=================================================

echoing others:

Good morning!

I get asked all the time why vegetables, and other plant foods are bad for us…

Think like a plant. You’re rooted in the ground. You can’t bite, run, kick, or claw to defend yourself like an animal…

Like every living organism, you want to pass your DNA on to the next generation. So you harvest the sun’s energy to produce your seed (baby). ☀️

If a predator eats your roots, stems, leaves, and definitely your seed, you won’t be able to reproduce and pass on your DNA…

So you put defenses in these parts in order to dissuade animals from eating you (and maybe some thorns as well for good measure)…

And these defense chemicals can absolutely trigger autoimmune issues, GI distress, and hormonal issues… 💩

Look, the way to frame this is if you’re thriving, don’t worry about it.

Go ahead and eat some onions, garlic, or broccoli if you enjoy them… 🧄🧅🥦

Does anybody ACTUALLY enjoy broccoli though? 😂

But if you have an autoimmune disease…

Or if you have a weird rash, poor sleep, gas or other gut issues (40% of people have a gut issue), then consider the “wild notion” that vegetables, leaves, stems, roots and seeds may be HARMING you.

Our ancestors considered vegetables to be survival food at best…

Yes, they ate them, and modern hunter-gatherers will eat them a little bit today, but really only when they’re starving…

Yet somehow we’ve elevated these survival foods to the pantheon of the gods…

And that’s just bullshit in my opinion.

Vegetables are a survival food, and I don’t believe there are any key or important nutrients that you can’t get in more bioavailable forms in higher quantities from meat, organs, fruit, honey or raw dairy.

Take oxalates for example, which are a compound found in plant foods that can cause all sorts of problems including kidney stones…

They have also been associated with sleep disturbances, joint and muscle pain, neurological issues, and decreased absorption of minerals in the human body…

And plants like spinach, turmeric and almonds are oxalate BOMBS.

Then there are lectins, a carbohydrate-binding protein found in beans and grains and which strongly appear to cause issues in the human gut…

Gluten is perhaps the canonical lectin that causes inflammation in the gut, leading to regression of the small intestinal villi and to celiac disease…

And there is now a growing awareness that many people who are not technically celiac, still have a pretty bad negative autoimmune reaction to gluten found in grains like wheat. These are not healthy for humans.

And even non-glutinous grains like rice and oats are not great for humans.

We know that rice contains arsenic and heavy metals… And we know that oats are very high in phytic acid, a nutrient that can chelate minerals and prevent their absorption, leading to nutrient deficiencies.

I believe that fruit, fruit juice, honey, raw dairy, and maple syrup are much better sources of carbohydrates for humans.

In the “brassica family” of plants, which include kale, broccoli, chard, cauliflower or mustard, there lies a special set of defense chemicals called isothiocyanates…

One isothiocyanate in particular called goitrin appears to be a potent inhibitor of iodine absorption at the level of the thyroid – no bueno!! 👎

These chemicals only exist in these plant leaves when they are chewed, a clear defense mechanism to dissuade predation…

And sure, if you’re cooking the crap out of your vegetables, and you really just want to eat them to be happy, do it… knock yourself out.

But for those of you who are suffering, consider eliminating them from your diet and see if you do better.

When you get rid of these plant foods, what’s left to eat? Meat, organs, fruit, honey, raw dairy. That is what an animal-based diet is and that is the whole shift that I am hoping to challenge people to make.

I don’t think this is the ideal diet for everyone… It is perhaps too restrictive for some people.

But it is a fantastic elimination diet that can really help with so many health issues… and it definitely includes enough variety to keep it interesting.

It also includes all the nutrients you need to thrive, that is unquestionable. I’ve shown this on my podcast with a detailed micronutrient analysis.

So I believe that vegetables are not great for humans. They’re highly defended.

If you tolerate them and are thriving, then don’t change a thing.

But if you have health issues then strongly consider eliminating vegetables, leaves, stems, roots and seeds from your diet and see if you feel better.

There are now tens of thousands of people who have found significant improvement in their health… often in the face of incredulity from their doctors, friends and families by doing this.

