The Covid Redemption with Tim Robbins
Tim Robbins the actor gradually came to see the light on the response to covid, and is as eloquent in his realization as is humanly possible. The sentiment expressed is profound, beautiful, and as relevant to what we are meant to be as the superconscious animal as is possible.
I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
mRNA production facilities being built in UK, Canada, and Australia
With no financial transparency as to who profits.
Well let's see, mRNA was an idea introduced by Robert Malone in 1987 when he was a PhD research assistant, and then awarded several patents for it. But research studies on animals has not, to the best of my knowledge, produced a working version since, and yet we were all induced to take it in response to Covid. And I don't see that they worked there either to stop transmission and infection. We were told by "vested parties" they reduced deaths, and we've seen how the information we've been given by these same parties is manipulated to create very false impressions of efficacy.
Pharmacology seems to be caught up in a "mania". Stock market bubbles are called manias aren't they. This "mania" has some overlap certainly in terms of the obscene profits that have been produced, but with an almost religious "health messaging" ferver layered on.
I don't know of a single autophagy oriented health professional of any stripe who thinks this approach is anything but a furtherance of pharmacologically induced health degradation in the general population.
Dr Campbell's perspective is, as usual, crystal clear and on target. Let's hear what he has to say:
And let's remember once again Upton Sinclair's comment on unconscious bias: "It's difficult to get a man to understand a thing when his salary depends on his not understanding it".

Brenda Davis, Registered Dietitian, leading plant-based pioneer, internationally acclaimed speaker, and widely regarded as a rock star of plant-based nutrition!
Brenda Davis RD is a modest and passionate advocate and teacher of optimal health. In one of her videos she talks about when she gave talks to audiences she was frequently challenged to "prove it" with demonstrations of strength and endurance. So here she goes:
And in this video she shares very basic information on how to lose the weight and keep it off (and BTW it is not based on exercise):
And here's a vid where she speaks about the inner conflict she experienced being a registered dietitian who was contemplating a whole plant based life:
Brenda Davis is having an interesting life! She also has a web site you may find interesting and informative:

Shuttle to Mars leaving on gate 5
The fact we can even consider the notion of colonizing Mars can only mean we as yet have no idea the many coincidental and very specific conditions necessary for the spontaneous generation of biology.
As one example (of hundreds...thousands?), before space exploration we did not know to what degree the specific conditions of earth's gravity effect physiological regulation. Now we minimally know weightlessness dysregulates physiology to pathological levels. To what degree varying levels of gravity dysregulate physiology we are fuzzy on.
What are some other conditions that would have to be met before the spontaneous generation of biology can occur?
The exact conditions of the relationship of "feed star" to "dependent planet" that have to be met for biology to occur.
The exact conditions of dependent planet atmosphere?
The percent of dependent planet surface that would have to be water?
We could go on thinking of other conditions that would have to be met before the spontaneous generation of biology could occur.
But let's think of two other things first:
1) In spite of all of our technological sophistication we are as yet unaware of a single example of another planet with biology.
2) What other conditions are we as yet completely unaware of that would have to be met for the spontaneous generation of biology?
It's as if we truly do not know where we are, even though we are living there. Already.
Can we take better care of the biology (including us) on this planet?
Or are nature's balancing forces working through us, already, and we are basically unaware of it?
In that sense (hubris vs mortality), we are not in control of our destiny to the extent we like to think we are, if we are first not in control of Earth's biological condition.
Can we even control our own biological condition? Why is the wealthiest county in history the least healthy?
Can we live with that? Do we have a choice?

Credible information has surfaced - Covid-19 may have been a man made virus
The information in question has come to light through Freedom of Information activity, and I'm simply going to let the experts explain what is coming to light.
First up is Dr John Campbell who summarizes what this is about and where it currently stands:
And here is a longer and more detailed panel discussion between scientists and others involved in unearthing this information:

