Gangster tactics. Doctors make it illegal to provide services that complete with them, and then deny services until their aims are met.
How are the doctors earning money? 6 months is a long time to go without salary.
Maybe it was this one?

I can't remember what I searched on right now. If you search for "weightedvotes" you get lots of results.
Honestly, this gives a clue to what might be going on, but to really say positively I'm not sure this is good enough.
Really strange that Cape Town, South Africa is on this list but the other cities aren't. From what I've heard, Cape Town is supposed to be the best (of a bad lot).
The other cities probably just aren't tracking crime.
Is this the algo? (from github)

Agree. There aren't other species that have wildly different OPTIMAL diets, who need completely different things (like some of the species must have plants only, and the others thrive only on meat).
I think Dr. Ken Berry has a good piece on this topic. Also that's why his youtube channel is called the Proper Human Diet. He believes (and I agree) that animal based is indeed the ONE proper human diet, though we can survive on others. He sure has some great videos.
One thing I do notice at the budget grocery stores. Most people have carts filled with trashy junk food, usually. And they look it - they're often unhealthy looking and overweight or obese, and sadly, some of them can't even walk with any kind of energy, and are limping.
But there are some where you can see - they have lots of lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. And they ARE much more slender and healthy looking.
That was me, before starting carnivore. Tons of fruits and vegetables, and if you can stay fairly strict with that (basically a "whole foods" diet with no junk food), you won't be overweight, and you'll be better off than 95% of people.
However, after switching to carnivore, so many aspects of my health quickly improved so dramatically that I'm on this for good now.
Yes, the fingering is different, of course, but most people play chord based. You can also do finger picking.
Only 4 strings!
I learned ukulele a couple years back. So easy and sweet. Guitar is great too (I don't play anymore) but if you want something tons easier, ukulele is out there for you as well...
Wait a minute...so everyone with an .io domain has to switch now? That's a lot of bitcoin related domains...
Good point. So then, if you were eating grass fed/grass finished beef, you'd be golden? Or if you were eating wild game?
I've been exposed to the below argument about the morality of veganism since reading up on the carnivore diet.
It's that going by the number of animals killed, for farming - it's far higher than the number killed, by actually slaughtering and eating them.
In other words the animal life (mice, rabbits, deer, etc) that die as a result of farming is much, much higher than the animal life killed to butcher for meat.
Food for thought.
Yeah interesting, talk about secession comes along pretty frequently on some of the podcasts I listen to (i.e. Tom Woods).
Likewise, on the not seeing a doctor in the past...maybe 4 years.
Actually I did go direct to an eye doctor once recently, because I had a piece of sand in my eye that just wouldn't come out on its own. The doc did his thing, I was out in 15 minutes without that piece of sand in my eye.
That was a very well spent chunk of money.
But other than that, nothing. No regular checks, I don't take any medications. Zero trust in doctors.
I've learned that DIET is paramount.
I was living what most people would have considered a very health lifestyle a year ago. So basically:
- regular exercise
- healthy weight
- good sleep
- "healthy" diet (lots of fruits, veggies, fiber, not too much red meat)
I had medium energy with this lifestyle.
But starting the carnivore diet (i.e. only animal products, which is of course also almost zero carb) has been a complete game changer. Within 3 weeks I had so much more energy. Then as my body has become more accustomed to getting energy mostly from fat, my energy levels have gotten even better.
I'm rarely tired now, and am full of ideas, projects, and plans. It's not something I expected to happen with a dietary change, but that's what happened.
You never want to listen to Harvard - probably on anything, but DEFINITELY NOT on the benefits of a low-meat diet.
They're well known for being anti-meat/pro carb. Harvard Has Been Anti-Meat for 30+ Years—Why?. Here's a quote:
Far less well known is the fact that this fear of eating red meat can mainly be traced back to a single person, Harvard’s Walter C. Willett, the first and most prominent anti-meat champion in academia. Indeed, in 1990, the year before he started his 25-year reign (1991-2017) as head of the nutrition department at the highly influential Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (HSPH), Willett said it’s “quite possible” that “no red meat” was the optimal amount to eat. His more recent work has involved leading an international effort for a near-meatless diet for all people, globally. Yet this passion has never had a foundation in solid evidence. Rather, it has been based in a mixture of personal ambition, bad science, financial interests and bias.
I recently wrote a whole post on how the low-carb/keto/carnivore diets are being attacked, even though the evidence on their beneficial health effects are very substantial: The USDA is ignoring the massive science on the benefits of low-carb diets
Thanks for your comment.
I would challenge you to read some more about LDL cholesterol. The high LDL/higher risk of heart disease model is being overturned.
That quote you gave is from Harvard Health. They're well known for being anti-meat/pro carb. Harvard Has Been Anti-Meat for 30+ Years—Why?
The book The Big Fat Surprise by Nina Teicholtz has a full chapter on why low LDL does not mean better health, and why saturated fat is actually good for you.
Also about the history of the demonization of saturated fat (hint - the sugar industry wanted to divert attention from the problems caused by sugar). There's some very well-referenced data in that chapter, as indeed in the whole book.
And Nina Teicholtz as well has a great (short) article out on low carb diets, and how the USDA is deliberately ignoring the many very well proven health benefits of a low-carb diet:
