Damn. I skimmed and am going to go back later when I have more time but this is the 2nd time I've read fish oils are no good. My mom's cardiologist told her that that was why she was bruising more. I thought he was out of his mind. He's not a typical doctor that pushes drugs so I somewhat trust him. He also loves Del Bigtree which is a big bonus. I think you've convinced me to buy that half a cow. I've been eating tons of chicken and even though it's organic now I wonder if that's contributing to my arthritic pain. Great substack, thank you so much for always being on top of things!
I think it's hard to keep up with the data because it's so contradictory and there's so much of it. I've been leery of fish oils for different reasons having to do with quality. We all know our waters are infested with sewage and chemicals and our fish supply is often high in mercury so how could fish oils be exempt?
Yes the data says sardines and other small fish lower on the food chain are OK though. Oysters have a great reputation if you can find them canned in olive oil or water. These are likely healthy and better than supplements.
Yes, this has been my and my partner's experience. She removed long extant arthritis with increasing the healthy fats, including especially, butter, ghee and coconut fat. We also mostly eliminated grains and reduced the nightshades. We are vegetarian, and eat mostly low carb vegetables and, up until recently, eggs.
One of the interesting observations I have made from the experiences of my self and of other people, is that we mostly become un-global uni-dietists when something has worked so well. ONE DIET FOR EVERYONE, we champion in total obliviousness to 'Jack Sprat could eat no fat, his wife could eat no lean.'
My ex-became ill with anything above a small amount of fat. I've known three vegans who were dyeing and restored themselves to life by including small amounts of red meat in their diet. The Petersons and other carnivores like them exist and their experience (and appearance) of health is difficult to dismiss.
Some people have had huge health improvements eliminating night shade plants from their diet. Eating mostly fruit.
Blood type and diet have some kind of relationship.
And dietary requirements change with the season and with time of life and with life experiences, pregnancy, injury or illness, etc. Will a carnivore be that for ever? [Shrug.] I suspect not likely, and yet it has cured people of serious health issues as a true medicine to be moderated after a time. For some.
For example, my body doesn't convert keratins to vit A very well, and when I've been 100% vegetarian, twice in my life, first in my mid-twenties and then when I was fifty-five, I developed gout. Ingesting butter, a natural source of Vit A cured it.
Ad infinitum.
Let us all move away from cabal-like demand for uniformity- conformity-think and cease insisting that anyone who doesn't agree with my particularly healthy dietary truth is wrong. Each of us have unique requirements that change, sometimes even daily. The real difficulty is that we have been thoroughly brainwashed to completely disregard the autonomy and power of our body's knowledge and so defer to others and dismiss others. 'The other' is a guide, only at the *beginning* of discovering that food is THE medicine. There are some common 'bad' things most every one agrees are unhealthy. Beyond that... the body knows and the body doesn't lie. Foods that make us unwell are sometimes subtle and may not be immediately evident and require patience, trust of bodily experience and 'intution' with an open ear to our bodies, and sometimes (oflten?) at some point the need to shut out the experts in order to reach optimal health.
A really interesting book to read is *The Yoga of Eating: Transcending Diets and Dogma to Nourish the Natural Self" by Charles Eisenstein. https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/560130
Yes. I've recently met one who has been vegan for many years and appears to be in great health.
There was a strange extreme survival show, in which two people are dropped off in the wilderness with very little and are to survive for a week. At the end of the week, most had begun to starve. Every time they went for the meat/bone broth.
On the other hand, there are well documented people who have simply stopped eating for years. Theresa de Hildegard and other deeply spiritual people, for example. My sister has a fascinating encounter with a roommate who had paid 10,000 to learn how to stop eating. In the nine months they lived together my sister didn't see her eat.
When I became vegan the first time, I had a remarkable dream. I was wandering through the desert. It reminded me of Arizona. I was looking for a revival tent meeting. Finally I found it, canvas old and flapping in the dusty wind. It had about 50 folding metal chairs and wooden platform at the front. About 8 or 10 people were already sitting. When I sat down, a man appeared on the platform. He directed me to stand. When I had, he said with force, "I want you to eat this." He looked at his right hand and in it there was a giant pile of pork fat. (I don't know how I knew that.) He moved it gently, to emphasise it in some way. Then he looked at his left hand. "This is okay," he said, and gestured with his hand. I knew it was butter. Then he turned to his right hand, again. "This is better."