Whistleblower Lifts the Lid on “False” Alzheimer’s Research
Did you guys see this? (link)
Quotes from the article:
According to Science magazine‘s investigation, the images the paper used to support this conclusion — as well as images in other studies on the Aβ*56 subtype by Lesné — appear to have been doctored to exaggerate the protein’s part in the development of Alzheimer’s.
and
it was concerning that it hadn’t been possible for researchers to replicate Lesné’s findings in other studies
and
The potential reach of this kind of deception is hard to comprehend. Lesné’s research — and the direct connection it seemed to demonstrate between amyloids and Alzheimer’s — proved incredibly influential. The Nature paper has been cited in over 2,200 other academic papers, and provoked significant interest in the Aβ*56 protein as a target for Alzheimer’s treatment. According to Science, the NIH funneled about $1.6 billion into projects involving amyloids in this fiscal year — “about half its overall Alzheimer’s funding.”
Me again:
Well, yeah, science is all about multiple replications of the original study. Perhaps the more interesting question is how all this funding got approved with no replication studies to base it on? Could it have anything to do with a mad rush to profit? BigP out of control?
Another quote from the article:
According to Daily Kos, about 100 out of 130 Alzheimer’s drugs currently in trials are designed to attack these amyloids. In 2021, the FDA approved yet another such medicine, Aduhelm. The $56,000-per-year drug from Biogen is so expensive that it’s expected to inflate premiums for 60 million Medicare enrollees.
And me again:
It's also been known for years that there are many with extensive amyloid plaques with no symptoms of Alzheimer's, and many with no amyloid plaques with progressed degrees of Alzheimer's.
That, combined with no successful replication studies, is concerning.
However, there is potential for a new direction of study in the understanding of the cause of Alzheimer's. (link)
And if this proves up over the next decade or so the health damaging potential of refined fats may join refined sugar in the overall understanding of the cause of all the chronic conditions that afflict post industrial humans.
Humm. There are already thousands of MD's who've broken ranks with BigP by reversing these common chronic conditions with little more than dietary change that depends mostly on the elimination of all refined foods. That, and getting victims off of their meds. Humm.
How is it they know what most others do not? Well, science is slow, "weight of the evidence" is a foundation principle that should not be hijacked for any reason.
Meanwhile, can we trust what is self-evident? The bottom line is pretty simple: when the autophagy function (the body heals itself) no longer has to fight the mountain of sludge modern humans put into their bodies disease reversals are quick and painless.
And if we grew up that way would Alzheimer's disease even be a concern?
Yes, chronic disease reversals can be quick and painless, but there is one temporary side effect: we have to come to understand that we are literally addicted to toxic substances engineered to be completely irresistible and go through some level of withdrawal. This is more difficult for some than others, and a supervised fast is a great way to do this for anyone kicking the habit.
We also have to come to understand the significance of "food science" that has become expert in creating substances that are both irresistible, highly toxic, and not coincidentally, highly profitable to both the food science industry and BigP who "treats" these conditions with other toxic substances that prolong the conditions into early death of the victims - two wrongs don't make a right was never truer.
Victims? Well, yes, but we don't need a conspiracy theory to explain this collective health disaster, we only need an understanding of the unconscious mind. "It's difficult to get a man to understand a thing when his salary depends on his not understanding it". (Upton Sinclair)
We also need an understanding that chronic diseases are really not normal. That they are normal is base camp at the mountain of misinformation food science, BigP, and the healthcare industry depend on to maintain the status quo, which is, in capital terms, continually increasing profits...grow or die.
These industries do not understand (for the most part) this mountain of misinformation is in fact misinformation. We are truly now in the Orwellian age, but too close to it to see it.
Let's gain some perspective: the double edged blade of science and technology causes equal amounts of regression and progression, and this problem remains mostly unseen and misunderstood. It does not have to be this way, we can individually, and with our families and friends, find our way to a better understanding of the cause of health.

The Problem with Fiscal Irresponsibility
This is a different kind of "health post", but one similar and indicative of the problem with a wrong way health care system that is nonetheless used by DC as the primary driver of the economy.
Stan Druckenmiller will not be a familiar name to many, but who is known as one of the more "common sense" (and successful) investment managers in history.

