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

sorry, never intended to slight the pin hole glasses the only reason i published the remarks was not because of the slam on the pin hole glasses (would have not bothered believe me as i do not like criticism of competitors as a means of sale but it must be tougher that all heck to sell on the internet without all the competition out there) but because there seemed to be some positive remarks about his own method and ergo to an alternative method that might work. After, i rereviewed those reviews and agree (my bad) they may be suspect. Also i ordered the pin holes glasses a couple of weeks back but as said previously if the correction factor is > 3 they and other methods may not help much. For this and other proposed remedies the big question is always how long one has to use them to have any significant noticeable results. Of recent history of one that ive noticed substantial continuous improvement quite quickly for IBS and possibly leaky gut is L-Glutamine which i have been using for about 6 months, now.

I find no issue with other's having opinions that differ from mine even if they run counter to mine. It gives me pause for thought and many times provide even more insights into the topic that was being discussed albeit in a positive manner. I like Yodean have found it best to always test something new, provided it is not downright dangerous to see if it works or if the theory is valid. This includes topics that I might initially frown upon. if you start something new with a bias, you have given up 90% of any chance of making new discoveries. One has to be like a child, curious, open-minded and ready to discard the concept if, after testing, it proves to be rubbish.

@Centdude: I've taking glutamine for years - safe, helps with training recovery and immune function. Nice to know it also seems to help with your IBS.

The pinhole glasses may not initially help that much if your visual defects are severe. However, I have found the exercises from the Bates Method, which are easy to do, quite helpful. Between the latter and the pinhole glasses, my visual acuity has improved by about 15%+ in a fairly short period of time.

The Bates Method has certain exercises (like palming, as well as some simple exercises for central fixation) that are easy to learn and do. You will probably experience significant benefits even if you do these exercises for just 5 - 10 minutes a day, more benefits if you do more.

I read this book recently:

https://www.amazon.ca/Bates-Method-Bett ... C92&sr=8-1

Easy read, if a bit dry. You may even just read the sections on the specific exercises - they are all you really need, although the theories on why his methods work are interesting in which to delve.

Vitamins, supplements and exercise aside, the key to good health is to be on a low inflammation diet. Blue berries are also quite good for the eyes, but try to get organic ones and the smaller the better

However don't use powdered Mumio, get the sticky stuff, the powdered stuff is mostly BS

1. Provides Energy and Revitalization
For millennia, practitioners of Ayurvedic medicine have prescribed shilajit to boost energy and revitalize the body. Because of the level of importance these natural doctors put on this supplement, the body of confirmed scientific research on it is growing steadily.

One way shilajit helps provide the body with energy is the way it increases the function of mitochondria within the body. Mitochondria are organelles that serve as the “power source” of cells in the body because they convert oxygen and nutrients into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the substance that actually powers body cells. Shilajit encourages the function of mitochondria, helping them oxygenate more efficiently. (1) Not only does it help mitochondrial function on its own, but it’s been found to create a powerful effect on mitochondrial oxygenation when combined with supplemented CoQ10, an antioxidant naturally found in all human cells. (2)

As this substance helps increase the production of ATP, it increases overall energy and stamina. In fact, it’s commonly used to enhance athletic performance. (3) Chronic fatigue syndrome, a disorder classified by at least six months of inescapable fatigue, has been successfully treated with shilajit supplementation, also evidenced by the way it enhances mitochondrial function. (4)

In addition to mitochondrial efficacy, this herb revitalizes the body with its strong antioxidant properties. By fighting disease-causing free radicals, it repairs internal damage to the body caused by chemicals and other dangerous agents you’re exposed to, and it reduces the levels of fat in the blood. (5)

2. Promotes Brain Health
Shilajit seems to have a targeted mechanism for protecting brain cells in particular. Initial studies show it has “distinct and marked neuroprotective activity.” (6) In a 2013 study conducted by the Physiology Research Center at the Kerman University of Medical Sciences in Iran on the effects of shilajit on risk factors following a traumatic brain injury, researchers discovered that it has positive effects on the three most indicative factors of death following traumatic brain injury: brain edema, blood-brain barrier permeability and intracranial pressure. (7)

