I quote some bullshit from that sales pitch:

Quote
You’d get sick if you had 18 tablespoons of coconut oil, but you’ll feel great on 1 tablespoon of Brain Octane, the most potent extract of coconut oil (caprylic acid).

I eat more coconut meat than that every day. Doesn't make me feel sick at all.

And why do you insist you have MS?

Can you list the symptoms? They don't look at me at all as classical MS symptoms.

Are you sure they are not something else? Even if the symptoms are MS like you should always look for confirmation.

I know there are no experts there and maybe you can't afford an MRI now (do a fundraise I will support) but it is you who shoot in the dark right now not me (referring to your PM).

Try to get serious, self diagnosis through Internet is not the best way to address this.

Please stop PMing about your research and health updates, I wish you luck with your research and health management but I don't need your lights.

Peace.

Keto doesn't do a damn thing to stop my gut from aching which always correlates with the back of my head aching and the onslaught of CFS.

Fasting for 10 days did, because there was nothing in my gut at all. But once I put any food back in there, even just vegetables and MCT oil, the pains came back.
MCT oil? Be careful.

Effects on carbs on fatty acid metabolism:


Can you understand the implications?
865  Economy / Economics / Re: Economic Totalitarianism on: September 28, 2015, 09:39:56 AM
That's why you don't go full year on keto and you should combine keto with paleo (not very healthy to eat bacon, butter & even eggs).

Key here is to find enough carb quantity/quality/diversity so you get the good sides from keto while not compromising your health.

On why ketogenic diets are good for the nervous system (and not only) I won't do the research for you nor I have the time to dig up in my files.

Neurons are 70% made of fat.

Mitochondria.

Antioxidative properties.

Etc.

Huge accumulation between 215-305.

POs for this chart are:

Vertical 673
Horizontal: 330

I will go with the more conservative one (330) because it is confirmed by the 1st bullish resistance too!!

Because we have daily close, I expect the price to close at 330 area and spike higher, probably in the 340-355 area.

This will take time of course. Or not.
Also at 334-344 we have bearish resistance.

*eating my hat* Smiley

I  just reentered a bitcoin position. The recent move looks quite interesting.
I was mostly bearish until I saw a long term chart (Bitstamp 1d CLOSE, log scale, 3%x3).

I wish I had made this chart earlier (could not because I just finished the programm that draws CLOSE P&F).

In this chart we bounced twice on a bullish support line (a trendline strengthens every time we bounce at it) so we are still bullish long term!

It initiated from the last bottom (65$) before the rally at 1150$.

Go figure...


could you share this chart here?

BITSTAMP 1d CLOSE 3%x3


BITSTAMP 1d CLOSE 3%x3 ZOOM



The 1st violation can not be taken into account as valid as it is form a very long distance (the signal was at 315 and it is violated at 178$) and only for 1 box.

In these cases we need about 50% of the column to be in either side of the trendline.

We've talked about buying land. I think it's also important to talk about the risk of having your wealth in such a public, immovable asset. If governments are hungry for tax revenues, then owning property with lots of equity in it might be a big bullseye on your head.

Quote from: Martin Armstrong
The deflation comes from the rise in the cost of government, in addition to the collapse in leverage. As governments with power turn to extracting more from the people, rather than from the weak government, you get massive deflation and never hyperinflation. As was the case with the revolutionary new government in Germany during the 1920s. Their own power leads them down the path of suicide. Of course, that can migrate to full economic totalitarianism akin to communism. Whether you technically own your home and are taxed twice its value, or if the state owns it and allows you to live there, is just a technical point. The bottom-line is both are deflationary – not inflationary.

So you might buy a house for $12,000 and the government ends up taxing you $12,000 or $24,000 every year.

Fair point; that's why we must consider options other than the western civilization. Africa? South America? or Antarctica? Penguins seem like nice guys to talk to... Smiley


macsga

I would advise to only invest in S America if you already have plenty of money, and you need diversification.  Managing property is not all that easy.  You need people there you can trust (consider any country where you have trusted relatives or, maybe, friends).  And property could be taxed highly there as well.  

Africa?  Forget it IMO.

Asia might be a possibility...  Nice beach-front property in Vietnam (if legal) or the Philippines (ask TPTB) might work.  All those rich Chinese are going to need vacation rentals.

Smiley

Bold part. I disagree.

Mostly because i feel you're clustering of all 54 african countries and different economic regions misinforms your judgement.

There are opportunities in Africa - LOTS! if you can take off your tinted glasses.

Sub Saharan Africa, East Africa for instance.



Afrikoin

Fair enough.  I would be a NEWBIE in Africa.  No contacts, no language skills, not much to offer the locals.

Contacts are very important in places like Africa, where it is difficult to do business.  A foreigner like me trying to set up shop with a small business knowing nothing about any of the countries..., ah very difficult.  

South America works better for me.  It already has, we have a nice business in Peru.


No way Africa - Islamofascists everywhere....

As I told yesterday, we are in the beginning of a bull market.

Bitstamp is not tight as Bitfinex is (the 2 circles have significant difference).

Chinese exchanges look tigher than Bitstamp but not as much as Bitfinex.

I don't think any analyst should trust Bitfinex anymore and certainly not promoting them (with a friendly tone this comment).

