A very recent study claimed that coconut oil is “pure poison”. Great! I use only coconut oil and olive oil. I can’t wait to discover that olive oil causes Austrian dicks to fall off at age 66.
So, I vowed to myself that I will never post another food article. It’s ALL bullshit. Total and complete bullshit. Scientists don’t know fukshit about how food works and interacts with the human body. There are too many variables, thousands and thousands of them.
I wish I could delete all the food articles I’ve ever written (but, not my mighty fine recipes). I am throwing away all my books about food. It’s all bullshit.
Here’s my only food advice I’ll ever give again. If you follow these two simple rules you will live to 100, disease free, and will never have to read another piece-of-shit food article again. And your dick won’t fall off.
— 1) Eat single ingredient foods (apple, steak, carrot, spinach, egg, etc.) — they are ALL good for you.
— 2) Don’t eat any processed foods, or foods with any chemical name in them.
Below is the article that prompted my mini-rant. New study. BIG study, one million people. I never paid attention to cholesterol. It has never been an issue with anyone in my family … and we were huge eaters of cheese, eggs, meat, more meat, etc.
However, maybe some of you folks here do battle it. Well, don’t worry about it!!!!! Eat as many fucken eggs as you want. It’s GOOOOOOD for you!!!

New Research Confirms We Got Cholesterol All Wrong
The U.S. government has pushed a lot of bad nutrition advice over the years. Maybe it should stop advising us on what to eat.
A comprehensive new study on cholesterol, based on results from more than a million patients, could help upend decades of government advice about diet, nutrition, health, prevention, and medication. Just don’t hold your breath.
The study, published in the Expert Review of Clinical Pharmacology, centers on statins, a class of drugs used to lower levels of LDL-C, the so-called “bad” cholesterol, in the human body. According to the study, statins are pointless for most people.
“No evidence exists to prove that having high levels of bad cholesterol causes heart disease, leading physicians have claimed” in the study, reports the Daily Mail. The Express likewise says the new study finds “no evidence that high levels of ‘bad’ cholesterol cause heart disease.”
The study also reports that “heart attack patients were shown to have lower than normal cholesterol levels of LDL-C” and that older people with higher levels of bad cholesterol tend to live longer than those with lower levels.
This is probably news to many in government. But it’s not news to everyone.
“In fact researchers have known for decades from nutrition studies that LDL-C is not strongly correlated with cardiac risk,” says Nina Teicholz, an investigative journalist and author of The New York Times bestseller The Big Fat Surprise (along with a great recent Wall St. Journal op-ed highlighting ongoing flaws in federal dietary advice). In an email to me this week, she pointed out that “physicians continue focusing on LDL-C in part because they have drugs to lower it. Doctors are driven by incentives to prescribe pills for nutrition-related diseases rather than better nutrition—a far healthier and more natural approach.”
Cholesterol in our diets comes from animals and animal products—including eggs, meat, fish, and dairy. The government told us for decades that these foods were, to varying degrees, dangerous.
Federal dietary policy is shaped by the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC), which meets every five years to update its findings. The government touts the DGAC and the dietary guidelines it develops as “an important resource to help our Nation reach its highest standard of health.”
The federal government’s war on cholesterol, as early DGAC recommendations suggest, dates back decades. For example, the 1995 DGAC report stressed the dangers of dietary cholesterol.
“Most people are aware that high levels of saturated fat and cholesterol in the diet are linked to increased blood cholesterol levels and a greater risk for heart disease,” it declares. “Choosing foods with less cholesterol and saturated fat will help lower your blood cholesterol levels.”
Only in 2015 did federal dietary guidelines (mostly) halt the assault on cholesterol. Many hailed the news, while still stressing that high cholesterol levels in our bloodstreams is still a danger.
“There’s a growing consensus among nutrition scientists that cholesterol in food has little effect on the amount of cholesterol in the bloodstream,” a Harvard Medical School blog post noted that same year. “And that’s the cholesterol that matters.”
“The government’s new stance on dietary cholesterol is in line with that of other nations, which do not single out cholesterol as an issue,” the Washington Post reported following the release of the most recent dietary guidelines in 2016. “Yet it should not be confused with officials’ continued warning about high levels of ‘bad’ cholesterol in the blood—something that has been clearly linked to heart disease.”
But this most recent study is throwing cold water on many of those continued government warnings about blood cholesterol.
What’s more, if bad cholesterol isn’t so bad, then the benefits of so-called good cholesterol are also under assault. Recently, *HDL, the so-called “good” cholesterol, was itself deemed suspect in some cases.
