascorbate in even an unconscious patient. These consequences of ascorbate depletion which may include shock, heart attack, phlebitis, pneumonia, allergic reactions, increased susceptibility to infection, etc., may be averted only by ascorbate. Patients unable to take large oral doses should be given intravenous ascorbate. All hospitals should have supplies of large amounts of ascorbate for intravenous use to meet this need." (6)
This need is especially serious for the cancer patient, whose exceptionally positive response to mega-ascorbate therapy, and dramatically negative response to ascorbate deprivation, is the very picture of vitamin dependency. Linus Pauling colleague Ewan Cameron, M.D., wrote:
"Ascorbate, however administered, is rapidly excreted in the urine, so that administration should be continuous or at very frequent intervals. Furthermore, exposure to high circulating levels of ascorbate induces over-activity of certain hepatic enzymes concerned with its degradation and metabolism. These enzymes persist for some time after sudden cessation of high intakes, resulting in depletion of circulating levels of ascorbate to well below normal unsupplemented values. This is known as the rebound effect. It causes a sharp decrease in immunocompetence and must be avoided in the cancer patient. Clinical experience has shown that the best responses are observed when vitamin C is administered intravenously, so insuring a high plasma level. However, because long-term continuous intravenous administration is impractical, we recommend an initial intravenous course of ten days duration, followed by continuous maintenance oral regimen." (7)
In short, the body only misses what it needs. That is dependency.
The destructive consequences of alcohol and other negative drug dependencies are taught in elementary schools. At the same time, the consequences of ignoring our positive nutrient dependencies go largely undiscussed even in medical journals. Vitamin dependencies induced by genetics, diet, drugs, or illness are most often regarded as medical curiosities. The Hoffer-Osmond discovery that schizophrenics, forming about one or two percent of the population, are dependent on multi-gram doses of niacin, remains a psychiatric heresy. The Irwin Stone-Linus Pauling idea of population-wide, genetically-based hypoascorbemia has received negative attention, when it has received any attention at all. Yet, writes Dr. Emanuel Cheraskin, "hypovitaminosis C is a very real and common, probably epidemic, problem which clearly has not been properly viewed and surely not adequately reported." (8)
This is not a total surprise. It took decades for medical acknowledgement that biotin and vitamin E are actually essential to health.
Simple cause-and-effect micronutrient deficiency, a doctrine long enamored of by the dietetic profession, is not always sufficient to explain persistent physician reports of megavitamin cures of a number of diseases outside the classically accepted few. Perhaps it is a law of orthomolecular therapy that the reason one nutrient can cure so many different illnesses is because a deficiency of one nutrient can cause many different illnesses.
And if nutrient deficiency is basically about inadequate intake, then dependency is essentially about heightened need. As a dry sponge soaks up more milk, so a sick body generally takes up higher vitamin doses. The quantity of a nutritional supplement that cures an illness indicates the patient's degree of deficiency. It is therefore not a megadose of the vitamin, but rather a megadeficiency of the nutrient that we are dealing with. Orthomolecular practitioners know that with therapeutic nutrition, you don't take the amount that you believe ought to work; rather, you take the amount that gets results. The first rule of building a brick wall is that you have got to have enough bricks. A sick body has exaggeratedly high needs for many vitamins. We can either meet that need, or else suffer unnecessarily.
Until the medical professions fully embrace orthomolecular treatment, "medicine" might well be said to be "the experimental study of what happens when poisonous chemicals are placed into malnourished human bodies."

I wouldnt enjoy it as much Andy.

I see you quoted another book Christian. I'm not surprised.

Are you surprised I didnt read it?

Its not a book actually its an independent website that isnt accepted by the "establishment"..

I now think of myself as someone showing PT's your news letter and them saying "doesnt sound right to me" ...

Because that article and other things i post are like your newsletters of the "nutrition world"....

Oooh, oooho, the Establishment Is Against Us! We must be right, then. That everyone says we're wrong PROVES we must be right! It's a conspiracy!

"You can't handle the truth!"

Whenever someone says that, my bullshit meter pings loudly. It's usually just an excuse for stupid ideas backed by nothing but hot air and a strong desire to rake in large amounts of cash. Or some kind of adolescent rebellion.

Depends which PT. To me, 99% of it sounds right. If you want to get strong, good advice. Nutrition advice, well it's a bit dodgy. But so what? You don't ask your dietician how to do a barbell squat, you're not going to ask your strength coach for a meal plan. Some might but they are idiots so they deserve what they get. Nobody follows anyone's nutrition advice for more than five minutes anyway, so no harm done.

