A carnivore diet has fibre. It is called collagen, and it is the upgrade.

Bran promised to keep you regular. Take it out and the constipation goes with it. Collagen never made the promise and never needed to.

Bran promised to protect the colon. Two trials the size of towns checked in 2000 and found nothing. Collagen is what the colon wall is built on.

Bran promised to fill you up. It filled you with gas. Gelatin fills you up faster than whey and keeps you full longer.

Bran promised to feed your gut. It fed the bacteria that make the wind. Collagen is a third glycine, and glycine is what your gut lining is repaired with.

Bran promised you health from the part of the plant nothing in you can digest. Collagen is the part of the animal you digest completely.

Bran never promised your skin anything. 2.5g of collagen a day and the elasticity is back inside 8 weeks.

Bran never promised your knees anything. 10g of collagen a day and the joint pain fell in athletes over 24 weeks.

Bran never promised your bones anything. 5g of collagen a day put density back on women past the menopause.

Bran never promised you sleep. 3g of glycine at bedtime puts you under and keeps you there.

Bran costs £3 a bag and comes with a leaflet. Collagen comes free with the oxtail, the trotter, the skin and the stock, which is the exact list of parts you were told to bin.

One fibre grows your skin, your joints and your bones. The other grows the wind.

They took the fibre out of the animal and put the fibre from the husk in its place, and only one of them ever did a day's work.

Potato skin carries up to 10 times the poison of the flesh, and the advice for forty years has been to leave it on for the goodness.

The poison is solanine, with its twin chaconine. The potato makes both to stop being eaten, and it puts them where the attack comes from: the peel, the eyes, the sprouts, and anywhere the tuber has gone green. Light makes more of it. Storage makes more of it. Boiling does not touch it.

In 1979, 78 boys at a London school ate a lunch of potatoes that had sat in a sack over the summer holiday. Seventeen went to hospital, 3 of them seriously ill, and the report in the medical journal traced it to the glycoalkaloids in the skin.

Germany's food safety institute is blunter than any British packet. Small children should not eat potatoes with the skin on. Green or sprouting potatoes go in the bin. The cooking water is discarded, because the poison the boil pulls out is in the pan, not in the drain. The legal limit is 200 milligrams a kilo, and the institute wants it halved.

Then the fads that put the peel back on. The jacket potato, skin and all, for the fibre. The roasted skin-on wedges. The cook-and-cool trick for resistant starch, done with the skins left on because the recipe said so. Every one of them concentrates the one part of the plant it built to hurt you.

A grandmother peeled every potato in this country until about 1985, cut out the eyes and threw the green ones away, and was told by a generation of food writers that she had been wasting the goodness.

The nightshade the potato belongs to is the same family as deadly nightshade. The tuber has never forgotten it. The packet says leave the skin on.

Your stomach runs at pH 1.5.

That is more acidic than:

- A wolf, at about 2
- A lion, at about 2
- Your dog, at about 2
- Nearly every animal that kills its own dinner

It is the same as:

- A vulture, at 1 to 1.5
- A hyena, at 1.5
- The animals that eat what has been dead for days

That is the tell.

Humans did not join the meat-eaters as hunters. We joined as scavengers.

Two and a half million years ago we were turning up at the lion's kill forty hours late, with a rock, to open the bones nothing else could and eat what was left.

The meat was days old. It was warm. It was alive with everything a carcass grows in the sun.

So we built an acid bath.

Strong enough to kill what lives on rotting flesh. Strong enough to strip protein that had already started to break itself down. Strong enough to take marrow out of a femur a hyena had given up on.

That acid is still in you, at full strength, waiting for a carcass that never comes.

It was never built for a leaf. A cow has four stomachs and two days to break down grass. You have one stomach, running at battery-acid strength, and a colon a quarter the length of a chimp's.

Which is why the steak that has been in the back of the fridge since last Tuesday goes down without comment.

And a bagged salad from a sandwich chain put 211 people in hospital in one summer.

You are a scavenger with forward-facing eyes and a gym membership.

Your stomach has known what you are the whole time. Somebody just needs to tell your plate.

Raw milk carries an enzyme that kills bacteria. Pasteurisation kills the enzyme.

Raw milk carries alkaline phosphatase. Pasteurisation destroys it, and the inspector tests for its absence to prove the milk was heated. The proof of safety is the proof of the kill.

Raw milk carries lipase, which starts digesting the fat for you. Pasteurisation denatures it.

Raw milk carries immunoglobulins, the antibodies the cow made against everything in her shed. Pasteurisation unfolds them.

