Rethinking Diet with The Tibb

---

IS THERE SUCH AN APPROACH TO DIET THAT MAY WORK FOR AN ASTONISHING 99% OF PEOPLE 99% OF THE TIME?

IS THERE A WAY TO STAY ON TRACK WITHOUT GIVING IN TO UNHEALTHY CRAVINGS?

IS IT POSSIBLE TO BREAK FREE FROM OVEREATING AND DITCH THOSE ADDICTIVE UNHEALTHY EATING HABITS FOR GOOD?

At the outset, we would say yes, all of this is possible. There's a method with the best likelihood of success for most people most of the time. However, it doesn't match the modern dieting perspectives, and we need to rethink how we approach the idea of diet.

To understand our recommendation and reasoning, you need to read till the end.

This topic may seem straightforward, but it's actually riddled with complexity and confusion today. While some diets are undoubtedly more beneficial than others, and some less harmful, we wish we could simply recommend one and conclude the discussion. However, we've never been ones to just scratch the surface. That wouldn't do justice to such an important topic or provide listeners with genuinely valuable insights. A meaningful answer requires depth, rooted in a true understanding of healing's essence. It should offer coherent, well-integrated advice that's both rational and scientifically sound. After scouring the internet,we found many discussions lacking in these aspects. That's why we believe it's important to share our perspective here.

When diving into discussions about diet, it's vital to establish a foundational understanding of healing. Our approach extends beyond chasing short-term physical gains or merely alleviating symptoms. It aligns with the fundamental principles of many ancient medical traditions, which emphasize longevity, sustaining physical vitality, balanced energy, mental clarity, emotional equilibrium, sharp intellectual focus, and spiritual peace into a very old age.

Our response to this question has consistently been the same: promoting a one-size-fits-all diet for everyone or categorizing humanity into a few groups and assigning a specific diet to each group is inherently flawed.

Over the past two decades, approximately 200 different diets have been proposed by numerous health experts. The commitment and conviction of each expert suggest they identified flaws in others' approaches. However, it's worth questioning whether they've considered that if a one-size-fits-all diet were truly effective, only a handful of diets would be necessary.

While many popular diets are promoted by experts with alternative naturopathic leanings, a closer look shows they often share the reductionist approach of conventional medicine. They frequently align with a mechanistic mindset, reflecting what could be termed as the application of "automaton theory" to human beings. This view treats humans as if they're identical or interchangeable, like machines that operate predictably and uniformly. This perspective overlooks the individuality, complexity, and unique genetic makeup that each person possesses. Each individual has a unique metabolic, energetic, mental, emotional, and spiritual makeup. The ancients believed that dietary regimens should be as different as the number of people on the planet. When ancient physicians were consulted about diets, they'd inquire about the questioner's identity, line of work, and goals in life. They'd ask, "Are you a priest, yogi, warrior, artist, housewife, or so on?" Everyone channels their life force differently—athletes use most of it physically, artists mentally, caring grandmothers emotionally, and philosophers intellectually. While everyone requires energy, how they utilize it varies.

For example, setting genetic makeup aside for a moment, individuals may prioritize the utilization of the same amino acids from their protein intake differently depending on factors such as their physiological, mental, and emotional needs. For example, a physically active individual focused on muscle growth and repair may primarily use amino acids for muscle synthesis, while an artist may channel them towards neurotransmitter synthesis, particularly dopamine, to support creativity and mood regulation. Conversely, a grandmother dealing with stress may direct amino acids towards hormone production, such as epinephrine and norepinephrine, to manage challenges and maintain alertness. The unique routes taken by amino acids in each of these scenarios result in varying requirements for enzymes, vitamins, minerals, and other cofactors.

The ancient physicians may not have been aware of all this, but they were on point. Thus, the guidance they offered wasn't a one-size-fits-all approach; it was tailored to who you are, what you do, and what you aspire to be.

You might wonder if we are contradicting ourselves by claiming that our approach works for 99% of people, 99% of the time. However, it's not quite the same. Keep reading to understand why.

Before diving into this topic, let's take a moment to consider our current situation. We're living in an increasingly polluted environment, constantly bombarded by various pressures and stimuli. Many of us feel swamped, stressed, and overloaded with toxins on multiple fronts—physically, mentally, emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually. Our bodies are burdened with microbes, toxins, and xenoestrogens, putting significant strain on our liver. Our digestive system's fire has dimmed, leading to a sluggish metabolism and coagulated bile. A buildup of residue in our intestines hinders nutrient absorption. Gut health issues, like leaky gut, and an overworked pancreas further compound our challenges. The diversity of our gut microbiota has decreased, impacting our mood, motivation, and overall well-being. In this state, many of our detox and metabolic pathways are functioning below their optimal levels.

While many haven't shown overt symptoms of diagnosed diseases, this rings true for a large portion of the population today. We doubt anyone would dispute these observations. Yet, most people believe they're operating at a normal level, which is a misconception. What many see as "normal" falls far below genuine health standards. Few of us have ever achieved our full health potential, leaving us without a benchmark to gauge future improvements or declines.

Would anyone opt to plant trees or start a garden on a polluted piece of land filled with garbage and chemical dumps? The answer appears obvious: of course not.

Given the complex challenges many of us are currently facing, we need to question whether now is the right time to delve into discussions about specific diets.

We recommend that people consult with an experienced health professional who can assess their overall well-being and guide them towards achieving peak performance—physically, energetically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Once you've attained this balanced state, you can experiment with different healthy foods and practices to determine what suits you best. This way, you can maintain these beneficial habits long-term and discard the less effective ones.

Think of it like a mirror with numerous smudges, let's say 50 of them. Simply adding or removing a few won't make a noticeable difference. Similarly, embarking on a diet without a holistic overhaul is unlikely to lead to optimal performance. In fact, minor improvements can give us a false sense of progress if we lack a clear benchmark for comparison.

