  1. Garlic & onions are recycled as medicinal, probably because they do have some antibiotic properties if you routinely eat enough of them. Many medicines are plant based so it makes sense. Plus they're delicious, if you like well-seasoned food. I've tried a few "diet" programs over the years to lose weight & lower dangerous blood sugars & can truly say ketogenic eating is the only thing that worked for me long-term. It's simply common sense stuff, much like the Mediterranean Diet: little to zero sweets, sugar, manufactured & store-baked goodies, chips & junk food; very limited whole grain breads, pasta; white potatoes - if any at all. Zero low-nutrition high-sugar fruits, grains & corn; man-made oil blends. Or processed foods & food substitutes. (eg processed cheese block) Pretty much everything you eat is cooked from scratch. You do eat moderate amounts of animal & fish protein; eggs, dairy, goat & sheep cheeses. And lots of leafy greens & vegetables; cooked cruciferous vegetables, berries of all kinds, nuts. And maybe very small amounts of minimally processed "ancient grains" if you like. (I eat zero, aside from oatmeal occasionally. And zero rice. I substitute cooked cauliflower instead & it's always amazing topped with stews & curries.) They important thing is packing as much natural nutrition into your meals as possible. Most processed foods have little to offer anymore, in that regard. It's a garbage base of various non-nutritious flours, sugars, bad fats & oils with flavorings & salt added. Read the ingredients & you'll see. (I dropped my blood sugar levels from a dangerous pre-diabetic 135+ range to a steady 88-93 range & lost 50 Lbs, over a 2+ year period. But most of it happened the first year & a half. I find keto very easy to do because I'm not hungry all of the time. Sugars & processed carbs just make you crave more. Alcohol too, stopped drinking it 5 years ago. The insanity of processed food addiction is real.)

  2. Makes sense. Stress drives tiredness, immunity weakness & illness progression in general. If cannabis alleviates stress & helps patients rest & relax, the slowing of cancer cell growth sounds very logical.
