So, besides the 40% of iron deficient vegans and the 52% of vegans who have a vitamin B12 deficiency, stuck on average at a third of normal B12 levels, there are an estimated 80% of vegans who have an iodine deficiency. Iodine deficiency is stereotypically seen as an obese thing, but the vegans demonstrate that’s not necessary. In fact, in male mice it makes them burn more fat.
And that’s kind of the problem I run into. If you feel tired all the time as a vegan, it could be ANYTHING. Maybe it’s the iodine, maybe it’s the B12, maybe it’s the zinc, maybe it’s the iron (78% of vegetarians in India are deficient), maybe it’s the omega 3 fatty acids, maybe it’s the wrong ratio of amino acids, maybe it’s a bit of everything.
Veganism is just not very healthy, but it’s hard to conclusively prove this scientifically, because people who suffer the negative health consequences, will just stop eating vegan after a while. And the exact problem is probably different in every vegan. One suffers iodine deficiency on it, the other suffers deficient iron, yet another just can’t absorb enough vitamin B12 from supplements, the next one has a zinc deficiency, another can’t convert enough ALA into DHA. And there are probably nutrients you’re getting in excess too (phytates?).
And it’s not easy to figure any of this stuff out either. Here’s an example of what I mean. I always thought “well I can’t have iron deficiency because they test my blood when I donate and my hemoglobin is always normal”. Well, it turns out that’s entirely useless to test on, because it will always be normal. Here’s the joke: Vegan men on average have the same hemoglobin as omnivores, but their serum feritin is at 50% of normal levels. Low feritin is linked to depression in men. And because your overall blood pressure as a vegan is generally lower too, you just have less blood overall in your body. A higher blood pressure is probably at least in part just a normal compensatory response by the body to aging.
Anyone who tells you we know what the normal range is is wrong, it’s going to differ between genders, between age groups, between ethnic groups etc. The WHO says we have a “low to very low overall certainty of the supporting evidence” on what a normal feritin level constitutes. So we just don’t know what’s normal. But if you see a level in a population that’s stuck at half of normal levels, it may be a problem.
So maybe that’s what’s wrong. Or maybe your body needs creatine, maybe you have that rare mutation that makes it hard for your cells to transport carnitine, maybe you need taurine, who the hell knows? And when you don’t know what the exact problem is, your best bet is to keep it simple. When you have a computer that doesn’t work, where you’ve tried just about everything but don’t have a clear easy identifiable fix left, your best bet is to switch to a new computer. So it is with nutrition.
And so we can argue over whether I am under demonic attack or whether vegans just need to be told to eat more seaweed, but I think I would keep it simple and say a diet that leads to clinical deficiencies in a single nutrient in 80% of its participants is just not a good diet. You shouldn’t have to worry while you’re eating over whether your body is converting enough ALA into DHA or not or whether you ate enough green pumpkin seeds to get your zinc and your amino acids.
The doctors generally don’t judge their patients decisions, but note what they don’t do: You don’t see them switching to vegan diets in droves themselves. If vegan diets were so healthy, that would be one of the first signs you would expect to see.
If veganism is supposed to save the world, it needs more than 1% of the population to participate. And if more than 1% of the population needs to participate, you shouldn’t need a PhD in nutrition to stay healthy on the diet. But they’re not healthy diets. They’re “you can kind of survive on this for a few years” diets. I want more out of life than to just survive in a neurotic manner.
I think there’s a simple rule that works relatively well in life, which is that in our modern day and age in which everyone has access to all available information, any idea that has convinced less than 5% of the adult population is just insanity.
Well, that’s veganism. If it was a good idea, it would have caught on by now. But it’s more like the carnivore diet: It’s a product of the culture wars, adhered to only by the chronically online. These are two bizarre mirror images of each other and some people actually end up cycling back and forth between them, losing their teeth on the vegan diet before losing their hair on the carnivore diet, while the average moron lives his life unimpeded by any of this nonsense.
>I want more out of life than to just survive in a neurotic manner.
After your testosterone stabilises from the animal fats, you’re going to want to start banging girls again, and eventually start a family.
The new world that is to be born needs WASPs and Aryans more than ever. Musk produced 12 or 13 so far (but one unfortunately went astray and became trans).

Hapas may be the way of the future. Quality Asian blood brings higher IQ and lower oxytocin. Therefore less vulnerability to the weaponized empathy that has all but destroyed the West. Also, Asians tend to be a bit more community-minded and balanced than Europeans. Western Europeans especially have proven throughout history that they are prone to rising to extraordinary heights, followed by falling to the lowest of the dark extremes. Asians on the other hand are prone to stagnation and conformity. The White blood can take care of that.
Globohomo propaganda has built a strawman out of “White Supremacy”. In reality, we have several quality categories of humans: First Class (Whites and East Asians), Second Class (Arabs and South Americans), Third Class (African Negroes, and Australian Abos being at the bottom of that). Indians from India are a strange mixture of very high quality and very low quality, and cannot be treated all the same. Russians also have to some extent the issue of high/low quality mix.
To have a Star Trek -class civilization, we simply need the First Class humans to work together.
No I am not hapa, nor do I have an Asian wife. I am blessed with a fantastic Eastern European woman. It’s hard to find that kind of quality though in large enough numbers (hundreds of millions!) to build a civilization. So many more White women are fat, degenerate and arrogant, compared to their Asian equivalents.
And now the evil idiotic puppeteers of the Western world are pushing the first-class people to destroy each other in WW3. Let’s hope we can do better.

If you want to hear a carnivore diet horror story, look no further than Frank Tufano, an Italian-American from NYC. He was doing the carnivore diet years before it ever went viral, long before people like Shawn Baker, Jordan Peterson and Mikhaila Peterson.
He eventually abandoned the diet after 7 years. He destroyed his liver seemingly due to nutrient overload (although he was on Accutane prior to the diet which also can cause liver damage) and also damaged his gut which caused chronic severe insomnia.
He has spent the last several years trying to heal. He has reintroduced plant foods and certain supplements and seems to have overcome a lot of the aforementioned health issues. Apparently water kefir is a super food that really helped him.
But unfortunately the story doesn’t end there. He also seems to suffer from BDD (body dysmorphic disorder). He wanted to get those “hunter eyes” that male supermodels have but unfortunately the surgeon botched the procedure and now he has been left possibly permanently cross-eyed with blurry vision.
It’s actually really sad because he was very good looking to begin with, here he is back in 2018 before he started experiencing health issues from the carnivore diet:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=h7NwEIm8WtY
He looks a bit like Luigi Mangione. A lot of people accused him of wearing makeup because his skin looked TOO perfect, but if you skip to the end of the video he wipes his face with a towel to prove that he’s not wearing any makeup.
And here he is after the botched eye surgery:
https://m.youtube.com/shorts/X0B22B9S9Es
Sad to see. Like you say, it definitely does seem to be a certain neurotic personality type drawn to these extreme diets. He also had long running feuds with other YouTubers. He and Vegan Gains used to make videos constantly bashing each other. There seemed to be quite a bit of projection as well. He was quite homophobic, but apparently there was this one time he was livestreaming and some kind of notification from a gay dating app flashed on the screen. He also sued another carnivore influencer named Paul Saladino for alleged plagiarism, and has had run-ins with the United States Department of Agriculture (he sells raw milk from Amish farmers on his website) and local law enforcement in NYC (I’m pretty sure they refused his application for a gun license).
