Leftist Globalists are the Enemy of your Tribe podcast on PaleoJays Smoothie Cafe




Waste no more time arguing what a good man should be. Be one.” – Marcus Aurelius

In the Western tradition of civilization, the chief hallmark is that of individual autonomy, meaning each free individual within that most successful of all tribes can speak their mind freely, and live as they see fit for themselves and their families!  

Throughout the vast majority of history, from culture after culture, tribe after tribe- the norm has been a KING.  An elite person, surrounded by other elites he has chosen, that rule over everyone else.  Endless gradations of slaves, that do as they are told.  Privileged slaves, who have trappings of wealth, above another level of slaves, and so on, down the line…

But ultimately, in this ancestral world order of humankind, the vast majority have been simply slaves that did as they were told- or else!

Western civilization, in counterpoint, has been quite different from this.  Since ancient Greece, to Rome, and then through the middle ages up to the American revolution, the thrust has been that each tribe, and each man, and then woman and families within that civilization were free to determine their own fates.  As long as they obeyed the overall, agreed upon notions of law and order, and civility, each tribe within that Western Nation was free to live and raise their families as they saw fit.  They were free to do what was best for themselves, under their God(s) and notions of fair play and what was best.

This worked very well indeed, for thousands of years- Western civilization, and the way of life it offered, with religious freedom, freedom of scientific inquiry, and individual autonomy thrived against the ancient, pervasive doctrine of top-down, rule of the ELITE.  It was a rule of equals, from the bottom up, where those who were promoted to a higher level were put there by the people themselves, to represent their wishes.   A REPUBLIC!

As always happens, as in Rome, the Republic was put aside, and an emperor, or king thrust his way to power!   The Power of the King, and his elite became paramount, and the people suffered.  Once again, they were reduced to what was effectively slaves, being fed bread and circuses, welfare and entertainments, to distract them from the actual land and rights that they had been deprived of via taxation and fiat ruling.  Top down government once again reared its ugly head.

Until the ruling elites fell through their own depravity.  This was the Swamp of long ago!

Now, in the US and in the EU, we are again being attacked by a modern Swamp- a Globalist agenda, one that threatens each and every nation state, tribe, family and individual within the Western civilization that our ancestors have built for us!

We now are being told that we must take in immigrants from outside of our own painstakingly constructed culture- not only ‘take in’, but support and replace ourselves with.  Invaders, in essence.  

The European Union is transporting thousands and thousands of low IQ, incompatible people from the 3rd world into our countries, skyrocketing crime and violence.  Dumbing down our schools, and endlessly trying to destroy the very civilization that they have escaped to from their own horrendous pre-civilized cultures.  And NO ONE HERE vote for ANY of this!  

In the US, the same thing has been happening.  People from alien, hostile tribes, with evil gods and evil cultures are being put amongst us, supported by our own elites, for their own ends of low labor rates, and the votes they know they will gain from these people who vote only for government welfare and circuses- along with everything else that our ancestors have built for us, their descendents like modern technology, health care, reliable food systems, heating, and cooling, and the thousand and one other things we have come to take for granted.

Our founding fathers in the US, our grandparents, Charles Dickens and actually, pretty much anyone admirable in our history would be horrified to see what Western Civilization is becoming under Global Elitism!  

And the CUDGEL that the Liberal Elite is beating us with is that of
Our Own Success!

It’s just not fair!  Why should we have so much?  Well, because our ancestors bequeathed it to us.  They worked for it, they planned and built and worked endlessly for posterity!!  That is part and parcel of Western Civilization!  

We learned to plan for Winter, in a nutshell.  Other, elitist, grasshopper cultures did not.  They are welcome to copy our success, in fact we have tried for generations through missionaries, and Peace Corps types of groups to help them, all the 3rd world, for generations.  In fact, our help is the only way that their numbers have so increased dramatically.  

But, it’s not enough- they demand our very homelands.  And the UN, and all the elitists that enlist them into their evil cause, champion their right to everything that they are the antithesis of.

Huge Section 8 (in the US) housing projects are being planned and built to build enemy, welfare-supported encampments of crime and evil within your neighborhoods.  The suburbs have been declared racist- that all-inclusive description that damns anyone it is applied to, even though it is nonsense.  So, they need to be invaded, to have their ancient enemies and the criminal element foisted upon them and their children.  Western civilized life is impossible with such an element supported, and placed right within their very tribal homelands!

The same is happening in England,Canada, Germany, Ireland, Sweden, and all the rest of Europe. We all need to be aware- the modern version of Imperial Rome is taking over, and perverting everything we have.

