@SamaHoole I cant even fathom how unhealthy you must be from eating no PUFAs

Sunburn rates before 1900: minimal, despite people working outdoors 12 hours a day in fields, on boats, on roofs. Sunburn rates after 1900: epidemic, despite air conditioning and office cubicles and SPF 50. What changed? The fat in the food. Your skin is built from the fats you eat. Saturated fat is stable under UV light. Polyunsaturated fat oxidises rapidly the moment the sun hits it. Eat seed oils → PUFA gets built into skin cell membranes → UV light strikes unstable fat → oxidation → sunburn. Eat saturated fat → stable membranes → UV tolerance climbs → natural sun protection from the inside out. Your great-grandfather worked in fields all day on butter, lard, and dripping. He didn't burn. He didn't reapply anything. He didn't own a hat with a UPF rating. You eat sunflower oil for 50 weeks of the year, then go to Spain for one and come back looking like a boiled lobster. The sun hasn't changed. The sun is the same sun. What changed is your cell membranes. They're now made from industrial fat that combusts under UV exposure like cooking oil left in a hot pan. Carnivores consistently report dramatically improved sun tolerance. Not because meat contains SPF. Because saturated fat builds UV-resistant skin. You've been blaming the sun for damage caused by what you ate 18 months ago.

@ggreenwald @dodo This is awesome! What a great concept

Here's an article in @dodo about the founding of our shelter, the unique aspect of joining homeless people and homeless dogs, and some of the amazing success stories. You can also watch the two beautiful short films produced by Laura Poitras about this: thedodo.com/close-to-home/…

In 2017, we created a shelter -- @abrigo_hope -- for homeless dogs. The idea was to hire homeless people on the street with their dogs, then help them us their income to leave the street permanently. We're super excited about our newly built shelter that doubles our capacity:

@Ike_Saul Thank you. I was hoping someone would track all this. I hope this gains traction

I haven't seen anyone tracking all of the alleged (or open) Trump corruption, self-dealing, and quid pro quos in one place. For the last 15 months, I've been tracking every single tip+story I can find and organizing it. Today, I published a 6,000 word piece with every example.

@Seb__Tom @archi_tradition Thank you

@TheeJeffC @archi_tradition Looks like Saignon, Luberon 🇫🇷

The old world understood something we forgot

@Vehera @archi_tradition Thank you!

@TheeJeffC @archi_tradition Saignon, France

@Helios_Movement Dont eat any PUFAs

What’s the worst health advice you’ve been given so far ?

@mikenelson586 @VikingRobVWO Was that in the Red Sea?

@VikingRobVWO Between ISIS, the Taliban, the insurgency in Iraq, whose Navy do you believe we should have been sinking? Did you notice we haven't fought anyone with a Navy in decades? We did, however, sink three Houthi ships in 2023.

How many Naval battles have your students won and how many enemy ships sank prior to Hegseth taking over, Genius?

@PenguinSensei__ @avidseries Even though I think you're a bot, he said nothing about political leanings. It was purely a social observation.

I grew up in the middle class white suburbs with trustworthy neighbors and super friendly people everywhere and realized soon that 99% of the world isn’t like that. Most of them are woke leftists because they think 99% of the world is like them. They live in their bubble of white utopia.

I've lived in both low-income black and low-income white neighborhoods, and I think the proper response to both is to get away from them as quickly as possible. There's no enjoyment in watching the type of hair-trigger violence that causes sons to beat up their mothers in the front yard, listening to dogs barking 24/7, living next to junkie strippers and petty drug dealers, having your vehicle stripped at night, stepping on poop on your front step left by unneutered pit bulls running loose, hearing constant police sirens, shopping in a depleted ghetto grocery store, accepting that both your house and your car are going to get broken into on a regular basis, and just being around the most dysfunctional and dangerous people produced by society and bad genes. That bottom decile is a mostly desperate place and I'm not inclined to attach any romanticism to it.

