Best Coffee Rankings, Benefits, Side Effects & Experience
This is going to be the most controversial, but best coffee information you have ever read.
Hopefully.
It won’t be a sales pitch at least.
Many coffee lovers will hate me for part of it, many will love me for another part of it, and be thankful of me for I believe two parts of it.
But because coffee lovers have much more energy than I do, I am going to say up front, that this has been written with a certain degree of cynical humor -just for fun.
Coffee is the black strong drink derived from, dead and dried, roasted then ground beans from the genus Coffea, native to tropical Africa, specifically having its origin in Ethiopia and Sudan and Madagascar, Comoros, and Mauritius in the Indian Ocean. [1]
Two primary strains are Coffea canephora (predominantly a form known as ‘robusta’) and C. arabica. More rare species include C. liberica, C. stenophylla, C. mauritiana, and C. racemosa.
All coffee plants are classified in the large family Rubiaceae, evergreen shrubs or trees that can grow to 5m / 15 ft tall, with green to red-when-ripe berries.
Coffee is a social culture thing too.
The first coffee shop opened in Paris in 1672. Later the city’s most famous coffee shop, el Café Procope, opened 15 years later. This coffee cultivation of the first social realm was arguably the birthplace of the encyclopedia, and an important meeting place during the “French Enlightenment,” which is also the main reason she still operates today.
Interestingly, coffee wasn’t popular at first with everyone in Europe.
Many warned it was the “bitter invention of Satan.” Rumor has it, Clergymen in Venice condemned it. Later Pope Clement VIII gave coffee Papal approval.
Today the Church of Latter Day Saints, outlaws the beverage amongst membership in accordance with their “Word of Wisdom.” This group once recommended damiana herb, which I can testify are incredibly healthy.
I personally do not endorse or recommend coffee in my diet plans and ask my athletes to refrain from more than a cup a day. I recommend none at all.
But I can’t be all against it, the best coffee house once sheltered me as a young man, and the Green Dragon coffee house in Boston was the rebel place where a bunch of rebel types’ decided “to hell with the government” and plotted the soon dumping of the royal tea into the harbor (1773).
The benefits claimed by the coffee houses for their black, leather tanning liquid consumed hot, can be achieved through several other food sources.
Do you take sugar with your coffee? What about cream?
My recommends are, that these two substances be taken in very small percentages of one’s overall consumption, if at all. Anyways, you can read all about the right way to eat in this introduction, later.
Coffee is one of the most consumed beverages worldwide. [2] America however is the largest consumer of coffee at an estimated 1.6 billion cups a day, according to Food Industry News.
I can still hear”Folgers’ in your cup” commercials from the 80’s as I research the seed.
The black brew is a tremendous part of our history today.
There is no import tax on coffee to the U.S.
The stuff is in every TV sitcom, every movie, it’s on almost every corner.
The Smithsonian has published that you “can even drink 25 cups a day and its not bad for your heart!”
That is hardcore! The Best Coffee is a hardcore drink, and our very own personal ND judge of it is hardcore too. So this end’s up being sort of a hardcore black death liquid piece here. Well, I guess that last part seems to be highly debatable.
There is plenty of material to read, of course, we will start off with the best coffee. Feel free to navigate on to the info also..there is no guilt in coffee!
COFFEE RANKINGS
Who knows why, but for some reason this seed always gets roasted…
Caveman take’s it by a landslide. You see my homie is a coffee addict, so he knows the good stuff and had this one all checked out before I wrote the article. In fact, I write this article for you Goo.
Crossbones and saber-tooth predator of man on the cover, this robust black death dark roast is sure to give you bite, or give you a bite. One of the two I could not understand our coffee expert very well he was talking too fast.
He was going to get clean and then found this I understood that part. Then he said, “there is no longer a reason to quit coffee, it is too good now.”
Not only will the logo eat you but the owner of the company will kick your butt everywhere he is a former UFC Champion, Keith “The Dean of Mean” Jardine. Keith is from Albuquerque. Talk about a dangerous substance uh…
The Brazilian grown bean is not your typical dark roast, they say it will satisfy that dark craving, but won’t mute the delicate and beautiful flavors of the special blend. I couldn’t help but notice that this bean is from the same place as Brazilian Ju-Jitsu and Royce Gracie is.
One of the verified customer ratings said “5.0 out of 5 stars This is legitimately the best coffee I have ever had!” That is also my friend’s, our judges’ same words.
Looking over the company website, these guys are obvious coffee lovers and it sounds like good souls are behind it, according to Joe Rogan anyway, who I feel is a great source for info… if I can add anything classy it would be that clearly the producers are tough people that have put a lot into their coffee, and the result says it all.
2. Kimera
Kimera Koffee Original Roast. Organic ground coffee infused with essential brain vitamins (12oz). A rich, organic coffee bean with cognitive enhancers to boost energy levels, brain function, memory, focus, and athletic performance .

I don’t know where this product gets it’s name, but the most known “Kimera” Walusimbi was the third king of the Kingdom of Buganda between 1374 and 1404. His grandson clubbed him in the head and succeeded him. The DNA strand on the cover gives reference to… mortality?
Another fan favorite this black juice of dead bean, Kimera Koffee has over 600 happy reviews. The latest verified purchase as of today commented that they “5.0 out of 5 stars : Will be a customer as long as Kimera Koffee is still being produced!”
Props for making it a brain packed focus enhancer.
Consumer tip: This well-priced coffee loaded with thought stuff, may as well be stacked with some more. This way the shipping is free…
3. Kicking Horse
Since its a 2.2 pound bag you just barely get the free shipping. It is still very well priced.
There is no doubt you will like this one 4 thousand other happy customers do. I think the name well describes what you want from a morning drink. Unless you have actually been kicked by a horse then you may not want the reminder or to think of the related effect that way.
This Indonesian , South American bean mix, grown in a socially and environmentally responsible way, by farmers with sustainable businesses they can depend on.
Okay…. so far we can get eaten by a lion, owned by a UFC fighter, clubbed or kicked by a horse. What’s next?
4. Death Wish
It’s sounds crazy saying this but, Death Wish has over 16 thousand happy customers.
Like our number one pick there are crossed bones on the package.
Customers can feel like they are being honest with themselves.
It could really encompass all three of the products that outranked it, because getting eaten, beaten, or kicked could all be apart of one’s death wish.
What more do you need to you 16k liked you will too.
5. Koffee Kult
If a name can’t say it all eh!
I can’t help but think Kool-Aid is also with a K. The be one of us thing at the bottom is scary. Can you dare to come and drink from the dark fountain?
According to more than three thousand customers this Kult is good. 32 Ounces of Kult can be shipped free to your door.
One customer said “This coffee is simply fantastic. It’s almost like drinking dark chocolate!”
I think you should order it.
6. Black Rifle
Ah…. ehh… just when we thought we had all death wish options covered, we forgot the o-so appealing Black Rifle method. With 5 star across the board rating , over 454 bodies, one of whom said “truly awesome coffee.”
The well-priced Veteran Owned brand has proved to be a successful up and coming blend.
Consumer tip: This well-priced coffee could go well with some coconut oil, which many dietitians recommend with coffee consumption. This way the order’s shipping is free…
7. Valhalla
Did you want to go to Valhalla by chance with the death wish? We have just the coffee for you.
It says you can harness the power of Odin. This is the one for me.
Who is the death wish now?