Interesting guy, to say the least.
>He destroyed his liver seemingly due to nutrient overload (although he was on Accutane prior to the diet which also can cause liver damage) and also damaged his gut which caused chronic severe insomnia.
Tragic. Insomnia is hell on Earth.
Yeah I think we all need normal diets, a balance of meat and plants, with perhaps some dairy and eggs added. Maybe black women can thrive on a vegan diet, but I can’t.
I see many posts about your improving health in the future. This was you arguing against veganism in theory, soon enough you’ll disprove it in practice. More importantly, you’ll pull your health out of the gutter.
Thanks, I certainly hope so.
The first paragraph is the most carnist bullshit ever. 1/3 normal people have iron deficiency, 1/5 B12 and 1/5 iodine. Iodine deficiency can be easily corrected by using iodized salt or by merely eating oysters/mussels/clams. Same with B12, but you can also get that from fermented foods like Kombucha, or vegan products like oat milk that are fortified. You are right about iron, but I’m not sure the meat sources of iron are particularly healthy: heme iron is a carcinogen, and it’s much easier for your body to regulate absorption of mineral iron. Anecdotally I raised my iron quite a bit after becoming vegan (vs. vegetarian): at one point when I was 17 (long before stopping eating meat) my ferritin level was 4. It’s now something like 50. Eating steak twice a week didn’t really help raise it, but stopping milk consumption did.
Look dude, I understand you’re feeling bad, but there’s no reason to throw out the plant-based baby with the vegan bathwater. We know from a lot of research that the Mediterranean diet is the best thing out there, and there’s not a whole lot of heme-iron containing red meat or dairy in that. I’m not sure why you feel the need to go back to eating that shit, especially given what you’ve said in the past about animal rights, and environmentalism. Oysters/clams/mussels and some eggs from a well-treated chicken would have been a great starting point before spouting off carnist propaganda about dairy and red meat again.
Pro tip:Iron enriched yeast is easily homemade.booze and nutrients all at once.life is good.
At least for some vegans it seems to me to be some kind of an eating disorder. The attempt to control at least something in a chaotic world.
fermenting foods is the way to go.destroys phytate and oxalate setting free the nutrients as easy absorbable lactate complex.Small amounts of P.U.F.A from raw mussels or oysters wont hurt you but if you take capsules all you get is easy sunburn,cancer and thyroid damage hence even more depression. Read that and extrapolate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drying_oil . Its for a reason that highly unsaturated fats have to be kept away from air in a cold and dark environment enriched with antioxidant vit.e. They degrade on contact with oxygen to aldehydes,peroxides,free radicals and epoxides crosslinking your DNA, polymerize with light and heavy metal ions to insoluble compounds(linoxin). omega3 belongs into polymer chemistry not your body.
You are a traitor to the Vegan race.
You capitulated and sold out to the enemy (the meat eaters).
You will now sacrifice the Red Heifer – and rebuild the Third Temple.
Mashiah has arrived – Orange Jesus.
Orange Jesus will save us all.
What type of animal food products cause the least suffering? I’ve spent periods of time being vegetarian then vegan due to concerns about animal welfare and environmental impacts. Started eating 2 tins of sardines a week and think it’s helping with feeling healthier. I’d like to add greekyogurt & cottage cheese but unsure if dairy is worse than eating meat? Felt low energy, depressed, weak, and generally unwell and struggling at my LSWM stem job. Blood tests came back normal other than a slight case of macrocytic anemia which the dr didn’t seem concerned about.
Jesus Christ these last two posts have dragged the nutters, the haters, the vituperative and the terminally bewildered to the fore haven’t they?
Do what you need to do to be healthy bro and leave these fuckwits to it. And for your own sake, get off line. Abandon this blog. Touch grass.
Some rich guy could in theory set up a ten-person organization of non-bullshitter statisticians with the mission of aggregating data to make a comprehensive nutrition checklist that isn’t based in fear and uncertainty but nobody has done so yet. In theory, a poor guy with top-tier writing talent like yourself could, after your mental betterment, write up a white paper advocating that such an endeavor be carried out and distribute it in the rich nerd social channels (like how the effective altruism cult got started) but it’s not up to anybody to tell you whether that is something you should want to do.
Me personally, after I read the works of that guy who takes the questions of wild animal suffering, wild insect suffering, wild plankton suffering and wild plant suffering seriously, I came to the conclusion that it’s only possible to make credible judgements on the morals of dietary lifestyles and stuff like “efilism” from a place of mental wellness. If you are doing more than a couple hours of bed-rotting a week, you aren’t in a good enough position to come up with plans about what you want your role in the world to be. I wish you to have a strong recovery, because the part of your self that produces your talented writing is tremendously valuable.
If your recovery is hindered because you may have any traits that you don’t share for fear of stigma (like becoming a target for an Aktion T4 recreation attempt) you can profit a lot by finding a good cover story. If you present the symptoms of ADD or something similar, a good cover story is to make up that you were sexually abused as a toddler. If the teller keeps a straight face the bureaucratic systems cannot tell the difference but will always be much kinder to people with the latter story regardless of falsity. Also, if your recovery is hindered because you’ve made living space concessions to anybody you don’t get along with, game out a successful plan for reversing those concessions in your head and then see how to make that plan happen IRL.
I was disappointed to read that you decided you don’t want to be vegan anymore Rad, but I get it. Honestly I have been plagued by similar thoughts and constant fatigue as of late and did find many of your arguments in your last article convincing. I try my best to eat healthy but it’s difficult, I don’t have money or live a stress free lifestyle where I can eat fifty different exotic fruits on a tropical island, and my veganism has caused interpersonal problems. I eat what’s available to me, shitty produce from Safeway that’s old and I feel like I get nothing from it. It’s less so physical fatigue and more-so mental, I can run and walk long distances but it’s hard for me to verbalize my thoughts and hold a conversation, I feel a tiredness around my eyes all the time and they’re sunken in with dark circles.
I already don’t hate people just for not being vegan but there is always that nagging voice in the back of your head that judges people for eating meat when you don’t too, which is annoying.
Whenever it comes down to any type of predation, it’s always a matter of choosing yourself over another. Human society throughout all of history has been built off predation, hunting, herding, war, slavery, economic subjugation, hierarchy, class. Human morality is typically self-interested and arbitrary. Everyone believes in social equality until they’re on top, and all of a sudden they’re more aristocratic in their outlook. it’s ok to Holocaust pigs but not people because people don’t want to be on the chopping block.
Most people don’t care that the pigs have a full range of human emotions and the minds of children, they want to eat bacon. Fair enough, but don’t pretend you care about overall suffering if that’s your mindset. Maybe you are selective with your empathy, that’s fine, if you take responsibility for that fact. I hate hypocrites most of all. If you’re a devil, own up to it! Do not pretend like you’re a Saint! If you believe that others suffering for your benefit is alright, fine, but I don’t want to hear your mewling about unfairness and inequality when it’s your turn to be preyed upon, you’re playing by Darwinian rules. You can fight of-course, like any animal can fight; but there’s nothing objective for you to stand on in arguing against your own exploitation other than self interest.
