Neurological disease is the #1 cause of disease burden globally.

Yes, you can prevent it.

We were told “the mind is a terrible thing to waste”.
Then they filled our food supply with poisons to waste our minds.

The year was 2001. I was sitting in my primary care's office after a long day at work. I was there for a routine checkup. Back then I didn't mind visiting my doctor. Kim was nice, sharp, quick, and a professing Christian like myself. She was almost like a big sister to me. I usually enjoyed the visits. But not that day. In fact I wasn't enjoying much of anything. I was in a dark place and she knew me well enough to pick up on the fact that something was seriously wrong. I imagine I must have said something to suggest I was not going to be a citizen of Earth much longer due to her next set of actions.

Kim asked me to step into her real office —not the exam room. I assumed she wanted to talk about what was bothering me. After I entered her office she asked me to give her a moment. It was there she made a phone call. To whom, I didn't know. I wasn't really paying attention because I was focused on the darkness that was swallowing me. Kim asked if I was willing to take a drive with her. Again, I assumed she just wanted to chat to figure out what was going on with me. Before I knew it, we were at the hospital. Kim said she needed to first meet with a few colleagues so I followed her in. While I had visited this hospital in the past, I quickly realized I was in an unfamiliar section. I followed Kim into a room and inside a few people were waiting. The door closed. Kim broke the news that I was staying and she was leaving. She stated that she was concerned for my safety so I was being involuntarily committed. That hit me like a ton of freaking bricks. I remember anger boiling up inside of me, at her, and at everyone including God. Frankly, I didn't even care that I was being committed. I was so focused on the sudden betrayal by a friend that being committed to a suicide prevention center didn't even register in my mind. The betrayal on the other hand, that was like a knife in the back, twisted and turned until it reached my beating heart. I was in crisis mode and for some reason Kim thought I was worth saving. I didn't share her perspective.

Twenty-four hours later the darkness lifted and I was authorized to leave. This was based on the condition that I would see a psychiatrist —who prescribed some happy pills for me to take. While the pills did alter my mood into a zen-like state, they also encouraged suicidal thoughts. The pills made me indifferent to the idea of ending my own life. The experience was trippy as hell so I ditched the pills and after a few sessions, the psychiatrist.

If you've read my book then you already know I experienced the sort of terror that would pillage the fear from any Hollywood horror flick. This is partly the reason why I refuse to watch horror movies. To me, none of them are actually scary as they all pale in comparison to the real supernatural evil that exists. A terrorized childhood and an extremely stressing young adulthood does something to a person. I can say first hand that I know what it is to experience mental illness. The day I was admitted to the psych ward was the day I was going to end it all. It was by God's grace that I didn't. To this day, I still don't know what happened in that ward to cause me to want to live again. At least nothing physical or natural that I could attribute the change to.

While there are rare cases such as mine resulting from extremely traumatic events such as being haunted by demons as a child, I don't believe that most cases of mental illness —which comes in different forms— can be contributed to such experiences. Like many things in our modern world we've all been led to believe that mental illness is simply a part of life, often the result of stress, brain chemistry, age, the environment or even genetics. But the truth is scientists don't really know what causes mental illness and that's a hard fact.

Despite the overwhelming body of research to which new findings are added almost every day, we scientists still don’t understand what happens in the brains of mentally ill people. We don’t really know yet which brain regions and connections are malformed or undeveloped, or when the brain goes awry or why. 1

We've all seen this movie before. A new disease or illness arises, the causes are virtually unknown but, the general public is provided with so-called associated risk factors that are believed to act as contributors to the illness. Your job is to bob and weave in between all of the risk factors throughout your life in order to avoid the illness despite not knowing what actually makes you ill. Tell me if that makes any logical sense. As always, there are no cures, but there are plenty of treatments. None of them free.

The victims of today's illnesses can find their entire life savings wiped out seeking treatment while researchers and pharmaceutical companies make billions in their pursuit of creating a "cure". All of this comes at an extraordinary expense to humanity. In the United States alone that moneybag weighs in at approximately $282 billion annually in costs to the economy from mental health illnesses alone.

In just North America, the psychotropic drug market is expected to reach USD 13.5 billion by the year 2032.2

There's an incredible amount of money to be made when a society is sick whether physically, mentally, or even spiritually. I often wonder what our modern day world would look like if the energy, money and resources that are used in an attempt to improve our health weren't directed towards such an initiative. Especially considering that the majority of illnesses we face today —including mental illness— are of our own doing. You're just not supposed to know that little secret. Because the more you learn that most of our illnesses are fabricated the less likely you are to rely on the system that keeps this whole charade we call life going at our expense.

Fighting for your mind

I became seriously interested in mental health about two years ago. I was influenced by the carnivore community as I was seeking a way to heal my body once and for all. Over the years I noticed I was accruing what's known as "brain fog". My mental acuity started declining and I was struggling to find simple words to express myself when speaking. While I had other health issues that were concerning to me, this one truly tripped me out. It's all fun and games until your brain stops operating correctly.