This incredible nutrient may also present a novel treatment option for patients suffering from mild cases of Alzheimer’s disease. The presence of fulvic acid and a treatment protocol including administration with B complex vitamins have shown promising results in pilot studies. (8)

In addition, shilajit exhibits anti-epileptic properties and potentially antipsychotic effects, as it adjusts GABA levels (a naturally occurring acid in the brain) to normal. (9)

3. Regulates Hormones and Immune System
Another important function of shilajit is the way it regulates various body systems, such as your immune system and the balance of hormones. Many researchers agree that it impacts so much of the body because of the way it helps these systems remain in equilibrium. (10)

In particular, shilajit affects reproductive hormone functions. In healthy males, supplementation increases blood testosterone and encourages the production of sperm. (11) When tested in pilot studies involving rats, it was also associated with ovulation in adult female rats, indicating that shilajit powder or resin may be an agent to consider for those struggling with infertility. (12)

4. Alleviates Pain Response
Ayurvedic medicine has long praised shilajit for its ability to reduce pain levels, but research has been limited until the last few years. Because of its interaction with GABA levels in the brain, this herb has a significant effect on orofacial pain (pain of the face, mouth or jaws), acting as a “sedating agent.” (13) A 2015 study on mice found it to relieve and lessen chronic pain over the course of time, dependent on the size of the dose. (14)

One feature that I’ll discuss more in depth in a moment is its interaction with medications. Regarding pain, shilajit interacts positively with morphine, minimizing the buildup of tolerance to morphine and, therefore, reducing the amount of this medication that one in serious pain would need to introduce into his or her system for effective pain relief. (15)

5. May Help Manage Diabetes
Those with diabetes may be interested to know that shilajit can help reduce blood glucose and lipid profiles in diabetes patients, especially when taken in conjunction with diabetes medications. (16, 17)

Shilajit is a main ingredient in a supplement known as D-400, Diabecon or GlucoCare. This supplement is designed to combine the most powerful Ayurvedic natural treatments into one pill. D-400 reduces blood glucose levels and shows potential to repair damage to the pancreas caused by diabetes. (18)

Mumijo is pretty dam amazing. I suffered from mild forms of psoriasis and my skin healed to where it’s not even noticeable.

What’s interesting is that my mind is a lot more calmer, even if I start to feel stressed my body’s response is to slow down, being non reactionary. It’s easier to self remember oneself when the body is at ease.

Also it’s super easy to lose weight. I lost about 9lbs already, my goal is to achieve 10 % bodyfat, realistically I have to lose about 35 lbs. I’m not fat but in fitness enthusiast standards I am and it’s a fun challenge to transform your body to a statue.

My test levels boosted by 400 points which is incredible. Its like I’m 18 again

Anyone tried black seed oil, I've ordered some as I read a lot of good reports on the earth clinic website Sol reccomended.

Sol, does this seem right for MB, it's for fish tanks specifically

The FLCCC has black cumin seed (Nigella Sativa) recommended as a preventative against Covid. Not sure if that is the same as black seed oil.

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 wonder if his butler called him "Master Bates"

He and his friends, Wayne King and Dick Testa. However, an unwelcome visitors were the brothers, Max and Dick Payne.

Yes it's the same thing. Very interesting it can be used as a Covid preventative too, added bonus!

I tried black seed oil once many moons ago. Did not notice anything extraordinary with it. Mumio/shilajit is much better. Results are generally noticeable within a few days of taking it

Yes that MB looks about right. MB has been tested extensively and it is safe at very high dosages. There is a lot of information on it on the net

Thanks Sol, will try the black seed oil and see how we go, seeing if it helps with lowering blood pressure but my wife also trying for alergies, if no clear benefits I will try the Mumio stuff and MB!

In a span of 3 weeks I’ve lost 15 pounds.

Gained strength and lost a ton of bodyfat. What’s interesting is my calorie deficit has been the same at 1800 cals only difference is having my carbs be only fiber, fruits, veggies and the raw honey

It’s really eye opening. Going to see if I can push below 10 percent bodyfat and hit 7%. It’s always been a goal of mine which I failed for years except this year due to mumijo