8. Shock
Ok so this is what your little workers get if they don’t get their death wish. A Shock. A good one. So maybe the black death liquid is okay every now again for microbial training.
141 happy and shocked individuals.
It has been bragged about on CNBC and FOX. Imagine that in a day like today.
Consumer tip: Order the 3-pound bag to get the free shipping and so the shock doesn’t stop.
9. Black Label
Well so if it couldn’t get any worse here we have Black Label Coffee from Devil Mountain try to say he is the strongest one.
10. Napalm Individuals
Since we are going through all this hell…. I figured you may need some individual packages. This time we are not playing around. This time we are talking Napalm.
COFFEE BENEFITS
There are certain categories such as “one of the world’s largest and most important economical crops,” which are actually reasons for sales and deception in the interest of pockets, that also grow and the information behind this type of large industry, I myself become more skeptical of. The overwhelming push and door-opening (such as no import tax) from every direction for this enormous industry also has me skeptical.
I am also someone who has seen the countless error-ridden study and a completely flawed set of standards regarding how studies are produced.
Roasted coffee is a mixture of over 1000 bioactive compounds, with potentially therapeutic antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti-fibrotic, and anticancer effects, lower risk of cardiovascular disease, and premature mortality. Studies have been conducted that show coffee to be beneficial to type II diabetes, liver conditions, and more. [x, x]
…so if dead seed liquid does this what does live fruit liquid without seed (to be planted) do?
According to the study funding source Institute for Scientific Information on Coffee (ISIC), and other “Epic” studies; coffee is excellent for you in every way! It will make you live longer and everything! [1,2]
Certain studies indicate that daily coffee drinkers reduced their risk of dying prematurely compared with non-drinkers by 7–12%. [x]
There could be biofuel possibilities in coffee, and sugarcane, and corn, crops that speak to some of the largest cultivation in the world today. [x]
I found this study a bit less conflicted, and this dive found a weak enemy to colon cancer cells. It was thought that the resistance could have been the caffeine boost to the other agents of the immune system. [x]
COFFEE SIDE EFFECTS
Coffee side effects can be increased heart rate, trouble sleeping, the shakes, irritability, acid reflux, and trouble concentrating.
In terms of the microbiome, the inside central energy producer of the human organism who takes in fuel and pumps out energy that is an actual organic micro-garden-culture; dumping hot black strongly acidic liquid made from the roasted seed, over things may not be so good.
That being said, several ancient cultures have had hot drinks, the reasons for which are unknown, but our current culture is not the first time.
It has been recommended that pregnant women refrain from coffee, and those with a high propensity to break bones. [x]
The effect that the acidic substance has on the heart rate is generally concerning to a nutritionist, and my general feeling is that if used, use a few times a week. The trade-off with a pre-workout supplement for caffeine or another stimulant boost, and also trade-off with no caffeine at all.
The idea that day to day performance is enhanced by coffee is something I am definitely not convinced of, regardless of how many studies say it will make you live longer. By the way, there is a lot you can do to make yourself live longer.
People with hypertension, children, adolescents, and the elderly, may be more vulnerable to the adverse effects of caffeine.
In addition, currently available evidence suggests that it may be prudent for pregnant women to limit coffee consumption to 3 cups/d providing no more than 300 mg/d of caffeine to exclude any increased probability of spontaneous abortion or impaired fetal growth. [x] These limits seem a bit high to me for someone pregnant.
COFFEE EXPERIENCE
The exact content and volume of bioactive compounds in coffee depends on many conditions, such as coffee species, the plantation where the coffee was grown, bean roasting time and procedure, grinding, and preparation method(s) as well as more dynamic factors.
I have seen a few legit permaculture coffee farms, and I have some design stuff for maybe the best permaculture coffee farm that has ever been.
Seeds (not sprouted) are another one I have left out of most of my diet plans. Even beans. I am not saying their is not a nutritional use for these things, there is. I have followed what I believe to be an advanced leg of the top diet science today, that when the right species are compiled, my pure leaf concoctions have really been doing some amazing things to athletic performance.
I have also possibly noticed a small bit of a breaks application, lag or slow down that seems to be created by beans and seeds. Dr. Steven Gundry, author of the Plant Paradox, a must-have for any serious nutritionist, in my opinion, a great teacher in the field of diet science, and a gut microbiome specialist says “no seed foods.”
“Apes don’t eat beans or grains or grass. Beans are so lethal five raw kidney beans will kill a human in five minutes from coagulation.” – Dr. Grundy
I know through experience it does lessen vitamin uptake for foods consumed around the time the drink is. Yet, there seems to be a tradition mostly European, that dumps coffee all over one’s food right after eating it.
My experiments for a short time with the jet black hot liquid gave me a few reasons to believe the rumor is true and more is converted to fat for storage rather than used when this after meal koffee consumption takes place.
Don’t take the black tannic within an hour of a meal. [x]
Don’t forget about the cold shower as a great wake up, or pick me up.
Interestingly in the Mountains of Cartago Costa Rica, more amazing coffee plant stories, and strains, a colleague produces a green coffee said to be twice as probiotic as the normal stuff.
There I also learned that the coffee fruit is the real antioxidant miracle.
The black drink back in coffee hay day was likely a spicy chocolate, avocado, and possibly containing the coffee fruit, and at times things like damiana.
The thin layer of coffee fruit can be juiced. Today it is discarded, roasted away.
According to one group, from this mountain location which is so far the only ancestral culture I have found who knew this information saying it is the “most antioxidant fruit on earth.”
There is hot water under that mountain in various places one spring I visited the water came out at surely 130 degrees, I did not have a thermometer at the time. It is incredible up there, so beautiful, so rich.
I remember when Volcano Turrialba spit ash, San Jose had black ash everywhere as if it snowed black. Cars would drive around whipping it up and there was just a black film in the air and a thicker one on every leaf and parked auto.
A friend and I made a smoothie with the volcanic ash, in a ceremony to the Volcano Gods.
The economical importance of coffee is well dug in.
Almost no coffee product in the world is permaculture grown.
The monocultures and the chemicals provided to facilitate their out of balance insane cultivation are a tragedy beyond belief killing off all fish from rivers, and poisoning the soils with likely irreversible results after a certain amount of time and murdering millions of insects, and deforming thousands of larger animals.
This level of mass extinction, deformation, mutation, and abuse of insects, and pollinators are bound for MAJOR DISASTER We have been officially now issued a 12 year crisis by the environmental sciences community.
The coffee plant had hoped we would enjoy its powerful fruit throwing it’s seed because she like all species on earth wants to procreate and continue. Sadly most of these plants are robbed of that one, and their seeds will never sow.
Unfortunately so far a lot of my experience with coffee cultivation today is not good. Coffee plantation owners, many of them personally seem abusive and noncaring economical giants who can’t wait to mention their coffee plantation at the wine party. I am just over all of that I guess.
Even with the great opportunity, there is to do permaculture coffee farming, the thing we will have to continually watch out for is permaculture coffee fraud.
I am working towards a mountain permaculture coffee crop right now myself. It is for the fruit, I will have a coffee fruit juice among other delights in a diverse crop management system I have spent years (6+) studying for and designing.
The answer to joint and bone weakness or pain from coffee and other high caffeine doses is bone broth. I have yet to discover the vegetarian solution although I do know that thousands of powerful options are there.