Now, for normal mere mortals brain fog may go unnoticed or perhaps deemed insignificant. But I like to consider myself as one from the upper echelon of polymaths blessed with an insatiable proclivity and aptitude for learning. When this debauchery started I was running a YouTube channel that was practically academic in nature, enrolled in a school of theology, reading various educational books on the side, just published my own book and was working a full-time job as a product manager in tech. So obviously my brain deciding to take an unauthorized leave of absence sent me into a panic. I thought maybe I was doing too much and was burning out. I have a habit of that as I'm wired to work hard, take risks, and never rest. But doing less didn't seem to help. I then thought I needed to read and write more. Perhaps taking up a new language or memorizing more words from the dictionary will improve my cognition but I couldn't get anything to stick. Nothing I did solved the problem. In fact everything I tried made it worse. My melting brain felt as if I was trapped in a haze and for someone that used to be a lyricist —and a damn good one in my previous life— I was having trouble stringing basic sentences together.

This all changed when I went carnivore. I had read about the healing effects on the brain from people who had switched to this WOE (way of eating). But the healing snuck up on me. I was a few months into my new WOE before I realized out of nowhere that I could think again. That my vocabulary was no longer made up of ums, uhs, likes, and dead silence as my brain searched feverishly for the word I was looking for to complete a thought. I also noticed my mind was no longer racing which seemed to make it easier for me to snatch appropriate words from the super highway of the english language. The fog was lifting and it was amazing. This gave me evidence that our brains can indeed heal if provided the right nutrients and a healthy environment. It also revealed to me that the brain can be damaged by the very foods we eat. Yes, even the so-called healthy ones.

Whole Lies 🌿

Before I switched to carnivore I was a "health nut". The last time I ate the standard American diet I was a child. I transitioned into carnivore from what would be considered the healthiest diet on the planet. I ate plenty of leafy greens, nuts, seeds, grains, colorful vegetables and abstained from simple carbohydrates. I tracked my macros and caloric intake. I didn't eat sweets, avoided pork, only ate lean meats such as baked chicken, turkey and salmon. I ate superfoods, chased antioxidants, drank beet juice, and ingested minimal fruits and almost a gallon of water per day. This was my diet for years —the healthy whole foods diet. Along side this diet I also weight trained several times a week. My friends and co-workers were mesmerized by my discipline to stick to such a regimen. They would come to me for meal prep and workout advice. I honestly could've started a health and fitness business like thousands of others content creators if I really wanted to. Nah...I wasn't feeling it.

I'll make this plain. That way of eating was toxic and over the years my body was deteriorating. I've since learned that the "healthy diet" is precisely why so many people who do eat this way an attempt to avoid diseases still end up with the very same diseases they were trying to avoid. I believe this is chiefly due to two factors.

The first is this garbage "whole foods" psyop diet idea that is woefully deficient in healthy fats —and no coconut and avocado oil don't cut it. This WOE starves the body to include the brain of it's desired fuel source, wrecks the endocrine system, elevates insulin levels and eventually can lead to a mitochondrial disease effecting the brain, pancreas, liver, heart, nerves and more. The second issue that is often left out of the discussion concerning a healthy diet, is that these "whole foods" contain phytotoxins which slowly poison the body. The current education system ensures we're ignorant about food but all of those ancient neanderthal grunts were completely knowledgeable. It's how we've survived for thousands of years as a human race. We're not told you can't cook out all of the toxins or that nutrients in plants are locked and not bioavailable to humans. Great! Kale has folate and vitamin B6 —that you're not getting much of— but you're also not told it's an accumulator of toxic metals that your body will store. I’m living proof of such accumulation as I’ve been oxalate dumping for an entire year. You're not told that a plant's defense chemicals keep nutrients locked up in the plant. People often think everything is fine because the toxins we ingest are in tiny doses. However, they fail to realize that when your diet is 95% plant based you're not ingesting tiny doses of poison. You're downing large, vast amounts of poison. Every fake milk, alcohol, hot or cold cereal, cup of coffee, tea, spice, french fry, dessert, piece of chocolate, protein bar, seed, grain or nut comes from plants. Plants that create toxins to defend themselves. Toxins that wind up in the body, overloading it.

We're not even told the idea of "vegetables" is made up. There's no such thing as vegetables people. There's only fruits which house seeds and then there are plants. Vegetables are nothing more than a marketing ploy to get people to eat foods of scarcity like a bunch of starving peasants because it's cheaper to mass produce. The downside is that it makes people sick, physically and mentally.

Plant toxins accumulate in the body and often lead to autoimmune diseases. The seriousness of this issue is often overlooked. If you haven't, I highly recommend watching the talk by Dr. Anthony Chaffee, Plants are Trying to Kill You. The title is purposely provocative to drive the point home. Today, many people have an emotional attachment to food thanks to addiction and indoctrination. This causes them to act irrational and continue to eat what kills them despite the biological facts concerning plant life. This is a form of mental illness.

Malnutrition and toxicity can lead to various neurological disorders. It's no different than the effects endured after years of substance abuse. After all, toxins are poisons. Poisoning the body doesn't improve health regardless of what all the health and nutrition blogs and influencers tell you. And over time, the steady ingestion of these defensive chemicals coupled with the lack of nutrition will begin to erode the mind along with the body.