Natural Disasters cannot be prevented with Man Made Interventions
Natural disasters cannot be prevented with man made interventions. How do we stop a volcano from erupting? A tidal wave from coming ashore? Earthquakes? Hurricanes and tornados?
How do we stop ecological devastation and (what is said by experts to be) the 6th Mass Extinction? The argument is "we created this, we can stop it". This makes some sense until we ask the question:
Is human behavior itself a natural phenomena?
We humans tend to see ourselves as separate from nature because of technology. But is it true? Certainly not in terms of "big nature" (volcanos, hurricanes etc). Or even true in terms of "little nature"? (Pandemics, heart disease, cancer). Not really, but we prefer to live in a state of delusion regarding little nature.
Pharmacology is the quintessential example of this. How might we be deluded relative to pharmacology? Pandemics might be an example.
It is said by the majority of expert epidemiologists and virologists that viral pandemics spread with the suddenness and rapidity of a Tsunami coming ashore. Developing technological interventions takes time, at that point natural immunity and population immunity has spread sufficiently to reduce "pandemic" to "endemic". If that weren't true our species would have ceased existence in it's very early stages.
But we don't think of that, and this is part of the delusion.
By the time we've identified a viral disease of pandemic proportion, and then developed the intervention, natural individual and community immunity have been developing. Do the technologists who develop the interventions calculate what percentage of the intervention was actually caused by nature's community immunity? If they do we haven't heard about it. And anyway, what fun would that be? How could we smugly pat our selves on the back if that were the case?
The delusion we humans are so fond of is we are separate from nature, and even above nature.
Let's take the very recent example of the pandemic into account. It's now been publicly admitted by health authorities the intervention did not stop infection or spread. It is still said total deaths were reduced, but earthquake sized fissures in that narrative have formed, although not yet publicly acknowledged.
That one will perhaps never be acknowledged. Think of all the political negatives the destruction of that particular delusion would create: loss of faith in public health authorities and politicians, not to mention the trillions in future profits up in smoke.
Health care is the single biggest source of revenue for the US: if we think the economy is shaky now, what would we think if a significant portion of national revenue disappeared?
"Trade-off" is also a formal economic term. What should we call the trade-off of population health for economic "health"?
Tragic? Stupid? At the very least a contradiction in terms, and in the worst case skating down the slippery slope toward implosion.
Loss of faith in public health authorities? I think that horse is already out of the barn. What can be done about that?
Take control of your own health, it does not come out of drugs (legal or otherwise), bottles, boxes, packages or pills.
Paleos and Whole Food Plant Based people all agree... consume only fresh whole nutritious foods. And remember: feel good feels better than tastes good tastes.

Why does the US allow a controversial weed killer banned across the world?
A good friend sent an article of that title published in The Guardian. I'm not sure this article will be behind a paywall or not, in my experience some are and other aren't.
https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/oct/28/paraquat-weedkiller-epa-ban?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
If you can't see it (it is very good BTW) I will try and relay the gist of it here: Another common sense look into the world of US regulation of "foods" and chemical substances, with industry profits on one side and population health on the other...guess who the winner of that boxing match is?
A reminder, I frequently enclose the word "food" in quotes to remind us that most of what we consume today is hard pressed to qualify as actual food. IMHO tastes good and filling does not equal "healthy" unless one is referring to fruits and vegetables. The more clear it becomes to me as a result of my own health that fruits and vegetables are optimum people food, the more confused and conflicted the world seems to become about which foods are the true "cause of health".
What is the cause of health? Primarily the absence of toxins entering the body, and the entry of balanced nutrition. It's not complicated, but the avalanche of (very profitable!) disinformation swamps the voices of reason and common sense who do not have the power of industrial profits behind them.
Second best to a whole foods fruit and vegetable diet is any whole foods diet. In other words if the only thing you do is to eliminate "foods" that have an ingredients list attached the better off you will be for it.
So: why do we allow industrial toxic pollutants into our food supply at all? The answer can be found in this paragraph I found in an investment letter titled "Nine Billion Reasons to Invest in Agrochemical Innovation".
The common solution for all these infestations is chemical control... broadspectrum insecticides – such as pyrethroids, neonicotinoids, and organophosphates – that target and kill a wide range of insects, including entire groups or species. And while the use of chemical compounds poses risks to human health and the environment, it's the lesser of two evils for folks facing frequent food shortages.
Ah ha, the reason is because we have to kill off huge swaths of nature-ecology in order for us nine billion humans to survive. There just isn't enough room on the planet for both of us. By that logic we will only truly be thriving when we've wiped out all of nature-ecology.
Are we talking billions of humans or billions of dollars?
But no worries! When we've wiped out all of nature we can go to Mars! Hey, rocks are nature too...who needs biology?
Oh, and by the way, the next big investment trend is artificial biology. OK, now we can go to Mars.

Extreme common sense: Nutritional Excess vs Deficiency
Well part of the title of this post (extreme common) is a bit nonsensical isn't it? Is that because common sense is really just logic and deductive reasoning? And if so, perhaps explains the old saying "common sense isn't all that common". Perhaps logic is more "aptitude" than learned, which is to say, some are just born that way.
Anyway, this post is a good example of why I'm a big fan of the thinking of Doug Graham, which emerges from an aptitude for logic. In the universe of health information this is very uncommon, and continuously countered by monied interests who make trillions insuring we (Americans) spend more on health care than any other developed country, with the worst health of any developed country to show for it.
Enjoy.
A Sober Evaluation of COVID-19 Vaccines | Dr. Jay Bhattacharya and Dr. Gigi Foster
One thing we are very unlikely to see when following mass media news is highly credentialed health scientists and MDs who are completely in favor of vaccines but have reservations about the current and completely new vaccine technology express their expert opinions as to why they have reservations.
You gotta wonder why are these established and credentialed scientists not heard? Could it be that excess profits in the new tech controls politics and media? And if that's true, wouldn't you prefer to be better informed by hearing all relevant expert points of view? I certainly would.
Here are two expert research scientists who are also practicing MDs express their expert observations.

