…I’ve done the same in terms of dietary advice. All that we are told about what is healthy and what is not is based on a host of lies and deceptions every bit as insidious and destructive as feminism.

I’m gonna make my next article here about that topic.

I am not that much of a health food nut… but the cancer thing made me sit up pretty damn straight, lol! (I’m on the other side, yay!)

There are lots of “little” factors that I think can add up to big things.

I’ve been paying a lot more attention to my health lately… lol, those older guys were right… it is the most valuable thing you have.

I don’t really know what to do about it. I’m a beef-eater by trade. I order my meat medium rare – just to feign civility. I hate whole grain bread. I like eggs.

Aaargh!

Why can’t I be 16 forever? What happened to the trash can that was my stomach?

But, the cancer shaved off 43lbs. I now have a BMI of 22! PERFECT! I am near a washboard stomach, and damn well intend to be sporting washboard by my 40th next summer. Seriously! I am weight training again, and keeping calorie intake to 400 x 6 times a day. I am going into 40 in style dammit! A few years ago, I wasn’t sure 40 was even going to happen!

I am certainly no health food nut, but I find myself worrying deeply about my health.

Something that also extemely worries me is heart disease. A single man, aging alone, ought to be making measures to counter this, in my opinion. I had a close friend have a stroke once, in his 30’s, and he laid there paralyzed for a whole evening on the living room floor, until another buddy came by in the morning… we were wondering why he didn’t show up for breakfast before our dirtbiking adventure that Sunday… good thing the friend just walked into the house, without waiting for an answer at the door…

It bugs me, this health thing.

Alphalpha sprouts aren’t really that bad compared to lettuce though.

And that’s not even getting into the much higher content of Conjugated Linoleic Acid that grass fed dairy has.

Oh, and we don’t even feed our cows grass at all anymore. Most are fed Soy-based feed.

And there are a whole host of problems as far soy goes too…

As some of you know, I dealt with some cancer over the past few years, and during the course of this, given my nature, I did a lot of reading and researching on cancer.

There is a controversy going on, since the 1950’s, about the validity of vitamin B17 in preventing the onset of cancers. The FDA banned vitamin B17 in the 1960’s because it contains a compound of cyanide. Actually, it is the cyanide which the proponents of B17 claim is what works – basically, when the vitamin travels through your body, it stays together as a compound until it encounters a cancerous cell. Then it separates and the cyanide compound attaches to the cancer cell and kills it.

I am not a scientist, so… take from it what you will. You cannot get vitamin B17 in the USA nor most of the western world. I believe you can buy it from the UK via online services. There are actually entire medical clinics filled with doctors from the USA and other Western countries that believe in this so much, that they have placed their clinics outside the western world so they can practise what they believe to be the best way to treat cancer, without the interference of the FDA. There is a large clinic near Tijuana, Mexico, that administer B17 through a compound called “Laterile”, and, they have a pretty good success rate… better than chemo or radiotherapy.

At any rate, the reason why they got onto this Vitamin B17 thing is because there are two populations on earth that never get cancer when they eat their traditional diets. One is a tribe that lives somewhere in the Himalayas. In that tribe, they eat Apricot Nut kernels (the seed inside the nut) as a delicacy/treat. This kernel is so incredibly high in B17… these people get regular doses of it through their regular diet.

The other population that rarely gets cancer is the Inuit. (Eskimos for you Alaskans). The Inuit eat a lot of elk meat. And, pray tell, what do elk eat? They eat the lichens found on the tundra. And what are lichens rich with? Vitamin B17, of course. So, they get vitamin B17 through their traditional diet of elk meat.

It has been noted that with both the Himalayan and the Inuit populations, when they leave their habitats (and thus their native diets) and move to the city and start eating the same foods as the rest of us, mysteriously, their rate of cancer quickly zooms back to near the same level as the rest of society.

Now, as for the cows.

Back in the year 1900, cancer only affected about 5% of the population in their lifetimes. Today, 1 in 2 men, and 1 in 3 women, will become afflicted with cancer at some point during their life. Approximately 40% of the population – and 800% increase in 100 years.

Something that has changed in the past 100 years? We used to feed our cattle on the natural grasses found in North America, (I don’t remember what the natural grasses were – clover? Not sure). At any rate, the natural grasses that we fed our cattle with back then were extremely high in vitamin B17! Good golly! The grasses we have replaced them with, in order to get higher hay production, doesn’t have any B17 content at all.

Btw. There would be virtually no financial gain if B17 were proven to be a cure, or rather, a “prevention” for cancer. (It is believed small doses would kill cancer before it forms – through diet, but once cancer has started, highly concentrated doses of B17 would need to be used to combat it). You can get regular doses of B17 by substituting alphalpha sprouts on your sandwich instead of lettuce, or, you can just buy plums, peaches or apricots, and then take the pitts, grab a hammer, and split the pitt open and chew the kernel inside of it. (They don’t taste too bad actually).

Anyway, I’m not a scientist, but, I’m just saying.

Worrying about your cholesterol is a cultural myth every bit as destructive and false as the myths regarding feminism that we focus on here at the Spearhead.

I think my article for next week is gonna be about this particular topic.

Check this article out: Choosing Between Raw Milk and a Dead, White Liquid

The milk we got in France came in glass bottles and had a fairly thick layer of cream at the top. I used to eat the cream with a spoon (I was a kid, and had no worries about cholesterol). I’ve never seen that over here.

It’s been illegal since the early 1960s. FDA, y’know.

Having grown up on a Jersey dairy farm, I got used to doing the milking, straining the milk into gallon jars, and when the cream rose to the top skimming it off with a ladle.

I think I was the only guy buying it, as it was more expensive than all of the cheap, crappy butter American Factory Farming Corporations produce…

Aargh. I miss that Anchor butter!

Some very strange things have happened in the US dairy industry. The main dairy breeds, primarily Holsteins, have been bred for high production to the point where the milk no longer contains enough milk solids to pass FDA minimum specifications. An interesting secondary dairy industry has therefore evolved raising Jersey cows which give much smaller volumes of milk, which are much richer than contemporary commercial dairy production. The richer milk is then mixed in with the watered-down milk to bring it up to minimum standards.

Having grown up on a Jersey dairy farm, I got used to doing the milking, straining the milk into gallon jars, and when the cream rose to the top skimming it off with a ladle. I made a real fool of myself when I went to college and got a glass of something labeled “skim milk” and could almost see through it. I complained to the food service that they had water in their milk, and everyone got a good laugh at the “dumb farm kid.”

My guess is that the commercial butter you are seeing has the absolute minimum fat content to qualify as “butter”, and a very high water content.