According to the most comprehensive neurological study to date, diabetic neuropathy is the fastest-growing of all neurological conditions. Neurological conditions are also the leading cause of ill health and disability globally. And the number of people living with, or dying from, neurological conditions such as stroke, Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, and meningitis has risen substantially over the past 30 years.3

Just like the issue of metabolic dysfunction, this change started over the last few decades. Clearly, something is happening to our brains and pinning the cause on old age and genetics is beyond preposterous. Humans have always aged. It's part of life. All living things age. Aging doesn't equal the causation of any illness. The evidence shows that our health is in rapid decline all while scientists and doctors fumble around like people searching for a light switch in the dark. The cause alludes them all. But there is plenty of money to be made while humanity is culled while searching for fake cures.

The silver lining in all of this and the secret the giants don't want you to know, is that the brain holds a remarkable ability to heal itself. There are glimpses of this within the scientific literature. For example, it's now known that a Ketogenic Diet which consists of low-carbohydrates and high-fats and protein, can improve cognitive function in those with diseases caused by neuronal damage. 4

A recent study that was done on Parkinson's Disease (PD) induced mice provides a bit more evidence for the importance of such a Ketogenic Diet (KD). Part of the abstract reads:

Our results showed that a long-term medium-chain triglyceride KD (MCT-KD) significantly reduced MPTP-induced damage to dopaminergic (DA) neurons, exerted antioxidant stress through the PI3K/Akt/Nrf2 pathway, and reversed oxidative stress in DA neurons. The MCT-KD also reduced mitochondrial loss, promoted ATP production, and inhibited the activation of microglia to protect DA neurons in MPTP-induced PD mice. MCT-KD altered the gut microbiota and consequently changed the metabolism of substantia nigra neurons through gut microbiota metabolites. ... This study shows that MCT-KD has multiple protective effects against PD.

Could the many mental health issues and neurological diseases we are all facing be blamed on the foods we eat? It's quite telling that by just adjusting one's diet to consume the very foods we've all been programmed to hate —meat and saturated fats— the brain can heal and protect itself against disease. Should we really be surprised that eating toxic foods for our entire lives results in neurological disorders? Do we live in the Upside Down?

I am one example of someone who has managed to regain cognitive function by eating the foods deemed bad for our health and ditching the so-called healthy, scarcity foods of modern-day peasantry. Yes, the class system is real. It’s why most people in the United States alone are in debt. But as a member of the carnivore community I constantly see examples of other individuals who've also managed to heal a litany of neurological issues:

Slowly, one by one, people are awakening to the fact that we've all been lied to. The reason why the human race has become so incredibly ill is because of the recent change to a poor, nutritionally deficient, and toxic diet from a superior, species appropriate diet.

A fictitious narrative of the great agricultural age that alleviated humanity from the stresses of the hunter gatherer life and starvation was spun up and sold to each and every one of us. I've written about this false narrative of human progression before. Paint a horrific picture of a past you and I never lived and it will influence us to believe that anything in the present is progress.

Every day, millions if not billions of people are attempting to sustain the human body on scavenger food, seasoned, sweetened and doctored up to keep the gag reflex from activating while choking down toxic plants. But the body is smart. It will try to store and compartmentalize the toxins in a fight for survival. Just before you reach middle age is when it can no longer keep up and the toxicity begins tearing down the body. You find yourself allergic to foods you could once eat, and allergic to the earth in general with seasonal allergies. You notice joint pains, body stiffness, poor sleep, memory problems, skin issues, autoimmune concerns, digestive problems, migraines, uncontrollable weight gain, metabolic syndrome, issues with your gait and more. You're told that it's just old age or genetics. There's a pill or injection for that. It is at this point, after making Big Food billions of dollars from eating scavenger food, that we're transitioned into the hands of Big Pharma in hopes they will cure whatever is ailing us, or at least give us "medicine" to help us cope. However, the joke is on us as we continue to ingest the poisons that are making us all sick while seeking treatment for the diseases we bring on ourselves. Eventually, as you're moved down the line for eventual slaughter you wind up feeble and severely neurologically damaged. You become a liability for the human race and no longer a productive asset. This cycling of "in with the new and out with the old" keeps the machine going and works to keep population growth from getting out of hand. It provides a sort of calculable balance to the world economy. It is a means to budget a global society. People produce energy and energy makes money. So you and I are told that no one has a cure for today's diseases and no one knows the cause, meanwhile the elite are benefiting from our demise.

Well... at least that's what the giants want you to think. I believe the chief cause for mental illness is right under our noses —literally. And it is the same cause for most of the diseases humanity is currently facing. You don't need the scientific or medical community to tell you to stop eating toxic foods if you want to keep your mind and body intact. But you do need them to coach you on what drugs to take when you begin to lose them.

It's your mind and we only get one. Fight like hell to keep it. Because once it’s completely gone, that’s it. And the system will move on to the next child for grooming and energy siphoning into old age.