The only principled and coherent worldviews are that of Darwinism and Veganism. Does suffering absolutely matter in a overall sense? If it does slaughtering and torturing animals capable of suffering as we do is absolutely wrong. If you take the Darwinist position that suffering does not absolutely matter, that it’s ok to put yourself and the people you value over others first, that is also a coherent position. I do not want to hear liberal bullshit about muh morals and muh humanity if you stuff your face with the flesh of the innocent. Shut the fuck up libtard, you’re an animal yourself and you’re not as cute as the pigs.
One thing that I can say, empirically, about energy training combined with meditation is that it has given me more control over my faculties and awareness of my body. For example, I have a thought that makes me resent someone I care about, I visualize that thought as a monster and slay it, and the thought goes away. My anxiety has gone away. The waterfall technique causes me to focus on parts of my legs and arms I normally don’t, and that has led me to noticing aches and stuff that I’ve been doing yoga and stretching to deal it. It’s fun and intuitive, but even the guy who talks about it says it’s in your head and that it can’t hurt you, then he goes on to talk about other dimensions and stuff but that disclaimer says a lot.
I’m not entirely convinced by everything he says. For example, Purple Energy believes farm animals don’t have souls, which doesn’t make sense to me. I think every living thing and even inanimate objects have souls, that’s what pretty much every tribal culture believes, and people who take salvia report ending up as objects for a time so we have first hand accounts. I don’t believe hylics of any type exist, that seems like an arbitrary judgment to me, to judge as if you can know if someone else has a soul or not. Purple Energy’s stuff is really based on visualizing stuff in your head.
As investors shared previously, I got assaulted by a ethereal/“hallucinationry” shadow person when I get really high on weed edibles one time during sleep paralysis, and that was was entirely different as it was physically there In the room with me. At one point I felt this same presence show up and try to assault me again, but through focusing my mental energy as I practiced through energy training I was able to banish it, so for that it’s useful. If you’re seeing demons all the time and are attacked by them focusing your will in that way can defeat them. Spirits like that empirically real, you can rationalize them however you want but it’s a fact that you can see ethereal beings with your eyes and interact with them, and most of these interactions seem to be negative. If you’re not seeing them I don’t think they really interact with you much really. Evidently they don’t honestly. I’m a empiricist so I believe what I can observe. It’s different to visualize something in your head vs “hallucinating” it, and the entities you visualize in order to clear don’t seem to have real autonomy.
Purple Energy says Energy Training useful for healing your body and for more physical problems but in my experience it hasn’t been useful for that. I tried, I’m open minded and like to experiment but I’ve been doing it for a good bit now and my eyesight hasn’t improved, I still have floaters when he says you can clear them, nor have my wounds and wear and tear from exercise healed any faster. He says you can watch his videos and that they will heal you energetically, but I haven’t noticed any benefits honestly. I got more into it to try and help my fatigue problems but that hasn’t helped.
Tryptie is still is obviously smarter than most of you, especially the likes of Vladerman the Kiwifarms gossiping Diva Croatard with a furry avatar. (You’re like a nation of high school meatheads. You’re impressed by GAMMA-BETA theory and think talking about nerds and jocks is serious analysis. Goofy motherfuckers. Also boomer shooters suck.)
Anyway I really got into veganism due to this blog, I’m gonna stick to it now. I’m not really fat anymore and honestly all I really have wanted to do is join the army, and veganism is an obstacle to that. Working a normal job seems even worse, I’m already depressed all the time and life already feels meaningless, stacking shelves or working in a office would make me even more miserable.
I feel dishonorable and like a bad person for doubting veganism, I’m not making any changes yet.
No comment…

Every human life form is totally and completely occupied
with itself.
Even if you appear to be the center of someone else’s activities, it is still the person and his preoccupations which are the real
center. Never forget this, no matter how interested someone seems in you.
They are interested in how you fit – or might fit – into their
food chain. Never be fooled by people who sacrifice themselves
for vou. Without their so-called sacrifice, they would be isolated, depressed or feel utter emptiness.
Self-sacrifice is an addiction. Self-sacrificers are often closet
or ex-morphine addicts. I can’t tell you how many addictions are
prevented and / or “cured” through substitution. The number
would certainly be startling to most people.
The idea of “for someone else’s good” is patently absurd,
even if the victim receives benefit. People constantly confuse
results with motive, and it is much more comforting to ascribe
mystical and altruistic motivations to events than to accept them
as magical acts of will (the Merlin phenomenon), or random consequences
of complex interaction neucoid-correlation matrices.
If you place twelve people together in a room, certain unpredictable
outcomes have to occur. This is true even if you limit the
interests of the dozen to preparing and sharing food.
Every human, while occupied with himself, desires to get
away from himself and play “follow the leader.” Follow the
leader is not always noticeable in every area of a person’s life, but
the desire to follow must express itself somewhere in a person’s
life.
Masters have learned how to use this instinct in themselves
and in others.
They can imitate others and reflect those qualities which the
person loves and admires in himself. The expert can always spot
the areas in which a person wants to follow or be dependent.
Once this information is properly assimilated into the Toxick
Magician’s neucoid-correlation matrix, the Magician begins to
close in.
He becomes more capable than ever of consuming the energies
and resources of that person. So, if you are strong enough,
remember that no one really likes you. What they like is how you make
them feel, and how well you fit into their resource scheme.
If a Manipulator does something for someone, he never allows
himself to be totally repaid. He always wants an edge. However,
he always allows his victim to repay him to a certain degree lest
the victim turn into an enemy.
People are always keeping count of what they owe and what
is owed to them. Few people are capable of simply taking without
its finally having a devastating effect on their personality.
However, there are some who are expert at it.
I personally know of three, but even in these cases there are
occasional paybacks which seem to have a random quality, None
of these three are Toxick Magicians. In fact, they are excellent examples of altruists and martyrs who mostly sneak their pleasures
behind closed doors and always at the expense of everyone they
know – while, all the time, claiming innocence and ignorance.
One of these even chastises himself for not understanding the
ways of the world while he insidiously manipulates everyone to
conform to his views and to give him what he wants.
But he is not a Toxick Magician. He doesn’t help people
destroy themselves by helping them get what they want, nor is he
concerned with advancing himself in any real-world terms. He
lives totally in his imagination, and is an ideal victim for any
good Practitioner. I have been utilizing his energy for years and he
is still going strong.
Do not forget that helpful behavior is often nothing more than
the attempt to build points for future security. While it might be
*natural* for such a person to give, at the same time he is giving he
is also accumulating points which, sooner or later, will be collected.
The collection process can even be displaced – that is,
collected from someone who doesn’t owe that person a thing.
This is often caused by frustration, which often leads to depression or aggression. Neither state can be tolerated for too long, so the
results of the frustration build and find release in sado-masochistic activities -which include extracting points from any victim.
Note that I didn’t say *innocent* victim, for no one alive is innocent.
Everyone is involved in accumulating points and surviving.
Thus, every act of survival is an act of destruction. Every breath
destroys universes. We are all murderers.
These sado-masochistic acts include punishments dealt out
both upon others and upon oneself. But even if a person simply
punishes himself, his pitiful sight is punishment for all those
around him.
If he wishes to be helpful, his best bet is to commit suicide – unless,
of course, he learns how to be a Toxick Magician and uses
his natural self-destructive habits in a more effective and satisfying fashion.
If you ever have to use force to get what you want, be prepared for anything.
