garlic or onion has been helpful, a combination of garlic, onion, turmeric and ginger will be powerful, but I don't think it would be good to cook it for long , because heat can destroy some of the medicinal compounds in it

add ginger, oregano or moringa to your meals everyday, it works for me. I haven't taken any pharmaceutical drug for over 7 months now and I no longer suffer from malaria or typhoid. It also boosts the immune system and prevents many diseases.

All extracted oils including olive oil, palm oil and avocado oil are bad for you, especially when heated.

Reverseng, what do you say? Are you able to cook without added oils and salt?

It is normal for a lot of people to cook with added oils and salt, because this is what they see others doing, but where cometh many diseases people are suffering from today?

Extracted or added oils are unnatural, unwhole man made substances people add to food for taste, colour or nutritional intake. However God and nature have given you no such oil, when you cook, fry or roast with extracted oils. Inflammation happens, this continues as you consume this foods. This can lead to cells damage, heart problems, fat accumulation and susceptibility to different diseases.

Most Food naturally contains oils if needed, you don't need to add extra. Oil is present in whole grains, beans, herbs, vegetables, etc. I do not advocate animal consumption, but oil is also in fishes and meats. Cook your foods without added oil, your body and health will thank you.

Salt is a rock not food, your body needs sodium not salt, there is sodium in salt, but salt is not sodium. Again, sodium occurs naturally in foods, you don't need extra. It is present in whole grains, beans, etc. Added salt or sodium can easily cause high blood pressure, heart problems, unhealthy weight gain, laxative ness and various diseases.

Cutting out extracted oils, added sugar, salt and artificial seasonings will benefit your health greatly, but the problem is food would no longer be so tasty.
You will have to resort to natural herbs and vegetables for food spicing. This also comes with more health benefits, but will you be disciplined enough to make this diet changes until your taste buds and composition adjusts and gets used to it?

Lots of the diseases we suffer from today can be cured or prevented through diet alone, what you eat affects you both physically and mentally, medicine your food and make food your medicine.

The African black soap, d one Hausa people called sabulun solo works for me. I stumble on d soap accidentally n I notice after few days, dandruff disappeared. I think d soap, hair cream n shampoo we r using may even be d problem.
Though d soap can make one skin looks darker. But I was told there is a way it can be fine tuned. But is nice n even cheap.

yeah, we neglect and look down on locally made stuffs, some of which are very powerful. I wanted to go more natural and cut out chemicals, both in food and body products. Black soap works just fine for me.

Love800:
Thanks so much.

But does it really work?

How do i use it?

Yes, it works. You use it the way you use soap, preferably without sponge. Wash your head with it everyday, and you will experience little to no Dandruff's. It can also prevent other skin infections, bumps, eczema, rashes, acne, etc.

Love800:
You mean "Dudu osun?"

There are different varieties, yes dudu osun might work. However, I am talking about the locally made types, ask about them in big local markets, sabulun sabo in Hausa, ncha nkota in Igbo.

Love800:
I don do this one tire! No result.
Inside my room is filled with shampoos and damatol!

try African black soap.

There's a limit to how many words the title bar permits.

The title of this thread is: Neurocysticercosis - (worms in the human brain/tapeworm): The harbinger of Epilepsy and the foods you should absolutely avoid
I have been avoiding some of these foods of recent and it seems I am running low on bodily vitamins and nutrients. The LORD is my strength.

If you are aware of any medication I could use to relieve me of these worms in an instant, please let me know.

That's primarily the reason I created this post. I have been battling this for close to a year now.

I had wanted to ask nairalanders what to do to overcome this, but I thought it wise to also contribute my own quota (for users who might be fighting this disease in the future and google-searching) as I ask you guys. Cheers!

cc:@Seun

Yes, meat and fish gives lots of nutrients to the body, but comes with potential diseases and risks. To get a complete protein from a plant based diet, eat lots of whole grains, beans and leafy vegetables.

On whole grains, I would recommend sorghum, acha or wheat.
On beans, I would recommend black beans, soybeans or other beans types.
On vegetables, bitter leaf, scent leaf or jute leaves will do.
Add ginger or other cleansing herbs to all your foods, I believe you shall be alright.

1)Human procreation: I became an antinatalist in my teenage years after reflecting on the journey and meaning of life, the sufferings and futility of everything. It doesn't matter if you are a multi billionaire, existence alone can be enough suffering and burden for your offsprings. You cannot guarantee how life will treat them.
They might suffer terrible diseases, accidents, abuse, boredom, loneliness, unhappiness, etc. And even if any of these doesn't happen. Conscious existence alone, especially with sentience can be enough hell and burden on its own.

