i still think its funny that jordan peterson only eats raw meat or whatever and claims it cures his depression. that guy looks like total rundown shit.

i'm not sure about 'soup flushes', like any 'detox', however. i don't think that's how biochemistry works.

Jordan Peterson nearly died and was in a coma due to his diet and Russian pseudoscience healthcare. Guy can barely walk now.

n 2016, Peterson had a severe autoimmune reaction to something he ingested and was prescribed clonazepam.[137] In late 2016, he went on a strict diet consisting only of meat and some vegetables, in an attempt to control his severe depression and the effects of an autoimmune disorder including psoriasis and uveitis.[5][70] In mid-2018 he stopped eating vegetables, and continued eating only beef (see carnivore diet).[138]

In April 2019, his prescribed dosage of clonazepam was increased to deal with the anxiety he was experiencing as a result of his wife's cancer diagnosis.[139][140][141] Starting several months he later, he made various attempts to lessen his intake, or stop taking the drug altogether, but experienced "horrific" withdrawal symptoms, including "incredible, endless, irresistible restlessness, bordering on panic", according to his daughter Mikhaila.[142][139]

According to Mikhaila, Peterson and his family were unable to find doctors in North America who were willing to accommodate their treatment desires, so in January 2020, Peterson, Mikhaila and her husband flew to Moscow, Russia for treatment.[143] Doctors there diagnosed Peterson with pneumonia in both lungs upon arrival, and he was put into a medically-induced coma for eight days. Peterson spent four weeks in the intensive care unit, during which time he allegedly exhibited a temporary loss of motor skills and muteness.[citation needed]

Yikes, poor guy.

If nothing else comes out of the crunchy food advice column going on, I highly recommend The Case Against Sugar by Gary Taubes.

We call everyone else normies

Uzi, health is a direction we move towards. Getting off junk box cereal is a movement in the right direction so I only applaud you.

My mum has been doing the macrobiotic diet for almost 10 years now, she used to rave about it. Not sure if it's the diet but she is very healthy for her age, her resting heart rate is around 55 or something crazy.

Bizarrely she got into it after reading Dirk Benedict's biography... he's an avid follower of the diet
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Confessions-Ka … 0757002773

Dirk Benedict, a prostate cancer survivor. In 1974, medical doctors recommended surgery, but he claimed to have cured his cancer through a macrobiotic diet recommended by Gloria Swanson, his co-star on Broadway in "Butterflies Are Free," and by exercise and fasting. Over a period of 3 years and under the guidance of Michio Kushi, according to his book Confessions Of A Kamikaze Cowboy, beat the cancer. He continues the diet to this day.

While working on Georgia, Georgia (1972) in Sweden, he made the first contact with a macrobiotic diet and changed his eating habits drastically. He was 26 at that time. A few years later, doctors found that he had cancer of the prostate. He refused to accept the usual treatment and moved away to a secluded cottage. Dirk managed to cure himself from cancer by following the rules of his macrobiotic diet. When he got his part as "Starbuck" in "Battlestar Galactica" (1978), the doctors stated that he was in good health.

I'd sort of forgotten about macrobiotics in general but it's something I should read up on more. Thanks for the posts Sup Mind