I can sort of encapsulating my feelings better in a letter:
COFFEE DISCUSSION
Dear Boquete,
The Caldera river has no fish, because of your mono-culture coffee plantations that are routinely sprayed with terrible chemical agents. These chemical fungicides and other agents are necessary only because of the monoculture style in which your plantations are planted.
The rust is a literal product of how far from balance this monoculture style is. You can read more about the mono-culture error here. [x,y]
The mangosteen shell is a great alternative to the chemicals. Powerful food for the coffee plant. Strong plant, no disease. The mangosteen comes in at the same recommended time as the chemical is called for. There are other things that will work other than the mangosteen shell.
What these coffee plants really need is their community. Plants in nature you might notice grow among millions of other species. Known as diverse living, healthy nature -they need their plant buddies.
They need competitors and other species to mingle with and they need competitors for the insects and fungi that like them.
Your production will actually go up by removing some of the monoculture plants and restoring some diversity.
As a cultivator one has responsibility after reading this to do their babies right. To look up the principles of permaculture. Get the Permaculture Bible, study it, and work towards repairing this tragedy.
Nothing any of you grow will be free of this deadly stuff that has killed all of the fish in this great river that should have tons! Legend is you could not cross this river once without being pelted by many.
Should word get out, it will affect the overall reputation of the mountain and her coffee, your precious pockets, and the overall economy.
On the other hand, there is a great opportunity that can come from this letter, to see Boquete take the world lead in permaculture has grown chemical-free coffee.
An award-winning story of a special community coming together to restore life to a now lifeless river would be great publicity for you! Not to mention the balance of nature will be fortunate for you with a balance of produce – a balance of life.
Fishing is a family activity.
So many fish could live and run in that river if not poisoned, and fisheries could be a new business in a healthier mountain – that should have some of the best high mineral water ever.
The black gold you have for soil could be bagged and sold as is, if not for the high chemicals it is consistently saturated with, thanks to the greatly unfortunate ignorance, or arrogance I am still not sure which.
Don’t beat yourselves up too badly about it (I know you won’t), while science can identify knowledge of farmers as a key problem to an ecologist, they can’t ever identify monoculture farming as their error. [x]
Also, I can’t help but notice several tourism businesses, that cage wild animals and insects, and charge to see it. This sort of cruelty is uncalled for, and the karmic price is on the entire community. The justification seems to be “well we provided shelter or a sanctuary.” … No, you provided imprisonment. Most Boquete residents seem … better than this..
This glorious volcanic area can provide for so much more, and incredible Avatar-like movie ecology and wildlife.
The possibilities of health and greatness can one day take place of the current, interests, or lack of knowledge that has the poisoned the gorgeous hills and valleys there – and the effect that is not seen but KILLS.
I love you Sincerely Boquete and hope that you can prosper Boquete, that the toxifiers there can become purifiers and really turn it around. For these things I humbly I pray.
If it happens the only future death will be this letter’s validity. The one thing I hope you agree, moving forward that needs to die.
– The Nutritionally Diverse Intelligence, that is out there for all to find
PLANT CARE
I have worked with plenty of species of coffee, Geisha, Arabic, a very rare Costa Rican green coffee strain. Outside of monoculture models coffee is an incredibly strong plant.
I try to convince the farmers to diversify the large fields with a few more crops.
Some final words for the fallen:
If you didn’t think it could get any worse, the black juice saga continues…
The process to get it is simple. Even with today’s product push, coffee can be as little as .10 cents a cup. So it’s cheap and hey everybody is doing it.
The liquid-like alcohol is too extreme to be consumed on a regular basis, a great tool from a sacred plant should be used within a large diversity and make up no more .02% of the overall intake.
The microbiome will need time to heal from this so daily consumption is not recommended!
Powdered chocolate can go in the coffee machine and it is a bit more healthy for us, although if you put a bit of time into things you can come up with a kick but energy smoothie that is not involved with hot extracts.
I recommend certain energy supplements to help coffee addicts come off the black death, or black rifle.. death wish, whatever..
I don’t think any hot extract liquid is balanced enough for consumption, so I myself don’t employ them.
Remember the plantation will produce more and taste better if grown in a permaculture coffee method. This way you can produce more healthy stuff with your death wish!
Whole foods go great in cold drinks and the microbiome loves that!
The dead bean waste, after being roasted and drowned again in boiling water is a great substrate for mushrooms, compost assistive fungi, and large amounts of waste are great for killing grass and any plants there.
The judge of the coffee ranking (above), our friend Goo; ran around in circles so fast during the creation of this piece that his hair still stands as a swirl right now several days later. You have never seen anything like it.
Two new wrinkles appeared on his face, grey hair content moved up 12% and he stayed on the toilet for about 2 hours. He now complains of acid reflux symptoms, sugar sores in his stomach, as he talks a million miles a minute telling me about how it’s good for him and he can show me a million scientific studies about coffee to prove it.
Science these days man….
I keep thinking of how science came out with a study that olive was oil was bad for cooking with. Then vegetable oil comes out and is the main product used for cooking. Health rates decline overall, and then studies debunk the previous saying olive oil is fine and the hydrogenated vegetable oil is black death.
One thing I like to say is man the doctors and experts [explicative] people up!
He is scared to face the truth, he is scared to quit the super dark, and I just don’t do fear so …..
COFFEE CONTENDERS
The first recommendation in this discussion is a personal friend of mine Mark H.’s group that has a great farm outside Medillin, and imports to the states. The title falls right in with the theme, and do try Fainting Goat.
We have a few more runner-up products that one day may make it to the final staging point.
Ok, this coffee stuff seems like it can get a bit ugly uh… You may want to get bulletproof.
You want to be careful not to damage your soul with this stuff! Wake the hell up!
Listen all coffee mountains are going through the stuff I talked about in my letter to this mountain. We are in an age of toxicity and deception. The opportunity for a permaculture coffee to make premium dollars is well there and we hope to see it soon. In the meantime, these guys have earned 945 views with their bean.
and right back into the fire with this Boquete bean.. that made 495 blow up hyper enough to leave a review!¬
The Cuban B -ean ! Far from Half Baked, this guy is roasted!
I am told this book mentions that coffee kills and that king wanted us to think it was good for us so we would work harder and eat less. I now offer pre workouts on my construction sites.

Best Cordyceps Mushrooms, Benefits & Experience
Best cordyceps mushrooms are a genus of parasitic fungi that grows on the larvae of insects that have been mentioned since the days of old Ancient Chinese herbal literature and used over Centuries as the cure to 21 different ailments in total. [1]
They work as fungi that attack their insect host body and as the larvae grow the slender stems that grow inside and outside the being take control of the caterpillar or other host and guide the creature into a dark damp place where it can go into a spore production cycle fulfilling the final biological destiny of procreation.
Here at our study center in Panama, we call it “Zombie Powder,” and only effective stuff earns nicknames around this place. It is a Zombie stamina increase too; the substance will definitely help keep you going, in our experience.
Since we started incorporating these fungi in our routine we clearly incorporated an output multiplier as several performance markers really went up across the board for testers, namely stamina for non-endurance athletes. This is in our own research and testing and only this way can one really come up with accurate consumption guidelines.
“If you want to put it out, you have to put it in.”
The remains of the insect and fungi are then hand-collected, dried, and used to treat fatigue, sickness, kidney disease, and low sex drive.
The best cordyceps mushroom supplements on the market today usually do not include the insects and are grown using alternative mediums.
