Maybe because you never sent me any clearly articulated information. And now you try to claim what ever you want to.

Afair, none of your sources for example succinctly mentioned the critical importance of soluble fiber.

And you always emphasized keeping my body in ketogenesis and thus that means consuming no glucose, which thus means consuming no carbs. If you meant something else, then you should write it. Don't link me all to 1000 pages of research and expect me to extract it from there.

And WTF is up with the lunatic comments. I have been quiet lately only posting a few posts per day and only in 3 threads, while trying to work and work on my health. Am I a lunatic because I can't afford to go get exhaustive diagnostic tests in a Western quality medical system. Am I a lunatic because I write against socialism and I would refuse to avail of State funded medical care. Am I a lunatic because think Greece is doing it to itself because the Greeks are socialists (while you'd rather blame Obama and Armstrong for Greece's problems). Am I a lunatic because I said I am working on Ion. Am I a lunatic because I continue to suffer from ill health and often write about my experiments and research with it. Precisely why am I a lunatic? Because I tried in the past to develop an altcoin and didn't release one? But I never took any investment from investors in 2014. I explained what I was working on, what code I wrote. And that was all factual. For example, the Blake2 code I wrote in Javascript in 2014 was recently ported to Scala and I even sent a copy to smooth in a private message. Yeah work proceeds slowly when someone is sick and in bed every day.

You come in here and try to write some hallucination about Armstrong colluding with the Fed. I state that is really unlikely. So then you go ballastic on me. What ever.

And one of the themes of Paleo is that hunter-gathers didn't cultivate grains. And thus all carbos would be in the forms of say nuts and fruits. But again nuts and fructose are poisons in abundance. So where we are going to get our carbs. Never once did you emphasize to me white rice and sweet potato.


Hope you are not conflating calories and carbohydrates.

Holy crap, who said a paleo or even keto is carb free?? lol

EDIT: Paleo -> low carb, Keto -> Very low carb (between 25-50 NET gr of carbs)

EDIT2: Maybe you did the most common mistake (I did it too) that you were not counting NET carbs so effectively the carbs you were taking were way lower than you should!

I stopped reading here - I did not even read what you write, it is noise to me as is this long post again.

Less is more.

EDIT: I never advised you anything specific because you are a lunatic. I wanted you to do your own research and I did not have the time (where do you find time posting all these, you were supposed to change the world with Ion) and did not want to get accused of anything (oh the irony).

I just gave you sources (which you did not have the time to read you said).

Perhaps because I recently repeated over and over that only coconut and olive oil have the medium-chain acids which go directly to the liver and form ketones. And the coconut contains acids which are therapeutic to healthy gut.

Indeed you turned me on to the concepts of Paleo, ketonic, and fasting in 2014 when I didn't know what was causing my CFS and was suspecting only the HPV infection. But the problem was your information wasn't specific enough about which foods. I ended up making a lot of mistakes from your information. For example, at one point I was eating a smorgasbord of veggies, including nightshades! Also at one point eating only carrots. And then later eating only meat, and not realizing that omega-6 is a toxin. And the impact of grass fed or not. Also when I was eating leafy greens I was choosing petchay which is a farmed product (thus pesticides) and now I am eating only wild greens that aren't farmed.

Many other details that really were not well illuminated until I read for example gutcritters.com and that site is not primarily sourcing from only your Gods.

Come on man come off your throne and back to down to earth with the rest of us mortals.


Also none of your sources made me aware that we need carbohydrates (soluble fiber) to keep the gut moving along to maintain gut health. And that white rice is much better than anything with any other grain. And that sweet potato (and even potato if not green) is also good but is much higher in insoluble fiber. And not eating the skin of the potato nor frying the potato in any oil other than coconut or olive.

We need a balance of these foods. The foods we don't need are the ones which are poison, such as most grains (other than rice), meats which are not grass fed, fish that is not wild, nuts, legumes, juices, other than occasional fruit, anything with corn syrup or fructose or just say any thing that comes from a factory or a farm and not wild! And then avoiding wild foods that nature protected with a natural coating which is a pesticide.