When I woke up I wondered what the dream was about. And I realised I had remove all fat from my diet. At the time I didn't associate it with Vitamin A, just that the dream was directing me eat animal fat, not oils. The next time I experienced gout while being vegan I refined my knowledge with more detailed searching.
Diet is an endless diversity and fascinating exploration.
In the last couple of years, with my dedicated dietary and yoga/mediation practices and getting older, perhaps, I am often eating once a day and sometimes with a small snack. Typically my intermittent fasting varies from between 18 and 24 hours. And the amount of food I'm eating has been steadily reducing. A truly fascinating experience.
Great stuff and finally some real health advice instead of all the corporate sponsored propaganda to increase profits. Most on petersens Lion diet Facebook page have an orthopaedic implant or dental work. People suffering from type4 allergy to their implants get relief from their symptoms from a red meat and fat diet. In fact it’s the only thing I can eat which doesn’t cause anaphylaxis. So this diet isn’t curing people who have type4 allergies to metals. It’s lowering inflammation which then improves symptoms. Mikhaila Peterson has type 4 allergy to metals from her implants
Of course the information in your story is correct and will improve the health of those who don’t have type 4 metal allergies too.
But it is not the whole story. There has been a campaign against us for decades to deny that metals cause harm led by big pharma. This is because it’s a huge threat to the profits and future plans of the pharma industry.
If people started avoiding metals they would have to avoid pretty much all pharmaceutical products.
In nz drs and psychiatrists are even aware of the corruption in the health system on metals. They are aware they have to wilfully misdiagnose people who have bad reactions to metals as they will be punished by the medical council if they don’t. They know the metals in vaccines cause neurotoxicity but aren’t allowed to tell people. They are required to diagnose them as mentally ill unrelated to vaccination.
So yes the problem is vegetable oils and carbs but in many people eating those things isn’t the cause. Metals are. But avoiding those foods mitigates the inflammation from the metal exposure
If we could get every 14 year old tested with the Melisa test it would be very revealing and adverse events to pharmaceutical products could be avoided as it’s those who have type 4 allergies to metals who are the people who have adverse events to pharmaceutical products. Test them all then tell those who are allergic to metals to avoid pharmaceutical products for the rest of their lives. Adverse events would be a thing of the past.
From cradle to grave the nz health system is actually set up with false policies in order to wilfully discriminate against those who have the gene mutations which make them susceptible to type4 metal allergies.
We are second class citizens and our lives are predetermined by fraudulent health policy which conceals the cause of our ill health to protect the pharmaceutical industry
the trad view is that stainless steel is biologically inert
we had a type of hip implant that shed chrome (as I recall) and it was taken off the market after an ortho had a personal reaction to it and they found tissue staining when it was replaced
inflammatory diseases must be broader than metals, polyfactorial
It’s actually not possible for stainless steel to be inert. That’s an impossibility as it’s an antigen. That’s just one of those things that drs were purposely taught as wrong in order to conceal adverse events but it doesn’t stand up to scrutiny
A bit like the one saying vaccines stay in the arm and don’t get distributed round the body. That’s another one of those nonsense statements
Wish me the best; I got two shoulder implants in the past year! "So far so good" is what the man who said on the way past the 22nd floor after he jumped off the 45th floor.
Some of us must be more reactive than others, the "atopy" concept.
Certain gene mutations make some people’s immune systems not to be able to deal with metals as efficiently as others. I’m hypersensitive to titanium aluminium and mercury. I’ve had to have two titanium alloy spinal implants removed since 2005 due to systemic reactions that almost killed me.
People who don’t have the genetic differences that make them susceptible are unlikely to have symptoms until they start corroding.
Those who are susceptible are the people who have neurotoxic adverse events to vaccines too. I know drs and specialists like me who have neurotoxic reactions to vaccines too and would also have problems if they got an implant.
