I’m glad that methylene blue is working for you, but I would personally say that there caveats for a general audience contemplating methylene blue based on what I have learned. For those interested, check out this video from Chris Masterjohn: https://chrismasterjohnphd.substack.com/p/methylene-blue-in-ten-minutes-a00
My family and I have also moved towards A2 milk. We found a local farm that sells their milk in the big box stores at a decent price.
And Aldi has been (believe it or not) our best source for pastured raised eggs. They have only been intermittently available in the last few months due to the bird flu policies, but when they’re available, they’re very decently priced.
I purchased a Mockmill 100 in 2021. I love it. It was totally worth it. Right now my favorite wheat is Wisconsin No 2 from a man with miniature donkeys https://www.anarchyacres.com/
The Alexandre 4% milk makes a really creamy yogurt. I can only get their pasturized/homogenized cartons in between Azure Standard deliveries. Whenever you find raw milk, the cheeses are fun to experiment with. Although- I thought homemade mozarella was not worth my time.
That Bulagarian yogurt is great! I love that it comes in a glass jar. I wanted to mention that I thought topo chico was high in PFAS.
We also have gravitated to a2 or goat milk, also summerhill. Our digestion just works so much better. For years, I was pescatarian/vegetarian, drinking soy milk and eschewing carbs.
However, my husband and I have gravitated toward eating meat from a great local butcher. We are also planning a chicken coup, ducks and a garden with bee hives.
He is less convinced about goats or a cow to supply our milk needs, because of the extra work involved.
We also have constructed a small pond utilizing spring water on the property and I would like to start aquafarming trout with it. Food has gotten so expensive in our area that we simply haven’t got any other choice.
Is this a good thing for society in the long run? I feel like the industrialization of our food supply has pushed people back into more self sufficient practices, not just with regard to cost, but abysmal quality.
Hopefully we can reverse the trend of factory farming. Astronomically high prices for mundane foods, like cereal, may drive corporate ag right out of business. We can only hope.
Thanks for sharing this. Dr Hyman is an excellent resource also. My wife & I have been on this path for years. We had been still eating a small amount of commercial sourdough bread but last summer I decided to get rid of American flour & bake my own sourdough. There’s been a learning curve but it’s wonderful. For flour I’m using Caputo chef’s flour
Great stuff! Food can be healthy and simplistic at the same time. I like that dinner doesn't seem like a 'fuss'. I used to feel it had to be a grandiose meal! Question: do you include any organ meat in your diet? (Particularly from the venison you hunt.)
Sir - thank you very much for this extremely helpful article! I too have been able to put my bowel disease (UC) in remission through dietary changes and have been off my medication for almost three years. My wife and I are retired and live on a small farm in NE Kansas where we are able to pasture raise our own chickens for meat and eggs as well as lamb. We have farming friends who we purchase beef and pork from currently but hope to have our own beef in a couple of years as our Dexter cows come to age. We purchase raw dairy from another farming friend but also hope to replace that here at home in the next year. We farm regeneratively and rotate our animals regularly through our two pastures. In terms of flower for bread, may I recommend to you Guardian Grains out of North Dakota. Kelly and her husband regeneratively grow heritage grains and have their own mill to process the flower. I’ve had very good luck with this for my sourdough bread and you and your wife may find it beneficial. Sorry for the long note but thank you for all you are doing as it immensely appreciated. Respectfully, Mark
Sir - I don’t pretend to be an experienced farmer but I’m happy to share anything that you might find helpful. I’ve been very happy with guardian grain flower and have spoken with Kelly on the phone a few times. She is extremely helpful and open to all the things that they do. I am hoping to explore getting grain from them for chicken feed this spring/summer. Have a great day and thank you again. Respectfully, Mark
Too many points to which I want to respond (all favorable!), but will limit myself to one at the moment: Mr. Trump has just made school choice a reality--who would have thought? That has taken decades. Likewise, this appears to be the moment for getting all states to permit sales of raw milk. I'm fortunate to live in Pa, and go through a gallon each week on my own. To get it I just drive to my local Lowe's parking lot; the farmer has many delivery routes through the state. In case any reader can benefit: https://yourfamilyfarmer.com/
Big Dairy will fight this hard; we've seen how in the RFK Jr. hearings. Also--here's where in the USA you can/cannot buy raw milk (sometimes allowed only for pets--"pets")
This looks delicious, thanks for sharing. While the majority of my diet is paleo I do love me some homemade sourdough and rice on occasion. I have celiac and I've found I can tolerate small amounts of imported wheat.
Thank you for sharing. That all sounds delicious and amazing. I too love sparkling water and used to drink Topo Chico until a good friend warned me about PFOas in Topo Chico's Water. I believe they have halved their PFOA levels but it is still to much for me. Just thought I would share.
I love your articles and look forward to the next one.
Regarding supplements: what benefits have you seen from taking methylene blue? I think I used that in chemistry classes years ago, and have heard of its use as a supplement lately, but am unfamiliar with the specific benefits of its use.

They will grind your order right before they ship. The Red Fife and Clark's Cream make excellent bread, as does the Artisan blend
that’s awesome, thank you!

It used to be, but they have since worked out the kinks in their process now its down to <4 ppm.
We also buy it in glass, so I would hope it's on the lower end of their average reported quantity.
I also wanted to mention that homemade egg noodles are super easy and require no equipment (you can cut the dough into strips with a knife).
How would I take methylene blue? Thanks! I love cheese and olives for dinner
I have around 10 drops in a glass of water.
Thank Doc!
I'm used to having methylene blue stain my hands accidentally in the operating room.
watch out for that blue pee after consumption.

Smaller meal at the end of the day is smart.

good to know, will check em out

yes, most recently heart and liver
Awesome.
How did you get into hunting btw? Be nice to learn more about how to pick up that hobby
self taught with videos and books

Thanks, Mark. It seems we are not too far apart on this beautiful continent.
We will definitely check out that grain. All the best.

Thank you for sharing. I just started methylane blue. I am happy to see it on your list of supplements.

There's a variety on Amazon I like and I tolerate well, although I'd prefer it to be organic: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01ERE2YNK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1.
I also use this for the starter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B017212R3W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
You can set up subscribe and save with these too so we have it regularly delivered to restock our pantry.
Thanks, Jen

For myself, mental clarity. Others in my family have reported reversal of irritable.
I think it's benefit depends on what your problems are.
It's a root metabolic function addressing supplement.
