Boonta Vista - UNLOCKED BONUS EPISODE: The Theo Philes XI - A Man Named River / Welcome To Bean House

Episode Date: July 7, 2022

Theo and Ben bring you: The next generation of chiropractic wisdom, and a perfect reality TV show wasted on 19th century medical science.

Hey, it's me, Ben from the podcast, Buntavista. I'm recording this in a hotel room in beautiful Emerald, Queensland. I'm recording this on my phone, not into a nice microphone because I am on holiday, ostensibly, sort of. My car is in the mechanics. It has been for the last two days. It will be for another day. So my very brief overnight stay in Emerald has turned into a beautiful three-day holiday. Which is fine. I'm actually having a very nice time. All I'm doing is like drinking beers and walking and reading my book and it's been very nice. The episode that you're about to hear, which if Andrew has correctly followed my instructions, is the free

episode for this week, which was a paywall episode from last week. This is an episode of the Theo files that I've done with Theo. It's a good one I think I really like it. I think you will too. If you want to get exclusive bonus episodes or bonus episodes, you know a week later that I've then unpaywalled, check out the Buntavista Patreon, you'll love it. I hope you're doing well. I hope you're thriving. Yeah, enjoy. Come one, come all and gather round we'll tell our tales to thee.

Of saints and hores and demon cause of sights for all to see. Come ye all around the fire and listen all the while. To tales of holes and mystery. We call the Theophiles. We call the Theophiles. All right. Yeah. Hey, welcome to another edition of The Theophiles. I'm not sure what number. I don't know if we number these. I'm Theo and I'm your friend. You don't need me to tell

you that. As you greet me, I take your hand and shake it, while giving you three sturdy patts on the shoulder with my other hand as friends at ease might. Here he is, I say to you with a smile. And of course I'm also here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here here to to to to to to to to to to the the other the other the other the other the other to the other the other to the other to to to to to to to to to to to to to to their their the other the other the other their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their th.

And of course I'm also here with your other friend Ben. Ben greets you with a full hug given without reservation and gives you a sincere, hello beautiful. It's Ben. That is how I greet people. Yeah. Yeah. Just two of my pals here with us. Yep. Me, you and Ben. And I gotta say, honestly, it's so good having two friends like you two two. You ever read those tweets or articles that are like, you know, oh, I don't mind being friends with different politics and beliefs and stuff. Like, that just sounds like a fucking nightmare to me.

And I've got brackets, in brackets here, riffing, Ben. Yeah, oh, absolutely. I don't think I actually have many friends with very different political beliefs to me, because I live in one of those bubbles that they talk about all the time where I only like people who I don't think are monsters. Yeah, yeah, and certainly you fall into, not Ben, you, but you. You, our friend, you, the empirical you. Certainly fall into that bucket as well, just wonderful politics on you.

So good that we agree on everything. So great. Oh, I mean the fundamental stuff, right? Yeah. It's good to have that down, Pat. I'm any, anyway, like, I'm sorry, actually, I'm sorry to ask, are you good, to, to, to, to, to, to, to to, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to thi, to to, to, to, to, to, to, that, that, that, that, that, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, they. And, they. And, the the the the the the the the the th.. And, th. And, th. And, thi, thi, thi, thi, thin, the, tho, tho?e?e? And, thoooomoomorrow, thoooomorrow, thooomorrow, tooomorrow, thoomorrow, tho? And, tho. And, down, Pat. Anyway, like I'm sorry, actually I'm sorry to ask, but are you good to drive? Like, I can spot you for petrol money. I know the price, Ben and I were just talking about the price before you got here.

Price, press petrol's pretty fucked at the moment. So that's no worries, we can spot you for that. Oh, it's just Ben and I have been wondering, thi, I, I, I, I, th, th, I, th, th, th, th, to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the, to to to to to to sp, to to to spa, the, the the, the, the, the, to spot you to spot you to spot you the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, I, I the, I, I, I the, I the, I the, I the, I, I the, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, th, th...... th. to spot, to spot you th. to spot you to spot you to spot you tho. tho. to spot you tho. tho. to spot you th. the, I, the, I, I, I, wondering, you know, what's your calendar look like for the next nine days or so? But... Oh, sorry, I know it's a bit, it's probably a bit hard to see on Google calendar on your phone. But look, like, just, what do you reckon? How much saliva could you produce on an average night? I mean, like, ballpark? Like... Now, you don't have to give me an exact answer, just like is it like half a mason jar or like don't worry if you can't do that much straight

away your glands will grow muscular with the time. Like I mean check out Ben Ben show them your glands. Check these out. I don't know how how would you show your glands to a person you reckon? I'd probably go ah as a start, yeah. Yeah, look at these. Yeah, ah, yeah. Yeah, hey, also, have you been out to Kingroy? I know it's sort of Joe Bielke-Petison country out there. It's the peanut capital of Queensland.

It is the peanut capital of Queensland. If not the world. Just because we're going there. But, like also, the soil is just this beautiful red volcanic color which really lends the wet obelisks and otherworldly quality I think. Oh yeah, sorry, the wet obelis. Yeah, so what Ben and I like to do to wind down is get out there in the scrub, dig into that glorious red soil with our hands and using our spit, we take the dirt and we wet in it and we build these wet obelisks and they're like, well Ben, they're your thing.

How would you describe them? Well, I think if you've ever seen the Sawbass movie Phase 4. And I haven't. No, there's definitely there wasn't even a chance in my mind that you personally would have seen phase four. And I haven't. No, there's definitely there wasn't even a chance in my mind that you personally would have seen phase four. Well the the giant mysterious obelisks that these irradiated ants start building out in the desert. They're sort of kind of what we're doing except they're not they're not dry. They're very, they're quite dense. Yeah, that's where the saliva comes in. That's sort of why I asked. It the they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they're they're they're they're they're kind they're kind they're kind they're kind they're kind they're kind they're kind they're kind they're kind they're kind they're kind they're kind they're kind they're kind they're kind they're kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind they're kind they're kind. They're kind. They're kind. They're kind kind. They're kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind. They're kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind kind they're kind they're kind. They're kind they're kind. They're kind. They're kind. They're kind. They're kind. They're kind. They're. They're. They're. They're. They're. They're. They're. They're. They're. They're. They're kind. They're kind. They're kind. They're kind of. They're kind of, kind of, kind of, kind of, kind of, kind of, kind of, kind of, kind of, kind of, kind of, kind of, kind of, kind of, they're, kind. They're kind. They're kind. They're quite dense. Quite thin, yeah, that's where the saliva comes in. That's sort of why I was, it wasn't like, yeah, they're kind of phallic, but not by design, it's just that if you build, you know, like a tall, narrow object.

Yeah, if you build enough obelisks, you're gonna get some dicks. Yeah, and I have been digging holes in a holes as a, to, to, to, to, th. objects in there as well. Yeah. Because I don't want that to be the vibe. I don't want people to see our beautiful obelisks of moisten King Roy earth and think, ugh, you know, little very testosterone heavy out here. And it's not just because you get the holes for free. Like if you're giving an obelisk you do get the hole for free but yeah. Yeah, so much more than that. Yeah, the obelisk, the obelisk, the obelisks, the obelisks, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, they, the obelisks, you're the obelisks, you're the obelisks, they, you're the the the their, you're their, you're the the the the the the oboes, you're the the obelisks, the the their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Oh, th. Obelisks, th. Obelisks, thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, thoes, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, obelis-oes, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, they. Oh, build one obelisk, get yourself a hole as they say. Yeah, but unlike the obelisks which are sopping wet with our refractory liquids, the holes completely dry. Yep. It's ironic, isn't it? Yeah. I think. Yeah. And yeah, I mean, we usually do this for like two, three weeks at a time, I think. But totally understand if you only got a week or so to build wet obelisk subsistively day and night until our clothes split off our backs and lines like wet stones.

No. Four days is barely going to smooth in your mind into 50 grit. Whereas we want them to be gleaming, ready for the blade of thought to be honed upon. That's right. Like I mean it's also just going to depend on how much leave you have. Yeah and maybe if you don't have enough leave you can sort of take it at like at like half-paid leave. Yeah my work does a thing with half-pay. Yeah which I think it's you know that could work out pretty you know. I also get like a couple like a like a like a like a like a like a the the the the the the th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th to get like a couple to get like a couple to get like a couple to get like a couple tho tho to to to tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho th tho th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tho tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha tha th it's you know that can work out pretty good like you still getting paid, you know I also get like a couple of days of charity leave as well like if I want to go and volunteer and this is I think volunteering for a worthwhile cause which and the cause is simply the wet obelisks right like so as an example You used some of your charity leave in the wake of the early 2022 Brisbane floods to come help clean up my friends My friend's farm that got flooded yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like, like the the the the the the the the the the their their their their their their their tho-au-au-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a, I th.. th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I th, I tho, I tho, I tho, I tho, I tho, I tho, tho' thooooooooooooooooomuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuiiiii-y-a'-a'-a, I thoom, floods to come help clean up my friend's farm that got flooded. Yeah. And you, the third person in this situation, could use

your charity leave to come help feverishly build some mounds out in Kingeroy. Yeah, let your fingers and armpits and mouths fill with dirt, I think, out in the scrub, in the bush. It's only a three-hour, I think, out in the scrub, in the bush. It's only a three-hour drive, I think, from memory, for those three hours whip by. Yeah, beautiful country out that way as well. Astonishing drive. Again, it's such a shame that it's populated, not entirely, but largely by, you know, retrograde conservatives. Yeah.