Ophiocordyceps sinensis (renamed 2007), Sphaeria sinensis grows on the larvae of the caterpillar Hepialus armoricanus Oberthur. Traditionally the caterpillar and the fungi are consumed together.
There could be several different versions of the particular species, such as those collected in Bhutan. [2]
I often wonder in the garden if extreme strength or ability can be made from the foundation of extreme nutrition – of course, it does.
Nutritional Biodiversity Diet Model Basic: Our entire idea here is to form a minimum of 60 species, highly diverse, strategicly designed nutrition plans derived from non-monoculture cropping systems, and measure up dramatic increases in performance
Okay, let’s get into the best cordyceps mushroom supplements available.
BENEFITS
Lab tests and Centuries of use suggest the best cordyceps promote anti-aging and sustained youthfulness, exercise performance enhancements, and heart health.
Several great athletic tests have gone on with this fungi species and the clear result of performance enhancement is there! It’s great also because we get to see a model for our own athletic nutrition testing of the NDdiet. (x)
Best cordyceps athletic test findings support the belief held in China that Cs-4 could improve oxygen uptake or aerobic capacity and ventilation function and resistance to fatigue of elderly people in exercise. [3] This is a great supplement for older people.
Cordyceps have effects on both innate body immunity and adaptive immunity, furthermore, cordyceps also feature a modulatory effect on the stomach’s overall immune system, which may further influence systemic immune function. These same scientific examinations and studies show cordyceps fungi types to be anti-tumor acting medicine, as well as protective effects to the kidneys and anti-hypoglycemic effects. [4]
Swimming tests confirm fatigue resistance and I am a big long-distance ocean swimmer, so this is important to me. [5]
SIDE EFFECTS
There is a wealth of testimony out there now to the great effects that these best cordyceps are having on people. There are not too many side effects reported and the amount of existing documentation for studying use is immense. [9]
You may not want to take the best cordyceps if you have a myelogenous type of cancer such as AML or CML. Cordyceps mushrooms have been shown to increase the proliferation of red blood precursor cells, who arise from the same lineage as the cells that cause myelogenous cancers.
Or, if you are taking insulin or other blood-glucose-lowering medications as cordyceps may have an additive hypoglycemic effect and so blood glucose should be monitored.
If a drug is taken that has a “blood-thinning” activity, cordyceps may further increase the risk of heavy bleeding. [6]
Likely recognized initially for the appearance of animal transformation into a plant, this fungi-insect relationship as a food has been thoroughly investigated and used in ancient Asian cultures. [7]
Learning and memory improvements were dynamically shown through supplementation animal testing describes as
This is an interesting study where model, where learning and memory impairment was established via injection of scopolamine hydrobromide and the effects of different doses of Cordyceps polypeptide, delivered intra-gastrically were investigated physical tests such as a maze, the measurement of several biological indexes in the serum, and brain tissue of the mice, and the identification of differentially expressed genes and the related cellular signaling pathways. The results showed that Cordyceps polypeptide could improve learning and memory. [8]
Drink more water while taking a cordyceps supplement.
EXPERIENCE
There are some indications that cordyceps fermentation could produce a much more stunning set of results. Possibly cordyceps kombucha is a worthwhile experiment for the team. [x]
Abstractly, when I think of how the next generation spores would find new caterpillars, it must be a combination of intelligently chasing new colonies of the caterpillars with the zombie caterpillar body and maybe even intelligent flight of the spore to the new larvae? It’s hard to imagine a species of fungi that survives this way. Such an incredible species it’s no doubt the two possess together such marvelous medical miracles.
Our cordyceps experience is just beginning, but we will be sure to update this section as that experience grows in knowledge, scientific confirmations, and new discoveries.
Powdered cordyceps should not be mixed with oils, and should be mixed with dense fiber foods that can bind to the powder. Blend thoroughly.
A dose too heavy can cause intestinal pains and constipation.
I had some candy-coated cashews the other day that tasted just like them. Someone gave them to me, as I haven’t not been doing seed foods for a few years now.
It has been noticed that one week to 30-day intensive consumption has great benefit, and it has been felt that 30days could be the best end of the cycle for this consumable.
We find the substance most favorable for running and swimming.
DISCUSSION
With the best cordyceps product ranking, we were very pleased to find great availability for this lesser-known and lesser emphasized age-old superfood.
Bulk Supplements Company is a great supplier of pure well-made and authentic supplements and they offer a cordyceps product that we tried and it was amazing! Very effective athletic performance supplement we are very thankful to have in the “go box.”
General user satisfaction is exceptionally high with this product among all manufacturers we ranked.
✪ Update! Today November 17, 2019, as an ode to Paul Stamens and hearty thanks for his new book to include the shared discovery of the mycelial brain networks on the Joe Rogan Experience (#1385); we talk benefits, the best cordyceps available and possible benefits and side effects that come with their use.

Ultimate Fighters Are Considered Ultimate Athletes : What is the Ultimate MMA Diet!?
As the sport of Ultimate Fighting, otherwise known as Mixed Martial Arts or MMA for short, grows in popularity, many sports enthusiasts have described the fighters as ultimate athletes. A sport where players take more risks and get put to more demanding tests than other athletes in other sports. This kind of ultimate performance should have a more robust diet then too. Let’s check out what could be some of the best MMA diet information ever constructed.
Just so happens we can tell you the ultimate diet, that no one quite has sited in yet. Also, the ultimate fitness & nutrition coaching that you need.
Here is a fun one for you, we asked the A.I. to build us the ultimate diet for a UFC fighter.
Here is what it gave us:
Designing a diet plan for a UFC fighter requires careful consideration of their training intensity, weight class goals, and individual needs. Here’s a sample diet plan that can serve as a starting point. However, it’s important for the fighter to consult with a sports nutritionist or dietitian to tailor the plan to their specific requirements.
Note: This sample diet plan assumes the fighter is in a training camp and has a moderate to high training volume.
Meal 1 – Breakfast:
- Oatmeal with mixed berries, nuts, and a scoop of protein powder.
- Whole-grain toast with avocado.
- Scrambled eggs with spinach and bell peppers.
- Freshly squeezed orange juice or water.
Meal 2 – Mid-Morning Snack:
- Greek yogurt with honey and sliced bananas.
- Handful of almonds or mixed nuts.
Meal 3 – Lunch:
- Grilled chicken breast or lean turkey.
- Quinoa or brown rice.
- Steamed vegetables (broccoli, carrots, asparagus).
- Side salad with mixed greens and olive oil vinaigrette.
Meal 4 – Afternoon Snack:
- Rice cakes with almond butter.
- Carrot and celery sticks with hummus.
Meal 5 – Pre-Training:
- Grilled fish (salmon, tuna) or lean beef.
- Sweet potatoes or whole-grain pasta.
- Steamed or grilled mixed vegetables.
- A small serving of fruit (apple, pear).
Meal 6 – Post-Training:
- Whey protein shake with water.
- Banana or other easily digestible carbohydrate source.
Meal 7 – Dinner:
- Lean protein source (chicken, turkey, fish) or plant-based protein.
- Quinoa or brown rice.
- Steamed or sautéed vegetables.
- Mixed salad with a variety of colorful veggies.
Meal 8 – Evening Snack:
- Cottage cheese with mixed berries.
- Herbal tea or water.
Important Nutritional Considerations:
- Hydration: Stay hydrated throughout the day by drinking water regularly.
