Please Debunk “The Iron Food Enrichment Hypothesis” of Obesity and Disease
It’s been about 10 days since the 6K word-whopper went up: Iron, Food Enrichment and The Theory of Everything. So far very well received—as an hypothesis to investigate—by various communities. We were purposely diet agnostic in that post for, we consider the hypothesis also unifying in terms of at least partly explaining why vastly different diets provide…Read More
Iron, Food Enrichment and The Theory of Everything
This is the promised greatly expanded post that we touched on here: How Food Enrichment Made Us Fat, Diabetic, and Chronically Diseased. The Duck Dodgers team has been working on this for months and the purpose of that earlier post was to kinda crowdsource the idea, see if there were serious objections we weren’t aware of…Read More
The Baja Six-Month Challenge Update
It’s an understatement, really. Particularly contemplating that I have almost 5 months of challenges left to go under my lease. I’m not going to get into lots of detail now because it’s really too complex, intertwined, involves personal motivations and goals towards molding a different person in myself; one I like a little better.…Read More
Pick Your Comment

I went and played around in the…Read More

People are really getting good at refinements. Including myself. I now ingest probiotics (when I do, which is occasional, high dose) first thing AM with water, and wait hours before eating anything. The reason is simple. Your aim is to get them to the colon to establish as floral community members. You don’t want them…Read More
Survivorman: Hurricane Blanca On The Tip of Baja
Preparations had been going at levels of concern, up to hysteria, around Los Zacatitos for days. Some of these folks got bulldozed in the Cat 3 Odile, last September, and harbor short memories. For me, the problem was science. There exist physical absolutes in the universe, and Earth and its conscious inhabitants are not excluded.…Read More
The New Science of Probiotics
I’ve previously blogged about my use of a new high-dose probiotic called Elixa. It’s not one you take all the time, but a 6-day course you take now & then. I’ve written about it twice before: Gut Bugs, Probiotics, Prebiotics…And how our microbes make us who we are FODMAP Prebiotic Arms Dealing, Probiotic Mercenaries, and…Read More
I Have Off The Grid Internet Now
Battery operated. Ubiquitous, reliable sunshine gets stored from 4 solar panels into 7 truck batteries during every day. Lets me run lights, internet, computers, water pump…even a fan: because it’s not hot…it’s fucking hot. But this line of sight deal into the network smokes. So far, way better than endless video steaming spinning wheels…Read More
