MORE Black Friday/Cyber Monday Deals

Maybe you've heard that Black Friday deals are nothing but a come-on this year. There may be some fake deals out there--there always have been. But I saved about $115 on supplements, groceries, vegetable seeds, and...primer.

$42.78 at iHerb.com
over $10 at Vitacost
$4.70 on Burpee vegetable seeds
$45 on a free bottle of Ideal Immunity probiotics
$12.50 on a gallon of Kilz primer at Ace Hardware

I posted a link to my previous post at the Inner Circle, and some of the members added links to even more great deals. Thank you, members natural1 and saukriver!

ANOVA Sous vides are on sale for up to 60% off. I've never used a sous vide, but some people use them to make yogurt (among other things).

This one by Inkbird is 31% off on Ebay, and it's apparently quieter than the Anova.

A small Kitchen Aid food chopper is on sale for $45.

A larger Cuisinart food processor with slicing and shredding blades is on sale for $100 at Macy's and Amazon--the same price I paid for one 12 years ago, and it even comes with a second bowl now. Mine is still going.

Biotiquest (makers of Sugar Shift, Ideal Immunity, Heart Centered, Simple Slumber and Antibiotic Antidote probiotics) has a buy 2, get 1 free sale on all probiotics. Most of these contain B. subtilis DE111, the latest probiotic in the Dr. Davis arsenal. I ferment Ideal Immunity in shredded apples (combined with other ingredients).

Ulta Labs has 22% off all labs, and 50% off some labs including thyroid.

OmegaQuant, which tests the amount of EPA and DHA (omega-3) in your blood, is offering 20% off.

Dana Carpender's Podcast; Dr. Davis on YouTube; Labor Day Sales

Dana Carpender, who's written several recipe books and other works on low-carb, has a podcast and is still writing articles at carbsmart.com. She's a terrific writer and amateur researcher (otherwise known as reading , as Jimmy Dore jokes ). I use her book 500 Low-Carb Recipes all the time and I'm looking forward to hearing more from her. I've embedded her podcast on my blog (click on the three lines at the top right if you don't see it, or go to Spotify or other podcast source if you're getting this by email). Carbsmart.com doesn't seem to have a blog feed, so if you want to see the latest posts there, you can sign up for notifications at their site. Dr. Davis has been putting a lot more videos on YouTube, so I've added his channel to the lineup.

Fermented bread and butter pickle recipe ft. L. Plantarum

After Dr. Davis said the other night that L. plantarum may reduce some of the effects of the herbicide glyphosate (which is everywhere), I'm re-running my recipe for fermented bread and butter pickles. Pickling cucumbers naturally have L. plantarum bacteria on them, and fermenting them with some brown sugar multiplies these bacteria. (Just don't use chlorinated water to wash them.) And if you're growing your own cucumbers, avoid spraying the fruits with Bacillus thuringiensis , or Bt (leaves and vines are OK). It's unclear what effect a big dose of Bt would have on humans. Another benefit of DIY pickles: no emulsifiers like polysorbate 80, which is a common ingredient in pickles. If you have GI problems, it could be from emulsifiers. These sweet-and-sour pickles are the tastiest I've ever made. There's just a little added sugar (some of which the bacteria will consume) and turmeric that gives the pickles their bright color. Special equipment Quar...

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...
