Hello friends. Greetings from Dallas. Wishing everyone a belated Happy New Year. I hope yours is full of health and prosperity. On the morning of New Year’s Eve, I awakened at about 4:30. I was wide awake and my brain was humming. I rolled over and cuddled the bride in an effort to get back to sleep for a few hours. Then, as I always do in such situations, I think of what Marcus Aurelius wrote at the beginning of Book 5 in his
Doc, using Occam’s razor (simplest solution) in Antartica cases suggests viruses are not real. It’s just body getting rid of poisons that we bring with food, drugs, chemicals. They never proved any virus infection using Koch Postulates. And no virus was ever isolated, but exosoms and bacteriophages were. But that’s too red pill too swallow for most.
Dr. Eades! You made one small comment about the AMA in your discussion of their bought and paid for amicus curae that I believe most people are unaware of. I hope you will say more about the AMA membership in a future post. Most people think all medical doctors are members of the AMA. That's why an endorsement from them carries so much weight. The press prints whatever Big Pharma tells the AMA to endorse. It's like the Communist Party in Soviet Russia. Less than ten percent of Russia's population were members of the Communist Party. I'm curious what percentage of all American doctors are members of the AMA? Keep up the good work! Cheers!
A beautiful sunrise. We only seem to get those in Los Angeles when there are brush fires that throw a lot of smoke into the air.
I have long loved the Ode to Joy, and have long promised myself to read Schiller from whose poetry it is taken, although I have yet to do so. And I love these "flash mob" performances. They remind me of musical numbers in old movies, where "spontaneously" breaking into song to express something seems perfectly natural and normal.
I at first thought you were being facetious when you said that in those situations your mind goes back to book five of Marcus Aurelius's Meditations. Checking my version (from the Harvard Classics, translated by George Long (1800-1879)) it reads much less memorably. I figure I need a more modern translation. I have seen recommendations of four different modern translations of the Meditations, those being by Gregory Hays, Robin Hard, Scot and David Hicks, and Martin Hammond. Do you have a preferred translation and is it one of these, or another?
The flu in the Antarctic group is quite fascinating. If that can happen then there really is no defense other than a robust immune system.
Thanks for the heads-up on the new Gary Taubes book.
Which brings up the question, when is your book coming out?
Eli Lilly to open website to directly distribute Zepbound to patients.
The fox is literally in the hen house. Just another illustration of how Big Pharm is calling the shots and robbing oodles of money from all of us!
"Drugmaker Eli Lilly announced on Thursday a new website that will allow patients to get a weight loss drug prescription through a tele-health provider — a move, the company says, that will improve access to the extremely popular and effective drugs, including its recently approved drug."
“We’re used to buying consumer goods directly from manufacturers all the time on online websites,” said Lilly CEO David Ricks. Ricks said the new platform will make it easier for patients to access the drugs, cutting out the need to go to the doctor to get a prescription and then to a pharmacy to fill it.
Beautiful sunrise you saw after you remembered what Marcus Aurelius wrote (great photo of the daddy bear too wherever it came from).
Strange how things happen: I was going to email you last week asking about you migrating from Substack to a different platform as you’d mentioned that a while back, and in about a month my subscription to Substack will renew. I decided to wait until the new year and hey presto this first Arrow of 2024 you write about migrating to a new platform ! What about subscriptions to Substack though ? You didn’t mention how that is dealt with…I wouldn’t want to continue to pay Substack.
I understand that some UCLA scientists requested and received a sample of the virus from the CDC, but they weren't able to see it under their electron microscope, or whatever. Then it was sent on to Stanford and then Harvard with the same non-results.
On the “Are you sick of Covid” poll, yes with comment. I want to see heads roll! I want to see these arrogant buffoons feet held to the fire. My gut tells me there’s as much chance of that as seeing any of the creeps on the Epstein list prosecuted. I guy can wish, can’t he?
I follow Don Laymon (longtime protein researcher) on protein, so I was interested in his carb views, finally covered in a newer video interview.
He doesn't have a strong preference for either high-carb or high-fat, but recommends about a daily 100 carb grams for the typical sedentary person. Say, 20-to-40 carb grams per meal, or even match carb and protein grams per meal.
He says that the muscles prefer to oxidize fat up to about 65% maximum exertion--above that, you start to need to burn carbs. If you play tennis or do HIT, like he does, then you'll need more carbs.
He considers the average person's 300 carb grams per day consumption to be a prescription for obesity and diabetes.
He also thinks that calories need to be reduced as people age--maybe going as low as 1,400 calories per day.
Loved the post - as always, very interesting. Read the book by Claire and enjoyed it. The Ode to Joy flash mob video is one of my favorites, so thank for the repost.
Which software is this, the one you are switching to from Substack? Could I please have the URL of their website? I too am looking for something like this. Thanks
It’s been “hijacked” by the communists (small “c”), exposed to lethal levels of “Ingsoc” and “memoryholing” and so has begun to “DIE”. But those of us born before 1960 and those we have taught know the truth.
Madison is my hometown. I used to work at UW Hospitals and Clinics.
I don’t know why my friends and I called it pop, but when we got to high school, we heard some of the girls call it soda. I think each group just shortened soda pop. My grandmother called it soda pop, come to think of it. Maybe they call it pop in the Pacific Northwest?
I would be very interested in MD’s Substack. Will you be announcing its debut in the Arrow?

Thank you especially for sharing Ode to Joy.

Curious.
It’s impossible for a normally active person to avoid exposure to viruses. The only protection is a healthy immune system.
On the “Are you sick of Covid” poll, yes with comment. I want to see heads roll! I want to see these arrogant buffoons feet held to the fire. My gut tells me there’s as much chance of that as seeing any of the creeps on the Epstein list prosecuted. I guy can wish, can’t he?

Darn you! I had tears in my eyes by the end of the Ode to Joy video!
The extravagant sunsets are attributed to aerial-spraying by the anti-geoengineering websites.

Great “chatting” with you, Dr E.
