@jiri Yes let's be grateful for another day on this planet! But I suspect there is more than you can do apart from low vA and avoiding doing anything stupid.

Maybe spending more time in Croatia as you did? I think I shall try that or similar! I am very optimistic for us today!

@ourania yeah it was great in Croatia, but that job in the kitchen was crazy in summer heat.. For sure I need to move from this apartment building with TV towers on the roof. All that EMF boils my brain..

@wavygravygadzooks So for the last time. Nothing unnatural or unhealthy to be vascular if those veins are not damaged varicose veins that can create blood clots. Just look at some native black people in Africa, South America etc.. They are all vascular like dr. Cassar. THey have just little less muscle mass so the veins are not that extra visible.. Anyway bodybuilding is extremely unhealthy and for sure I will not live long and healthy life that's for sure. I know that I have some build up in cardiovascular system from taking roids and messing with my LDL/HDL ratios, I know I had issues with low thyroid my whole life which also is huge reason for cardiovascular disease. All I can do now is just not doing anything stupid zero drugs, alcohol etc. and just to be grateful for another day on this planet..

This is true. My one brother is very vascular but he has almost no fat and does physical job. I think when you are very lean and then have muscles the veins pop out like that. I have visible veins more or less some days on my neck too my neck is pretty thin. Not much fat there. I am a waitress so I work quite physically too

 

The thin Africans without veins is I think because they are malnourished and have no muscle mass because they dont get enough protein....

This just in from Saladino: 50% of people are deficient in Vitamin A and 100% of people should be subsidizing his sugar-infused surf bum lifestyle!

 

Hey Heart & Soil Tribe 

 Did you know that

 90% of people don’t get enough Choline…

 or nearly 50% of people don’t get enough Vitamin A?

Crazy but true. 

It’s what we call a micronutrient inadequacy...

And it affects pretty much everyone who isn’t eating organs.

And in contrast to a micronutrient deficiency which leads to overt symptoms… 

A micronutrient inadequacy can lead to covert symptoms that are difficult to detect clinically… 

Like fatigue, brain fog, poor sleep or worse.

Thankfully, our supplements are the perfect solution to this modern problem...

And can fix this in as little as 3 days.

That's what happened when Kevin took the plunge and purchased his first bottle of this product:

In THREE DAYS my eczema (my big red blemishes on my leg and torso that were on me for years in the same spots)… COMPLETELY disappeared. 

In 3 damn days! 

If the supplements are doing that radical of a change on the outside of my body… I can only imagine the good it is doing for my insides… 

So far this has been a great experience and I tell so many people about this. I feel like I’m doing something so good for my body. Thank you Heart & Soil! These little pills are NO BS!

Thankfully, Kevin’s body responded rapidly to the super bioavailable nutrients in this product…

And to be honest, if you’re not getting organs in your diet, then we bet you have a micronutrient inadequacy like Kevin had…

Which will be impacting your energy levels, sleep quality, and maybe even aggravating more serious health issues…

In which case you’ll want to make like Kevin and pick up a bottle of this product too.

@wavygravygadzooks we need more time to see what will happen with Paul and all those carnivore people.. 2-3 years at least.. But if he will be ok 10 years later it will be clear that his body simply doesn't have any issue to eliminate any excess of vit A. For that he needs to keep that vit A intake in balance with other cofactors like vit D,K2,E, zinc, B vits, protein and also his bile production and flow to the colon needs to be perfect.. It can be done in my opinion.. But most people who start with high vit A diet already have all kinds of issues so they can't deal with excess of vit A...

His ferritin is raising on the fruit meat diet, I watched his latest blood work video. Not good. And he does not have hemochromatosis. But, no wonder. Sugar with meat is a disaster because sugar makes for many many times increased iron uptake.... Paul is doing blood donations iirc. So that might save him. But he will have to continue doing them or he will get into trouble.

I think his lifestyle could greatly help because he lives in nature with lots of sun and natural environment.

Someone else living less naturally, less sun, could get into big troubles doing what he does dietary. That is what is so sad. He makes it look like it is his supplements and diet who keeps him healthy, when in fact it is not.

Here's another newsletter from Saladino, this one is bordering on criminal...

Should you eat liver if you are pregnant? The Radical Health Newsletter #32 ________

Hello Heart & Soil Tribe   Last week we released Nourished - Nutritional Wisdom For A Healthy Pregnancy, our mini-doc all about animal-based diets during pregnancy. Following it’s release, many of you have asked about taking our supplements during pregnancy, and whether you should be concerned about eating liver because of Vitamin A… Well we’re going to address all in this week’s newsletter, including: Is it safe for pregnant women to take our supplements? Should you be concerned about getting too much Vitamin A from liver or our supplements? Why the RDA for Vitamin A is flawed, and why 10x the amount is probably better for you and your baby to thrive… Heads up, we might get technical at times, but this is a nuanced and important subject that requires it  First up… Is it safe to take our products while pregnant? The answer is yes!  While we can’t give specific medical advice for expecting mothers, thousands of women have found our supplements to be very beneficial before, during and after pregnancy…  And it’s important to remember that although we call them supplements and they come in a capsule…our products are still just real food! They undergo the strictest quality control procedures for safety and contamination… in fact we can reassure you that they are more rigorously tested than any food you'll find in a grocery store or restaurant! But what about liver and Vitamin A? Expecting moms are told to avoid liver because it’s high in Vitamin A, which is believed to increase the risk of birth defects…  But this belief is based on poor science which we will detail in this newsletter. The key point is that eating reasonable amounts of liver during pregnancy (whether fresh or in our products) will not deliver excess amounts of Vitamin A to cause concern… And is in fact the best way to ensure sufficient Vitamin A and other micronutrients so that mom and baby can THRIVE  You need Vitamin A for a healthy pregnancy One of the reasons Vitamin A is so important during pregnancy is because of its role in cell differentiation… That’s the process where stem cells transform into differentiated cells like heart cells, bone cells, and brain cells...  And for this differentiation to occur, Vitamin A needs to be available in sufficient quantity, and in the proper form (retinol).  The best source of Vitamin A isn’t carrots…  Liver is one of the best (if not THE best) sources of Vitamin A for both the quality and quantity of Vitamin A in it. The Vitamin A in liver comes in the super bioavailable retinol form that our bodies expect… And if you thought you could get Vitamin A from carrots, think again… Because carrots and other plant foods like sweet potatoes don’t contain true Vitamin A.  Instead, they have a precursor called beta-carotene, and it’s a crappy form of Vitamin A. Because not only must your body convert it from beta-carotene to vitamin A, but the conversion factor is poor, ranging from 3% to 10%.  Yet mainstream nutritional advice fails to make this important distinction… And still recommends pregnant women (and everyone else) get their vitamin A from vegetables (or synthetic supplements) instead of real bioavailable sources like beef liver  Okay so now that we’ve covered the whys and wheres of Vitamin A, let’s look at how much pregnant moms should be getting… How much liver to meet your RDA requirements? The official RDA (recommended daily allowance) of Vitamin A for women during pregnancy is approximately 2500 IU (international units).  And if you eat 3 oz of fresh liver once a week you will easily meet this RDA… Because in that small palm size amount is about 22,000 IU of vitamin A, a daily equivalent of 3142 IU. And how much Vitamin A is in our supplements? Well here’s Kelli with our Prenatal Stack: This incredibly nourishing stack provides about 6300 IU of the highest quality Vitamin A to expecting moms each day…  And that’s not even to mention all of the other nutrients like Choline, Folate, Iron, B Vitamins and Essential Fatty Acids...  Yowza!!! But is that not TOO much Vitamin A???  No! See the thing about RDAs is they sort of suck…  They were originally created during World War 2 as a bare minimum to help soldiers avoid disease… And yes, meeting your RDA will help you avoid a deficiency disease, but it isn’t enough for you and your growing baby to thrive.  And we aren’t soldiers looking to avoid a deficiency disease, we are moms looking to grow healthy babies!!! And in fact, we believe somewhere in the region of 10x the RDA may be a more optimal amount to shoot for (we’ll show you why)... But what about too much Vitamin A causing birth defects? Buckle up Betty, this gets technical  The worries about Vitamin A causing an increased risk of birth defects comes from a 1995 study where nearly 23,000 women got 10,000 IU+ of Vitamin A from supplements or processed foods during their first trimester and an increase in birth defects was observed…  But there were multiple flaws with the study (which you can read about here)... And the biggest problem was that it ignored the multiple studies that contradicted it: Contradictory Study #1 This 1990 study found that among 25,000 births, doses of vitamin A over 40,000 IU per day carried a 2.7-fold higher risk of birth defects, but doses of vitamin A up to 20,000 IU or between 20,000 and 40,000 IU both carried a 50 percent lower risk of birth defects compared to no supplementation at all… Contradictory Study #2 This 1996 study of 522,601 births found that the children of women supplementing with at least 10,000 IU of vitamin A in addition to a multivitamin had a lower risk of birth defects than those of women who did not supplement, although the association could not be distinguished from the effect of chance… Contradictory Study #3 This 1997 study of 1,508 births found no relationship between birth defects and use of vitamin A supplements, fortified breakfast cereals, organ meats or liver. Contradictory Study #4 This 1999 prospective study of 311 mothers who consumed between 10,000 and 300,000 IU of vitamin A in the first trimester and a similarly sized group that did not supplement with vitamin A found no evidence of an increased risk of major malformations with increasing dose. The median dose was 50,000 IU. The group as a whole had a 50 percent lower risk of major malformations than those who did not supplement, and there were no major malformations in offspring born to mothers consuming more than 50,000 IU. So yes, too much Vitamin A might be a problem (or might not based on those studies)... But not enough Vitamin A is definitely a problem.  And taking all the evidence into account, we believe 10,000 - 20,000 IU of vitamin A during pregnancy is not only probably safe, but is also probably going to reduce the risk of birth defects and improve overall health outcomes for mother and baby.
