CLAIMING YOUR DIVINE LEGACY
The moment you were conceived, you inherited a fearful & wonderful gift.
A gift that allows you to UNLOCK and direct your body’s cells towards optimal health and well-being. 🧵
"The case of Okinawa, a group of relatively poor islands in the south of Japan, is instructive. Among Japanese prefectures, Okinawa ranks first in consumption of KFC and last in consumption of seafood, sweet potatoes, and leafy greens—its residents have Japan’s highest average body-mass index. More than a third of Okinawan men smoke. Although some books about blue zones encourage people to drink two glasses of red wine a day, “preferably Sardinian Cannonau”—a recommendation plainly at odds with current public-health advice—Okinawans like beer. If we want to live a long time, should we do as the Okinawans do?"
“Early humans died at 35. Why should we learn anything from how they ate?”
This is one of the most repeated and most misleading claims in health.
Early humans did not die at 35 of heart disease. They did not die of diabetes. They did not die of Alzheimer’s. They did not die of obesity, fatty liver, or autoimmune conditions.
They died of infection. They died of trauma. They died in childbirth. They died because they did not have antibiotics, surgery, or sanitation.
The average lifespan was 35 because infant mortality was catastrophic and a broken leg could kill you. It was not because people were metabolically sick.
Anthropological evidence shows that pre-industrial humans who survived childhood routinely lived into their 60s, 70s, and beyond. And when they died, it was not from the diseases that are killing us today.
Look at this chart. Pre-industrial humans: infection 60%, trauma 20%, childbirth 10%, chronic disease less than 5%.
Modern humans: chronic disease 74%. Cancer 14%. Infection just 5%.
We solved the old killers. Antibiotics. Surgery. Sanitation. Clean water. Those were genuine medical miracles.
But we traded one set of killers for another. And the new killers, heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, autoimmune disease, obesity, are all metabolic. All driven by insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, toxic load, and nutrient deficiency.
The diseases that are killing 74% of us today barely existed for most of human history. They are not genetic inevitabilities. They are environmental consequences.
Our ancestors did not need statins because they did not eat seed oils. They did not need metformin because they did not drink their sugar. They did not need antidepressants because their cell membranes were built with omega-3, not linoleic acid.
The question is not “why did they die young.” The question is “why did they never get our diseases.”
The answer is the root cause.
You may have misunderstood my point (or most likely, I wasn't clear). To state that decades of scientific belief in protein restriction as a life-extension tool should be scoffed at and not questioned (because it's been generally accepted for years) is a surprising stance to take-even for a skeptic.
@MikhailaFuller@foundmyfitness With a history going back a couple of hundred thousand years (or more) I'm thinking the carnivore diet can probably outlast a modern popularity contest.
Ardis once again tends to exaggerate. There's a ditch on both sides of the road Valerie. Is Remdesivir dangerous? Most certainly. However "EVERYONE" doesn't die. Peer-reviewed COVID trials like ACTT-1 found Remdesivir shortened recovery time by about 5 days with a non-significant mortality trend downward, while meta-analyses indicate survival benefits in hospitalized patients, though results vary by disease severity and kidney side effects are documented.
@WeTheBrandon Good example of bias on display here Brandon.
The explosions reported today (May 25, 2026) near Bandar Abbas—and nearby areas like Sirik and Jask in Hormozgan Province—are Iranian-controlled detonations. (source Grok).
Mario should know better. The surface doesn't tell the story...unless your understanding is that shallow. Why not ask @Grok WHY, in an area of 140 sq miles, there would be an estimated 450 miles of tunnels, with around 5,700 separate shafts leading into the network, embedded in or under civilian sites like homes, schools, mosques, and hospitals. Now reexamine the photo.
