Hi consoomer.

Regarding the concern for parasites, you are probably correct.  There are some parasites whose effect is unnoticeable; and some are actually beneficial for certain illnesses (helminth therapy).  I think what gets lost in the whole "parasites are bad" discussion is that, even if they are bad, the benefits from eating raw meat at times outweighs the risk of getting parasites.  If the raw meat heals your body and is the best for you, then the concern about parasites is not that big of a deal.  If you get them, then yes you can get medication to get rid of them.  That being said, the one thing I would be afraid to eat raw is pork...for the reason that their parasites do not always stay in the gut (they can travel to other organs, like the brain).  However, some do choose to eat pork raw.  This is simply my choice not to eat it. 

I'm not sure about wild game.  I don't eat it because it's not available to me.  But I once was studying for a course to get a hunting license.  The hunters have to learn about the diseases wild animals may have, so that they don't consume the sick ones and then become sick themselves.  Part of the reason hunters cannot sell their catch to someone else is that the wild animals aren't raised under controlled conditions, so no one can ensure that they are completely healthy for consumption.  It is kind of a risk, but I think there are probably other members here who have eaten or regularly eat wild game meat raw with no bad effects. 

I don't know anything about raw oysters, lol.

Nevermind the rant from political atheist....lol

The system is already collapsing (in the US).

We've been primed to remain helpless and dependent by learning useless things from age 3 to age 25 in "schools" that "help" us acclimate to the world.

The other day I read an article about the top items that will increase in price in the grocery store in 2022.  Those items were:  beef, chicken, eggs, vegetables.

What is left to eat?  Tree bark?  Grass?

If we were self-sufficient and raising our own food, we would not even need a "supply chain".  We would already be supplying ourselves!

Modern civilization simply trains us to be good slaves for employers so that we are dependent on earning tokens to purchase what we should already know how to freely obtain for ourselves.  Backwards. 

If I were to be have kids, they would only be homeschooled and no college whatsoever.

We're the real woke ones.

That video is not of MilkJar.  That is an imposter.  You can clearly see the differences between this imposter and the real MilkJar if you watch the Ukraine meeting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5FO6BJx4lA 

The imposter has a broader face and different voice. Totally different. 

On multiple primal videos (including sv3rige) people have questioned what happened to Milkjar.  I don't know if it was a joke or true, but there was a rumor that he was killed fighting in the Ukraine.  Just from reading the comments in videos and the videos of Ludwig and the others, many of the group no longer want to be friends with sv3rige and there's been a "breakup" in that community.  Kind of sad, not sure why/who is responsible and I don't want to guess here and make false statements.  It's too bad people can't stick together in this.  There's so few who even attempt it and there's really no "community" to offer anyone support except here. Sorry for the long response.  I wish I knew what happened to many of the people who were part of the community as well.  Everyone seems to have fallen off the map (evehart, tyler durden) and it's disappointing me. 

Well, I know she mentioned being a fan of Jack Kruse.  So I checked that forum and she is posting over there regularly and recently. 

I hope kelpguy is still here and can answer, or someone else with experience dry-aging.

I bought beef in the plastic wrap from the supermarket and I've been dry-aging it a couple days.  It has turned darker and tougher, like jerky, as kelpguy said.  I was hoping it would still be tender inside and have like a mold or other discoloration on the outside.  I feel like this is the kind of meat that I want (I don't want it fresh).  Is dry-aging the way to achieve what I want?  Or am I just going to be making raw beef jerky?

Sv3rige just did a video that he leaves his high meat unaired for about three months.  I was wondering what people here would think of that, especially regarding potential botulism.

Well I haven't been here in sometime.

I've been really stressed the past two months because of work.  As of yet, there has been no "workplace mandate."  We are able to avoid the federal mandate because we don't meet the criteria.  However, there is a sh*t-stirrer in the office who is making it her personal business to involve some government authorities to try to force everyone who is unvaccinated to get it.  This woman is a trouble-maker but has some support in her opinion of forced vaccination, so I don't know what will happen.  I call her and the others "the Coalition".  However, I don't know how she would be able to *prove* that anyone is unvaccinated without having access to their medical records *and* having signed HIPAA release from that person in order to give that information to some other authority.  SO, given those roadblocks, I believe those of us who believe in freedom at the office are still safe.  But it's still a really hostile environment with constant whispering and gossiping.  Every day.  It's like living in hell.  I only stay at the job because it pays the bills (pays well) and helps me support my family.  I'm trying to find something else that doesn't require the jab.

In addition to this, I've had some really bad luck over the past two months.  Personal things have happened that I don't want to say. 

