He also lived and worked with Melissa Cargill during this time, who was a trained chemist at Berkley and also became the mother of one of his children... This usually isn't mentioned very much for some reason.

Not to take away from his genius, but this surely helped..

I recently read "Owsley and Me" by Rhoney Stanley, another woman he lived with at the time (The three of them lived together), who also become mother of one of his children, at the same time...

Yes, quite a character.

>From at least the mid-1960s until his death, Stanley practiced and advocated an all-meat diet, believing that humans are naturally carnivorous.

yep, reading bears pseudoanonymous posts about experimenting with satisfying his ice cream cravings with various sugar free heavy cream based frozen concoctions are some of my favorite hidden gems that exist on the internet.

Yeah..

And in his later years, he developed cancer in his throat, which he blamed on either the few vegetables his parents forced him to eat as a child, or performing cunnilingus on a girl in the 60's who was "clumpy" down there...
