" the human body can subsist on very little for some time, and even beyond that, a lot less is enough than whatever is usually recommended by “experts"

Wow- if that isn't the understatement of the year!

For two years I worked as a consultant for a legal firm which helped Holocaust survivors receive German pensions for work performed in ghettos under the Nazis. The lion's share of the job was simply listening to survivors talk about their experiences.

(Sadly, I was often the first person to ever ask these elderly survivors about the Holocaust ; as their own children usually steered clear of the topic out of fear they might "trigger " the parent. In retrospect, the survivor's children were the ones who were triggered - not the other way around! )

It never ceased to amaze me that ANYONE survived the Holocaust - yet, night after night I spoke with survivors who were well into their 80s (and beyond!) who were surprisingly sound in body and mind, despite decades of starvation, zero medical care, sanitation or adequate clothing.

By all laws of nature, every one of these people should have died long ago from malnutrition, disease, kakamaimie medical experiments , despair, exposure to the elements, or injury. How did they not only survive, but outlive their contemporaries who had everything ???

Traditional Judaism teaches that one can and should seek competent medical advice for illness-but only God has the power to heal. If a doctor appears to help a patient it's only because God granted "permission" to heal.

Therefore, if a person has no natural means of sustaining or healing himself, God can do the impossible. These survivors are absolute proof of that.

Starved was rampant during WW2. In Germany, 2-3 million Germans were starved to death between 1945 and 1948. That doesn't include the approximately 1.5 million Germans, ranging from age 8 to 80, who were killed in French and American concentration camp. A lot of the official story seems invented. Of course, why would "authorities" tell the truth in one thing, when they keep telling lies about everything else? Revisionist history is not all nonsense:

Although calorie-counting is fake science, all this doesn't change your point that humans can survive many things.

As an aside, Ray- the feistiest survivors all seemed to be Hungarian for some reason...LOL

Next time you have the occasion to be incarcerated in a hospital - notice what they feed you.

Starch, carbs, dessicated tinned vegetables, wheat & gluten, and more wheat & gluten. It's almost like they WANT you to be ill.

I marvel at how bad hospital food is - in a place which is supposed to help, not harm you.

Indeed. The same applies to nutritionists' guidelines.

I wrote the following in the hospital:

Hospitals serve mostly toxic food and microwaved crap are sometimes barely recognizable and the body certainly cannot recognize them.

You are what you drink and eat and inhale. A organism encountering the biosphere. These days supplements are available more bio available to the cells. I think survivors will supplement. Costly though..

nice to read someone who has done some real research on health, i was feeling somewhat lonely here.

i have a cousin thats a nutritionist at a hospital for patients that cant eat and i had to school her on K2 when she was telling me about adding lots of vit D to their feed. she got her degree before they figured out what K2 does and hadnt kept up

It's my honor, Ray.

Looking forward to your new articles, but please, leave the "nazis" out; it only confuses people:

What to eat, indeed! It becomes more challenging for those concerned about their health to know what is best. We evolved from long ago ancestors who hunted and foraged for everything they ate. We are such omnivores but the land, water, skies and seas furnished our choices. Today we are accustomed to acquiring most of our food stuffs from the mainstream grocers & producers. We have natural food stores loaded with sugary, additive laden products. I know many who emphasize grass fed meats and wild caught seafood to avoid or heal from auto-immune disease, allergy, GI issues, etc. We have descended from a wild, natural world where we had to be fit to obtain food to the massive convenience of today's toxin laden foods, water, air. Supplements require an encyclopedic knowledge to safely consume.

Thank you Ray, you stated what I've told stupid doctors multiple times, on creams, ointments, rubs, patches, if you put it on your skin it is absorbed by the body, and into the bloodstream, thus into your GI tract. Voltaren rub will tear up your GI Tract with GERD. Diclofenac sodium is the main ingredient, welcome to you next chronic ACID attack. Take a peek at what to expect besides the acid. BTW NOT for Glaucoma Patients either. https://www.rxlist.com/voltaren-drug.htm OA drugs ARE AS BAD.

When you have two health conditions with opposing diets, you have to use the one that causes the least problems. And Only you can figure out which one works for you. Because 2 doctors in opposing fields will never agree. And their drugs kill.

I take some supplements my dr recommends, with the leaky gut & mold illness I only absorb a small percent of my vitamins and minerals. Recently able to cut back on some of them. I was wondering why my Walmart organic spinach was not satisfying at all, I bet I will discover it is hydroponic grown( I’m embarrassed I shop there, I’m a good distance from nearest” health food “store.

Thanks for good works here!

Quite bad around here, too. There is a Kroger's besides a Walmart, and none of them is very good, although Kroger's is a bit better.

