Get this book — Toxic: Heal Your Body from Mold Toxicity, Lyme Disease, Multiple Chemical Sensitivities, and Chronic Environmental Illness

I didn’t have Lyme but I had mold toxicity, and pretty much every doctor and test came back saying, “everything’s fine” when I clearly knew it was not. If his treatment recommendations for Lyme are half as good as his recommendations for mold, this book is worth 1,000x the price.

Why do you assume unnatural foods are inherently safe for human consumption?
Most tribal people died of natural causes or traumatic injuries, malnutrition was not widespread.

Read Nutrition and Physical Degeneration by Weston Price for more background on this.

This is non-news
It’s amazing that this even needs to be published — no study is needed to prove the laws of supply and demand that have been known and obvious for centuries.

All I can suggest is to think for yourself, read his long format writings and make up your own mind. Don’t just read what people write about him.

Great post, I think you’d get a lot out of reading this old blog post on Unqualified Reservations — Is journalism official?

Re:In search of a truce in the autism wars on Thursday May 02, 2019 @09:10PM (#19814584)
What have you tried?

At least 2 of those are autoimmune conditions which can be greatly improved with the auto-immune protocol.

If you go gluten free you can take that last one off your list of worries too ; )
Yup! Somehow everyone is content to have 1 in 68 Americans on the Autism spectrum, without any genuine, serious discussion of what causes it.

Amazing how many people delude themselves that they’re “thinking different” while actually engaging in mass groupthink.

Plenty of other topics are similarly taboo, but I won’t list them here — I’ll probably get plenty of downvotes just for this post!!

You’re a rare breed in these parts!

I’m not trying to argue semantics, I don’t think most people on this forum realize that the redistribution of wealth IS socialism. I’m aware that “socialist” does not carry the bad connotation I believe it deserves on this forum.

Capitalist companies are first and foremost concerned with growing the pie; socialist govts are concerned with getting a bigger slice of the current pie and don’t care very much about growing it.

This is my point though, why can’t they open an office elsewhere and sell their services from that location?

Why are they required to sell their services from the US for all of eternity?

Yes, and they moved specific means of production to Jersey in order to sell their services from there.

Now there are complaints that Apple actually owes more taxes to USG (and other govts).

So which one is it — does Apple own the means of production (and thus what they did is totally legal) or do they not own the means of production (and thus this is socialism)?

Social democratic redistribution (of the means of production) are in fact socialist, which is what’s going on here.
Because strong companies don’t worry much about short sellers. You’ll never see Apple complain about them (and if they do you know Apple is having cash flow problems).

Companies complain about short sellers when they’re having cash flow problems and are dependent on the public markets to raise $ (by issuing new shares or in a bond offering), dto fund their operations. Short sellers can increase the cost of the company to raise money (eg if the company has a bond offering they may have to pay a higher interest rate if tons of shorts effectively lower the share price of the company).

Define “move” — it’s a multinational corporation, and it’s incorporated in many jurisdictions.
Really? A downvote on this?
How do you define socialism?
“People” aren’t entitled to tell you what to do with your iPhone after you buy it from Apple, why are “people” entitled to tell Apple what they should do with the money they earned?
Better according to whom? Perception is subjective.
Why is Apple destined to pay taxes to USG? Is Apple a slave to USG? Why can’t they move and pay taxes to another country just like an individual can?
1) does that mean they’re entitled to them? Why can’t these needs be met by those people, their families, or simply remain unmet?

2) socialism = redistribution of wealth; govt services are redistribution of wealth

3) didn’t say everyone can take care of themselves, many people can’t take care of themselves now even WITH govt assistance, it’s completely beside the point

4) true

Anyone care to refute the proposition rather than just downvote?
One of the most profitable companies in the world definitely needs to have more of their wealth extracted by the least profitable organization in the world — USG.
I’m not saying it’s physically impossible, but it’s awfully hard to believe that THAT many people are willing to live in such abysmal conditions.
“In Beijing alone, roughly 10,000 bunkers were promptly constructed...Now when night falls, more than a million people—mostly migrant workers and students from rural areas—vanish from Beijing’s bustling streets into the underground universe, little known to the world above...Local laws require a minimal living space of 4 square meters (43 square feet) per tenant, which, in many cases, go ignored.”

Something about this story doesn’t add up — many bunkers are less than 43 sq ft per tenant, but somehow the average number of people living in a bunker is ~100 (1,000,000 people / 10,000 bunkers)??

Gotcha, I suggest checking this out, it’s rather long and mind-bending (but what good political treatise isn’t?) and I think will change your perspective on the matter.