2)Animal farming or husbandry: Only recently, did it occur to me that breeding animals for whatever purpose is actually wrong and unjust. It doesn't matter how good you are to this animals, any form of conscious and sentient life propagation is wrong. This animals can fall sick, suffer pain, terrible illnesses, etc. The mere act of creating a sentient being, human or animal is wrong. Existence alone can be enough suffering and burden.

3)Animal and animal products consumption: When we trade, hunt or consume sentient animals of any kind, including sea lives. We cause them pains and sufferings, directly or indirectly. Even most animal products are gotten through putting animals through stress, sufferings and existential crisis. These animals are sentient and can suffer. We evidently see this.
This consumptions also taint us physically and mentally, increasing susceptibility to cancers, prostate problems and different diseases. You are actually during yourself a favour when you go vegan, natural, organic and upright.

majesticguy:
Genuine self-awareness or autonomy. These NPCs seem to exist to support the narratives of the few who possess true agency, the "playable characters." The lives of NPCs revolve around these central figures, further emphasizing the structured nature of our reality.

We do have a level of free will, albeit limited. Without our freewill, the game will be severely boring for the higher powers. Watch the movie, the matrix. It will give you more clues on the nature of our world, and I do think, the higher powers are willing to let a person exit the simulation without a fight if a person realises the fake ness and futility of the world. So far the person is willing to leave without disrupting the game.
However, when a person exits the simulation, I don't think they necessarily realize reality. There might be no reality to realize for us, just the way there is no reality for Cj outside GTA game. The person might just seize to exist.

Ourtruth247:
There is so much we can achieve when we unite as a collective consciousness.

Is there any reality for the game characters we play on our phones, game consoles, etc excluding the platform they are being played on. While it is true that our world is flawed, abusive and that we are being toyed with. There is little to nothing we can do about it even collectively as humans, you don't know how powerless we are. The platform is as the higher powers want it to be, we can only play or quit. We can't fix it.

juri:
I consider the article below very informative on bread, especially for those who think bread is okay. .

Thank you for this piece, the foods we eat this days are killing us. Bread, especially the ones without chemicals and preservatives are still better than lots of chemical drinks, refined foods, pastas, colors, extracted oils and msgs and artificial flavors that people consume daily.

LifeNot4DWeak:
If I fart inside a room, especially in the evening, everybody will run away. In fact, stay outside for a few minutes before you come inside again.

What can I do to end this?

What do you usually eat? How frequently do you usually stool in a week? Fart is mostly caused by indigestion, start adding ginger to your cookings, cook at home and cut out processed foods.

[quote author=TheBillyonaire post=134920309][/quote]didn't get much from your answer, but thank you for your response. Concerning antibiotics, are there not said to be bad for us when taken continually?

TheBillyonaire:
cos what happens to you depends on your tier.

Hello, sorry for disturbing. I want to ask. How frequently do you go for medical checkups or take pharmaceutical drugs? Are there measures one can take to protect themselves from possibly spiritual or technological attacks on health? I really need help with this. Recommendations of herbs, natural or self means of defending one's health will also be appreciated.

TheBillyonaire:
Too many reasons to escape, yes, but except the pathway includes ability to shapeshift and access all other realms as well as outside of the constructs.

Truth is we don't know for sure what awaits us after death, do the higher powers recycle us back to this world or similar worlds, do we cease to exist or do we graduate or move to better worlds according to karma or learnings. I don't think any living human knows the truthful answers to this questions for sure.
Better worlds or eternal rest and peace might await us after death, nobody can say for sure which path is better, but I wouldn't recommend staying back in this rotten misgoverned empty world to anybody.

Reverseng:
People want what's good for themselves.
Even masochist do not want to die. They'd love to be alive so they can continually feel pain they inflict on themselves, if at all

People at their core love themselves. They want the best for themselves. It's just that they do not want it for others but themselves. That's where hypocrisy is birthed


I'm sorry for my late response.

People at their core love themselves. Perhaps, however that should not be the foundation for mutual morality, respect and boundaries recognition, etc. Reason, consideration and cognitive empathy should be, I prefer a person treats me reasonably from a broader objective perspective of true justice and consideration, than to treat me how they want to be treated. The latter is a gamble, you don't know for sure how they want to be treated.