Dietary fat also appears not to be the danger the government says it is. Another new study, reported on by Ron Bailey this week, suggests, as he writes, that the federal government’s warnings to avoid dairy products that are high in fat “is bunk.”
I’m not a nutritionist. I don’t know if the science on cholesterol is settled. But the federal government has warned us for decades about cholesterol in our bodies and in our food. The fact those warnings are now changing means the government has, despite what I’m sure are the good intentions of everyone involved, been handing out poor dietary advice and developing regulations that reflect that poor advice.
I’m one of many who has called out the DGAC and the federal government for foisting “decades of confusing and often-contradictory dietary advice” upon the American public. I also suggested, in a column last year, that one way the government might back up its claims to possess invaluable and unparalleled expertise in the areas of food policy and nutrition would be stop regularly reversing or altering its recommendations.
“The reason that we don’t know about these huge reversals in dietary advice is that the nutrition establishment is apparently loathe to make public their major reversals in policy,” Teicholz says. “The low-fat diet is another example: neither the AHA or the dietary guidelines recommend a low-fat diet anymore. But they have yet to announce this to the American public. And some in the establishment are still fighting to retain the low-fat status quo.”
I am not your doctor, nor your nutritionist. I have no idea what you should eat. Maybe the government should adopt that mantra, too.
http://reason.com/archives/2018/09/22/new-research-confirms-we-got-cholesterol
Let’s see, if I can sell a gazillion dollars worth of statin drugs, actually harming peoples’ health, by twisting the research conclusions and getting my government shills to help in return for campaign contributions and “research” dollars, should I do it?
Too many fortunes have been made this way.
Amen, Zach!
amazing to think that some people believe that the government is concerned about your health
Holy cow, yes… if the gov says to do something, seriously consider doing the opposite (or find out what their power play is)
Studies say ……. whatever the person who pays for the study wants it to say.
When I was a kid we had TV Time popcorn. One side of the plastic packet was the corn – and the other side was the shortening – 100% coconut oil. Try this stuff, and you’ll never again buy that microwave shit.
Stuck, anyone with half a brain and who can read could have figured this out long ago. 25% of our total cholesterol is located in the brain. We need it to heal wounds and make hormones. That’s why people who take statins often end up with brain dysfunction (and I often wonder about the rise in Alzheimers and Parkinsons and the massive rise in prescriptions for statin drugs).
Cholesterol never was the problem. It’s triglycerides. And if you have high triglycerides, you probably have type 2 diabetes, are overweight, high blood pressure, etc. The simple correlation here is THE CRAP FOOD. High intake of sugar, which Americans eat 180 POUNDS of sugar per year. That’s way too much sugar, and it causes inflammation, poor gut health, fatty liver, and yes, high triglycerides. Not to mention insulin resistance. Fat is not the problem. SUGAR. We don’t need to eat that much of it, ever. It’s actually poison at these levels, and then throw artificial sweeteners into the mix which are even worse, and voila, you have the epidemic obesity rates, heart disease, and everything else that goes with it.
And you are right on the money with eating simple, whole foods. Know where your food comes from, what’s in it, and how it’s prepared and your already ahead of the game.
Both of my parents are in their 70’s, on no meds. They eat very little sugar, don’t smoke, and get exercise. My dad forgoes red meat now, but he just feels better without it.
My mother’s doctor calls her a “risk taker” because she won’t take statins or have yearly mammograms (duh, radiation) yet she’s her healthiest patient.
They have all their teeth, can see just fine. No arthritis or hip pain.
Your body is an engine, and if you put crap gas in it, it will run like shit, break down, and need constant repairs.
“Medicine” in this country is all about the profit of the drug companies, and no one wants to tell two ton susie or Fred that the reason why they are sick all the time is because they sit on their ass all day and eat garbage. The docs would rather write a script and send these whiny babies on their way, which will generate more money for the additional drugs they will now need for all the side effects the original drugs caused, more tests, more hospital stays, as they slowly deteriorate like toilet paper in the rain.
You are absolutely correct, Realestatepup.
As long as pizza is a ‘single ingredient food’, I’m good. I mean it’s just ‘pizza’, right – singular?
Congress has declared pizza is a vegetable.

beer too ?
Gawddammit stuckenzedoitch,
I’ve been using coconut oil and putting banana peels in my shakes ever since you commended me to.
Stucky is onto something!
