Good on you.

Refinement.  LOL.  Posh friend got in argument with kid at big box store looking for "tops."  Couple rounds of questions as to what is a "top" before he spelled it.  "T-A-R-P."  Kid corrected pronunciation with "tarp."  Posh friend straightened him out with "We invented the language."  So angry over it.  Even funnier is Posh friend grew up in London after his parents moved from Mauritius.  His Dad's first language was Creole.  So snooty.  Amazing at cockney rhyming slang though.

Have you ever heard old English?

Hi Andrew,

Grant wrote in his 10 year summery that a lot people that took the covid shot had problems getting good results on the diet. It will depend on if or how many you had, espacially the boosters. Thats also my experience in my friends group, that a lot don´t get good results for a long time, or were on track but after the shots it went down a bit or a lot.  If you got the shot, that could also explain that the diet is not taking off for you for now. I write COULD, because this is just an observation and i remember Grant wrote this in his blog.

My pet theory is that we circulate VA to fight interlopers, including things like shots.

Hi Andrew. Thank you for your log. It's interesting that based on your food choices, you don't consume any omega-3 fatty acids. Additionally, you don't consume vitamin C, except for potatoes. I sometimes wonder if the severe condition I experienced was related to omega-3 deficiency. You mentioned beriberi, but did you experience symptoms of omega-3 or vitamin C deficiency? How often do you eat potatoes, and is it fresh?

@joe2 ha yes, I used to live in the east end myself - strong on the cockney rhyming slang. I can switch between posh-English and Essex / East End English at the drop of a hat depending on the company - makes it easier to converse. I don't like the new 'street gangster' London voice that's been around for the past 2 decades - I draw the line there. Old English as in Shakespearean? Or Old English as in Anglo-Saxon?

@andreas-2 no covid shots for me.  However, I was given the BCG jab (for tuberculosis) around age 14-15 (2005-ish) that was administered at school. Knowing what I know now, I wish I'd never consented to it. It might sound silly, but I haven't been content since around that age ... I sometimes wonder if it caused some kind of liver injury and maybe changed my life path / outlook - but then maybe I'm just trying to pin life difficulties on something else, rather than poor decisions and environmental happenstance.

@lil-chick interesting thoughts but I'm not so sure. Retinol is certainly found in the adjuvants of many shots - the shots actually put more of the stuff into us. Also, like the terminator: vA cannot be bargained with, it cannot be reasoned with, it absolutely will not stop, ever ... unless we follow a depletion diet, hopefully 😉  

@daniil thanks for your thoughts. I'm not too sure about essential fatty acids ... or too sure about the necessities of vitamin C (as long as animal protein is being consumed). Grant actually has an interesting post on vitamin C as a counter-note on his blog. In terms of symptoms - I have looked them up and I can say that only fatigue and dry hair, and other non-specific symptoms like difficulty sleeping, are the symptoms that seem to match up - which could be down to all sorts of things. From the below:

  • Vitamin C - easy bruising, swollen / bleeding gums, muscle pain, slow wound healing - I don't experience any of these.
  • Omega 3 - dry skin, dry brittle nails that are soft / peeling, joint pain etc. etc. - I don't experience any of these either.

There could be something in it though, perhaps I should think on this more. Many thanks.

Teacher read Chaucer's Miller's Tale to us in Old English.  First ten minutes were rough.  We all complained.  Too hard to understand.  Thought it jibberish.  He insisted we just relax, sit back, listen.  Promised no test.  Just listen.  Pretty quick we were full in to it.  Room roared when we heard it through.  Guys in their third year of German grokked it first and best.  

Crazy part - when we walked out of the room and heard all the talk in the halls, none of it made sense to us.  We were still thinking in Old English.  More German than English.
