Omnivorous Raw Paleo Diet / used to be "anti-nut"...
« on: March 14, 2022, 04:42:47 pm »
...but that was because of my vegan phase where nuts (and seeds) and a huge part of the diet. Full on bloating and constipation. I avoided nuts like the plague for many years, but after having very slowly more or less healed my gut (still not perfect) by going omnivore, I really love nuts -in small amounts. That's the trick. Almonds (their skins actually) are still not good more me, but many other nuts are ok. And, people forget the boron the give, a forgotten mineral (also good for teeth).

Health / water filter, ioniser, water distiller...? Help/suggestions please
« on: February 12, 2021, 08:10:58 pm »
What do you recommend to filter tap water? The town in Germany where I live says it offers good quality tap water, but there are still medicines and other residues, I am quite sure, plus the pipes in the building are old and when I have not run the tap for some time, for some days, or even sometimes overnight, the water has a brownish colour. Ionizer, distiller, water osmosis? I have an excess of minerals in my joints and body, so distilling could be good, maybe, but I once tried once distilled water from a distiller with a plastic top (the fan, but the recipient was of stainless steel) and the taste was terrible, it had a plastic/chemical aftertaste and irritated my throat.
Not easy to find a good solution for water. Ground water now being more a more contaminated. Rainwater: better, I think, but the crazy thing I heard recently is that in some states (was it Arizona or Colorado? Can't remember, where it's now illegal to harvest rainwater...
GOOD water is become scarce, we need to focus more on it.

Off Topic / Land
« on: January 23, 2021, 10:36:00 pm »
I just read now that Gates is buying up a lot of (farm) land in the US, and is the biggest farmland owner in the US. Not some happy news.

It's really time to think about how to survive in the future, owning land (or knowing some people owning land, or having access to some ) should be our priority right now.

I have long time wanted to buy some land in Europe, but being stuck in Germany is really not great as land prices are insane, and there isn't that much land anyway. So I am open to other place/countries, and maybe even continents (as a Europeans citizen).

Also, how will the economy be in the future? I have been promised a little bit money to buy some land (or home), not that much, but still something, and I feel I need to do that soon.

Any people here in Europe? Any suggestions, ideas? Where to search? Maybe you know a good area? Maybe you know some land/farm for sale? Where not to go or what to avoid? What to think about? Any kind of suggestions very welcome, thanks.  I'm also happy to invite/ welcome other people who might want to join/visit/move in if the place could accommodate more people.

Off Topic / "Game wars"
« on: January 15, 2021, 07:49:11 pm »
That's the title of a great non fiction book I'm reading, about undercover guys going after poachers.
First I need to say that I eat almost only wild meat, and buy it from reliable sources.
But that doesn't mean there isn't some dirty business going on. Some eskimos are/were big time into walrus ivory hunting, and you even didn't need to bring cash if  to get some ivory, because vodka, and all sorts of drugs were even more welcome than cash. Of course the real big guys and corrupt institutions are a big part of it, and they all work hand in hand and need each others. And in the south, the rednecks and the government and judges are good friends and did a lot of damage by overfishing and over hunting ducks etc, but that does not mean the "poor" rednecks are just victims of the big guys, far from it. It's a dirty business.
The bleeding heart mentality for the lower classes and for some natives, who are "always right/good/victims" is totally an illusion.
It's good to know the whole story, and this book is a real page turner and eye opener. One of the major undercover guys is actually a hunter himself, and says the solution is not to prohibit hunting as many environmentalists want to do, but to have responsible hunters and stop the greedy ones. The responsible hunters are actually the true friends of the environment, because they want a healthy bountiful nature.

Omnivorous Raw Paleo Diet / bees fed on sugar?
« on: December 01, 2020, 10:04:13 pm »
I was for a very longtime using honey, but have been having a long brake from it, and dont miss it. Even raw, organic honey is made normally by feeding the bees with sugar. Does not feel right to me, even if the end product is nectar based, the bees probably dont get optimum health from that some junk food.
I also talked to a person whose both parents were dentists, and he insisted that patients who ate a lot of honey - specifically - had very bad teeth. I was sceptical, but he really insisted that their experience showed more tooth decay among them compared to others eating a lot of sweet foods.
Anyone knows where/how to search for honey where the bee-keeper only takes a part of the honey and let the colony live on the rest of the honey ? What is it called? I know there are many different types of constructions to host the bees, some can be stressful for the bees, other less efficient (for humans to access the honey) but more natural.
I have tried the grubs in the combs, not very filling, but still nice. The easiest way to eat it is just to squeeze out the juices (they are much more watery that you'd first imagine), or just chew the whole thing, wax, honey and grubs, actually really tasty.
If you want the grubs, ask for the "male bees" in the spring if you know a bee-keeper, they usually want to get rid of the excess, if you are lucky you get them for more or less nothing.