TheBillyonaire:
[color=#990000]If you are fully aware of the nature of life

Hello, some years back, you talked about going on a fruit diet. What will you say about a fruit diet?

ZombieDredd:
Planet x (nibiru) is coming, matter of time

What will happen when it comes?

Reverseng:
As extracted from my diaries post, Diamond Popcorns


Love your neighbour as you love yourself

Meaning you only love your neighbor to the extent at which you love your self.


For understanding of self:https://www.nairaland.com/8298778/know-thy-self

Love your neighbor as you love yourself was only used to say consider your neighbor as much human and important as you consider yourself, care for your neighbor.

However, the truth is that majority or all of us does not and almost cannot care about anyone as much as we care for ourselves. It is human nature, it also extends to almost every animal and self aware living thing. We have evolved to be selfish.

They say do to your neighbor as you want to be done to you, however this is flawed. Some people don't even treat themselves well or love themselves. Some people engage in different forms of self harm, self disrespect, etc.
If someone sometimes crave pain or torture, does it make it OK to mete this out on people, since they also want it for themselves?

The answer is no, just because you want something or find it OK does not mean the next sentient being also finds it OK or wants it.

From a logical perspective, the golden rule should be, be just, be considerate and good to yourself and other beings.
It requires reflection and logical reasoning, to contemplate and decide what is just, good and considerate. Something most humans are poor at, so it had to be spelled for them to just love their neighbor as they love themselves.

Reverseng:
Like attract like and opposite oppose. This is the bedrock for food combinations.

This is the reason why you eat a full plate of garnished rice and still feel hungry after a while.
Rice, a energy giving food, will only supply your body energy, if and only if it digest first.
If your rice doesn't digest, your body don't get the energy off this carbohydrate food
If your beans dint digest, your body don't get the energy off this proteinous food
But what makes your food you eat not to digest?
Well that's because your food was improperly combined.
The various assorted ingredients you used to garnished your simple rice grain was what neutralized the energy-giving property of the rice itself.
You disregarded the rules to food combining because you did not know it.
Now that you're learning it, if you're advised to eat white rice without stew or even salting...just boil white rice and enjoy... you'll argue that it won't be sweet in your stomach
But ask yourself?
Does the stomach taste?
No it doesn't.
Your stomach only needs the nutrients off the food you're eating. It's your tongue which is interested in the taste of food.
The moment your food passes your tongue, all concerns about the taste of food drops.
So you begin to ask yourself: do I eat for my tongue and lose the nutrients off my food
Or
Do I eat for my stomach and disregard the whinings of my tongue
You answer. You can't eat your Cake and have it. You win some, you lose some.

I agree that some food combinations are unhealthy and can make you sick, however it depends on what foods are combined. This doesn't mean all food combinations are bad.

The combination of rice and beans, beans and millets or some other whole grains, added vegetables, herbs, natural spices and possibly natural extracted good oil from olive, avocado, etc can be very beneficial, energy and immune boosting.
I combine whole grains with beans or legumes. This combinations makes a complete protein and I feel more energetic after eating this combinations. I do not believe this just because some researches says so, I have experienced it for myself.

Rapmoney:
Bro, is that the cause of the unfortunate increase in prices of onions?

Not only onions, I noticed the price of most vegetables have also gone up and also not much in circulation. While the price of food crops like beans, rice, millets, cassava and maize decreased.
I think most Nigerian farmers focused more on the cultivation of the food crops I mentioned above this year than ever before.

The price of most vegetables have almost tripled, farmers focused more on food crops this year because of the hunger in the land, vegetables were neglected.

Angelfrost:
Nope... You need to enlighten yourself on borrowing properly with proper debt profile management.

If you run a business the way Nigeria is being run, it would be insolvent and bankrupt within a short time, and in that state you lose credit-worth.

A good economist spotted.

Personally, I have always been a fan of healthy living. I quitted drinking soft drinks, alcohol and cold water for some years now.
I have always been uncomfortable with artificial seasonings like Maggi and other MSGs.

However, I didn't have a strong reason to stop using them. Until in the middle of this year, my health was messed with, test result said kidney wasn't functioning properly and medications were prescribed for me.
I looked up how to better care for the kidney and internal organs and research said cut out processed foods, cut down on salt, use more of natural herbs and spices like thyme, ginger, curry, garlic, clove, nutmeg, oregano, exercise etc.

