Odysee video platform

Odysee has been around since 2020 and has has really taken off as an alternative to YouTube. It is decentralized and uncensored, so during the covidhoax it had all the videos exposing the death jabs that YouTube was censoring.

It's a genuine free speech platform, with all sorts of interesting content, rather than a bunch of globalist approved mind programing and distractions. Many of the best content creators, who were censored by YouTube, are now posting all their podcasts on Odysee.

https://odysee.com/

Two of our most highly recommended resources are the websites of Dr Tom Cowan and Dr Sam Bailey.

 They both also have channels on Odysee with lots of great content.

Eskimo diet from 1935

Eskimos Prove An All-Meat Diet Provides Excellent Health 

 This classic article from 1935 shows clearly why vegans are barking up the wrong tree:

By Vilhjalmur Stefansson
Harper’s Monthly Magazine, November 1935.


Read the full article on our new ESKIMO DIET PAGE

"In 1906 I went to the Arctic with the food tastes and beliefs of the average American. By 1918, after eleven years as an Eskimo among Eskimos, I had learned things which caused me to shed most of those beliefs. Ten years later I began to realize that what I had learned was going to influence materially the sciences of medicine and dietetics"

I Can Prove That The Earth Is Round


 Sally Fallon's post exposing the flat earth psyop is a great summary of why this misinformation is being promoted to discredit the alternative health movement. As usual the comments on her post came thick and fast from angry and certain flat earthers, whose lives seem to be obsessed with defending their position. This in itself is a major red flag. Who is paying them to spend hours online relentlessly pushing the flat earth story?

I Can Prove That The Earth Is Round

For the past thirty years I’ve been involved in the field of nutrition and health; much of my work has had to do with debunking firmly held beliefs in the field—such as the premise that cholesterol-lowering drugs prevent heart attacks or that consumption of animal fats causes chronic disease.

Since these dictates are obvious propaganda created by the industries that benefit from selling us drugs and industrial seed oils—true conspiracies foisted on the world’s population, with tragic consequences–I am perhaps more likely than the average person to take other “conspiracy theories” seriously.

I have therefore perused the memes and websites of those who claim the earth is flat.  What concerns me is the fact that some very intelligent people in our field have endorsed flat-earthism, and I smell a rat.  Should flat-earthism infiltrate the natural health movement, our opponents will have a perfect reason to dismiss everything we stand for.  I can already hear it: “These butter-eating virus-deniers believe the earth is flat. . . how can we believe a word they say!”

Let’s go over some of the main flat-earther arguments, and then I’ll get to the proof.

 If the earth were a spinning ball, the water in our oceans, lakes, etc. would fly off into the atmosphere. If that were so, then no one could drink a cup of water on an airplane traveling at almost six hundred miles per hour.  If there were turbulence, then the water in your cup would slosh about, and if the airplane accelerated or decelerated rapidly, then the water would indeed fly out of the cup, but on a smooth flight water stays level in the cup.  Our oceans stay put because the earth is spinning at a constant speed.  We learned this principle in high school physics.

No one has seen the curvature of the earth. Not true. My father saw the curvature of the earth on a flight in the Concorde.  You can’t see it from the windows very well because they are so small.  But he was invited to the cockpit where he could clearly see the curvature of the earth—it was almost a mystical experience for him, as it has been for others. See here and here.  And here’s a view of the earth’s curvature from a high-altitude weather balloon.

You can see the Chicago skyline at a distance of 56 miles, from across Lake Michigan. On the top is the photograph the flat-earthers like to show:

Flat Earth view of Chicago skyline with a closer view of Chicago skyline below

Compare this with the close-up view of the skyline on the bottom and it is clear that you are not seeing the whole Chicago skyline from 56 miles away, only the upper half of the buildings.  The lower half is hidden below the curvature of the earth.  Also note that the camera man is taking this shot from an elevation higher than the man on the right.  From that height, he can see a lot further. If his camera were at water level, he’d probably see nothing of the Chicago skyline.

Here’s a great shot of the Toronto skyline from a distance.  It’s clear that the lower parts of the enormous buildings are hidden by the earth’s curvature.

