#23 - Essay #1 - Why giving away individual responsibility for personal health decisions might eventually turn out to be an exceptionally dangerous idea

Hello everyone. Today it's me, Maxim Pruchnewski, recording an audio version of an essay I wrote very recently concerning some of the more fundamental questions that we should be thinking about in regards to the current situation. Feel free to share this around because I wholeheartedly hope  that this will reach many people and make them at least look at the current issue from a different, more fundamental perspective. This thing  shall not divide us. It shall not split us and make us hate each other.  This thing has to stop. Otherwise it quickly degenerate into something awfully undesirable.

(ENG) - #22 – What Causes Heart Disease? Part 1 – Why LDL Is Probably Not The Cause of Heart Disease – With Dr. Malcolm Kendrick

Welcome back! Today I had the pleasure to talk to one of the very controversial figures in regards to heart disease and the association between Apo-B containing lipoptroteins, aka LDL, VLDL, etc. and heart disease. Dr. Malcolm Kendrick who is a family physician from Scotland can be considered a great mentor and teacher as far as I am concerned, since many of the ideas that he brings forward and methods and ways of scientificly approaching a problem, just resonated with me so beautifully that I have been able to extract tremendous value and continue to learn a lot from his work. Malcolm has authored several books like Doctoring Data or his most recent one – The Clot Thickens, he leads a blog on his website https://drmalcolmkendrick.org/ and has published and co-authored quite a significant number of scientific papers many of which were aimed at assessing the controversies and unresolved questions in regards to the pathophysiological processes which fundamentally underlie atherosclerotic plaque formation and, ultimately, heart disease.  In this first part of our conversation we were mostly discussing all the facts and evidence pointing against the presumption of LDL, or Apo-B containing lipoproteins, being the number one driving causal factor behind plaque formation which is usually referred to as cardiovascular disease. Unfortunately, we didn’t quite manage to thoroughly discuss Dr. Kendrick’s hypothesis and explanations which he so beautifully describes in his most recent book and which he established as a result of several decades of constant digging, reading, questioning and exploring for the mere sake of finding something, finding a model that would be incontrovertible, unambiguous and capable of withstanding any criticisms from the other side. A model that would be able to explain virtually every observation and risk factor as far as heart disease is concerned.In our second part we will continue to take apart the standard mainstream Lipid Hypothesis and, in particular, go much deeper into the real pathophysiology behind cardiovascular disease manifesting itself as a heart attack, stroke, etc. Enjoy the great conversation I had today with Dr. Malcolm Kendrick!

(ENG) - #21 - Dr. Camilo Karpf and Maxim Pruchnewski Discussing Animal-Based-Diets, the Issues Concerning the Health Care System and How to Best Initiate Radical Change

Enjoy the nice talk I recently had in an Instagram-Live with my good friend Dr. Camilo Karpf, who is a medical doctor from Columbia. Camilo practices in a clinic in Hamburg, Germany and is not only helping patient after patient to reverse chronic disease and come off medication through lifestyle interventions but is also engaged in a number of different projects here in Germany and also in Columbia which among other things includes cooking delicious and nutritious meals for children and similar kinds of endeavour. We had a vehemently satisfying discourse and exchange of ideas regarding the issues and problems that we both encountered in medical school and keep facing in daily life and in our attempts to produce some kind of change in terms of how the health care and patient-treating system is set up. We briefly touch on certain aspects of where exactly the dietary model went wrong and give a quick overview on our dietary approaches. My apologies for the rather inferior and unappropriate sound-quality! I am planning to record a bunch of podcasts with Camilo very soon and I promise that the sound-quality in those episodes will be much more appealing and comfortable to listen to.  Having said all that, enjoy our chat!  Dr. Camilo's FaunaMedicina on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/faunamedicina/ Get in contact: https://karpf.co/ Find me on Insta: https://www.instagram.com/monky_caliplayground/ Find me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/MPruchnewski  More free stuff (books, videos and PDFs): https://linktr.ee/sapien_health Sapiens Playground on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmNDo81K7jX7Thk0_NF_xng Listen to Sapiens Playground on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6IcilHhRDVTiVxGO5uuYlp?si=ab520e5d7fc24a3a Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/sapiens-playground-a-place-for-true-health-unbiased/id1534777361 You can text me at sapiens.playground@web.de for podcast inquiries or any questions you have.