Excess baby deaths investigation
Dr. John Campbell is a consummate master of communication in these perilous times of global "economic reset", censorship, and obfuscation from politicians and the "health care" conglomerates who line their pockets. Dr. Campbell manages to adroitly communicate the gist of a censored topic in the talk linked below.
Just how big is big? Pharma and the "health care" industries
Dr. David Eifrig writes an investment newsletter. Having graduated from a prestigious MBA program his first job was on a trading desk at Goldman Sachs, one of the most plum wall street jobs an MFA grad can land. He left Wall Street however, because, in his words, he was disgusted with the corruption there.
His father and uncle were MDs, so then he then decided to become a doctor and enrolled in medical school, again at a prestigious university known for it's medical school. Then as a doc in practice he again found a level of corruption in medicine distasteful (how many meds are average senior citizens obliged to consume?), and at that point retired completely to writing an investing letter, which he's now done for about two decades.
Dr. Eifrig made these points in a recent letter:
- Health care makes up nearly 20% of the U.S. economy.
- It employs over 20 million people.
- At $4.1 trillion, it’s not just bigger than every penny spent nationwide on food, cars, or energy, it’s bigger than all three put together.
- Ask any American which federal department gets the most funding and almost everyone will say defense.
- The DoD is certainly huge, with a nearly $800 billion budget this year.
- But the “winner” is the Department of Health and Human Services. It’s twice as big at $1.6 trillion. Nothing else comes close.

-----------------------------------------------------------
All things considered it appears obvious from multiple perspectives that health care is the most corrupt industry in modern history. Of all these perspectives the most obvious is the fact pharmacology is a failure, we spend massively more on legal drugs than any other country in the world, and have the worst health to show for it.
In a fair fight between pharma drugs and a truly nutritious diet, pharma gets absolutely clobbered in the reversal of the chronic diseases so common these days.
And then there's the cost of expensive (patented!) drugs vs food we have to buy anyway. Your choice, nutrient packed whole foods vs junk. What's it gonna be? Wanna be happy? Can't be happy if you are not healthy, one of the more simple facts of life.
Nutrition is not as complicated as it's made out to be: a balanced diet of whole foods nutrition is infinitely more effective than supplements. Can we live on supplements? Nope, but we can live on whole foods. But supplements are mostly benign, hundreds of studies show that on the whole they have no real effect on health positive or negative.
Pharma drugs however are very destructive to health. How do we know this? To repeat: we spend massively more on pharma than any other country in the world, and we have the worst health to show for it. And the dollar cost is extreme. If they worked better than good food perhaps the cost could be rationalized? But they don't work.
And yet we, on the whole, implicitly trust the health care industry.
And when the ancillary industries are included, big "food", chemical (pesticides, herbicides, fungicides), insurance, and yes Wall St too, they all collect massive profits from the source of misery called pharmacology.
Bottom line? The aggregate murder for profit number is truly astonishing, and nearly unimageable.
And yet we, on the whole, implicitly trust the health care industry.
How do these industries get away with it? It's a complex answer that includes an almost religious faith in technology, and new technologies. It is a collective unconscious bias of our age. Unconscious bias is also related to "magical thinking", which is endemic to human thinking since the search for the fountain of youth. We want the magic pill that solves all problems.
That pill does not exist, and yet it is an easy sell.
There is an actual fountain of youth, but it only involves certain diet and lifestyle choices that cost nothing. So big pharma and it's ancillaries assiduously ignore it. In fact they actively work to divert us from the knowledge of it. They know all they have to do is keep us confused about nutrition to get away with murder.

