“I noticed soon after we ate, they went into the desert, emptied their bowels, and it did not have the strong smell that is associated with waste matter in our lifestyle.” Marlo Morgan If you live in Australia or in one of the New Age capitols of the world, or if you have an acute […]

“In science as in religion the truth shines ahead as a beacon showing us the path; we do not ask to attain it, it is better far that we be permitted to seek it.” – Sir Arthur Eddington in Science and the Unseen World Symptoms are your friends. They tell you when something is wrong. […]

“I think that we largely use this idealized notion of humans as coming with a fixed, uniform biological profile… but the copious evidence for human adaptation at the biological level to different diets, behaviors, and ecologies needs to be considered more seriously.” – Damián Blasi Big-picture thinking has always challenged humans; perhaps that accounts for […]

“Investigators will have to focus on the scientific quality of the evidence, and lesson the statistic methods… recalling the old adage that statistics are like a bikini bathing suit: what is revealed is interesting; what is concealed is crucial.” – Dr. Alvan Feinstein Even archaeologists are using big data. Centurions and those who followed them […]

“Where bad means are used to achieve a worthy end, the goal actually reached is never the good end originally proposed, but merely the inevitable consequence of using bad means.” – Aldous Huxley You can start by declaring the radical experiment of wireless transmissions a failure. This hurts. The truth hurts. The gambler’s fallacy won’t […]

“In Potowatami and most other indigenous languages, we use the same words to address the living world as we use for our family. Because they are our family.” – Robin Wall Kimmerer If you belong to one of the up-and-coming tribes ready for a piece of the pie, you may not be glad to hear […]

“Most of the meetings of Internet and Technology Addicts Anonymous take place online, which is more sensible than it sounds. Colloquy via a web-based conference call might help tech burnouts clear the first hurdle in recovery: asking for help.” – Virginia Hefferman in “Breaking my Phone Addiction—Via My Phone“ in Wired Having been born mid-century, […]

“While many of us may feel like we have unhealthy relationships with the screens, notifications, and platforms in our lives, the very concept of technology addiction is controversial.” – Charlie Warz in Inside How A 12-Step Recovery Program For Social Media Addiction Works Buzzfeed News Doctors don’t recognize technology addiction for the simple reason that […]

“Good technologies have few costs in the imaginary world we inhabit, bad technologies have no benefits, and all decisions are easy.” – Daniel Kahneman in Thinking, Fast and Slow In the 1984 world of George Orwell, which was supposedly smashed by Apple in its landmark Super Bowl commercial, Orwell foreshadows video mind control with “Newspeak,” […]

“All of us must be alert to that greatest of all limitations to wisdom: the assumption.” – Bruce Pascoe in Dark Emu When I first modified a home for poison mitigation, my electrician used the accessible and affordable trifold meter available on Amazon to assess non-ionizing radiation levels in the home. At first, he couldn’t […]

“What we are on the precipice of achieving technologically is inspiring. Truly. There’s another narrative this year, though… a feeling that marching forward, eyes fixed to that old techno-futurist glimmer alone, is walking blind.” – Will Cady in “A New Story for the 2020s” The ‘IT guy’ often seems best represented by a thirteen-year-old boy […]

“You can look at [healing soil] as an old wives’ tale and decide it’s all just superstition, or you can check into it thoroughly to see if there’s anything in the soil that produces antibiotics. I prefer to check.” – Jerry Quinn in “Nature’s Pharmacy” in Smithsonian Magazine To paraphrase Nobel Prize winner Daniel Kahneman, […]

I’ve learned the hard way that at least some organic apples may be unsafe to eat. Since last summer, I’ve experienced neurotoxicity after eating organic apples from organic grocers, farmer’s markets, and restaurants in Oregon and Washington. Since apples are on the short list of foods included in the Vega diet, and since other patients …

If the modern food supply has become a radical experiment in chemistry, and nearly everyone is eating food that contains biocides, and the emerging epidemics are due to chronic biocide poisoning, why isn’t everyone sick? That is an important question. Those of us who suffer with an emerging environmental disease can tell how complex and …

In continuing to observe my body’s response to known or suspected exposures, I have formed more specific hypotheses for cure that may allow others suffering from emerging epidemics to recognize when biocides may be harming their tissues. 1 Eating neonicotinoid-contaminated foods may cause peripheral neuropathy that feels like shooting pains or tender aches in your …

One of my strategies for eating out with friends and family has been to persuade them to eat at Japanese restaurants. Until recently, I could always order sushi and know that I would be served a biocide-free meal. Not any more. I noticed a change a while back. At first I thought it was the …

I love cauliflower prepared in the Indian way with fennel seeds and root vegetable puree. Back in the 80’s when I first developed bowel problems, it was a regular part of my diet. Last week I ate had something similar at a vegan restaurant in my neighborhood. In retrospect I’m not sure what I was …

The other day I went across the street to a farmer’s market and bought a block of my favorite cheese, a lightly smoked artisanal cheese from an organic creamery in a nearby town. Having consumed small amounts of New Zealand cheddar without developing symptoms, I decided to try two big slices of the smoked cheese. …

When I tell my former colleagues about my personal experiments with corn oil, those who take an interest promptly ask me, “What happens when you eat organic corn oil?” The answer is, “I haven’t tried it.” There are a number of reasons for that. One is that my most recent experiment was excruciating. It set …

How could corn have become a poison? The answer is simple: it contains biocides. Biocides have always existed in nature and have always infested human food crops, sometimes causing disease and death. An example is aflatoxin, which is produced by the fungus aspergillus flavus, and which can cause cancer when it infests peanuts and similar …