Also I don't think fasting is really good for someone with gut dysbiosis. Fasting is a reset and it can allow the bad bacteria to take over. It is better to eating regularly and promoting the health of the mucus and good bacteria in the gut. I think you put too much emphasis on ketones which is only one aspect of holistic health. Rather I think the key insight is to understand the body is more microflora than it is cells! And we don't eat food, we manufacture food in the gut. The mitochondria doesn't consume protein, rather it consumes from processes that consume amino acids which are derived from the protein in foods we eat. Our digestion is who we are. Proteins and sugars that aren't digested and with a leaky gut can go directly into the blood stream causing autoimmunity.

I did so many 8 - 24 hour fastings in 2014 as a natural feature of living alone, not cooking and being often too busy on the computer to drive 30 minutes to go find cooked food. Then my glucose would spike once I would eat, and my autoimmunity would always go crazy after eating. Rather now I am trying to keep my glucose level and supplement with ketones to reduce the level of glucose I am producing. Thus not eating too much rice and often eating instead sweet potato or just vegetables or coconut, then sometimes wild caught fresh tuna fish. And now my autoimmunity seems to spike less. I am getting some severe, sustained Herxheimer effects now though and I am not sure if that is holistic autoimmunity or if this is a hurdle on the way to improvement (die off of bad bacteria). My condition is so variable (changes often every 15 minutes) that I grow weary trying to track a diary of effects. I can just say that my gut effects such as gas and differing pains and sensations (even in different regions as food tracks through) are much more pronounced and varied now recently with all the changes to diet. I guess the challenge since the 10 day fast in late August has been how to get enough energy into my body without also exacerbating the autoimmunity, with the concomitant issue that my gut dysbiosys is probably not converting my food to useful energy at high efficiency so then I need to overcome food which isn't digested with enzymes and instead leaks undigested into my bloodstream causing autoimmunity. I've been ramping up differing foods and observing the effects of each. This is all very complex and far too many variables to make a scientific analysis. It is more of a gut feel (the pun is applicable). It is very difficult to discern what is working and what is not because I think I am simultaneously getting negative effects from positive actions in the form of a Herxheimer reaction, but again this is not certain either. My thesis right now is that eat regularly and eat correctly and let the body reattain homeostasis. The body was not designed to eat only once a day or fast often. The body was also not designed to eat most of the crap we eat in the modern world. So that doesn't mean eat nuts and only egg yokes. Or any other silly extreme. Rather eat wild meats (especially fish) and eat soluble and insoluble fiber that grows in the wild but make sure nature's pesticides have been removed (which is nearly impossible for grains other than rice and for most nuts and legumes).

Also in 2014 I was using various supplements to mask over the underlying problems such as EGCG for mental clarity, CoQ10 for instant energy, and high dose vitamin D3 for regulating the autoimmunity. But these were hiding what was really going on. Now I am not using any of that, so I can listen to what is really going in my body.

Also we need fermented foods to maintain our gut microflora.

And probably we can benefit from drinking raw milk from a grass fed animal because of the natural enzymes, but I have yet to test this theory.

I don't understand how an MRI confirmation of effects in the brain would change anything in my treatment options? So what is your point then.

Whether an MRI came back positive or negative wouldn't change a damn thing about what I can attempt to do to treat my symptoms. I won't be taking interferon in any case.

And do you think the welts I am getting on the back of my head and wet towel draped over my head are not autoimmunity then what the hell could it possibly be. Come on.

The diagnostic tools that would be more useful to me are the measurements for leaky gut and also a colonoscopy, etc.. But you think I trust these killers here in the Philippines to do that! Hell no. Even I went to seek an an ophthalmologist on Wednesday and all three were not present at the hospital. The only one that will be available this week, will only be in the office for 2 hours to see 8 patients! Do you think I trust the labs here after I observe a filipino can never do the same task the same way numerous times without making a mistake because they were distracted by some social interaction. Even at the top hospital here in Davao, they don't even have a stool test for E.coli nor Salmonella. We are still in the Stone Age over here.

After my eye incident, I could still see, just the lens had fallen into the eye. After (at St. Lukes in Manila) they gave me an intern to operate on my eye, I was blinded!

The doctor who (mis)handled my acute peptic ulcer had done a J-pop on a foreigner and now that young man will be on morphine for the rest of his life because the doctor butchered him so badly! When I went to followup and was suffering CFS, he remarked, "you look stressed, try to take more vitamins and sleep more". He was going to prescribe NSAIDs which are known to worsen gut dysbiosis. He offered no suggest on diet nor any probiotics or nothing of the sort!

Indeed when I have some money to travel I could consider diagnostic tools. At the moment, I have $5000 left in my entire net worth and once that is gone I can go eat grass.