@WilliamWallace I wonder if adding an antioxidant like olive leaves would slow the process

The olive oil in your pantry is not the same oil it was on the shelf. Rastrelli 2002 (J Agric Food Chem) tracked α-tocopherol in EVOO stored at room temperature for 12 months. It dropped 20% by month 2 and 92% by month 12, with half-empty bottles showing the most pronounced changes. α-tocopherol is the sacrificial antioxidant that protects the polyphenols. Squalene and polyphenols were protected for the first 6-8 months, then declined as the antioxidant defenses ran out. Malheiro 2018 (Food Res Int): even oils still classified as EVOO at 12 months had lost ~50% of phenolic compounds and 57% of oxidative stability. The legal classification stays. The bioactive content doesn't. Di Stefano 2020: at 18 months, oleocanthal and oleacein (the peppery secoiridoids) decreased; tyrosol and hydroxytyrosol increased, partly degradation products of the higher-value compounds breaking down. Three drivers: oxygen exposure, light, time. Half-empty bottles oxidize fastest because of the headspace. The lever: buy smaller bottles, store dark and cool, use within months not years. Treat EVOO as perishable. Rastrelli, JAFC 2002: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12236680/ Malheiro, Food Res Int 2018: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29579937/ Di Stefano, Nat Prod Res 2020: pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30896291/

@Rock5491 @jimgeraghty No chance this is a real person.

@jimgeraghty actually, the Iranians are a lot less dangerous than the Ds at the moment, since the latter can gum up the works and make it more difficult to finish the job with the Iranians.

There’s no getting around the fact that Hegseth, who spent ten years as a Fox News Channel host, has a bombastic and pugnacious personality and is prone to incendiary comments that are probably not helpful in the long run. The Secretary of Defense began yesterday’s hearing with an opening statement that claimed, “The biggest adversary we face at this point are the reckless, feckless and defeatist words of congressional Democrats and some Republicans.” Many of us would have figured that the biggest adversary the U.S. faces at this point in the war against Iran would be . . . you know, _the Iranians_.

@jsmacked @lporiginalg @avidseries A quick scan through your posts show that you are not an impartial individual. It makes sense that you would be so emotionally connected to his standpoint and vehemently against @avidseries, who is approaching things pragmatically. Best of luck with all the anger.

@TheeJeffC @lporiginalg @avidseries I don't care if you think he's a meanie butthead, his claims are publicly available for you to refute and claiming he's biased isn't a refutation Using bias as an excuse not to entertain someone's argument or evidence is, itself, bias and, again, YOU are the bad actor.

This is garbage. Every data set you look at shows that political violence (especially that involving fatalities) has been mostly a rightwing problem over the past twenty years. (Property-directed political action is usually more of a problem on the left than the right.) This holds true even if you remove the problematic methodologies and assumptions (e.g., classifying Islamists and prison skinheads as rightwing) used in some of the studies conducted by ideologically-motivated organizations. More recent data show that this longer-term trend may be reversing as leftwing activity rises in volume and targeted lethality. Data from 2025 and later is still emerging and will provide a more complete picture. It's useful to remember that political violence is still a tiny percentage of all fatal violent crime. Racially and ethnically-motivated violence is far more common.

@hatoff2you @jack_schroder_ I empathize with that. I also gave up on Vit C a few years ago because none worked. Its ok, one molecule isn't going to be a panacea, anyway.

@TheeJeffC @jack_schroder_ Thx Jeff. That is so rough. I was not able to do the IV due to the content of the fluid. Kinda jarring when something so good for you is such an irritant.

Inflammation + infection depletes your vitamin C reserves — this is a big deal. You need vitamin C to recycle vitamin E, and you need vitamin E to prevent your cell + mitochondrial membranes from becoming oxidized. If you lack vitamin C, you shunt more homocysteine down the transsulfuration pathway to make more glutathione to compensate for the low vitamin C and oxidized vitamin E. This leads to undermethylation, leading to poor detoxifcation, dysregulation epigenetic programming, low melatonin, adrenaline, creatine, choline, and a lack of clearance of histamine, dopamine, and catecholamines. A lack of vitamin C leads to increased demand of CoQ10 + alpha-lipoic acid, which leads to bottlenecks in TCA cycle + ETC. If you lack vitamin C, you can't make BH4 properly, which means you can't make dopamine, serotonin, melatonin, or nitric oxide. It also means you can't make collagen, carnitine, or bile acids (tied to detoxification, fat/vitamin absorption, and antimicrobial effects). It means you can't recycle iron properly to be absorbed, nor for its role in inactivating cellular hypoxia/HIF-1a (even in presence of oxygen) You also can't govern the release/synthesis of POMC products (eg., alpha-MSH, endorphins), oxytocin, vasopressin, sex + steroid hormones, thyroid hormones, and growth hormone/IGF-1. I would suspect that most individuals who are surrounded by modern world stressors would do well with 250mg/day of vitamin C, 1-2x/day (on top of food intake + sufficient vitamin E, glycine, cysteine, protein in general). Optimize gut health + endotoxin + stressors load to ensure that vitamin C reserves stay sufficient and don't run suboptimal.

