Doesn't this study says the opposite, or am I reading it wrong?

Maybe, but you might be unlucky. It's interesting because, before being on Wai, my legs' skin had always the mark of the socks. Then, when all my retention was gone, all the marks were also gone. So I am probably sensitive to salt (sodium?). Hmm, actually, I can notice that on my fingers. As I said...

it will intitially have pro-oxidative effects What does this mean? Do we have symptoms or something like that? Obviously, the best option is to get your nutrients through diet. I completely agree with you! I had to go again to that doctor because the consultation was scheduled and, as you can imagi...

I talked with a doctor and when I said I was continuing doing this, she started to ask me a bunch of questions. Basically, she started citing some biochemistry knowledge and there, of course, I am complete ignorant. I can say that she 'won'. So, what she did to me was to make me feel really frighten...

So, trying to 'de-orange' my skin color kinda didn't work out very well. I simply substituted the main source of energy: Oranges for Melons + Kiwis. What started to concern me most was the fact my legs were losing all the muscle. I have been feeling like an old man that has to have a cane to stand s...

This is incredibly true once I began Wai. But I was wondering something: if my regeneration is this fast, doesn't mean all my body is also regenerating faster? What I mean is, for instance, my regeneration speed is 10x faster than before. So, my body is regenerating at this speed now. However, doesn...

Isn't cooked animal food even easier for digestion?

Does the absorption rate of Vitamin C (for example) works the same as minerals?
This is, if a person is used taking something like 2500mg Vitamin C per day and if he suddenly reduces its intake to < 60 mg, will he be Vitamin C deficient? Or vice versa.

Luckily, our body is very capable in adjusting absorption rates (up to 10-fold!), so that non-extreme intakes have little influence. So, for example, when I took almost 1 tsp. of Salt the other day, I immediately had water retention. That body adaption also works for NaCl? This is, if I had continu...

That is true up to a certain extend. If your intake of nutrients from both supplements and food is about the same magnitude of what your diet alone may provide you, there is no problem at all.So, for example, If that intake is way too high, you may have a problem. Something similar is true for when...

I am. Then yeah, you don't need meditation. It is actually the most valuable time of the day, reviewing what needs to be reviewed, and giving me great insights. I only fall asleep once everything has been solved or sorted out. Never. Thinking enables me to consider all options possible; consider th...

but nobody ever told me that I have an unhealthy orange color or something. From https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carotenosis "From there they are transported in the plasma into the peripheral tissues. Carotenoids are eliminated via sweat, sebum, urine, and gastrointestinal secretions." Well, I don'...

You say you feel and look better than you used to look. I feel better sometimes, but most of the times I don't. Regarding my look, I don't know what to say. When someone says to me that I am yellow/orange, it is like puncturing a knife on my chest. I try to rely much more on experimentation and lis...

But it doesnt have to be from beta carotene I woud say. I drink 2L of orange juice daily lately and sometimes carrots, but nobody ever told me that I have an unhealthy orange color or something. That's a thing I am afraid of: if it is not due to beta carotene. What if am I anemic? Or what if I have...