A fellow named Dr. Donsbach taught nutrition classes in the seventies and told his students about the “cholesterol myth.” He fled the country as the establishment went after him with pitchforks. Pretty widely known now that pastured chickens lay eggs you can eat every day and that the majority of calories should be from good fats like you get from avocados, coconut and olive oil, eggs, grass-fed meats, raw milk from grass-fed cows (make kefir for your gut), butter from grass-fed cows, wild-caught salmon, and deep-fried apple fritters once a week.
I’m all in favor of wild-caught Salmon, as long as it’s caught in the Atlantic. The Northern Pacific, including Alaska, China, Vietnam, Cambodia, Japan, and even Western Canada and Western USA are chock full-o-Fukushima meltdown products. Cesium 134, 137, Strontium 90. Heck, even some California wines have been shown to have Cesium 134. 134 has a half-life of slightly more than 2 years, meaning that after 6 years the original amount will have decreased to 1/8th what it was at the beginning. This means that any Cesium 134 in the environment is RECENT.
Cesium 137 has a half-life of 30 years. All Cesium mimics Potassium in your body and will freely go wherever a Potassium atom is supposed to be.
Strontium 90 is another byproduct of nuclear reactions inside (or underneath) a reactor, and it has a half life of 28 years. It mimics Calcium in the body.
So, if you ingest any of these, your heart and other muscles will have radioactive Cesium in them, and your bones will have radioactive Strontium in them. Wait 10 years, and your chances of cancer become greater than otherwise.
Fukushima is not in the news any more, but it is still spewing millions of gallons of highly radioactive water into the Pacific on a regular basis.
Wild-caught Alaska Salmon used to be healthy. IMHO, now it is anything but.
Cesium 134, 137, Strontium 90 – makes for more spicy sushi.
In Japan, pregnant women will eat up to 12 eggs a day to make sure their babies are getting enough Vitamin D, ensuring good eyesight and hearing.
If you use olive oil, it should never be heated. It should only be used cold or at room temperature.
Coconut oil can safety be heated, even at high temperatures. And, yes, lard, from naturally raised pigs, can also safely be used for cooking, just as it has been used since the beginning of time before man started screwing with it.
Good one. Actually, there are studies showing that people with high cholesterol live longer…
People with high cholesterol have better functioning livers. Your liver makes 70% of the cholesterol in your body, it is not from food that the majority comes from. Your brain NEEDS cholesterol, your liver makes it. My ex mother in law ( died of a heart attack) was on Statins. I told her,” Want to reduce your cholesterol? Donate half of your liver” Didn’t go over well. Fortunately, she died of a heart attack in the airport on her way to see me. For which I was blamed of course.
I think it was deliberate. They want our brains to starve. I never paid it no mind but I never had a cholesterol problem to begin with.
Wasn’t there an idea floated around to put statins in drinking water. Goes well with the fluoride that also shrinks your brain power.
I agree, avoid all processed foods, including sugar. It’s really easy to do, once you get used to it.
MC- I think perhaps you have made a very good point as to the why and what fors of cholesterol. God forbid they put any more crap in the water supply but would not put it past these f’n Nazis. Anyways, you and Jimmy T have given a clue about this dietary lie.
My continuing thanks, Stucky, for your contributions to my life. I have my three year heart attack and stent placement – follow up with my cardiologist next month. He is a statin man in his veins and arteries. Smartly educated at Stanford and a personal student of the man who won a Nobel for his statin research. I will print this out for his perusal. I hit him last year with research from Dr. David Diamond which was coolly received. He said he would read what I gave him. I am curious to see if he has changed his tune.
I followed doctor’s orders for a spell, taking my statin. And subsequently my blood sugar level was elevated. I had the first dental decay in decades while I was on it. Also I was labeled slightly anemic. Both went away after I stopped the statins.
Here is one viddy of Dr. Diamond’s, of the many that are available on youtube.
K S, look into red rice yeast instead of statins.
M C
I’ve been doing the keto diet for 4 months now, lost 25 pounds and lowered blood pressure by 5 points. I tell people my target weight is 160Lbs at 6′ tall and they say that’s too thin and unhealthy, coming from the fat fucks, I just laugh and walk away.
Don’t throw away that coconut oil! It’s still good for you and was and is another food condemned by the federal health “authorities”. But, yeah, eat lots of cholesterol-containing foods. We need cholesterol to produce sex hormones, among other things (the “sterol” part of the word is the root of “steroids”). I wish I could remember who to give credit to, but I read an excellent article a while back by a physician who explained that cholesterol is sent by the body to try to help deal with arterial plaque among other things, which is why its presence correlates with clogged arteries. Attempts to reduce cholesterol is like shooting the firemen who show up to put out a fire.