Worshipping at the fascist corrupt altar of Jobi-Keown, but, the dirt, the sky's out there, as you're working, day and night, eyelids unclosing. Yeah. You get, I took, I took my camera out there, sort of set the focal length to infinite up on the stand, I think about 20 second exposure time. Hmm, you get some sumptuous milky way there. And you, sometimes you have to double check that setting your focus point at the infinity marked on the lens is actually at the horizon because sometimes cheaper or poorer lenses they won't actually correlate with those two things.

So you can't just do it by right. Yeah, you got to double check those. Yeah. Do you want to, this thing I've never kind of stopped to do the maths on the timing there because there is a function that's like, you know, if your lens is this and, you know, whatever, you probably only want to do 15 seconds or less or 20 seconds or less. Do you want a, do you want a shorter focal length or a longer focal length for doing the stars? I always forget, because I had a pancake lens and that worked quite well. You want a shorter focal length? Yes. So that's why the pancake lens worked. Yeah, the less, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, whatever, you, whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever, you, whatever, whatever, whatever, you, you, whatever, you, you, whatever, you, you, you, you, whatever, you, you, you, whatever, whatever, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, you, whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever, the th- whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever, the th-to, whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever, whatever, th-to, whatever, whatever, the tho, the the the the the, the, the the stars I always forget because I had a pancake lens and that worked quite well. You want a shorter focal length. Yes, okay so that's why the pancake lens worked.

Yeah, less visible movement in the stars certainly than you would get if it was on a longer focus. Yeah and you can kind of just stick that there and put that on time lapse while you you sink your your hands down to your elbows down to your shoulders in the earth. Yeah, smearing yourself with yourself yourself the elbows the the the the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their. their movement. their. their. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I. Yeah. Yeah. I. Yeah. Yeah. I. I. I was. I was. Yeah. I was. Yeah. I was. Yeah. I. Yeah. I. I was. S. S. S. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. S. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. earth. Yeah. Smearing yourself with that sacred mud that you have created in a compact with the earth feverishly. Yeah. But like I said, yeah, a bit of a drive out there while we're doing that, let's fill in the first hour with some weird stuff. Yeah, that sounds great.

Yeah. So on the last theophiles, I think from memory, I think this was the last the last tha last tha last tha last thoes thoes that sounds great. Yeah. So on the last Theophiles, I think, from memory, I don't, I think this was the last one. We read from the bizarre screed of the chiropractic. Is that the last one? Do you think the previous one that we did? I think that might be right. The last one we did was the Theophiles 10, I believe. Yeah. Oh, no. So the last one was actually about giving hallucinogenic drugs or psychotrips substances to small creatures. Like fish and yeah. Yes, and I believe I did a collection of very, very old jokes. That is the episode of Theophiles X, Dias X, mystery snail slash a fuck for every shit. Oh God, that's so shameful. Previous to that, we talked about the chiropractic,

the foundational text of the chiropractic discipline, for which you are eligible for five bulk build visits a year through Medicare, I found out. It must be a real science thing, and I do want to dive into that. The last time I think we kind of made it out to be this crank thing though. We sort of arrived at the fact that it's I mean I think I picked out of the first hundred pages and we never got to the point where we adjusted any bones or anything like that it was all about you know unifying with the godhead through the correct application of the religio Medici. Couldn't have said it better myself. But that's D.D. Palmer so D.Palma was the guy that I don't

have invented is the right word but it came to him as as something might come to you. And that of course of of of of the the the tho tho tho the tho tho tho thuu. thu. thu. thi thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. thi. the the the thi. thi. thi. th. th. th. I th. I the the god. I the god. I the god. I the god. I the god. I the god. I the god. I the god. I the god. I the god. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I. I thi. I. I thi. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. I'm. t. toda. t. t. toda. t. today. th. th. the the the the the the the word but it came to him as something might come to you. And that of course was his name before he joined the Ramones. Yeah. But and he was also the self-described, he had a whole bunch of names for himself like the old master etc. Self-described fountainhead which I think means something like the font of knowledge but it's also the name of a club you can go to get peed on. So that's nice. But if if Dee Didi Didi Didi Didi Didi Didi Didi Didi Didi D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. th. th. th. th. He's is is the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the th. He. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D.D.D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. D. But if D.D. Palmer invented it, his son B.J. Parma, who probably murdered D.D. Palmer with his car. Potentially, we don't know, but probably. B.J. took the chiropractic and developed it into a scientific discipline, and introduced rigor,

science, measurements. So I think this week we'll get a bit more into the science of what makes the chiropractic work. So we'll read specifically from the subluxation specific book by BJ Palmer, subtitled an exposition of the cause of all disease. This is going to pair so nicely with what I have for you. This is absolutely delightful. And Ben, I hope you don't mind me spoiling things for you to say that that cause of all disease?

You bet your ass, it's bones. I thought it might be bones. I don't know how you got that, but it is bones. Now, so I'll just read the inlay of this because I think it does help us get into the right mindset for accepting this information. In entering into the study of this book and its work, each should, so far as possible, lay aside for the time being all previous theories, beliefs, teachings and practices. By so doing, you'll be saved the trouble of trying, all the way through, to force, quote,

new wine into old bottles. Hmm. If there is anything as we proceed, which you do not understand or agree with, let it lie passively in your mind until you have studied and gone through the book the third time. For many statements that would first arouse antagonism and discussion will be clear and easily accepted further on after mature reflection and after repeated understanding. After you have given the book mature deliberation if you wish to return to your old beliefs and ways of living you are

at perfect liberty to do so. If you want to go back to being a fucking dumbass sort of just wanking in a cave. Sure, your choice. Your choice. But if you want to move some bones around and ascend to heaven. I don't think I would have a particularly hard time getting new wine into old bottles. Yeah, well, I mean, maybe they didn't have funnels yet. Maybe they didn't realize they didn't have emptying bottles technology at that point. No. Sorry, I thought the, I th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th th tho, I tho, I tho, I tho, I tho, I tho, I tho, I tho, I tho, I tho, I tho, I thu, I'd thuic, I thoom-a' thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. thu. tho, tho, tho, tho, the, tho, tho, thu. thi thi thi thi thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thu. thu. thu. to to to to thu. to to to toooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooomu. thu. thu. technology at that point. No. Sorry, I thought the you won't be ascending to heaven thing would be, sorry, it was a little

derivative and then I forgot the next sentence. But for the time being, become as little children for said the master, who I think is D.D. Palmer, quote, except ye become as little children, ye can in no wise enter the kingdom of heaven. That's so true. So true. You're saying it more and more. So getting into this book, it's almost as bizarrely written as the chiropractor, the one from Dede Parma.

It has about 40 pages of preface and foreword, which ramble through the basis of human knowledge, discipline, pages of pages upon court proceedings, which say that legally you cannot fuck with the chiropractic. But that's sort of, yeah, I mean, that's not the content of it. What are we getting? Quote, we have not in this publication gone into the intricacies or the technique of how to build up a chiropractic adjustment. So don't go expecting how to move bones around just yet.

Believing those details and matters of instruction in a school devoted to that subject, where time can be spent pursuing the course essential to production and building of a chiropractor. In no sense then, is this book a substitute for a chiropractic course of instruction. It does, however, aim to present groundwork in fundamental principles in the latest development of chiropractic principle and practice. No problems. Sounds straightforward. So the last time when we talked about D.D. Palmer, we came to the conclusion that he was something like a Gnostic Libertarian, which is a horrible pairing of words.

A nibatarian, I believe, as we call them. And his son BJ, who probably murdered him with a car, is absolutely this too. But he was also like a success mindset, Tick-Tock entrepreneur. Like he's the kind of guy who writes Twitter threads with two breaklines every sentence and tags in Elon Musk on shit he thinks is like really really cool and clever. Uh-huh.

So just just briefly dipping into the forward about science and the importance of staying on your grind. Thomas, I quote, Thomas A. Edison sort specifics. Passing through the Smithsonian Institution, Electrical Department, I saw hundreds of globes accredited to Mr. Edison. Why so many? Thousands of elements were tested, tried, tried and thrown away. Each element tried, gave light. Each element tried, gave light. Each element tried gave light. Each element tried gave light. Each element tried gave light. Each element tried

gave light. He sought a specific that would attain, now in, specific is not used here as an adjective. They're using it as a noun. Yeah, he's going to go on doing that. Yeah, he's going to go on doing that. Yep. He's sort a specific that would attain more light with less electricity. There's a lot of things in all caps here, as is the way of a nutter. Each succeeded in its way in time, but none attained the greatest efficiency in reaching that ultimate goal. Insofar as they gave more light, they succeeded. Insofar as some of them burned more electricity and gave less light than others, they failed

to reach his ultimate objective specific. See Mr. Edison in his laboratories. Thousands of wires, different metals, different sizes, different chemical compositions, tested, different chemical compositions, tested, some succeeding more, others left, thousands of fiber, fibers of various vegetable and growing strings were secured, tried and tested, some seeding more, others left, Oh, giving light! He was always seeking that one combination of conditions that would resist transmission greatest greaest electricity, which would give greatest white heat to radiate greatest white light.

That's sort of like when you're young and you're trying to work out which jack-off technique is the best. Yeah. To consume less electricity to perform more work to radiate more light. Finally came the vacuum tube and tungsten wire. Today the Mazda Globe gives more light and has materially reduced the consumption of electricity. Contrast, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. There's so much of this. Mr. Edison could have stopped any time, any place. He had produced light. He was not content

to stop. He was content only as he created more light with less electricity. In ratio, as he produced more light, he used less electricity. And as he used less electricity, he created more light. Well, that follows. Yeah, I don't stop doing that now. Was Mr. Edison interested in blowing glass bubbles? Was he interested in making money? Do you know the single fucking, like a single thing about Thomas Edison?