Keep up the good work!  Smiley

EDIT: That said I expect a very big move too, probably to the upside (temp stops at 245, 260, 280 - target 335-360).
878  Economy / Economics / Re: Martin Armstrong Discussion on: September 27, 2015, 10:36:59 AM
klee, Armstrong may be that good. He said he had an algorithm on his machine copy that destroyed itself (overwrote its own data 7 times) when it detected it was being tampered with. But yeah that one is hard to fathom. Nevertheless if he spent $0.1 - 1billion on data (as he claims inflation adjusted) and had even audio tapes of many of the NY Club market manipulations (which I've seen an official SEC letter confirming these tapes were conveniently destroyed when the twin towers fell on 9/11).

Given the fees he was raking in from advising corporations with his model, one might assume he spent a lot on security. In that case, yes I think one could make it very difficult for the NSA. Give me $10 million and 5 - 10 year period to have prepared over time to spend on security, and I could probably make it impractical for the NSA to intercept my work.

Nevertheless it is still difficult to fathom, because you need subcontractors and they can be infiltrated.

Armstrong is one really strange or unique man that stands out from all others in our era. This man claims he was the hedge fund manager for the Japanese postal retirement fund in the $trillion range back in the 1980s! Apparently that was more than the USA national debt which is what I think he wrote (haven't double checked that).

About your M.S., I will have a reply in the Economic Totalitarianism thread... in one word why the hell are you (we) not drinking Yakult! (well it was here all time in front of my face in every grocery store here and I ignored it for 3 years because it looked like a local product to me and was so sweet and I thought it was nonsense). Something significant happened to me yesterday. I will explain...

Lactobacillus casei is a species of genus Lactobacillus found in the human intestine and mouth. This particular species of Lactobacillus is documented to have a wide pH and temperature range, and complements the growth of L. acidophilus, a producer of the enzyme amylase (a carbohydrate-digesting enzyme).

Is Yakult a yogurt drink?

No. Yakult is a fermented dairy drink that contains probiotic cultures rather than yogurt cultures. The main difference between yogurt and probiotic cultures is that probiotics must have scientifically proven health benefits while yogurts do not. Another point of distinction is the type of cultures; probiotics are typically various species and strains of lactobacilli or bifidobacteria, while yogurt starter cultures are specifically Lactobacillus bulgaricus and Streptococcus thermophilus, according to the National Yogurt Association.
If this is the same as Kefir then I have cultivated mine in the past. Dropped it because I was not 100% sure it was paleo compliant and don't have much time for new research atm.

In the future I plan to do 2 experiments, one with eggs and the other with kefir again to see if I have any strange reactions.

But now I can't focus on experimenting with my protocols because I try to build my AI engine in R for trading. I hate programming...

So I don't need nuts anymore (used to eat them for breakfast while I was working in a software company along with coffee).

A potential strong lead on where you M.S. came from. More on this soon in the Economic Totalitarianism thread where I was discussing health since the Corporate State is waging war on our health.

My experience is fasting has been a fool's diversion. I've made a major breakthrough discovery!

Imagine what you've been doing to your digestive tract feeding it poisons and starving it of a healthy mucus lining. Toxins thus end up in your bloodsteam instead of contained in your digestive tract and thus our (yours and mine and every other person suffering chronic autoimmunity illness) immune system kills the cells that have taken up those toxins. It ain't rocket science.

(Dude a proper breakfast is a free range egg yolk, some raw wild tuna, some fermented drink with good bacteria, white rice, and some sweet potato. Coffee and nuts for the most important meal of the day  Huh  Cry No wonder you are sick! Abusing nuts (and coffee beans!) as a staple food as if we have the same digestive enzymes as squirrels, instead partaking nuts as at most a weekly snack food. But I did the same sort of stupid shit because of having the same type of job as you and we are both suffering the similar illness because of it)
I was MS before the nuts unfortunately. Nuts alone themselves cannot cause MS (unless I suppose if you are mega dosing for a considerable amount of time). Also I was not fasting back then.
I was having eggs & bacon for breakfast when I was in keto and had severe diarrhoea.

It is not simple, you know it.

My first MS symptoms may have appeared as back as when I was a child or at least it was the vulnerable nervous system I had that was easily compromised later on.

The first indisputable ones were late 1990 early 2000. I had some very stressful life events that I felt they actually cause my neurons burn.

Degenerative diseases (Alzheimer, Parkinson, Huntington, autoimmune, cancer etc) don't have a single cause.
There is a genetic susceptibility (different to every individual) for one of them. Then we fuck up our lifestyle (stress, food, exercise, toxins) which affect our weak point in two ways.
Both in direct biochemical/metabolic/molecular pathways AND altering our epigenome.

When you want to reset you both have to combat the damages and reverse the epigenetic changes.

This is very difficult and it needs time.

Anyway, we hijack this MA thread.

Talking about MA, how do you comment that in his movie he keeps talking about government wanting his code, I mean wtf, do we really think that if NSA wanted his code/data they could not get them? As if they had to keep him 11 years in jail to give it to them..

How can we get a guy seriously when HE is the one promoting conspiracy theories (not me) and on the one hand saying how NSA is so powerful (I think I saw posts like this in his blog, maybe I am wrong) and on the other the same entity not being able to crack his systems..