- Protein: Ensure sufficient protein intake to support muscle recovery and growth.
- Carbohydrates: Include complex carbohydrates to fuel training sessions and replenish glycogen stores.
- Fats: Incorporate healthy fats from sources like avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil.
- Vitamins and Minerals: Eat a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables for essential vitamins and minerals.
- Timing: Consume a balanced meal containing protein and carbohydrates before and after training.
- Weight Management: If cutting weight for a specific class, consult with a nutritionist to create a safe and effective weight-cutting strategy.
Remember, every fighter’s body is different, so it’s crucial to adjust the plan based on individual preferences, training intensity, and dietary requirements. Regular monitoring and adjustments, preferably with the guidance of a professional, are essential for optimal performance and health.
The extreme performance and extreme nutritional need make it very interesting for a nutritional botanist concerned with athletics such as myself to look at these fighters’ diets. Over the course of this year, I have taken an in-depth look at two of the ‘ultimate, MMA guys,’ their diets, and their hired nutritionists. I have also discussed how the Nutritional Diversity diet can help establish a baseline guarantee of nutritional coverage for any athlete and any fighter.
I can talk about MMA cause I have done it my whole life, on the pavement too many times for free! I am born and raised in Albuquerque – to the bone -, and I am personally coming out of the most victorious MMA camp in the world.
I can talk about diet cause I work currently in Panama on the cutting edge diet today in the world.
Remember that without enough water, your performance, your results, and your technique will not improve!
Us real people we like to hear from people who do it and not just say it. I prefer someone who says nothing and does their work dependably over all other types. Speaking of too much gab – let’s get to it.
Finding the Ultimate MMA Diet is not so easy…
What is the best MMA diet to have behind you to support killer MMA training? What would it take diet-wise to step training to a new level?
MMA fighters suffer serious injuries regularly, and they need to have all the bases covered. If what they say about your nutrition being the largest part of your success and performance is true, what exact nutrition plan will I employ?
The fight is won or lost far away from witnesses – behind the lines, in the gym, and out there on the road, long before I dance under those lights. -Muhhamed Ali
Whether or not you are an MMA fan, you have to admit a Mixed Martial Arts Fighter is a tested athlete who must be dexterous, and well rounded on stamina and strength, well engaged in mindful focus, that must be fast and able to switch gears and rhythms on the flash.
His or her joints and bones need lots of support both nutritionally and conditionally to take that kind of beating they take in the ring or octagon.
A fighters mind needs to be firing on all pins to see and defend the diverse set of attacks that could be coming at them.
Fighter Diet
Clearly, when it comes to the pro’s and doing things right in this MMA sport, the MMA diet nutrition has to be a science. Many nutritionists, trainers, and athletes claim food is the biggest part of the equation contributing to the final performance.
This science of biology and food conversion is ultimately a science of love, and of how to take optimal care of ourselves. To start, I want to take a look at what I can find out about what these top MMA guys out there today eat for their MMA diet, and see about getting together the beginnings of an Ultimate MMA Diet plan that could even improve existing performance all on its own. This is what the ND biodiverse food study is all about.
John Jones & Loutrition Diet
John Jones, two-time undefeated Light Heavyweight Champion of the UFC with 22 wins, 9 by knockout, 6 by submission, and one loss by disqualification, has been considered by many the greatest MMA fighter of all time (GOAT). John Jones trains at the Greg Jackson-Wink Academy in Albuquerque now and since 2012, and is originally from New York.
I am big Jones fan cause he is the best and he is the smartest and he knows to train on my team. 😉
According to Play it on Point, this is a diet example for Johnny ‘Bones’ Jones. He mentions the use of black rice in his interview, and other ingredients on occasion, of course, not listed below.
Breakfast: 2.5 fl. oz low-fat, plain kefir 0.5 oz (medium) banana 1/2 tbsp peanut butter 1.5 oz oatmeal
Lunch: 21.4 oz water 2.5 oz ground turkey breast – no skin 4.5 eggs – egg whites 2.5 cups spinach 9.5 oz pineapple (9.5 oz) 1/2 tbsp olive oil
Snack Meal: 21 oz water 2.5 oz low-fat, plain Greek yogurt 1/2 cup grapes 3 Brazil nuts
Dinner: 21 oz water 5.5 oz tilapia 1/2 medium lemon 2.5 cups collard greens 2 medium tomatoes 1/2 tbsp olive oil
In one quick video for MMA TV in November of 2015, John sat down to eat a “5x, in 2 weeks meal” of, oatmeal, whole-grain toast, potatoes, blueberries, an omelet, and 2 grilled chicken breasts from the Albuquerque restaurant Flying Star. Interesting to me that three starch and grain foods are eaten together in this portion of his MMA diet.
I don’t know how credible a source or how current the information is above but John Jones told USA Today in April 2016 that he now adheres to the tutelage of nutritionist Louis Giordano, in a highly intelligent well-informed system, a carbohydrate-based diet, where even cake can be eaten, if it is in the correct balance with other foods. He mentions in the article that he realized how wrong he had been eating, and made lots of corrections.
I myself have lost respect, and become disappointed in the UFC, and the U.S. sports commissions being that the king in the game was obviously set up, and a deserved career and deserving fans are all robbed such incredible possibilities. I know being a guy from Jackson’s camp, the likely hood of him knowingly being involved with illegal enhancement substances is so very close to, if not is; no chance.
Good to see Jones back in the cage now, putting down his opponents like the tune never skipped a beat.
Lou Giordano, also known as ‘Loutrition,’ who has worked with several Legendary Fighters such as Dan Henderson, BJ Penn, and Andrei Arlovski, is a major proponent against the dreaded ‘weight cut,’ where a fighter will dehydrate himself to lose ten pounds(or more), and then eat like a goat to try to come back to 100% for the fight. Johnny Hendrix fell places from the title shot he could almost smell, taken out before entering the ring ever, to the hospital from his weight cut, and then hired Giordano also.
Titan FC Fighter Jose Torres, another client of Giordano’s tells Cage Pages that he photographs each meal, and sends notes on his weight and workout, how he felt and other data to the nutrition guru, who would work out his next day that night, keeping a daily balance managed so the fighter stays on point. The guru seems to be a fan of 5 to 6 meals a day.
GSP & Dr. Berardi
George Saint Pierre or GSP for short is another one who is arguably the pound-for-pound greatest of all time. The French-speaking Quebecer, pioneered his MMA career from loved developed from martial arts movies, in a place where not many martial arts were available in the school setting.
GSP holds a mixed martial arts record of 26 wins with 8 knockouts, and 6 submissions, two losses and is the former Welterweight and Middleweight Champion of the UFC.
In 2009 just after defending his title against BJ Penn, GSP hired Dr. John Berardi who is the creator of the Surge recovery product, and the Precision Nutrition team, a fitness software creator and coaching program, which caters heavily to nutritionists and coaches. Dr. Berardi found and recruited two chefs in the area to the team, preparing stuff that looks like this:
– 1 lower carb anytime meal to be eaten whenever you like: 650 calories – 60g protein, 40g carbs, 30g fat
– 1 lower carb anytime meal o be eaten whenever you like: 650 calories – 60g protein, 40g carbs, 30g fat
– 1 high-carb post-exercise meal to be eaten immediately after training (a recipe that can be eaten cold): 700 calories – 60g protein, 100g carbs, 10g fat
“Georges’ baseline menu is about 3200-3500kcal per day, with around 250 grams of protein, 350 grams of carbs, and 100 grams of fat. Post-workout meals are higher in protein and carbs, while being lower in fat, and eaten right after workouts. Evening meals are higher in protein and fat while being low in carbs.”