The Tsunami of Data in excess all cause deaths
A former wall street wealth manager analyzed reports of sudden death and excess death using the raw data collected continuously by the insurance industry, funeral home industry, and government databases.
Excessive deaths among the heathier than average working-age cohort in Americans have increased in 2021 versus 2020 when vaccines were not available. Why?
Edward Dowd presents his conclusions in this podcast.
Vaccine RNA in breast milk, and iatrogenesis
Dr. John Campbell discusses the first study looking for evidence of vaccine RNA in breastfeeding women (link below).
Reading through the comments below Dr Campbell's presentation reinforces the notion we are living through one of the strangest episodes in modern history.
We live on the one planet we are aware of that spontaneously generates biology, which if not the definition of miracle, nothing is. And yet here we are, the single animal expression of biology that invents technology, which has enriched our lives while systemically destroying the biological foundation we spring from and live upon.
We are collectively now aware of the predicament we have brought upon ourselves with technology...and what do we do as a result? Double down. Should we begin to approach the potential for biological destructivity with greater caution? Sooner than too late?
The myth we humans entertain which seems to be the most biologically destructive is that we will at some point in the not too distant (ever receding) future capture infinite intelligence through the agency of technology.
Meanwhile, in the the last few decades we have entered the age of iatrogenesis:
"relating to illness caused by medical examination or treatment".
Which seems to imply we, as a species, have yet to mature beyond adolescent like self-destructivity.
And we are growing evermore aware of iatrogenesis, as evidenced in the comments below Dr. Campbell's presentation, and even in research published within the purview of the same medical establishment cramming iatrogenesis down our throats, at the link below:
Iatrogenesis: A review on nature, extent, and distribution of healthcare hazards
And a quick "by the way" reminder, the third leading cause of premature death in the US is categorized as "medical mistakes". From a cause of health perspective relatively free of pharmacology iatrogenesis is easily the lead cause of premature death, a point we are on the whole still far from apprehending.
It all comes down to a mind-bendingly simple mistake: we have as yet failed to understand and implement the benefits of "cause of health" measures in our societies and individual lives. Instead we chase the huge profits generated by "health care", which delivers us into a paradox of vested interest in the destruction of health: big food that makes us sick, and big pharma that attempts to fix the effects of one toxin by putting another on top. How does that make even minimal sense?
But we do know (don't we?) that health is our most fundamental resource for good lives and societies.
In order to break out of this box of our own making we will have to collectively understand and manage the self destructive potential of our intrinsic instincts of fear and greed, which is admittedly easier said than done. Is it a task beyond the range of human capacity?
Here is Dr. Campbell's review of the discovery of vaccine RNA in breastmilk. And do please also review the comments below the video.

Press Conference: Dr. Aseem Malhotra's New Peer-Reviewed Papers
Well it seems the shocking levels of corruption in so-called health care (highly profitable permanent disease management) may finally be crashing through the screens of willful blindness so many of us have been unknowingly wearing.
Here is esteemed cardiologist Dr. Aseem Malhotra in a press conference discussing his recent papers in greater detail. This presentation is brilliantly done, and chock full of information we can all learn a lot from. Click the (blue) link directly below to skip straight to the beginning of the presentation:
https://youtu.be/ojPT9TWBikU?t=685
And here is a link to the World Council for Health (which hosted the press conference with Dr Malhotra) where you will find the same video presentation without ads, and also links to Dr. Malhotra's paper, as well as a host of additional related information.

Jay Bhattacharya: The legal case against Anthony Fauci
This legal case is potentially of historic import because it addresses (to the best of my knowledge) the very first example in US history of a complete across the board censorship in our liberal democracy, which is founded firmly on the anti-authoritarian principle of free speech.
Do some still believe unilateral and damaging coercive censorship did not occur? I suppose if one has only paid attention to mass media and Facebook they may yet be unaware? I don't know.
In any case, whether you are currently aware of this issue or not, you will very likely find this conversation most interesting, and perhaps also of the utmost importance, as I do.
Dr Doug Graham is a great health educator
Doug Graham knows more about the cause of health than anyone else I've come across, and not to brag, I have a fairly broad purview of the field. A very high capacity for logic, combined with 5 decades of experience with practices that actually do heal people with "incurable conditions", equals Doug Graham.
Perhaps the most amazing thing about him is he has been eating 100% raw foods for decades, and he's probably the healthiest 70 year old you will ever meet.
How is that even possible in today's world?
Here's an example of what it's like to be at one of his retreats.

Dr. Aseem Malhotra in conversation about the critical importance of restructuring the health care system
Dr. Malhotra's work was the topic of my previous post. This post is a brief conversation and more accessible than a research paper. And perhaps more interesting as well, as we get a very good sense of who Dr. Malhotra is, and why he feels strongly that health care and (especially) big pharma is in desperate need of reform.
It's brief, about 11 minutes 30 seconds. Enjoy.

