I suspect it has a lot to do with sexual selection as well as keeping warm and other uses. For example, paleo people could've used spare hair as pillows / stuffing / baby coat. Also: long hair can somewhat be used as dental floss.

Notice that not all races have head hair that grows very long. In most races it's only female hair that grows very long, and in some races, neither sex has hair that grows very long. For beards it's mainly just european men that can grow very long and lush beards. Arabs, asians, hindus and australian aborigins can to an extent grow a long beard and moustache, but much less so. Africans, american indians and eskimos can't.

Finally, all mammalian hair really grows forever, including all human body hair. It's just that it tends to fall off before it gets too long.

One other example: Cats and rats and to an extent other animals use long whiskers that project far out of the body, to sense the location of objects. Cats can drastically change the direction of whiskers and point them forwards to sense prey while in the middle of a pounce.

chewing, clawing and pulling, or using rocks, stones, sticks, bones, or any combination thereof to make tools that were then used to cut, chop, tear, rip, tenderize, grind...

I was corrected by someone... if you are a man and have impregnated 4 to 5 women... you are an amazing STUD. (I got my math wrong, sorry.)

All societies that became prosperous did so via the introduction of monogamy and nuclear family structures. That means, one man, one woman. What good is impregnating 5 women if all your kids grow up to be less successful, because you didn't have time to raise them well? Instead, have 5 kids with the same woman, and you have much better odds.

If you live in a backwards, socialist society that is based on stealing and leeching, it can temporarily make sense to play that game, but as soon as the society reverts to normalcy, that strategy is doomed, and so are those who have been taught to pursue it.

'Rosemary's Baby' - Mia Farrow eats a plate of raw liver out of the fridge  .  Grossed me out at the time, but now I almost do the same myself (light searing of the outside, for appearances sake, you understand.)

There's also multiple ocassions in the movie where there's references to her drinking raw egg smoothies, and one where she eats steak that's just seared 4-5 seconds on each side. It's not depicted in a good light in the movie, except perhaps some of the egg shakes.

It is important that we do not lump ourselves together with the whole MAGA/right wing extremist crowd. It would make us an unnecessary target for censorship.

Well, I've been a heavy Trump critic since I first learned who he was back in 2012. I'm certainly not part of the fake right wing MAGA crowd. To call MAGA right wing extremism is highly deceptive. The MAGA crowd is simply national socialism, which is a brand of socialism and very much a part of the radical left. Meanwhile the Harris crowd (Biden will be irrelevant) is simply communism, which is another brand of socialism and therefore also part of the radical left.

As a bonus, I don't worry about youtube/twitter/facebook blocking people they don't want on their platforms. What's worrying is when the State takes on that role, but far as private companies doing it, all you have to do is refuse to use their services.

I do like to find out who the big companies are blocking though, because I wanna find out who they are and why they've been blocked.

EDIT: It would be worrying however, if ISPs started blocking people too, based on ideology. While they are private companies, they often operate with state-granted oligopolies that forbid or heavily restrict anyone else from competing. It's true that Google / Facebook / Twitter have ever increasing alliances with ISPs that grant them benefits at the expense of their competitors. But thus far, the ISPs aren't going as far in terms of censorship, at least, not that I know of.

I don't remember charcoal being recommended. Are you sure you're not thinking about clay?

As far as I remember it was just a tablespoon with meals. Only for people who needed extra enzymes though.

It's actually up to 24 times more likely according to the data posted in that article.

Goes from 17.5 per 100,000 to as much as 1 in 240, which the article mistakenly claims is equal to 44 per 100k, but is actually 417 per 100k.

I never understood how embryos are even viable after freezing, but this is the first sign that some damage is likely done.

We'll have to wait and see to get an idea of full life expectancy from this procedure.

To you guys who have a more diplomatic tone, you guys have better appeal to the masses, or maybe just talk to our national leaders...

Please find a way to be able to communicate the concepts of what I am able to convey here in a way that they will listen, find a way for them to save face... realize that they were HOAXED in making irrational illogical lockdown decisions.

So that they may find a way to save their own faces and find a way of ENDING the LOCKDOWNs as soon as possible because extended lockdowns are far far worse which will result in mass starvation and grinding poverty of MILLIONS compared to the statistically manipulated hoax deaths with hoax projections.

Unfortunately it seems everyone is falling in line and supporting whatever their governments say they must support, often attacking anyone who even suggests a different approach.

If we haven't been successful in teaching the masses or convincing enough influential people of the unquestionable benefits of free market capitalism, and of the terrible dangers of totalitarian socialist government regimes, before they decided to go ahead with this global pandemic hoax, there is little chance of getting anywhere now that we are here.

The lockdowns have nothing to do with the virus, they are there to give governments massive power and control over everyone and everything.

Most dissenters are just now waking up to the reality that powerful governments are the single greatest threat to their physical and emotional wellbeing. Well now it's probably too late.

We are living in the worst time in human history regarding the unchained, oppressive and destructive power of the state, and even if and when this lockdown craze subsides, and for those who manage to survive it, there won't be a back to normal after that. The new normal is in, and in the new normal, the government can do whatever it wants to whomever it wants, there are no restrictions anymore, and everybody just claps like trained seals.