As far as fessing up to being wrong, everybody here knows fedgov lies about everything. What about all the dire warnings about what would happen if states decriminalized marijuana use? Nope, no apologies there either and pot is still a Schedule I drug to make it easy for cops to steal people’s shit and ruin their lives.
Great comment, Pup.
Total cholesterol score can be flawed w spikes LDL, via junk food. HDL=good fats. Nuts, avocados, EVOO, are but 3.
Also repertedly cancer cells thrive on excess sugar. Avoid it. Use honey, are raw cane sugar, if needed.
Other blood markers to pay attention to: Triglycerides, C-reactive protein, a marker that indicates inflammation.
There’s also a marker for genetically flawed people at risk to massive heart attacks, even with low cholesterol, low body mass index, physically fit athletes. Can’t remember it, tho.
Another BS gubmint push was for grains consumption mostly, at the bottom of the old food pyramid they put forth. Why? Big Agra lobby. Grains were cheap, abundant, and are now GMOs.
Statins are poison. But, yes, easy quick treatment protocol.
Follow the money. Yet again.
Butter? No! they shouted.
Margarine is one molecule removed from plastic. Toxic.
Salt? No! they shouted. BS!
A good sea salt, harvested from the oceans, contains minerals that can’t be found in food or Agra produce. And minerals are as vital as vitamins, which are mostly junk. Lab produced from chemical compounds. The good quality ones are food based, cold processed, and a bit pricey. Standard Process is one brand. Food Research, too, from grass fed animals in New Zealand.
When consumed, as supplements, they won’t turn your piss neon yellow, either.
Old advice dies hard.
Mainstream Docs mostly follow the old advice. The new ones don’t know the latest nutritional discoveries. They don’t RRSEARCH. They work through treating patients as quickly as possible. It’s the new system requirements, with the Rx pad their go-to treatment, besides dangerous tests and unnecessary operations.
Nutrient deficiency is a plague.
The soils of N. America farm fields contain much less nutrient makeup, than from years past.
So even modern fruits and veggies don’t pack the same punch they used to, say in the 30’s.
Organics are runts and expensive as hell, but better than processed, ready to eat garbage.
I look forward to hearing from HSF on this.
To our health…
Cheers!
“A good sea salt, harvested from the oceans, contains minerals that can’t be found in food or Agra produce.”
Lgr, you give wise consult however I have come to avoid sea salt as the oceans are filled with tons of plastic slowly breaking down. I have taken to using mined salt from ancient underground reservoirs.
Post a source, KS. I’m intrigued.
The documentation of plastics in the ocean is monumental. Just do a search of plastics in oceans.
Here is one pertaining to sea salt.https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2017/10/04/sea-salt-contains-plastic-fragments.aspx
Himalayan salt is commonly available.
I once took a tour of the salt mines in Salzburg Germany, which has been mined for 7000 years.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hallein_Salt_Mine
“I once took a tour of the salt mines in Salzburg Germany, which has been mined for 7000 years.”
The salt mines are NEAR Salzburg.
Hallein is the bigger town at the base of the mountain. One takes the cable car to the top of the mountain, to a village named Durnberg, where the entrance to the salt mine is.
I know this because while I was born in Salzburg, we lived in Durnberg. My uncle worked at, and then ran, the saltmine (as a tourist spot) and nearby spa for almost 40 years.
We left Durnberg when I was about 4 years old, and I made my first return with my parents when I was 17. So … you took the tour. So …. you can understand my reaction and comment I made to my parents one day there; —- “YOU LEFT DURNBERG TO MOVE TO NEWARK NEW JERSEY??? WHAT THE FUCK WAS WRONG WITH YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Vielen Dank für die clairifizierung.
Here is another info graphic. As a pelagic fisherman I am keenly aware of it.https://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2018/06/plastic-planet-waste-pollution-trash-crisis/
When Fukushima happened, I ordered two 50 lb bags of North Atlantic sea salt. Am so glad I did! I like some of the Himalayan Chrystal salts, but really… one can’t be too careful about the salt we eat.
Wise you are, as usual. I have been considering stocking bulk salt, to possibly preserve the plentiful fish out my back door. My grandmother, named Maggie, would put up salted mullet my grand father would bring back from the coast.
We cured some deer with some of the sea salt… just to “see.”
It was delish. I am building a fish pond and plan to stock it with tilapia. I wonder if that dries and salts well?