Hot Topics / Electricity and humans, animals, nature
« on: May 15, 2020, 04:52:19 pm »
We need to see the bigger picture. There has been a huge cover up since 200 years, concerning the effects of electricity, telegraph, AM/FM radio towers, wireless, army/navy communication towers, HAARP, satellites,  on humans, animals and nature.
When electricity was discovered, people did A LOT of experiments, and also used on people to try to cure different problems. There was a lot of data that piled up, and knowledge concerning the interaction of electricity and humans. But this knowledge has been "forgotten".

There were 2 different (opposing) "schools" concerning the nature of electricity: one was led by Galvani, who said that electricity was part of life, that we are electric beings, and therefore sensitive to it. The other was led by Volta, seing electricity as an external force. He won, and that is what we see today: a big denial, and a mechanistic view took over.

Just as a scientific example: the ear.
Today, in biology teaching of the ear, chemistry rules, and electricity is omitted/forgotten. But there has been many experiments and discoveries confirming that the ear can NOT work by simply applying mechanical explanation. There are parts in the ear that have electrical properties, they have large voltage. Naftalin proved it was absurd to apply the mechanical theory. We have electro-receptors in our ear. And many fish hear with electricity. The older part of our ear, the saccule, is an ultrasound receptor, among other, and has nothing to do with "normal" hearing.

44% of Americans have had some sort of tinnitus. Scientists thought, this is weird, so people have got less good hearing? Because in the past, tinnitus was usually connected to people with not so good hearing. But a study showed that americans have even better hearing that before. Some scientists believe that tinnitus is about hearing ultrasonic frequencies. All our surrounding are polluted with an incredible soup of dirty electricity and other. Almost all the electricity that flows in the power grid is contaminated. Also, fluorescent light bulbs often have radio transmitters, an "electronic ballast", sending in the ultrasonic range. And studies in 2003, Vienna, have showed that tinnitus increases with cellphone use.

Some see the biggest threat coming from satellites. Wifi or 5G from space for instance. An enormous amount of satellites are planed to be launched in 2020, started in end 2019. Low orbit satellites in the magnetosphere will change the Global electrical circuit, that we all have evolved with, and will pollute it with pulsed, modulated electronic signals.

General Discussion / hunters shooting for fun and dumping meat
« on: April 27, 2019, 12:47:25 am »
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/foodanddrink/10449126/Dont-bin-pheasant-its-worth-a-shot-in-the-kitchen-pot.html

Hunted pheasants in th Uk are often dumped/not eaten. I've also seen that a lot of dogfood made of wild pheasant.
So the hunters goes shooting in the wild, then goes home and eat some factory meat? Strange times we live in.

I think that they are allowed to eat some meat, but in general they eat much more tofu and fake meat made of soy. Tofu/soy is definitely going to trigger some oestrogens and make they more overweight.
Because they have their last meal around mid-day, and are not allowed to eat after that, so they drink a lot sugary drinks and sometimes energy drinks. The food offered for free in the mornings is sometimes also packaged junk food...

Read the last part about the school children dead because of cooking oil stored in a container previously used for pesticides?

This one of the main reasons I don't travel anymore to India and other places around: pesticides. It's totally out of control.

Off Topic / Growth hormone identical in cow and human
« on: December 13, 2018, 10:04:24 pm »
there is a natural hormone called IGF-I in cow milk that happens to be identical in humans and cow milk. It's a growth hormone, and  what some researchers have found out, is that it is connected to prostate- breast and lung cancer. This growth hormone help the cancer cells grow.

Found this on "notmilk.com":


HEADLINE:

Maasai Milk Link to Healthy Hearts, by Nigel Hawkes, Health
Editor

Hawkes writes:

"The milk-drinking diet of Maasai tribesmen in East Africa,
who drink huge quantities of milk but remain almost immune
to heart disease, could be the inspiration for a theory that
could turn the dairy industry upside down."

The diets of the Maasai were investigated and given credit
for low heart disease rates.   Maasai drink milk...and
plenty of it.  However, Maasai do not own refrigerators.
Milk spoils and kills Maasai long before they have an
opportunity to die from heart complications.

In attempting to keep the milk from spoiling, the Maasai
ferment the beverage with two not-so appetizing substances:
blood drawn from the necks of their cattle, and feces.  The
fermentation process allows bacteria to digest lactose.