In the Case of GSP research was easy, and these guys have been very forthcoming with their diet supplements planning. Traditional meal ingredients that are organic are employed to achieve the baseline goals, and are supplemented by 2 Shakes (per day): 1 shake at a time, between meals, mixed with almond milk or water 4 fish oil capsules 1 scoop milk-based protein powder 1 scoop greens supplement 1 cup frozen mixed berries; (282 calories – 18g protein, 25g carbs, 12g fa)t. Before training: ½ protein bar Immediately after training: 1 Surge Recovery drink (330 calories – 25g protein, 44g carbs, 1g fa)t. Followed by a post-workout meal 1 hour later.
Brands are Muscle Milk protein powder from CytoSport, Greens+ from Genuine Health, Flameout fish oil capsules from Biotest. Finbar from Biotest: 125 calories – 7g protein, 20g carbs, 4g fat, Surge Workout Fuel from Biotest: 85 calories – 8g protein, 21g carbs, 0 fat
Approximate Total Baseline Intake: 3104 calories – 256g protein (30%), 315 carbs (40%), 99g fat (30%), and GSP is my size (170-200) so this was cool to see.
Stay tuned for a part two and three, of looking for the best MMA diets.
Just for Fun
Not knock to Loutrition, or this diet, if this is even still or ever was it (*references below_).. I am telling ya too that I write this with your eyes and mind in the forefront, I would design a much different thing in person, but many of the names of ingredients are unknown outside of very technical references. In other words I am writing a simple “just for fun,” and for an initial abstract formulation of a serious diet plan down the road for this.
See more about the Panama study where we actually do this here.
(contains meat*)
Breakfast: 2.5 fl. oz low-fat, plain kefir 0.5 oz (medium) banana 1/2 tbsp peanut butter 1.5 oz oatmeal.
I allways wonder if athletes tell it all in interviews
. I am sure they don’t share their best secrets. This is what I might think up for a super diet EXAMPLE and slowly try to refine:
All Central American Permaculture & wild foods: 1 plantain, 2 leaves culantro, 6 leaves wild zornia, 2 ounces of fresh jackfruit, 4 mangosteen fruit, 1/2 ounce baked vegetable state breadfruit, shredded carrot, and homegrown tomato as a salad. 1/4 ounce ambrosia Peruvianna a.k.a. American ragweed blended with : 1/2 mango fruit and 1 leaf, 1/4 avocado and 1 leaf, 3 leaves cranberry hibiscus, 3 leaves pogonia, 6 leaves mugwort, 2 leaves hogweed, 1 Eugenes Victoriana fruit, 1 starfruit, coconut water, and turkey tail mushroom. Large mustard leaf and one large kail or turmeric leaf used to role: 1/16 ounce of each lovage leaf, parsley head, and stem, mini shoots wild, gotu kola, and wild clover.
I would alternate this with intermittent fasting sometimes. One day this big breakfast next day intermittent fast. Revving up for a big breakfast in the morning will enhance the effects of the fast.
Lunch: 21.4 oz water 2.5 oz ground turkey breast – no skin 4.5 eggs – egg whites 2.5 cups spinach 9.5 oz pineapple (9.5 oz) 1/2 tbsp olive oil
This is quite a good lunch, and since he has been on it we might as well keep it in place as there is a small adjustment and getting used to sufficient full spectrum Nutritional Diversity diet plans. A couple of things to note are, that pineapples have been worked over, and harshly augmented in many cases – its crucial to get a homegrown pineapple of a more original strain. They are almost always monoculture crops. Also, this has happened to the common “Chiquita” banana.
Snack Meal: 21 oz water 2.5 oz low-fat, plain Greek yogurt 1/2 cup grapes 3 Brazil nuts
Might consider consuming the water at a different time than the food. Might also look at goat cheese, or milk as an alternative to the cow. Or being this is snack meal, throw all that in the blender with coconut and the water from it, a few other nuts, at least 7 different greens, a
20 species of plant leaf, mango and pineapple fruit
few flowers and maybe some cacao or jackfruit.
Dinner: 21 oz water 5.5 oz tilapia 1/2 medium lemon 2.5 cups collard greens 2 medium tomatoes 1/2 tbsp olive oil
Diner pretty good too, again there is a water intake toggle that can be honed, in order to somewhat throttle digestion. It is an important tool, especially for athletes. If the tilapia had a nutritionally diverse diet it’s a better fish. Also, most are blown away at how delicious a rich mix of functionally nutritious wild and select other greens can be. Cooked greens should be at least 50% of a good diet. In a diversity of more than 60, and 10% of it all fresh as appetizer and vitality system activator you have yourself a revolutionary diet in modern times.
Notes on future study
It’s a sweet daydream of mine, behind the shovel when my mind wanders off, with this “food art,” to work with some pro martial artists, and I wholeheartedly believe any athlete who comes here to the tropics and fully incorporates the complete findings of this biodiverse food study, is bound to have similar results as the 300+ we have observed over the last few years.
The Ultimate MMA Fighters’ & Diet Arts
Thinking in a no-limits fashion, with no vilification of any foods, but with the goal of having a calculated and well-budgeted ingredients list, organized by time of the meal, training sessions, and rest sessions; my thoughts on the diet, and the information and diet plans I am able to find, feel too loose. I find food combinations that I know to fight with each other in my MMA diet research, I find coffee mentioned frequently, I find a lot of repeat information, and seldom anything new. I feel there is too much comfort in modern society with the diet that we called traditional and balanced.
I do feel that diet plans are based on exercise and rest plans, which for an athlete comes first, then the diet should be made up accordingly. Plus with my nutritional diversity knowledge and experience, I wonder how many of these fighters and nutritionists are really getting to know their foods, or are their minds and bodies are constrained to the textbooks, and other modern recommendations that are mostly all inadequate or non-optimal for actual use and competitive application. Some people I am sure would say I am over-complicating things, and the modern balanced diet, and simply eating clean is all you need to focus on. I would say there is a lot that guy does not know.
Clearly today in the modern age we know that humans can live off of absolute garbage almost. We are amazing creatures. That kind of eating takes its toll and has a price, and eating the right way, if we know what that is complete, would in this same completeness produce benefits.
“To eat is a necessity, but to eat intelligently is an art.”
― François de La Rochefoucauld
The art of eating, as a large puzzle piece to the art of fighting, has new horizons in this age of worldwide market availability.
We live in the perfect age to figure it all out. Now is the time! The ultimate mixed martial arts diet intelligence has not yet been fully painted.
I would not begin to think I could just draw it up in this article, but I do want to do is inspire and motivate, the continual formulation of it. Also, we are trying to grow a qualified team, if you have more interest in working with on this diet, enroll in a certification track.
I am working with a good team of guys here on the biodiverse food study in Panama, and we are concentrated heavily on diet study and what works best.
To give some basic questions for MMA fighters to chime in on:
- How many times a day do you eat and how far apart are those increments?
- How do you measure your calculated meal increments?
- Can you list what you may eat in a weak as far as a sum total foods, to include the separate species of, or sources of foods?
- Are you familiar with the chemical glyphosate? (honestly, before you looked it up, did you know?)