The medical system is designed to conceal these people’s reactions to pharmaceutical products and it is wilfull. The policies used to deal with people like me are all blatantly ridiculous like the two examples above.
did you get a positive result end from all that surgery? I made a case in Butchered that back surgeries taken as a whole are a net loss. What do you think?
are you a physician specialist?
so far my shoulders are fantastic, but then I know how to rehab myself. Although I take instructions poorly, and my PT likely thinks I'm a horse's a**, what I did has worked wonders.
Hips were voted the most successful surgery of the 20th Century, and mine have about a millimeter of cartilage left so I'm hoping for the best.
Luckily they could be removed and didn’t need to be replaced with another implant.
But yes both times removing it sorted out the symptoms.
My first implant had a galvanic reaction with my amalgam fillings
I’m not a physician but I’m known around the world for my knowledge on this due to my experiences.
Specialists in the realm of metal allergy value my knowledge. And surgeons. I’ve had patients referred to me by their surgeons for my opinion
I’m very good at diagnosing metal allergy. Ive also been described as a polymath throughout my life and autodidactic. This topic is one I’ve been working on all my life.
I’m very good at managing it too.
The world is full of people like me but most of the time their bad reactions go unrecorded and ignored.
I’ve had neurotoxic reactions to the aluminium in vaccines. Chronic fatigue syndrome from the thimerasol in vaccines and from the mercury in tuna.
I’ve had systemic reactions to two titanium implants and currently to the alumina in bone cement
I think back surgery should be avoided but patients don’t get given another option. But it can’t always be avoided either. Both my implant operations were necessary. Just a pity I had bad reactions to them.
I’ve been lucky enough to have spent a lot of time talking to experts in this field. Prof Vera Stejskal helped me for three years and taught me a lot
What I have learnt myself from my experiences has been invaluable for many people around the world who have come to me for help when their surgeons had no answers
The pharmaceutical industry has been suppressing the harm caused by metals as if biological responses to metals was integrated into allopathic medicine it would put a huge spanned in the world for their future profits and plans
The biggest fear of big pharma is everyone finding out the harm caused by metals and the entire health system is set up to conceal it
You seem to be someone who thinks they know better than the scientists who study the biological effects of metals. Someone who thinks they know better than my own specialists.
News flash! You don’t. Your juvenile questions do you no favours
I have liistened to merccila for over a decade. As a biochemist I find his insight thought prokingly good. Biochemist ray peat and perfect health diet author's also good.
Great summary of his book. I listened to it on audible, and I really believe that oils might be more of a problem than the carbs and sugar, it’s probably a combination of both. Glad you discovered magnesium in the dose that works for you. My most favorite physiologist that makes the most sense with regards to diet and supplements is still Dr. James DiNic.. he has cowritten books with all of the above experts.
I will definitely follow mercola‘s podcast-thanks for doing all the hard work and summarizing all the information here!
Information about inflammation, low carb diets, proper nutrition- have been out there for decades. Dr Atkins was very big. Weston price did a lot 100 years ago. Linus Pauling. The medical establishment, especially registered dieticians, have been lying for decades. They've even sued people trying to get the word out - to shut them up.
I built a network of doctors, like mercola, al sears, Jon barron, a long time ago. When covid came around - they said early on - don't worry about covid - work on your own health and immune system.
The health information this post discusses us not new. About 20 years ago I was given a book to read by someone that was written by an Australian medical researcher. Her book was pointing out all the bad health advice the health authorities were giving us.
There was a chapter on vegetable oild and on animal fat. There was even a chapter on the danger of eating microwaved food. Each chapter also included the research that backed up what she was saying
That’s when I stopped eating vegetable oils and stopped using the microwave. I also avoided margarine because of her book. It was a paperback book and was one of the best books I’ve written but I then lent it to someone and i lost track of it. If I could remember her name I would try get another copy. So this information Mercola is promoting is not actually new information. It’s health information that has been continually ignored by our govts and health authorities in favour of harmful health advice.
From my observations through life the allopathic health system give bad advice in most areas of health. Advice which is the opposite of what they should be giving us. Advice which leads to more profits for pharmaceutical companies
I think that’s because the pharmaceutical industry are so successful at suppressing the information each time it surfaces. Like the guy that wrote the atkins diet. He never made that up himself. He read it in old medical research papers.