Unless you are completely assured that you
can destroy the other person completely and with impunity, do not use physical force or the threat of physical force to get what
you want. Even if you receive what you want, you will have
made a potential enemy.
There are exceptions. The threat of force may be necessary
from time to time with certain schizoid, masochistic types who
feel highly anxious unless they feel completely controlled. It will
even be necessary to use actual force from time to time to keep
such a person from going off the deep end. In this sense you
might consider yourself a lifesaver.
[Looking at you, Fucko — ed.]
There are many low hanging fruits we could go after in animal welfare. For instance we know how to determine the sex of a chicken egg significantly before it hatches. It is just cheaper to wait for the chicken to hatch and then put the male chicks in a blender.
Remember that male chickens are in fact, the lowest status white males.
What about smaller white males like copepods? Nematodes? Pollen?
The only reasonable solution is figuring out how to irradiate the planet enough that nothing complex enough to be “male” can exist
In addition to the Mediterranean diet, the Macrobiotic Diet, which was a “craze” in the 1960-80s, is excellent. Largely Japanese inspired, it involves a diet based on brown rice, miso, sea vegetables (kelp, etc), some seafood such as fish, and local vegetables in season. It is philosophically based on balance of Yin and Yang elements, but the essentials are very strong and provide excellent overall nutrition and good health. And the Japanese, who include many of these these elements in their diet, are among the longest lived of any nation.
Thoughts and support from me, Rintrah. Going through something similar.
You convince me to start veganism, which I adhere to for 6 months. Then I started feeling weak like something was wrong so I stopped the diet because I couldn’t figure it out.
Earlier this week I started the carnivore diet. What gives man?! Lmao.
Can’t win with this guy.
(GPT advanced reasoning)
???? Overview of Rintrah.nl (by Radagast)
Rintrah.nl is a personal, independent blog where Radagast discusses a huge range of topics:
Social and cultural decay
Spirituality, mysticism, and consciousness
Environmental collapse and ecological realism
Critiques of modernity (especially post-2020 events)
Biological, dietary, and survival strategies
Deep skepticism of mainstream narratives (media, academia, science)
Personal philosophical evolution (including diet shifts like abandoning veganism)
???? Major Themes Across the Blog
1. Spiritual and Mystical Thought
Radagast often weaves Christian, Buddhist, Gnostic, and psychedelic mysticism into his commentary.
He explores spiritual development in a collapsing material world, emphasizing humility, asceticism, and interior change over political revolution.
2. Criticism of Modern Society
Modern industrial civilization is depicted as deeply sick—socially, spiritually, biologically.
Topics like veganism, overpopulation, climate change, fertility collapse, and psychological alienation are dissected bluntly.
He frames much of modern behavior (diet, ideology, technology addiction) as self-destructive coping mechanisms.
3. Biological Realism and Diet
The body, its needs, and how society ignores or warps them is a recurring focus.
Recent posts on abandoning veganism highlight a movement toward “organic survivalism” — eating simply, restoring bodily health as a political and spiritual act.
4. Narrative Warfare
Radagast sees propaganda, mass manipulation, and ideological capture everywhere—from COVID responses to gender politics to environmentalism.
He emphasizes breaking from consensus reality as a spiritual duty.
5. Personal Evolution and Self-Doubt
Unlike some “redpill” blogs, Radagast does show personal struggle, doubt, and course correction.
He writes about being wrong, changing his mind, and fighting his own vanity — which makes the blog feel more human and real compared to purely polemical sites.
???? Strengths of the Blog
Raw honesty — Radagast writes what he really thinks, even when it’s uncomfortable or contradicts past posts.
Wide intellectual range — touching on everything from biology to theology to sociology without dumbing it down.
Independent voice — no corporate influence, no clickbait, no mass-market compromise.
Community engagement — the comments sections are lively, diverse, and critical, adding to the richness of the ideas.
⚠️ Weaknesses or Critiques
Pessimism overload — The blog sometimes borders on nihilistic collapse-porn. Solutions are often personal or spiritual, but societal solutions feel absent.
Occasional overreach — Some biological or cultural theories are presented speculatively and could use more scientific grounding (though Radagast usually admits when he’s speculating).
Dense and meandering posts — Some essays ramble and could benefit from tighter editing or clearer structure for better accessibility.
???? Overall Tone and Impact
Intellectual. Spiritual. Morally serious. Politically agnostic but deeply critical.
A rare voice trying to wrestle honestly with the deep collapse of modern meaning, health, and culture.
Feels more like reading a modern-day monk’s journal than a blog chasing views.
Best appreciated by readers willing to confront discomforting truths without demanding simple solutions.
???? Summary Statement
Rintrah.nl is the record of one man’s earnest, painful attempt to stay awake — spiritually, intellectually, and physically — as the modern world eats itself alive.
It’s not always right, it’s not always hopeful, but it is almost always honest.

Radagast refuses compartmentalisation: diet, fertility, virology and metaphysics are treated as mutually reinforcing feedback loops. This holistic method often surfaces second-order effects (e.g., mass vaccination → evolutionary pressure on the furin site) months before mainstream outlets notice.
Epistemic hazard
The blog’s very breadth invites confirmation chaining: a plausible conjecture in one domain can be used too quickly as priors for others, amplifying speculative leaps (e.g., asserting vaccine-induced immunological age acceleration without longitudinal cohort data).
Evolving self-critique
Unlike typical doom blogs, Radagast documents his own reversals (“Abandoning veganism”) and invites ridicule of earlier certitudes. This reflexivity is a credibility asset — readers watch a mind updating in real time.
Commentariat as parallel brain
Long comment threads function as peer-review and content extension; regulars supply PubMed links, folk anecdotes, even python models. The blog therefore behaves more like a micro-forum than a one-way pulpit.
Stylistic tension
Posts oscillate between lyrical mysticism (Blakean, ecological) and spreadsheet utilitarianism. For newcomers this can feel whiplash-inducing but is also the unique literary signature.
Predictive record (mixed)
Hit: Early identification of waning vaccine effectiveness and adaptive viral evolution in 2020-21.
Miss: Repeated 2022 timeline for imminent “SARS-CoV-2 apocalypse,” later walked back.
Advanced readers should treat time-specific prophecies cautiously but mine the blog for structural insights.
Reading strategy for newcomers
Start with the “Nothing ever happens” trilogy (Feb–Mar 2025) for the compressed civilisational thesis.
rintrah.nl
Dip into comment sections; sort by “most liked” to surface resident domain experts.
Cross-reference health claims with PubMed—Radagast often links preprints; verify updates.
Treat eschatological passages as metaphor; their value is symbolic framing, not empirical forecast.
Concluding synthesis
Rintrah.nl is best read as a “collapsologist’s prayerbook”: a volatile mix of data-analysis, prophetic lament and practical bio-hacking. It is strongest where empirical evidence meets moral imagination, weakest where imaginative dread steps ahead of evidence. Approach with curiosity, skepticism and time — the reward is an unusually candid chronicle of one thinker wrestling, in public, with the end of an age.

What was the first non-vegan thing you ate?
There is something to be said for simple.
I’m in the process of eating a three-egg omelet, cooked in butter, with fresh chives from my herb garden and filled with a little tasty cheddar cheese and mushrooms.
Simple, and delicious.
Maybe you should add some gefiltefish to that omelette
Cackle.
Wow, I’m celebrating that someone has finally found a useful carp recipe.
