@DamionKnudsen @LiveAncestral Oxalate crystals cause gout in much the same way as uric acid. It was well known in the early 20th century and gout was treated effectively by targeting both pathways. It’s almost as though they no longer are keen on cures 🤷‍♂️

@DamionKnudsen @LiveAncestral Look up rabbit starvation. Low fat is not good at all. Not surprised eating that way nearly killed you. Look up cellular glycation and AGEs if you think that plants are the answer 😊

@ElieJarrougeMD Where do oxalates fit in the picture? Cutting out plant matter reduces oxalic acid intake which used to be considered alongside uric acid when contending with gout.

🚨 PRINCETON PHYSICS PROFESSORS DEBUNK CLIMATE CHANGE!

A revealing graph from Drs. William Happer and Richard Lindzen advances freedom by dismantling the false narrative that blames CO₂ for an impending climatic catastrophe. Policies rooted in this alarmism—net zero mandates, energy restrictions, subsidies for wind and solar, and regulatory overreach—have been devastating to America and many other countries.

These mandates have forced electricity and fuel prices to skyrocket, closed reliable power plants, outsourced manufacturing jobs, and burdened families and businesses with higher costs of living. While delivering no environmental benefits, climate policies have contributed to energy poverty, a less reliable power grid, and a transfer of wealth from working families to government-favored industries.

Drs. Lindzen and Happer, physics professors emeriti at Princeton University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, respectively, show through their new graph (below) how CO₂’s warming power decreases very rapidly with increasing atmospheric concentration.

CO2’s greenhouse effect is the result of its interaction with the infrared of the electromagnetic spectrum, which is now largely saturated at today’s CO2concentration of about 420 parts per million (ppm). With so little unaffected infrared radiation left to interact with CO2 molecules, adding more of the gas is having a trivial effect and will produce even less warming in the future.

@robinmonotti But how can we tax the sun?

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

A world-famous scientist sent a single tweet about feeding a baby, and his own profession spent four years and millions of rand trying to take his medical licence for it. His real crime was changing his mind about carbohydrate, in public.

Tim Noakes had been the high priest of carb-loading. He wrote the book that taught a generation of runners to fuel on starch, then he went back to the science, decided he had been wrong, and started advocating the low-carbohydrate, high-fat way of eating he credits with reversing his own type 2 diabetes.

In February 2014 a mother on Twitter asked him whether low-carb eating was safe while breastfeeding. He replied that the baby thrives on the breast milk itself, and that the thing to get right was weaning onto real food rather than processed cereal. That was the whole offence.

The president of the national dietetics association reported him. The Health Professions Council of South Africa charged him with unprofessional conduct and put him on trial. It ground on for years. In April 2017 the panel cleared him on every count, finding the tweet scientifically sound and incapable of harming anyone. The council appealed. In 2018 the appeal was dismissed as well. He won twice, comprehensively, over a single tweet about weaning a baby.

Noakes said the case had been built to silence anyone trying to change public opinion about food and the food industry. You do not have to take his word for the motive to see the shape of it. A man was put through a four-year ordeal, not for being wrong, but for contradicting the dietary consensus where ordinary people could read it. The message to everyone watching was meant to be simple. Keep your mouth shut. He kept his open, and he was proved right.

The best striker on the planet eats like a Norwegian farmer from 1850, and the British tabloids called it "cannibalistic."

Erling Haaland, the six foot four machine breaking every scoring record in sight, has let the world see his plate, and it reads like a carnivore forum brought to life. He buys beef heart and liver from the butcher and eats them by choice. Fatty steaks, the fattier the better, by his own account. Sea bass, salmon, mackerel. Eggs on sourdough. Raw honey. And his self-described "magic potion," raw milk, which he drinks straight, stirs into his coffee and blends with greens to carry to training.