The pharmaceutical industry only allows the information that benefits them to proliferate. I doubt they would allow the allopathic medical system to change so that this information is incorporated into the health system
I credit Dr. Mercola and Dr. Eric Berg with my vastly improved health since I stopped going to allopathic doctors. There’s a lot to tell but I trust them.
Very important hidden knowledge, very well summarized! Strategies such as these enabled me to get into the shape of my profile pic, from age 65. One small quibble: "Omega 6 fatty acids, including safflower, soy, sesame, and corn oils are PUFAs." I'd prefer to have read "Safflower, soy, sesame and corn oils are high in PUFAs, including Omega 6 fatty acids."
My memory is shaky on this. Several years ago I corresponded with a nutrition professor who authored a table of oils arranged in order of their Omega 3/6 ratio. The best one was SALMON OIL I urge you to investigate it. I've been unable to source a human-grade salmon oil. So I buy it in a pet store for dogs and store the open bottle in the freezer with small amounts for use in the fridge.
I read Dr. Mercola's articles religiously everyday He is a big fan of krill oil supplements. Several years ago I switched from regular fish oil supplements to krill oil (it is substantially more expensive). What I get from your post and the comments is that this may not be a good idea. Did I understand you, correctly?
You far too much credit to Mercola, he tends to rip off others and claim credit for himself. Auto immune and metabolic diseases can be cured with a low card diet, but the carb level mentioned is far too high to work. If you want to see the scientific basis for this I suggest the You Tube channel "Low Carb Down Under" where doctors and researchers give talks about the subject. This includes discussions of clinical trials.
Mercola credits his sources, who are all grateful for exposure on his platform. I know nowhere else where these subjects are amalgamated and freely available. He's an important dude.
I'm not willing to shut off an important information source based on an ideological argument, The information I referenced is very important and has nothing to do with the political views of the platform's owners. I assume we are all adults and can tell the difference between the two.
Freedom isn’t an ideological argument (at least where I come from). I canceled PayPal last year, as well, because they wanted to charge customers for saying something they don’t like.
I am a fan of Mercola for a lot of things, but not for nutrition. He is completely out of his depth there, and the Peterson clan is a pathetic case of self-inflicted misery on that front. Nobody needs oil in any form, other than what naturally occurs in beans or avocado, and even then in moderation.
I stick with Whole Foods, Plant-Based nutrition, and Lifestyle Medicine, because it works, in my experience, and I am in touch with several doctors who have put patients on this program for years, and many decades in some cases. It is fairly well a proven thing by now and during the lockdowns there was
research published in BMJ based on British HCWs and the results showed the impacts of diets on the risk for "moderate to severe" Covid-19: Plant-based -73%, Mediterranean (oilive oil, some fish), - 59% and low carb/high fat (Atkins, Paleo, Keto, etc.) +22%. In short the highly inflammatory diets INCREASED the risk of Covid. That should have been obvious from the start. Dr. Brooke Goldner explains it in this video. https://youtu.be/4i358mYJwHs
No, BMJ is CAPTURED. Where do those investigators get their funding. Hmmm. And plant-based only - no that's not healthy IMO. I notice you are an author and advisor to pharma, so perhaps there is an agenda. Each to his own, but I wouldn't summarily dismiss Mercola or those who prefer integrating healthy meat. My partner has completely reversed diabetes through intermittent fasting and by eating primarily grass fed beef, bacon, wild salmon, lamb, eggs, ghee, olive oil, avocado, cheese, and leafy greens, high fat yogourt, occasional fruit, supplements. Well into it now for 2nd year. He looks and feels amazing. Blood work was so exceptional that doctors wanted to know what he had done to reverse his markers so effectively.