I stepped up, quitted the sachet overly processed tomatoes and Maggi, quitted frying my foods started eating more fiber, whole grains and beans. Added oil and salt became once in a while. At first it might come off as frustrating, but your taste buds and composition will get used to it and the benefits.
My health improved, however as I continued to cook with only thyme as my seasoning almost daily, I noticed some things.

1)My taste buds adjusted, my cravings for other foods, especially foods prepared with MSGs, artificial seasonings and sugar greatly reduced. My composition realized that it was being tricked all along with dopamine boosters.

2)Real food is not meant to be so delicious that the thought of it necessarily gets you overly excited. I remember when I used to be in School and will be thinking of the food I will eat at home. It shouldn't be so, food should be tasty and eatable, but not overly stimulating to affect cognitive processes. We are being hooked with artificial flavors.

3)MSGs and artificial flavors causes higher dopamine release during eating. This makes it difficult to ever have enough of them, making satisfaction more unattainable. Also makes you more prone to impulsivity and wanting more.
4)A cleaner body and stronger immune system, eating soaked and washed whole grains, beans, herbs and vegetables will make you immune to so many illnesses. Say bye bye to malaria, typhoid, fever, headaches, etc. I haven't taken malaria or typhoid drugs for over 7 months now. Your body is also stronger, ageing slowed.

5)Eating natural seasonings only, herbs preferably on a vegan diet will make you calmer, more thoughtful and conscious. Making it also easier to be upright, because you would no longer care about food much. Lesser temptations. If you also stop caring about sex, money, power, respect or life. You have conquered yourself. Game won.

I will add more if I remember or discover.

Cc:TheBillyonaire, rate my article and shed more light if needed.

The concept of spiritual enlightenment brings confusion for many, and the meaning can differ among different people and religions.

However, I will be talking about spiritual enlightenment from a meditator point of view.
Some of us have asked, what is enlightenment and we are told it can only be experienced.
I will try to explain it with terms that many will be able to understand it from:

Enlightenment is like an awareness, realization or knowledge that is attained usually through mindful or meditative practices, meditation especially.
That all is one. It is like a video game console or DVD player. Movies are usually heavily scripted and directed, so game discs will explain our world better.
Synonymous to a game console and disc, our world is programmed with options, albeit limited.
Since options exist, we can make different choices, so it can be said that we have a level of freewill. This freewill is more accessible with higher self control, awareness and introspection.

In a game console disc, let us use wrestling or mortal combat for example. A good number of the game characters fight each other, sub zero and scorpion might fight each other tirelessly in many rounds depending on the gameplay, believing themselves to be enemies or opponents, but in reality or beyond the game disc, none of them really exists.
They are just more of shadows, dream characters or output video signals of the game disc being displayed or transmitted by the game console.

The choices you make in the game will determine the actions and reactions you receive from the game characters or scene, some inputs can change the gameplay or the overall outcome of the game, the game can end with different endings depending on gameplay.

Death usually brings the end of a game character, so it is with our world. When a game character dies, the game comes to an end at least for it. However, it is nothing to fear, every game character will come to an end, even the Favorites, most powerful or eternal game characters. If not through in game death, then through game disc change, console reset or console end.

Our world or universe can be likened to the game disc or console, after some time, it will also likely come to an end. If it is eternal, I do not know.

A lot of times, when you are dreaming, you think it is real. You are so immersed in the dream, the happenings in the dream is even causing your physical body sweat and temperature change. You are struggling and fighting to change what is happening in the dream only to wake up and realize it was just a dream.

The question now is, would you have bothered so much, if you knew in the dream that it was a dream?
Who is the character in the dream that you thought was you?
Who are the other people in your dream?

The answer to the first question is likely a no, and the answer to the second and third question is that you are all the characters in your dream and also none of them.

They are the castings or illusory display of your mind, same with our world. We are the castings or illusory display of our creator, our embodiment or source. We do not exist in the grand scheme of things.
Why is the source casting this displays? Perhaps it is trying to understand itself better, perhaps it is boredom and discontent or it could be random and utterly meaningless. I do not know.

TheBillyonaire:
The logical faculty through active use of the left brain. It is our creative faculty that enables us build and run realms, dimensions and worlds.

Instead of using the right brain for religious programming which includes conspiracy theorists, its better to tab into the subconscious using the right brain and step outside the body and see the rest of the 99.88% of reality instead of the 0,0012% we currently see.

