For anyone who believes in the superiority of man over nature as evidenced by our conquest of plants and animals to make our regular food, understand this. We did not domesticate sugar. We did not domesticate wheat.

With our help, sugar and wheat rank among the most evolutionarily successful species on the entire planet. They have been a primary impetus for intersocietal war and slave labor since we discovered them. We actively ignore and hurt each other and ignore and hurt our own bodies because of crops that hijack our brain’s reward system to literally make us fatter and lazier, less able to employ higher cognitive processing necessary for social understanding and therefore more fearful and exploitative of each other, so that they can spread their seed throughout the world.

Since the Neolithic Revolution, all humans across colors and creeds have spent the majority of our time and effort and social organization and theological narratives nurturing wheat, and fighting each other for the purpose of nurturing wheat. And sugar. (Prioritized at a much later point in history.)

Parts of our diet that were originally terribly hard for us to come by and calorically worthwhile have monopolized our lives and consumption, and thrown our entire bodies and socioeconomic interactions out of whack.

Today, we’re told that we are genetically PREDISPOSED to illness from what we consume despite the fact that, over the blink-of-an-eye evolutionary timeline that we’ve been manipulating and breeding our food to be markedly more glycemic and more immediately accessible to our mouths by orders of magnitude, we ourselves have remained by comparison genetically IDENTICAL to human beings tens of thousands of years ago.

They have domesticated us.

This is an educational process I’m excited to embark on because the incidence of symptom suites categorized as lifetime, uncurable chronic illness has skyrocketed in recent years, which doesn’t make sense epidemiologically.

We don’t just suddenly in the course of a few years have many, many immutable pathologies spring up out of nowhere — which means it’s a sign of an industry that is incentivized to just throw up their hands and say, “Well, that’s that, it looks like y’all are never getting better.”

Even HIV — with the right approach, we’re learning about elite control populations and how we can divert attention from our wallets to develop ourselves to have significant resistance to one of the most formidable viruses history. Eventually, those of us who have it can become symbiotic with it, as we’ve explicitly learned from evolutionary genetics has happened in the past.

If I can’t cure myself of eczema as I found a way through ulcerative proctitis, then I’m as uninformed and primitive as the lazy profit system that controls modern medicine, and that’s a conclusion I simply cannot agree with as long as I’m alive.

Not while so many people in every part of the world are suffering from the same dying bank of historically indispensable knowledge about the relationship between our own bodies and agriculture, and about the power that commerce has to replace truthful knowledge with capital.

“Disease begins in the gut.” — Hippocrates, Father of Modern Medicine.

Many friends and family of mine are providers and distributors and financiers of pharmaceutical medicine, and I love them, but they support my and others’ dependence on drugs because they refuse to believe they are a cog in an ineffective behemoth, and I have to help change that.

Ultimately, I’m motivated to figure all this out because my kids will inherit my genes, and I refuse for them to have to deal with the debilitating stress of chronic illness.

So.

If you carry thalassemia and are anemic,

If you’ve been diagnosed with cancer,

If you have diabetes,

If you have a thyroid that people tell you is confused or under-functional,

If you have colitis,

If you show atopy via eczema and/or asthma and/or hay fever,

If you have coeliac,

If you are depressed,

If you are increasingly reactive to food and chemicals our economy demands you use and enjoy,

Know that you can run marathons and power-lift. Know that you can increase your mental acuity and empathy and sex drive. Know that you and your kids can be healthy and happy if you:

Go gluten-free

Introduce more glutamine to your daily diet

Go sugar-free and stop eating and drinking “sugar-free” products

Introduce more collagen to your daily diet

Go exercise until you’re sweating and panting for at least 10 minutes every day, whether at the gym or on a floor

Introduce more fiber to your daily diet

Go talk to your doctor and ask them what they know about agriculture and nutrition, and whether the topics are a black box they refuse to touch

Introduce more water to your daily diet, and have it with lemon

Go read about your gut and your spine

Introduce more Vitamin C and B to your daily diet

Be a non-compliant patient and wean yourself off of the medications you’re taking while you’re doing everything listed above in tiny or large measure

Stop listening to our politics in either direction and believing that insurance is something you need either a ton or a little — and try for just a moment thinking about what it would feel like if you could take even the smallest of steps each day as listed above to improve your short-term and long-term health — and go without it entirely

Give in to the frustrated voice that says life isn’t worth living unless you are truly healthy, on your own terms. That you understand your own body better than any expert. That your intuition of trying new avenues peripheral to or completely apart from the beaten path of the same approach, over and over again, without results, is valid.

To your health,

Chris
