This video claims it's the increase in Co2 that is causing our food to become less nutritious more so than the depletion of the soils from the use of chemical fertilizers. If that is true than why does food grown with organic mineral supplements like fulvic acid make it taste so good?


Is Our Food Becoming Less Nutritious?

Just came across this video of a guy that sells tripe smoothies in his booth. The guy he made one for said it wasn't bad but only took one sip and didn't finish it. I think they are gross but I feel incredible when I take them. I settled in on making mine with Worcestershire sauce and find it's the best way to tolerate them.

I also noticed he only blended it for a couple of seconds. I think he used the honeycomb tripe which is much easier to blend, the kind I use requires a full minute and a half and it's still stringy.

I notice my skin is much clearer when I do the tripe smoothies and just don't feel right when I don't take them.

I watched a similar video years ago. It was told to me that this was because cooking food got rid of all the taurine in it which is now added to all cat food. Cats can not make their own taurine just as humans can not make their own vitamin C. Not sure if I believe it though.

I've been using Piping Rock brand because I was ordering 10 bottles at a time for 5 something dollars a bottle  and 5 dollars shipping. Theirs is a fast release (coconut oil extract) formula.

The original brand of monolaurin is called Lauricidin (probably named after lauric acid, the main effective compound found in coconut oil). Instead of capsules this stuff is formulated into coated pelets that are supposed to get past  your digestive system. I've never tried them.

Instead of lauricidin I ordered a cheaper brand called Ultimate Monolaurin which should be here in about a day or so. The price is comparable to the piping rock brand but you have to order a 21 oz tub to get that price.

The reason I am trying the pellets is for a more sustained release. In the past I've only used monolaurin when I was feeling bad and it's always kicked the crap out of whatever I had after a few doses but now I'm aiming at possible viruses that live in the joints near the bones which are much deeper, so maybe a slower release for a more sustained dose might work better. I've always been afraid that taking it all the time might reduce it's effectiveness and keep it from working, similar to the way antibiotics kill the original form of pathogen and allow it to mutate till they no longer work.. Hopefully this is not the case. I was a caregiver to a woman who got prescribed antibiotics like they were candy. She died from an infection that they would no longer control. I haven't been able to find any information about this happening with monolaurin but that doesn't mean it can't happen!

So far the higher doses of monolaurin seem to be working for my backaches and joint pain...

Hope this helps!

For anyone interested I am taking around 3 grams of monolaurin 3 times a day. I am experimenting so I don't know how long I will be taking it at such a high dose.

I've been taking monolaurin occasionally for many years but only sparingly for colds, etc. This will be the first time I've ever taken it in such a high dose for a long time. Normally I just take it for a day and whatever I have is gone; but as they say. Cold sores are only skin deep but arthritis goes clear to the bone; so I imagine if it's going to work and this isn't just an unrelated temporary reprieve that I'm going to be taking it for a long time. I'm wondering... Will I build up a resistance to monolaurin similar to the way people do when taking antibiotics? I sure hope not. I haven't been able to find anything suggesting one way or the other on the internet so I guess I'll be the guinea pig.

I've been wondering lately if mine and many backaches could be viral. Started taking monolaurin, an antiviral supplement for it and it seems like it's working. Normally I only take monolaurin if I have a cold or flue like symptoms; but I might just continue taking it for backaches. Can the cause of backaches actually be viral?

A lot of people would disagree with you but I'm not one of them.

I honestly don't  know.

I stopped doing natto several months ago. It's definitely a lot better for you than consuming legumes but it's not even in the same league as consuming organ meats. I would say natto is to soy to what fresh lemonade is to Mountain Dew.

I think the extract nattokinase would be better if you're concerned about soy estrogens but I stopped taking that too. I would take it again but I feel that I have zero plaque in my arteries and haven't found any on my teeth in a long time.

I still take what I believe to be nettle root extract, which was sold to me as nettle root on ebay for almost nothing. After I got my first kilogram a few years ago I ordered the remaining 4 kilograms they had for sale. Still got 3 and 1/2 kilograms left. I don't know what I'm going to do when I run out because I can't afford to buy the extract but that wont be for several years...

Nettle root extract is considered to be only a mild aromatase inhibiter (prevents testosterone from turning into estrogens)  but it works very well for me. I mix a tablespoon into one of my liver smoothies once a day. Actually improves the taste. The remaining liver smoothies I take plain. Maybe the reason it works so good is because I take an entire tablespoon. I used to take that much nettle root. When they sent me the mislabled extract I began taking the same amount. I figured what the hell.

I feel good on a carnivore diet for about 3 weeks but after that I need to add in some raw fruit and vegetables. To me carnivore is a good reset but I don't seem to thrive on it long term

Interesting post. You mentioned that you did not gain the weight till you had auto immune issues. Maybe concentrate on an anti auto immune diet or anti inflammation diet instead of whether to go vegan or not?

Agreed. Nearly 50% of the meats I consume are raw organ meats. I take a tablespoon of wheatgrass juice occasionally for missing nutrients. My diet is so healthy that I consider canned sardines and herring, which I love, as my junk food!

Looked through some more links when googling black pepper and cancer and couldn't find a single one supporting that it caused it but plenty suggesting it may prevent it.