Like a single thing about Thomas Edison like a single thing about Thomas Edison I love the fucker loved making money he love making glass bulbs that's yeah it was just a big bulb guy yeah well I may as well put something in there might as well be an element expound on whether we're talking wet bulb or dry bulb but this man loves just making his section between wet bulbs and dry bulbs. Why did he keep on experimenting, testing, trying different materials, never fully satisfied, grind mindset, keep at it 10,000 hours of creating bubbles? If he's only interested in creating light in a glass globe he

could have stopped years before was Was light the only objective? He had in mind an ultimate objective and he wanted it to live in reality through the globe. The ultimate goal, if there be an ultimate, was cold light akin to the firefly or glowworm. Men had so far attained only heat light, building up resistance to greatest heat, white and color, which is light as a byproduct. So this goes on for yonks. And he's using this as a metaphor to just describe the process of working on something until it's better. And I think that they, so he is in the foreword, although we haven't found this out yet,

describing, working at the chiropractic. To make it better than his dad's. Yeah, but also they do say, in a part that I have not clipped here, that it emerged fully formed and nothing could be added or taken away from. So, that's cool. Yeah. Is Henry Ford interested in building cars seeing how many he could sell? Is he interested in making it amassing money? Yes, is he concerned in earning money or in using money to some other end?

Let me quote Mr. Ford. Quote, I don't know how many cars Chevrolet sold last year. I don't know how many they're selling this year, I don't know how many they may sell next year, and I don't care. I can tell you something that Henry Ford was concerned about. Yeah, the Jews. The Jews. That... Um, so, he goes on like this for pages and pages.

He goes on like with the plane and how things used to suck when we were on the ground, but now we're in the air, etc., etc. Before finally bringing it around. Didn't D.D. Palmer give an adjustment to Harvey Lillard and wasn't his hearing restored? That's so fucking funny to me, like popping a bone. You know, ah! This is straightening someone's elbow. My God! Someone played this man Beethoven immediately.

Like those do-do videos of babies hearing for the first time. Then was the time for all chiropractice to sit down and be content. There was the principle and practice. It worked. What more could anyone demand? That's loser talk. Not BJ Palmer. He's fucking, he's going to the next level. Thousands of ideas came, went, were substituted in subsequent years, time and again. Our people and their work were in fluxed, nothing finally settled. All in turmoil.

Few followed the parade. Many were content to sit and wait, quote, until it was finished, little realizing that nothing is ever completed. Oh, nothing is ever completed. Yeah. Yeah. For years, Chiropractic was founded on beliefs and faiths and theories and hypotheses. Now is the builded, now it is

buloted on scientific data which man can secure for himself. Oh, I didn't know that the word built was a recent introduction into English. Yeah, I don't think it was. Even as a boy, in the very youth of my life in chiropractic, I made a vow, all caps, that I would live to so develop chiropractic that it would find and locate and be able to correct a specific cause for every disease in the human body, and to so develop this philosophy and art that it would be made scientific, where it would be recognized as scientific men, and so proved by the use of scientific instruments.

Now to me, that's sort of the wrong point to start out to say, hey, chiropractic will and does solve everything, I've just got to prove it. Yes, yeah. That is kind of... Well, I mean, that's not bad science. He started with a hypothesis. And then next he's going to move to prove to prove to prove to prove to prove to prove to prove the other to the other to the other to the other to to the other the other to, the other to, the the the to, the the the the the their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their. I, their. I, their. I'm, their. I'm, their. I'm, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, their, th. I, th. I. I. I. I. I. I'm, th. I'm, th.e. I'm, th.e.eat.eat.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e....................... It. It's, th. It's, that's not bad science he started with a hypothesis and then next he's going to move to and I can't remember any of the other steps in the scientific method. Yeah. But you know I think he's... There's a lot of bones involved. Yeah. So we're going to read a little from the first chapter to

get enough of an idea as to why the chiropractic works to heal every known disease, and why every medical professional until this point in history was a well-intentioned but gauntless shithead. It's kind of cool that there's this desperate craving for a like grand unified theory. Yeah. That like instead of just being like, well the body's a very complex organism with lots of microorgans and stuff and there there many different elements, you know, things can just happen. You fucking idiot. Yeah, no, it's actually, it's a very simple. You world's moron.

All right, here we go. Uh, hold on to that, that thought. We're going to skip the five different dictionary definitions he gives for the word specific. He's a big Webster's defines whatever, guy. We begin, and as I read this, mentally your mind should be doing the South Park, this is what chiropractors actually believe blinking text the whole time? Yeah, sure. Cool. Quote, for 5,000 years, the medical profession have been, the medical profession have been, the whole time? Yeah, sure. Cool. Quote, for 5,000 years the

medical profession have been, the medical profession have been consistently seeking a specific cure of, a specific for the cure of all diseases. First one way, then another, they have woven off and on the stage of human effort, always to the same end. Millions of dollars. Millions of bodies have been desiccated both human and animal, dead and alive. Laboratories of all kinds have been used. Libraries have been written, revised and discarded. Today they have 148 quote specific serums for 148 quote specific diseases as a net result. So funny to put a number to that. It's like those gender guys are like, oh, do you hear they think there's actually like 92 genders now?

It's so funny, and they just feel like they feel compelled to add more to that number. Like, 148, he pulled that 100% out of his ass. Like, that's not will be thrown into discard, given a few years. Hey, got any serums? Fuck them off! Yeah, throw out your serums. Your serums are useless.

They are worthless now. For 5,000 years, that profession has run the race down through blood and blood remedies to purify the blood. Nerve exhaustion with nerve tonics, serum specifics for germ diseases. They have long sought that elixir which could eradicate diseases from the human race, that they might step up the efficiency of that race, that they might think more clearly, function more normally. Yeah, let me tell you buddy. 2022, still not functioning more normally.

I'm functioning less normally, I think. Oh, should we mention, because I don't think we've said this yet, you have, and I think I'm pronouncing this correctly, the novel coronavirus? You have COVID. So, Webster defines the word novel. And having... Yeah, let me just have a little, so, this is actually from Oxford, a fictitious prose narrative of book length, typically representing character and action with some degree of realism. Yeah, do they have a definition for the adjectival use of that word they?

Oh, I didn't know. That was what we were referring to. Yes. Let me just try that. Let's see. From Latin novellus from Novus New. Interesting, new or unusual. And on this podcast, I certainly have kind of made fun. Made a lot of jokes, made light of coronavirus, thinking that doing that was new and interesting. Yeah, it's ironic, isn't it? A little ironic, I believe. But now, through my lived experiences, I've grown, I've become more of a man.

And it's, it has finally taught me, I think, that when it comes to the novel coronavirus, to me, it's not seeming like it is so novel novel anovirus. Kind of the novelty is worn on. It's not seeming like it is so novel anymore. Kind of the novelty is worn off. The novelty is wared off now that you have. Now that I have the novel coronavirus. To you it's just the coronavirus. To me, or you know, I think by this point, several days into it, the passe coronavirus.

Yeah. And that's very interesting that you say that. I haven't had the novel coronavirus. No. th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, the the thi, the the the thi, thi, thi, the thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi thi the thi, thi very interesting you say that. I haven't had the novel coronavirus and I don't think I ever will. No. Which leaves me alone I won the dead pool. Yeah we didn't actually yeah we I proposed the dead pool and I'm got zero takers. Yeah well perhaps we should try. I go back to those chat logs I think I was proposing maybe five hundred dollars for a dead pool. And you could be rifling through $500.

$500, one-third of which coming from my pocket for having caught the novel coronavirus, now now the passe coronavirus. But you weren't. You didn't take it up. I didn't. No, because I was relatively convinced of the four of us I was going to be the first first first first first first. instead of the four of us, I was going to be the first because I have like an actual job. Well, I, no, that seems a very unfair way to characterize yours, but I, uh... Yeah, you leave the house. And my problem was I did, I did leave the house.

Yeah. I left the sanctity of Brisbane. Do you reckon you picked it up in Melbourne? Oh, I had to have been. Where else the diseases come from? So you, you, th. So, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, th, th, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, the, the, the, yeah, the, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, the, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, the, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, the the the the the the the, the the, the, the, the, the, the, the the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the with the three of you with COVID. And I still didn't get it. Oh yeah, yeah, you did. Yeah. Huh. Well hopefully some manipulation of your bones can solve this. Absolutely.

I'll tell you what, what doesn't solve it, extracting teeth because they quote, create a toxin in the body necessitating an antitoxin. I love like so much of this quackackackackackack, this qua. th. th. th. th. th. Yeah, thia. Yeah, thia, thia, thia, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi- it, thi, thi, thi- I thi, thi, thi, thi- it, thi- it, thi- it, thi- it, thi- it, thi- it, thi- it, thi- it, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. I thin, thi. I thin, thiiiiiiiiioli. Yeah, thi. Yeah, thi. Yeah, thi, thi, thi, thi, th quote create a toxin in the body necessitating an antitoxin. I love like so much of this quack stuff how his like ridicule of science is based on like a complete misunderstanding of science and I know it's like 1930 but pretty certainly they're just pulling teeth out because they're all fucked up Yeah and you don't want him in your head anymore. Yeah not because your teeth are because they're all fucked up. Yeah. And you don't want them in your head anymore. Yeah, not because your teeth are generating poison. Yeah. I mean they are if you need to get a root canal or whatever. That's pretty well understood. Um, but that doesn't stop him I don't think. Yeah. They've

pursued fashion after fashion, fad after style after style. Not like, not like the chiropractic though. No, this isn't a fad. Well, I mean, it's kind of, it's not a fad, because here we are 90 years later and it's on the fucking Medicare schedule, schedule. Never arriving at a specific for the cury of any disease. The answer of the failure is simple. No personal group of persons, no matter how they work, ever can or ever will locate a specific for cure of any disease.. of of of of of of of to to to to to to to to to to the disease. It to the disease. It to any the disease. It to any to any to any the to the to th th th th th to th thi thi. It is th th thi. It's thi. It's thi. It's th th th that. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It's. It is th. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It. It th. It th. It th. It th. It the th. It's th. It the the th. It's the thi. It's thi. It's not thi. It's not thi. It's not thi. It's not thii. It's not thi. It's not thi. It's not thi. It's not thi. It's group of persons, no matter how they work, ever can or ever will locate a specific for cure of any disease. Disease is an effect. No cure can ever be found for cure of any effect.