BMJ has left its fair share of skidmarks, but they are still on the road, and their mistakes do not mean that every single article is now suspect. So read the specific article, and if there's something wrong with it, fine. I write about a lot of things, but I am no advisor to any pharma company. I am a partner in a company doing autologous organ repair, which is not even remotely pharma, that's a matter of cellular repair i.e. growing cells in the lab, from a biopsy of the patients own organ. As to your partner's diet, congratulations, maybe it works for some, but with T. Colin Campbell and The China Study, you are up against a lifetime of peer-reviewed research, and by now this model of nutrition is widely adopted by hospitals in CA and NY and many other places in between, including a whole county in Texas (Midland), Kaiser Permanente, and there are thousands of ACLM certified doctors and other HCWs. I am even aware of some programs that were funded by Medicaid, because they saw people reducing and/or being weaned off of numerous meds. In short, it works, and there are thousands of people who can attest to that. Dr. Esselstyn at the Cleveland Clinic has been at it for 30 years already.
John P.A. Ioannidis dismissed all diet studies in a few sentences (I paraphrased in my article) and The China Study is epidemiology and anything but science. You might as well read nutritionfacts.org. Yes there are anecdotes about vegan miracles, but for all we know the common denominator may be avoiding seed oils or some other unknown factor. I'm not a specialist here, so what do I know about the reality?
I think the key is that everybody is different and responds differently to diets, so what works well for someone such as the lion diet because of their underlying metabolic pathways may not work for someone else. The key is discovering what’s best for you, research the literature and know your own body
That is where we ended up with the old nutritional model, which was really a series of historical accidents. Protein was the most important nutrient simply because it was discovered first, and then we had successive modifications, like vitamin C for scurvy, vitamin B1 for beri-beri, and now I guess Covid-19, whatever it is, has put vitamin D on the map. In that environment, people thought Oh well, we're all different, or we gave it a hue of scientific sounding appearance like Dr. D'Amato with his Eat right for your type approach. The 50+ years of research by T. Colin Campbell produced a consistent and coherent theoretical underpinning that established what nutrients we actually need and in what proportions. Once you understand it it's easy. And it's the same for everybody with rare exceptions. That's the whole reason why it is so successful and growing fast.
my point is that some thrive being on carnivore, for whatever reason,others can't eat nightshades, or beef due to allergies....some people can't do dairy, etc.
Stevia and Truvia have always been thought to be safe. Unlike the blue and pink stuff. Diabetics rely on it. I got use to no sugar in my Ice Tea. My eldest cured me of canned milk and sugar when I carried him.
Update there they said he was ready to come home today, he'd made good progress from his Quadruple Bypass, 10% more blood flow, heart rate still at 115bpm. Scared me to death him choking like that.
Damn. I skimmed and am going to go back later when I have more time but this is the 2nd time I've read fish oils are no good. My mom's cardiologist told her that that was why she was bruising more. I thought he was out of his mind. He's not a typical doctor that pushes drugs so I somewhat trust him. He also loves Del Bigtree which is a big bonus. I think you've convinced me to buy that half a cow. I've been eating tons of chicken and even though it's organic now I wonder if that's contributing to my arthritic pain. Great substack, thank you so much for always being on top of things!
I'm drinking knowledge through a fire hose too, and I fear being wrong. I misspoke about fish oils in the prior post. Best
I think it's hard to keep up with the data because it's so contradictory and there's so much of it. I've been leery of fish oils for different reasons having to do with quality. We all know our waters are infested with sewage and chemicals and our fish supply is often high in mercury so how could fish oils be exempt?
Yes the data says sardines and other small fish lower on the food chain are OK though. Oysters have a great reputation if you can find them canned in olive oil or water. These are likely healthy and better than supplements.
I wonder when all this factory meat starts getting polluted with mRNA fallout from the animal clot shots they are rolling out..
The best advice I can give is to know your farmer
Yes, this has been my and my partner's experience. She removed long extant arthritis with increasing the healthy fats, including especially, butter, ghee and coconut fat. We also mostly eliminated grains and reduced the nightshades. We are vegetarian, and eat mostly low carb vegetables and, up until recently, eggs.
One of the interesting observations I have made from the experiences of my self and of other people, is that we mostly become un-global uni-dietists when something has worked so well.

great comment
Some even thrive on vegan diets, but they are a small minority
Cholesterol and animal fats definitely are healthy
Yes. I've recently met one who has been vegan for many years and appears to be in great health.