Salina-Turda Salt Mine in Turda, Romania
Good advice, KeyserSusie. When I started stockpiling food, the first thing I bought was a lot of Himalayan pink sea salt. I still have it stored for when the SHTF. If the fridge goes out, I can salt and dry what I can and eat whatever I can before the rest spoils, not to mention salting and drying whatever I can catch afterwards.
I suspect there are many “micro-nutrients” and trace minerals stripped from our soils from decades of mechanized farming. Even the “organic” label really doesn’t guarantee you much except that the farmer has paid the fee to the federal government to be able to use the “organic” label.
I learned a lot about why seed to soil to harvest is such a vital process to understand when I studied the chemistry around the essential oil craze a few years ago.
This book is a seriously hard science read, but it was written by a local dude here in the Ozarks. His wife is still living, surviving stage 4 cancer reportedly by treatment at Gary Young’s clinic in Central America.
http://www.thewholedog.org/WhyEssentialOilsHealandDrugsDont.pdf
I use oils but I don’t eat them like some of these quacks so. I like the aroma and some of them actually make skin and muscle feel really good. Really good.
But, the whole principle of the essential oils industry is that the plant matter distills down into all the nutrients and phytonutrients (whatever) and enzymes and et cetera. So, the distilled product has all this wonderful nutrition that you can get through your pores! Just like that.
I don’t know if that shit is true, but my home smells freaking amazing all the time.
For those with cancer, Frankincense and Turmeric are the best essential oils out there. Rub it daily on the area of the body where the cancer is located. Be aware that natural medicine takes time. It may take three years to completely heal, but it will heal. Those with cancer may also want to research castor oil packs.
Known this for years. Like gluten craze.
Research is now coming out that gluten problems are actually poisoning from pesticides being sprayed on crops prior to harvest. I suggested using sprouted or natural yeast breads, organic, raised without pesticides or insecticides.
I’ve become such a cynic.
Everything gets put through the sieve.
“Beware the man that’s always trying to sell you something, even (especially) if he offers the goods for free.”
I had fairly high cholesterol (230-ish) and doctors have been trying to get me to take the statins for years. Good diet and exercise didn’t help so I tried the statin 10-12 years ago and it helped to get it down just under 200. I felt better when I didn’t take them so I quit. Last year doc insisted that I should take it when it got back up so I did and it came back down but now by blood sugar is up.
I think as Zach says, it is all about big pharma that gets this crap pushed big time for the almighty $$. I also read that it does have an effect on memory functions and I would have to agree so I am not taking that crap anymore. I’m 64, 6 foot and carry around 170 and generally in good health, so I think it’s better to take my chances than any crap drugs.
I don’t know how many of you may remember this, but back in the 80s or 90s they boasted that statin drugs reduced heart attack rates by 50%. There were even predictions that we were bringing an end to heart attacks altogether, thanks to the miracle of statins. The only problem? They failed to reveal that the “study” showed that post-heart attack statin drugs reduced the reoccurrence to 0.8% from 1.2%. Hence the 50% reduction. See how lying works?
I stopped going to my primary care physician when he tried to shill me onto statins because my cholesterol was a modest 210 or so. This level, along with low basal body temperature, was known in the 1930s as indicative of low thyroid function. Which I have. But those tests were also skewed by fake medicine to limit the number of folks diagnosed with low thyroid, so they could be “treated” for all of the issues associated with that condition. Lying, once again.
Zach, that’s interesting. I have similar cholesterol and low basel temp. It took a naturopath to discover I had thyroid issues.
Dried kelp capsules are good for low thyroid.
Be aware that as you age, generally, your cholesterol levels will go up.
That’s also true for blood pressure. Dr. Thomas S. Cowan wrote an article on how to tell what your blood pressure should be based on age.
Eggs are a better flu prevention than the flu vaccine.
Very interesting article about eggs. Thanks for the link
I was plagued with chronic colds and upper respiratory chest infections my entire life until I discovered Colloidal Silver. Have not had either since I started using it…not one, 4 years! When my wife saw the results she started using it and she hasn’t had a cold in 3 years.
It takes a Shingles break out normally from 5 to 7 days down to 2- to 3. Taken eternally and dabbed on the breakout.
Cuts a cold sore time by the same ratio.
https://draxe.com/colloidal-silver-benefits/
Cold/Flu
Some claim that colloidal silver helps prevent all types of flu, including swine flu, as well as the common cold.
Few studies have been done to test this clinically, but in 2011 the NIH took 100 children under the age of 12 suffering from the common cold and nasal congestion and assigned them into two groups; the first group was treated with a solution of colloidal silver and beta glucan, and the second group with saline solution. Even though both groups benefited from the treatment, 90% of the people in the colloidal silver group completely recovered!
