I don't care, I said it tongue in cheek to illustrate how close minded many HNers are when it comes to health and how to improve one's own health without reliance on pharmaceuticals and other "modern medicine" inventions. Fasting is just one such example. I hope that by the time I reach 0 karma, fasting will be as mainstream as knowing you shouldn't be smoking.

Why is that unfortunate? What would clicking a downvote button achieve? I appreciate that instead you are taking the time to make a comment.

To your point, life (and by extension, us humans) is simpler than you think, and far simpler than "modern medicine" wants you to think it is. I am confident that in your lifetime, though, you will one day look back and say; "Oh yeah that dude from HN mentioned this a few years ago". And I do not base this solely on my own experiences. I have been around fasting as a healing mechanism for much of my adult life and have seen many many lives transformed and saved as a result.

Don't take my word for it. Let this be a spark that takes you on your own journey to discover how insane it is that fasting is being kept hidden from the general public.

Your username is highly accurate based on this statement. This is just complete non-sense.

No. I live in the desert too (Arizona), and do two 8-day dry fasts every year and I'm still around, healthy as ever.

Oh, and needing to drink any large amount of water is bad for you and a sign of your body not getting the right food.

I go weeks without drinking water. But that's no surprise, my diet is 100% fruits and vegetables for the last 8 years.

When your diet is nourishing there is no need for water.

An alternative to water/dry fasting is organic grape fast, where you drink grape juice and/or eat grapes for 2-3 months.

As you should be, so do your own research, hopefully before a disease shows up and the forces around you (doctors, friends, family) push you towards mainstream treatment options that at best will put you on a lifelong symptom prevention regime instead of actually fixing the underlying cause of whatever "disease" they say you have. Modern medicine invented thousands of names diseases, when all it is is your body becoming acidic and manifesting this terrible state in any sensitive part of your body, hence the naming of diseases begins. It's like cancer. There are no a hundred different types of cancer. That's marketing. Just like 10 types of Macbooks.

Do I get back the 3,000 HN Karma points I lost to downvotes after years of suggesting fasting as a viable treatment for a whole host of "diseases"? One day people will see it as obvious as "smoking is bad for you". One day.

Almost like Twilio's SMS price, but in the real world SMS in the US is ~$0.0015 (outbound) and free for inbound and that's without trying very hard, can get even lower. Granted it doesn't come with all the ready-made tooling and bells and whistles, which evidently has a high price tag attached if doing via Twilio.

Why not go with bare metal from say OVH for this type of service? Running a free VoIP service on top of a cloud provider is kind of silly, not just from a cost perspective, but also having shared resources for your voice/WebRTC media servers. But then the question is, why offer free VoIP service to begin with? You're going to invite a lot of abuse and fraud attempts very quickly. Sure you can guard against that, but is it really worth it?

There's a massively booming VoIP industry right now (despite the perception of "too many players" in the market). Go out there and make money while providing good affordable service. Charge $10-$15 per line while the big guys ask for $25-$50. VoIP seats add up fast, and it's very nice MRR with not a lot of hassle if you run things right and give customers tools to get things done without calling for support for every little thing.

Or go the route that Dialpad is taking with their limited Free product (dialpad.com/free) which is kind of a bait-and-switch because surely a business will need to convert to a paid subscription of some sort if they don't end up going out of business in the first few months.

Meaning offer free VoIP?

This is their official rate limit for the FIFO type SQS. Although I bet the Amazon folks know a couple people around the office who can up that limit :)

My bet is they maxed out on the SQS FIFO 300 messages per second limit.

What is wrong with our society? We need AI to tell us how to be healthy? Is this real? Sometimes I feel like I live in the twilight zone.

PSA for anyone with a disease that man and corporate picked a name for - you are feeding yourself towards that disease. Fix your diet (and 100% rid yourself of animal products, processed sugar, wheat, and any "food" that comes in a package with a label on it - hell stay away from anything that isn't a fruit or a vegetable), go on a dry / water fast, and heal yourself. Stop relying on doctors, AI, whatever the hell they produce supposedly for you.

Bitcoin and other crypto currencies are not a store of value. They are a store of hype and momentum. Right now they have none, hence the steady decline.

It's not either or. Both are disorders.

Big Pharma and other such entities have presence in every large online community, HN and Reddit included.

Nope. There is very little money in true exercise. The profits come from unhealthy things such as protein supplements, harmful body building, gyms that promote unhealthy exercise routine, etc.

You can call it what you want. I've been in the field for 20 years and have seen many hundreds of people cure so-called lifelong diseases. But sure, wait on the medical world to admit it, because they have all the incentive in the world NOT to do it if they want to keep the money flowing.

Exactly. Fasting cures diabetes as well as a host of many other "incurable" "diseases". But there is no money in fasting, so our messed up world continues to reject it as a valid solution.

Diabetes can already be cured, without the sick concept of a gastric bypass as some sort of a solution. Type 2 diabetes can be completely reversed following a 14 to 40 day water fast or a series of short 4-7 day dry fasts. This is complete insanity that such a simple solution is still not mainstream in 2018.

You are correct, I did mention it once more 22 days ago. Forgot about that one. Prior to that I've had thousands of comments here on HN in the last 10 years that I have not mentioned it in. And many have been downvoted within minutes or as I mentioned, more recently flagged.

Today was the first time I ever complained about getting downvoted because I know it triggers HNers instantly.

If reducing high blood pressure is important to you, don't trust a random dude on HN. Spend some time researching the concept of water fasting as well as dry fasting and you will find the literature that leads you to conclude it is a worthwhile effort for your best shot at curing many man made "diseases" such as high blood pressure, diabetes, Crohn's and all other IBS/Ds, among many many many others.

The information is readily accessible and available to be found if you do it with an open mind.

I don't have links or whatever to send you. This is not a new topic for me so I don't have a folder with bookmarks I keep around to include in my replies here or elsewhere. I have been around fasting (water, dry, and grape fasting) and herbal remedies for the last 20 years and have seen hundreds, probably thousands, of people cure diseases their top doctors once said were incurable. But again, don't believe me (and most don't, hence why I always get downvoted or flagged), believe yourself once you open up your mind to life changing information that's out there. When you realize your health is quite literally in your own hands, you free yourself to find the right information.

It's amazing to me that people still believe high blood pressure is some lifelong ailment you need to learn to cope with. Of all "diseases" it is pretty much the easiest to fix. It is well known that as short as a 8-10 day water fast is sufficient to drop any medication and restore a normal life, provided of course that you resume at least a somewhat normal diet and not McDonalds, high protein Keto crap, etc. It's really remarkable how such a "disease" can be sold to the public as a lifelong issue.

And my comment there stands. It's gotten worse since then, instead of downvotes I simply get flagged and my content disappears. No point.

Hard to change the mind of a person who believes science is used to direct society towards unbiased conclusions. You are putting a lot of faith in many powerful organizations that work tirelessly to control your state of mind and lifestyle habits.

That has not been my experience. I have often written lengthy comments that simply explained my view on certain topics, and within a few minutes those got flagged which rendered them invisible to others. This place is like Reddit in that regard, when it comes to silencing non mainstream opposing views. I've been here 10 years now, and it's gotten progressively worse in that aspect.

My take on the fake modern science is based on decades of knowledge and experience in various fields, so yes, I can certainly back it up, but I'm not going to spend my afternoon doing this on an HN thread that ultimately gets me flagged and my content gets removed, as has been the case recently.