Dr. Aseem Malhotra who promoted COVID-19 vaccine on TV calls for its immediate suspension
Not sure I can add anything to this beyond the title above, except to say here we have additional emergence of truth that has been obvious to many medical professionals from the early stages of Covid-19.

Americans are not gluten intolerant...
We are glyphosate intolerant (the chemical name for Roundup weed killer), and every wheat crop is drenched in the stuff several times.
Read all about it:
https://healthyindoors.com/2019/03/you-are-not-gluten-intolerant-you-are-glyphosate-intolerant/
https://www.bodymindforlife.com/post/2018/04/18/is-gluten-intolerance-linked-to-glyphosate
Think about it: wheat has been a staple crop for humans since the end of the hunter gatherer period and the beginning of the civilization period. Why are so many people suddenly wheat sensitive?
Some researchers also think increased consumption of glyphosate is responsible for the similar rise in incidence of autism.
Why isn't this information more widely available? Governments protect industries that produce the biggest revenues. It's a form of bias - they want to believe the source of all that profit is "safe", and government is the last entity to "know" an unsafe industry is indeed unsafe, even as many individuals in government have known of the health dangers for years, even decades. A lot of money is spent producing fraudulent studies purporting to "prove" safety, along with other types of misinformation.
And we the consumers want to believe this misinformation for a variety of reasons, but mostly we want to think "mommy/daddy" government puts our best interests ahead of all else, when frequently the exact opposite is the case. We also do not want the inconvenience of having to change long held beliefs and habits. Nor do we want to go against long held cultural norms, which can be deeply unsettling on an unconscious level.
But let me also say this: I do not think wheat grain is among the best and healthiest of foods, glyphosate or not. And I do believe in organic form it is not too bad if consumed in moderation, but the inorganic form soaked in weed killer is orders of magnitude more dangerous.
Be aware!

What does a 92 year old raw food vegan look like?
What does any 92 year old look like? Not that great usually. Fred Bisci has been consuming a raw vegan for 6 decades. You might even be thinking "how is he even still alive"? Well Fred is not only alive, he is also a live wire. Have a look, and give Fred some time, you will see a pretty amazing guy at 92.

Biology is bigger than politics
During the pandemic when I was doing my best to show how Big Pharma is doing it's best to fuck things up a very good friend said to me "you sound like a Trumper".
Gee that is verging on personal insult. People are emotional about things they care about, I can forgive my friend.
But let's get serious, biology is the container for everything we care about. WAY bigger than politics.
I am very comfortable being apolitical, thank you.

Diet rapidly and reproducibly alters the human gut microbiome
The quote below is from the abstract of a 2014 landmark study published in the journal Nature
(link) https://www.nature.com/articles/nature12820
"consumption of diets composed entirely of animal or plant products alters microbial community structure and overwhelms inter-individual differences in microbial gene expression"
The key phrase in the above is "overwhelms inter-individual differences in microbial gene expression". In other words the genes we are born with are not in complete control of our health and longevity outcomes. We exert control over whether our health and longevity related genes are turned on or off with diet and lifestyle choices.
This is not rocket science. When we poison ourselves with toxic choices health is the victim. And we are our health, it is equivalent to our level of functioning, and can even be said to be "the most important thing".
The bad news is diets we typically consider "healthy" are considerably more toxic than we realize. How do we know this?
We've been led to believe health is a consequence of our genes, and whether we are lucky or unlucky in the gene department. The originators and purveyors of that point of view is the pharma industry that just so happens to generate huge profits from manufactured treatments intended to counter the effects of bad diet and lifestyle choices. All of these treatments have negative side effects, and none are remotely as effective as the diet and lifestyle choices that are the actual cause of health.
In terms of diet the cause of health is those choices we are evolutionarily adapted to. Every species evolves to take nutritional advantage of some sliver of earth's biology. And consider that significant evolutionary changes in mammals take about 100,000 years on average. That means we are adapted to foods that existed 100,000 years ago and longer. Are we consuming foods that existed 100,000 plus years ago?
And further, are we consuming them in the form they existed in 100,000 plus year ago? Which means 100,000 years ago we gathered and ate food in the forms we found them in. How many restaurants serve that diet?....an effective zero.
Every species, including humans, has a species specific diet that is the product of hundreds of thousands of years of evolution.
But there is evolution and there is progress. The terms are frequently conflated, but are not the same thing. Evolution is the very slow changes in biology. Progress is the very rapid changes in technology. The attraction to genetic modification of organisms is that technology at last gives us the possibility to leapfrog over glacially slow evolution. But it's not going to work.
If you believe there is intelligence in the workings of nature you will find it easier to understand there are important reasons for the very slow pace of biological change: it prevents a chaotic level of changes that result in a Frankenstein version of nature. The classic novel Frankenstein can in fact be seen as a prescient warning about the dangers of skipping over the gradual evolutionary changes in nature that preserve it's symmetries and balances.
Human curiosity will not be blunted however. Logic affords a certain forecastability that may be noted but ultimately ignored, and we learn from our mistakes. And as usual we hope mistakes in technological progress do not sum at some point in the collapse in the species homosapien.
Pharma has a vested interest in not seeing these relationships clearly. So should we take their edicts and theories at face value? If we are consuming the human species specific diet and practicing the other causes of health, we should take them at face value only in those rare instances where there would be greater benefit than harm. And when that relationship is not crystal clear, err on the side of caution.
Pharmaceuticals are not food, they are foreign substances to the body, and consequently all have negative side effects. When we practice the cause of health we rarely need them, if ever.
Meanwhile the effects of practicing the cause of health are all positive.

