So, an apple a day keeps the righteous away - who would've thought!

I couldn't find any public records of the trial. Has it started?

It's very hard to gain weight on nuts, especially raw nuts. Forget everything you've been told about how bad animal based fat is, that's the only fat that's natural and paleo in large quantities. You've already cut out eggs and rejected dairy (as most paleoers do), so that leaves meat fat/marrow/suet/brain. Get yourself some good quality sources and use that for your fat.

Also pescatarian tends to make it harder to gain weight, as most fish meat is too lean. There are some fatty fish out there, where I live it's generally river fish, but they are more polluted than ocean fish. You'll have to experiment and research to find the types of fish that are good for you.

Keto also makes it hard to gain weight, particularly fat weight. Have some raw unheated honey for carbs if you need to add some fat weight.

Read through this forum and you'll find this is much more than your average paleo diet forum, with a wealth of astounding knowledge, thoughts and discoveries that go far above and beyond everything you've heard elsewhere.

An economic depression is a time when the economy needs to liquidate massive malinvestment incurred during the preceding artificial boom, and the malinvestment is so massive that a lot of industries must suffer massive reorganization, be started from scratch or be entirely scrapped off the system. The problem is compounded by actors (usually govt) attempting to pump the economy back up via more artificial stimulus, which was what caused the problem in the first place.

A mental depression is often similar in nature. One lifestyle is good and healing, but can be isolating in an insane world, and the other is just artificial highs and conformity, and it can make it easier to navigate the insane world we live in.

I highly doubt your problem has anything to do with nutrition. It's probably what you think about the different lifestyles.

There are millions of way to season meat so it will not taste bland.

You can also try warming it up to body temperature. That will improve taste.

You can also look for other sources of meats.

If the meat has been frozen it will taste a lot more bland. If it's feedlot meat, it will taste a lot more bland.

roids is short for steroids.

All artificial hormones are harmful. Hormones are a signal to your body's tissues to act a certain way, they are not a source of power or health. If you've suffered an injury that damages your body's ability to produce certain hormones, perhaps you could have an argument. But blanket injecting artificial hormones into anyone is a terrible idea. If your body wanted hormones, it would make them.

Being very active is not always a good idea. If your body wanted you to be lifting up weights, climbing steep mountains and doing muay thai, it would make the natural versions of the artificial hormones you're injecting. AV always said some people shouldn't be too active, and there's nothing wrong with that, particularly once you reach a certain age.

This lifestyle will improve the health of anyone, so yes saber, whatever someone's poison is, they can mitigate it being smart in other lifestyle choices. Of course that doesn't mean the poison is good or that it will have no ill effects on them.

I am hopeful that everything could go as you plan. I'll try to keep tabs on this so I don't miss your help requests.

You could always move to a rural area and keep your own bees.

Or, get to know your farmers/beekeepers really well, and then you know if you can trust them.

Did the first trial start? Best of luck and I hope you can find a way to talk some sense into the NPCs.

Also people say that if the meat is factory grown and toxic it's best to cook it before eating.

Do the toxins just disappear once cooked I don't understand.

There could be toxins added on purpose, that become inert during cooking. But other than those nefarious poisons, no, cooking doesn't remove most toxins, but what it does do, according to AV, is break the fat cell barriers that bind some of those toxins, and make them available for you, so you can accumulate them instead of letting them pass by. This may result in lower incidences of digestive distress, but not for good reasons.

Another thing cooking does according to AV, is stop or minimize the intensity of detoxes, so you can feel "fine", but really you aren't doing yourself any favors in the long term.

so i managed to find a source of unheated honey. the guy says they don’t filter it, mix it nor heat it, that the honey is untouched and just what the bees have made it to be. so, i am wondering now if there is a way to test it, since i hate blindly believing what most people say. so far it seems fine, the honey doesn’t disrupt my digestion if i don’t eat too much of it(one day i really ate too much lol and my digestion wasn’t as great as usually), as the conventional honey does, but i’m still not convinced. is there any way to test the honey in some way for signs that would indicate it was heated or processed?

There are a few things you could do, but none is entirely reliable.

In my experience, if you eat truly raw honey alone, you will feel a weird sensation in your stomach, and it might even make you feel lightheaded. Heated honey doesn't cause this, or doesn't cause it as much.

Raw honey tends to crystallize more easily than heated honey.

If heated a lot, honey tends to become clearer.

Unfiltered honey will have bits of debris in it, that's the reason it is regularly filtered, to remove any impurities.

Any ideas or experiences as to what natural materials can be used to make effective ear muffs for sound reduction?

I'm looking for a material that will reduce sound perception without having to press hard against your ears, and I want to avoid plugs if possible.
