Silly question?1And yes, I know it’s wherefore art thou, but I needed it to be a where. You might think so, but as it turns out it very likely isn’t. Questioning the existence of polio is, however, very controversial. In face I got banned from Mastodon just for sharing a link about it without comment. No first strike or anything, just plain banned! As usual, this only makes me think there really is something to the claim. Anything censored must be good!
For me one of the most intriguing arguments is this:
It is important to note that polio as modern medicine defines it does not infect animals. So how, then, did animals “catch” and die from it back in the late 1800s? The answer is that poliomyelitis is a metal toxicity disease, not a contagious viral disease.
Besides competing theories for disease, this really made me think. And I am quite ready to believe this. In fact the curves for polio do seem to follow the introduction and use of DDT quite well, though it seems likely arsenic may have been the original poison. Adding to which we got a vaccine, and we know it killed several children. This rather than administering protocols to help the body detox from heavy metals.
Not only that, of course the Rockefeller family is involved too, and as per usual, be they this family or the Gates family or many others, this meant a lot of money but no free thinking. The virus myth continues on.
That will seem like a stupid question to most people. It would have to me too. Before I came across Dr Samantha Bailey, more affectionately as Dr Sam, that is. Not only did Dr Sam talk about terrain theory and recommend a book called Virus Mania1She has been a co-author of the latest edition., but she also has several fascinating videos on the topic. The more I look into disease, the more I have to say terrain theory mostly makes sense, while germ theory doesn’t. Below Dr Sam explains what it is far better than I can.
This leads to the question of whether viruses actually exists at all. They might, however without proper research it’s impossible to say. This research has not, it might surprise you to know, never been done. So far, viruses by and large have actually not been proven. Every time they try, it ends up, at best, inconclusive2Yes, cell cultures produce growths they say are because of a virus, but cell cultures without an added virus produce the same by-products. Probably because of anti-fungal additives etc.. Normally in science, this would lead researchers to conclude that there must be something else going on.
So how do they prove a virus? By looking for debris essentially. When they find small pieces they don’t think should be there, they call it a virus. It’s negative proof. We still don’t seem to have a virus caught on camera though even the best electron microscopes! This in turn calls vaccinations into question. What do they do if there aren’t any viruses?
This is a good question and one I can’t yet answer myself. But it’s a fact that many of the diseases we think were conquered by vaccination campaigns, actually weren’t. Even the official graphs clearly show the illnesses waning away naturally long before we start vaccinations3For a great example of this, watch this video on measles., and might well be due to less vitamin A deficiency, better living conditions, and better hygiene.
This graph is incredibly telling to me. (from Dr Sam’s video on measles).
There is so much more to explore down this particular venue, but one of the perhaps most pertinent is: does SARS-CoV-2 exist? Uhm… Well, if you follow the news or politics, yes of course it does. But does it really? Well… No. Not if we mean an actually isolated and sequenced virus. We have not taken pictures of it with an electron microscope, nor do we have a genome. Personally, I am perfectly willing to say: We are being lied to! Listen to this Wise Traditions podcast episode4Curiosity led a biostatistician down an unusual path. Intrigued by the concept that the SARS-CoV-2 virus has not been isolated ever, our guest began inquiring of health departments around the world: Do you have evidence of an isolated virus? To date, over 100 institutions from all over the globe have responded…and there has been no evidence in sight of SARS-CoV-2. ❡ Christine Massey, a former biostatistician for cancer researchers, today discusses her research on the concept of viruses (and this “virus” in particular) and what she’s learned through hundreds of FOIA requests (freedom of information act) from health departments all over the world. ❡ She goes over how the cultures or samples used to “isolate the virus” are actually interfering with the process. She exposes the flaws in this methodology and the problem with PCR testing. She also explains why talk of “variants” is essentially nonsense. below to hear what I mean. No one has been able to provide researcher Christine Massey with any proof that SARS-CoV-2 actually exists.
This then goes on to the current mass hysteria, in no small part fueled by a biased and more and more openly evil Mainstream Media, and rampant censorship5Just try talking about any of this on Youtube, Twitter, or Facebook.. You are not allowed to question the current narrative that there is a virus, and that the only way to overcome it is to take an untested mRNA injection, which even the inventor, Dr Robert Malone, warns against doing.
I personally believe we are headed for a humanitarian disaster with these “vaccinations”. Not only are we destroying democracy and God-given rights in the name of “public health”6While conveniently forgetting that the survival rate of the couff is well above 99% for healthy individuals in nearly every age group bar the oldest., governments are forcing a ‘prick’ inside peoples bodies and injecting them with a fluid that may have great ramifications over time. That is rape. Pure and simple.
It’s hard to say what the hell is going on and where it will lead. Am I right in my fears? I truly hope I am not. The ramifications are too extreme to even grasp. Is there an evil plot underneath aimed at reducing the population? A cabal controlling everything? Honestly, I don’t know. A year ago, I would have said that was at best very unlikely. Now? I’m really not so sure. I’m not done thinking about this. And I will have to delve into pools of thought that are quite forbidden to find out more. But I will do it. I am tired of being lied to. And if there’s one thing I am sure of it’s this: essentially no one in power is telling us the truth right now. And I don’t even know if they ever have.
This post is not meant to be as bleak as it sounds. On the contrary. Take charge of your own health. Turn off the TV. Start living your life. Stop listening to fearmongering people who will make more money the more afraid you are. We will win eventually! So I’ll leave you to listen to the imminently positive, informative, and kind professor Tim Noaks:
A finished a new book called Sacred Cow a little while ago, and I really recommend it to just about anyone. Diana Rodgers and Robb Wolf have written a great overview of why meat, particularly beef, is important for human health as well as the environment. They touch upon most of the vegan/vegetarian pushback, including ethical considerations, and go back to the science to clear things up.