So, be an ancestral, paleolithic person!  Raising your own food locally, making sure your environment is clean and pure, and your schools are good, that your community is concerned with local issues for the good of your families, and that nature is being preserved and lived in harmony with:  none of this even matters, if Big Government can come in and destroy your entire way of life by flooding you with both your hereditary enemies, and what are pure and simple freeloaders.

Vote Paleo, and ancestral!  Preserve our countries, and borders.  Nation states are our tribe writ large- without strong boundaries, we can be easily swamped, and capsized.  Western Civilization is very vital and strong, and is actually the modern word for CIVILIZATION.  Western Civilization if now Civilization, no two ways about it.  

And if we fall, (we are a small percentage now of the world’s population overall, those of us in Western Civilization heartlands), that is the end of civilization overall.  
It will be a new, awful, endless Dark Ages of the Elite, and peasants.  Nothing in between.

Avoid Modern Witch Doctors- Do it Yourself podcast




I don’t really mean to be provocative, but I must state the obvious: the awe in which many hold medical doctors is ridiculous.  I see it constantly: doctors, and the medical clinics and hospitals that employ them, are so special and so necessary- Science brought to our lives!

Nonsense.  Most medical professionals know a very tiny amount about health.   What they do know about is disease, and that is what they focus on.  And what they do, when you come in to be examined, is basically run over a checklist that they tick off:

How old is the patient?  50 or greater?  Let me see:
Statins  High blood pressure medications   Probably a stent, next appointment…

And so it goes.  Just a checklist, written by the pharmaceutical companies, nothing more.  This is what medicine has come to.  Don’t cure the disease, just treat the symptoms, and sell drugs.  Really!

Doc, I have a pain in my knees when I kneel down in my garden.  What should I do?

Doctor-  “Knee replacement would be my advice!”  
 “And my hip hurts too!”  - Hip replacement is the answer says doc

And I have acid reflux, and I can’t sleep at night, and my gut bothers me something awful.  Also, I’m really depressed, and tired all the time, and I am about 50 pounds overweight…

Doctor nods, as he is writing.  “Here is my prescription list for you!”  He hands over a list of lengthy prescriptions, of anti-depressants, statins, a future appointment for joint replacement, and a long list of other drugs, all guaranteed to treat the symptoms named, but with no mention of the side effects which are far worse than any of the symptoms.

The further sad part about all of these medical professionals, is that the vast majority tend to be left leaning, globalist liberals.  Why is this??

Well, I think that a large part of it is guilt.  Just as Hollywood actors examine their own lives, and think ‘Hey- I am really kind of just a pampered idiot who gets paid a lot of money because I am good looking/trendy/lucky/ or in the right place at the right time/connected- I just want to be valued for my goodness!”  

So, they virtue signal that they are ‘down with the cause’- they feel the pain of minorities (always a winner), sexual deviants (who doesn’t love a deviant?), and billions of illegal immigrants who only want to relocate to the advanced West, where they can get welfare payments that vastly outstrip anything they can ever build in their own squalid, nightmare, corrupt countries…

So too with medical doctors and their clinics.  

“Wow!  We get so much money, both from pharmaceutical manufacturers whose drugs we push, and the insurance companies that reimburse our patients’ bills so much that they are eager to undergo expensive surgeries and drug treatments- because they perceive it as FREE!”
“And, truth be told, we have incredibly easy jobs, where we just follow charts, telling us which surgery/drugs go with each condition, and each age.  Just a checklist, really.  I feel guilty, kind of, since I make so much money just prescribing from a checklist, and not really curing anything at all!  
I think I’ll support the downtrodden! Then, I will be a virtuous person, and be justified in taking easy money for very little work, and really no healing whatsoever…  I will drug, and then no one will feel any pain, and my job will be done!”

Perhaps a bit oversimplified, but still I believe basically spot on.  And so, I make the common sense recommendation to avoid your doctor as much as possible.  Dentist too.  
Take care of yourself- really work at it!  Exercise daily, with strength training using your own body weight and isometrics.  Eat an ancestral diet, as close to what our ancestors ate long ago as possible.  Avoid fast food and processed foods completely.  
Walk daily, in nature, wearing minimal footwear, without cushioned insoles and raised heels.  Stretch methodically every day.  Don’t floss (it pushes the bacteria deep into your gums- bad dentist advice!), but swish coconut oil around in your mouth each day as you shower.  (Kills bacteria)
Experience the weather!  In cold weather, go out hiking.  Hot weather- sprint barefoot on the grass!  Weather extremes are like strength training for your whole body.  Get a red light to simulate a sauna, and sit under it, especially when the sun is not always available in winter.  Join a church, preferably a small one that aligns with your beliefs, and become involved- your church is your tribe, along with your neighbors, family, and like-minded folks you have befriended.  