So there is some reality here which you are not factoring...

TPTB do what you want man, I really wish you success, just don't do the same mistakes me & countless others have done in the past (some I knew died in the process, seriously) because the most important thing is to EXCLUDE low hanging fruits in the diagnosis.
If you can't find a diagnosis (where is House MD?) then you are in deep shit.

Then try to combat this without classical medicine (cut, poison, burn, molecular biology charlatans, drug cartels, etc) as you think best.

I am out.

I was doing Paleo/Keto, Crossfit & Intermittent fasting when you were thinking you had CFS...

Nuts I ate, were very specific in quantity and quality because I needed the fat (now I have switched to coconut).

Enlighten yourself (again, I knew about phytates/lectins when you... How? http://www.staffanlindeberg.com/)

You do understand that every source you post (Daily Apple, Chris Kresser, etc) have 3 teachers:

Staffan, Phinney and Rose.


Trust me, I have met online much more intelligent men than you in the old Mind&Muscle forum. You should have tried to play it a smart ass there too...

EDIT: Forgot Cordain and maybe Taubes.

Hypochondriac? Do you not understand what it is like to be sick every day of your life! Fuck man. I don't know what symptoms you are experiencing and how frequently, but my symptoms can be daily wherein I am not only in pain but experiencing such low energy that I can't hold my body up or hold my eyes open. If you don't understand what it is like to grit your teeth every minute of every hour of every day of every week of every month of every year, then I all I can wish for you is to get more sick so that you can be less of an asshole.

I am fighting every day to get cured. I did as much exercise as I could physically do without making myself so sick I might just die on the spot. I literally pushed myself into a fever just recently with a combination of diet and exercise pushed to the extreme. I am giving every thing I have of myself to try to get healthy so I can perform at a high level. I am not leaving any thing on the table. This is like a world championship match and I will not leave the game with anything left in the tank. I am not holding anything back in my effort to be healthy and productive.

Yeah your doctors have helped you precisely how? They can't do a damn thing for you, because modern medicine doesn't understand that immunity and nutrition are interrelated and neither functions without the microflora (which are more numerous than the cells in our body!). If you want to actually cure yourself, you need to change your diet. But yet you continue eating nuts (which are toxic because nature designed them to have a natural pesticide).  

Note I was hardly ever sick before destroying my gut in the Philippines starting in 1991. I was an Ironman and athletic specimen. So please don't lecture me about Hypochondriac.

Lol. You are a clown man.

My PPMS has no official protocol even if I was listening to doctors regarding TREATMENT/THERAPY.

Go do a fuckin MRI (Diagnosis low hanging fruit).

If you are implying in any way that Marty is not honest and fully transparent, then I think you are very poor judge of sincerity.

Whether the FED used Marty as a pawn to disseminate the real reason for the lack of a rate rise and other theories about geopolitics, is conspiracy theory. I think rather you will find there are vested interests in geopolitics but Marty is correct that no one is really in control.

I do think there are powerful groups that try to corrupt the nations of the world, to protect their business interests. This geopolitics is very complex and it is not some simple thing as Obama vs. Eurobloc. Rather it is multi-dimensional and you'll likely find complicity between Europe elite and USA elite, and Obama is just a puppet.

The populace is complicit too because they love socialism.

Certainly Marty is not complicit in any such geopolitics.


I don't have brain cancer. When I first experienced the M.S. effect of feeling that I had a wet towel draped over my head, I contemplated cancer. That was because I didn't even consider M.S. nor a theory connecting my crazy abuse of my gut over the past years (along with a virulent HPV infection) to the illness I have. I have also experienced regular CFS as another effect of this illness.

I have gut dysbiosys, which is causing autoimmunity of which M.S. is one of the effects of autoimmunity. This is crystal clear because what I eat and how my gut is performing directly correlates to the types and level of autoimmunity dysfunction. And this is correlated down to the 15 minute intervals. It is so damn predictable by now.

There is the argument that perhaps the autoimmunity is driving the gut dysbiosys, not vice versa. But this doesn't make any sense to me, because what would be the cause of the autoimmunity? My case history is so heavily weighted to gut abuse, it is beyond obvious that is the likely causation. However, the two are likely symbiotic by now, with each driving the other to worsen. Breaking this symbioses is apparently a monumental hurdle (perhaps this is why only repeated fecal transplant can do it).

