Do you worship the eating of meat?

It is tough to get away from. Western society has been programming us for this worship for almost 200 years.

Listen to a doctor spell out the history of how we were programmed to believe the necessity of “animal protein” and why that gets us in trouble with all kinds of diseases and then the parade of drugs to fix the symptoms.

He also gives a balanced explanation of the rare exceptions (genetic, etc.) to the multitude of science supporting plant based diet. He is also asked to comment on other health factors.

Rest in peace good doctor. Thanks for your story of how you recovered from your stroke, and your tireless showing me how to use those techniques to recover and improve my health after my strokes. Thank you for your legacy of the huge library of science based health information you have left for the world to improve their health.

Morning Smoothie

To avoid popcorn buds, small flimsy airy lightweight cannabis flowers that grow in the shade of the plant, I need to pick off the small under branches. Fresh cannabis as opposed to smoked cannabis is extremely rich in anti-inflammatories.

Ground up with my cannabis I will have mango, ginger, oranges, curcumin, acetal l-cysteine, blue green algae, turkey tail extract, red Reshi mushroom extract, turmeric powder and a little olive oil.

Since this is also my (first) breakfast, I added two pasture eggs . For fluid, I added sour cherry juice.

I'm editing this now after drinking most of it. Clear head and energized, I feel great.

Cannabis has no psychoactive effects [and many times the antiinflammatory effect] when fresh.

"Until her recent retirement at the age of 100, Betty Reid Soskin was the oldest living park ranger in the US National Park Service. She gave bi-weekly lectures at the Rosie the Riveter National Historic Park in Richmond, California, telling the story of the Bay Area’s pioneering role in desegregation. After one of her lectures, Betty agreed to be photographed. At first, she wanted to keep her trademark sunglasses on, then she relented and proceeded to look straight into the lens for the entire shoot. Afterwards, I watched her climb a flight of stairs faster than I could, which really gave me pause" // Photo by Frederic Aranda for the September 2022 issue of National Geographic Traveller

How to prepare for coming times #2

In Chinese medicine, there is a concept of Jing energy which is related to endurance. We in the West are deficient in Jing energy.

Jing is developed by adapting to extreme situations. Working in the hot sun, taking cold showers, plunges, ice baths, going without food, and exercising at or near maximum levels of exertion = all these things build Jing energy.

In another area, when we get sick, we take medicines. We don't allow our bodies to go through the process of defeating illness. As a result, our immune systems lack exercise and have become puny.

With houses, indoor work, air conditioning, and eating food all the time, our bodies have become babied and weak. Our levels of Jing energy are depleted. We are soft and weak.

To build Jing energy, practice high-intensity interval training HIIT. To do this, warm up well and then run as fast as you can for 30 seconds. Then walk for about 90 seconds - until your heart rate slows again. Then repeat this 4-6 times. Including the time warming up, this workout takes less than 20 minutes.

At the start, don't push too hard. Maximal exertion is something we are not accustomed to. When you run as fast as you can, something primal kicks in. Historically, the only time we run as fast as possible is in life-or-death situations of escape from danger.

Doing HIIT 1-2 times a week will, over 3-6 months' time, increases your natural production of human growth hormone by 500%! This sets up all sorts of biological adaptation mechanisms that make us lean and far more capable of survival.

How to prepare for times coming #1

Get used to and comfortable with going without food.

This eating all the time is killing us. Feast alternated with fast throughout most all of human history. Without periodic abstinence from eating, your body doesn't go into self-cleaning mode and instead stores up its waste... and that's not good.

Train your body to shift into keytone production when carbs are not available. It takes time to get used to buring fats for fuel instead of carbs.

When you don't eat and have used up your muscle and liver glycogen stores, your body transforms your stored fats into keytones.

And when you don't eat, your body will self-feed on worn out, malfunctioning, damaged, diseased, and pre-cancerous cells for fuel... if you will only stop eating a while (fasting really kicks in after 2 days - faster if you exercise hard and use up your glycogen.

Get the feel of keytone fuel in your brain with bullet-proof coffee - adding good butter and MCT (high coconut) oil blended in with some cream is best. I add Lion's Mane, Cordyceps et al.

If carbs are the gasolene of the body, keytones are high-octane gas. Brains work better on keytones.

After 2 days without food, your vision and hunting ability improves. Lean, mean, hunting machine. If your ancestors had not had this trait, you would not be here. You have it. Learn about it. Practice going without (do drink lots of water!) food and get to like it. That ability will serve you well. When times become dire and food is not there, this may well help you get through it with less suffering.

Many of those already adelpated by dementia speak clearly again minutes after imbibing MCT oil. It's worth a try. Even if you're not that far gone, you may like it. It kind of gives you the high and performance-enhancement that fasting generates. Thus its relevance to this story.

I like to give easy substitutes that may not resolve the problem but reduce the damage and suffering. If you like the MCT high, you may be motivated enough to try fasting and get it naturally.

Asking someone to give up ci******es is too big a chunk. Get them to eat an extra 25mg of vitamin C per cigarette to replace about as much as they are losing. It gives them something to do that improves their lot even though they are still doing things that are bad for them.

Do make plans, gather needed supplies, have all you need ready to move fast, and be ready to either bunker down or evacuate.

If you never need it, then we got off scot-free. Interruptions in food delivery can lead to desperate times. Our very lives could depend upon the self-, group-, and community efforts we may still have time to make.
