I'm currently about month 7 into training. I feel my goals will be met in another year from now more or less, but I'm enjoying the progress I've already made.

First pic is from March, and the last two are from mid September.

I've done a lot of research and am trying to do things as smart as possible (as a result, I'm constantly losing fat while gaining muscle too!) I weigh 140 right now, at 5',3". I don't want to weigh much more than this, but I have a lot more fat to shed as well still. I work out once a week weight lifting and usually once for an uphill sprint session.

I think my chest may need the most work at the moment. I definitely still have far to go.

why is sprinting a requirement for healing?

Because sprinting (once or twice a week only) is the top way to bring about positive changes in your physique. Doing the best of anything (especially to the best of your ability) is going to improve your fundamental healing system incredibly. Its different from weight lifting (which imparts its own incredible benefits) in the sense that it is basically our most natural movement, done to an extreme level thus producing extreme results.

I'm a fan of uphill sprinting, and almost always just do it that way on one of the highest inclines I can find. Now, if I sprint on flat ground, it feels like I'm flying, barely touching the ground as I wisp forward at the fastest speeds I've ever acquired.

Nice guide, I'll definitely give it a read through.

I've been experimenting with fasted workouts as well, and, though I need more experimentation, I'm finding that I may actually have more energy and stamina this way. Yesterday did an intense treadmill workout on a 15 percent grade the entire time. At times I ran at 8 miles per hour for stretches of minutes at a time and really sprinted at 10 miles per hour until I absolutely could not take it anymore. Everyone around me is just like walking on their mills, or jogging lightly. I'm doing things properly, going BALLS OUT for like, 40 minutes or less with periods swinging between light effort to maximum intensity. Then I just take many (a lot of times up to 7 ) days off and rest. So far its working absolute wonders on me.

The fasting I do is definitely a corner stone in my health, contributing to my success. I catch everyone staring at me in the gym all the time. I'm not even that great looking, mind you. I have much higher aspirations. And yet, because I eat so god damned well, my body composition looks a lot harder and leaner, and more proper, than most of theirs, even if they have more muscle than I do (theirs is filled with fat, and covered with fat). It makes for a much more unhealthy, and unsatisfying look. Its occurring to me that an extremely low amount of people actually do things right to make themselves look even half decent. It seems that I'm going to reach one of the most desired functional physiques in a year or so's time, with a very minimal amount of training, simply because I eat the right way, and because I train the right way. Also because I've learned to harness fasting, which most people really seem to not want to do, and don't. But I do it a shit ton, and its paying off. Definitely a thing that should be mainstream practice.

Yes. Unfortunately some of us just can't go full raw meat. There can be a wide range of reasons, all valid to that person. But they can still believe in it as a path to better wellness (and there is a lot of other raw things you can eat besides meat).

My plan is to start consuming at least some raw organs a week. I think its the biggest thing my diet lacks at the moment. I'll do this by cutting them into small pieces, freezing them and downing them. I experimented with raw meat last year, and I'm not looking to bite into that anymore.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Its helpful to have a forum like this available.

So, it turns out iontophoresis is my cure (and the cure for most others that have what I have).

It involves immersing your hands into water that's hooked up to a battery, causing ions to flow through you when you connect the circuit (two pots, one for each hand).

Basically, its made it about 10 percent what it was before. In just a week and a half it brought it to a level that is extremely manageable. Now in situations where I would have broken out into hardcore sweats, they just don't happen now. It's like there is a blocker that doesn't let it get past a certain level of perspiration. It seems to have made a big difference on my armpits and feet as well, even though I've just been using it for my hands.

For weeks now I haven't had a single bad outbreak! A couple have been a bit moderate, but it stops fairly soon. I can't express how amazing this feels. I used to sweat in 90 percent of situations, and a lot of times when I was completely alone. A large percentage of all my sweats were severe, causing a beading up of water over my entire hand that could last for awhile. And now, I haven't had even a single severe outbreak! I was getting them dozens of times on some days before.

Feels like I can finally have a life now. I'm not constantly racked by stress and depleted by the exhaustion of near constant sweating for hours at a time. Now my hands are way more dry than they are damp (and when they are damp, its very slight!)

Feels like I can finally relax. Its an amazing feeling.

Few weeks ago I dropped my usage of the ion machine to once every few days, and for less than a half hour (sometimes less than 10) and it is still holding! Reports are that it comes back after a time if stopped however. Some people need only do it once every few weeks after the initial period. I plan to do it a bit more often now, to really eradicate it fully, then scale it back and see what happens.

People buy these machines for hundreds, even thousands of dollars. I got three nine volt batteries, connected them together with wires, then connect that battery to two pots I put my hands in with another, longer wire, and presto. It cost me less than 5 dollars.

Animal foods are far more nutritious than plant foods

They're also very high in calories. You missed my point. In addition to, yes, very nutritious animal foods, you can also accrue a large amount of nutrition and chemicals through extremely low calorie (basically nothing) but highly health preserving vegetables.

The more nutrients you can take in, in the form of whole food, while not jacking up your calories more than they should be, the better. This is how you further lengthen the gap between nutrient intake and energy intake. In this regard, vegetables are a highly valuable food source. I eat pounds of it most days.

I'd imagine whats likely is his gut bacterias messed up. Sometimes the only way it can be corrected is fecal transplant.

Humans are really hardy. As long as we have really good gut bacteria, and breathe to the best of our ability, problems are kept at bay even with a very limited range of food. Also what I think is critical is to have a very high nutrient to calorie ratio. Gotta reaaaaally make them count. Some days that ratio needs to be very highly swayed in the nutrients direction (i.e. restricted eating fasting).