- Are you running on carbohydrates or fats?
- How many hours per day do you train heavily? Maybe even describe the workout.
- What bone breaks have you experienced? Other injuries?
- What kinds of benefits do you imagine you could get from widening the spectrum of nutrition that you ingest? What is the spectrum of species now? List them.
I myself started a log of my own MMA training and MMA diet adventures, a diet and fitness diary with pics, and all the important data, including blood-work, and basic vitals. I started training MMA again this past January (2018) motivated by finding some videos online of kiddo I care about smashing on the mat! I was so overjoyed I had to go roll it out.
Being that I am always on the road these days, I am trying to take some heavy looks at some good, new, diverse, performance supplements too.
Good luck with your training!
Your gym-mate and humble student of MMA & nutrition
The number one thing that would address with supplementation is electrolytes and hydration. Also a good oil.
So for today’s ranking we looked at the best hydrational supplements to have handy in the gym bag.
Let’s Check out the Best MMA Diet Rankings.
MMA DIET RANKINGS
MMA DIET BENEFITS
Implementation of a 14-week training program resulted in advantageous changes in participants’ body composition, as well as improvement in the upper limb anaerobic peak power and aerobic fitness of the MMA athletes. [1]
Mental and facial language is learned at a whole new level inside the build-to and face-off times in the ring. [2]
MMA DIET SIDE EFFECTS
MMA fighters experience possibly the worst of all injuries in combat sports. [x]
Weight cutting concerns have been evaluated to cause serious injury and kidney damage. [x,x,x]
Water diversity, dynamics and proper salt intake can really help with this.
MMA DIET EXPERIENCE
We do this.
MMA DIET DISCUSSION
The number one thing is hydration today. The modern diet does lack protein and calcium and al everything really but people are answering to that with the best performance supplements man has ever had.
At the end of the day NDdiet formulas are going to be the best performance diet and best MMA diet.
MMA DIET FAQ
Q. What nutrient groups should I focus on the most?
A. To start calcium, bone, and joint stuff, then move into hydrational elements, making sure you have a diverse amount of good well-sourced waters coming in, electro lights and amino acids, make sure you are getting sufficient nutrition.
I recommend next a protein and a glutamine supplement and or nutritional focus. See the proper way to take supplements.
Next, I really recommend the best focus supplement or even better all-natural permaculture-based nutritional plan.
Q. Where can I find this “permaculture?”
A. You may not have heard the term but its a big one. Look it up I am sure there is one in your area, if not far away. Inherently these permanent -culture installations are some of the happiest, most balanced most willing to get their produce-to-you people ever. They likely can also grow on request.
Do you really like how this sounds? You can be the nutritional DJ for your gym, make a little money and have the best full-coverage nutrition around you. All you need is the permaculturist(s).
Q. What is the best grocery store stuff I can get now and make the best MMA diet with that?
Q. What kinds of things would make the best MMA diet better?
A. Great question. Kombucha is one thing that would make the best MMA diet better by enhancing the nutrient uptake from the existing diet plan and maybe even allowing for the expansion of it.
The best hydrational supplements really do help, they also keep the immune system running well and hydration is vital to life, performance, and recovery. Whatever is not sufficiently hydrated will not perform, it will age, it may die and you will not get the results you want. This goes from the cellular to the whole muscle to the whole body.
MMA training is some of the hardest training which means heavy depletion.

Best Water Filter Rankings, Benefits, Side Effects & Experience
Water is one of the most important resources for all life. Without it, we don’t exist. If a once-living being loses all water, it is dead, biologically speaking at least it is in a state of decomposition. Water quality for the living is #1 for the home, so make sure to get the best water filter for you and your loved ones!
The U.S. and many other centrally distributed, large city water plants around the world, have been tested to show some alarming substances. As the word of this and the knowledge about city water contamination spreads, people become more and more interested in the very important endeavor of finding a way to clean that up.
I want to clean it up for myself too and convey the message to loved ones about how important the water we consume is, which includes a few recommended home water solutions.
The most recent article growth is rooted in the AquaTrue Countertop Water Purification Station. Well, that and..
Water is #1
Just like with the Nutritional Diversity Diet, there is a sourcing issue, and if we can get a great source there is no need for costly devices, many times great sources come by delivery in large 5-gallon plastic containers. We just hope no chemicals from the plastics are released as they get hot in the transport trucks.
Water in U.S. homes and homes around the world has turned out to be at many times contaminated, with serious contaminants such as heavy metals, microfiber
plastics, harsh chemicals, even pharmaceuticals, and caustic sediment matter.
The number one thing to health is water, and there must be some things residents can do to clean it up for themselves and for their loved ones.
“Built into my world of convenience, I stand for the city water service to put a high amount of chlorine in the water for sanitary purposes which then goes into and all over my body each day.
I have to get to work and do some meaningless task, and I don’t have time to read this piece on water. I need to get ready and jump in my shower that kills my skin each day, and I go on day in and day out ignoring the fact that I drink chemicals I can smell coming from the top of my glass.
Could the chemicals themselves have something to do with the lackadaisical manner in which I let myself consume poisons both from my tap and my local grocer?”
It may seem like a far-fetched question, or an over-exaggeration of a simple sanitary function until Pharmaceutical substances were found in tests done by the United States Environmental Protection Agency that revealed in all 50 samples of the study, conducted across each of the 50 states existed positive results for several drugs.
Most of the medications discovered there lower blood pressure, except for Carbamazepine which is used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and epilepsy.
It is arguable whether high blood pressure is indicative of health risk, everyone who exercises maintains a high-pressure accepting system because of the intensely high blood pressure they experience during their times of exercise. It is also arguable that lowering blood pressure with pharmaceuticals is much like sedating people, which technically one could consider it to do.
For the number #1 resource of my family; I would like to improve the water quality in my life and in the lives of those I love. Let’s check out the top ten best water filters.
WATER FILTER RANKINGS

WATER FILTER BENEFITS
Clean water. No toxicity and bleach.
WATER FILTER SIDE EFFECTS
A little work and investment.
There have been cases where bacteria build-in filters. In a clean system, with no outside contamination, this could be a good thing. [x]
Toxic algae growth had “tap water banned” this past 2017 in Toledo Ohio. [NYT]
WATER FILTER EXPERIENCE
You may hear terms “reverse osmosis, multi-staged,” and things like “xxPSI, “xPVC,” but don’t worry getting someone to help you with this stuff should be easy, thanks to our world of convenience where most people don’t do anything for themselves, most fellas, who are really poor will know their way around these terms and need $20 to help fit you out with something. You know he helps you, you help him. There we go…. now we are moving….
For drinking, it is recommended as the best water filter, that the gravity fed, counter-top type be used. They are a little more in price as the other option of an in-line filter but historically they produce the cleanest filtered drinking water when it comes to dealing with the city supply as the water source. I myself use both, the inline and the gravity, why not. In fact, I also use Ozone water treatment on about 35-65% of the water I drink.
The field installs the best water filter system inline style, traditionally is not that complicated and usually a lot cheaper to purchase or create.
A series of sealed tanks can be set up one with rock, one with sand, one with charcoal even, on to the final holding tank where water draws into the final delivery system. Sometimes before the tap will put a few string filters which usually do good to pick up the micro sediment stuff if at all passes, whereas you can inspect these easily and know exactly what is coming through the main filtration set up. If your system is spring water, or roof collected, a little bit of the sediment may even be good for you.