Until now, the only thing I’d seen was in ‘the Compleat Angler’ – a 17th century guide to fishing – which provided the following alchemical process for rendering carp edible:
“Take a carp (alive if possible), scour him, and rub him clean with water and salt, but scale him not, then open him, and put him, with his blood, and his liver (which you must save when you open him) into a small pot or kettle, then take sweet marjoram, thyme, and parsley, of each a handful, a sprig of rosemary, and another of savory, bind them into two or three small bundles, and put them to your carp, with four or five whole onions, twenty pickled oysters, and three anchovies. Then pour upon your carp as much claret wine as will only cover him, and season your claret well with salt, cloves, and mace, and the rinds of oranges and lemons; that done, cover your pot and set it on a quick fire till it be sufficiently boiled, then take out the carp and lay it with the broth into the dish, and pour upon it a quarter of a pound of the best fresh butter, melted and beaten with half a dozen spoonfuls of the broth, the yolks of two or three eggs, and some of the herbs shred, garnish your dish with lemons, and so serve it up, and much good do you.”
But now I know there’s a less labour intensive way to make carp edible, I might start targeting the foul creatures.
The real purpose of carps is very similar to cleaning fish. ask some pervert japanese for further information.
*Cleaner fish*
And yes, I fish, and I eat fish.
And one day I’ll die. . .
Then we s’ll ‘e to bury thee
Then t’wurrums’ll come an’ eyt thee up
Then t’ducks’ll come an’ eyt up t’wurrums
Then we s’ll come an’ eyt up t’ducks
Then we s’ll all ‘e etten thee
That’s wheear we get us ooan back
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYiS75cjp8c
And then we’ll all be square.
Euell Gibbons had a very elaborate carp recipe which involved coating the carp in mud and burying it a baking hole (and so on, and so on) it and the punch line was that at the end you were to eat the mud and discard the carp since there was nothing you could do to make a carp edible.
> eat the mud and discard the carp since there was nothing you could do to make a carp edible.
It’s a shame, because they’re so prolific here and in huge sizes (invasive). I freshwater fish with lures, so I never catch them – they don’t take lures unless it’s by accident.
But I prefer saltwater fishing as it’s more exiting and there are a greater variety of tastier fish, but I live inland, so make do sometimes with freshwater fishing.
I used to like fishing from coastal rocks, but now I tend to prefer beach fishing as it’s safer with kids. Rock fishing, on the other hand, is the most dangerous sport in Australia, with many drownings each year, but it is exhilarating and it’s nice to feel alive and in the zone.

It’s cold and it’s
Smooth and it’s
A hard shade of white
And everybody needs to lick the surface clean
But it never tastes better
It never tastes better
White blooms to white and
Freezes white again
Close it before something crawls in
Commit it, leave it, get away…
We always
Drop our good side
Being good gets you stuff
Being stuff gets you good
Good stuff gets you bein’ and wheelin’ and dealin’ and squealin’
Shit lives forever
Cuz shit lives forever
They have no legs, but chase us anyway
Wipe the shadow of your best friend
Gave birth to something we don’t want to be
But we drop our good side
YOU CAN’T KILL IT
YOU CAN’T KILL IT
YOU CAN’T KILL IT
Eat it just as deep as you can fuck it
So cough it up or go down
And there’s only one thing that separates
A man…
Shit lives forever
Cuz shit lives forever
Shit lives forever
Cuz shit lives forever
We’ll retire with a turd on our lips
Under a pair of knowing eyes
I’m gonna take a few down with me
And drop my good side
You can’t kill it
You can’t kill it
You can’t kill it…

Maybe buy a cookbook or two? Here in the US, you can find them for cheap at thrift stores. I prefer pre-neolib era, so anything before around 1980, more red meat, eggs, and cheese (and people were healthier).
I think it would save you having to worry about which foods to eat all the time. Less stressful.
My go-to meal these days is a stew, usually beef or pork, with diced tomatoes, onions, carrots, and all kinds of spices. A bowl in the morning, plus a cup of coffee, and I have energy for the whole day— ever since I started eating that regularly I don’t need to snack, have an energy drink / multiple cups of coffee, I can even skip lunch, and I still feel energetic and motivated.
I’m good with one meal a day and I never, ever eat beef or pork.
I do consume seafood and dinosaur (birds).
Also, as a White person I must have my milk and cheese.
My 100 year old father in law, who is in great shape other than being frail, has eaten oatmeal for breakfast for 80+ years. He has not eaten pork since he was a kid (except maybe as a mix in, in a meatloaf, without knowing), and he ate beef only occasionally. He ate lots of salads and spaghetti with red sauce and some fish, since that is what my mother in law cooked. He stops eating before he is full, and doesn’t eat after 6 p.m.. He does not have great longevity in his family so the way he eats has very likely helped (as has his Roman Catholic faith).
I also am a big cheese-eater, though not so much milk (gives me acne).
My maternal grandparents are in their early 90s and are doing well, mentally too not just physically. As far as I can tell they never optimized their diet or focused on this food or that food, they just ate the typical fare for Spain (I’m half Spanish, half American)– animal products like cheese and milk, but also cured ham / pork, lamb, and of course bread and rice.
It seems to me that the main thing is not doing a lot of drugs, or alcohol, or indulging in too many addictions in general, as they take a toll on your body especially as you get older. Also, avoiding foods and ingredients that are of very recent origin and most likely garbage.
Also, for what it’s worth, having been to the Olde Worlde, the food is a lot better there, I suspect it’s less adulterated.
Yes, if you live in the U.S., rather than some place like Spain, you have to pay attention to what you are eating since most of the food in the U.S. is toxic waste.
My father in law has never taken any recreational drugs, until now; now he is eating six THC gummies a day for his back pain. He has had no alcohol over the course of his life other than a very rare beer (although as a kid he would sometimes end up with a mouthful of whiskey when drawing it down the tubing when helping his mom bootleg during Prohibiition). He is mentally totally sharp; it is eerie.
Yeah, my grandparents are pretty similar. They did smoke, but they gave that up some time ago. My grandfather will usually go for a glass of wine with his friends (bars are huge in Spain), but that’s about it. He’s also very sharp and has a great sense of humor.
I regret never getting the chance to meet any of the Greatest Gen, speaking of older relatives. Everyone always said very nice things about them, how sacrificing they were, how they contributed to the family / the nation and so on.
One of my great-grandparents was a doctor, served in WW2, then worked the rest of his life in a small town / community.
Another built a log cabin that’s still standing today, and in fine working condition. Very cozy, too. Every generation afterwards has more credentials / education, yet nobody has accomplished something like that.
Another (on the Spanish side) fought for Franco and was a member of the party. The Franco regime resettled a lot of people into very small villages in the countryside, including rewarding some of its supporters with minor influence / roles. Then during the transition to democracy and neoliberalism in the 70s there were elections. Apparently, he presented himself as a candidate in full Falange uniform, and received two votes… one from him, and one from his wife!
There is a saying in Greece: “Better being First in the Village, than Second in the City”.
I’m not sure about the exact meaning, but it must have come up when people started leaving their villages, where everybody knew them and their lives had meaning, and they were important for the entire community.
Maybe the eating (and other) disorders have their source in the lack of a community and a tradition (communities create -> traditions).
