I'm doing all animal products. So beef, pork, seafood, dairy (high fat items like cream, cheese, etc), eggs. I will also occasionally have a few blueberries or strawberries.
I used to make kefir and yogurt (I made the high fat version, half milk and half cream) but after a while I just wasn't interested anymore. Meat (fatty beef in particular, I eat a lot of high fat ground beef) is something I never, ever get tired of.
I'm thinking about cutting back on the dairy.
Absolutely. My advice - keep a list! There will be so many problems that resolve, that you'll forget. You want to keep a good list so you can tell people about it, and also to help keep you on carnivore, even when temptation comes along.
What kind of carnivore are you - full on meat only, or all animal products (dairy, eggs)?
I used to have insomnia occasionally. I'd wake up in the middle of the night, and not be able to get back to sleep for 2, 3, or 4 hours.
A couple months after starting the carnivore diet, I realized, "hey...I never wake up at night anymore".
Are you asking me, specifically, why I'm not not a believer in the safety/efficacy of vaccines in general?
If so, as a starting point I'd point you to the recent interview that Aaron Siri gave on the Dark Horse podcast (with Brett Weinstein). The interview was fascinating. It's not where I started, but it's a good intro and it's very recent.
Looks fascinating, be sure and give us a report after you check them out!
Looking at it a bit more - they need to work on their website. A site they point to a lot (https://btcnyc.github.io/) is not working.
I see...it was clear in my head but not in my post.
Anyway, my original position (pre 2020) was pro-vaccine, all of them. I had a yearly reminder in my calendar to get the flu shot every fall, and did, without fail.
And then after a couple months of covid insanity and medical tyranny in 2020, I started to realize that the pro-vaccine propaganda was just that - propaganda. I started reading up on it. This particular book was recently referenced in an interview by Aaron Siri.
It's a great read. I learned about this book on the recent interview that Aaron Siri gave on the Dark Horse podcast (Brett Weinstein). The interview was really fascinating.

Aaron Siri was talking about his own book (Vaccines, Amen), which I plan to read as well.
In the article you mention, "five errors" are listed, that Forrest Maready supposedly made in The Moth in the Iron Lung.
This is the first one mentioned in the article:
“Before the developments associated with the 20th century, almost all children were exposed to poliovirus during infancy, largely due to poor sanitation conditions. Sewage entered watersheds without treatment transporting the polio virus into rivers, lakes, streams and thus direct into the water supplies. Indirectly, polio virus passed through the food chain and could be traced even in milk supplies. Due to the low case:infection ratio of infants, and due to protection from transplacentally acquired maternal antibodies, paralysis was rare amongst young children, although the disease itself was endemic. Because of their exposure to polio at an early age, infected infants acquired immunity to the disease thereby protecting them in later life.”
Maready specifically refutes this exact argument in the book.
Many have suggested that improvements in sanitation caused the rise in paralytic polio. It has been proposed that advances in water quality and sewage systems created a reservoir of children that did not gain natural immunity to the poliovirus infection at a young age—as had happened in previous generations. This may seem to make sense on the surface, but does not stand up to even a trivial amount of scrutiny. The illness was called infantile paralysis for an obvious reason—infants were targeted time and again, as were children. It is unclear how improvements to sanitation could simultaneously prevent children from exposure and target them more frequently than anyone else.
What's inconsistent? Pre covid vaxx - I was basically positive on vaccines in general.
Post covid vaxx - eyes wide open to the propaganda. Never got it. Never gonna get another flu shot.
Cancer is a disease of civilization. Meaning - it was very, very uncommon before modern foods (excess consumption of grains, sugars, etc) became common.
An interesting book on this topic by Vilhjalmur Stefansson is, appropriately enough Cancer Disease of civilization?
Published in the early 1900's, he goes through the very detailed records from the first missionaries that lived among the native tribes of Canada. Cancer was completely unknown until maybe the 1930's after they'd had some decades of eating foods like flour and sugar.
Yes, I wonder what the process is like, for taking a dot org site down.
I'll bet there's lots of companies putting lots of money into that effort...
I just talked to a friend of mine, a nurse. She actually leads "healthier living" groups at a VA hospital, trying to help people eat healthier and get more exercise.
She was pretty skeptical about the changes. "Whole fat milk!", scary!
Yes, we've had the carnivore discussion. I don't engage on that topic anymore.
I think ESPECIALLY if people work in health care - unless they're skeptical, open-minded and curious - they've had 50 years of propaganda telling them that whole milk, meat, butter, etc, are unhealthy. They're not going to turn on a dime, or indeed ever.
Really interesting, thanks for the comment. If you'd ever want to explore that in more detail, I think lots of people would be interested, I certainly would.
And...yes, tallow is much more expensive. However at a personal/home level, it can be super cheap. Far cheaper than butter.
How's that? Here's what I do. I buy beef fat trimmings from a local grocery store. I only pay $0.49 a pound, and sometimes they give it away.
I render the fat trimmings into tallow. So overall, with maybe 50 percent waste, I'm paying $1/lb.
Wonder when/if mesh network will come into play.