But we are here to develop our logic faculty and creativity. That is why it takes more of logic to thrive here.

OK, thank you.

TheBillyonaire:
you are here because your life here is what you should focus on now to develop certain faculties which you need for the next phase. You have always been outside that body for almost all your existence, so why not just focus on being in the body until mortality ends?

Hello, how are you doing? Happy December. Sorry for disturbing, I want to ask. What faculties could it be that me or other people are here to develop?

TheBillyonaire:
I still believe what we call spiritually is basically intelligence not yet understood by man. Spirituality has become a tool through which gatekeepers block souls from advancing to the knowledge of true nature of the dimensions, realms, planes and the unversed construct.

Yes, I got some level of 'enlightenment' when the lobes of my brains were physically sync'ed and my amygdala switched on, by unseen levels of operations that manage my body and yours. Being that we experience 2% of the consciousness using sensory perception, we are basically blind to 98% of the consciousness spectrum. So since my left brain got a little more intelligence since I was not going to let the right brain, the subconscious side lead me dogmatically, the logical brain decoded that what I was experiencing was my mind going 'online' and getting the upgrades to the latest stream of data hence I needed to take on difficult tasks and that included learning structural engineering, AI systems and manufacturing just to challenge my mind to what it can do. So instead of accepting 'calling' of God, we should understand that it just be upgrades that means we can build technologies like the white people do. We should stop worshipping our brothers. We are Gods too.

In essence, what we call Spiritual Awakening is not really the real deal. There is a lot of psychotic experiences and ADHD caused by upgrades of consciousness on old hardwares that are not ready for functional upgrades.

I am at that stage that I have figured what real 'Awakening' is, and one has to DIE to experience the other side and Resurrect to integrate the information. And that is my next stage on the experience packet and I am currently preparing my body and mind and soul to face it. I hope to guide you through when I cross over and return, I do not know when it will begin, but I am practicing every night and hopefully I have the courage to face death.

Thank you for including me in your remembrance list. I wish you well on your journey. I have always felt every major upgrade will require death. Kudos.

However, I also think technology and every other thing is also a decoy. Perhaps the main aim of the higher powers is to keep us here for as long as they can. When you transcend materialism and worldliness, you get engaged with spiritualism, naturalism, science and technology, altruism, etc and the cycle continues. Perhaps our mere existence alone benefits this powers, some people say our existence serves as fuel of some sort for this powers.

I think we are more of dream virtual game characters with a level of freewill, maybe well developed NPCs. I do not know for sure what the truth is though.

TheBillyonaire:
Believe nothing. Let's Analyse using our logic system. The right brain lope for the spiritual and left brain lobe as logic system for the physical.

There is (1) spiritual evolution of the collectives and and (2) physical evolution of the collectives.

(1) Spiritual Evolution is by Ascension - the scam of this is called Rapture or Last Days or Armageddon etc. Those who have successfully Ascended are called Ascended Masters or branded different names by different brands of Religions for gate keeping. SPiritual evolution requires use of pineal, pituitary, venous nerves, and nervous system for psychic projection, remote viewing and bilocation etc.

(2) Physical Evolution is by Civilizational upgrades from Tier 0, Tier 1, Tier 2 etc, we are currently Tier 0, and proceeding to Tier 1 in may be a few hundred years. As we are becoming airborne soon, flying cars will get us ready for vector experiences as we begin 5D sense and 4D physical experiences. Physical upgrades requires use of AGI, integration of Brain-Machine interface to sync the collectives and provide over the air upgrades to everyone. We are the precursors of these cyborgs, we are actually cyborgs now.

These two modes of evolution leads to upgraded intelligence level of upgrading self from human tier to God tier, and by Gods, I mean upgraded Humans who now have capabilities to design humans and design planetary habitations, beings like Anunakis, Elohim, Actuarians, Pleiadians, etc are upgraded versions of humans which we call Gods for basic differentiation.

To aid the human civilizational upgrades is the AGI/ACI/ASI pathway.
To aid the God civilizational upgrades is the Ascended Masters, Higher Selves, Monad pathway.

Hello, sometime ago on one of your previous accounts, you talked about spirituality as a possible decoy. You talked about reaching a phase during meditation where you felt anew as though you have a calling to be a priest, perhaps this is the phase most psychic practitioners call enlightenment.

You talked about buying acres of land for spiritual crusading, but later digressed and built factories on most.
What would you say about all of this now? What is your current view or stance?