Toronto skyline

The entire edge of Antarctica is a wall of ice. Parts of Antarctica do indeed resemble a wall of ice, but other areas have varied landscapes, including, in the summer, bare ground.

The United Nations logo shows a map of a flat earth, therefore the earth is flat. Of course, the logo does not prove the earth is flat, but it may indicate a desire to return to the days when the common man believed in a flat earth; those were the days when people were subject to the dictates of the aristocracy and the church, and we had no safeguards for individual rights.

United Nations logo

The moon landing was faked, therefore the earth is flat. There’s plenty of evidence to indicate that the moon landing was faked, but that’s not because the earth is flat; it’s because at the time, we did not have the technology to get a man to the moon and back alive. Nor do we have the technology today. The best evidence for this is the fact that no other country has gotten a man to the moon either, even after 55 years of technological improvements.

The image of the earth taken from the moon, as a ball in space, is faked—of course it’s faked, since we didn’t go to the moon.

There are no flights from Johannesburg (South Africa) to Santiago (tip of Chile) because the earth is flat, making distances much further in the southern “hemisphere.” The real reason there are no flights is because there is so little demand for them.

These arguments are not going to convince die-hard flat-earthers. After all, photos can be faked and people do lie.

Here’s the actual proof that the earth is round: the flight from Auckland, New Zealand to Sydney, Australia takes about 3 ½ hours. That’s a fact. I’ve taken this flight several times, as have millions of other travelers. The distance is about 1350 miles, a bit less than the distance from Washington, DC to Denver, as you can see on the map below.


World Map of Earth

If you draw a line between Auckland and Sydney on a flat earth map (below), and then place a line of the same distance on the U.S.A, the line will be longer than the distance between Washington, DC and San Francisco, that is about three thousand miles, requiring a flight of over 7 hours.

Top-down view of Earth map

A spherical earth is the only way to explain the fact that the flight from Auckland to Sydney takes 3 ½ hours.

We have a lot of important work to do in the health and nutrition movement.  Let’s not subject ourselves to ridicule by endorsing the notion that the earth is flat.

Breath

 

Breath: The New Science of a Lost Art (2020)

 
 
If this book could be summarized into into a brief overview it might be to make sure you breathe through your nose and avoid all mouth breathing. And that when it comes to breathing, less is more. That sounds very simple but the range of effects that good breathing technique has is remarkable. And the book itself is surprisingly engrossing.
 

A New York Times Bestseller

A Washington Post Notable Nonfiction Book of 2020

Named a Best Book of 2020 by NPR
 
“A fascinating scientific, cultural, spiritual and evolutionary history of the way humans breathe—and how we’ve all been doing it wrong for a long, long time.” —Elizabeth Gilbert, author of Big Magic and Eat Pray Love

No matter what you eat, how much you exercise, how skinny or young or wise you are, none of it matters if you’re not breathing properly.


There is nothing more essential to our health and well-being than breathing: take air in, let it out, repeat twenty-five thousand times a day. Yet, as a species, humans have lost the ability to breathe correctly, with grave consequences.

Journalist James Nestor travels the world to figure out what went wrong and how to fix it. The answers aren’t found in pulmonology labs, as we might expect, but in the muddy digs of ancient burial sites, secret Soviet facilities, New Jersey choir schools, and the smoggy streets of São Paulo. Nestor tracks down men and women exploring the hidden science behind ancient breathing practices like Pranayama, Sudarshan Kriya, and Tummo and teams up with pulmonary tinkerers to scientifically test long-held beliefs about how we breathe.

Modern research is showing us that making even slight adjustments to the way we inhale and exhale can jump-start athletic performance; rejuvenate internal organs; halt snoring, asthma, and autoimmune disease; and even straighten scoliotic spines. None of this should be possible, and yet it is.

Drawing on thousands of years of medical texts and recent cutting-edge studies in pulmonology, psychology, biochemistry, and human physiology,
Breath turns the conventional wisdom of what we thought we knew about our most basic biological function on its head. You will never breathe the same again.

Wise traditions eleven dietary principles

Are you confused about what to eat? Do you find it difficult to navigate the conflicting claims for different diet plans? Unfortunately, these dietary plans share little with the way healthy humans have eaten for thousands of years.