I did pre-order the book, and enjoyed the perks a lot.
The book is well researched and easy to read1I, for instance, have no hesitation recommending people with English as a second language to read it.. And since I care about nerdy stuff like that, the book is overall quite well made and well laid out2Possibly I found the paper to be a little thin and cheap feeling, but this sadly not unusual these days.. Much of the research I had come across before, but never this neatly and accessibly packaged.
One of my particular favourite bit in the book was the references to a paper called How the Mid-Victorians Worked, Ate and Died. This paper looks at how the mid-Victorians likely had one of the best diets in recent history, and how the introduction of dry-goods and sugar basically ruined it all. In the span of something like a generation, the average height shrank almost a foot! It also touched on the very interesting statistics around longevity and how we’ve essentially been fooled in to believing we live longer and healthier lives today. We don’t.
Analysis of the mid-Victorian period in the U.K. reveals that life expectancy at age 5 was as good or better than exists today, and the incidence of degenerative disease was 10% of ours. Their levels of physical activity and hence calorific intakes were approximately twice ours. They had relatively little access to alcohol and tobacco; and due to their correspondingly high intake of fruits, whole grains, oily fish and vegetables, they consumed levels of micro- and phytonutrients at approximately ten times the levels considered normal today. This paper relates the nutritional status of the mid-Victorians to their freedom from degenerative disease; and extrapolates recommendations for the cost-effective improvement of public health today.
Abstract of How the Mid-Victorians Worked, Ate and Died
The statistics are an average where infant mortality and childbirth mortality isn’t really accounted for. But generally people lived as long if they survived to adulthood. Yes, life was tougher and there were more wars. But most people lived good lives, until they died. Not like today, where many are doomed to live half lives for years on end, with plenty of chronic issues, slowly vanishing.
Anyway, I found that paper to very interesting in its own right!
In conclusion, I readily recommend you read Sacred Cow (you can find it through most booksellers) if you have any interest in health, the environment or how to save the planet for real. As a kicker this book companions a documentary film3Narrated by Nick Offerman, and having multiple great interviewees., which hopefully will premier sometime this autumn. Check out SacredCow.info for more.
For anyone even vaguely interested in the low carb world of today, Ken and Neisha Berry should be familiar faces. A doctor and a nurse, they alone have done more for the general health of people than any government probably ever.
Now they have decided to do an online summit for The Proper Human Diet on September 11-13 this year, and given that almost everything else has been canceled this may well be the greatest keto event of the year.1Personally I especially lament the Scandinavian Meat-ing being postponed. But hopefully next year!

Looking around the low carb community these days, it is easy to see issues it just didn’t really have when I first started. In fact, there barely was one at that point.1This was in 2011. So it was not that it didn’t exist, just not as large. I had heard about it before, but essentially been warned it was unhealthy. The upside is that it is much easier to find information today, though at the same time there is much more crap to wade through too. Not least have the popularity meant there’s a fair bit of snake oil going around too2As a beginner stick with the “don’t buy stuff in packets” rule, and you should be fairly safe..
Since then I’ve come across many people doing various types of what, when I started, was called LCHF3Low Carb High Fat. These days the majority of the information I use and fund useful come in English rather than Swedish, so the term keto is now much more useful, and I prefer it.. A few friends even stepped straight from being vegan to becoming carnivore just like that. Unless you know you have that kind of personality, I don’t really recommend going that fast. Though there’s really nothing wrong with doing so, it’s just a bit of a shock to the system and can be tough to go through. Arguably my shift took too long, but a more step by step path is what I recommend friends who ask to do.
So you want to go low carb and eat Keto. How do you do that? My first introduction was simple. No starch or carbs, no grains, no tubers etc. Vegetables, meat, fish, eggs, poultry, full-fat dairy and nuts and seeds. When you first start out, there’s no reason to overcomplicate things! You could even boil it down to this:
No processed foods. If it comes in a box from a factory, you probably shouldn’t eat it.
No sugar. To make this easier, if you have a sweet tooth, go for sweetness. I agree they aren’t always that tasty, but at least they are nowhere near as harmful as sugar.
Focus on getting more fat in your diet. You, like most of us, are probably scared to eat fat, but you shouldn’t. This is where your energy will come from now. Fat isn’t dangerous, it’s delicious!
Now, since the world is rather less grownup than it should be, I need to point out that I am not a doctor and that you should consult your doctor if you take any medications and so forth.
I am a big believer in doing my own research, and I’ve learned the hard way that in the end I am the one responsible for my body and I am the one who has to live with my choices. I’ve tried a few times to mention my dietary choices to doctors4I live in Sweden, and the medical system here has a much better reputation than it deserves. I’ve practically never (as an adult) had the same doctor twice. It’s also a struggle to ask for things or tests even if you offer to pay for them. It’s gotten a little bit better with a few private clinics, but not a lot. and at best they are bemused, at worst they actively try to get me to eat bread and grains. It’s not pretty.
For great tips on how to start, or restart, you Keto lifestyle I recommend checking out Youtube, with a focus on Dr Ken Berry (all manner of low carb stuff) and Health Coach Kait (mostly carnivore, but very keto-friendly too5The difference is keto usually means you eat some plant stuff like vegetables and so on, whereas someone doing carnivore usually eat almost exclusively animal products. Personally I fall into the second category, though I occasionally enjoy keto treats, nuts and such.). For more general information and lots of other stuff, check out Diet Doctor (also available in Swedish and Spanish). There are tons of great resources out there, but for getting started you’ll get an excellent education with these.
A great idea to start is this: open your cupboard and throw out everything with carbs and sugar in it.