This is the best book I have found about Colloidal Silver:
Everything You Need To Know About Colloidal Silver
You take colloidal silver eternally? Like, forever? Wow.
Seriously though, Dr. Axe is a fucking fraud.
And have fun looking like Papa Smurf.
Here are some insights for the uninformed:

I tried to order some of those colloidal silver infused sponges my nurses get me for my wound and they cost $1100 for a box of a dozen. So, the uninformed don’t realize that big pharma has found a way to ride on the silver bandwagon and not tell anyone.
I decided to make my own again.

Maggie,
I don’t have any personal experience with the infused sponges. Have you tried this site?
Mark… great link.
I found the sponges… at least very similar. $589 for a box of ten. Wow. At least the pharmacy balked at $1100. I already balked.
I found a box of FIVE for $389

Maggie, these are the Colloidal Silver products I use. It’s called Active Silver.
https://active-silver.co.uk/
Am hoping… ah… the ordering of colloidal silver from Europe? That might be fascinating.
Actually, there is a dude local who makes his own tinctures, oils and gels. I noticed an interesting section at the Amish Market last visit and I think I saw some homemade lotions and soaps.
I appreciate the link and the effort.
I don’t take Colloidal Silver daily, only if I have a problem. I use a healthy diet to control my health though.
In the 70’s we were taught to use silver nitrate on aphthous and herpetic lesions in the mouth. Fever blisters and cold sores. Different etiology but similar in appearance.
When babies are born, silver nitrate is applied to their eyes to stop infections that may have been caused after the water broke and they went through the delivery.
I agree with you on Colloidal Silver.
When I got shingles, I didn’t know about Colloidal Silver. I took St. John’s Wart. Took water and Organic Apple Cider vinegar baths with lots of vinegar. (Used Bragg’s vinegar.) Since the shingles covered my upper arm, upper chest, breast and back, I soaked a tight shirt in pure vinegar and wore that for a while, which helped the stinging pain. After I removed the shirt, I applied Calamine lotion, which stopped the itching. After I started this treatment, the blisters dried up within a day and the pain was removed. I was slow to get started in treatment because I didn’t know what it was before my mother told me. Then I had to do the research.
A low sodium diet increases risk for heart disease and osteoporosis. It also raises your insulin and triglyceride levels while lowering your magnesium and calcium levels, and also increases your chances of developing insulin resistance.
Grizzly, you are correct. And only mineral-rich natural sea salts, such as Himalayan, should be used.
When Ernest Borgnine was 91 and asked to what he attributed his longevity, he answered, “I masturbate a lot”. He lived to be 95.
I am not active on the page right now, Stucky, but when I get a little notice you’ve posted something I make a note to take a look see.
Your two rules are top notch. I would add one… fasting is actually very good for your metabolism when it is done correctly. Before anyone asks… do your own fucking research. I’ve lost an enormous amount of weight and my blood pressure and cholesterol and et cetera are all in the range of my early Air Force years. If it wasn’t for this wound (healing nicely, but slowly without the wound vacuum) I’d be hauling ass down the road with that old lady down the way.
Processed foods were probably part of the discussion at Jeckyll Island. The Rothschild dude looked at the Morgan dude who conferred with the Queen’s counselor and so on. They all wanted to know who would be so stupid as to pay them to loan them their own money.
Perhaps a guy there in the room was named Bayer and was in charge of a big chemical company in Germany, soon to parent Monsanto. In fact, I think mechanized farming to get people used to eating processed foods was very much part of the discussion.
But, that may just be because we are fucking sustainable now and that fucking rocks! I’m also skinny and one hot Momma again.
By the way, to celebrate our 26th wedding anniversary today. YES. Today! I turned my hair purple. No shit. It was a real dumbshit. I wanted to add some color and I found this box of hair color I’d bought off a clearance rack WHO KNOWS WHEN. It was Clairol and color was Very, Very Auburn.
I now have purple hair and Nick says my stage name should be Magenta. Once this wound heals and I get back into pole dancing shape, I’ll let you know.
Have a lovely day, Stucky. The little brown goat has moved on… and when I say “moved on?” He’s moved a mile away to breed another little female who is not his freaking sister! Simon is on the menu for the Hootenanny.
It is deer season in flyover world. A fabulous time of year.
You add spice to this site.
Magenta hair must be a new fad. Two of the few women I interact with frequently, the clerk at the corner redneck bodega and the Wiccan teller at my bank have both gone dark reddish/deep purple up top on their coif.