The good news is that until October, we have a Farmer's Market and my wife is on good terms with everyone there!

Hydroponic usually tastes like water. :)

It is tasteless. I'm 74, so grew up when fresh produce was seasonal, what wasn't came out of Hot Houses. This year supposedly field grown Arkansas tomatoes had no smell, and no taste. NO Jabs, No Covid. While Ripley, TN generational farm grown tomatoes I drove an hour to buy 2 bushels to can, smelt and tasted like they should. BTW FJB wants more regulations on Farmers Markets, you might accidentally eat a healthy food. NO green beans were available. Even their produce seem to spoil faster, that could have been the 110 heat, no rain. The South gets. Destroyed my garden. And watering it, the SMART METER reported it as a Water Leak. Nothing beats Rain for a garden.

As for organic, free range you best investigate them. Carrageenan is a seaweed, can be called an additive, it will destroy your GI Tract. And is even in organic foods, there are lawsuits over it. And is in Baby Food/Formula, wonder why your baby needs Nexium? You fed the crap to them, as it is not required to be listed. Dairy products is high in it.

Then you went KETO to lose weight, Crohn's and Celiacs react to the premade/box stuff.

Carrageenan was in an “ organic “ heavy cream I bought recently, & double the price of un-organic.

I can’t find gluten free organic bullion anywhere. My husband made a delicious stew this week and I had upset stomach for hours. He bends over backwards reading labels for me. & never complains about the added cost.

Not sure it's gluten. In the 1930s, Americans crossed European wheat with American grass, and the latter is not digestable for Europeans.

Also, pesticides accumulate, so eventually, all kinds of "allergies" occur.

I’m sure the pesticides are much of my problem. Always wondered if I’d have done better growing up in Europe! Thanks for fact about the wheat. I’m sensitive to so many chemicals and additives.

I was born early, 2 lb 5 oz. As a teenager, I took tetracycline for acne & that probably affected my gut . Im off to do some reading on the wheat/ grass - appreciate the info! My stomach does better with ( for instance) corn from Italy, a lot of the gluten free pasta has corn or rice base .

As long as you have your appendix, your gut flora is unlikely to be destroyed completely, but probably nobody knows for sure.

It looks like your body constantly contains more toxins than the amount it can take, which results in all kinds of "allergies."

I am finding Italian pasta easier to digest. US wheat, even non-GMO, gives me a heartburn.

I do the shopping and label reading, Heritage Farms Chicken has it in boldface print, along with Sodium. Gave me SIBO. 4.5 months sick, I'd never encountered the word before. Add Bromelain to the avoid list. I don't have gluten issues, Vagus Nerve was damaged by a bad Vertigo fall. Which gave me Gastropresis, Slow Digestion. NO FIBER, NO SKINS, OR SEEDS. Keep your vits/mins up with Probiotics @ 30-40 billion multi strain. Do you taste the can in fruits? I do. I can a lot of what we eat. And have less problems, who knows what metals those cans are made of. Gave up soda over a decade ago. Gave up Holstein milk at 18. It upsetr my GI tract even back then.

Thanks! I can taste the metal. I used shampoo & personal products with least amount of junk. My leaky gut really means everything is leaky. If I use standard shampoo, I can taste it in a few minutes. I have a probiotic from Metagenics right now, through my dr, needs refrigeration. I can tell the next day if I’d forget ten times take it. Glad you can can . Appreciate your comments! I love substack and the amazing kind intelligent people writing & commenting. So refreshing.

Typo * forgotten to take it. Not “ten times”.

We don't have one within 2 hr drive. We are a small rural town with 1 badly stocked food supply. Currently side lined with very painful Diverticulitis. I hate Flagyl, it is not nice to my vision. Might work if you had Covid as it is a Parasitic. And Organic has the same Toxic Heavy Metals as all food has Especially Baby Food.

Sorry to hear about your predicaments...

As for heavy metals, chemtrails don't discriminate. Moreover, high levels of pesticides have been found in ordanic produce, too. Oatmeal seems to be one of the worst offenders.

& rice- arsenic. When I went gluten free, my dr told me to go easy on rice based products.

"Organic" stuff in stores is usually "disinfected" with UV, rendering it infertile or even useless.

Sigh. Thanks. I fell behind researching. Farmers market may be the only real food left. All the more reason to network locally.

Low-heat paseurized milk still goes sour, as opposed to ultra-pasteurized milk.

If they can, and do, put all kinds of toxins into "medications," what would prevent them from doing the same to supplements?

I tried that and my homocysteine level dramatically shot up. I think a high quality B vitamin is helpful.