 

INTRODUCTION

At the Weston A. Price Foundation, we turn to the pioneering work of Dr. Weston A. Price to answer the question, “What is a healthy diet?” In 1939, Dr. Price published his book Nutrition and Physical Degeneration in which he describes the diets of healthy non-industrialized peoples throughout the world. He studied many groups that had perfect dental health and perfect overall health. He found a wide variety of foods in these diets.

Given the variety of foods in traditional diets, is it possible to come to any conclusions about how to eat? In fact, we can—it is possible to formulate basic principles to guide us through the maze of modern food choices. The Weston A. Price Foundation advocates eleven principles of healthy, traditional diets. A diet based on these principles is called the Wise Traditions Diet.

People can apply these principles to a diet that includes a variety of animal and plant foods, or to a diet that is restricted by what’s available and affordable; or to a diet that requires the elimination of certain foods due to food allergies and sensitivities—or simply to a diet determined by individual preferences.

The Wise Traditions Diet does not dictate specific ratios of macro-nutrients—protein, fat and carbohydrates—nor does it mean we have to eat unfamiliar foods like insects, seal oil or fermented fish. There are modern ways to obtain the nutrients we need using foods that appeal to us—and more importantly, appeal to our children. The Wise Traditions Diet does not eliminate any category of foods—such as meat, grain, fats or dairy products—but rather emphasizes proper preparation techniques which allow most people to include foods in their diet that would otherwise be problematic.

Everything that traditional peoples did with their food resulted in the maximization of nutrients—from their agricultural practices, to their food choices, to their preparation techniques. We can do the same with our modern diets—it just requires care in purchasing our foods and attention to detail when we prepare them. See our chart outlining the differences between traditional diets which maximized nutrients and modern diets which minimized them. Applying these principles to your food choices has many rewards. Many feel more satisfied and healthier eating this way.

#1 - AVOID REFINED AND DENATURED FOOD

The diets of healthy, nonindustrialized peoples contain no refined or denatured foods or ingredients, such as refined sugar or high fructose corn syrup; white flour; canned foods; pasteurized, homogenized, skim or lowfat milk; refined or hydrogenated vegetable oils; protein powders; synthetic vitamins; or toxic additives and artificial colorings.

#2 - INCLUDE ANIMAL FOODS

All traditional cultures consumed some sort of animal food such as fish and shellfish; land and water fowl; land and sea mammals; eggs; milk and milk products; reptiles; and insects. The whole animal is consumed—muscle meat, organs, bones and fat, with the organ meats and fats preferred.

#3 - EMPHASIZE NUTRIENT-DENSE FOODS: ORGAN MEATS, ANIMAL FATS, EGGS, RAW DAIRY, SHELLFISH AND FISH EGGS

The diets of healthy, nonindustrialized peoples contain at least four times the minerals and water-soluble vitamins, and ten times the fat-soluble vitamins found in animal fats (vitamin A, vitamin D and Activator X, now thought to be vitamin K2) as the average American diet.

4 - EAT SOME ANIMAL FOODS RAW; COOK MOST PLANT FOODS

All traditional cultures cooked some or most of their food, especially plant foods like grains and vegetables, but all consumed a portion of their animal foods raw.

5 - ENJOY LACTO-FERMENTED CONDIMENTS AND BEVERAGES

Primitive and traditional diets contain a high content of food enzymes and beneficial bacteria from lacto-fermented vegetables, fruits, beverages, dairy products, meats and condiments.

 

#6 - PREPARE SEEDS, GRAINS AND NUTS PROPERLY TO MINIMIZE ANTI-NUTRIENTS AND ENHANCE DIGESTIBILITY.

Seeds, grains and nuts are soaked, sprouted, fermented or naturally leavened to neutralize naturally occurring anti-nutrients such as enzyme inhibitors, tannins and phytic acid.

#7 - ENJOY SATURATED FATS; AVOID INDUSTRIAL SEED OILS.

Total fat content of traditional diets varies from 30 percent to 80 percent of calories but only about 4 percent of calories come from poly- unsaturated oils naturally occurring in grains, legumes, nuts, fish, animal fats and vegetables. The balance of fat calories is in the form of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids.