The sourcing is the entire philosophy. Holding up the organs in his documentary, he said most people will not touch them, but he cares about his body and about eating quality local food. Then the line that belongs on a barn door: people say meat is bad, but which meat? The stuff from McDonald's, or the local cow eating grass right over there?

Look at what is missing just as hard. No seed oils. No fizzy drinks. No alcohol. No ultra-processed anything. He filters his water and chases the morning sun. The man treats a packet of crisps the way most people treat a syringe.

Now the honest footnotes, because the internet lost its mind. The famous 6,000-calorie figure is one he flatly waves away, saying he does not count. His dad's lasagne is a sacred pre-match ritual, he makes brisket tacos in the slow cooker, and his actual favourite food is a kebab pizza he allows himself about once a year.

Strip away the cryo chamber and the mouth tape and the part underneath is almost insultingly simple. Whole food, mostly animal, sourced with care, nothing from a factory. The most lethal finisher in football runs on the exact diet the official guidance spent fifty years telling you to fear.

The myth: Dr Atkins, the steak-and-butter man, dropped dead of a heart attack. His own diet got him in the end.

What actually happened: he slipped on an icy pavement outside his Manhattan clinic, cracked his head, and died nine days later of the brain injury. The thing that killed him was a frozen pavement.

Then came the cleanup. A leaked medical examiner's note, handed to the press by a vegetarian campaign group, said he weighed 258 pounds at death. Proof of obesity, they crowed. He had weighed 195 on admission. The other sixty-odd pounds were fluid, pumped into a man who had spent nine days comatose in intensive care. They photographed a balloon and called it a lifestyle.

He did have a weak heart, as it happens, a cardiomyopathy left by a viral infection. His arteries, on the angiogram, ran clean. Even his heart trouble was the opposite of the clogged-artery disease they wanted to blame on his dinner.

None of it touched the diet, in either direction. He fell on some ice. That is the whole story.

But "the meat doctor's heart gave out" travels a great deal faster than "he slipped over in February," which is the only reason you ever heard the first one.

Most people come to carnivore for one reason. They want to lose weight.

And it works, better than almost anything else they've tried, which is usually enough to keep them around for a few weeks.

But the ones who stay start noticing other things. The aches that quietly fade. The fog that lifts. The low mood, the restless sleep, the gut that never once settled, all of it easing in the background while they were only watching the scales.

Things they'd long since made peace with. Things they'd been told to simply live with. Things they never thought to connect to what was on their plate.

That's the part nobody warns you about at the start.

Weight loss is the headline. It is also the smallest thing this way of eating will ever do for you.

It is merely the buy-in.

The real returns come after.

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

As animals go, we are frankly a joke.

No claws. No fangs worth the name. Skin you can open with a thumbnail. We cannot outrun a labrador, cannot out-climb a housecat, cannot out-wrestle a creature half our weight. A chimp shorter than you would take your arm clean off. Drop a naked human into any wilderness on earth and the smart money is on the wildlife.

And yet we run the planet. We put the lions in enclosures and charge schoolchildren to come and look at them.

The whole trick sits behind your forehead. Three pounds of tissue, around 60 percent fat, burning a fifth of your energy while you sit perfectly still doing nothing whatsoever. That organ is the entire reason a soft, slow, fangless ape ended up at the top of every food chain it ever wandered into.

So ask the obvious question. What builds and fuels a brain like that?

Not leaves. Leaves bought the gorilla a quiet life in the forest and a belly the size of a space hopper. Our ancestors took the other road. They went after fat. Bone marrow, brain, organs, the rich greasy parts of large animals. Dense fuel for a hungry organ, so the brain grew, and the better it grew the better they hunted, and round and round it went.

You are the soft, slow, fangless thing that worked out how to kill whatever it pleased, and you managed it on a diet of fat. Then, a few decades ago, we decided fat was the enemy. The very substance that built the organ now making the decision.

