I needed to disable self sign-ups because I’ve been getting too many spam-type accounts. Thanks.
Very interesting points - Thank you Grant
Very inspiring update from Grant. The part on sleep improvement is interesting, I have noticed pets falling asleep very easy, and wondered about it. Interesting hypothesis on vitamin C. I havent taken it's sups for long, they did me some good but I didn't like the state of over awakening/excitement they gave, maybe will try again.
Virology appears dodgy to me equally, I suspect that recent events may have been brought by a poisoning/toxicity of some kind, deliberate or not.
Personally, I am very interested in hearing Grant's thoughts.
@are, the world is in turmoil because that which we thought was true is turning out not to be. Sure, it take some nerve to be able to take new information coming to us through researchers like Grant or many doctors and scientists who no longer align with the conventional theories. Accepting that everything we have even known is nothing more than theories which are good until the next theories come around, makes new things a little easier to handle, I think. Also studying different paradigms like Germanic New Medicine for example, opens up new possibilities and brings realisation that we don’t know much at all, regardless of millions of ‘scientific studies’ on webmd.
This is why I am happy to be in a group of people where unpopular topics are discussed without fear.
Hi @daniil,
I typically get about 8 hours per day. But, it varies a bit because I intentionally try to nap for an hour or so in the afternoons on days that I workout. I really don't need the extra sleep, but I just feel that it's beneficial, so like why not.
Thanks for asking.
Grant
I think Grant has to follow his heart, (this is his site after all) and if the rabbit hole is going in a certain direction, so be it! I'll read it!
There is a lot of smartness here --which is also good--and he can bounce his ideas off of so many varying points of view.
I like to hope that if ideas (even the VA thing) are right, they will swim or sink with their own merits.
Can't wait to read Grants thoughts about virology. Now is a perfect time to talk about it too. With the deadliest virus of all time going around.
In the meantime could you post some recommendations on who to read on virology, to catch us up to speed before you come out with your own thoughts.
There are many more deadlier viruses than covid. Like Ebola, Rabies, Smallpox, Hantavirus, Dengue.
I definitely believe in viruses (some alternative thinkers don't) but I don't think we understand all of what they are about, and why they might not always be bad to get. 😉
Pasteur even said the terrain is everything. Do they somehow help the terrain?
Maybe they have their place? Maybe like other germs, they clean house? Or exercise the immune system?
Are they even, to some extent, a sort of euthanasia if you are just suffering on at the end of life? Sir William Osler called pneumonia the friend of the aged...
@lil-chick, or one more “maybe”. Are they simply debris that a sick or toxic cell tries to get rid of! There has never been an isolation of the most recent contender and there has never been a prove that these fragments cause disease. But many ill people seem to have them. So is this the case of the “out coming in” and the “in getting out”? Just musing…
@are, there is absolutely no reason why you should not feel as smart as the rest of people here. We are from all walks of life and experiences.
I get what you are saying and my hunch is that there is nothing to worry about. To me it appears that Grant is not eager to shout about his research from the rooftops or find platforms to promote himself. Walking on eggshells in order to appease the general public and attract the followers doesn’t appears to be his thing.
I am always totally taken with his humility, clarity and generosity with which he shares that which he learned. Only he can answer if he wants to make a career out of this. Personally, I doubt he does.
And those who are not open to discussing topics that have been highjacked by the medical corporations for the purpose of enriching themselves (and maybe even more sinister as well)..well, their loss.
I mostly support what @are is saying. By positing that Vitamin A is nothing but poison, you are already putting up a challenge to the current scientific view that is nearly impossible to win, especially as an individual outside of academia. Every additional challenge just ensures that you stay stuck on the fringe.
I personally think that the most important points to be made are that Vitamin A toxicity is more widespread than is recognized, it's harder to overcome than medical professionals acknowledge, and that carotenoids have been overlooked as a major contributor to health problems.
Questioning currently held beliefs is healthy to a point, but as the human populations continue to grow with more and more minds at work on different scientific topics, it's becoming rapidly less likely that you've discovered a valid concept that other scientists have not seen already. Still possible, just highly unlikely.
Like @lil-chick pointed out, there are a LOT of viruses that have been identified. You can track their mutation rates. You can affect rates of infection with various types of vaccines. You can see them spread between individuals and among populations. You can treat symptoms using compounds with specific anti-viral properties. By all means, keep trying to understand the weak points in field of virology, but questioning the existence of viruses after claiming that Vitamin A has no beneficial function in humans or other animals is going to put you squarely in crazy land (alongside a bunch of the BS circulating on Garrett Smith's site) in the eyes of most people that might otherwise listen to a nuanced discussion of retinoids and the liver.
I should note that Grant is far from the only one who states similar things. Even Ray doesn't seem to believe in the existing concept. He said something about incorrect exosomes when asked. And to stop in research only on the basis of "what will they think?" is just stupid imho.
