So Dr. Paul Saladino is pushing 'vitamin' A hard. It's something that comes up a lot in his posts, between claiming people aren't getting enough of it, to pushing people to eat organ meats, or buying is organ supplements. I've posted several responses but there are a lot of people who kind of cult-like follow him. It's strange when your eyes are open to something. A lot of people are being poisoned by his advice.
If you feel TIRED, you need to know this…
Your body cannot produce ENERGY if you are deficient in:
Vitamin A, B12, B6 Iron Zinc Selenium
These are the most common nutrient deficiencies in the U.S.
What food contains all these nutrients in the most bioavailable form?

I would love to see what evidence he has to say that vitamin A deficiency is one of the most common deficiency in the US. Even the FDA has said that the reason they don't require Vitamin A listing on labels is because it Vitamin A deficiency doesn't happen anymore.

B6 and iron as well? In general toxicity is actually more of a risk than deficiency with these two. B6 is such a problematic vitamin that I think it may be best to completely avoid supplements containing pyridoxine and to restrict supplemental intakes of pyridoxal to very limited amounts. Anyone with poor liver function is at more risk of B6 poisoning.
Studies show that riboflavin is the most common nutrient deficiency followed closely by thiamine. Riboflavin deficiency or at least insufficiency can be found in well over 50% of the population in many places.
Choline deficiency rates aren't as well studied but are likely to be very high.
When it comes to mineral deficiencies I think magnesium and iodine top the list. Low levels of intracellular magnesium tend to be common due to high rates of insulin resistance. Two molecules that can help to increase insulin sensitivity and help cells get the magnesium they need are lipoic acid and choline.

A carnivore diet where liver is avoided and fruit is eaten is deficient in a variety of nutrients including one many don't consider a nutrient... glucose. Glucose is the number one nutrient for energy!
A carnivore diet is also deficient in thiamine, folate, pantothenic acid, tocopherols, tocotrienols, K1, molybdenum and more.
Eating more meat and eggs isn't a good way for those with liver dysfunction to get more choline either. It's much better to simply take lecithin.

How much lecithin do you take? Eggs push detox too hard in me but I'd like to try lecithin.

What form of iodine do you use? Dr. Smith has me really scared to use lugol's solution, even though I've used it in the past and didn't seem to have any problems with it.

I think it's best to avoid supplementing with higher than RDA amounts of any trace element. I think it's best to get iodine by eating iodine containing foods like canned sardines, canned salmon, eggs, low fat dairy, iodine fortified salt, iodine fortified bread. Avoiding fish is gambling with one's health because it's the only food that is a guaranteed source of DHA, selenium and iodine. Out of fish, lizards, snakes, insects and animal brains it's the only ancestral food left in the modern diet that is a guaranteed source of these nutrients.
I consider taking at least 5 grams of lecithin per day to play an important role in liver support while depleting vA. 5 grams = ~175 mg choline.

@tim-2 another "longevity expert" supplement stack. Fish oil, vit D, vit B6... I mean it can't be worse He probably has no idea about K2, iodine, molybdenum, B1 etc. etc.. It is hilarious how ignorant people can be. He really thinks that he has every aspect of his health under control. It is laughable... He can be just happy that he has ok genetics and that he didn't do any stupid shit like vegan diet for 10 years or drinking bottles of cod liver oil for years or taking accutane, or that he wasn't poisoned with mercury or other toxins etc.. Otherwise his health would be in the toilet as well...

Regarding the thumbnail of that video that Jiri just posted....It makes me sad that so many men shave their heads and I think it isn't a good thing. For one thing, I think it is an obvious sign that mens health/hormones in general are suffering in ways specific to men.
For another, I think hair has an important function. I understand that shaving the head is trendy and a bad hairline isn't. I get that on some men a bald head might be good-looking. But don't forget, nature put hair there and it probably has reasons.
Women, even in high school!, can't seem to let their hair be natural, and I wouldn't be surprised if there are detriments past the chemical exposure (which is nothing to sneeze at) and some of the good effects of hair is ruined for them too.
Whatever the main stream is doing, run the other way.

Good hair is definitely a sign of health. And I think most men look better with a full head of hair. As for the benefits of hair, I can only speculate. It's probably helpful as an insulator: it warms in the winter, cools in the summer. Maybe the brain works better when the temperature is more stable?
I wouldn't say it's a trend to shave your head. It's just the best solution for most men. It's certainly not a good idea to do some sort of weird hair acrobatics like Trump does. Older men can get away with combing their hair over the bald spot, but for young men it is simply not advisable. I'd say the trend is more towards artificial hair maintenance, either through a hair transplant or some form of medication, Propecia and Minoxidil come to mind. Russell Brand has been spotted with a packet of Propecia, there's other celebrities who have confirmed they have a prescription. There's quite a few foodball players who have had hair transplants. It's a huge market, and as men become feminised, infected with an overt concern for their appearance, more and more are willing to pay top money for plastic surgery. Needless to say, any drug has huge drawbacks. Propecia turns men into sexless blobs. It's a similarly disastrous drug to Accutane.