SO Kyle why doesnt the government reccomend squats and deadlifts and HIT?

Instead it reccomends gardening eating grains and soy?

You make me just so mad when you get on your high and mighty in an attempt to rubbish me at any chance you do get.. I could sit here all day belittling things you say but i dont.. Why because it isnt worth it.

You seem to have built something here because you post long novels and claim to be so idepth about things. Yet when it comes down to it you rubbish anyone who thinks differently into the adolescent catagory when it doesnt fit your liking.

Here is a quote that i think fits this nicley... Its from Americas leading TRT expert. Light years ahead of any endo,gp dr.. This is someone in the field, and they can see past the smoke and mirrors.. Your looking from across town and have come to a conclusion.

Im sorry Kyle governemtn reccomendations for everything are best and we wont ever step outside the box with proper thinking. You clearly know nothing about Pharmacutical companies influencing journals and journals influencing government regulation...


Ya, and he claims he "knows" the top people at A4M. I have traveled the world with these folks, co-hosting, moderating, and teaching, and I promise you not one of them would be caught dead with Mr. Scally.

So how exactly does he justify his firmly entrenched conventional medical position AND "steroids for health"?

Part of his problem (amongst many) is he has no clinical practice--therefore no clinical experience. Sorry, promoting dope on the Internet, where he Practices Medicine Without a License, does not count. So he has no opportunity to actually see these modalities in practice. All he can do is read studies, and pretend (though he fools no one of common sense) that somehow makes him an expert. Never mind the tens of thousands of doctors, all over the world, who are successfully treating the patients failed by those who think like him (except the criminal part, of course).

IF he would just endeavor to actually learn how the body works. Instead, he relies upon the conventional medical community's rigid jack-booted march. Hardly quite what we would call "cutting edge", which is precisely why people go to the 'Net--for what they cannot get from their local doctors.

Mr. Scally apparently does not realize papers get published which support BigPharma--who pays the bills for the magazines. How many times have we seen peer-reviewed articles--ESPECIALLY attacking our field--which not only are not worth the paper they are printed on, but are actually detrimental to the health and welfare of the population? Or the long lag, perhaps a decade, between the birth of an idea and its appearance in the journals.

Or, apparently, the fact peer-review journals do not publish simple how-to manuals.

Remember the NEJM paper on TRT of two weeks ago?

How about the anti-GHRT paper by Tommy Perls in JAMA a few years ago. There are countless examples such as these, as the conventional medical commuity feeds at the trough of BigPharma. Ya, Mikey, evidence-based medicine ALWAYS is. LOL

Basically, if Mr. Scally just didn't act like such a jerk all the time, we could suffer his profound ignorance.

Its not so much a conspiracy its just hat the world is full of ignorant people woh comment on things thye know nothing about and think that the government knows best on everything...

Also if you want to talk about $$$ Kyle.. Do some research into a few things..

Things like chemo credits.

Also things like antidepressants are drugs supposibly designed for acute treatments of disorders yet we keep people on them for life..

If you want to follow money your are looking in the wrong direction. No one smaking money on whole natural food and not eating crap.. After all you cant patent something that is natural..

Then you see things like "only a drug can cure prevent or treat any disease" from the AMA and FDA of america..

Hmmm you want to talk about money? Dont even start me... But before you do i suggest you know exactly what you are talking about, and not what you 'think'.
 
Markos i remember i made a comment about deadlifts, and being stronger with the bar heigher then ground... I made the mistake of assuming everybody had the same problems strengths and weaknesses... You corrected me...

Dont do the same thing my friend...

Im not posting in here again it isnt worth the cortisol..
 
Im not posting in here again.

Cool. This thread is starting (ok IS) pretty crazy.

A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing. I don't know everything about everything. I don't know a lot about a lot. I know very little bit about a lot. I'm happy to learn.
 
Hey, I want some of this.

Anyone who claims my nutrition information is dodgy is invited to pose for a pic beside Max, then a fat test, followed by a lift off, you choose the exercise.

He is the only client I feed and train.

You up for it Kyle? Got any clients up for it?

Interestingly enough, I had an independant guy come and take bodyfat % of PTC clients. For the challenge.

Max was the leanest male and Nina the leanest female.

What else do I honestly have to do?

Quote a text book?

Please enlighten us on my dodgy nutrition information Kyle.

What a load of garbage Christian. Do you honestly believe me telling people to squat and press is lab coat info lol.

You dont live in the "nutrition world"...you live in the pill world, remember. Nutrition comes from food, or have you forgotten?

God I love this shit lol