Let's not be uninformed about the cause of health
Every one is born with a certain genetic potential. But let's say a person with 100 year genetic potential accidentally swallows a fatal dose of poison...genetic potential will not save them. There is a principle here: toxins outweigh genetic potential
A toxic lifestyle won't kill someone immediately, but it won't allow them to reach their genetic potential either.
So it's not that a less toxic diet and lifestyle will increase genetic potential, it's that it raises the odds genetic potential will be reached.
Diet isn't the magic here, lack of ingested toxins over the years is. There are only three things in diet that increase genetic potential, an adequate level of macro nutrition (calories), an adequate level of micro nutrients (vitamins minerals and other micros nutrients contained only in food), and efficiency in overall energy generation (effort to digest and utilize).
In addition to a non toxic diet one must also have a strong body to increase genetic potential. A weak body means a weak immune system (it's part of the body).
Health increases genetic potential. Health is not a mystery: do not poison yourself, and keep your body's defense system strong.
It is simple, but there is a certain amount of work involved. And a certain amount of education. The people who eat a toxic diet and do not move their body (the average American is obese) are not going to reach their genetic potential.
Why would someone not consume a non toxic diet and not move their body? Education is the primary culprit. We are not taught the cause of health. Instead we are taught modern medicine will save us. And it might. But that does not make medicine the cause of health.
Hippocrates said let food be your medicine. He also said all disease starts in the gut (where toxic food ends up).. If health was some big mystery to be solved with technology he could not have said those things that long ago.
There were no fat hunter gatherers, they would not have made it very far. We have been made fat by technology. Technology is good and bad, it's a double edged sword. Industrialism is destroying the environment. And industrialized food is destroying our health.
Modern man is mesmerized, hypnotized, by technology. Fine. I love my audio system and photography. I love sports cars too.
Which does not mean I also have to be uninformed about the cause of health.

Should we be eating stuff we couldn't make a meal of?
A meal is about 1000 calories, so for example, if we were really hungry we could easily make a meal of ripe bananas (about 10 of them) and would feel no ill effects doing it. In fact we might even feel surprisingly good. What about the typical standard American meal?
Doug has more to say about this idea:
Thai Vaccine Study
Dr. John Campbell looks at a new study out of Thailand on the safety and efficacy of the Pfizer Covid vaccine. Fascinating stuff, I encourage you to have a look.

Crony Capitalism: Big Pharma, Covid, & Vaccines
This presentation was sponsored by politically conservative group, but I am not a conservative, rather a social progressive and a registered democrat. However I am in agreement with the POV presented here.
Something beyond typical right and left politics seems to be going on since the beginning of the pandemic. Perhaps it can be explained by Mattias Desmet in his recently published research project The Psychology of Totalitarianism.
https://www.amazon.com/Psychology-Totalitarianism-Mattias-Desmet/dp/1645021726
As a result of my high level of interest in the true cause of health I have been made very aware of the many scholars, researchers, and clinicians from around the globe in agreement that what is being done does not make sense.

Just how corrupt is the pharma industry?
Short and sweet, two doctors speaking about the corruption in the pharma industry. I will let them do the talking.
Dr. John Campbell speaking about Pfizer's recent trouble with illegal exploitation:
And Dr. Pierre Kory speaking about pandemic policies that caused a humanitarian catastrophe:

The evidence is piling up, and it's getting more and more difficult to imagine how people in these industries rationalize putting profits ahead of lives.