Also is mentioned the fact that he doesn't eat vegetables, and only fruits. This seems really wrong to me. This comes back to the "high nutrient versus calories" point once again. Tolerance likely just needed to be built up slowly, and with only certain kinds of vegetables.

About a decade ago now I developed Hyperhidrosis. It is a pretty severe sweating disorder which makes me live in a sweaty hell every second of my life (not always sweaty, but at a moments notice my hands can always just soak up in 5-10 seconds and be dripping). This is chronic. It happens to me every single day, sometimes 10 times an hour when I'm in a stressful situation, and mostly work and being around people brings it on. It happens uncontrollably in many, many situations. Often when I'm completely alone I'll break out into sweats that are mostly affecting my hands. A lot of times I'll be always slightly wet, and at a seconds notice all of a sudden I'm soaking wet.

This is a disorder of the mind, caused by a lack of life in the body. I've come to realize that my breathing is extremely shallow. When its not shallow, I'm holding it without realizing it. I have a lack of magnetic power. Water pours out of me like crazy, sometimes constantly for long stretches of time without end.

I thought awhile back it was magnesium that was the answer. It did seem to make a difference, although I was still having really bad breakouts. At this time I was doing some good solid breathing training. I think it got into my head and made it slightly less bad (I have bad days and good days) and I tried to latch on to it as a fix.

But its as bad as ever. I've been doing research on the power of breath, and every where I look it seems to be the answer. I'm an incredibly terrible breather, even as I try my "very best" to work at it and believe in it, suffering in this hell of a sweaty life all the while. Everyday I set out to make progress, and end up with little patchworks of sessions that last a few minutes and probably don't even add up to more than 30 minutes in my day. On days I have really gone hard with it, I've noticed a big reduction in anxious sweatyness and an increase in calm and relaxation. But breathing is life itself. Nothing can be more pure than life itself and the rhythm it imparts.

The task of learning to master my breath is daunting, and my brain keeps trying to throw me to the ground. I remember constantly through the day, but its hard for me to sustain it for lengths of time because it slips out of my mind. My mind is rebelling against being controlled. But control is the thing I need most.

This, however, is definitely the answer to curing my disease. I can't see any other alternative, especially considering my breathing and the pattern of my breath is extremely poor quality. If I want to feel normal, I have to purify my mind and body. True purification can only be done through what breathing properly imparts.

I believe that my sympathetic  nervous system is over-reactive (constantly triggered by the flicker of thoughts in my head), and my parasympathetic is under-reactive.

Can you guys give me any best references you have to the healing power of breathing? Overcoming diseases through breath? Any informative work that sheds light on the issue of improving yourself with breathing?

I gain inspiration, and then find it hard to do and suffer in my sweaty hell, and then lose the inspiration, feeling like everything is lost and life will always be hell. At sometimes it feels like I can actually overcome this thing, and then it beats me down into a pulp like it has for the last decade and thats how I almost always feel.

But everyday I'm realizing more and more that I need to throw myself into this as hard as I can. If not to get rid of this horrible disease, but to improve my health to the most it can be. I've been making next to no progress, despite thinking about it constantly (I find it very tiring to do). But I need to shape up and destroy this thing, or at least severely reduce it so the torture can end.

I don't think there is anything wrong with being very lean. I'm trying to get there myself and am succeeding. I think the key would be just to be lean, with a decent, functional, healthy amount of muscle. Your body can eat away at this for resources in times of great need. Resources that are best for healing of all types. It is much superior to a lump of fat to survive off of (even when lean, we have a huge amount of fat still stored within us and you also get much better at using the fat you do have). Being lean and having lots of muscle means being very healthy. Having a blump of fat all over you is generally less unhealthy, because if you eat right, exercise right, it'd come off anyway and always stay off. This means your body, under normal, healthy circumstance, is trying to get nice and very lean.

I wonder how people got the impression you can survive better off of being overweight than you can by being trim, healthy, with a dense amount of muscle resource? If you have the proper condition, there should never be any reason to put on fat.

I wouldn't argue however that people lacking any amount of real muscle wouldn't benefit from being a small bit overweight, as opposed to the alternative (wasted away).

You're an intelligent person. If you have anything, you at least have that. And that's big.

Raw meat has a disgusting factor for me (and everyone around me). I derive the negative of enjoyment from it, as opposed to my current MUCH enjoyment. Its a compromise I'm willing to take (and its still making me look and feel absolutely incredible now).

Its not optimal, but I certainly don't think its going to prevent me from living to my 100's in fantastic shape and health. I just make sure its a very high quality diet with supplementation and many other raw foods.

How did it go?

very interesting!
I adhere to strict food combining rules myself. a meal is either veg kingdom or animal. never together. works for me.

Eh, not very well. I failed for the most part and just ate my usual diet. I do tend towards keeping veg and animal separate though, for sure. Almost always do (and tend to only eat a single food at a time).

I cheat way less now and have a more proper diet. Most of my "cheat" impulses were driving me to eat large quantities of nuts. Anytime I wanted a snack, and a lot of times also now, my mind turns towards various nut concoctions (I only eat a few hundred grams of them a week now though and don't binge like I used to). I believe this was maybe due to my magnesium deficiency, of which nuts have pretty much the highest amount.

My diet varies quite a lot now from day to day and the ratios of foods differ depending on how I feel, which I've become a lot more in tune with now. Before it was much more of a conscious decision making process.
