When I need liquid c-r-a-c-k, I do a Vin Diesel at Peet's or
here Cole's (awesome CRACK, triple espresso).
What is it about the XXX movie series and Mr. Diesel?!? My kids LOVE his babysitting movie.
Y e a h . . . *haa aha* I live real dangerously. Ok yeah.
Actually what gets me REALLY going are all the stories I
inevitably hear.
Transformations are like DAY AND NIGHT (
Kid Cudi ).
Mental cognitive function and peak physical function return from a vegetative-state to the prime human animal form that we were all meant to lead.
Of course sometimes the excessive feedback is overload for me but I get full gory details anyway. Like... an older-generic-Type-1-DM gentleman who came to me to discuss reactive hypoglycemia -- excessively low glucoses despite perfect HgbA1Cs of 6.5% on insulin and diet. We examined his diet. He is a lean handsome dude who has escaped the B-below the knee amputations that affected one brother so far.
He's concerned he is losing his mind. His kids are complaining that his forgetfulness is worsening and demanding that he obtain a dementia workup. I say... 'no'... Is it diet-induced stupidity? Whole-grains-based-brain damage? Transient? Correctable?
I dunno.
But I also suspect a vast fatty acid deficiency.
Diet
B: coffee, 2 toast or sometimes cereal, milk, 1-2 pieces fruit
Walk: 3 miles or wt lift
L: sandwich
D: meat, potatoes or rice, veggies
Where's the fat?
Where's the protein?
For 6-weeks he argues with me (standard with all the most diligent Paleo warrior-patients) and says he can't do it. We end up adjusting the insulin to a fraction of the dose. The hypoglycemia episodes stop. The 300-350s mg/dl of blood glucoses (BG) post-prandially after fruit and toast get wiped out.
For 6-weeks he attempts:
--no grains
--no milk
--minimal beans (he loves BEANS)
--omega-3 free range eggs, some bacon (organic nitrate-free), pot roasts, etc
--more non-starchy veggies, occ potatoes or yams
--almonds
--occ berries (no apples bananas oranges grapes)
--stop cooking with cheap olive oil (hidden omega-6 LA source) and switch to coconut oil
--vitamin D 5000 IU, fish oil, slo-niacin 500mg every other day
Prognosis perfect. His memory and faculties return. In fact... his male functions return! I try to cover my ears (in reality this is part of my therapeutic assessments, asking about ur boner). Yes indeedy. Function this boy hasn't seen for 2 decades has returned.
He reported to me how... ecstatic... his girlfriend is noticing these... ummm... changes. He makes a request for Viagra (hey?!? do I look like the local Viagra-dispensing machine..thought I was Viagra... j/k).
"I feel wonderful! I have so much more energy now. My kids say my memory is good again.I think this plan is working -- I think I'm going to stay on it.I'm living... dangerously..."
Watch out world.
Accidentally he was referred to a S.A.D. dietician (eg, nutri idiot) who asked him to add 2 servings of whole grains to every meal and more fruit. Later he informed me, he told her 'no'. Or no *$%#@$ way, I don't recall now.
