Potential benefits of Mumio/shilajit, Pin Hole Glasses, etc

[SOL]

Hey Sol, I've been trying to improve my vision a bit and got those "pinhole" glasses you mentioned. Mine aren't Russian (got them off Amazon), but so far, the results have been fairly remarkable. My wife has been using them too, and also noticed a positive difference. Can't believe something so simple and cheap works so well.

Wanted to ask you about EMF blockers - got a few of those that you plug into the wall socket; they are supposed to "disperse" the EMF radiation a bit; sounds a bit scammy tbh but figure it wouldn't hurt either way. Also, is there anything to the shungite story? It's some sort of mineral, originally from Russia, that may have protective effects. The New Age crystal crowd seems to like it, but hard to find evidence that it works or not. I also got one of those EMF detectors, but unsure how valid the measurements are.

The EMF meter you use to check which gadgets are leaking the most radiation then you purchase EMF shielding material if needed. I have an EMF case for my cell phone. For example, A laptop that is plugged in generates serious EMF radiation, hence one should never put a laptop on top of one's junk when it is plugged lol

Shungite I heard of it but never tested it. One way to test it would be to put it next to gadgets that leak EMF and then place the shungite next to them and see if it works. As for its antioxidant properties, again one could sit down next to the stone and after a few weeks see if there is a drop in any of your inflammatory markers.

The glasses don't have to be Russian they are quite effective and fixing weak eye muscles. Another substance that might interest is you Mumio

Lol, yeh, I watched that interview earlier today. I've been waiting for a pullback to buy SRUUF (the physical uranium trust mentioned in the interview), but it's gone a little bit parabolic recently.

Bought SRUUF yesterday @$12.50, days low was $11.65. Happy nonetheless, now @ $13.30.

@Yodean,
How do they look like? Can you post a link to the ones you bought?
I am looking for something to help my eyes - too much time at the monitor

What's equally amazing - you cannot buy these on US. Amazon site, and can not order them on Canadian site when shipping to the US.
Apparently too dangerous for american eyes...

Anything that can help Americans is getting harder to get. This is the true definition of a gestapo or police state. You are safe as long as you listen. Step out of line and you are taken out like some thug in a third world country.

Try this place. Though its based outside the US, they have a great selection of pin hole glasses. many of them are stylish

This place sells it also, they sell what appear to be the original design and they also have some other interesting products. Yodean you might find some of them interesting as you like to dabble with these type of gadgets

Another source for pinhole glasses is AliExpress. Might take a month to get, but the price is hard to beat.

Thanks Sol. Yeh, like you, I do like to bio-hack a bit here and there. Currently wearing my shungite arrowhead pendant as well as EMF Protection bracelet-band and pinhole glasses as I type this, lol, and my bare feet are on one of those Mercola grounding/earthing mats. Apart from the pinhole glasses, which are pretty amazing, I am not totally sure any of the other devices are doing anything, but if they induce a powerful and significant placebo effect, I am good with that.

Will order the original glasses from the kalinka site - looks like it has other interesting products as well.

It's interesting the bit about having a hard time ordering the pinhole glasses off Amazon from the U.S.; my understanding is that the pinhole glasses work on principles developed by Dr. William Bates (of the Bates Method), an American ophthalmologist who developed effective methods of curing visual disorders with special exercises and other natural means.

Like a lot of Truth-Tellers, he was suppressed by the traditional Western medical establishment of his time, and discredited by the mainstream media. The medical establishment saw a lot of profits to be made through the continual prescription of glasses, etc. Now of course, there are contacts, LASIK, PRK, etc. - lots of profits to be made.

Wikipedia attempts to be subtle, but if you read between the lines a bit, Wikipedia is trying to paint him as a quack:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Bates_(physician)

But if you do a little more digging, the Bates Method is pretty remarkable and works extremely well. It survives to this day, despite continued (mild) suppression.

William Bates never got the credit he deserved.

I got Lyme (full fever, bulls rash) two days before we went on a family vacation.

You might find rhodiola rosea interesting. It's an adaptogen that's been around a long time, has a great track record, and has a surprisingly amount of research behind it (one needs to look, as it's not patented by Big Pharma). Easy to find and buy.

Been using for years (to optimize health and performance). Previously had patients who also responded well to it for a variety of purposes, including improving triathlon times, etc.

This psychiatrist talks about rhodiola in this interview:

https://youtu.be/f2ANFYdh1jU

Apparently she had a tough time with Lyme as well, until she started taking rhodiola. She's been taking it daily for over 20 years, or so she says.

She also wrote, along with her husband (also a psychiatrist), a very good, readable book on rhodiola and other adaptogens.

Talks about the Soviet research, etc. behind them. Pretty fascinating. A lot of adaptogens were used by Soviet cosmonauts and Olympic athletes (the ones who tested "clean," lol):

Well, if you're going to believe some random guy on the internet, then good on you.

Personal experience generally trumps "expert" opinion, if you know what you are doing, in terms of experimenting on yourself, and evaluating the quality of data.

