A Bit of It All On a Saturday
Wednesday morning I spur-of-moment loaded some shit and dogs in the car and headed up to Arnold, CA, where we maintain a vacation rental and for one of a very few weekends over the year, it wasn’t rented out. I had to mail some guy’s clothes he’d left in the dryer back to him when……...

Careful Those Who Want You To Fail and Starve Your Microbiome
I literally have almost no time to blog (I’ll blog about that later). For a long while I’ve noted those who do an “experiment” with resistant starch, have any number of initial issues—mostly very low carbers—and proclaim to their audiences that it’s shit. So, go back to starving your carb-addicted gut. Now, I know why……...

Maya Angelou: Commie in Service of the Nomenclatura. Who Gives a Fuck She’s at Room Tempurature?
Thought some of my readers might get belly lafs. I was prompted to post three Facebook updates: There is one single narrative throughout history more powerful than religion: war. I say do an n=1 experiment dumping both. And… The religion narrative is designed to separate you into flocks of those going to……...

Now That the Self Flagellation Over Dumb Memorials is Over, May I Have Your Attention?
Does anyone actually think for themselves, anymore, in the “Land of the Free?” Or… Regurgitate That’s how I largely view America, now, especially including stupid-shit-flag-waving, nationalist displays like Memorial Day. That capital—earned in WWI and WWII—against no-shit geopolitical crises, was spent a long time ago and people ignorant of history are just pretending like they……...

Roundup: Paleo Magazine Interview; Gut Flora Presentation; No Soap or Shampoo – “Washing with Bacteria”
~ Tim Steel and I did yet another podcast, this time with Tony Federico of Paleo Magazine. In this two-part special episode of paleo Magazine Radio, we’re going to be addressing the subject of resistant starch with Richard Nikoley and Tim Steele.

An Amusing Tale of a Starving Dog and a Mentally Disturbed Neighbor. Rescued, Marvelous, and Loved. But Which One?
What if you just rescued a starving puppy, found in a field? You accepted, took him in, and then three weeks later, the very same people from whom you got him send you a letter threatening to take him away because, after getting over his fear of literally everything, he barks now—finally—and it has irritated……...

The ABC Australia Pulls Catalyst Show On Cholesterol & Statins. So See It While You Still Can.
When I was alerted to this last week my reaction was “it’s a good thing.” It’s always a good thing when the government (no typo) censors something they don’t want you to see. I make no meaningless distinctions between the State, Media, and Mega Business—particularly when it comes to the food and drug multinationals. One……...

Charles Richardson Smears a Reddish Tint of Orange on Your Face. A Resistant Starch N=1 With Bloodwork
Oh the hater howls last mid-February, here and everywhere. Gotcha! See, I dared to publish Charles Richardson’s facial before and after, because having seen many of the same over the years, I knew exactly what I was seeing; no shadow of a doubt, and in an instant. Visceral. Hugely reduced inflammation, and where that always……...

Bitcoin Puts the Guy in a Mud Hut in Zimbabwe on Equal Monetary Policy Footing With the Most Coiffed & Suited Zurich Banker
This will perhaps be my last entry on Bitcoin for a while, but as I alluded to in my last post, my chief motivation in this is to get some of my readers—just like Resistant Starch—to say ‘wait, someone who’s given me good advice in the past is onto something, and so I want to know……...

Dispensing with Ayn Rand Statism—with its Concrete Bound Mentalities—and Typical Ignorance Regarding Bitcoin
I’m not going to go all bitcoin crazy geek on you, but yesterday, I posted something that only some of my eclectic collection (colleclectiction?) of readers are interested in. However, as is my way, I’m principally interested in engendering particular interests among those who, at any particular time, aren’t particularly interested in the slightest. I’m a……...

A Quick Primer on Bitcoin
Some time ago I wrote that I would write about it. Unfortunately that hasn’t come to pass and I don’t have the time to delve very deeply into it, but for a few observations. Instead, Jeffrey Tucker (also, his FB) and a few others just did an appearance on Glenn Beck’s The Blaze and basically gave……...

Friday Randomness. Something For Everyone. From AHS14 to Farts, Potty Mouths, Beautiful Anarchy, Doggies and Beyond
While I continue the process with Tim and Dr. Grace Liu (link removed) to create a book that the very most people will want to read worldwide, I’ve had to pull back a bit on blogging, source good commenter and contributor material, and do stuff like this: just a random dump. But, you’re getting maybe the……...

Oh, Puhleeze Dr. Cordain. Aren’t There Better Things To Do Than Advance Shiite Paleo?

Outcompete God and Country
Here’s how you could better grow your one and only life, in my view. Outside the Busybody Box Since 1991, I’ve had this metaphor in my head: outcompete god. On levels, it’s hilarious to me that people pray to a skygod for so many of the things man routinely manages and fixes. To state it another……...

Random Gut Biome, Resistant Starch, Vivid Dreams and Diabetes Roundup
Shortly, I’m headed out camping for the weekend in the Sacramento River Delta with family, so thought I’d pop up some random things for you to check out over the next couple of days. Let’s begin with notable books. I’ve not read these cover-cover, but skimmed and poked around in them enough to know that……...

NuSI Founder Dr. Peter Attia and Dr. Oz on Saturated Fat. Oz Admits He’s Been Wrong
I don’t know how you can get any better than this. And Peter was absolutely the best possible spokesman. Dr. Peter Attia and Dr. Oz I know Peter. We’ve chatted on the phone and emailed many times, and when we shared a dinner sometime back in Palo Alto, Peter’s soft spoken communication skills had the……...

How Resistant Starch + Dirt Can Fix Problems from Too-Low-Carb Paleo and Know-It-All-Dunning-Kruger Ignorance
An email from a reader this morning. It was very timely because I’d just browsed through these 11 charts again, about everything that’s wrong with modern diets. When I posted it on my Facebook profile, I wrote: A paleo or Primal Diet Completely corrects 11 of 11 of these. Even caloric intake normalizes for most……...

The Resistant Starch Revolution in the Swedish LCHF Community
Some years back, everyone following the goings on in the U.S. Low Carb community was made aware of the goings on in Sweden, surrounding the institutional trials and tribulations of Dr. Annika Dahlqvist, reminiscent of what Dr. Robert Atkins encountered in the early 1970s here. Since being vindicated, a rather substantial LC Community has burgeoned in……...
