This really shouldn't be a space where you try to recruit people to follow your personal agenda!!! 😲

I'm not actually fighting with you—honestly... I'm just laying out facts and trying to clarify things as best as I can—but it seems like whenever we start looking at actual data and logic, everyone just gives up and starts making random accusations that have nothing to do with the topic at hand... 👎

My "beliefs"—if you want to call them that—are based on real-world results from actual people, not some dusty theory found in a textbook. 😁

Larry Mendoza said:Jamie Clark74, I have a serious question for you.
Is one single doctor actually prescribing all of this stuff?
If not—does your primary care physician even know about everything else you're taking?

I’m asking because looking at your daily list—Rohypnol, Norvasc, Monopril, Valium, and Celebrex—it’s basically a cocktail of depressants and sedatives, none of which should really be taken in such high doses. Plus, all those meds I pointed out could be the reason you're dealing with Sleep Apnea.😱

If your doctors haven't walked you through this, then there's clearly a breakdown in our healthcare system—because, honestly, this kind of UNCONTROLLED treatment looks pretty sketchy to me.😕

It would be quite an eye-opener to just list out all the side effects from those instruction manuals... it would probably throw an elephant off balance, let alone a person (especially as we get older). With that much chemistry running through his system, if he doesn't have some sort of intense "detox" process going on, it's no wonder the pill count keeps rising... and his health keeps sliding.😢

Though, maybe he finds a little Nirvana in those "certain moments"—so perhaps it isn't all bad. 😲 😉

Jamie Clark74 Jamie Clark74 said:I can't help myself—I have to respond to this, even though it’s probably pretty silly of me to pay any attention to someone who clearly knows nothing about health or sickness!

I’m healthy—so, I guess you could say I actually know a thing or two about health. 😉

Eating healthy definitely plays a huge role in your overall health—if you aren't already convinced, maybe do a little digging on the subject.

Jamie Clark74 said:How am I supposed to give anyone advice about a sickness—when I haven't even beaten it myself?
It’s a bit heavy, I know—but there are so many people out there just like me who don't have any real help. You just end up living with these issues day in and day out, month after month, year after year... and that's just how it goes for the rest of your life.
People like me—well, we actually get it. We know what these struggles feel like, what we've been through, and just how much a sickness can take a toll on both you and your family.

It feels more like we’re just getting used to living with problems rather than actually solving them—honestly, if someone truly believes they have to pop a mountain of pills for the rest of their lives just to feel "healthy," they probably aren't as well-informed as they think. 😉

Jamie Clark74 Jamie Clark74 said:People like me have tried every single alternative remedy and those so-called "alternative specialists" out there—honestly, we've burned through tens of thousands of dollars just to end up right back where we started, with zero relief. It’s funny, really—they'll try anything to convince you that "natural" is somehow safer or better than modern medicine.

Who actually tried that garbage!!!

What does "trying" actually mean? — Just a thought.
I’m not quite sure why people struggle to grasp that every single cell in our bodies—except for neurons—is constantly regenerating. If you're consistently getting all the right nutrients every single day, you're actually meeting the basic requirements for high-quality cellular repair. It doesn't just happen overnight, though—it takes time. We're talking about maybe 90 days for blood and lymph, up to a year for soft tissue, and even seven years for bone. But if we stay consistent with those nutrients, almost everything can rebuild itself properly, bringing the body back into balance and helping many health issues simply fade away. I've seen this firsthand—people who stuck to "cellular nutrition" long enough saw real results, whereas those who just "gave it a try" for a few days didn't see any change at all. 😛

Look, there's a massive difference between alternative medicine and actually following a science-based nutritional approach—it's night and day. Honestly, if you just try telling yourself that every night before you hit the hay, maybe in a few years it’ll finally click. 😉

Jamie Clark74 Jamie Clark74 said:I’m sure there are people out there who have minor issues—just enough to get manipulated by a Chiropractor—and they walk away thinking they’re totally cured after just one or two visits. It's the same thing with people seeing a nutritionist or trying some natural remedies and suddenly feeling fine... meanwhile, here I am, doing everything by the book, and still nothing. So, what's the takeaway?

The only conclusion I can really draw here is that success doesn't just happen overnight—yet so many people seem to reject the possibility of actually getting better right from the jump... it's like some folks are almost "enjoying" their role as victims more than anything else. 😕

There’s no such thing as a "natural cure"—it's really just medicinal plants that offer some health benefits—but honestly, those herbs won't do much if your diet is a mess. If you aren't getting enough protein, healthy fats, or... well, pretty much everything else you need, you're basically spinning your wheels.