Raw milk carries vitamin C. Pasteurisation takes a bite out of it.

Raw milk carries folate and B12, riding on proteins that carry them into you. Pasteurisation bends the proteins.

Raw milk carries the bacteria that turn it into kefir, yogurt and cheese on the kitchen counter. Pasteurisation kills them, and you buy them back in a capsule.

Raw milk carries whey proteins that farm children with less asthma drink every day. Pasteurisation cooks them.

Raw milk carries fat you can see. Homogenisation shatters it so you cannot.

Then the carton says fortified, because they put two of the vitamins back.

The process is named after a man. The milk is named after nobody, which tells you who won.

Flu season is sugar season with a cough, and the study that links them is older than most of the people reading this.

The colds start the fortnight after Halloween. They peak between the selection box and the New Year. Every school in the country runs its worst month of absence in the weeks the children are eating sweets for breakfast, and the explanation offered is the weather.

Neutrophils are your front line. When a bacterium turns up they swallow it, and in 1973 a team measured how well they did that in volunteers before and after a sugar load.

Glucose, fructose, sucrose, honey, orange juice. Made no difference which. A hundred grams, two cans of pop, and within thirty minutes the neutrophils were swallowing roughly half as many bacteria as before. The dip lasted five hours.

Starch had a fraction of the effect. Fasting sharpened the cells up.

Vitamin C is part of the reason: a white cell needs a full tank of it to do its job, and glucose competes for the same door into the cell, so the sugar load locks the vitamin out at the exact moment it is needed.

So the child with the advent calendar, the office with the tin of Quality Street, the grandmother with the mince pies on the go from the first of December: an immune system running at half capacity for five hours after every sitting, all winter, in a crowd.

The cold is not the weather. The cold is the tin.

Nobody's white cells were built to work in syrup, and the season we drown them in it is the season we call the virus's fault.

Babies are born with LOW vitamin K on purpose — it’s not a flaw. It’s God’s perfect design.

Cord blood is packed with stem cells specifically meant to repair the physical stress and micro-trauma of birth.

Low vitamin K keeps the blood naturally thin so those stem cells can flow freely and travel exactly where they’re needed — to heal tissues, support organ repair, and jumpstart the newborn’s developing systems without premature clotting getting in the way.

God made it this way so the baby’s own cord blood stem cells can circulate optimally in those critical first moments and hours.

Thin blood = maximum mobility for healing. High clotting factors right at birth would slow or trap those precious stem cells, interfering with their God-given job.

Benefits of lower vitamin K at birth (by design):
• Stem cells & cord blood: Allows unrestricted travel of hematopoietic stem cells throughout the body to repair birth trauma, reduce inflammation, and support tissue regeneration.
• Immune system: Cord blood stem cells help establish and strengthen the newborn’s naive immune system. Low vitamin K ensures they reach the bone marrow, thymus, and other sites without clotting interference.
• Neurological & organ protection: Stem cells can migrate to the brain and vital organs to protect against the oxidative stress of labor and delivery.
• Natural timing: Colostrum (that first “liquid gold”) is rich in natural vitamin K — delivered orally, slowly, and gently through breastfeeding exactly when the baby needs it. God’s perfect dose at the perfect moment.

Instead, we cut the cord early (stealing up to 30-40% of the baby’s blood volume and those vital stem cells), then inject synthetic vitamin K loaded with polysorbate 80, propylene glycol, benzyl alcohol, and sometimes aluminum — straight into an immune system that’s barely online.

Why are we “fixing” what God already designed perfectly?

Think about it before you consent.
Nature doesn’t make mistakes. God doesn’t either.
Delay cord clamping. Keep the cord blood. Trust colostrum. Respect the design.

Your baby’s body was fearfully and wonderfully made. ❤️

Nature just dropped ANOTHER epic counter to the tick invasion! 🛡️

After guinea fowl eating 1,000 ticks a day, check this out — ticks literally freak out and run from these essential oils:
Tea Tree
Neem
Oregano
Black Seed
The little bloodsuckers won’t even touch them.

Perfect natural armor for your yard, pets, and family while tick season ramps up.

President Trump has handed his press conference over to victims of Hurricane Helene and is asking them on national television to name the insurance companies that have stiffed them. Absolutely epic stuff.

Hearing that the Verizon outage is more than just an outage.

Source tells me Verizon has been hacked on a national level and they don’t want to disclose it publicly, and that the phones affected have actually been DEREGISTRED from the Verizon system which is why service has been down all day and users are getting SOS messages.

@Verizon is totally silent.
