They're scared here in Sweden too. Animal heads are hazardous waste. I couldn't even make the butcher give me the ears from the lamb he slaughtered for me last year...

 

Insects? Are they rich in DHA?

 

Randy - you're not remembering your trip through SERE now are you????

 

"Many Thai edible insects have been found to contain three omega-
3 (n-3) PUFAs, namely alpha-linolenic acid (ALA, 18:3n-3), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA, 20:5n-3)
and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA, 22:6n-3), plus two omega-6 (n-6) PUFAs, namely dihomolinolenic
acid (DGLA, 20:3n-6) and arachidonic acid (ARA, 20:4n-6). DGLA was found in all insects
studied [8].The highest concentration of total fatty acids was in the giant water bug (473 mg/100g), while EPA
and DHA contents were found in all of Thai aquicolous insects, ranging from 149 to 569 mg/100g
and 57 to 264 mg/100g, respectively. This composition is much higher than that found in sand
whiting, mackerel, blue fish, sea bream, sea bass and marbled spinefoot [37]. For Thai terricolous
insects, EPA was only found in dung beetles (301 mg/100g), while DHA was only found in June
6 beetles (26 mg/100g) and Weaver ants (12 mg/100g)."

Jack, I have heard many concerns about transmissible spongiform encephalitis, are these concerns overblown? Can a high redox make prions usable? Would denaturing a large amount of dha through cooking be harmful?

 

I liked SERE. Those were the days!! I especially liked killing the rabbit barehanded, skinning it, then eating it. Yum!!

 

Thanks!

 

I love SERE too... enough so that I got to go to Fairchild and teach as part of Ops Research!!!

 

Did you eat the brain and organs?

 

the whole rabbit was consumed. the eyeball was especially juicy and salty.

 

Absolutely!

 

You'll learn about that soon enough.............Its the next blog topic.

 

Your world view has to be structured in princiiple on some specific doctrine which shapes how you function and view humanity. Embracing QED is akin to wearing steel-toed boots in a ballet-slipper world. Understanding that life is bigger than your set of challenges will help you overcome obstacles that will come your way from time to time. It's impossible to increase the scope of our worldview when all that we are focused on is ourselves. When 'MY GOALS' become 'OUR GOALS', success follows. Whatever a person's ultimate concern may be, it will have an enormous influence on everything else the person does or believes.

The foremost reason that happiness is so hard to achieve is that the universe was not designed with the comfort of human beings in mind.

The Epi-paleo Rx is designed around our epigenetic mechanisms, and not our cultural or medical beliefs............same idea Neil with different words

 

Exactly! I thought you'd like that quote.

 

Meher Baba said that the addiction to comfort is the worst addiction one can have and the hardest to come out of.....

 

That is an understatement

 

Time links to mass, energy, and both tie to DHA. No one seems to see it as I do yet. I think it will change. I told you long ago in a blog that time was a function of mass. Now I told you DHA is the most favorable way to alter the thermodynamics of mass. What you are describing without knowing it.......is consciousness. Time can and does change. Consciousness is what changes it. This is why time when you are young feels longer than time when you are old. Quantum time is a function of the quality and quantity of tunneling of electrons in the cytochromes. Quantum time determines decision time and error rate in our actions and behaviors. Both typically increase whenever the difference that must be discriminated is reduced. So a failure of tunneling of electrons leads to poor decision making, abhorring change, altering dopamine levels in your frontal lobes, and due to a lack of DHA in cell membranes, dehydration in cells, and a lack of proper ketosis or the chronic use of technology and or blue light devices.