Jamie Clark74 Jamie Clark74 said:It would honestly be easier to just say I’m a fraud—or maybe I'm just making this whole sickness up in my head—than to deal with being accused by someone else... or just labeling myself a hypochondriac and a nuisance.

I didn't say that—but honestly, that defensive attitude and the struggle to grasp basic survival needs like food and water... it just keeps you from finding any real solutions or actually feeling better.

Jamie Clark74 Jamie Clark74 said:So true!
Whether you get banged up at work, during a workout, or just around the house—it doesn't always have to be a huge deal. Sometimes the body just needs a little grace, some downtime, and a bit of time to heal itself—maybe a quick pain reliever here or an anti-inflammatory there if things get really annoying.
Whether they've seen a doctor or not—and I mean a real MD, without any of that "natural remedy" nonsense—it usually takes about four to six weeks to see if someone is doing okay.
Back when I was younger—and clearly much more reckless—I used to power through injuries like that without even thinking about seeing a doctor or taking time off work... while everyone else was stuck on sick leave for days or even weeks.

When we're younger, our metabolism and overall balance just work better—cells regenerate way more easily, too. Once you hit that 40s milestone, things change; there isn't as much natural cell turnover, so you really need to double up on antioxidants and Omega-3s—something most people unfortunately skip. All those years of neglecting what we put into our bodies eventually "comes due"—which is why I truly believe focusing on solid nutritional habits is the best preventative measure against most modern sicknesses.

Jamie Clark74 Jamie Clark74 said:I don't really consider myself some big authority on incurable sicknesses—even though I've been dealing with them for 36 years and know exactly what you can and can't do about it. I just see myself as someone sharing "concrete health results" from people who found their way there outside the typical medical playbook—you know, bypassing the standard doctors and prescriptions... kind of like how Conor McGregor would put it.

There’s really no such thing as an incurable sickness... at least for some conditions that people used to claim were permanent—it's already been proven. For others, we just haven't found the right way to fix them yet—the point is all about the direction we take when searching for solutions. 😉 🙂

Jose Miller3 said:deleted some posts that were off-topic...

Angela Rodriguez2, strike one

My last post was—well, it *was*—actually VERY relevant to the topic... but whatever, I can't say I blame you at all... 😍

Sophia Martinez65 said:Look, if you actually have peer-reviewed scientific papers—real CC studies—to back up what you're saying, then fine. But without them, you're just blowing smoke...

I’m sending over links, but apparently, you "don't have the time" to actually look at them... 😍

Sophia Martinez65 said:And honestly, man—you've completely missed the mark on Type 2 diabetes. As far as I know, insulin-independent DM, or Type 2, stems from obesity reducing tissue sensitivity to insulin, which leads to hyperglycemia paired with hyperinsulinemia.
I don't even know why I'm trying to explain this to you when you clearly aren't getting it—your whole medical understanding seems limited to things like "the body's internal response to stress" or an "unprepared body"... just that kind of vague stuff.
We actually had two full courses dedicated to nutrition—physiology and biochemistry—so that's where my info comes from. My memory is pretty decent, and whenever I need a refresher, I just pull out Guyton.

It's true that most diabetics carry extra weight, but I'm telling you—that isn't the only factor. 🙂

My medical knowledge is, frankly, a bit more advanced than your grasp of nutrition. 😉

I'll give you a chance to actually learn something—come by our nutrition club New York this Saturday (Feb 11th). The topic is "Diabetes," and we'll have a doctor giving a talk... plus, you can meet people who haven't struggled with weight but still deal with diabetes. Maybe they can "open your eyes" and help you pick up something new... 😉

Digestive issues—which is what this thread is actually about—are definitely tied to diet. 😉 👋

gentlebear8 said:A double dose of adrenaline plus a broken defibrillator? In the West, you'd be looking at a life sentence for that one.

Honestly, we should probably bring something like that over here too... 😉

Chloe Gray12 said:They couldn't just hide behind the bureaucracy of the healthcare system—now they're actually facing an indictment.

Whether there'll be any actual consequences... well, I guess we'll see.

