“Remember this, Bendigo, that it is the work a man does that matters. Many men who have made mistakes in their own lives have created grandly, beautifully. It is this by which we measure a man, by what he does in this life, by what he creates to leave behind.”

“Convenience, mass food commercialization, and the lack of blood and dirt under our fingernails have contributed to a silent but massive health epidemic. Many of us were delivered by C-section and fed synthetic baby formula that led to food allergies, obesity, and diverticular disease later in life. We survive a urinary tract infection or pneumonia by taking antibiotics, only to develop ulcerative colitis or compulsive behaviors months or years later. We refrigerate food to prolong its shelf life but deprive ourselves of the fertile growth of microorganisms that appear naturally in fermenting foods, and thereby set ourselves up for autoimmune thyroid disease and rosacea.”

“Another bacterial genus largely lost from most modern people is Oxalobacter, bacterial species that can dwell in the colon and that enthusiastically consume oxalate, a common naturally occurring compound in foods such as nuts, spinach, beets, and chocolate. In contrast, the majority of indigenous people such as the Hadza and Yanomami carry plenty of Oxalobacter species. As more modern people lose these species, they develop painful calcium oxalate kidney stones, especially following exposure to antibiotics. Most concerning, there has been a major increase in calcium oxalate kidney stones in children, especially after taking a course of antibiotics.”