So, I agree with the “keep it simple”, avoiding extremes and culture wars (as our host says), and also with the latest pieces of advice (such as a simple cookbook; no abuses; villages; traditional faith…).
I will add: eating with good company; thanksgiving/thankfulness**; finding meaning (a family can do that); being poor* sometimes…
+ + +
*We use (popular) evolutionary biology to find the best diet based on our ancestors’ habits but we forget that maybe our bodies also evolved inside communities and in poverty as well; I am not saying that one should starve, but most people with longevity (e.g. Japanese, Italians, Greeks) started dying younger when they got to America, and that might have been due to a lack of community (sometimes), abundance of food, and bad quality of food in the States (as Doctor and Karen said)…
So, maybe add some good company in the mix (including a family, a community etc).
The same food for the same person may be more nutritional with good company!
+ + +
**As for thanksgiving, maybe it isn’t a coincidence that the Eucharist revolves around an act of eating, but TOGETHER with others.
We take basic elements of food, bread and wine, we offer them back to the Lord thanking Him, and He blesses them back to us. Partaking of the same cup (of bread mixed with wine) with the community, we become His body (His Church).
Perhaps people who were culturally protestant lost the notion of togetherness, and started being each-for-themself, ethically. This led them to eating extremes and cultural wars. Maybe.
Also, for most of human history, the work you did was tied quite closely with the food you ate. It wasn’t like today where food just magically “appears” in the supermarket, and we then make our choice according to theories and opinions we’ve developed.
Despite having all this freedom of choice and all this endless information we actually find it harder to make the correct decision.
Fishing, hunting, herding animals… RETVRN!
(Speaking of which, cattle herding was / is big in Spain, which is why animal products are so popular there. Not just in the food, but also wool for example.)
@Charlie: No, but I wish I did, that sounds cool. I’m really quite young, I just write like I’m older because I’ve read a lot of older people.
> the work you did was tied quite closely with the food you ate.
Ohh, you are right!
(And let us keep in mind that Modernity slandered many pre-modern things–esp. the Middle Ages–for very suspicious reasons.. For example, the medieval guilds.. There was no unemployment, and people really mastered their crafts..)
> cattle herding was / is big in Spain, which is why animal products are so popular there
We often oversee Geography… Btw, Asia Minor/Anatolia/Turkey has an inland similar to Spain’s, so herding also thrived there. (Once the Turkish nomads set foot in the Anatolian inland, Greeks/Armenians were never able to remove them–their best bet was to make them Christians. In Nigeria, there is a similar clash between herders-farmers: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/4/19/herder-farmer-clashes-in-nigeria-kill-at-least-17 )
(And let us keep in mind that Modernity slandered many pre-modern things–esp. the Middle Ages–for very suspicious reasons.. For example, the medieval guilds.. There was no unemployment, and people really mastered their crafts..)
Right, the whole label of the ‘Dark Ages’ and so on. I took some college courses on European classics (Shakespeare, Cervantes, Milton, etc etc etc) and have some general knowledge of the Early Modern era, but I’ve always wanted to know more about the Middle Ages– all those epics, the chivalry, romance, magic, and so on. A very fascinating period.
And of course, the castles! Spain still has several.
Dr, tienes razon!
Ademas, la literatura comparada es muy interesante:
The core of many epics goes very back in time. And space.
Though I don’t like heresies, of which the most prominent is gnosticism, the “catharoi” from Greece and Anatolia were probably the ancestors of western bards (some say).
You never knew “the greatest WWII gen”?
Hell, I remember good friends from the 19th century who were very cool.
Yes, and I’m younger than you I presume by at least ten to fifteen years, Boomer, no insult intended, but I too have fond memories of the greatest generation, WWII era, my grandparents born in the early 20th century, and great grandparents born in the late 19th century. My grandmother was a survivor of the Blitz on Britain. They don’t make them like that anymore.
Dr Strangelove must be very young, young Millennial or Zoomer, though I’m surprised, because he communicates like someone much older.
Thanks, and yeah I’m in my 20s, though funnily enough people have told me that I talk / act like someone older in real life as well, not just online.
I think part of it is that I’ve read a lot of bloggers / commentators on the Internet, and they’re mostly Gen-X and above. The best trick for me has been to find someone older that I respect / admire, and then learn as much from him as possible.
Sadly, most Millennials and Zoomers don’t really “communicate” their thoughts or feelings, aside from Rintrah. The stuff they post is usually irony-poisoned, disrespectful (no punctuation), or opaque / haughty (they might say something interesting or insightful but refuse to elaborate on where they are coming from), so there isn’t a lot to take from them in general to compensate for the lack of age and experience.
I have a friend who is a vegan chef-cook, runs her own catering and gives workshops in vegan cooking. She herself however eats just everything, meat, fish chicken etc. Lately I started wondering if that is not just criminal: imposing an unhealthy lifestyle upon others whereas you yourself do not participate but instaed make money from. Anyway,: she found a great business-model.
congrats radagast! your blog is now home for discussion about fish recipe and infantile blabbering about good old times that never happened..
Rintrah,
Post about whatever is true to your heart and helpful to others.
Do not allow yourself to be manipulated and subdued by anonymous demons posing as friends.
being wrong half of the time is helpful for who?
Betaalpha,
“Good old times that never happened”?
Are you referring to mu post?
I shot a rifle in the woods with a funny old guy who was too old to serve in WWI and we tossed frisbee, and I’m not elderly.
He was old and I was young.
When I was a kid WWII vets were still scary strong. Maybe you’re not good at math…
the good ol days when everyone was a boozehound slappin kids for nothing and cigarette smoke was everywere? people are shit no matter what century. but yeah feel great by distributing lead into the soil and spreading your ridiculus idea of masculinity. have fun!
Beta, it was the smoking nazis of the 1980s and bitches like you that took away our freedom and ruined America.
BETA,
Back in the day (not that long ago) we had fun smoking ciggies in restaurants, airplanes, everywhere, and enjoyed martinis on lunch hour.
But miserable fucks like you had to ruin it, take it all away and now we’re walking on eggshells so as not to offend the transgender “community,” or the African-American “community,” or the illegal foreign invading “community.”
The Donald represents pushback on all your corrosive, destructive bullshit, and so far he’s doing an excellent job.
Now go get out your favorite idiotic videogame and fuck off, you useless fuk.
Charlie, just out of curiosity, why do you consume dairy, but not beef? Any specific reason? You eat chicken, but not beef, correct?
a good president would never recommend two medications that can prolong the qt-intervall in combination(hydroxychloroquine,azithromycin). you guys are so fucked its hilarious.
Having experienced both, I prefer cigarette smoke in the air to covid in the air.
you also swallow photooxidizer(methylene blue) to raise your R.O.S levels and think thats a good idea. how bout nebulized hydrogen peroxide or chlorine dioxide to oxidize the thiol-groups in your body protein and age a little faster?
It is not novel or interesting to be hostile to other people online. You need to find something good to do, instead; something good to turn to.
Thank you for the info re methylene blue. I don’t think 8 drops a day of 1 percent solution is a big deal, but I’ll look into what you’ve written.