No cure can ever be found for cure of any effect. So long as effect is effect, it has a course. Yeah. That's true. Yeah. I agree. To call one effect, a cause of another effect is to play the vicious cycle of the dog chasing its town.

I love it. I love these guys getting caught up in what the words mean. Yeah. As opposed to how people get sick. They're semanticsing their way into science. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's. That's. That's. Yeah. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. That's. that's. That's. That's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. that's. that's. that's. that's. that's. It's that's that's true. that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's that's to. to. th. sick. They're semantics in their way into science. Yeah. And it's pretty funny because at this point, I think there is a point to be drawn about medicine and healing and stuff in the realm of Western history, right? Because we were doing a lot of, you know, bone soaring, bone shortening,

bone lengthening, you know, putting taps into people's heads or whatever going, yeah, yeah, that'll help you. Yeah, I never really like understanding that you have to check a whole bunch of cases to see whether that's real until, until basically the guy that cured Skirvy, right, where they took a bunch of people on one side and a bunch of people on the other side and they gave a bunch of them lemon juice, one side they gave lemon juice, the other side they didn't, and they saw what happened, right? Yeah, I was actually listening to something about the discovery of using citrus to treat scurvy.

That we figured out that that's what did it and then somehow popular opinion turned against it and they decided it was something else entirely. Yeah, yeah, it took them like 50 years to implement. Yeah, which is so wild. They like got it and they were like, no, that's probably not it though. Yeah but they weren't I think this is in the mid-1700s and they weren't I don't think they were ready for like the fact that they checked. Yeah. But that they checked where that it did it? Well they didn't believe in experiments at that point. They're like. They didn't believe in it. Yeah they're like, they're like, wow just because you demonstrated it doesn't mean it's real. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.this guy. Great. It's very cool. So medical men sought a specific for the cure of disease. Chiropractic sort of specific cure, sorry, sort of specific

cause of disease. So I kind of get, this is the, yeah, this is the line that they're drawing here, right? That, okay. So if you take Skurvy as an example, that's, that's a disease that you would catch. The cause, the cure of it, right, is vitamin C. Right? That's not the cause of, like not having enough vitamin C is not the cause, the cause of getting scurvy, is somewhere in between C1 and C2, to cthat's right. Manual subluxation. Yeah, it requires a karate chop from a man named River. Yeah. So, this is and is not so. The medical cause and effect were not related and were frequently antipodal to each other. Medical men say, quote, high blood pressure, germs, environment, heredity, contagion and

infection, wrong diet, poisons in the system, unbalanced Unbalanced chemistry. Drinking water contained poisons. Milk contained tuberculosis germs. I don't want that. Pork contained Trichner. Impure blood. Now Trichner is that one with nematodes. Oh is it? Yeah. That's the nematode thing. And many others were specific causes of many diseases. Now, yeah. Yeah. But I don't think he's setting this up to agree with it. What if that wasn't the case? They sought specific cures for reducing high blood pressure, killing germs, to modify environment, cure disease in the living, in spite cause of hereditary in the dead? Disinfection and infection,

change diet, purified drinking water, sterilize milk, inspect meats, vegetables and foods with the pure food acts. Just a quick like anti-regulation thing there as well, antitoxin serums, etc. And I would say like reading those and all of those are completely successful. Yeah, we have to pasteurize milk now, and for very good reasons. He's a big, he's a big raw milk guy, more. Um, diseases are classified as, quote, constitutional, cardiac, respiratory, febrile, febrile, febrile, febrile,

yeah, I think. That's of the like breeding? Having or showing the symptoms of a fever. Yeah. So when I've been going into the doctor and saying, Doctor, I'm feeling very breedable. They've agreed, tuard you around and then... You have the novel coronavirus. Mental, genito urinary, unknown origin, nervous.

Yeah, I got that. Secretions and excretions. Two different things. The two big ones. Eye, ear, nose and throat. Sexual. While each is thus classified, each local organic condition has a general effect on the balance of the body and the balance of the body has an effect on each local

organic condition, it's impossible to distinctly set forth any individuality of independence of any from all the rest. So what they... so he's saying a lot of words to basically say that you can't say one of these things is the cause of it. You have to consider the whole of the person. As long as you're talking about their spinal column. Yeah, right. Yes. You have to consider that it's complex and it could be any number of one of their twoe and

their twoixtones. . Yeah. bones. One of 216 bones. Yeah, the majority of their specific causes were far removed from the character of their specific cures. If germs were removed from all things natural external to man, all life would cease. The moment we enter man, all natural and rational reasoning ceases. Yeah, I have certainly experienced that myself. For the record, sorry, 206 bones in the human body, not 216. Don't correct me.

I'm just saying this now because I could have done this in post and I don't want to. Yeah. Yeah. Medical men substitute medical science. Germs become a cause of everything dead in man. Germ life in milk must be killed. We pasteurize milk. Germs in man must be killed, for they kill man.

There is no interrelationship between germs and killing germs to cure disease. There is, I mean, I can draw a very straight line between the meat that I improperly smoked. Yeah, the infamous lukewarm, was that was it pork that you were doing? What was it? I was a beef brisket. Yeah, that you did it at about 40 degrees. About 40 degrees, nice and warm. Get some of that tropical beef going, and then going to the hospital next day with tropical beefitis.

Nurse I cannotical beefitis. Nurse, I cannot stop beefing. I've been beefing every 20 minutes. But you must. Because I need to examine you. Um. Um, I think that there's an interrelations between germs and killing germs to cure disease. Right.

Just personally, like you can kill germs. You personally are a theory of, a proponent of the germ theory of disease. Yeah. And this guy believes in germs, he just thinks that they're rad. They're very cool. You give me a germ in a shape of a bone? Maybe I'll start paying attention. Um, but in seeking a specific for the chiropractic cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause cause to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to the to to the to to to to to to the to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to a to a to a to a to a to a to a to a to a to a to a to a to a to a to to to a to to a to a to to the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the the theory of of a the the start paying attention. But in seeking a specific for the chiropractic cause of disease, and that all-cap stuff

has not ended by the way, it's still very much going, the approach was on the obvious fact, all caps, that the cause and cure were internal to man. Therefore, the absence of any and all alibis or external application, injections, etc., reliance being placed on innate intelligence, capital I, go and check out episode 9. If you want to know more about innate intelligence, which is within. So, you can't just like add germs to somebody and get them sick. They were already sick. They had a sickness of the bones.

Hmm. In absence of knowledge, the human mind offers substitutes. It's certainly happening a lot here. In absence of ability, the human mind offers alibis. In absence of facts, the human mind manufactures denials. The medical profession have never found the cause of any disease. Hence, have never been able to cure disease. Until now, we know that the cause of COVID-19 is the novel coronavirus.

We know that. That's the one exception. Yeah. Germs, inheritancy, environment, are offered as substitute. What the fuck does this guy think, like, happened to Phineas Gage? I think that's like safely an environmental thing, right? No, bones. If someone had simply straightened Phineas Gage's spine. Yeah, if his posture was good, that railroad spike would have sailed right over his head. If he...

Fuck, he got us! If he had been keeping his wallet in a front pocket instead of a back pocket so he wasn't slightly offsetting how he was sitting, and that's giving himself some shoulder troubles, wouldn't have been a problem. In presence of knowledge of specific cause of all disease, the chiropractor finds no necessity to substitute alibi or manufacture denial. His reasoning is affirmative and positive. Oh yeah, his brain's got big dick energy. Yeah. Bones, that'll be $150. No facts, just vibes. With presence of ability to adjust cause, sick get well.

I love how many of these just sound like cavemen, try to describe modern medicine. 100%. With cause absent, innate intelligence becomes present. Mental impulse interference is released and restoration occurs. I think that's called post-nut clarity now. That's right, yeah. In days gone by when the chiropractor did not know the specific cause of all disease, he too substituted 22 vertebrae when he had no ability, so quick on uh... chiropractice prior

and who thought that uh... the cause of all disease was somewhere in the bones uh... whereas now we know exactly where they are in the bones in other words fuck you dad yeah when he had no ability to uh... Yeah, you stupid piece of shit I'm gonna kill you with my car when he had no ability-

Big, Botherfucker. To locate accurately V cause, our group mind alibied with physiotherapies. When we did, bluck, we stumbled with substance tooes for ignorance. Alibis for incompetency and manufactured denials for health. External cause medically. External cause medically is the antithesis of internal cause chiropractically. Neither is external cure medically the same as internal cure chiropracticly. No, because the external cure medically might be something like, you know, I guess like

a saline drip if you've been dehydrated from tropical beefing for six hours. Yeah. And that is very different from the internal cure which is practically. Dropping an elbow into your lumber. Yeah. Endless specific cures call for animal, vegetable, and mineral elements from sky, sea and earth, from fish oils, animal blood serums, from earth contents, from every country of earth, assembled in countless forms and composition in chemical equations, arbitrarily changing from year to year. No man or set of men can know any reaction of any drug upon any person. It is...

