New interview with Dr. Garrett Smith

@jiri I just learned this week that my great grandparents were from Silesia, which seems to be an area that the borders change and it isn't Germany now? They spoke German and had German last names. They came in the late 1800's . Would love to hear anything you might have to say about this. My great grandfather made beer and wine in his spare time.Â
Nice. But I am really bad in history.. You will learn more if you go on wikipedia and read something there about Silesia.. 🙂
Most people who criticize Garrett don't really understand the difficulty in trying to make your living online. You have to get people's attention and sometimes that means being extreme. But peal that away and it is awesome that he is so fervently pursuing this theory. In the end, it will either be right or wrong and we will all benefit.
Yeah the poeple here criticising Garrett for not giving away his content, are free loaders who expect things for free. Like peasants and full of hate.
They fail to see that his paid products are great for the lay person who doesn’t have the time or capacity to dig deep in this topic and figure out how to heal and put it all together.
Just sharing some additional info regarding Scurvy
Scurvy was not at all common among WWII POWs from the Far East after living on a diet of almost exclusively white rice for 3 ½ years.
Consequences of captivity: health effects of far East imprisonment in World War II

In this report, the term scurvy is not even mentioned, nor is xerophthalmia.
But, remarkably, even after 50 years post release these POWs had lower total cholesterol.
An intriguing UK report described a comparison between FEPOWs and Burma Campaign veterans, 50 years after the end of the war. The Burma veterans were of similar age and had fought in the same geographical areas as the FEPOWs, but of course were not imprisoned. Rates of IHD were similar in both groups, but lipid profiles were significantly better in the FEPOWs—in particular total cholesterol was lower, and HDL cholesterol higher (compared with the Burma veterans).83,84 The reasons for this intriguing finding are uncertain, but may again reflect the beneficial ‘survivor effect’ in FEPOWs.
Here’s another interesting tidbit on scurvy.
Boiled and, more particularly, sterilized milk, is regarded as a common cause of infantile scurvy and figures prominently among foods held accountable for the disorder.
"Scurvy, Past and Present" by Alfred F. Hess. Published by Good Press. 2019
There are some interesting details provided about how the incidence rates of scurvy correlated to the higher temperature and longer duration of the pasteurization process used.Â

Did the POV's all have beriberi after 3 years of eating only rice??
Quote from Jiřà on July 3, 2020, 11:11 pm@tim-2 exactly. "white rice will give you beri beri". Yeah millions and millions and millions of people in asia are basically walking beri beri hehe.. They eat like 500g of white rice a day as a main source of calories..
Well, if you actually check Smith source for this: Derrick Lonsdale MD then that's actually the case. He's looking into this from like 20 years. He say that you're probably not thiamine deficient if you completely avoid alcohol and refined carbs and sweets.
Same like vitA, blood tests for thiamine are useless. The only test showing deficiency properly is "Erythrocyte Transketolase" but it's almost impossible to find laboratory performing it...
I started following him after supplementation of 100mg (like 80 times RDA) of allithiamine per day finally returned my morning oral body temperature to 36.6°C and I'm finally felling warm after years of constant internal coldness. Before supplementing with it I was eating for over half a year low vitA showing on average 250% RDA for thiamine, I'm not sure about others but for me it did not help. And I "returned" from like 35.9°C averages. First eating around 15 grams of salt per day pushed it to around 36.2°C and then allithiamine to 36.6°C. Now my body temperature is stable from last 4-5 months and I'm really happy about this. I'll be supplementing allithiamine for next 6 months (one year in total as Lonsdale suggest).

More history about white rice: https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/rice-disease-mystery-edo-tokyo-navy-beriberi
From this article:
The result was deadly. During the Russo-Japanese War in 1904, beriberi killed 27,000 soldiers, compared to 47,000 men killed by actual war wounds. Finally, barley became a vital battlefield ration. The source of a disease that had ravaged Japan’s leadership and kneecapped the military was identified. It was the country’s staple crop, everyday meal, and cultural touchstone: simple white rice.
@matrixik Yes if you are eating nothing but white rice you will get beri beri. But if you eat pork with it for example like most people in asia do + some vegetables. You will not get beri beri. I will say it again like 30% of people on this planet eat white rice as main source of calories. Does it look like they are dying from beri beri? Athletes like cyclists, runners are eating crazy amounts of simple sugars during exercise and a lot of white rice as a main carb source(because they can eat a lot of it and it is easy to digest). They are also all dying from beri beri? No, because they eat also other grains like oats or pork or even take some multivitamin. They have more than enough of B vitamins to process all that sugar.. So again saying "eating white rice will give you beri beri" is misleading and not true. "eating only white rice can deplete your thiamine and that can cause beri beri" is true and correct statement..