Instead, commit to a personalized and comprehensive program for several months to address the gaps across various facets of your life and achieve peak performance. Think of this as polishing a mirror to crystal clarity. With such clarity, even a tiny speck on that mirror would stand out glaringly. Next, observe your performance or any decline as you introduce different foods. Now you can tune into your clean unique genetic makeup free from any adducts and you start directly taking instructions from your genes.

For instance, during my healing journey, I often ate expensive red sockeye salmon. However, after the overhaul, I added red snapper to my diet. I felt an incredible difference—I felt lighter and more energized. While the red sockeye salmon was good, it didn't give me the same remarkable benefits as the red snapper. This experience was eye-opening, teaching me that not everything labeled as a superfood or that comes with a hefty price tag is necessarily the best option for you.I noticed a significant improvement in my cognitive function when I switched from cod liver oil to krill oil, which was not apparent before the overhaul. Many such experiences have led me to sincerely believe that this approach should be followed if sustained long-term benefit is in view. We've tested this theory repeatedly with various foods. We've tested this theory repeatedly with various patients and various foods.

This approach stands apart from elimination diets or diets based on genetic reports, i.e., nutritional genomics, both of which carry their own set of challenges and risks. 

First, the elimination diet considers only physicality and indiscriminately cuts out all the foods. It doesn’t let you achieve your full potential. The reference point is never established. It is geared most of the time towards some symptomatic relief.

When it comes to genomics or nutrigenomics, our understanding of genetic science is robust in terms of basics, but the field itself is still in its early stages with many unanswered questions. We only understand the functions of about 50% of our transcribable genes, and we know that one protein/enzyme affects the functionality of another. Now, we cannot know how our understanding is going to change when the functionalities of yet-unknown genes will be discovered. Just think logically; relying solely on interpreting very cryptic DNA code and searching for gene mutations and variations can be unreliable and risky when shaping our dietary choices.

Instead of solely focusing on genomics, why not explore the realm of epigenetics? For example, I used to consume a large quantity of broccoli sprouts. Sprouting is a process that consumed a significant amount of time. During this period, I did notice substantial benefits related to estrogen and xenoestrogen detoxification, as well as immunomodulation. Notably, I observed a reduction in hard-to-lose lower abdominal fat after incorporating broccoli sprouts into my diet for several days. However, over time, I lost motivation for sprouting broccoli. Eventually, someone gifted me some moringa, which I decided to try for a few days. To my surprise, I experienced similar benefits to those I had previously observed with broccoli sprouts. This left me puzzled, as I had not encountered any scientific studies supporting these findings at the time.

This prompted me to delve deeper into the matter, leading me to the research of Jed Fahey, Rhonda Patrick, and others. They discussed how both sulforaphane from broccoli sprouts and moringin from moringa are isothiocyanate compounds that activate the NRF2 pathway, thereby regulating detoxification and antioxidant genes. This discovery that I came across myself offered me a more affordable, less time-consuming, and less cumbersome alternative to obtaining the same benefits. Although it was coincidental, I want to turn our focus on my self-discovery of an important alternative without any prior knowledge of scientific research.

Our genes communicate with us in their unique way. By paying attention to our body's signals and responses, we can better understand what it needs and make informed decisions about our diet and lifestyle. It's like having a dialogue with our genes—they provide insights into what they prefer, and we can listen and respond accordingly. This can only be possible if we achieve a clean-mirror state. 

This approach has the highest potential for accuracy.

This personalized nutrition strategy is the most effective route to achieving optimal health and longevity. At this stage, cravings, addictions, and urges naturally diminish. 

What we commonly refer to as sugar cravings may actually be signals sent by parasites or worms in our bodies, compelling us to crave sweets or unhealthy foods.

Many people are unaware of this, but it's supported by recent studies and research that we can share on our website. Additionally, there's a book titled "This Is Your Brain On Parasites: How Tiny Creatures Manipulate Our Behavior and Shape Society" by Kathleen McAuliffe that delves into this topic. This concept aligns well with what I've observed in my own practice time and again.

Parasites are just one of the many obstacles people face. It's just one example to make the point clear. Now imagine trying to embark on a new dietary regimen without first addressing these invaders—they can significantly hinder your progress. These parasites are intelligent and have a strong desire to survive,  influencing you to crave their preferred foods.

Eliminating these parasites is not as simple as many people might think. It's a challenging task that requires expertise and experience to guide someone through the various stages of eradication. The difficulty lies in the fact that these parasites can cause individuals to dislike their new diet, leading to frustration and anger. Without expert guidance and reassurance at each stage, patients may become disheartened and blame the diet for their emotional ups and downs.

As a result, many people give in to their cravings and fail to achieve their health goals.

But once you achieve that proverbial clean slate, unhealthy foods and actions become glaringly apparent in their negative effects. Your willpower comes back in your control. You begin to prioritize peak performance over fleeting moments of pleasure from unhealthy eating.

العاقل من يأخذ الأشياء اختيارًا، ولا تأخذه الأشياء إقتحارًا

The intelligent one takes things by choice, and the things do not overwhelm him by force

 In conclusion, aim for a clean slate across all dimensions: physical, mental, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. Adopting this holistic approach empowers you to take control of your health and well-being, freeing you from external influences and allowing you to live life on your own terms. While many of us resist external control and manipulation from governments or other entities, we may overlook the possibility of internal influences exerting control over us.

My advice is to become your own health expert and enjoy the benefits of optimal health and longevity throughout your life. Once you achieve this, you won't need to rely on external health gurus or search for new diets. While it may be challenging at first, consider the freedom and independence you'll gain from this approach.

You'll no longer need to seek out a health guru ever again!