Don't believe me - try it out for yourself. At the end of the day, you have to remember, I could really care less about your vision. I post stuff that I find interesting and potentially useful for others to consider. What you do with it is up to you.

I can tell you that I have been using the pinhole glasses for a bit now, as well as some of the Bates Method exercises, and based on visual charts that you can download off zee internet, my visual acuity has already improved by over 10%. This is objective and useful data. And I haven't been using the pinhole glasses for that long.

Until you learn to think independently and not always be a follower, you're always going to belong to the "Sheep" category, as far as I am concerned. This applies to investing, as well.

To centeron631 and others that are new. Never trust one source, for it is a recipe for disaster. For example, when I decided to cure myself many moons ago from Claudication and a massive ulcer in my stomach (that was discovered by mistake as it was causing almost no pain) I read at least 100 documents on each topic. After that, I narrowed what I determined to be 20 of the best in each category and researched even more. In total, I must have dedicated several hundred hours to both topics. End result I got rid of the claudication problem forever and cured the Ulcer without any surgery.

We use the same formula at the Tactical Investor, but only now there are more eyes at work and almost 10X more data to analyse. But I speed read through most of the material unless something of value catches my eye and I can tell you that happens less than 10% of the time. 90% of what we go through would be less useful than rubbish, you can at least compost rubbish but not this crappy data. However, from a contrarian angle, such data can prove to be quite useful. Bottom line if one is using less than 9 to 11 sources to verify the new data they are looking at, then one is better of hiring monkeys with darts. However, nothing beats testing out the data for yourself if you have the ability to do so, that can save days and in many cases months of precious time that could be allocated to other activities

Alright Sol . . . just took my 1st dose of Mumijo/Shilajit about an hour ago. Had the stuff shipped from Russia, somewhat pricey and looks legit.

*****

The name 'Mumijo' is actually Russian (МУМИЁ) and is derived from the Greek, originally meaning 'body-preserving'. Aristotle, the Greek philosopher was already mentioning it and even gave some tips on how to benefit from it. In Ayurveda Mumijo is called 'Shilajit' or 'Salajeet' ; 'Nectar of the Gods, The Destroyer of Weakness, The Conqueror of Mountains'. It is considered the most powerful of all remedies, a panacea, giving vitality, unsurpassed sexual power and long lasting health.

Animal tests showed an endurance increase of up to 40%, plus recovery after work-outs is much faster. A reason why Mumijo was and still is used a lot in Russia by top athletes (weightlifters, long distance runners e.g.) and the Special Forces (Spetznaz).

-Fractures were healing up to 50% faster, reason why since 1961 it's officially being used by Russian hospitals. Several medications have been developed since then, based on raw Mumijo.

Mumijo is not a panacea for all diseases. Nevertheless, modern science has clearly shown that Mumijo has a broad spectrum of biological action: anti-bacterial, bacteriostatic, anti-inflammatory, choleric, tonic and anti-stress. Due to its composition mumijo stimulates the activity of many enzyme systems of the body and supports a variety of immunological processes."

I suspect my king asana (headstand) will get exponentially better. Or it might even open my Third Eye more. Either way, thanks for the recommendation.

""I suspect my king asana (headstand) will get exponentially better. Or it might even open my Third Eye more. Either way, thanks for the recommendation.""

You are well motivated, congratulations, its not common. Yes, the third eye is an important notion in hinduism and also taoism and buddhism. Everybody can find what he wants in the headstand. What I experiment with sirsasana, is the unity of the body and the mind. I am catholic, I am not proud of it nor I am not ashamed of it, its my culture, I was in a catholic college, the director was a jesuit. but I have a big problem with this dualism mind and body. I am very critical about the Descartes philosophy, and his mind has nothing to do with the body, or his allegations about the animals who dont have mind nor intelligence. In India, its another world, another planet I discovered with yoga and also kushti workout. No difference between mind and body, the body is the mind and the mind is the body.

You will at a certain moment experiment the point zero, the moment you are in a perfect balance, all you muscles are quiet and relax, and you stay on your head without effort, mind and body are one, and are linked by a smooth breathing, no words can explain it......

https://shilajit-mumio.com/

@Sol: damn, this Shilajit stuff is pretty powerful. Been taking it for almost a week now. An hour or so after the first dose, I was filled with aggressive energy. Wanted to put a hole through the wall with my fist.

Had to stop taking my regular adaptogen stack (rhodiola rosea, eleutherococcus senticosus, schizandra chinensis) - was time to cycle off these adaptogens for a bit, anyhow.

Shilajit's beneficial effects on muscular strength and cardiovascular endurance tentatively confirmed, both objectively (training parameters) and subjectively.

Also experienced unexpected, mild "Viagra" effect! Goes to show you, not all side effects of supplements are negative, lmao.

Need to do further research on this supplement.

Expect attenuation of beneficial effects over time.

Anybody else tried shilajit?

I just tried this while on 4 hours of sleep. Basically I’m in cruise control and also getting appetite suppression as well. Fantastic supplement!