@thestarcard100 @IsabellaMDeLuca And you're totally a real person

@TheeJeffC @IsabellaMDeLuca She’s right.

The crazier the world gets, the more I realize the importance of the nuclear family and its impact on society— which makes sense why the Left has used things like feminism to destroy it. They know that when a Mother is absent from the home she can’t raise her children. When she can’t raise her children, the internet and Government do.

@Elijahkrings @jack_schroder_ I used to walk barefoot on the sidewalk in Queens (I know), and never noticed negative effects. If anything, it was somewhat calming ala normal grounding in a field.

@jack_schroder_ Whats your current take on the counter argument to not ground within cities or near to wifi towers? Less of a concern as pros outweigh the cons?

Seriously, just go barefoot. I don't care if you live in a city, a surf town, or the countryside — just do it. If you don't, you're missing out on: — Schumann resonance (alpha brain waves) — Earth's geomagnetic field (water networks + cell signals) — Electron absorption (inflammation + energy) — Parasympathetic nervous system activation (rest-and-digest system/vagus nerve stimatulation) — Fascial stimulation (plantar fascia on your sole contains mechanoreceptors, where pressure/shear signals travel up through fascia to reset tensional tone of whole body, especially whilst walking). Your shoes are a rubber insulator between you and the most powerful grounding system on the planet. Our ancestors were grounded almost 24/7, most modern humans are grounded 0/0. 30 minutes a day (minimum) on grass, sand, or soil is enough to shift your biology. It's known as quackery/woo-woo because it's free and no one makes money from you doing this. Earthing shoes/sandals are great, but barefoot is overwhelmingly better in my anecdotal experiences.

@SolBrah Hoooooooooooo boy

Look at the sky and stars Does it look like we are moving like that Use your common sense

@chydorina Which test were you using for testing leaky gut? It wasn't just zonulin, right?

I get why you (and many other people) say that.... but...the gut is WAY downstream. Just 'fixing the gut' would lead to needing cycles of fixing the gut/gut dysfunction in all but the mildest patients. I healed leaky gut many times over the years (on paper with gut testing). Indeed, cyclical work on the gut has been part of my protocol now for years (its been ages since I noticed this pattern). The piece most people miss is that pathogens are competing with our body for minerals and nutrients. Whole body pathogen load tends to be crazily high in many of the sickest patients - they just are not reaping the benefit of food or supplements. The baseline biochemistry itself is struggling and as patients gets worse we actually start to see whole systems collapsing. So, you hit on what I would say the exact mistake I kept making was - thinking that I should focus on the gut. I am not saying all the gut stuff is not key - it is - and food intolerance/gut dysbiosis remains a major stumbling block. In many mild or recently sick patients, some lucky ones will get away with just focusing on the gut - but if the chronic illness is infection onset and includes PEM - the work tends to begin further upstream. Hope this helps.

@rudekyoni999 They're not

-Nicotine is a mitochondrial uncoupler -Increases testosterone and DHT Paired with aspirin and vitamin c cigarettes might actually be beneficial.

@hisugarfoxx @Clavicular0 This is dead on. He has created his own world, and he can create a new one

@Clavicular0 This is like going to the jungle and being upset there are too many wild animals. Look for women in other places besides the streets of Miami.

When I was in the hospital on life support a girl was begging Mitchell for my AMEX credit card (he said no). The consistent theme of girls trying to use me for money is brutal for a young guy trying to navigate a complex society. Hopefully I can find a good girl whos intent is to not to screw me over and take my money.

@SimmonsBart What's chauvanistic about this? If she enjoys doing it, then that's wonderful.

Every morning before sunrise, we get up together, brew a fresh pot of coffee, sit and talk, and read our Bibles. As I get ready for work, my wife begins her work with a grateful heart and bakes eight loaves of sourdough bread using a 100-year-old starter. The night before, she stretches and folds the dough by hand. This is our tradition—a simple, faithful rhythm that reminds us every day of God’s faithful provisions. She does it for our thirteen grandchildren, our dear friends, and the customers who count on her bread. Occasionally she makes a batch of buttermilk sourdough biscuits from my grandmother’s old recipe, and every warm bite feels like a blessing straight from the Lord. Some folks will read this and roll their eyes, calling it archaic or chauvinistic, but they don’t know my wife. She’s college-educated with a degree in accounting, a successful business owner, a seasoned bridge player, well-read, and she can still saddle her own horse and ride with the best of them. This is simply who we are—grateful, grounded, and blessed.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ 2SRanch.com