For example, in the period from 2008 to 2012 where there was a gradual progression in symptoms starting with aching feet when standing more than an hour and sporadic fatigue, I was drinking pineapple juice by the liter daily, eating brown rice that didn't even have the hull removed (fuck!!), and was eating imported beans (red, lima, black, and black-eye peas) daily. I was even eating whole wheat tortillas.

Massive fructose, brown rice hulls poison, legumes poison! No wonder I ended up with gut dysbiosis. The straws that broke the camel's back were two several gut infections I caught (on top of numerous ones I had caught and treated with antibiotics in the Philippines over the years since 1994), one in late 2011 from a girl in Cebu and this one made me so ill than I had ever been before from a gut infection. I was just recovering from that and then another girl in Davao gave me another gut infection circa March or April 2012. That last one lingered and also given my poor diet, then by May 2012 I ended up in ER and ICU with an acute peptic ulcer that had exploded and I was leaking acid into my abdominal cavity and my organs were tearing which means my abdomen bloated up like a balloon.

The stupid doctors here in the Philippines implicated an h.pylori infection (confirmed from stool tests) and they put me on massive doses of antibiotics and PPIs. These atrocities of modern medicine are known to cause gut dysbiosys. I ended up with a fungal infection down in my colon. Briefly I tried antifungal medicines which are very toxic and I had to stop because they were so caustic.

At that same time I was trying to recover from this my ex had arrived in Philippines unannounced and yanked my kids back to the USA, which was added considerable stress such that I was in a constant of "fight or flight" adrenaline rush. This was also the reason I made very chaotic investment decisions right at that time (June - August 2012) which caused me to lose $75,000.

I remember every time I would eat peanuts or cashews around that time, the fungal infection in the colon would flare up really bad.

I did take some priobiotics around August or Sept and also some high dose vitamin D3, and then suddenly I was feeling normal again.

But I guess I stopped thinking I was cured and by November or so 2012, the autoimmunity returned and it was worse with red bumps all over my chest and neck, tinnatus, inability to swallow, etc.. I tried homemade colodial silver thinking it was the HPV infection. I even did massive dose of AHCC during 2013 - 2014 thinking it was HPV. It is possible I still had lingering HPV infection as well as the gut dysbiosys.

But I wasn't exactly eating correctly for the gut dysbiosys. I was eating a lot of spaghetti during 2013 for example. And not enough vegetables. Even when I was eating white rice, I was eating it with chicken which is laden with hormones, and the chicken that is not grass fed is thus even more omega-6 toxic.

I was from November 2012 onwards that I noticed there was this persistent weakness/pain/discoloration in my abdomen that limited for example the former power and energy with which I used to be able to run long distance competitively.

It appears the gut dysbiosys worsened significantly in 2014 in spite of taking various supplements and even experimenting with different foods. I think this was primarily due to eating irregularly and not eating the carefully selected foods needed to correct the gut microflora. And not supplementing with probiotics (e.g. the Kombucha tea I am taking daily now).

Also when my current gf moved in with me several months ago, I began eating regularly but too much on chicken, beef, and pork. We nearly stopped eating fish and vegetables entirely (she doesn't like vegetables). Also I was thinking paleo was all fats and no carbs, so I cut out the white rice and was nearly exclusively eating omega-6 poison meats for the past several months!

So basically up until August 2015, I had done every possible mistake I could do.

I am now at a crossroads. I am doing what I need to do to impact my gut microflora. And I am getting a lot of feedback from my body, including what appears to be recurrent Herxheimer reactions. But I just don't  know yet if I am making progress. There was a long period of destroying my health, so restoring my health may not be instant or may not even be possible. I am still hopeful I can restore my health with diet, but the fecal transplant remains my plan B if diet fails.

How is your M.S.? Are you still eating nuts which are a poison? Doctors are really able to help guide you well huh. Just like they did for me.

Why these guys talk about $20 billion instead of $3 billion?

If they cannot get this basic fact straight I wonder what's worth the remainder of their analysis.

I did not ask for correlation of MA's analysis with the report but how he is related to it (is he an author of it?).
You do understand that the FED can't say officially that they did not raise the rates because of Deutche Bank?
But the message will find a way to the public.
MA played this role well (with his 'sources').
I see no conspiracy theory.

How is your CFS brain cancer MS?

Nascent block chain technology seems to be outside of Armstrong's radar in terms of a future trend. Martin has noted the move towards digital currency.