Whatever which way, it is time to stop ingesting the chemicals primarily chlorine and fluoride that seem to be present in most city water supplies. I would like to stop showering with them too.
There has been one product that has stood above the rest in the removal of the chemicals and that is the gravity-fed, Big Berkey Water Purification countertop system with fluoride filter add-on. Next in this counter-top gravity line of hot stuff I recommend is the Nikken PiWater system. I work with both of these systems, and the primary differences are Nikken’s attempt to imitate a prime water structure using handpicked elements and information from around the world in a plastic case that allows light to enter, whereas the Big Berkey is stainless steel in construction, and is the United States’ most popular solution. Depending on what divine water information you may be looking at, in wanting to work on your water more you can juggle the two or do like me and get one for home, and one for office.
Also cheaply done, is a multi-stage inline system, that filters water for the entire home, water going into toilets, showers, air coolers, will all be cleaner with one of these. I say for around $250-$850 installed go ahead and hook the house or apartment up with one. Then there is the under-the-sink inline system, which works for a few taps that people want to get cleaner water from without waiting for it to cycle through the countertop gravity filters. Some companies make a nice shower filter that installs right at the shower line, stays there in line and filters water from the shower.
Water Ionizer is what many medical patients prefer and using this device which is rather expensive the user can make both more acidic and more alkaline water adjustable to their preference and based on their supply. There is a lot of arguing about this but ionic charges likely do play some part.
Then, of course, the frontier way to know your good is to boil the water. Some say distilled is the way to do it, that is all a whole other conversation, very deeply described in the complete ND Diet text. I have seen some permaculturists throw a rock or two or a few into the pot while cooking water, believing that it helps re-mineralize it, especially when rain collects.
Spring mear a city or industry is also likely contaminated I know arsenic was present in underground desert aquifers where I am from, there have been brow-raising radiation tests there also. In a place where much of the National Weapons developments and tests are made to include the first nuclear bomb building, where the dream team of scientists operated, I guess this should not be so shocking.
All of these home water solutions are better than nothing, with your city water supply. Ultimately another source would be better here companies have started selling the large 5-gallon waters harvested from spring sites for $5.oo, and many people pay that, it is good business. The city water supply is the one that most needs home water treatment. Certain U.S. city water taps have been found from toxic to flammable and I can only imagine what the effects must be like sitting down here in pretty Panama, where I still have to go through the motions to get good clean water in my cup. Anything centrally distributed like this is inherently open to being poisoned and hurting a lot of people.
Certain individuals myself included notice, and believe in the science class idea that chemical separation and evaporation of a lesser substance will take place in an open container. Refrigeration, cold, or heat may play their part if they exist but over time in any condition, the lesser substance should move to the top, and be the first to evaporate.
We used to fill glass bottles with water and place them in the sun for a bit, then move them to the fridge hoping that this process would be quickened. Sun does clean the water. After a day of hard sun here in Bocas del Toro, Panama, the nice gulf outside our study center
Along the way, I met a man who explained to me that he would put a lemon, a lime, a leaf of mint, and a quartz crystal into a glass picture and place in the sun. He said with honesty that he found it to be more fulfilling water. Low and behold, I found a ton of research to support this idea. There is even internal UV light featuring products advertised, in the water purification market.
Distillation is a heavily debated process regarding drinking water, but it is pure water technically. Andrew Norton Webber, says distilled water has helped him retain several youthful qualities and achieve health from an episode of sickness, and many others agree. Certain schools of thought caution that the mineral-less water may help remove toxins, but help remove from the body some vital elements also. Rainwater also gets the mineral leaching criticism, and over time drinking from a rainwater tank, and not entering the sea, one could start to feel this maybe, although it could be something else.
In my humble experience, my best water days were some from mountain spring, some from rain collection, some distilled and all filtered to some degree, and many servings of water treated with many different treatments, such as adding a few orange slices.
Most water recommends in our mainstream education recommend far too little water consumption, while our military training is more correct, and that water up, never have yellow coming out.
Nutritional Diversity, key principles are my guiding light in this water respect also, and that is; diversity of the best sources and structures available is best for optimal human performance.
A Deeper Look Into Water: Intro to Water Physics & Metaphysics
Somewhere in this crazy complex journey (I fail as of now to bang out on the keys in a complete story) of mine, I found the work of Dr. Masaru Emoto, who photographed flash-frozen water crystal structures, and spawned the practice of thanking, playing music for and praying to water. Thank your water. I thank you. If you look at this research you will too. If you think about this long and hard, realizing that we ourselves are three-fourths water, and the plant’s and living essences around us all have one thing in common and that is water; you too will see from the good doctor’s very recent research, that an attitude of gratitude will overcome most of the issue.
While Maseru’s critiques are plenty-full, anyone who has been around the snow has seen these shapes before, even if their skepticism is out of balance with trying to hear about Mr. Emoto’s hippy ideas. Just listen to nature, ask God, and try it out see if it helps you to feel differently.
Mr. Emoto offers a highly duplicated on Youtube way to find the same type of results using some damp rice in three different jars treating one harshly and writing the word hate on the glass with a Sharpie marker, the next in a different area of your space write love, and treat it each morning with a hug and a kiss, the third doesn’t write anything, don’t pay it any mind, ever. This particular experiment reveals each time reflectively a terrible moldy cancer on the ignored, and slight moldy cancer on the hated and the best condition on the loved. Obviously make sure all the rice is the same, and clean and the jars are clean..
WATER FILTER DISCUSSION
Here we discuss the best water supply and the best water filter units and what matters to the best water filter consumers.
Too many harmful chemicals have been found to exist in, and likely do exist right now in water that you drink and shower with every day. Any damage caused by this stuff is going to need to be repaired and that energy is going to come off your game-time peak performance.
Chemical-free was the number one member group survey benefit from these filters, chemical-free water was also the number one desired benefit from ND information.
Performance and health upgrade number one – the best water filter that, takes out chemicals, lead, and plastic microfibers.
Lead and pharmaceuticals have no place in our bodies, and they are something to deal with physiologically, neurologically, and spiritually. To have the organic experience we were destined to have we must clean up the toxic water that dulls and detracts from our lives.
This is the starting place for upgrading health in family life, and we wanted to make sure to get products ranked families can afford. The rankings did conclude with a full spectrum of price ranges.
Pure water is priceless.
WATER FILTER FAQ
[contact-form-7 id=”7859″ title=”New Question”]
Q. Does it make sense to use the two best water filter systems?
A. Definitely. I use my own sand filters out in the line before I receive it into the house where I have the I Spring 6 Stage and then a couple of different countertop devices. Water diversity is best. I saw a diverse set of treatments is also smart. We do a rock soup, ozone, distilled, and a “life water” process too.
Q. What is the best way to filter tap water?
A. The best singular way is debatable but we can be sure a diversity of great water sources is best. Distilled, carbon-filtered, or reverse osmosis are the most popular ways people purify or filter tap water. UV light boxes and O3gas treatments are other ways.
This article has covered both reverse osmosis and carbon filtered. There are links below in ‘related material’ for other purification methods.
Q. Do the best water filter systems always work?
A. No. If they are not cleaned that becomes more of a danger than a help. Clean and care for gear. Only have the gear you need. Drink water diversity.
WATER FILTER RECAP
City water is the worst. There are things we can do to clean it up for our loved ones and that is what we should do.
Just give me the best water filter, please.