 

#8 - CONSUME ANIMAL FOODS FROM LAND AND SEA TO BALANCE OMEGA–6 AND OMEGA–3

Traditional diets contain nearly equal amounts of omega-6 and omega-3 essential fatty acids. Modern diets based on industrial seed oils can contain almost 20 times more omega-6 than omega-3, because industrial seed oils contain very high amounts of omega-6.

#9 - USE UNREFINED SALT LIBERALLY

All traditional diets contain salt.

 

#10 - INCLUDE GELATINOUS BONE BROTH IN SOUPS, STEWS, GRAVY AND SAUCES

All traditional cultures make use of animal bones, usually in the form of gelatin-rich bone broths.

 

#11 - EMPHASIZE NUTRIENT-DENSE FOODS BEFORE AND DURING PREGNANCY, AND FOR GROWING BABIES

Traditional cultures make provisions for the health of future generations by providing special nutrient-rich animal foods for parents- to-be, pregnant women and growing children; by adequate spacing of children; and by teaching the principles of right diet to the young.

Primal Water

This is an interesting podcast from Tom Cowan, countering the misinformation from books like "Your Body's Many Cries For Water" that led so many fashion followers to constantly guzzle down liters of water. No traditional societies ever did that and there are good reasons why.

Although very popular with teenage girls and yoga enthusiasts, the current fashion of guzzling down vast quantities of "water"  doesn't actually stand up well to scrutiny.

31 million free ebooks

Anne's Archive is an amazing resource with over 31 million free ebooks online. It is described as the largest truly open library in human history. All their code and data are completely open source, and the way the site is set up pretty much side steps all issues of copyright (they are only sharing download links rather than the books themselves).

The Library Genesis site is even bigger, and the downloads are faster, but it's more complex to use, and the domain names are constantly changing, so the simpler Anne's Archive is a better introduction to the world of eBook libraries for a lot of people. We will do a post about Library Genesis soon but in the meantime here are some current addresses for it:

 https://libgen.gs/

https://libgen.li/ 

 https://libgen.bz/

 https://libgen.la/

 https://libgen.st/

Anne's Archive has 31,603,758 books, and 99,900,496 papers in the database, all available to download. These include a huge range of health books and many WAPF specific titles.

We have been asked how the site works so here are some basic instructions showing how to download the ebooks:

First go to the Anna's Archive website and enter the author or title you are looking for in the search box - https://annas-archive.org/


The results of your search will rapidly appear - now if you want to filter by format tick PDF & EPUB in the file types on the left


After you select the book you want, click on one of the two "slow download" options - If you are new to the site you won't be a paid subscriber but these will still both work fine. Don't get carried away, you can only do about two downloads at a time from each one of the options.
 
There are daily limits on how many books you can download, I'm not sure what they are, (maybe 10?) because I'm not the only one downloading books on one internet connection. But when you do too many  downloads the site stops working. Leave it a a day and try again. Anne's Archive is certainly not the only site to find eBooks, just the easiest on to use. This website describes a bunch of other ebook download alternative sites


Next, remember to hit the "Download now" link to start the book downloading


Save your ebooks in a folder (don't change or rename this folder once you start using them on your ebook reader or your books will disappear from the reader & you will have to add them again) - I do edit the names of the new books before adding them to my ebook reader because the file names of ebooks downloaded through Annes Archive tend to be very long.

On my Windows PC I use Calibre ebook reader which can be downloaded here

I was trying to keep things simple for people new to eBooks and tested some other more basic eBook readers such as Ice Cream reader, but I prefer having all the features of Calibre (which is free anyway) - it's slightly more complex at first but it does everything I want.

For reading books on an Android tablet or phone I use the Read Era app which is really good. It's not set up for all the more complex text editing stuff that Calibre can do, but is great for displaying and reading your eBook collections. Although its not designed for PC use, it apparently can be installed on a windows PC - I'm about to try doing that and instructions for installing it on a Widows PC are here

Having access to 31 million eBooks is pretty amazing, and before you know it, you can have your own vast library.