There was a strange extreme survival show, in which two people are dropped off in the wilderness with very little and are to survive for a week. At the end of the week, most had begun to starve. Every time they went for the meat/bone broth.
On the other hand, there are well documented people who have simply stopped eating for years. Theresa de Hildegard and other deeply spiritual people, for example. My sister has a fascinating encounter with a roommate who had paid 10,000 to learn how to stop eating. In the nine months they lived together my sister didn't see her eat.
When I became vegan the first time, I had a remarkable dream. I was wandering through the desert. It reminded me of Arizona. I was looking for a revival tent meeting. Finally I found it, canvas old and flapping in the dusty wind. It had about 50 folding metal chairs and wooden platform at the front. About 8 or 10 people were already sitting. When I sat down, a man appeared on the platform. He directed me to stand. When I had, he said with force, "I want you to eat this." He looked at his right hand and in it there was a giant pile of pork fat. (I don't know how I knew that.) He moved it gently, to emphasise it in some way. Then he looked at his left hand. "This is okay," he said, and gestured with his hand. I knew it was butter. Then he turned to his right hand, again. "This is better."

I think back surgery should be avoided but patients don’t get given another option. But it can’t always be avoided either. Both my implant operations were necessary. Just a pity I had bad reactions to them.
I’ve been lucky enough to have spent a lot of time talking to experts in this field. Prof Vera Stejskal helped me for three years and taught me a lot
What I have learnt myself from my experiences has been invaluable for many people around the world who have come to me for help when their surgeons had no answers
The pharmaceutical industry has been suppressing the harm caused by metals as if biological responses to metals was integrated into allopathic medicine it would put a huge spanned in the world for their future profits and plans
The biggest fear of big pharma is everyone finding out the harm caused by metals and the entire health system is set up to conceal it
Look up what an antibody is
You seem to be someone who thinks they know better than the scientists who study the biological effects of metals. Someone who thinks they know better than my own specialists.
News flash! You don’t. Your juvenile questions do you no favours
Even your questions don’t make sense. Melisa diagnostics do testing and have great information if you’d like correct information
BEST!!!!!
You really make no sense. If you’d like to learn about biological responses to metals I’d recommend reading the work of professor Vera Stejskal
I agree. There is definitely something wrong with chicken in North America.
And I absolutely agree with you on vegetable oils.
Thank you
Great stuff! Will have to re-read over a grass fed steak!
Thank you
I have liistened to merccila for over a decade. As a biochemist I find his insight thought prokingly good. Biochemist ray peat and perfect health diet author's also good.
I find it amazing how f***** up the google searches are about health. Still promoting PUFAs
Great summary of his book. I listened to it on audible, and I really believe that oils might be more of a problem than the carbs and sugar, it’s probably a combination of both. Glad you discovered magnesium in the dose that works for you. My most favorite physiologist that makes the most sense with regards to diet and supplements is still Dr. James DiNic.. he has cowritten books with all of the above experts.
I will definitely follow mercola‘s podcast-thanks for doing all the hard work and summarizing all the information here!
Mae and Tim are my buddies
Information about inflammation, low carb diets, proper nutrition- have been out there for decades. Dr Atkins was very big. Weston price did a lot 100 years ago. Linus Pauling. The medical establishment, especially registered dieticians, have been lying for decades. They've even sued people trying to get the word out - to shut them up.
I built a network of doctors, like mercola, al sears, Jon barron, a long time ago. When covid came around - they said early on - don't worry about covid - work on your own health and immune system.
Every awake person needs to join up with their local Weston A Price foundation chapter.
The health information this post discusses us not new. About 20 years ago I was given a book to read by someone that was written by an Australian medical researcher. Her book was pointing out all the bad health advice the health authorities were giving us.
There was a chapter on vegetable oild and on animal fat. There was even a chapter on the danger of eating microwaved food. Each chapter also included the research that backed up what she was saying
That’s when I stopped eating vegetable oils and stopped using the microwave. I also avoided margarine because of her book. It was a paperback book and was one of the best books I’ve written but I then lent it to someone and i lost track of it. If I could remember her name I would try get another copy. So this information Mercola is promoting is not actually new information. It’s health information that has been continually ignored by our govts and health authorities in favour of harmful health advice.