@robinmonotti 800 years represents the thermal capacity of the Earth’s oceans. It takes that long for them to warm/cool. Once the warming happens the oceans then release the CO2. CO2 is not the driver. But it’s easy to tax when one is made to fear climate catastrophe.

@SamaHoole And one improves the soil whilst the other depletes it.

[Sama Hoole @SamaHoole]

Vitamin D is misnamed. It's a hormone the body makes from cholesterol when sunlight hits the skin.

Two substances we've been told to avoid for fifty years.

The cholesterol gets prescribed away with a statin.

The sun gets blocked with SPF 50 from March.

When the bloodwork inevitably comes back deficient, you're handed a capsule of synthetic D3, often suspended in soybean oil, and told that supplementing is now essential.

The system removed the inputs. The system then sold you the replacement.

Vitamin D regulates immune function, bone density, mood, hormonal health, and the expression of hundreds of genes. The chronic disease epidemics of the modern era track its decline almost perfectly.

The cure is not a capsule. The cure is the cholesterol your liver wants to make and the sun on the skin it was always meant to meet.

Both are free. Which is the entire problem.

THE SUN IS WHAT DRIVES TEMPERATURE ON EARTH, NOT CO2!
The warming from the Sun is cyclical, it's NOT constant. The distance of where you are from the Sun is constantly changing because both the Earth's orbit around the Sun is irregular and the Sun itself wobbles due to the combined gravitational pull of all the planets together. Look at the Schwabe solar cycle of 11 years, the Jose solar cycle of solar Inertial Motion of 179 years, Eddy Solar Cycle of 1000 years, the Bray-Halstatt Cycles of 2300-2500 years, then look into the three Milankovitch Cycles.

Short to medium term climate change:
Solar Inertial Motion: the combined mass of the planets also moves the position of the Sun through their combined gravitational pull, meaning the Sun moves around following the ever moving barycentre of the Solar system rather than being in a fixed central point in the middle Solar System. That is the key thing to understand: the Sun is moving around, wobbling in spiral like motion as it travels, it is not stationary. Once you understand that all medium term climate change can be explained simply because of the Sun's changing distance from the Earth.

None of this has anything to do with humans. None of this has anything to do with CO2. The models of the Solar System you grew up believing as a child were gross over simplifications. They conditioned you to believe that the Solar system has a fixed Sun position with a regular Sun activity with regular orbits, of which the Earth is one. Yet that is not the reality: not only the earth both tilts and wobbles as it orbits, but the orbit is a changing ellipse not a perfect circle, meaning the distance from the Sun is not constant. These are the three Milankovitch cycles. Also other planets have irregular orbits.

The combined effect of all these irregular orbits together pulls the Sun off centre of the solar system into the barycentre. A wobbling Sun is the real reason for short to medium term climate change, and an irregular earth orbit, tilt and wobble is the reason for long term climate change.

And this is just the beginning of the story of irregularity in the Earth's orbit around the Sun, then there are cycles of Sun activity, making it stronger and weaker according to how close to the 11 year cycle of magnetic poles flip it is, next being in 2024, and how many Sun spots & Solar flares we are exposed to.

Then you need to factor volcanic activity, the Hunga-Tonga Hunga underwater volcanic eruption of January 2022 increased the water vapour in the stratosphere by 10%, this in itself will cause considerable warming of the planet in most regions.

It's definitely not a simplistic neat black and white story of CO2, a minor greenhouse gas, as 95% of the earth's greenhouse gases are constituted by water vapour instead.

Humans have no power to determine either the orbit of the Earth around the Sun or the Sun's internal & external activity, or the water vapour in the atmosphere.

Life adapts much more easily to higher temperatures and increases in CO2, particularly plants, vegetation, trees, plankton& phytoplankton, than it does to decreases in CO2.

The real danger is a decrease of CO2, and a decrease in temperature, not an increase in either.

Once again, we have been deceived by a systematically corrupt scientific funding system linked to oligarchs interests.

CO2 was always a control knob for economic prosperity, not climate.