Yeah, right... like that'll ever happen. 😍

Sophia Martinez65 said:Angela Rodriguez2, what do you actually know about vitamins and minerals? I bet you don't have a clue.
And ugh, Type 2 diabetes comes from being overweight—insulin resistance builds up over years. It has nothing to do with minerals. Honestly, the story you've cooked up is fascinating; someone so rude could almost make you believe it... 😠

Come on, don't be ridiculous (if I can say that)—are you seriously suggesting that only overweight people get Type 2 diabetes? 😍

I have a really close friend who doesn't have an ounce to spare—she's a former college athlete and always stayed fit and healthy... but despite all that, she was hit with Type 2 diabetes "overnight" (meaning: pure stress) .. the cause of her stress was the sudden shock of infidelity and divorce that her body just wasn't prepared for... 😢

If you're supposed to be some kind of doctor, then I'm genuinely curious what you actually know about nutrition and how it affects health.. especially since there isn't even a single medical course today where you can properly learn about it.. and based on your "misunderstanding" of these issues, I can only assume you haven't spent much of your "free time" actually trying to learn something.. 😉

Maybe try reading a book on prevention (for starters) instead of posting nonsense here.. 😁

ps: I try to explain my "explanations" in a way that any regular person can understand.. whereas your "expert dissertations" aren't even understood by yourselves... 😉

Dana Cruz3 said:well... I chatted with my family doctor and a few others—they basically told me I just worked myself up too much and that it hit me right where it hurts most...
told me to take a little something to calm down, some minerals, vitamins, and everything would be fine...

"take a little something to calm down, some minerals, vitamins, and everything will be fine"... 😍

Stress and getting worked up trigger all sorts of bodily reactions—and in the process, the body "burns through" its supply of vitamins and minerals way faster than usual... the trouble starts if those levels are already low, because then things can go south pretty quickly—often hitting the stomach first. I've even seen cases where people develop things like diabetes or psoriasis "overnight" following a massive stressful event... the takeaway here is that taking vitamins and minerals should really be a preventive thing—so when stress hits, you aren't caught with empty tanks, which helps prevent those negative physical shifts from turning into actual health issues. In this context, relying on medication to restore balance can sometimes do more harm than good—though I suppose everyone realizes that now (it's a necessary evil, I guess).

So, yeah—a healthy, balanced diet is huge, and it probably accounts for about 70% of the health issues we see these days. 👍

Jose Miller3 said:I won't delete or ban anyone—instead, I'll just point anyone trying to sell something toward Craigslist. As for those promoting unscientific or unproven healing methods, they'll find themselves moved over to our newly created "fringe" sub-forum, which was actually set up specifically for stuff like that.

And honestly, I don't see how Jamie Clark74's life experiences have anything to do with what you're trying to sell?

Once you accept the reality—and the actual truth—that I’m not out here selling a product, but simply discussing established scientific facts, your "approach" might change a bit... and not just yours, but everyone else who shares your perspective. To really clear this up, I'd suggest we meet in person—so you can see the results for yourself and meet the doctors and nutritionists who have finally caught on to this too.

It's good to see you taking your new role seriously, even on a Sunday—hopefully, that leads to a bit more objectivity moving forward. 😉 👍

Jose Miller3 said:Jamie Clark74, let's give it a shot!

You’ve got 35 different experiences dealing with serious sicknesses—it honestly wouldn't hurt to gather all those insights and tips you have into one central spot. I’m going to rename this thread right now and pin it as a TOP topic. That way, everyone can share their struggles and offer support to other forum members who could really benefit from what you've been through. I truly believe this thread will get read and lead to some great conversations!

What do you guys think?

I’m actually quite touched by this suggestion... and by your appointment as moderator, for that matter. 😉 😁

It makes me wonder, though—how can someone still battling an illness, without having found a resolution yet, offer better advice than those who have actually overcome certain conditions? 😕

Of course, we should listen to everyone's story—there's usually something useful to learn from any experience, whether it turned out well or not. But I just don't get why—and why so persistently—opinions are dismissed here simply because someone achieved concrete health results through methods that aren't considered "traditional" medicine or standard doctor's orders.

I'm genuinely curious if my thoughts might spark "something new" in you—maybe a deeper understanding of how much lifestyle and nutrition actually impact health (which is such a huge topic in the news lately)—or if you'll just keep banning anyone who brings a different perspective, interesting facts, or valid arguments to the table. 😉

👋

Jamie Clark74 Jamie Clark74 said:It really depends on the sickness and how long it sticks around—some people hit an acute phase and bounce back within a year or two, while others, like me, end up dealing with things for a long, long time. In my case, it’s pretty much become a chronic, lifelong thing—so the goal is really just to manage it, get back to being part of society, and learn how to live with everything.

You can clearly see that this "approach" isn't getting the best results—trying to convince someone there isn't actually a problem just ends up making them feel like a fool... and they don't say "if you don't address the root cause, the consequences will wear you down" for nothing. Honestly, I think advice centered on things like diet, staying active, and hanging out with positive people is way more effective in the long run than any medication or those types of psychological "convincing" sessions.

