It says "We sell cage-free grass-fed beef raised to organic standards."  But it doesn't say anywhere 100% grass-fed.  So I suppose I have to call and ask.  But given that they mention corn/soy "feed", I'm sure the cattle are not entirely grass-fed, whatever they may say. 

Why can't people just be honest? 

I feel like I have to go to the ends of the earth to try to find quality meat.

Do you know how Sabertooth dry ages his meat?  Do you just keep it uncovered in the fridge?  I also have the "mood symptoms" of candida you mentioned.

Also, would this work if I used a meat that was previously frozen?  I finally found a grass-fed farmer about 1/2 hour away from me; however his meats are all frozen and I have to thaw them. 

I'm curious about peoples' opinions on drinking from natural water sources. 

Do you think that humans can adjust to any parasites/impurities that naturally occur in untreated water?  I'm thinking about giardia lamblia as an example.

I usually drink distilled water, but then there is the concern about the plastics leaching from the gallon jugs.  Who knows how long it has been stored in that container and at what temperature.  I also realize any distilled water or filtered water would be unnatural for our ancestors.  But I suppose the filters are necessary to keep out chlorine and who knows what else that is put in water today.

People used to drink from untreated streams and wells and springs all the time, right? 

@Sabertooth
From reading your post, I feel like you have almost a divine connection to nature.  How did you cultivate this?  I feel so often that I am not connected to anything, and yet it is what I want most of all. 

@PerfectHealth
I also think that there are things beyond food that are overlooked.  Like simply being happy with your life.  I feel like being happy is something difficult to achieve in Western society (not sure where you are from); we emphasize its pursuit and achieving goals.  This gives the mindset of always thinking about the future/planning and never thinking about right now where you are.  People who are unhappy will age faster.  I think this is a big component of why the people in "blue zones" live longer - not necessarily diet but their way of life is simpler and happier; their worth isn't determined by what they externally achieve and they seem to have less stress. 
I'd like to just leave my life sometimes and go live simply....

This may be a hot topic, I'm not sure.
I'm curious if anyone has any sources of information on reversing heart disease with a paleo diet containing meat. 
It seems there are a lot of stories coming out about veganism harming people, I have no doubt they are true.  But the one thing that a plant-based diet does help with is heart disease reversal.  People with heart disease have benefited from plant-based diets. 
I don't believe a vegan diet is natural, though. 
So I'm wondering, if someone has heart disease or symptoms of it, how would it be remedied on a meat-containing diet?  Are there stories of reversing it with the paleo diet?  When I say heart disease I don't mean the "little symptoms" like high blood pressure (which I think is easily remedied with a paleo diet); I mean arterioscloersis - hardening of the arteries/clogged arteries.  How does one reverse this without a plant-based diet?

I was reading an old blog post today on perfecthealthdiet.com and it said that its possible that all chronic diseases are potentially caused by infections.  So if heart disease is caused by a pathogen, then maybe the "paleo" answer would be to increase foods containing vitamins A and D because they help the immune system. 

Thoughts?

Hi,
I'm just wondering what are everyone's thoughts on the trend of not eating any plant foods.  It seems there are so many people now who are saying that carnivore is the "human" diet.  Maybe they are just being extreme; I'm sure humanity ate some plants.  What do you think of a mixed diet for healing, like the Terry Wahls protocol? 

Just wanted to add to the discussion that some believe copper is as important as calcium when it comes to bone strength.

There are studies on pubmed showing that copper is necessary for tooth and bone density, and a deficiency or inadequacy of copper leads to weaker bones.

One to read is "Copper deficit as a potential pathogenic factor of reduced bone mineral density and severe tooth wear," in Osteoporosis Int. 2014 Feb; 25(2) 447-54. PMID:
    23797848

Copper would be in liver and internal organs. 

Interesting to note, it says in the results section there was no difference in calcium level in enamel, only copper was low in the patients with severe tooth wear compared to controls.

That's inspiring.  I'd like to try living on my own in the woods, but it's different in a climate with four seasons and being a woman.  Also I hear the US Bureau of Land Management and the Park Service are cracking down on people who are using the wilderness for a residence...

It's more than that.  In a capitalist society, when you are born you don't even have the right to live.   

You are only allowed to live if you are a slave to someone else because you are not allowed to have food, water, clothing or shelter - they are owned and belong to other people and you have no right to them unless you "pay" for them.

All of our living is the "waste product of somebody else's mill" as Marge Piercy wrote.

What does the title mean?  I understand guerre means war, but what about the rest?

That could be.

I don't mean to be smart alec-y but all the people who ate organic, perfect food before there was industrialization also died.
It's just inevitable.
Some people die young, some people die old.  Some people eat crap and live a long time; while others eat perfect and get sick.
There's no fairness in life or guarantees of reward for good behavior.

You should read Albert Camus.  Everything is absurd.
