some of my readers have emailed me inquiring into nutrition, and, specifically, amino acids. why am i discussing amino acids here? why are they even relevant? why is MAP age-regressing? I get that it's extremely assimilable, they tell me, but why does that matter so much?

here's my answer. amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. trees are made up of amino acids. so are dogs, plants, cows, and all biology on the planet.

if you eat chicken you will get amino acids into your body. eat a tree (lollzz) and you'll get amino acids. the question is, how optimal of a source of amino acids will a given food source be for human biology? what sequence will those amino acids be in to nourish you? will they be *maximally* assimilable? probably not, right? assimilation is spectral––not binary.

so here's a game for you. forget everything you know about nourishment and food. cleanse any intellectual real estate you've devoted to the 'food' construct in your mind. instead, recognize that in order to function biologically optimally (notice how I didn't say 'well'--what would functioning 'well' even mean, anyway?––it's totally normative), we'll most likely want, from a strictly mechanical perspective, macronutrients (proteins, carbohydrates, fats), vitamins and trace minerals. whoever can get these into their system with the least amount of digestive distress wins the game. (this is reductive, i know, and there are other variables, obviously, but I'm trying to provide a clarifying model.)

this is what i'm saying: if you're really trying to intelligently win at this game, inevitably you're going to end up finding something like MAP and using it in high, high doses. that's because it accounts for your entire protein genre perfectly. all essential amino acids get rapidly absorbed into your bloodstream in 23 minutes, with no accompanying digestive distress, oxidative damage, nitrogen waste catabolites, renal or hepatic fatigue.

so you don't need kale, or spirulina, or bee pollen, or hemp seeds. you don't need any particular food. what we have historically called superfoods are just those foods that give us what we need of in abundant proportions while also impacting the body's digestive system minimally. so don't apotheosize kale, then (unless you really want to). apotheosize what it can do for you nutritionally. don't confuse the means for the end game, which is to look and feel awesome, all of the time. so carbohydrates, fats, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, perfect hydration (historically we have used spring water as our preferred catalyst for this last one). find these. what are the best means to these ends? maybe you'll find something i haven't seen yet.

in the most technical sense, all foods are aging, period. because everything needs to get digested, and digestion creates oxidative damage. that being said, some foods age you significantly less than others, whilst also providing abundant retroactive mitigatory variables, like antioxidants, minerals, amino acids, whatever. that's what makes kale a superfood. imagine having a party at your mansion and having a bunch of invitees, but the catch is you have to pay for the parking of each guest. so regardless of who comes, whether it's kobe bryant or your lame nextdoor neighbor, you're paying a fee no matter what. but, certain guests bring more value to your party than others--some are more fun, more polite, more gracious, bring better gifts, know the cutest girls, etc. some guests more than make up for the fee that you incur to get them to your party. that's why kale, after all is said and done, is nutritionally superior to white rice. it has a better value proposition than white rice.

so now that you understand this, what if you and i, all of us, could always consume these higher-value foods? what if we only nourished ourselves, for example, with chlorella (a preeminent detoxifying alga of the ocean with a complete essential fatty acid profile), pine pollen (which, for men, contains all 4 androgen hormones in bio-available forms), and the Master Amino Acid Pattern (MAP), which i've already discussed in depth in other forums? Truth Calkins, Master Daoist Tonic Herbalist of Jing Herbs, has said recently that a synergy along these lines would give you everything you need on a nutritive level and more. now imagine if everybody did that? what if we eschewed the suboptimal and obsessively pursued only the optimal? what would the age of 70(0) look like here on our planet? i wonder if depression would still happen en masse among teenagers, or diabetes, for that matter, or cancer (oops, did i just say that?). what do you suspect, intuitively, here? some of us have already been trying to recreate these social programs, definitions, paradigms for a while now.

why is MAP age-regressing? because it solves the food problem. it marks the onset of a new nourishment paradigm that's about to revamp our collective human anatomy. we need to totally question what nourishment even means. delineate the entire nourishment spectrum, and then reside only on its highest, most refined end. for a long time. then you'll never ever wanna go back.

remember that as the human body processes food damage accumulates, allowing it to fall behind in its to-do list––build bone, skin, hormones, neurotransmitters, whatever. as the functionalities of the various organs decrease, the body's ability to extract nutrients from food decreases correspondingly, compounding the problem, as the body now has less nutrients with which to repair itself. after this has been happening for some time we get what mainstream medicine calls the 'normal symptoms of aging', which begin to appear in small ways at first and than later in more dramatic ways. the premise being examined here is that aging is a compound deficiency syndrome. can that syndrome be retroactively mitigated? ya, "solve the nutritional deficiencies and solve large part of the aging problem, which is a form of disease."

MAP is a part of that biological retroactive mitigation strategy.

the results for me personally after months of megadosing, from an energy point of view, have been unreal. because MAP is giving my body all the materials it needs to repair itself without biological expense, I basically always feel nutritionally satiated without eating substantial quantities of food. i'm going to continue to experiment with high dosages and monitor my biological evolution in the coming months, years to come.