Congrats on 26 years my dear.
Thanks. I have been sick a lot. Really, Nick and I had a very frank discussion about all the surgeries and recoveries I’ve been through. It has been a long haul for him since he agreed to the sickness and in health clause.
He’s a stand-up sort of guy, though. I’d stake my life on him. And his fine son.
I am so glad I returned to this… thanks for posting this link. WIP? did you post this? I knew the Jeckyll Island meeting must have included plans for getting the underclasses all hooked on drugs and processed foods.

I’ve watched that before. Very good video.
Maggie, Dr. Mercola has a good book out called “Fat is Fuel” which covers fasting as well. Basically, he says you should only eat within about an 8-hour time span during the day, example, 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m., your choice of the times. The rest of the time, you should fast. Next day, same thing.
Good advice Stucky !!
I have a request please. I am very interested in the diet of Mamma Stucky and your father over their lifetime. The longevity didn’t come from eating bad food or living a undisciplined life. What did they eat and drink in their younger days?
Eat mo’ eggs !!
My freaking Family of Families dude sent me a “how to” guide on dehydrating eggs. He says he has many dozens of eggs freeze-dried and sealed in cans for TEOTWAWKI.
I’m sorry, but if I can’t keep a few chickens alive to lay eggs, I’m not going to eat dried eggs for more than a few days.
If at all. Bleh.
Agnes- I have had that type of eggs, not horrid but not like a fresh egg. Most people I know freeze eggs when they just have more egg production than they can consume/sell/give away.
I have frozen a few eggs. Even have pickled them in jars (you know how I love to pressure can!) However, freeze drying them for survival is not on my short list.
“I am very interested in the diet of Mamma Stucky and your father over their lifetime.”
Actually, my 2-point advice I now give comes directly from observing/living with mama and papa.
Mama Was a Single Ingredient Cooker; We had a very German diet, even in America;
— 1) lots of meats, especially pork products — dad HAD to have meat for lunch and dinner every day of his life
— 2) fish and chicken only a few times times a month
–3) lots of veggies especially various cabbages and tons of potatoes
–4) fruit every day
–5) we went through 2-3 POUNDS of various cheeses a week.
— 6) lots of of rye bread and butter, and other flour based products, like spaetzle
–7) some kind of cake and/or cookies (almost always made by mom) with coffee every single evening while watching the 10:00PM news.
We NEVER ate out. Mom never never never never ever bought anything processed or in a box. Ever. Everything was single ingredient and made from scratch.
What did we drink? Beer … both mom and dad had three beers (1 for lunch, two for dinner) pretty much every day of their life. Me too. I was served a glass of beer for dinner starting when I was five. Water, wine, apple juice, and iced tea were pretty much the only other things in the house.
There ya go.
One other thing. Neither of my parents ever exercised. Seriously. Mom and dad said their exercise was working their asses off, and they thought people who sweated and grunted on purpose were total idiots.
Good advice, Stucky, and I wholeheartedly agree with your advise.
Those of use that sit at computers for a living, though, have to make an effort to get out there, even if just walking the dog.
I refuse to take any more of their heart meds. Statin was the worst of them as far as outward side effects. Big Pharma controls what med students are taught and trying to reason with them was like reasoning with a liberal so I just quit all that stuff. Am much better now.
Good news Flea, it’s great to hear that you are on the mend. Plato, Dio , 22 and I need you here. 🙂
BL..
Thanks. A Q must have down thumbed that reply.
We know what the docs think of us non-compliants.
Look into red rice yeast for heart health. I take it for leg cramps.
Looking now… not me, but Nick. Hopefully it helps with restless leg?
Mary C..
I will.
Another good thing for leg cramps is Magnesium. Lack of magnesium can cause cramps. If I get a cramp, like in the middle of the night, I spray this on my feet and the lower-half of my legs and rub it in and go back to bed. The cramps disappear.
I buy “Ancient Minerals” Magnesium Oil” from Radiant Life. Here’s a link.

By the way, any brand I ever recommend is based on what I use personally. I’m not affiliated with any company. Wish I was so I could make some money from them, though.
Mary Christine, my best friend’s mother used red rice yeast. She’s been using it for years. Must be working because she isn’t on any heart or blood pressure medicine.
Another thing good for high blood pressure is beet juice. (If you’re diabetic, you may want to be careful about that.)
Stuck, above you say “I can’t wait to discover that olive oil causes Austrian dicks to fall off at age 66.”