Inger,

First of all, I think you are a very experienced and knowledgeable individual in the raw paleo lifestyle. I admire your courage in not being swayed by popular belief and in openly sharing a lifestyle that most think is dangerous to yourself and, to an extent, to those around you. Watching your videos and reading your posts always inspires me to continue pursuing this lifestyle, and your cheerful attitude often brings me joy on sad days.

However, I think here you may have been getting all worked up over something which may not even be an issue.

There are many reasons why a blood iron test can come up high, the main reason being if your diet is high in available iron, which it is. The question is not just about how much you absorb though, but how much your body stores and how much it eliminates, and why. It could be that your body has issues eliminating iron, but so far you seem to have little or no evidence that this is the case, other than a suspicion based not on real experience but on a lab test that could mean many things - and which even the doctors have no concerns about.

Some of your solutions to the problem seem fine and well - more seafood, less red meat could certainly be what's best for you.

I'm skeptical of the green tea being of help - this in effect works by impairing your digestion. Even if it works for the intended purpose, there are many side-effects of impairing digestion like that. Now if you enjoy green tea with your meals, and don't want to give it up, or perhaps you need the caffeine boost or want something warm to drink, that's another matter altogether, and I'm sure you can be healthy while including it. But to include it for health reasons seems counter-intuitive.

About blood donations, if you are doing this for humanitarian issues, that's fine and well. But to do this as a health practice seems bizarre to me. When you are injured and blood comes out, it hurts. Blood is designed to clot on contact with air so as to close the wound as soon as possible. Can you imagine paleo people willingly bleeding themselves on purpose and for enjoyment or as a form of medical practice? Bloodletting only came about in an age where most people were eating a very unnatural diet, based on grains, which would actually promote anemia. Even if bloodletting was an effective method for reducing iron in the blood, this would only be necessary if your body has a problem eliminating iron, since elimination is what you're doing. However, it seems to me that creating new blood, with the great nutritional and building requirements it has, simply for the sake of eliminating iron, puts a big strain on your body, and I believe it could in fact be much more likely to age you quickly. We know that things that destroy blood cells (as well as other cells), such as alcohol consumption, age us faster. Here you are technically destroying (or rather, eliminating) blood cells on purpose. While you don't have to deal with the cleanup of dead cells that would result from heavy alcohol consumption, you do have to deal with the big task of constantly replenishing your blood supply. Finally, all of that new blood requires iron to make. So when you do that, your body is more likely to hold on to iron. I would worry that continually doing this would set your body up for iron retention.

You said that you might have a genetic mutation for increased iron intake. When do you suppose this mutation came about? Scandinavian people aren't particularly known for a heavy grain dependence, since little grain can be grown there. If anything we would expect to find this mutation in people who relied heavily on grains and thus needed such increased iron absorption - therefore it would be most likely present mainly in people from northeast asia, and to a lesser extent india, the middle east and europe and central and south america.

About the vaccuum cleaning, it could simply be the EMF like you mentioned, or more likely still, the air you are breathing. House dust is not the same as dirt in nature. House dust is full of toxic elements that come off the walls, off all kinds of plastic and treated wood and paper; particles from all sorts of aerosol sprays including deodorant and even poison (bug spray), soaps and detergents and other chemicals used in cleaning, etc. When you vaccuum a house, many of those chemical toxins end up in your lungs, nostrils and general respiratory tract, as well as on your skin and your eyes. They are then absorbed to your bloodstream and your liver and kidneys have to process many of them. Perhaps you could wear a cottonmask for blocking some of the dust you breathe in while doing this task, and see if it improves the issue. If it does, you could also add protective goggles and clothes that expose as little skin as possible, and avoiding makeup (which can make the dust stick to your skin more easily)

As a side issue, I'm curious as to where you are sourcing your raw coconut oil, since almost all coconut oils are actually cooked, even if they say they're not.

Dried beef is normally called beef jerky, kelpguy. Great description and tips. What you did should be called heart jerky. Another option for drying and storing meat is traditional salami, although that usually calls for enormous amounts of salt.

Jerky is definitely an option for long-term storage of food, although I doubt that consuming dried food as a staple of our diets is the best for our health; but it's definitely better than starving, or having to rely on vegan foods that store well, like grains, nuts and seeds.

Honey and cheese are other good options for animal-based foods that store very well.

The way I understand this with my very basic chemistry knowledge, is that most substances are either water soluble, or fat soluble. If they're water soluble, it's generally easier for our bodies to get rid of them. When they are fat soluble, they tend to stick around more, and it's generally accepted in the mainstream medical community, that fat soluble toxins tend to accumulate in fatty tissues.

AV's idea regarding combining starch with fats to remove toxins, was that they would combine to form a kind of internal soap, for loosening and safely carrying away toxins.

I agree with you! I really didn't want to make another post but I had to. Have you tried raw chicken liver or heart though?

I have, many many times and it's by far the best parts. I haven't had them as a meal in themselves though, since they are so small and each bird naturally only comes with one, I only had them as small side dishes to a chicken meal.