Will one have to drink milk with blood and feces to prevent
heart disease?  Not at all!

There is a serious flaw in this story.

Maasai live in Kenya and Tanzania.  The life expectancy of a
male in Kenya is 46.5 years, according to the World Almanac.
It gets worse in Tanzania, where the average male is
expected to live just 43.85 years.

To suggest that these milk drinking people are healthy, is
to deceive and lie. So, Maasai don't dies of heart disease.
They should only live that long!

Oh, yes.  African people experience little or no episodes of
osteoporosis. The one exception are the milk-drinking
Maasai.  MILK; What a surprise!

Off Topic / "Disgusting foods"

What is disgusting one isn't always for the other.

https://www.theguardian.com/food/shortcuts/2018/oct/31/bulls-penis-and-fermented-horse-milk-why-do-we-find-some-foods-disgusting

For me, one really disgusting thing is cow milk

Never eaten brain from a mammal, not sure why, but there is a blockage there. But fish head/brain was nice. (maybe because the animal is smaller, or maybe because it's not a mammal? not sure)

But I believe you can train your self. Eating raw eggs was unthinkable for me 6 years ago.
Raw meat was never a problem, felt very easy and natural. Same with raw fish. I think this has to do with the fact that in my childhood we had sushi once in a while.

Traditional thais thinks dairy is totally disgusting (but it's changing fast).

Fruitarians always pride themselves over their excellent karma, just picking a fallen fruit given to us from a tree and living as one with nature ... Fruitarians are addicted to durian, you have no idea how much money they can spend on durian, they will even greedily not share a location with others where durians are found (are usually sold out where fruitarians are around) so they can have it for themselves. Fruitarianism makes one greedy and desperate, because the lack of nutrition drives you onto survival mode.

Another bad habit the chinese have (I saw this many times in my travels in Asia) is that they throw away big parts of their meals

Health / Arsenic: don't eat your vegetables
« on: October 07, 2018, 05:14:37 pm »
Arsenic is present in veg (dark leafy greens, cabbage, brassicas), root crops (such as carrots, beets, radish etc), fruits juices (apple, pear, grapes), rice, organic or not, makes no difference (and brown rice has much higher levels of arsenic), seaweed.
Veg with less arsenic are "fruit" veg such as cucumber, tomatoes, squash.
Groundwater can have high arsenic levels, and rice from Texas for instance is more toxic than in other places in the US, because of previous cotton fields being contaminated with the toxins that are stored in the earth for a long time.
There is also some talks about arsenic in seafood, mussels, dark meat fish, but some say it's a different kind of arsenic and not as toxic. Another source of arsenic is non organic chicken, as they are fed food laced with arsenic, it makes them grow faster and increases their appetite. And the chicken manure of these chickens, used very often on rice fields and other, is full of arsenic.
Bangladesh has a huge arsenic problem in its groundwater, and so all the crops are more or less contaminated and some crops absorb more of the toxins than others (rice, leafy greens, some fish, potatoes, root veg).

Health / Teeth
« on: July 02, 2018, 12:08:32 am »
I have very sensitive teeth (because they actually somehow damaged), and I can feel after I've eaten/drank something, how my teeth and their roots are reacting. Here are some observations:
Good:
-Raw animal fat feels really great for my teeth, also raw meat, sometimes organs
-sometimes alcohol, fermented stuff, green tea, some greens.
Bad:
-chocolate, coffee, too cold/hot food, grains, too much sugar (though moderate amount don't bother me)

Off Topic / Traditional asian foods... some amazing stuff:
« on: June 15, 2018, 05:16:40 pm »
Some cool recipes in Asia mostly, not really raw paleo, but... quite near in some cases, not really mono meals:
Bali: Lawar relish (mostly raw, onion, spices, coconut, fresh herbs and veg, though not always all ingredients raw) and sometimes mixed with raw pig blood.
Yunnnan, south China: raw pig sashimi, including skin
Japan: high quality free-range raw chicken sashimi in nice teriyaki restaurant, apparently tasty and tender.
Korea: fermented raw fish sashimi
Hawaii:
-Lomi lomi  (some sort of salad with tomato-onion plus raw fish)
-Poke: raw fish/tuna, tender with marinade, apparently amazing stuff.
Never tried any of these things, but honestly... quite tempting. What I like with S E Asia is that because they dont really rely on dairy, they are big fans of animal fats and innards/organs, even if cooked.
I have noticed that many people addicted to dairy are disgusted by animals fats and organs. (Which is quite a majority of people in the West).