There is a lot you can do for your health, both mental, spiritual, and physical.  The point is, it’s up to you- Doctors and Dentists and such are like the medieval priests of old, telling you what to do in life.  Intermediaries, that do not have your interests first and foremost.  It is really up to you to contact Jesus directly!

That’s it for now, but like anything worthwhile in life, the journey never really ends.  We continually strive throughout life, in our health, in making a living, and connecting with others meaningfully.  The idea that if you only make lots of money, why then you can just lie around in hedonism and luxury is a lie.  To stop improving is to start to die, both physically and spiritually.  
So listen to PaleoJay podcasts as they arrive!  I really try to address important issues that will improve your life and your outlook on the real world, as it unfolds.  This is a forum for your ideas and mine- PaleoJays Smoothie Cafe!

Why Conservatives Are Doomed

Responsibility is the Meaning of Your Life on PaleoJay's Smoothie Cafe


We live nowadays in a highly complex, interdependant Western civilization.  This means that every person within that complex TRIBE needs to pull their own weight, and MORE!

Only by such action have we built this amazing edifice where machinery works, where our huge cities used to work (more on that later), and science and progress continues onward, unabated.  It is by adult men, primarily, realizing that their purpose in life is to work hard to assist others, and to stop those other men who do not do so.  Those parasites who are a threat and a drain, rather than an asset.

We have reached a point in our Western civilization, laboriously reared up by our European ancestors over thousands of years, where many of our own people, and unfortunately many many more not of our own people, who have been imported, scream on and on about rights!  Of course, rights are important, like free speech and freedom of autonomy and action, and the rights to bear arms.

But now, the shrill cadence screaming they want rights are mainly speaking of gaining free stuff!  Affirmative action- reparations- welfare and more and more and more, endlessly- free stuff.  Meaning the products of Western Civilization that Western science has produced, along with endless labor of Western men over many, many generations- the cry is to simply “Give it to us!  We cannot build it, we won’t build it- but it is our RIGHT!”

Cultures that have lazed about for millenia, who are from warm climes that have no requirement, really, for hard work, preparations to survive harsh winters; who live in the moment, with not eye to the future- they are not prepared or ready for any real advanced, western notion of responsibility.  But, they do know what they want, which is everything WE have produced!

Our young men have reached a point where they don’t feel a sense of purpose.  They are reviled as having ‘white privilege’, which is utter nonsense.  They are also hated as racists, when any younger white person has been browbeat and indoctrinated to the point where they spend most of their time introspectively self-examining themselves to expunge any tiny racist urge they think they might have, since they are constantly harangued about their evil natures!

Well, I am here to tell you young men of America and Europe- you have done NOTHING WRONG!  You are simply the inheritors of a wondrous culture and civilization, a place that has been created by your ancestors.  Your Ancestors have built a civilization that is the penultimate creation of mankind- Western Civilization!  

Nothing else in all of the history of mankind even comes close.  From the ancient Scythian and Germanic tribes, to ancient Greece and Rome, and then to the Enlightenment of Europe- from Homer and Shakespeare to Dickens and then to the Founding Fathers- no other culture even comes close, in ALL of history!  

European civilization is even aped by every other culture in the world, today.  Chinese, African, South American- whatever you can name, the leaders in those places copy European dress, manners, and ways as much as they can.  They will never admit it, but they know our culture is dominant, and more- it is the BEST.

But what we have forgotten is this: that it is all because of each man in the culture, for thousands of years, has assumer RESPONSIBILITY!  

The responsibility of supporting his family; and more- of enforcing law and order within his tribe and community.  Of being a George Bailey against a sea of royal Mr. Potters- standing up for what is right.  

Nowadays, all of that is ‘uncool’.  We are supposed to be accepting.  Supportive of our so-called ‘leaders’ importing low IQ, hostile enemy tribespeople into our ancestral homelands!  

And the hostile takeover of our very cities, built by our ancestors, where we are no longer welcome!  


Well, I am here to tell you that all of this has to change, and quickly.  As a Paleo Tribesman, it is Your Responsibility!  And mine.

All of this evil has progressed for far too long, and now we are in a rearguard defensive position, unfortunately.  We have options, but each of us, especially young men with or without families yet, need to act immediately.