I do listen to several sources:

Fellow Human,

Feeling bloated, irritable, or just plain sluggish?
Are your trips to the bathroom a bit…explosive?
If so, it might be time to take a closer look at your gut health.
As you may know, the gut is responsible for a lot more than just digesting food.
In fact, it plays a critical role in everything from hormone regulation to immune function.
Unfortunately, a lot of the modern-day poison that’s in our food is extremely tough on our guts.
Literally, the Standard American Diet is designed (maybe intentionally, maybe not, *conspiracy music starts to play*) to create inflammation and disrupt the delicate balance of our gut microbiome. 
I joke around with this being a conspiracy, but in every joke, there’s also a little hint of truth usually…
High inflammation in your brain directly leads to anxiety and depression.
If everyone is sick, unhealthy, anxious, and depressed…
I don’t need to go any further, if you’re somewhat intelligent, you get the point.
The way you combat this is by removing a lot of the modern-day junk from your diet…
And also removing foods which are known to irritate the gut…
Nuts, seeds, grains, legumes…
All of those gots to go.
But past that, it’s also by introducing foods that seriously help improve your gut health.
Animal-based foods.
Meats.
Organs.
Collagen.
Fats.
And even outside that, you gotta introduce some sweets that come from good ole’ mother nature herself…
Blueberries
Mangoes
Papaya
Pineapple
Watermelon
Remove the junk, remove the irritants, and replace it with what you’re intended to eat…
And watch how much better you feel on a day-by-day basis.
Moo,

The mind at work:

Dr. Simon Goddek
@goddeketal
This Eye-Opening Analogy Will Change Your Perceptions of the Covid Pandemic In his book, “The Lost Art of Healing,”
Nobel Laureate Bernard Lown recounts a remarkable experiment conducted on a condemned prisoner in India in 1936. Given the choice between being hanged or having his blood gradually and painlessly drained, the prisoner chose the latter. Strapped to a bed and blindfolded, water containers were secretly attached to the bedposts, and drip buckets were set up below. The sound of dripping water was then played loudly and gradually, and as it stopped, the healthy young man’s heart stopped as well. He died without losing a drop of blood.
Dennis Coon’s “Essentials of Psychology, Exploration and Application,” states two ways of dying from fright. One is through the “fight-or-flight” response causing physiological reactions, and the other is “parasympathetic rebound” which results in the stopping of the heart when the body tries to calm itself too much.
The experiment that was conducted on the Indian prisoner sentenced to death was replicated on the global population in March 2020. We were led to believe that there was a highly dangerous virus and a pandemic of unprecedented scale. This caused billions of people to fear for their lives, as the media portrayed a common cold as something that was perceived by many people as an extinction-level event, which they were reminded of all day long by all these mask-wearing zombies (by the way, that was the main reason for the mask mandate).
It is crucial to note that instead of responding to the PsyOp in China (where fake videos were released by the Chinese Communist Party, showing Chinese citizens trembling on the streets), with calmness and composure, the media propagated fear and panic, which is the opposite of a pandemic response, as prescribed by the WHO until 2020. This led to elevated cortisol levels in the body, triggering numerous inflammatory processes that resulted in quicker deaths, particularly for weaker individuals.
Although Covid-19 is often claimed to be a bioweapon (i.e. discussions about GoF research, lab-theory, are just a distraction in my opinion), the absence of excess mortality in African countries where people were unaware of Covid makes it quite improbable. Nevertheless, our governments are utilizing other bioweapons that harm our health, such as trans fats and high-carb diets. Furthermore, the importance of vitamin D and exercise is being disregarded, and fear is being maintained through obscure testing strategies (the test is the pest and

@c_drosten

knew exactly what he developed this Covid PCR protocol for) and the constant emergence of new ‘DEADLY’ variants.

The pandemic response was THE (!!!) deadly scandal that went against the policy of calming the population and taking positive health measures. Instead of promoting healthy habits and banning harmful substances, the response was to impose strict measures, inject gene therapy, and spread fear through the media. Fear kills. Those who spread fear and orchestrated the whole plandemic were consequently killing millions of people and thus need to be held accountable.
It is high time to recognize that the real danger to our health is not a virus but rather the harmful practices that are being propagated by our governments and other powerful entities such as

@gatesfoundation

,

@wef

,@wellcometrust, etc. We must take control of our health by making informed choices about what we put into our bodies and how we take care of ourselves. Only then can we hope to emerge from this crisis stronger and healthier than ever before.

tl;dr – this wasn’t a pandemic caused by a mere common cold virus, but a deliberate plan to spread fear and enslave the global population in the name of the Great Reset, also known as the Fourth Industrial Revolution. And to those who label me a conspiracy theorist, mark my words, we will revisit this topic in 2-3 years and see who was right all along.
Cheers, Dr. Simon

I like Dr Saladino, he questions things.. his links should  work…

 

Good morning!

I’m back this week with to answer some of the most common questions I get from people starting out on an animal-based diet:

#1 How many carbs should you eat on an animal-based diet?

Carbohydrates are essential for proper electrolyte maintenance, hormonal health, athletic and cognitive performance, sleep, mood, and so much more…

And I believe the ideal amount is 0.9g – 1.1g per pound of goal body weight. But this can fluctuate a bit based on activity level…

If you’re more active, try more carbs. If you’re more sedentary, you may prefer less…

If you want to check out what carbs might be a good starting point for you, try the animal-based calculator on my website.

