In November 2014 I spent my days in bed doing little but mindlessly watch YouTube clips. I had lost a lot of my mental faculties: I couldn't concentrate, I didn't always know what we going on, I would get confused, I had no ideas, I had no interest in anything, nothing seemed to have any means, and I was massively depressed and anxious. I started to plan my suicide.
Then I read a bit in a book that was strangely different from anything I had read before. The author didn't seem particularly interested in the conventional classifications of mental health issues and suggested a gluten and casein free diet complete with a nice chart showing improvements accumulating over a year. I tried it. I didn't have anything to lose. And to my delight and shock things started to change. The depression lifted. I started having ideas again. I started being able to make connections again. I developed a strange headache that only hurt when I moved my head but a few weeks later that had gone.
That book changed my life forever and opened my eyes to the possibility that diet and digestion might have something to do with my brain problems and I started reading more and more from the the alternative health world. I approached it all with skepticism. Some didn't work. But the majority did. Some of the wildest most crazy things I would never have believed worked.
So I started on a big mission to detoxify myself. I learned about how your cognitive functions or cognitive skills (basically how well different parts of your brain work and are able to integrate) is the #1 chief determiner of your success in life (not just career). And how the effects of pollutants and pathogens are affecting peoples emotions and motivations creating an atmosphere of fear, aggression, narrow-mindedness, futility, and complacency.
Why hadn't this information been made available to me?
Now I’ve become a brain health spotter. I can see how people all around me are affected by the pollutants and pathogens, how they struggle to overcome their difficulties, and never really make progress. I also see how authorities actively suppress and pay people to disinform about treatments that work.
Waking people up to this is hard but I'd like to try. I’d like to write in a way that assumes the reader is able to see sense and encourage people to run their own tests to confirm or refute my claims. I'd also like to write in a way that is sympathetic and optimistic and ask nothing in return other than to share the message with other people. Most of all I want to be able to demonstrate the connection between success and health for those people like myself who have lost many years (decades in my case) trying to achieve things by pushing themselves and approaching tasks from different angles but never really moving forward. I'd also like to approach detoxification and health restoration from a perspective of committed self-love rather than self-loathing.
I'm sure many more principles for how to make this a good resource will occur to me as we start to work on it. It doesn't have to be amazing from day one but I want to start the process and I don't want to do it alone. I recognize that the provision of reliable health information capable of having a transformative effect is very challenging so we could start by focusing on the bigger issues and I honestly believe the core principles of achieving good health are relatively consistent among people: improve nutrition, remove allergens, kill infections, excrete toxicities, and rebuild systems.
So if you think this is something you would be interested in please send me a PM. If you know someone who you think might be interested in this please share a link to this page with them.
Looking forward to hearing from you and best of health to you all!

That sounds like an interesting idea! I have asthma, and the most that my doctor did was prescribe me over-the-counter allergy meds and an inhaler.

Yep, I actually can't remember the time I went to a conventional GP and went away happy.