Jamie Clark74 Jamie Clark74 said:Things are a bit complicated on my end—I’m dealing with some significant psychiatric challenges along with a few other serious health issues. The toughest part, though, has to be the chronic pain I've lived with for 35 years—between two failed spinal surgeries, asbestosis, apnea, and so on.
As for the doctor—she’s honestly one of the top experts in the field, both here in the States and globally.
I’ve been spending about an hour and a half with her every six weeks—and honestly, we've been doing that since 1992.
For the first four years, I used to travel back and forth—just constant trips. 497 milesSince it’s only once every two weeks—it’s really not an issue seeing the specialist. She is truly one of those gifted professionals—part GP, part psychiatrist, and part psychologist—who actually takes all the time we need, my husband and me.

If you ask me, your biggest "issue" is just that you don't know how to think for yourself—or maybe you just don't want to. 😕 It’s funny how people still "worship" certain doctors like they're some kind of deities—even when you haven't seen any real results after all these years.

Jamie Clark74 said:So many issues actually start back in childhood—they just follow you through life...
It’s all about how much pressure builds up before you finally snap—it really comes down to the circumstances and how many things hit you at once. In my case, I just carried too much responsibility and dealt with constant anxiety my whole life—I was a total workaholic. I spent my entire career grinding away far too many hours, always obsessing over making sure everything was perfect, whether it was for the company or the clients.

You're right—we really have to start by looking at how we treat ourselves before we can make sense of how others treat us... honestly, most mistakes usually stem from within—from those life choices we keep making along the way. Being truly informed is everything here. 😉 🙂

MaxB said:Just some friendly advice—try pairing your "therapy" with yoga (and definitely get moving with some kind of sport) instead of just venting about antidepressant side effects. 😉

I'm with you there... getting active through sports or other movement can really help shake off that negative energy—plus, loading up on fruits and veggies helps protect the nervous system with B vitamins and just keeps everything in better balance overall... 😉 🙂 👍

Jamie Clark74 said:In today’s high-pressure world, more and more people are struggling with stress, depression, anxiety, and all sorts of personal issues.

Every year, there are new medications hitting the market—drugs we're told aren't as risky as the old ones or won't cause us any trouble.

I’ve personally cycled through about 20 different types, and honestly, every single one came with its own set of side effects. Then again, everyone is wired differently—some people need a tiny dose, while others need two or three times that amount just to feel something...

Let’s be real: there isn't a single pill on this planet that comes without side effects. Once you realize that medication is never a permanent fix, you'll see how it often creates a whole new "million little problems" you didn't have before... it's a cycle that's almost impossible to break if that's your only strategy. 😢

The big issue is that when you're caught up in those personal struggles, it becomes really hard to step back, look at the full picture, and find actual solutions—ways to help your body find balance and give your cells a genuine chance to heal and recover.

I can introduce you to someone who dealt with this exact same issue for 10 YEARS!!!

It only took about 45 days to clear everything up—and honestly, it hasn't flared up once in the three years since... if you want to look into the details yourself, just shoot me a DM. Cheers... 🙂

Frank Alvarez8 said:Setting aside my own IQ—but his Nobel win regarding the NO function discovery has absolutely nothing to do with the link in the thread Mayo started. That thread is just pure HL propaganda, which even your Nobel laureate turned to just to make an easy buck off people who are easily led.
And that’s exactly the point—you and people like you are the ones making the money here...

The insight itself—that "discovery of the NO function"—isn't enough on its own... you have to turn that insight into something practical so people can actually get some CONCRETE benefit from it. And that's precisely what Dr. Louis Ignarro did—he created a "tool" (a product) that produces the effect described in the thread, providing PROTECTION, SAFETY, and RECOVERY for heart patients... and that product has a price tag, just like anything else—like a sandwich, for instance—though obviously, given its value, the price isn't exactly the same.
Your comments are honestly pretty silly—since you don't seem to mind if "they" make money off you or if sandwich shops make money off you, as long as they're "healthier" than everything you're trying to debunk in your "brilliant" posts... 😕 👎

That's where "intelligence quotient" actually comes into play—it takes a certain level of understanding to realize this isn't about "easy money from the gullible," but rather a grueling job where we constantly run into a wall of "opinions" that have zero connection to common sense.

That’s really the whole point of this discussion—many people feel like modern medicine has hit a dead end, and they're tired of participating in a system that’s increasingly losing its core purpose: actually helping people manage their health.