I have just one question. Given your itsy bitsy teeny weeny, just how the hell will you be able to tell if that ever happens?
?

YUP.
A fascinating video. Hey, get this WIP… yesterday I tried to order a package of this silver spongy stuff the nurse gives me for my wound. Well, I just asked my old Navy doc to write me a prescription and I’d just get my own.
WRONG! A box of ten little sponges is $1100.
Eleven the fuck hundred dollars. My Tricare insurance balked and when the woman asked me if I wanted them to press, I said NO WAY. Good grief. I grabbed a ten ounce silver bar out of the safe room and put it on the top of my wound. And, since we bought it around fifteen bucks an ounce back in the day, it was a lot less than eleven hundred dollars.
(Yes, I know it takes a bit more to make colloidal silver but that doesn’t make a nice one paragraph story. No, I didn’t put the silver on the wound, but I am making my own colloidal silver again. Yikes.)
So, I’m very careful with the rest of the silver sponge the nurse left me too. Yikes. WTF?
Agnes, look on Amazon if you shop there. They have a number of silver colloidal products OTC. Liquids, gels, ointments and even pads with silver as an active ingredient.
Here is one product that is non Rx. I really have no experience with using any of it. But check it out. Most likely available on line from other sources.
Well, I haven’t looked for these sponges yet, but I will tell you something about the “real” deal from the nurse. They seem to attract the blood… does silver have magnetic qualities? NO. it is stable, right? Something else in the sponge must cause the goop to stick.
I just finished this, watching off and on for the last couple hours. It is a fascinating theory and one I’m happy to see documented in this way.
Has anyone realized how most of our documentation tries to come to us from Wiki somethingoranother? There is something rather comforting about a nice reliable SOURCE document, isn’t there?
Will there be a big cyber repository for all of those, too?
Wow… just wow. I have already pasted this elsewhere to support other ideas. What a wonderful find.
Stucky- Popeye’s dick never fell off and he kept sticking it in Olive Oil.
** I’ll prolly down myself for that one…..
I upvoted you and your thumbs up went from 2 to 5. I am apparently a three-fer.
I was just going to ask you if you thought Olive wasn’t just the very first transgendered US Navy dude?
HaHa Magnes, I think you could be right!
What’s good for you is bad for you.
What’s bad for you is good for you.
There’s a reason they call it ‘Practicing’ medicine. They are practicing on us…

In the 1960’s America was sold a load of horseshit from the American Heart Association that fat,eggs,butter were bad for you and instead things like Crisco,Oleo and other Proctor and Gamble products were good for you . The Heart Association folks never mentioned that they were given a million bucks to get started by…..Proctor and Gamble.
In addition the research that linked Cholesterol to heart disease had holes in the methodology that you could drive a truck through.
My Great Aunt died recently. She was 102, her HDL never got above 27 .
I’ve eaten right for most of my life which didn’t include the crap that the Heart Association said I should eat . My cholesterol level was always around 100 and my HDL close to 50 . Then I starting reading about how bad low level cholesterol level was so I started loading up on butter and fat. Now it’s around 210. My Triglycerides are very low.
For some reason my blood pressure had risen over the last year which maybe an after effect of chemo. I’m 6’2″ and 220 pounds. Gotta’ work on getting down to 200.
Remember …….Dead Doctors Don’t Lie .
Buckhed, I’m no doctor, but I’ve read that chemotherapy is bad for the heart. You may want to consider taking CoQ10 if you’re still taking chemo. It will help keep your heart healthy as you undergo treatment.
Stucky…I heartily share your sentiment about scientists and food. To that I would add that the medical community ignores and obfuscates the truth, and further, deceives their customers about the benefits of quality nutrition in health/healing/well being. Its all a big scam. Along with the point about cholesterol, I will add that years ago some baby Edison invents puke in a tub, calls it “margerine”…and clearly understands that to market it, you had to destroy the public image of animal fats like suet, butter, tallow and lard. Turns out margerine is toxic to the human body, while animal fats are both part of a diet are bodies are designed to consume, and support our good health. USDA, FDA, CDC are liars, crooks, perverts and traitors to the body of mankind. The medical community as a fiscal body is not there to make you well…its there to keep you sick. Fuckers.
If there’s not enough cholesterol in your body, your body will produce it. Eggs have already been proven to be safe. People have eaten them since the beginning of time, but they recently became a problem? Please.
Natural medicine has been decrying cholesterol medicine for a very long time time. One video I watch described cholesterol as the cavalry coming to the rescue when there’s a problem.