The Zack Bush Channel
The title of this post is somewhat facetious because I am, clearly, not Zach Bush, make of that what you will:) But it has occurred to me more than once that if I only "curated" conversations and talks with and by Dr. Bush I would potentially be doing a service beyond ranting about how corrupt and ineffective our health care (disease management) system has become.
In the way we have no way of knowing we have become "separate" from nature until we spend some fairly extensive time in primeval wilderness (or at least that is when I was finally able to realize it), we've also lost our point of reference on what health is. And as a result of that we have no way of realizing that the pharmacology industry is at war with true health.
Which on the face of it may sound like a completely preposterous statement. Until and if we realize all of the so called chronic diseases are not primarily the result of aging or genetics (as we are told repeatedly), they are primarily the result of what we put in our mouths and swallow. And pharma does pretty much everything it can to suppress knowledge about the relative ease with which we can regain our health.
Which is basically this simple: eliminate absolutely everything that is processed and refined, and consume only whole foods. We hear this but basically cannot completely conceptualize how to do it, or accept it is that simple. And most so called health retreats don't help that much with the conceptual, educational side of it.
As a single example of many, the National Institute of Health, which is deeply embedded with pharmacology, is the US government's "department" of human health with several sub departments, each an "institute" in it's own right. There are 21 of them, here they are:
- National Cancer Institute (NCI)
National Eye Institute (NEI)
National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI)
National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI)
National Institute on Aging (NIA)
National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA)
National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID)
National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS)
National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB)
Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD)
National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD)
National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR)
National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)
National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA)
National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS)
National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS)
National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH)
National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD)
National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)
National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR)
National Library of Medicine (NLM)
Because nutrition is the CAUSE of health. And in this day and age, unless we know enough about nutrition to know what not to eat, and why, and what to eat, and why, we have no hope of avoiding the chronic diseases. Why aren't the NIH, the FDA, and the CDC telling us this?
Primarily because even if they were COMPLETELY aware of this, educating the public in it would destroy the profit structure the entire allopathic medical system, which has become behemoth, operates under.
And secondly, years ago, the allopathic model was based on the incorrect notion that every disease condition had a specific and unique pathological root cause, which created the opportunity for developing a unique pharmacological product for each disease. In that world view there is no such thing as a single condition that is causing the dozens of separate chronic and degenerative diseases that are killing the majority of the population many decades too soon.
That single condition does exist, and is simply a bad diet. A diet that creates addiction and generates huge profits.
It's almost too incredible to believe this is the case, and if it is the case the pharmacological industry would either be so completely blind to it, or so amoral as to effectively lie to us in order to continue generating huge profits on concoctions that do not reverse and cure these conditions.
The truth is it is way too late in the game for pharmacology not to have any inkling of the true cause of the dozens of the chronic diseases. It would be helpful to all of us to recognize the extent to which pharmacology is driven by profit, so much so that the goal of curing the majority of the population of chronic conditions is completely contrary to their tremendously profitable business model. On some level we cannot blame them, human nature being what it is. Or perhaps we can, but to me that is not the point (which is to get and stay healthy).
So let's be very clear about one thing: they are not going to give up their business model and get into the business of creating health. They simply are not going to do it. And there is also very little chance we can force them to do it, there is way too much money in it. The lobbies that "buy" congress. The ancillary industries that also generate huge profits on disease: chemical, fast food, insurance, hospitals, cancer hospitals for children!
And BTW, this is not a call to give up on allopathic medical doctors, but it is to approach them with the understanding the vast majority are either uninformed or "trapped" by the system (or some combination of the two). And so it is to approach with some caution, and "use" them intelligently. These are good people who want to do good. Most are motivated at the beginning to do good.
An aside. When I was signing up for medicare the agent asked what prescriptions I was taking. I said none. The agent then proceeded to ask the exact same question two more times. As if they thought I was lying, or embarrassed, or what, I don't know. Apparently they don't hear that from individuals of that age very often.
If we want to reverse and cure chronic conditions we have to take it on ourselves to do so, and there is some work involved. How valuable are you to you? Personally I think you are pretty damn fabulous, and I want you around as long as humanly possible.
Oh, and Dr. Zach Bush? You could do a lot worse than to start with him. But I must warn you he is prolific, and not all, perhaps not most, of his output is direct information on how exactly to reverse chronic conditions.
Anyway, here is a lovely conversation with Dr. Bush titled "The 6th Great Extinction". Doesn't sound like a lovely topic? Well it isn't, but there isn't a lovelier treatment of it than you will hear than this one...from Dr. Zach Bush.