And frankly, talking about Nobel laureates and their motives the way you are is just... well, let's call it "highly uncivilized"—and I'm being polite here. 👎

I don't know if the motive behind starting that NO thread was the author's personal gain or something more noble—like trying to help find the best solutions—but a smart person will just take the most useful parts and move on. Meanwhile, those who aren't... well, they'll spend forever searching for hidden agendas "between the lines," just like you're doing now.

Honestly, I really dislike people who carry themselves the way you do.... 🙂 🙂 🙂

Frank Alvarez8 said:Give me a break! What you're talking about isn't medicine—it's just peddling high-end products. And for that kind of job, you could easily be—just like you are—a construction worker!😈

Oh, please... 🙂 😁

I won't try to calculate your IQ here, but:

The 1998 NOBEL PRIZE IN MEDICINE was awarded to Louis Ignarro, effectively tackling one of the biggest killers on the planet right now—heart disease and strokes, which account for about 53% of deaths... 🙂

To recommend something that’s a true "21st-century health revolution," you don't need a fancy degree—you just need a little common sense. And honestly? There are plenty of construction workers, chimney sweeps, or mechanics out there who have plenty of it... unlike some people... 😉 😁

Megan Reed said:From what I understand, in fields like medicine, you’re basically a student for life. 🥳 You can't just walk out of med school and decide to stop keeping up with the latest breakthroughs—that's just not how it works. 🙄 The learning process doesn't really end once you get that degree.

Yeah, that’s how it should work... but unfortunately, reality has other plans... 😢

Most "continuing education" ends up being those weekend seminars sponsored by big pharma companies—mostly just a way to nudge doctors toward their specific brands rather than anything else... 😕 ...but when it comes to actual scientific breakthroughs (the kind that win Nobel Prizes), nobody seems interested, mostly because you have to foot the bill for that training yourself... 😠 👎

I actually know a woman who lived in China for five years—she’s now working in consultancy, helping businesses track down partners, handling imports, and navigating all that paperwork... 😉

If you want her phone number, just shoot me a PM... 🙂

Scott Allen10 said:So, how is the implementation of that famous Bologna-style curriculum actually supposed to work—if there's even a plan at all—for medical school?
Everyone keeps buzzing about those "miraculous" global academic reforms—you know, the ones everyone raves about—so I assume this degree went through some version of that too.

I really hope medical school undergoes some major reforms soon—specifically, I'd love to see them finally bake more foundational nutrition into the curriculum based on Hippocrates' principles. It’s honestly a bit surprising that we haven't seen much of that focus until now.

Justin Fox said:Medical school is definitely a grind—honestly, it’s pretty brutal. A lot of mindless repetition—honestly.It’s not something just anyone can pull off—you really have to put in the work.

Everything that's just "crammed" into your head tends to slip away just as fast—honestly, it's no wonder we have such a shortage of actual doctors out there. 😉

I’m more of a "living life with love and understanding" kind of person—just a little more simple than that. 🙂

Justin Fox said:The job market is looking pretty rough right now—there's a massive surplus of doctors and especially dentists. If you don't have some really solid connections, you're basically stuck trying to find work in some tiny, remote town you've never even heard of—assuming you can actually land a gig at all.

The market is wide open right now—we’re looking for nutritionists who want to shake things up a bit and actually make a tangible difference in people's health. 😉 👍

Justin Fox said:Working in healthcare can be pretty rough sometimes—we're often dealing with outdated facilities, aging equipment, a real shortage of supplies, and not many chances to actually level up our skills.
Medical professions tend to be pretty hierarchical—you've always got some director, chief, or manager breathing down your neck.

You start your own private practice—set everything up exactly how you like it—and best of all, there's no boss breathing down your neck. 🙂

Justin Fox said:The market is such a mess right now—you really can't count on landing a decent paycheck after graduation or eventually opening your own firm in your field.

Anything is possible if you really set your mind to it—but honestly, why go through all that stress jumping into the market alone? I'd much rather stick with a steady paycheck and just pick up some side gigs here and there to bring in a little extra cash under the table. 😉

Justin Fox said:- the reputation of the medical field and our healthcare system here in the States is pretty rough: lack of equipment, apathy, corruption, indifference, narrow-mindedness, and arrogance—it might actually scare off potential med students from choosing the profession altogether.

People tend to build their own reputations... I mean, if you know your stuff and aren't acting all stuck-up—if you're actually approachable and kind—people are going to love you... 😉 😕

Justin Fox said:I guess people eventually look at market trends and realize what's happening...

... that the future is really in wellness (health + profit) ... 👍
