If you think a melon or celery represent death more than a piece of steak sliced out of a dirty, diseased cow full of nasty man made food, hormones and "medications".. then you are quite far gone. Hopefully you will see the light before the illnesses kick in for you.

Fast food vegans sure do die. And if you believe that nothing you can eat can be toxic to your body, you already lost in life.

Acids and large protein consumption. Meat, wheat, dairy. Toxic to the human body. It's really quite simple. You eat death, you get death.

You are suffering needlessly my friend. The first 3 days will be tough but you will change your life in ways you currently don't think are possible.

As if we need more reasons to consume even more dead flesh...

Tinfoil in me says this is exactly the point - to bring people like you back for a second chance.

This smells like an attempt by Twitter to get as many users as possible to log in to Twitter so they can report XXXX% increase in monthly active users. With the added bonus of perhaps converting some who gave up on Twitter back into actual active users going forward.

When I wear my tinfoil hat it becomes clear that Cambridge Analytica was a manufactured crisis to give Facebook the public permission and mission to purge developers off its platform, which has been its plan for a while now.

NPR's biggest accomplishment in the last decade is selling people on the idea that NPR is unbiased.

Prime is one of those expenses that I don't bother thinking too much about. It's in the Cost of Living category for our household at this point.

I've heard rumors of Square trying to buy Dialpad.com.

This is the standard HN trap, where I provide links and a dozen commenters respond saying how unreliable these "non scientific" sources are.

There is no point. I'm not trying to convince anyone to do anything. I plant seeds that hopefully will encourage people to take their health in their own hands and reconsider their blind faith and reliance on modern medicine that is strongly incentivized against finding a cure for them. They make money when they keep you breathing, not when you walk away cured.

The robots.txt exlusion loophole has been known for quite a long time.

Companies are already asking for this themselves. There's huge demand for all-calls voice transcription, and companies are willing to pay for it.

I'm old enough to remember StockGeneration.com [1].

Different decade, different suckers.

The naming of their self driving features "autopilot" will go down in history as Tesla's biggest mistake.

The downside is that you are going to be left with a California LLC.

No doubt. Every load of their Like button and Comments widget on millions of sites is saved somewhere, building a nice graph of all the pages you ever visited from a particular IP and probably a cookie the widget saves.

About the presence of the FB Like button and Comments widget on a large portion of the web, and what do they do with the data about all the sites and pages their users visit, which is readily available for Facebook to collect, store and use on any site that includes their widgets and even those that don't by way of the Referrer http header in case the next site you visit has FB widgets.

Facebook has far more data about the pages you visit than an ISP ever will (to which HTTPS pages are invisible unless they employ MITM techniques). Facebook sees it all...

He was very evasive about Facebook tracking users outside of their FB site and mobile apps. Kept saying he doesn't understand the question and "team will get back to you".

It's unfortunate no one (that I've seen) brought up the presence of the Like button and Facebook comments on a large portion of the web, which means Facebook knows pretty much most of the sites and pages you visit (even if the site you visit doesn't include any FB widgets, but the next one you click to does, since they also track the referrer header).

While I disagree with your assertions, if you are the type of person who prefers to live the rest of your life with, say, Crohn's, and be able to still push hard and perform well at the gym, by all means do that. If you're willing to set a side of period of a couple months to heal your body, research more.

It's actually interesting how many people I meet at the gym that from the outside appear very fit and healthy, only to find out they're actually pretty ill, from IBS and other gut issues, thyroid problems, etc. The gym is actually masking many diseases for people because physically they appear healthy.

This will one day be as obvious as cigarettes cause cancer is.

Prolonged fasting (consuming only water for 10 to 40 days) is a highly effective treatment for many diseases, including Crohn's, most other IBS related, diabetes, MS, and many more. At some point in the future we will consider pharma companies, government agencies and other entities hiding this fact to be criminal.

Edit: my personal hope is that water fasting becomes mainstream and cures many people before my HN karma reaches 0.

Why do people get so pedantic over a title? Even if it is confusing at first - so what? I never understood the need to correct such minor details...

This is what is happening in Phoenix metro. Ofo and others are littering sidewalks and business courtyards with their bright bikes that no one uses.

The day Big Pharma finds a way to profit from patients not consuming anything but water for 10 to 40 days and getting rid of diseases that used to require lifelong drug regimen, the research flood gates will open. But ain't gonna happen in my lifetime. There's no money in fasting, and no one can patent it.

Another reason why water fasting is highly effective at curing many diseases.

Depends on the pharma rep in their area.

Take Crohn's for example. Sure you can be on Remicade for a decade with no significant flare-ups. Then the day Remicade stops being effective you're completely screwed. Plus your situation got worse over time, you just didn't get the messages your body has been trying to send you. Remicade was essentially the firewall.

Quite symbolic that my original comment is flagged and now invisible. That's exactly how truth is being suppressed in the US. Original comment was: This shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone. Modern medicine is not in the business of curing diseases. It's all about disease and symptom management.

It doesn't cure any of these disorders. All they can do is reduce the symptoms just enough between each pill you pop.
