I'm just going to react to that, for purposes of conversation.

>Nutrition is the most important thing for healing physical problems. 
Can't agree with that as stated. It depends on the problem. But I'd readily agree that nutrition is hugely important for living at all, including recovering from or preventing diseases/injuries.

>Most diseases are caused by poisons in our diet, or imbalances in the diet. 
No, can't agree with that at all. All sorts of things cause diseases, including viruses, bacteria, prions, radiation, genetics -- and in with all that, factors of nutrition. Mane diseases seem to be caused by some combination, or at least exacerbated by more than one of those things. So we're still more or less going in the same direction, in terms of nutrition being important for health.

>The healing action of herbs is to have a drug-like effect...
And having a drug-like effect = being a drug. Many herbs are also drugs, or contain compounds that are drugs.

>...which is good for temporary treatment of temporary health issues...
And for curing others, depends on the disease/condition.

>...but chronic diseases are best healed with diet.
No, depends on what you have and what caused it. Proper nutrition can and should be a part of getting generally ehalthy, and generally healthy people are in a better position to recover from disease. Even disease that requires other treatments. your going to be in a better position if you are not mal- or under-nourished.

Continuing...

>Even with herbs, taking daily medicine is not usually a good idea.
Strike 'usually' and exchange for 'sometimes,' and we'd be in general agreement. Some conditions, the best way to fight them is to ingest the right compound daily -- whether by pill or in food or whatever. Some compounds don;t occur in foods, in which case taking the daily pill is a good idea.

>Ray Peat is top notch nutrition info, writing a lot about how omega 6 fats cause multitude of diseases. The idea that health is more about removing the poisons (omega 6 primarily) in our diet, rather than it is about finding the perfect nutrition, or the perfect medicine.
Don;t know him or his writing, I'll look into it. but a general observation -- anybody offering a 'universal nostrum,' a single treatment that magically cures everything, is invariably a snake oil salesman. And, by the way, the idea contradicts your earlier position that what you need is balanced nutrition. Your idea is that curing/preventing stuff requires getting a lot of factors right, and working together for health. A 'universal nostrum' is claiming that one thing causes all possible bad outcomes, or that one thing prevents all possible bad outcomes. Guys that tell you that are lying to you.

you sound a bit under-read on nutrition

Deep Nutrition - Why Your Genes Need Traditional Food
Chris Knobbe - Seed Oil Documentary

The seed oils documentary is quite interesting. Studies showing that feeding rodents so'y oil induces literally every major disease - cancer, diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver, obesity, autism. 

There is also a 99.9% chance I am healthier than you. Not only because I am healthier than 99.9% of people I see in daily life, but also because you sound seriously under-read on nutrition. 

But good job bro. Keep blaming your obesity on 'viruses', 'prions' and 'genetics' rather than your diet of mountain due and doritos.

What do you think of traditional seed oils like flax and olive oil? Those were extremely important to our ancestors.

My ancestors were nords who lived on grains, beef, milk, chickens, etc. They didn't eat olive oil. Olive oil is probably fine, but I prefer butter, and I think it's a meme that Meds are healthier than Nords. Longevity data shows they live about the same on average, except for a few small regions, where there might also be a lot of pension fraud scams going on.
I really doubt ancient people's used a lot of flax seed. They are a huge pain in the ass to pick and press into oil, and they just make you shit. It's just another marketing scam.

Flax, which is pressed for oil and also woven into linen grows in canada; it grew in the places your ancestors lived. I think that you should increase your research, as ancient peoples had fields of flax growing so that they could clothe themselves in the most absorbent, wicking, and comfortable of all natural fibers. Before there was cotton, there was flax linen. You still have seedheads left over from one of the first steps of the fiber processing process. You have a FUCK TON of seeds. You put them under a stone and press them into oil. The oilcakes (non oil leftover) are feed your your animals and your people. The oil and ground meal is high in omega-3s which is the brain food.
I'm glad that you are proud of your ancestry, but seriously please increase your research. You're embarrassing all of us right now on par with 'Vikings didn't wear jewelry' guy.