I don't think that's true. Yeah, I think like a few people. Yeah. Yeah, like tons, actually kind of at this point. Yeah, know what happens if you swallow like two kilograms of cesium. Yeah, 137. No man can know. It is cut and fit, guess and try, hoping something will do the correct thing.

A specific in medicine, it has been sought for centuries. It has not arrived. It's so good, right? Because apart from the archaic language, like you could just cut and paste so much of this for like, you know, anti-Vax bullshit, for whatever, for whatever, um, a scientific thing that you're trying to, try to push in, um, um, um, um, um, um, um, thi, thi, thi, thi, th., th. In, th. In, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, to to to to to to to to to to to thi, to to to to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to to to to to to to to to to to th... to to th.. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th, th. thin, thin, thin, thin, the, the, to the, the, the, the, the, to the to the to to to to to to to to to to to to to the, to that you're trying to try to push in in being like both super-specific but never really putting across any anything provable or deniable. No, and just sort of thinking that the fact that to you it's extremely obvious that your one idea trumps having a nuanced understanding of it that yeah because it's obvious to you it must be obvious to everyone one idea trumps having a nuanced understanding of it. That because it's obvious to you it must be obvious to everyone and because it's not complicated

that must mean it's true? Yes. Yeah, that's right. Instead of the fact that everything is complicated. Yes. It's a big old world out there. And a lot of it's not bones. But in 1895, D.D. Palmer laid down the principle that the cause of all disease was a vertebral subluxation. It's still so funny to say. It's just insane. It's genuinely insane. This is what chiropractors actually believe. You have HPV. Oh, vertebally subluxated I guess. Including a lumen through which nerves passed, producing a pressure upon nerves, causing interference to the transmission of a normal quantity of abstract force

generated in the brain and expressed at the end of the nerve in physiological function. What if you checked that and it wasn't that? Yeah. What if it was the railway spike? Yeah. Well it can't be because that's external and it's not in the specific. In 1895 a correct fundamental principle was advocated for 38 years the chiropractic movement has sought a specific for the vertebral cause of all disease. Bring it home now. No chiropractor from 1895 to date has added anything to that chiropractic principle to strengthen it. Nobody has subtracted anything from that principle to improve its value. Dad was right. That's a direct quote? No. Oh. And I will hit him with my car.

For 38 years, the chiropractic profession has woven back and forth through the warp and wolf. That's that uh warp and wolf. It's that dragon force. Yeah. Adjustments, moves, systems, etc. What moves do you think they're, like, we talk at... Karate moves? Yeah. Hmm. Walls of Jericho.

Yeah. To attempt to bring the efficiency of the practice art up to the efficiency of the principle. We have laboriously and specifically sought to specifically locate, sorry, we have laboriously and scientifically sought to specifically locate that specific subluxation which specifically occluded a lumen, which specifically produced pressures upon nerves at a specific place in a specific way which specifically interfered with transmission of a mental impulse supply, which caused all disease

in the human body which could be adjusted under certain specific rules under certain specific methods and repeat itself specifically should occasion and conditions necessitate so the real real into specific stuff just as long as it's telling you which bone to move. Yeah. Outside of that it's all bullshit. Do you think you learned the word specific like the day before he started writing us? Yeah. D. D. Pum began working upon a specific theory. He lived hoping that someday he could and would arrive at a definite and positive workable and demonstrable knowledge of that specific art. Gradually, the group mind that followed his teachings included and added

until they were working upon 26 movable vertebrae. The single specific was lost sight of, although generally speaking, many still stayed within the province of the backbone. So it's so cool. It's like, oh no, dad was perfect and right. It's just all the people, all the chiropractice that were like following his work, have just been getting like stupider and stupider. Yeah. But now I'm Bahia. I'm the son of God.

Yeah. You met the big guy. Now it's me. Say hi to the fountainhead too. Yeah. Soon 26 vertebrae were adjusted to open all into vertebral loom and later we began crawling back to the single specific idea again with a Merrick system which systematized the backbone and limited adjustments in number and locations.

This developed into quote majors and minors accentuating some, making others less important. Today we can find our study and adjustment to the whole and then in brackets whole in one adjustment of the Atlas axis region. He thinks he's slick. Did he? B.J. think he's doing a joke? He's doing a joke there. Or like a, I bet you didn't think our, um, our system applied to the whole body. but whole can have two meanings. Today, through continued use of the exclusive process of deductive reasoning for facts, we realize the specific has been found in that area between the articulation of Ossiput, I donput, I don't know about that one, sorry, Atlas and Axis, wherein is the cause of all disease, the objective long sort

has been found. So I'll leave it there because obviously now you know the cure of all disease. Yeah. So if you're sick of doctors telling you to stop drinking raw milk, because it gives you 100% diarrhea, like one-to-one kind of correlation there. Check out the cue at everything. Yeah. Moving some bones around. That was refreshing. Yeah. Thank you. Because I really thought that maybe like, you know, sometimes you get sick or you get these mystery aches and pains, you're like, fuck, and then you go to the doctor, and they take your blood and they measure all sorts of their their their their their their their their to their their to their to their, their, their, to their, their, th. thi. thi. their, thi and then you go to the doctor and they take your blood and they measure all sorts of other things. Yeah. Whereas instead I can just go straight to a chiropractor and just go go up to river, shake his hand warmly, put my mouth right next to his ear and go, heal me. Yeah, he's gonna ask you to take the gym bar there, hang off it while you're setting that up, he's taking a run-up. Yeah. He's gone to the other end of the room.

He's doing, you know when those like floor routine gymnasts do like 10 cartwheels in a row really tightly, then do a flip? Yeah, because he's got to fill the space from there to the other corner of the chiropractic dojo. Yeah, and then at the moment he finishes completing his double rotation flip, the back of his right foot connects with your lower back, fixing you instantly. Yeah, curing your endometriosis. Now I'm going to take us on a bit of a journey here. Thank you so much for that, by the way. Oh, it's my pleasure.

Now I want you, uh, both of you and you, um, you, Theo and you, andthat by the way. Oh, it's my pleasure. Now I want you, both of you, both you and you, the listener, and also your wife who might be in the car, to cast your mind back to around 10,000 BC-ish, give or take, you know, 500 years. Yeah, I think I remember. Specifically, I want you to concentrate on the Middle Euphrates, Middle Euphrates Valley and the High Tigris Valley, the Upper Tigris, which are now in modern-day Syria and Turkey, respectively. I don't need you to tell me that. Do you know all about Mesopotamia? I do from the lyrics of me without you. Big Mesopotamia guy, Aaron from me without you. He was never canceled for anything was he?

Fuck I don't think so. He's a wild dude. Very strange. I feel like something happened there. Anyway check out me without you unless they're problematic and then don't. Yeah. So around in this region we had in two different settlements, we find the earliest archaeological evidence of domestication of the Orox. The Orox of course being an extinct species of wild ox. Best estimates based on some DNA studies that we've done suggest that a group of roughly 80 female Orox were there the first bovine animals domesticated in the world, right? And that that group of 80

female orox, basically like the majority of European cattle that exists today, like modern Taurine cattle are descended from that group of 80 female orrocks in those two different settlements, which is pretty cool. That is, that is both cool and somehow a nightmare for me as well that group of 80 female orox in those two different settlements, which is pretty cool. That is both cool and somehow a nightmare. For me as well, that you'd like, we've got all of this genetic material in the world, right? Like so much variety, so much, um, like I think, I think we're, we're okay with the idea that genetic variety is a good thing as far as, you know, disease and survivability goes and that sort of thing, and we go, hey, these 80 girls, they're our girls.

They're our girls. That's it. Breedable? Not unless you want to thee, 80. Well, I think they were chosen because they were submissive and breedable, which is a. We're going to skip forward ahead to roughly the 5th century. Again, this is a bit of an estimate, but around that time, a book called Apechius was first, maybe not published, but one of the first versions of it was put out. So this is a Roman cookbook that compiled a wide range of different household recipes from one or several

authors which we don't actually know. Oh hell yes. We don't know the name of any of these people. One of the dishes including there is called Ececia omentata. Now this recipe describes having shredded beef mixed with pine kernels, black and green peppercorns and white wine. You form that into a patty and then you bake it. Oh. Incidentally, and this is not related to anything else I'm going to talk about, but the Apichius also has a recipe in it for brazed flamingo, which is... What a combination of words. That's stunning. Let's skip forward again.

We're going to skip forward to the early 19th century. Restaurants in New York City serving European immigrants who more often than not had embarked for America from the port of Hamburg. These restaurants begin offering Hamburg-style American fillet and beef steak a la hambourgeois, which is mince beef formed into a patty and cooked like a steak, much like the recipe in the apetious. Now later in that same century in 1888 the first recipe for Salisbury steak is published. The recipe reads as thus, eat the muscle pulp of lean beef made into cakes and broiled. This pulp should be as free as possible from connective or glue tissue, fat and cartilage.

Previous to chopping the fat, bones, tendons and fasciae, you know, it should all be cut away and the lean muscle cut up into pieces an inch or two square. The pulp should not be pressed too firmly together before broiling or it will taste livery. Simply press it sufficiently to hold it together. Make the cakes from half an inch to an inch thick, boil slowly and moderately well over a fire, free from blaze and smoke. When cooked, put it on a hot plate and season to taste with butter, pepper, salt. Also use either Worcestershire sauce or Halford sauce mustard horseradish or lemon juice on

the meat if desired, celery may be moderately used as a relish. Now, the author of this recipe didn't actually give Salisbury steak a name. It became known as Salisbury steak though because the author who wrote this recipe didn't actually give Salisbury steak a name. Yeah. It became known as Salisbury Steak, though, because the author who wrote this recipe was James Henry Salisbury, also known as J.H. Salisbury. The name became quite popular at the start of the 20th century in the early 1900s, because the Americans and a lot of other English-speaking countries were moving away from German-sounding names for things because of World War I. So instead of calling...