2024.35 is the last 4.3 year turn date for a private (anti-government) wave on the ECM before the 309.6 year turn at 2032.95 which marks the end of Western civilization as dominant and the maximum move to private before the next 51.6 wave which will be a gradually rising public (government) confidence. We've been in a gradually rising private wave (loss of confidence in government) over the past 51.6 years which will reach its crescendo 2032.95. So yes 2024.35 is very significant because 2020.05 Asia will bottom and so we will see 4.3 years of rising confidence in government in Asia, and the West will fall over the cliff into the abyss and capitulate to decentralized technology by 2024.35.





klee I don't think Armstrong has any agenda. It is all science for him. You look silly to me when you concoct conspiracy theories linking the puppet Obama with Armstrong. The reality is much more sober or plegmatic.

For a while I thought Armstrong might be complicit in pushing for world reserve currency and coordinated government nationalizations of stocks for bonds swaps, but later comments by him revealed he is just ignorant about the fact that Euro was a planned failure by the Rockefellers and that he is just advocating any solution which he feels could minimize the suffering and he is well aware that government will never be truly reformed.

Maybe nothing. I think though he's talking on WEC in Berlin by November, no?

What has Armstrong to do with this report?

Shift 16: Bitcoin and the Blockchain
The tipping point: 10% of global gross domestic product (GDP) stored on blockchain technology
Expected date: 2027
By 2025: 58% of respondents expected this tipping point to have occurred
Bitcoin and digital currencies are based on the idea of a distributed trust mechanism called the “blockchain”, a way of
keeping track of trusted transactions in a distributed fashion. Currently, the total worth of bitcoin in the blockchain is around
$20 billion, or about 0.025% of global GDP of around $80 trillion.
Positive impacts
–Increased financial inclusion in emerging markets, as financial services on the blockchain gain critical mass
–Disintermediation of financial institutions, as new services and value exchanges are created directly on the blockchain
–An explosion in tradable assets, as all kinds of value exchange can be hosted on the blockchain
–Better property records in emerging markets, and the ability to make everything a tradable asset
–Contacts and legal services increasingly tied to code linked to the blockchain, to be used as unbreakable escrow or
programmatically designed smart contracts
–Increased transparency, as the blockchain is essentially a global ledger storing all transactions

The shift in action

Smartcontracts.com provides programmable contracts that do payouts between two parties once certain criteria have
been met, without involving a middleman. These contracts are secured in the blockchain as “self-executing contractual
states”, which eliminate the risk of relying on others to follow through on their commitments.

I believe this is the first time Armstrong is involved into a prediction that contains Bitcoin. If he got this right, we're talking about major shift in global economy.

Anyone know Martin Armstrong's opinion on bitcoin in the recent events?

Especially this report done by the WEF World Economic Forum - http://www3.weforum.org/docs/WEF_GAC15_Technological_Tipping_Points_report_2015.pdf

Coindesk Article: http://www.coindesk.com/world-economic-forum-governments-blockchain/

What happens after the crisis in confidence in the government? What is the nature of the "reset"?

If we believe that history will repeat itself, then governments will have a very hard time raising money after the reset. They will need to offer extraordinarily high interest rates on bonds. In Ancient Greece, MA notes that governments had to offer 20-40% annual interest to creditors and even then, the government often had to get a wealthy citizen to co-sign the loan. People simply didn't trust the government to pay them back and governments often didn't.

And because governments will have such a hard time raising money, entitlements will suffer. Government pension funds, disability funds, etc. will simply run out of money. Government will shrink. But before they shrink, they will desperately begin to raise money through taxes. Real property, being the most visible and easily taxed form of property, will suffer the most. In Rome, Martin Armstrong notes, people simply walked away from their properties because it was cheaper than paying the exorbitant taxes. So this is why MA is predicting a very long down-cycle in real estate.

Gold, he warns, is not easy to travel with and not easy to pay people with. So it doesn't seem that he thinks we'll return to a gold standard. What exactly does he think will happen after the reset?

Definitely.

Different cities in Canada are hugely different in terms of cold. Vancouver is hardly cold at all (by comparison, Calgary is extremely cold) and is closer to Asia than other major cities in Canada (closer to Beijing than Melbourne for example). Also has strong cultural ties with Asia after decades of immigration.

I'm less familiar with Australian cities, but I would guess some of the same.