(ENG) - Ep.19 - Sergio DiPasquale aka New Era - High-Reps-Calisthenics as a Tool to Become Undefeatble and Find Deep Meaning in Life - A Philosophical Discussion

Welcome back to Sapien's Playground!  Growth means "to open yourself up to the possibility of failure". That is one of the many powerful and vehemently profound quotes from today's episode with ultra-passionate elite Calisthenics-Athlete and language-student Sergio DiPasquale aka New Era. Sergio is an insane beast, a true leader who dominates the field of endurance-style calisthenics. His unstoppable drive behind the work he is doing and the mindset with which he keeps approaching his passion for training has been an invaluable inspiration for me as well as many of his followers and students. Our conversation and exchange of ideas yields, as far as I'm concerned, some enormously useful potential for people to be better able to comprehend the mechanisms and value systems which underlie our fundamental state of existence. The discussion turned out to be more philosophical and deep than I intended it to become, however, I believe that it genuinely helped me to better understand the person in front of me and I am genuinely grateful that the discussion went into that direction. I am certain that you will find something of huge value in that episode, especially if you are just as passionate about calisthenics and bodyweight training as we are. Rememeber to always keep going, no matter what it is that you are currently pursuing!  Enjoy listening!

Привет всем и добро пожаловать на первый русский эпизод на моём подкасте Sapiens Playground! Сегодня мне удалось поболтать и заснять интереснейший разговор с тренером, воркаутером и одним из создателей Star Bars Gym, Сандро. Он работает вместе с Дмитрием Доценко в плане своей тренерской деятельности и при этом они ещё снимают много интересного контента на YouTube.  Мы обсудили оптимальные подходы и их вариабельности и особенности в плане силовых тренировок, как лучше и безопаснее всего обучиться элементам, и почему всё таки стоит инвестировать больше времени в разминку и разогрев до начала самой тренировки, чем вы думали. Много ещё других интересных тем затронули, получилось очень интересно, и я уверен, что для каждого из вас найдется что-нибудь полезного и используемого для ваших тренировок и для прослеживания прогресса!  Инстаграм Сандро: https://www.instagram.com/sandroneuron/ Инстаграм Димы Доценко: https://www.instagram.com/morlantau/ Их общий YouTube канал: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCUb_HZNIDtcKmTgHvsrSKug Подписывайтесь на мой инста: https://www.instagram.com/monky_caliplayground/ Sapiens Playground в твиттере: https://twitter.com/MPruchnewski Смотрите эпизоды в YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmNDo81K7jX7Thk0_NF_xng Обращайтесь с вопросами и приглашениями на подкасты: sapiens.playground@web.de Интересные книги и бесплатные PDF-файлы: https://linktr.ee/sapien_health

(ENG) - Ep.14 - Interviewing Dr. Peter McCullough MD, MPH on Everything Regarding Vaccine Safety and Efficacy, Early Treatment of COVID-19, Masks, Lockdowns and Mass-Deception by Media Propaganda

Welcome back to a new episode on Sapiens Playground! Today I had the overwhelming honor to talk to Dr. Peter McCullough, MD, MPH, who many of you have probably heard on the Joe Rogan Podcast. It, thus, surprised me even more that Dr. McCullough was willing to set aside some time to come onto my podcast which clearly indicates how much he is interested in spreading that important message which he has been trying to deliver for the past 2 years, essentially.  Dr.  McCullough is an internist, cardiologist, epidemiologist managing the cardiovascular complications of both the viral infection and the injuries developing after the COVID-19 vaccine in Dallas TX, USA.  Since the outset of the pandemic, Dr. McCullough has been a leader in the  medical response to the COVID-19 disaster and has published  “Pathophysiological Basis and Rationale for Early Outpatient Treatment of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) Infection” the first synthesis of sequenced multidrug treatment of ambulatory patients infected with SARS-CoV-2 in the American Journal of Medicine and subsequently updated in Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine.  He has 51 peer-reviewed publications on the infection and has commented extensively on the medical response to the COVID-19 crisis in TheHill, America Out Loud, and on FOX NEWS Channel. Dr. McCullough has two years of dedicated academic and clinical efforts in combating the SARS-CoV-2 virus and in doing so, has reviewed thousands of reports, participated in scientific congresses, group discussions, press releases, and has been considered among the world's experts on COVID-19. As you might have guessed by the title, we talked all things COVID-19, hence this podcast will obviously not be uploaded on YouTube for reasons which I probably don't have to expand on.  Dr. McCullough was generous enough to give me 1 hour for asking him as many questions as I could manage. Fortunately enough, that was enough time to go through the most important topics and questions that I intended to ask him in the first place. We went all the way from discussing early treatment to questioning mandates, restrictions and lockwdowns. We also spend a good chunk of our conversation talking about the increasingly conerning issues regarding vaccine safety and efficacy and Dr. McCullough always cited a good amount of data, numbers and studies to back up his claims and statements.  Please share this episode and help us spread this very important information because it could prevent a lot of future harm and potentially save many lives, for example if people and doctors would finally start properly treating patients and would also come to realise that there is much more to be skeptical about, than to believe, at least when it comes to vaccine mandates and all these insane restrictions.  Enjoy listening!