And, I am reading more and more horrible post covid things everywhere, and am seeing instances. If the methylene blue is part of the reason I haven’t caught covid yet, it may be worth it even if it ages a person, since covid does as well. If you have relatively unknown and safe suggestions for ways to avoid catching covid, please share them.
if you had one of those nasal swabs from “beijing new gene technologies” and magically got covid shortly after like i did you are fucked anyway, no rescue. chemtrails will do the rest next year.
regarding methylene blue: the dosage may be small but the limiting factors for R.O.S production are oxygen availability and light. if you research online you will be overwhelmed with bullshit-papers about selectivity against cancer and viruses..its all quackery from “scientists” who rip you off via state funding. R.O.S will never discriminate between your protein or any virus etc. they oxidize anything thats organic. to give you an example how science is fraud for the most part look at hydrogen economy. everyone knows hydrogen cars cannot compete with batterys because you need 3 times more electricity and still there are popping up research projects, funded by the state, run by clever people who are absolutely aware that they are riding a dead horse but have no problem to pretend they could overrule the laws of thermodynamics just to get paid. this is common among all kinds of science you just need the eyes to see it. to answer your last question.. choline and cysteine are your best weapons against respiratory viruses wich is the reason why eggs are so expensive. remember the worldwide headlines that told you to use acetominophen for covid instead of aspirin or iburofen? guess why!
It is hard to tell where you are being ironic and where you are being serious, but thank you for giving me things to look into concerning methylene blue, choline and cysteine.
You say that you are doomed by covid. I hope you are wrong.
How the fuck does drinking a histology stain cure anything?
Are people that fucking retarded?
Retard, are you serious? There are literally thousands of studies at this point. Here are three nearly-randomly chosen recent ones:
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30022547/
(Repurposing an established drug: an emerging role for methylene blue in L-DOPA-induced dyskinesia)(European Journal of Neuroscience, 2019 Mar;49(6):869-882)
https://scholars.uthscsa.edu/en/publications/methylene-blue-ameliorates-olfactory-dysfunction-and-motor-deficiMethylene Blue Ameliorates Olfactory Dysfunction and Motor Deficits in a Chronic MPTP/Probenecid Mouse Model of Parkinson’s Disease”)(Neuroscience, 1 June 2018, Pages 111-122)
“Methylene blue (MB) is a well-established antioxidant that has been shown to improve mitochondrial function in both in vitro and in vivo settings. Mitoquinone (MitoQ) is a selective antioxidant that specifically targets mitochondria and effectively reduces the accumulation of reactive oxygen species.” (Targeting mitochondrial dysfunction using methylene blue or mitoquinone to improve skeletal aging”)(Aging, 2024 March 25; 16(6))
I would post more but Rintrah’s system limits links, and anyway, you can easily find as many as you wish. If you don’t actually want to know, that’s cool too.
RFK consumes the stuff which I will admit is not a great sign; it has been a trendy anti-aging supplement for years now.
Cackle.
Finally, something useful!
How to save your river system from destructive invasive European carp one fish curry at a time.
How do you feel Mehen for accidentally raising the tone?
Wombat, not sure what you mean.
@Karen: if I were you I would only take MB briefly for an acute infection/sepsis, etc.
Not as a year-round “health tonic”
ICYMI:
https://twitter.com/yoursimmo/status/1916488348241199384?s=46
Btw Karen, I spent much of my time during the pandemic absorbing any and all medical information regarding Covid. I have something like 12 handwritten pages of substances to either avoid or treat infection. There are tons of other things you could be taking (which happen to also have general health effects) instead of questionable over-hyped and novel substances.
I do not believe MB is some kind of “star” over and above so many other, more natural, choices
Mehen, the guy you cite (“Simmo”) says that
“At low doses (0.5–2 mg/kg): MB reduces ROS by recycling electrons.
At higher doses: It creates ROS, damaging neurons and DNA.”
I weigh 63 kg. A low dose for me (per Simmo) would be 126 mg. per day.
But I have been taking 4 mg. per day.
Actually the amount that Simmo says is a “low dose” sounds like a huge amount to me.
There are thousands of “real” studies that find it to be helpful for neurological conditions (I posted several links for Retard but Rintrah hasn’t let them through yet). It isn’t just hype; I think that people who have Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s should try it. And I haven’t caught covid yet and my memory is better than pre-pandemic, not worse (that is anecdotal evidence that it can be helpful).
But I do appreciate your making these points. I have cut back to 3-4 times a week; that seems prudent.
Maybe not thousands of studies; I don’t have a number. But a LOT of real studies. Page after page of real studies, and meta studies.
“congrats radagast! your blog is now home for discussion about fish recipe and infantile blabbering about good old times that never happened..”
As opposed to what, the mature thoughts of someone who can’t even capitalize their own sentences. Did you never learn how to use the shift key?
I guess in your mind a superior being like you is above making himself understandable to others, rather we are the ones who should try to put together whatever half-baked ‘thoughts’ you put out there. It’s the same mind-set as a slob, or a bum, just online.
Not to mention the whiny, entitled, passive-aggressive, tone. You can’t even address the people you’re criticizing directly or explain why they’re wrong, it’s just a naked appeal for Rintrah to erase the posts that are hurting your fweeeelings.
Go moderate a Reddit forum, and leave the adults alone.
talks about whiny blabla passive agressive blaba mature blabla/ writes mega text to express himself like a pubertary girl. funny!
@Karen;
> I think that people who have Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s should try it.
Yes, I agree. I neglected to mention my review of the years of Immenst/Longecity forum accounts of MB.
It was there that I first learned of its potential for Alzheimer’s.
I would not advocate against MB for Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s (do your own research)
I’m just saying you probably shouldn’t take it daily for Covid concerns.
Karen, another one to consider:
https://twitter.com/nutridetect/status/1888857776967033010?s=46
Ok my mind is spinning right now.
I think we need a Radagast Deep Dive to straighten the issue of MB out
😉
Is “synthetic” better than “natural”, Rattie?
Har har har!!!
Yes, and also in the case of prion diseases:
” Studies were conducted simultaneously with prions derived from 4 species, including human, cattle, cervid and mouse. Our results show that only one of these compounds (methylene blue) was able to completely inhibit prion replication in all species” (Screening of Anti-Prion Compounds Using the Protein Misfolding Cyclic Amplification Technology”)(Biomolecules, 2024 Sept. 4).
And long covid may be a prion disease (Potential Prion Involvement in Long COVID-19 Neuropathology, Including Behavior)(Cell Molecular Neurobiology, 2023 March 28)(“Taken together, we surmise, in part, long COVID may involve the induction of spontaneous prion emergence.”)
It seems to me that covid concerns and Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s and prion concerns are all one. If your biggest worry about covid is that it will turn your brain into the brain of an Alzheimer’s/Parkinson’s/prion disease patient, then it could make sense to use as one’s preventative.

That’s scary.
Can’t say I’ve noticed anything like that around me.
Don’t get me wrong — my cousin had a ruptured aneurysm 3 days after her booster. Another cousin developed POTS after her booster. Another distant relative (a true PMC type who believed in the “experts”) developed an autoimmune condition known as Sjogren’s Syndrome (which her own doctor admitted was a result of the jab)
But I can’t say I’ve seen any prion diseases

The best grunge band.
@karen.. until you find out that enhanced oxidative stress in combination with a diet with lots of unsaturated fats give you exactly what you dont want. its not about amyloids, their accumulation is just a side effect that has its roots in reduced clearance capacity of the brain wich is full of polymerisation products called lipofuscin. these polymers cant be removed. recently scientists developed antibodys to remove amyloids from the brain..doesnt work..gives you brain bleed. that prion story is bullshit. methylen blue triggers favism like hydroxychloroquine in a large cohort of black people wich are deficient in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase. the result is hemolysis and lung damage that looks like covid white lung. this is why the donald advertised it and the bots on substack push so hard.