Was that a problem back then? The Germans? They're actually a problem twice in that century. So instead of calling hamburgers, hamburgers, or the hamburger patties, they called them Salisbury Steaks. They were also calling hamburgers liberty sandwiches at some point. Oh, that's so funny.

Everything old is new again. Yeah, real freedom fries. Real freedom fries. Bullshit. R. R. R. took.

Yeah. So James Salisbury, James Henry Salisbury, he was born in New York in 1823. He worked as a chemist for the New York Geological Survey before studying to become a medical doctor. Salisbury served as a physician during the American Civil War and while treating soldiers for digestive illnesses, he... The Union, the not slavers, yeah. He developed the the theories that would underpin the book he wrote in which the Salisbury steak was first described. So this book was not a cookbook in which the Salisbury steak was first described. It was actually a medical text and the book was called

the relation of alimentation and disease. Alimentation referring to the... Oh, this is very uh tying together then. It's as if we planned it this way. And we didn't because we never do, because we like to surprise each other. We do like to surprise each other. Little gifts, treats, new techniques. Yeah, which is why if you post suggestions for Theophthe in the chats where we can both see them, it defeats the purpose entirely. Yeah. Yeah, and then I only tell people so many times.

The alimentation here refers to the giving or receiving of nourishment from food. So, you know, sort of he's using it in the sense of thinking of food as medicine. Or the thinking of food in the way the nutritionist does. Here is an excerpt from the introduction of that book, published in 1888, I forgot to say. Physical wants and animal passions are the yearnings of health or the cravings of disease. In perfect health, those foods only are desired that are best adapted to maintaining the healthy, maintaining the system in a healthy condition. Perfect health develops none but healthy physiological longings.

Derange the human machine... Not the way on to it. Well, he has some explanations for why that might not be the case for some people. Derange the human machine, either by physical, mental or moral disturbances. Yeah. And pathological appetites desires cravings and hallucinations are the result. One step in the wrong direction opens the way for the second and third and so on, till the human organism soon falls a victim to the disturbances of a multitude of

deranging influences that result, if long continued, in fixed pathological habits of organs and tissue. so, and – – so, and – – so, and th. So, and th. So, and th. So, and th. So, and the th. So, and th. So, and th. So, and th. So, and thi. So, and thi. So, and thi. And, and thi. And, and thi. And, and they. And, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and thi. And, and thi. And, and thi. And, and thi. And, and thi. And, and the the the the the the the the the the they. And, and they. And, and they. And, and they. And, and they. And, and they. And, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, thi. And, the, thea. And, thea. And, thea. And, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and, and thea. And, and they, and that result, if long continued, in fixed pathological habits of organs and tissue. So he's sort of saying that if you are healthy, you will only want healthy things that make you healthy. Right. But if you are unhealthy, you'll start craving foods that are bad for you and then that will make you more unhealthy and then those cravings will get worse, you know, so you sort of unhealthy breeds unhealthy eating breeds unhealthy eating is what he's saying. Yeah. Although he does say that there are other influences influences on this. Surrounding relations, associations, circumstances, necessities, customs and fashions gradually develop morbid tastes within the healthy organism. These tastes regularly

indulged in, become by degrees confirmed but cultivated abnormal habits. At the same time, they derange organs and tissues little by little until they result in pathological tastes. Yeah, like going to go into the Asian section. Yep, and I'll leave that to listen and have a thing about that one. I don't know if that's racist or not. I'm gonna find. th. th. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin. thin, thin, thin, thin, thin, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi-i-i-in, thiolioliole, their, that to the listener to have a thing about that one. I don't know if that's racist or not. Ah, we'll find out. Right in, let us know. When these physical derangements become firmly fixed, chronic disease of some kind is the

result. It's nature being determined by the character of, and long continuance in the gratification of specific unhealthy desires and appetites. Yeah, like us. So it's kind of straightforward what he's saying at this stage is just that eating poorly cause a disease so we should try and eat healthily. And also if you eat healthily you're going to want to keep doing that and if you eat unhealthily it will develop a taste for that which is unhealthy. That's right. That's not so bad. No, so he has some pretty specific recommendations for what constitutes healthy and unhealthy food. Healthy alimentation is the feeding upon that or those kinds of foods which

any given animal organism is designed to live upon as indicated by the structure and functions of its digestive apparatus. Unhealthy alimentation is the feeding upon food which the digestive organs cannot readily and perfectly digest. Yeah, so cows are supposed to eat grass and magnets as far as I understand from farming. Yes, that's right. For instance, we should not for a moment think of feeding our cattle, horses and sheep

upon lean and fat meats. Neither do we expect to feed cats and dogs upon hay, corn and oats. Which you know this fair point we've got Louis on that grain-free dog food because otherwise he gets the toots real bad. You don't want that. So he's sort of suggesting a scientific approach to diet where we look at what the organs are designed to do and then eat in a way that matches that. So what does that look like for humans? Well we're kind of, I mean we've the th, let, let's th, let's th, let's the th, let's th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. thi, that, that, the. the. the, the, the, the, the, the, the the the the the the the the the the the the the the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. th. the. to, to about this, right? So we've got our teeth are various shaped because we have a diet that I think is evolutionarily both carnivorous and herbivorous.

Yeah. We've got an assortment, you know, we've got our canines up the front for ripping and tearing meat and same thing with the front teeth and you got the mashers up the back for fiber etc. I mean and our stomach is sort of, well our digestive tract we've got, you got your stomach, classic bag of acid. And then you got everything else, which is for the hard stuff. Now you are thinking exactly along the same lines as Dr. Jim was.

By structure, man is about two-thirds carnivorous and one-third herbivorous. Sure. In this native wild state he feeds mainly upon gamemon fish with much less than one-third of vegetable products. Now, yeah, okay. So this is where we start getting into his beliefs about the specific, you might say. Oh, okay. Hmm. In this state, he is free from most of our fatal diseases. So he's saying that when living off the land, you know, pre-civilization or pre-you know, sort of modern civilization the way we think about that we, we were free of most fatal diseases such as consumption, brights disease, diabetes, locomotives, locomotor or taxi, paralysis, fatty diseases of vital organs,

tumors and various forms of cancer. He is also exempt from most infectious complaints such as smallpox, measles, scarlet fever, diphtheria and so on. These only reach him when he comes in contact with our much lauded civilization. Okay. A civilization full of quote, shirking responsibility of sin and of the causes of disease Here we go all right, which is quite interesting because he's being he's sort of anti modern civilization there, which is odd I think a lot of people back then would have taken a very different approach to that. As a general rule, we have 20 meat teeth and only 12 vegetable teeth, while four of

these latter, the wisdom teeth, are poor apologies as grinders. The stomach and man is a purely carnivorous organ and is designed both in structure and function for the digestion of lean meats. Sure. Healthy alimentation would consist in a diet of about one part of vegetables, fats and fruits to about two parts of lean meat. Sweets and fruits should be used in moderate the the the the the the the the w the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the w the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom of of the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom of teeth of of of of of of the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the wisdom the w the w the w the w of of the w of of of of the w of the w the w the w the w w wi the wi the wi the wi the wi the wi teeatheatheatheathe tea tea tea tea tea tea tea teeatheatheatheathe teeathe tea teeathe of tee tee of vegetables, fats and fruits, to about two parts of lean meat. Sweets and fruits should be used in moderate quantity and as relishes only. Fruits should only be taken after breakfast and dinner on a full stomach and then only in moderate quantity, never at or after supper. The supper should be more of a lean meat meal than either of the others, and the

best meat for supper is broiled lean beef. This digests easily and quickly and is less liable to produce flatulence than any other food. I mean, if that's your goal. Yeah. He might be right. I don't know. I'm not a nutritionist or a dietician or a doctor. But, you know, what happens if you don't adhere to a mostly lean beef diet? It's not good.

Yeah. Some of the diseases arising from unhealthy alimentation are as follows. Consumption in all its phases, including quote, chronic diarrhea and summer complaints in children. Which... Ah, fuck it's summer again. Ah, the kids have all got some complaints. Dispepsia in all its forms? That's where you don't have Pepsi, I think.

Yeah. Rheumatism in all its varieties. Gout, Brite's disease, Diabetes, Melitis, Locomot, Locomot, O-Molitas, Ovarian tumors, goiter and cretinism. He continues, softening of the brain and most cases of insanity which have not been produced by injuries, inflammation and effusions, all forms of deafness and diseases of the eye and ear that have not resulted from injuries, hypochondria. Most cases of loss of voice, eczema, scald head, etc., etc. I didn't... So that's scald as in like SCALD like to be scalded by a hot

substance of some guy. Or a hot lady. The... Marian Webster defines scald head as any of several diseases of the scalp characterized by falling out of the hair and by pustules the dry discharge of which forms scales. Now you might think, okay, all I have to do is eat more lean beef than I do anything else, but that's not the only part of the Salisbury diet? Yeah, otherwise, but if I do do this, I'm not going to get ovarian cysts. Yes, well at least you have that, but he does ask you to do another thing. You're going to need to drink a lot of hot water. How hot we're talking. Oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, th, thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, tho, thi, thi, thi, tho, tho, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, that, thi, that, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. thi, thi. thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi, thi. thi. thi. that's thi. that's thoooooooooooooooo. So, thi. thi. thi. th a lot of hot water. How hot we talking? Oh, I'll tell you. The digestive organs in consumption may be aptly compared to an old vinegar barrel. And like it, they require frequent and thorough washing out before any fermentable food can be taken in without fermenting.

