Read MoreThe Big Elixa Probiotic Experiment Update: It Begins Tomorrow
1. Here are the previous posts on this hyper-probiotic: I was going to just update that last post in that list, but since this is now my exclusive focus for a while, and I need to get something fresh on the blog, let’s just do a richer article. 2. Another testimonial. Michael says: September 22, 2015……...
Read MoreElixa. The World’s Most High-Tech Probiotic. Now Shipping.
Due to the huge number of orders that have been placed by FreeTheAnimal visitors and readers, Elixa has sold out twice. In response, Karl Seddon—its Oxford University-educated founder—has brought new production and distribution capacity online, and after about a month of being sold out, is once again shipping. You might be unaware that Karl is…
Read MoreFocused Misanthropy: Living for the 0.01 Percenters
What does one do with a Woodchuck Pirate, aka Raymond J. Raupers, Jr USA? Woodchuck has dropped comments on my blog for years. He always puts a lot of effort into it. It’s sometimes a bit lost on me contextually, but since I’ve traveled in such circles for a couple of decades, I well know that anyone’s……...
Read MoreThe Great Gut Bug Book, Chapter 1: Meet The Whole You
It’s time to get this thing done. It stands currently at 19 Chapters and two substantial appendices. This is Chapter 1, and I will publish Chapter 2 here (Your Second Brain), within a few days to a week, when it feels right. And it now feels like the right and prime time to drive it……...
Read MoreThe Green Pastures Fermented Cod Liver Oil Brouhaha
I’ll probably disappoint some with a paucity of input, here. But, I promised, so here is going to be my honest take on the matter. The background is that way long time ago, 2008, I read a post by then student, now Dr. Stephan Guyenet, referencing a post by then student, now Dr. Chris Masterjohn….…...
Read MoreWho’s Damn Tired of “Internet Security” and Being “Protected?” (Attention VRBO and HomeAway)
It’s getting so over the top. Every time I turn around I have to change a password, answer security questions, look at some pic-icon, or, worst of all, get a text or a phone call to “verify” I’m not the retard they’re treating me like. Here’s a good way to know all the silly people……...

Read MoreDr. Mark Pimentel of Cedars-Sinai on Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO) (Heartburn)
It’s really super very hard to get me to spend time listening to a Podcast. I don’t really get the whole enthusiasm with podcasts, much—perhaps, because I spend as little time sitting in traffic in a car as possible. I’d rather be poor and die. This one is different. You can also just read the……...
Read MoreAfter Years Of Trying Everything, Woman Finds Eczema Relief In Elixa Probiotic at a Fraction of the Cost
First, an update on yesterday’s post where comment input from John Brisson and Allan Folz has motivated Karl Seddon and I to modify the Elixa Probiotic experiment. I’ll let Karl explain: I’m thinking I should send some more uBiome tests your way. My main interest with the uBiome testing method is how to get the…
Read MoreElixa Probiotic and uBiome Experiment With Me As Test Subject
Guess what’s in the works. The plan: There’s big news about Elixa in the works, including reformulation and distribution (how about 2 U.S. distribution points, so you get your order in a couple of days—not 2 weeks from the UK?). I’ll save that for later, as I transition into a mode of promoting what……...
Read MoreWar and Peace (Flies, Human Intruders, and Free Range Dogs)
Other than this mussels & clams dish at a benefit dinner for a dear friend Saturday evening in Saratoga, CA, life has been tough. We’re literally living in a trailer on 5 acres in the east hills, caretakers of a property with assets for the taking that require guarding; and it was only because……...
Read MoreThe State of the [Labor] Union
Briefly: In 2013 there were 14.5 million members in the U.S., compared with 17.7 million in 1983. In 2013, the percentage of workers belonging to a union in the United States (or total labor union “density”) was 11.3%, compared to 20.1% in 1983.[1] From a global perspective, the density in 2010 was 11.4% in the……...

…Interesting that the very two first French films I ever watched were Jean de Florette and Manon de Source… Look ’em up. I’ve made much of working electricity, via the S[o]n. Here’s the quick vid I did of that yesterday, no editing,: Solar music. What you see on the controller, in succession, is battery voltage, charge input……...
Read More“I had come to the realization that our system of scientific publication is governed by people who have no idea what knowledge is.”
Via my Facebook Files: this, quoted in its entirety. Jean-François Gariépy This week, I resigned from my position at Duke University with no intent to solicit employment in state-funded academic research positions in the foreseeable future. Many reasons have motivated this choice, starting with personal ones: I will soon be a father and want to be……...
Read MoreJuxtaposing the “Liberal” Left and the “Conservative” Right: In My Way
A couple of meanderings, today, shot over the bow of my Facebook page. First was this piece by Jeffrey Tucker of Libery.me, via his Beautiful Anarchy page: Has Donald Trump Unleashed the Neo-Nazis? I am daily taken aback at the abject ignorance of history in this country and the circumstances that gave rise to National Socialism……...

Read MoreA Few Words About Tweedledum and Tweedledee; Hillary and Trump; Democrat and Republican; The Best You Can Do
[Yes the post on Green Pastures FCLO is coming next…] One thing I’m liking about the left nowadays, is that I see them attacking Trump on principled grounds (morally). I don’t really share their principles, but it’s different than is typical, where discourse is limited to some “calculus” over how different ways checkers get moved……...
Read MoreGrains Aren’t Grown, Processed, or Eaten Equally, So The Paleo Narrative is Essentially False on That Score
Well, glad to have created a bit of a stir so far, given the last post on this topic: How Wheat Went From Superfood To Liability.
I really could not be happier that Tom "Fat Head" Naughton decided to advance the discussion: Ancient Wheat Was Superfood? While Tom still concludes by being unpersuaded, his treatment is very fair, and when you read the comments, they're very constructive (Duck and I have been in there, and there's a cameo by Tatertot). It reminds me of a conversation Tom and I had way back about why he chose to keep his stand up comedy routines PG. Do take a look.