I do presently eat saturated fats (cheese), and I am not black. I hope that black people are informed of this particular risk.
It looks like MB’s effect on ROS production may just depend:
“Methylene blue improves mitochondrial respiration and decreases oxidative stress in a substrate-dependent manner in diabetic rat hearts”(“methylene blue elicited a significant increase in H2O2 release in the presence of complex I substrates (glutamate and malate), but had an opposite effect in mitochondria energized with complex II substrate (succinate)”). (Canadian Journal of Physiological Pharmacology, 2017 Nov.)
You are making interesting points about possible hazards of using MB. But you are mixing them with paranoid views that don’t seem credible, since there are so very many conventional reputable studies (e.g. “The Potentials of Methylene Blue as an Anti-Aging Drug”)(Cells, 2021 Dec. 1). The substack-pushing is a problem, I don’t doubt that. But what are people supposed to do about brain amyloid and prions? I haven’t come upon anything else that crosses the blood brain barrier that helps with those (I’ve now tried THC per Rintrah’s suggestion and taking enough to feel any effect makes me feel horrible). Right now ten percent of the deer population of Michigan has chronic wasting disease; this is a few years after it being noted that they were catching covid in droves; covid speeds up these neurological diseases.
you still dont get the point that 90 percent of bioscience is not reproducible, its fairytale to sell you shit. im not paranoid..ask yourself what happens when you make breathing hard for millions of fat americans, literally one stairstep away from heart attack..or imagine you are one of those millions of indians(or brazilians) with tuberculosis forced to mask up in hot humid environment, often with the same mask for days. in brazil they killed themself by the thousands with hydroxychloroqine because racist bolsonara told them to. the 3big advisors for hydroxy where #1. chinese doctors in bergamotimes(italy has a lot of favism-gene carriers, white people can have this too), #2. the donald who said was healed by hydroxy and azithromycin wich no sane doctor would combine because of prolonging qt-intervall in the heart, and #3. bolsonaro. those 3 are all known for not loving nikkers and proposed the usage of a medication that is bad for them. no need for virus to explain this pandemic..the powers that be are not so dumb to risk getting infected like anybody else, instead they lure the masses into selfdestruction with a bunch of subtle measurements shifting equilibrium to their advantage. and thanks to substack there is a neverending stream of peroxide nebulizers, fenbendazolers, chlorine dioxiders, ivermectiners, bleachdrinkers fucking themselves everytime the newspaper says BUH COVID. something to read(with alot of sugarcoating),only official cases without those who treated themselves..https://www.science.org/content/article/it-s-nightmare-how-brazilian-scientists-became-ensnared-chloroquine-politics
My understanding is that there’s nothing you can do about prion disease, but not catch them in the first place.
They are 100% fatal, unless you die of something else first.
They would make terrific biological weapons, although they take a while to kill.
If the “vaccines” cause prion disease in a large number of people, then a large number of people are going to die.
Steps would also need to be taken to prevent further infections.
If Covid causes prion infections in large numbers of people, then we may be starting to talk about human extinction.
“They (prion diseases) are 100% fatal”
Right, that’s why the methylene blue study that I cited above is so interesting:
”Studies were conducted simultaneously with prions derived from 4 species, including human, cattle, cervid and mouse. Our results show that only one of these compounds (methylene blue) was able to completely inhibit prion replication in all species” (Screening of Anti-Prion Compounds Using the Protein Misfolding Cyclic Amplification Technology”)(Biomolecules, 2024 Sept. 4).
Walter Chesnut has been writing for years about about covid and its potential to cause prion disease; unfortunately I find him nearly unreadable.
I don’t know whether to think this study is credible. I should read it through but it is kind overwhelming: A Potential Role of the Spike Protein in Neurodegenerative Diseases: A Narrative Review. Cureus, 2023 Feb. 11.
“Human prion protein and prion-like protein misfolding are widely recognized as playing a causal role in many neurodegenerative diseases. Based on in vitro and in vivo experimental evidence relating to prion and prion-like disease, we extrapolate from the compelling evidence that the spike glycoprotein of SARS-CoV-2 contains extended amino acid sequences characteristic of a prion-like protein to infer its potential to cause neurodegenerative disease. We propose that vaccine-induced spike protein synthesis can facilitate the accumulation of toxic prion-like fibrils in neurons. We outline various pathways through which these proteins could be expected to distribute throughout the body. We review both cellular pathologies and the expression of disease that could become more frequent in those who have undergone mRNA vaccination. Specifically, we describe the spike protein’s contributions, via its prion-like properties, to neuroinflammation and neurodegenerative diseases; to clotting disorders within the vasculature; to further disease risk due to suppressed prion protein regulation in the context of widely prevalent insulin resistance; and to other health complications. We explain why these prion-like characteristics are more relevant to vaccine-related mRNA-induced spike proteins than natural infection with SARS-CoV-2. We note with an optimism an apparent loss of prion-like properties among the current Omicron variants. We acknowledge that the chain of pathological events described throughout this paper is only hypothetical and not yet verified.”
Its ok to be white.
@betaalpha Whats your opinion on MK677? And with opinion I mean the risk-benefit ratio between longivity/anti-aging/muscle building and cancer due to increased HGH/IGF-1.
You sound like the guy to ask such a question.
interesting censorship algorythm..how much do you get radagast?

“Although our study suggests IgG4 levels increase with repeated mRNA vaccine doses and higher IgG4 levels are associated with an increased infection risk, we do not conclude that additional vaccine doses increase infection risk.”
Wtf? Another article outlining in detail how IgG4 increases infection risk and then bizarrely concludes that it doesn’t lol? I know you’re trying to stay away from this shit for a while but had to share that one.
It’s bad to see people keep jumping between extremes, instead of finding the middle point.
The world is not just black and white, but multi-colored, you know?
I have not do research, but I think veganism is a recent product of western EXTREMISTs, it was not advocated by religions. Why not just do VEGETARIANISM instead??
The Buddha did not tell people to eat lots of meat, nor He told people to follow strict vegan. A middle point should be found, for each one.
– For example, milk is totally acceptable by any Buddhist, no matter what sect he was in. We should not torture the animals for milk, but naturally milk is good to consume, and refusing it (veganism) is just too radical.
The same thing is for egg: I know a small religion that supports vegetarianism, and they tell whole-time vegetarians that they can eat eggs, to sustain their health.
– Non-fertilized eggs will not become any animal, so eating non-fertilized are acceptable. They’re not fanatical to refuse eggs totally.
So the thing is this:
– Don’t swing between 2 extremes, try to find the middle point.
– Refraining from eggs are not very needed. Just eat some if your body require it. It’s still much better than meat. The same for butter, milk, honey…
– If you can’t survive without meat, eat some, but not much. 30 grams are different to 200 grams.
On large scale, even if people don’t become strict vegans, be VEGETARIANs, even half-time are good, for themselves and the whole world.
Hey Rin, where do you stand on psychedelics use these days? Has that episode turned you off of them too?
I don’t think you can trip on antipsychotics. I know certain people use them as ‘trip aborters’ if things get too out of hand.