All right, this guy knows a thing or two about the thinneurbane. The washing should be done by drinking hot water at about 110 degrees Fahrenheit. It's about 43 degrees Celsius. Yeah. And should take place long enough before each meal to allow the water and washings to get out of the stomach before the food is eaten and to keep ahead of the food as it passes down the stomach and bowels. You don't want the food to overtake your hot water. No. The object of the hot water is to wash out a dirty, yeasty, slimy, sour stomach before eating and sleeping. It should be taken on retiring in order that the stomach may be as clean as possible to

sleep upon and may not excite troubled sleep, dreams or wakefulness. The common and excessive use of cold water, both in drinking and bathing, is a very great mistake. It depresses the system and waste the animal heat in the effort to restore the temperature of the economy which is sensibly lowered by it. And the nerve force needed by the various organs of which we have none too much at any time. Can you, yeah, sorry.

Is drafted off to repair our mistake. Now I want you to remember the phrase nerve force for me. That's um now I've heard this once here and once from Evangelion. That drinking water uses your life. Oh no sorry, nerve. Nerve. Yeah. Um, anime joke. Remind me what, um, what year is this from? This is 1888. 1888, man. People sure didn't know how to think back then, did they? Like, they didn't know how to make good thinking. I do like that he's like.

And then be like, well, that's it. Yeah, you know what? I'm tired because after I drank a glass of cold water, we intensify this error a hundredfold, and sacrifice the well-being of our all internal organs. For the temporary cooling of mouth and throat, if those surfaces were in perfectly normal condition, we should not crave this cooling. This taste, like the appetite for liquors, wines and drinks of all description, is a cultivated and abnormal one. Such have no place like the appetite for liquors, wines and drinks of all description, is a cultivated

and abnormal one. Such have no place in the healthy system. They are symptoms of disease and warness of a sub-basic cause which must be removed. I have known confirmed drunkards, after they have been kept from all spiritous liquors and cured of diseased appetites by the restoration of tone to digestive apparatus, to admit that they preferred hot water to liquor in any the the liquor in the the the the tone to digestive apparatus to admit that they preferred hot water to liquor in any form and to keep it up throughout life as a stimulant digestion. That's just not true. Yeah. You've never found an alcoholic who's like, yeah you know what I actually, I don't miss drinking beer at all.

I just like hot water now. Hot water now. Now remember what I said to you earlier about nerve force. Oh boy, do I? Let me allow Dr. Jim to explain nerve force to you. The two great factors of healthy organic life may be said to be first, alimentation, and second, nerve force or vital energy. Ah, yes. Get some big Jim Penman energy here. Mm energy here. Few persons are aware of the great amount of life force that is absolutely thrown away, which force is required to keep

up the healthy actions of the organs of human life, those organs through and by which we live, breathe and continue our existence in the body. This nerve force is unnecessarily expanded in an almost constant and ineffectual working day and night of the faculties of the body. This nerve force is unnecessarily expended in an almost constant and ineffectual working, day and night of the faculties of the cerebrum. I mean I do kind of identify with that. Yeah, I actually think the rest of this paragraph might sound quite relatable to you. A working without definite object or result, which the individual apparently has neither power nor knowledge to control. This thinking, feeling, and worrying is under the influence and guidance of the emotional

or sympathetic nerves, which are then really insane or working wildly. Willpower or voluntary mental effort affords neither a balance wheel nor a safety valve to check this waste. The more the willpower, pure and simple, is brought to bear as a controlling and checking means, the greater the expenditure of nerve force. So you're tiring yourself out by trying to make yourself be calm and restful, I think is what he's saying. Yeah, I mean there's something to that. But he luckily has actually found the cure for that as well. A variety of simple means may be resorted to in order to bring to bring to bring to bring to bring to bring the to bring the to bring, the to bring, the to the to the to the to the to the the the to to the the to the to, to, to, to, to, to, to, to, toe, toe, to, to, to, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is, is a the the the the the the the tome.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.a.a.a. try.a.a.a.a. try.a. try. try. try. try. try. try order to bring about this desirable change in the direction of expenditure of nerve force. All such means tend to calm the distracted, wildly acting faculties and to set in motion healthy operations. One easy and effectual plan

is to get off alone in a quiet room when there is no noise nor other disturbing influence. Yeah. Now I think that meant something different back then? Oh, okay. Yes. But the disturbing influence. Now I think that meant something different back then? Oh, okay. Yes. But, the patient should be seated in an easy chair or lie upon a bed or lounge. Sure. The right hand should be placed with the palm on the forehead and the palm of the left hand over the cerebellum.

That's not how I do it. Left hand over the cerebellum and back of the neck. The eyes should be fixed upon some small object and persistently kept there. The breathing... I do put my left hand on the cerebellum so I can use the right hand for the mouse. Yep. The eyes should be fixed upon some small object and persistently kept there. The breathings, which should be full, easy and slow, should be counted up to 49. The patient all the time, that's such a dumb number, never try to pick a specific number.

The patient all the time listening intently as if expecting to hear something to advantage. He is actually just kind of describing... Sort of just describing mindfulness. Mindfulness. Yeah. Yeah. So, like, he's so close to having something there but then it's like they can't they can't help themselves thinking that

they've got a grand unified theory of skull measurements. It can't just be that like taking some time to just like not stress and to just breathe. Yeah. Yeah that could be it. Yeah. When 49 inspirations have been reached, which I believe he's using inspiration here to mean inward respiration. Yeah. Remove the right hand down to the pit of the stomach and the left hand to the opposite part of the back, now go through the operations previously suggested. When the hands are on the forehead and back of the neck, when 49 inspirations are again reached, remove the right hand down over the umbilicus and the left hand to the small of the back, repeating all the operations as before.

If they have been properly and quiescently conducted, the patient will either be happily sleeping or happily awake before the last 49th inhalation has been reached. Now, this next part I actually kind of agree with, again I think he's making some good points. The cerebrum should not be permitted to work and consume vitality for more than 10 hours in the 24 on average. The other about thinking for too long, right? Yeah, he's saying you shouldn't be thinking for more than about 10 hours a day. Okay. Sure. The other 14 hours should be spent in recreation, eating, and refreshing sleep.

If the organs and tissues are all in good order and the diet drinks and exercise what they should be, the cerebrum will become quiescent and rest wholly during sleep. The sleep will be refreshing and free from unpleasant dreams, while the nerve force will expend itself through the cerebellum and spinal ganglia in operating healthfully those organs over which we have little or no control. When the cerebrum works abnormally, extravagantly scattering nerve force in every direction, the stomach and bowels halt. Digestion and assimilation is seriously impaired, the food begins to ferment and decay, and peristaltic

action is reversed, working the bile up into the food begins to ferment and decay, and peristaltic action is reversed, working the bile up into the stomach and back into the gallbladder, thus producing biliousness, which results in high-coloured scanty urine, dullness, lassitude, and often headache. So do you think, so you tested this or you just thought that this was probably what went on? Well, he sort of tested this. So he arrived at this theory of nerve force because you know he had figured out the food, the meat and the hot water thing, but found that it was somewhat wanting when he was still treating people with it. After having quite successfully traced nearly every disease to its cause,

and finding myself able to build up the body and get it apparently in a good physical condition, there was one very important element wanting to affect a perfect cure. This was my inability to get vitality into the system as fast as it was put into physiological repair. Huh. He should get in touch with the bone guys. Well, they are both looking for the same thing, apparently. Yeah, but in different places, you know? Yeah, well, bones and the stomach. Yeah.

Yeah. Yeah, classically, two very, very different domains. Like the, the capulets and the other guys. That's right. The Montague? Yeah. Montague's and the capulets, the bones and the stomachs. Many times my patients would reach an apparently healthy condition, but would have little

power to exert themselves. Often they would feel quite well and yet have little or no muscular endurance. For a long time my mind dwelt upon this point with a persistent determination to fathom the mystery. I went to my library one evening after dinner, first giving orders that I should not be disturbed on any account whatsoever, locked the door, partially lowered the light

and seated myself in an easy chair, with my eyes fixed vacantly, upon the gray attentively the sensations and workings in every part of the body. Again, you talked about mindfulness. He's invented meditation and mindfulness, is what you say. Yeah, that rules. Just stick with that.

Yeah, just do that thing. I had not been in this contemplative mood for more than 15 minutes before I found myself thrilled through and through with a glow of healthy, happy action in every part that was in purest sense most delightful. I remained in this state for about two hours, which were the happiest my life had ever known up into that time. This man sat down and spaced out for two hours. It was like, holy fuck. Holy shit, yeah, nothing will ever compare. This guy should, uh, he's dead now, right? Yeah. Being 18 and 88.

Yeah, he's probably dead. Fuck, he would have loved like 2CI. This man would have loved a small dose of codeine. This man would have loved a small dose of codeine. Nearly every evening for several months I kept up this study upon myself for two or three hours at a time. Honey, it's my sitting into a chair and zoning the fuck out time. I mean, do not disturb me.

He is using a good experimental methodology here that he's repeating the experiment. The fact that he is the subject and it's just sitting down for three hours. Yeah, actually when I was depressed, I kind of came to the same sort of method as well. In order to work out the problem with sufficient accuracy so that I might impart to my sick patients the ways and means of accumulating life force, I found that all mechanical efforts, whether mental or physical, exhaust and deplet us of energy fast than we can take it in, while all enjoyable and inspirational pursuits invigorate. That is, in these last, energy or life force is taken in faster than it is expended. Thus, we should as far as possible avoid all mechanical efforts and engage only in congenial and interesting pursuits. Man, this guy would love video games. Check out Modern Warfare Black Ops 3.