From my observations through life the allopathic health system give bad advice in most areas of health. Advice which is the opposite of what they should be giving us. Advice which leads to more profits for pharmaceutical companies
For me, this info is new and I'm grateful to Mercola. I'd appreciate references about microwaves, but I will look this up. Best
I think that’s because the pharmaceutical industry are so successful at suppressing the information each time it surfaces. Like the guy that wrote the atkins diet. He never made that up himself. He read it in old medical research papers.
The pharmaceutical industry only allows the information that benefits them to proliferate. I doubt they would allow the allopathic medical system to change so that this information is incorporated into the health system
I credit Dr. Mercola and Dr. Eric Berg with my vastly improved health since I stopped going to allopathic doctors. There’s a lot to tell but I trust them.
Very important hidden knowledge, very well summarized! Strategies such as these enabled me to get into the shape of my profile pic, from age 65. One small quibble: "Omega 6 fatty acids, including safflower, soy, sesame, and corn oils are PUFAs." I'd prefer to have read "Safflower, soy, sesame and corn oils are high in PUFAs, including Omega 6 fatty acids."
fixed in the original on line. thanks
My memory is shaky on this. Several years ago I corresponded with a nutrition professor who authored a table of oils arranged in order of their Omega 3/6 ratio. The best one was SALMON OIL I urge you to investigate it. I've been unable to source a human-grade salmon oil. So I buy it in a pet store for dogs and store the open bottle in the freezer with small amounts for use in the fridge.
my info is derivative but I used references, and I'm convinced now that best safe supplement for omegas is not oil but the fish or shellfish
I read Dr. Mercola's articles religiously everyday He is a big fan of krill oil supplements. Several years ago I switched from regular fish oil supplements to krill oil (it is substantially more expensive). What I get from your post and the comments is that this may not be a good idea. Did I understand you, correctly?
I felt like krill oil was better too.
You far too much credit to Mercola, he tends to rip off others and claim credit for himself. Auto immune and metabolic diseases can be cured with a low card diet, but the carb level mentioned is far too high to work. If you want to see the scientific basis for this I suggest the You Tube channel "Low Carb Down Under" where doctors and researchers give talks about the subject. This includes discussions of clinical trials.
Mercola credits his sources, who are all grateful for exposure on his platform. I know nowhere else where these subjects are amalgamated and freely available. He's an important dude.
He has had a bad reputation in the low carb community for over twenty years. for not doing that.
You mean “CommieTube”? I avoid it as much as possible. I won’t support that platform. I like freedom.
I'm not willing to shut off an important information source based on an ideological argument, The information I referenced is very important and has nothing to do with the political views of the platform's owners. I assume we are all adults and can tell the difference between the two.
those jackals censored me many times so I only use them to watch "Active Self Defense". heavily recommended
Freedom isn’t an ideological argument (at least where I come from). I canceled PayPal last year, as well, because they wanted to charge customers for saying something they don’t like.
Gee, that’s kinda like CommieTube.
I am a fan of Mercola for a lot of things, but not for nutrition. He is completely out of his depth there, and the Peterson clan is a pathetic case of self-inflicted misery on that front. Nobody needs oil in any form, other than what naturally occurs in beans or avocado, and even then in moderation.
I stick with Whole Foods, Plant-Based nutrition, and Lifestyle Medicine, because it works, in my experience, and I am in touch with several doctors who have put patients on this program for years, and many decades in some cases. It is fairly well a proven thing by now and during the lockdowns there was
research published in BMJ based on British HCWs and the results showed the impacts of diets on the risk for "moderate to severe" Covid-19: Plant-based -73%, Mediterranean (oilive oil, some fish), - 59% and low carb/high fat (Atkins, Paleo, Keto, etc.) +22%. In short the highly inflammatory diets INCREASED the risk of Covid. That should have been obvious from the start. Dr. Brooke Goldner explains it in this video. https://youtu.be/4i358mYJwHs
No, BMJ is CAPTURED. Where do those investigators get their funding. Hmmm. And plant-based only - no that's not healthy IMO. I notice you are an author and advisor to pharma, so perhaps there is an agenda. Each to his own, but I wouldn't summarily dismiss Mercola or those who prefer integrating healthy meat. My partner has completely reversed diabetes through intermittent fasting and by eating primarily grass fed beef, bacon, wild salmon, lamb, eggs, ghee, olive oil, avocado, cheese, and leafy greens, high fat yogourt, occasional fruit, supplements. Well into it now for 2nd year. He looks and feels amazing. Blood work was so exceptional that doctors wanted to know what he had done to reverse his markers so effectively.