What type of carbs should you eat on an animal-based diet?

I suggest getting your carbs from the least toxic sources…

These include fruit, the part the plant WANTS you to eat…

Plants put their defense chemicals in the leaves, stems, roots, and seeds, and package the seeds in colorful, palatable fruit with very little defense chemicals for you to consume.

And honey – a food prized by our ancestors and hunter gatherers around the world today, with so many benefits including nitric oxide precursors…🍯

Plus raw milk…a powerhouse of nutrients like calcium and vitamin K2 and so many proven benefits for asthma, allergies, and eczema.

A question I always get is about diabetics. Here’s my take…

If you are really symptomatic from carbs and need to control symptoms, you’ll have to lower them for a time while you get your body under control…

HOWEVER, sugar in whole food form is NOT the root cause of your diabetes, and I believe restricting carbs will only result in more long term issues…‼️

There is evidence that giving honey to diabetes doesn’t worsen glucose tolerance at all… And I don’t believe sugar is the bad guy here…

Who is the bad guy? Seed oils are the main offenders. I’ve done a ton of recent newsletters on why, and also multiple podcasts.

How much protein should I eat on an animal-based diet?

Based on your goal body weight I would recommend:

.9g/lb for women

1g/lb for men

For instance:

If you are a 120lb woman (or your goal body weight is 120 lbs), you might want to consume 108g of high quality animal protein per day…

This could easily be achieved with a bit of ground beef, some eggs, a bit of cheese and a glass of raw milk…

And remember that animal protein is MUCH more bioavailable than plant protein (like 2x!)…🤯

So if you are trying to get your protein from plants… Wait, no, just scratch that. DON’T try to get your protein from plants!

If you are a 150lb man or have a goal body weight of 150lbs, you would want around 150g of protein daily…

12 oz of ground beef, a few eggs, some cheese, and milk and you’re there…

For a 180lb man or someone with a goal body weight of 180lbs, a bit more ground beef, another egg with cheese and milk… you get the idea.

The point is that if you are getting your protein from animal foods, it’s pretty easy (and tasty) to get enough for optimal muscle protein synthesis and recovery.

It’s also much easier to get enough protein when you aren’t eating things like grains, beans, nuts, seeds, etc.. or tons of fibrous (but not very valuable) vegetables…

There’s only so much you can eat in a day, so make the foods you consume the most nutrient rich you can if you truly want to thrive.

What sort of meat should I eat on an animal-based diet?

I think ground beef is AMAZING…

And it’s 90% of the meat that I eat.

It also has some beneficial parts of the animal that we often miss when we eat other cuts of meat…

Including the connective tissue that contains glycine from the collagen.

And we know that collagen is absolutely crucial for healthy skin, hair and nails, as well as bone health, among many other benefits. But what about glycine? 🤔

Glycine is used to make glutathione, an extremely vital antioxidant for the human body necessary for proper tissue building and repair, immune system function, and the list goes on…

Another cool thing about ground beef is that most butchers will grind organs in there if you ask…🥳

And don’t forget to ask your butcher to add more FAT to your ground beef. If you’re opting for store-bought, 80/20 is great…

But a lot of butchers will make a 70/30 or 60/40 blend if you ask them too…

Do NOT fear animal fats. They contain things like stearic acid that improves mitochondrial function and is so beneficial for you.

Finally…

DON’T FORGET TO ADD ORGANS TO YOUR DIET

This is probably the best thing you can do to radically improve your health…

And if you are wondering which organ to start with, make it LIVER.

Because liver is so rich in nutrients that are hard to find other places in your diet…

And eating just 0.5oz (15g!) per day will significantly increase the quality of your nutrition.

Don’t believe me? Just look at the nutrients found in liver: choline, riboflavin, folate, b12, copper, zinc, biotin, vitamin A… and that’s just the start…

And guess what? All of those nutrients are bioavailable, unlike the nutrients in things like kale and spinach…

These are bound up in anti-nutrients and harmful compounds that inhibit your thyroid, hormones, and digestion. Liver is the REAL superfood…

My preferred way to eat liver is raw and frozen, this prevents it from spoiling…I’ll eat about 1/2 ounce per day = the size of a quarter! 🤯

I chew this, but if you don’t like the taste, you can cut it into small pieces and swallow like a pill…

I get liver from a very trusted source of grass fed / finished animals, so I choose to eat this raw to savor the nutrients…

But if you’re not 100% sure about your sourcing, you can definitely sear this on the grill…

Or get it freeze dried in a capsule like we make at Heart & Soil.

However you get liver, adding this organ to your life will significantly improve your overall health!
