COVID Mandates Crumbling; I've Found Justin Trudeau!

"This is the Ottawa I'm seeing." -Dr. Julie Ponesse

Denmark, England, Sweden, and Norway have dropped their COVID restrictions or soon will. 

OSHA dropped its vaccine mandate on employees of companies with 100 or more employees after coming in second at the Supreme Court, and Indiana with 15 other states is suing the federal government over the remaining vaccine mandate for Medicaid/Medicare workers.

Iowa is ditching their mandates on February 15. As their governor puts it,

“We cannot continue to suspend duly enacted laws and treat COVID-19 as a public health emergency indefinitely. After two years, it’s no longer feasible or necessary. The flu and other infectious illnesses are part of our everyday lives, and coronavirus can be managed similarly,” stated Gov. Reynolds. “State agencies will now manage COVID-19 as part of normal daily business, and reallocate resources that have been solely dedicated to the response effort to serve other important needs for Iowans.”

Most people understand that life has to go on, but the Covidian devout are apoplectic. COVID still exists! Lockdowns have never really been tried! We might have to go back to the office! And above all, the unvaccinated will go unpunished! I'm paraphrasing the last two, and I'll add another that's surely on their minds: masks will soon look ridiculous. Double masks will look doubly ridiculous and hiding in your basement will just mean you're weird.

Truckers and other protestors are getting various Canadian provinces off the dime. Legacy media, when they cover the protests, claim hate and violence, but the coverage I've seen from people I was already familiar with have described a clean, peaceful, joyful atmosphere in Ottawa. Viva Frei, a lawyer, has done some live streams on site and Dr. Julie Ponesse, a philosophy professor who was fired for refusing vaccination, has been there. 

I say provinces are getting off the dime because the prime minister is still in hiding. But I had a feeling I knew where he was, and I was right: he's hiding under the desk with Canadian professor Gad Saad.

My Long-Term Experience Eating Safe (and Other) Starches

Years ago, before the Perfect Health Diet came out, I followed a program that involved eating quite a bit "safe starch." It was called Body for Life. It involved eating six small servings of carbohydrate along with six small servings of protein, plus two servings of fibrous vegetables per day. (A serving was the size of your fist or the palm of your hand.) There were six workouts a week (three weightlifting, three cardio) and one free day every week where you ate whatever you wanted and didn't exercise. In all fairness, these two programs are different: BFL allows certain grains, legumes and low-fat dairy and discourages fat. It doesn't call for a wheelbarrow full of vegetation. Nevertheless, my experience eating lots of fruit and lots of starch is relevant to the PHD because the amount and type of digestible carbohydrates are similar, and for the first few years, I didn't eat wheat except on free days. At first on BFL, I felt great. Before, I was continually...

Blog Lineup Change

Bye-bye, Fathead. I've enjoyed the blog, but can't endorse the high-fat, high-carb Perfect Health Diet that somehow makes so much sense to some otherwise bright people. An astrophysicist makes some rookie mistakes on a LC diet, misdiagnoses them, makes up "glucose deficiency," and creates a diet that's been shown in intervention studies to increase small LDL, which can lead to heart disease. A computer programmer believes in the diet and doesn't seem eager to refute it because, perhaps, scientists are freakin' liars and while he's good at spotting logical inconsistencies, lacks some intermediate knowledge of human biology. To Tom's credit, he says it's not the right diet for everyone, but given the truckload of food that has to be prepared and eaten, impracticality of following it while traveling (or even not traveling), and unsuitability for FODMAPs sufferers, diabetics and anyone prone to heart disease (i.e., much of the population), I'm...

Carrageenan: A Sickening Thickener. Is it a Migraine Menace?

Let me tell you about my ride in an ambulance last night. I woke up at six o'clock from a nap with a mild headache. I ate dinner and took my vitamins, along with a couple of extra magnesium pills. Since magnesium helps my TMJ flare-ups, I thought it might help my headache. Then I went to see my mother. A few hours later, I had a severe headache, sinus pain and nausea. During a brief respite from the pain, I left for home, but less than a mile later, I got out of my car and threw up. A cop, Officer Fisher, pulled up behind me and asked if I was okay. He believed me when he said I hadn't been drinking, but he said I seemed lethargic and he wanted the paramedics to see me. (Later he mentioned that a man he'd recently stopped was having a stroke.) Thinking I had a migraine headache, the paramedics wanted to take me to the hospital. But since I knew that doctors don't know what causes migraine headaches, and I didn't know what effect their medicine would have on m...