I love this man's attitude about most things. Yeah. The idle ramblings of an exaggerated fancy, or the senseless worries of morbid anxieties weak in the mind. Yeah. The automatic efforts of a listless body, drain it of life force. So the thrust of everything you're saying so far vis-a-vis life force is try not to worry too much, don't work too hard, take some time to do some mindful breathing, take some time to just sit and collect your thoughts, which so far so good.

Now, T-Bird, we've actually arrived at the thing that I want to talk about. All of that was just an intro. That was a preamble. What I wanted to talk to you about 30 minutes after I started talking was chapter 49 of his book, The Relation of the theamentation and Disease by J. H. Salisbury. Now this chapter of course is titled Experiments with quote, baked beans as an exclusive diet upon strong healthy men. Oh man, he's doing the soilent diet before. Now, so to set out to prove that, so he thought that we were never really meant to digest vegetables, and this was a contempt that he held the most strongly about legumes, the man hated beans. I mean, there's probably something to it, right?that he held the most strongly about legumes. The man hated beans. I mean, there's probably something to it, right?

Like, because the legume you never fully digest, sort of, you know, it's going to give you gas, etc. You know, probably a good starting point there for your experimentation. Well, see, that's, that's, he, and he agrees with you, 100% on that. That's where he's at. So, I'll let him describe the experiment in his own words. In September of 1856, I engaged six strong healthy men in the vigor of life, ranging in age from 25 to 40 years, to feed upon a special diet solely with the understanding that I would pay them $30 per month each if they submitted faithfully to the rigid discipline laid down. That's a fuck load of money.

Oh, hey, give you 30 bucks. I mean, what's, I don't even know how to calculate that, but like 30 bucks in the mid-1800s is an extraordinary amount of money. And he's saying that...

In a sharehouse for a month. Welcome to Bede house.

This guy's like before his thought, we needed his brain in reality TV. Oh, if someone was filming this. At the same time, I explained to them the kind of food upon which I should require them to live. The exercise and other regulations marked out. Yeah, you did. All thought the diet and drinks could be easily endured, in fact, enjoyed. Especially as they would have no manual labor to perform.

They all entered upon the undertaking with the feeling they would have a fine time at my expense. The diet consisted first of baked beans and coffee. This to continue for one month or until otherwise ordered by me. Exercise to be a two mile walk morning and evening to retire at 9 p.m. and rise at 6 a.m., drinks between meals, cold water. On the 13th of September, the experiments began. Breakfast at 7 a thi thi thi to thi the th, d. the th, d. th, dinner, dinner, dinner, the the th. the thi. thi. their their thi. thi. their their thi. their their. On the 13th of September, the experiments began. Breakfast at 7 a.m., dinner at 12 noon and supper at 6 p.m. All six borders were strong, robust, free from disease, and having one regular movement of the bowels every day.

Yeah, that's gonna change. The first day all went well. Sorry, the first day all felt well and enjoyed themselves greatly. Towards evening began to bloat, but had no special special to to to to to to to to the the the their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their toea. their to be their.mastea.mastea.minea. toea. their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their their., their., their.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.e.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea.ea. all felt well and enjoyed themselves greatly. Towards evening began to bloat, but had no special feeling of discomfort. Slept well. Entered upon the second day feeling about as well as on the first, except that all were flatlet and constipated. Yet all had a scanty, hard movement of the bowels before evening.

In the after part of the day, they were very uncomfortable from the bloating, took them on a brisk walk of two miles, which was something of a relief. Now from this point onwards, from the third day of the experiment until the 18th, he catalogs the symptoms of each border individually by assigning them a letter A through F. Now they all experienced basically the same symptoms with a few minor variations, but I am going to give you the account of subject F. And this is a representative of basically what everyone went through. But this is subject F. Day 3. Day 3. Bloaded badly. Slight movement. Collic pains, head swims.

Day 4. Bloded badly. Constipated. Collic. Earsring. Bewildered. Day five, bloated badly, constipated, colic, ears ring, confused. Oh my God, they're supersizing me themselves. Yeah, they're super beating themselves. Day six, bloated badly, constipated, dizzy, colic, confused, uneasy and restless. Day seven, bloated badly, constipated, ears ringic, confused, uneasy and restless. Day 7. Bloded badly, constipated, ears rigged, dizzy, uneasy and bewildered. Day 8.

Bloded badly, constipated, ears rig, dizzy, hands and feet prickle, bewildered. Oh, these poor guys. Day 9. Bloded badly, constipated, dizzy, hands and feet prickle. Feels strangely and confused. Day 10. Bloaded badly, ears a ring, constipated, hands and feet nub, feels strangely. Day 11. One large, thin movement.

Collic, dizzy, feet prickle, strange. Day 12. Three large stools, head numb and vacant. Feels lost and strange, feet prickle. It's the worst Erowid trip for ever. T plus 12 days. Farting constantly, no shit's. T plus 12 days. Farting constantly, no shit's. Can't feel anything. Day 13. Six large, thin stools. Forgetful and feels strangely. Feet and hands, prickle. It could have been the one, the one long, strange stool. Experience six times and forgotten. Day 14, seven large thin stools, tears ring, feet and hands numb,

feels strange and vacant, legs and feet numb. Day 15, 10 large thin stools, reels in walking, feels tired and strange. Day 16. Ten large yeasty stools. Bewildered, weak, eyes vacant, feet prickle. Day 17. Nine thin yeasty stools. Bewilded, eyes vacant and glaring. Feet and hands prickle, feet drag in walking. Day 18. 12 thin stools, reels in walking, ears ring, feet and hands numb, nervous, heart palpitates

on exertion and breathing oppressed. Lips, legs and hips numb, feet drag and walking. Now at this point, he notes, symptoms of progressive paralysis or locomotor attacks he begin to show themselves in all six cases on 10th day. These paralytic and peculiar symptoms increased each day after the 10th. On 16th day the disease was so marked that not one of the six could walk straight without support. All wobbled and dragged their legs not being able to lift them clear of the floor. So all of these people came down with

bean-induced immobility. Yeah. This is classic bean-inus as I've ever seen it. This is chronic bean-itis. So the bean-inus being so chronic that at this point he decides to change tac. My boarders, on the 19th morning, all presented such a full-on, dilapidated appearance that I feared I should lose my reputation as a caterer and also my guests. Yeah yeah they might also die as well so probably put that in your considerations. They had all

lost heavily in weight and were much debilitated. When on the morning of the 19th day I set before them nice beef steaks by which he means that Salisbury steak he invented, freed from fat and white tissue, they were all greatly delighted and ate ravenously of them. I gave to each 10 ounces of meat with a good cup of clear coffee, beef seasoned with butter, pepper and salt, no other food or drinks. A dinner gave each 12 ounces of beef steak, prepared as for breakfast and half a pint of clear tea. The meal was hugely enjoyed. Yeah, yeah, yeah they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they they the meal the meal the meal the meal the meal the meal th. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, th. Yeah, th. Yeah, th.

The meal was hugely enjoyed. Yeah, yeah, they've been eaten beans. And they are thrilled to see nothing but a beef patty on a plate. All now began to breathe easier and to feel clearer about the head. Passages less frequent, though still large and

numerous. He's talking about shitting. During the afternoon all were in a state of enjurable relief and were ready to speak a good word for their host and his house. At supper, gave each 10 ounces of beefsteak with a clear cup of tea. The meal was greatly relished. The evening was a pleasant one, all having a sense of relief from the extreme flatulence, bewildered heads, oppressed breathing and the numbness of previous days. Then he continues, he starts charting their progress from the 19th day through the 21st after he's put them back on an all-beaf diet. But I'll give you his summary on... Yeah, yeah I bet he's got a fucking important point to make about all of this.

He sure does. Called up on 22nd morning at 6 a.m. All in good trim and loud in praise of their host and his table gave each one pound of broiled steak, half a pint of clear coffee and a slice of bread and butter. The meal was much enjoyed. All felt unusually well, clear-headed and happy. Half an hour after breakfast gave them a long walk. At 12, each had one pound of broiled steak, a slice of bread and a cup of clear coffee which they took with great relish. After finishing the meal I paid off my boarders and discharged them. With a feeling of regret and reluctance I think on both sides we separated. Still they could not realize how I

could keep up and quote make both ends meet while running a boarding house on this plan. Yeah it's fucking weird that you're paying us to eat beans and live here. Yeah. I may add that I had throughout shared their diet, discipline and experiences in all respects. They can't even get rid of this guy. He gave himself bean disease while he was doing this. He was also going through, which is just fucking wild. And that concludes the story I wanted to tell you, the story of Bean House. Absolutely wonderful. Can you imagine, seven burly boys in the prime of their life, all dying because they've made too many... ripping it up. Some ambulently. in the prime of their life all dying because they've made too many big things.

Ripping it up. Some ambulently. History is so beautiful. Yeah. So I started looking into this because it was, it came up on, oh yeah, dude, just they mentioned in passing that like, the guy who invented Salisbury Sake came up with one of the first fad diets which was just drinking, eating mostly meat and drinking just coffee. And I was like oh that's that's pretty cool and I started reading this book and then got to the part about

Bean House and lost my GD mind. Uh-huh. Yeah, um, kind of sort of um proving the, proving the all-bif diet by contradiction? Yes, well, let's see, he's trying to, you know, falsify his results. But, you know what I mean? Like, he's trying to, yeah, which, I, this man, I think he's probably more sound than, um, B.J. Palmer, I would say. If we had to pick which of these two quacks, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, the, the, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, the, the, the, the, the, uh, uh, the, uh, uh, the, the, uh, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, the, sound than BJ Palmer, I would say. If we had to pick which of these two quacks, we prefer I would pick J.H. Salisbury. Yeah, I'm giving the one that's serving me a nice Salisbury steak. Yeah, nothing else. Or maybe a bit of buttered bread even. Now we're talking.