It would mean so much to just have one person (in person, not online) who felt the same as me that I could talk to.  I did find a group of people near me who believe in medical freedom and I went to their recent meeting.  So, that is one good thing.  The stories of persecution there were awful.  Discrimination is alive and well.  One woman was bullied out of her workplace after her coworkers harassed her extensively after learning she was unvaccinated.  Another woman was forced to give birth wearing a face mask in the hospital.  Now the hospitals near me are all requiring visitors to be vaccinated.  So if my elderly parents get hospitalized, I am discriminated against and not allowed to visit, even though the vaccinated can still spread the disease themselves.  Even landlords are requiring it in some places.  So, the unvaccinated do not even have the right to live!

I am losing hope.  I really do not want to be part of society anymore.  I only stay part of it for my elderly parents.  Otherwise, I would sell everything, buy a van, and live in it. 
 
I feel most sad for Australians; I saw on the news they are requiring the unvaccinated to live in concentration camps like in Nazi Germany.  Even one of their congressmen is in the concentration camp!  The mainstream Australians have drank the Kool-Aid.  I think most Americans (including myself) have always seen Australians as the most rugged, self-reliant individualists in all of Western civilization.  It is so, so sad to see that whole country give up their right to their own body and violently (yes, abusively and violently) suppress all opposition.

@kingsalmon. There is private messaging on this website. We wouldn't post anything publicly. But your attitude is noted - if you go missing, no one will try to contact you or care about your whereabouts. Some friend.

It's my goal to be financially self-sufficient without the traditional "9-5" wage slave employment. 

It feels like I'm slowly being killed in my work environment; it's not contributing to my health in any way.  The atmosphere, the people, how I deal with it (by binging), etc.

Are any of you self-employed?  If so, what do you do?

I know there is a cost for having the freedom of working less - I'm not materialistic and I don't value the "fine" things in life (can't enjoy it while my health is deteriorating anyway!), so it doesn't matter to me if I am not "successful" according to those standards in society.  I just want enough money to afford to pay my taxes and necessities and otherwise be left alone.

I've tried selling on ebay but I've actually never sold one thing! 

Any ideas are appreciated.

Poppy, I just thought of something else. 

If you want to do better than coffee, maybe drink bone broth or something?  I've seen flavored collagen protein powder.  I know that's not primal because it's a processed food, but I've thought of doing this myself.  I have unflavored collagen powder but I haven't gotten into making my own drinks yet.  Maybe its something about being in dark/cold climate that makes me crave hot liquids in winter; probably the same for you guys in the Pacific Northwest.  The ones that live in California or other hot climates/tropical areas won't understand.  I think those of us that live in regions where it's dark/cold/rainy for months (winter) should be sleeping a lot more than modern civilization allows us because we are on a "clock" which is totally different from what our bodies need us to do.  I think we should sleep much longer and not have to be up so early in the morning in winter...

Hi sorgin. It sounds pretty complicated. I hope something works. I'm also concerned about parasites, especially since starting to eat ground beef. I feel safer if I eat the whole muscle meat. What do you think it was that gave you the parasites - were you also eating ground meat? I'm just curious. There are lots of things I'm trying to heal too

I know this is a political thread and should probably go in the "politics" subforum, but it's kind of a hot topic and Tyler isn't here anymore in order to moderate the political subforum anyway.

The first word is purposely spelled backwards.  I'm trying to avoid the webcrawlers, so try not to say the A word.  These are just my thoughts/feelings on it.

The migrants are going to be resettled near me, in NJ and Philly.  A guy at work has been called to duty for 30 days to help re-settle the migrants in NJ.  No news coverage of this, of course.  Keep the Americans in the dark, as usual.  I have read in the local news the migrants are going to be offered the jab but it isn't mandatory... meanwhile, the US military is mandated to take it as well as many guv employees and private businesses are mandating it.  That just rubs me the wrong way that they are given choices and better treatment than Americans already here/born here.  We cannot refuse unless we want to lose jobs, etc., but for them we must roll out the red carpet and bend over backwards...sorry, but I don't believe in anyone getting special treatment.  We are supposed to be equal.

I read that France will not be taking them into their country.  A lot of the European countries are still dealing with the massive influx of migrants from Syria that happened some years ago.  And I remember much of Europe was against this fight to begin with, when it started all those years ago.  I can't blame Europeans for disliking Americans... now they are being put in the middle of this.  I just feel like we are at a point where the only good thing we can do as a country is to become isolationist, to remove our involvement from the world and really focus on our own problems at home.  If we try to do good, we only wind up making things worse and having more countries hate us/dislike us.  So, better to not be involved anymore.  Stop fighting wars out of vengeance/revenge and only when it is for our actual defense.  I believe more and more the turning point that started it all was an engineered disaster to hasten the dominance of the NWO over all mankind and it's still continuing under the latest engineered disaster... 

Well, I'm having the same kind of experience I notice whenever I eat raw (which I need to be more disciplined in).  The same intestinal noises happen to me at night, even though I'm not hungry anymore. I feel really good (really peaceful mood) when I eat like this, so I don't think anything is wrong. Maybe the digestive juices are being revived after spending so long on cooked food.