BMJ looked like the last man standing for a while but has published a lot of garbage.
If Rogier is a Pharma adviser, well, what can I say.
Best
BMJ has left its fair share of skidmarks, but they are still on the road, and their mistakes do not mean that every single article is now suspect. So read the specific article, and if there's something wrong with it, fine. I write about a lot of things, but I am no advisor to any pharma company. I am a partner in a company doing autologous organ repair, which is not even remotely pharma, that's a matter of cellular repair i.e. growing cells in the lab, from a biopsy of the patients own organ. As to your partner's diet, congratulations, maybe it works for some, but with T. Colin Campbell and The China Study, you are up against a lifetime of peer-reviewed research, and by now this model of nutrition is widely adopted by hospitals in CA and NY and many other places in between, including a whole county in Texas (Midland), Kaiser Permanente, and there are thousands of ACLM certified doctors and other HCWs. I am even aware of some programs that were funded by Medicaid, because they saw people reducing and/or being weaned off of numerous meds. In short, it works, and there are thousands of people who can attest to that. Dr. Esselstyn at the Cleveland Clinic has been at it for 30 years already.
John P.A. Ioannidis dismissed all diet studies in a few sentences (I paraphrased in my article) and The China Study is epidemiology and anything but science. You might as well read nutritionfacts.org. Yes there are anecdotes about vegan miracles, but for all we know the common denominator may be avoiding seed oils or some other unknown factor. I'm not a specialist here, so what do I know about the reality?
Is there a specific protocol he follows that you can share with us?
He didn't follow a specific protocol but follows Dr David Sinclair and Dr Andrew Huberman. Also he read Metabolic Autophagy by Siim Land.
the anecdotes about the keto/diabetes/inflammatory diseases are numerous and convincing. No studies b c no money in rec diet
I think the key is that everybody is different and responds differently to diets, so what works well for someone such as the lion diet because of their underlying metabolic pathways may not work for someone else. The key is discovering what’s best for you, research the literature and know your own body
we have frameworks and shouldn't dismiss these
That is where we ended up with the old nutritional model, which was really a series of historical accidents. Protein was the most important nutrient simply because it was discovered first, and then we had successive modifications, like vitamin C for scurvy, vitamin B1 for beri-beri, and now I guess Covid-19, whatever it is, has put vitamin D on the map. In that environment, people thought Oh well, we're all different, or we gave it a hue of scientific sounding appearance like Dr. D'Amato with his Eat right for your type approach. The 50+ years of research by T. Colin Campbell produced a consistent and coherent theoretical underpinning that established what nutrients we actually need and in what proportions. Once you understand it it's easy. And it's the same for everybody with rare exceptions. That's the whole reason why it is so successful and growing fast.
my point is that some thrive being on carnivore, for whatever reason,others can't eat nightshades, or beef due to allergies....some people can't do dairy, etc.
Isn’t the authors name ( of Everything You Believe is Wrong) William Briggs?
Yes and I get permission from him. And included an image of his book in Cassandra
Erythritol: Linked to Heart Attack, Stroke? Don’t Throw It Out Just Yet

Stevia and Truvia have always been thought to be safe. Unlike the blue and pink stuff. Diabetics rely on it. I got use to no sugar in my Ice Tea. My eldest cured me of canned milk and sugar when I carried him.
Update there they said he was ready to come home today, he'd made good progress from his Quadruple Bypass, 10% more blood flow, heart rate still at 115bpm. Scared me to death him choking like that.