If you are still in school, get a real trade, as in a blue collar one ideally!  Tech colleges are great- get a trade, and then go back and finish your full degree.  Or else, finish it on your own, via computer, youtube, and self-reading ala Abraham Lincoln.

I hate to say it, but truth must be told: the major cities are done.  Think about it- they have been (successfully) invaded by low IQ tribes, with the assistance and wherewithall of our enemies within- largely the Democratic party, the earlier party of slavery and the elite.  

So, get out of major cities- that is Job #1!  Crime is off the charts, the schools are awful pits of violence and those that despise learning.  “Learning is white!”  
That is really how they think now.

Find a nice, midwestern or western small community- maybe there are some in west or the south or elsewhere- you will have to research it.  Just know that where you live, especially if you have young children and a family, is more important than just about anything else!  The reason suburbs and gated communites around major cities, along with private schools, are so expensive is that they will pay anything not to subject their children to such horrible conditions and violence, along with no learning.  (It’s white).

I am sad to introduce race into this paleo discussion, but my advice to blacks or other races would be the same: get out of big, chocolate cities!  They have become violent, evil places, and color blind or not- that is the truth.

Find a place where your neighbors have values similar to yours.  Get into a small town, or outside of a small city, where crime is enforced, and schools are good, and businesses run smoothly and efficiently.  In such a place, if you are taking up my strong recommendation to take up responsibility, you can easily find work, meaningful work, that will support you and your family, if you work responsibly in your turn for the tribe.  

The tribe of Western Civilization!

For that is what it is now.  Just as when Rome was collapsing from the utter corruption and dissolution of the elites there, (the Democrats of their time), as those elite families were encouraging the influx of outsiders into their empire, those that were like us, Paleo People just wanting to perpetuate the TRIBE of Western Civilization away from utter decadence, moved to smallholdings in places like Spain and France, where they could keep true Western Civilization alive.

And so they did.  As the once mighty edifice of Rome collapsed into decadence, (just as the EU and the USA seem intent on doing now), small colonies of escapees set up their little tribes in friendly climes, and became intent on survival.  They built walls around tribes of like-minded people, and eventually castles- the wanted to preserve Western Civilization.  

This resulted in the Middle ages, which preserved the kernel of our Civilization until the Enlightenment!  

And, I really hate to say it, and most would not agree (it is VERY politically incorrect!) as I’m sure it was in ancient Rome as well- but we are at this point.

Paleo People, those who want to save their health, along with Western Civilization itself, need to get away from the utter corruption of Big Cities in modern European countries.

And this includes the USA!  

Just as in our individual health, our healing is all in Nature.  Taking responsibility, and returning to an environment based in nature and the natural environment itself restores us to what is truly valuable in our lives.  

Don’t just live within 50 miles of where you grew up, and do over 90% of folks, for the rest of their lives!  Do some research, pick out a wonderful place, and go there.  

Tell me where it is- I’d love to hear!

Defend Borders, End Welfare, and Save Civilization on PaleoJays Smoothie Cafe podcast






In other words, don’t go down the same path as ancient Rome.  Rome, which lasted roughly 1000 years, spent the first 500 as a republic of small landholders, who also took time off from their farms and shops to defend the country.  They had a strong aversion to kings and other sorts of authoritarian rulers and governments, and pioneered the form of republicanism.  

This republic was a very efficient and effective government, and one which nourished freedom of speech and the individual.  Free men are much better as wariors, since they are fighting for themselves, and their own country; and not as mercenaries or hired guns with nothing at stake for themselves.  Freedom also results in a free, working capitalism, in which the citizens provide for themselves, and get to keep what they produce for the most part.  Taxes are minimal, and all are expected to provide for themselves and their families.  Minimal government is ideal for freedom in all aspects: free speech in encouraged, small direct representatives (like the ancient Senate) represent what those they represent want, not what a huge bureaucracy and its king desire for themselves.  

When Rome was a republic, it was unbeatable, and was an exclusive, nationalistic country with happy and productive citizens!  

But, after it became a centralized, monarchistic Caesar-led government after the time of Julius Caesar, it became what we would now term a globalist empire.  Now, enough was never enough!  The elites- the higher ups, the celebrities, the governmental big wigs and generals- they needed endless expansion.  The Italian peninsula was not enough- now they wanted the whole world!


And so, with endless warfare for the slaves and treasure it brought to the upper class, those small holding farmers and shopkeepers were bought out of their own homes and lands, and slaves were brought in from foreign places to work the Roman citizen’s former lands with the slaves of the elite.  The citizens were left with nothing, and went to Rome, where they were given bread and circuses (WELFARE) to keep them mollified as an increasingly diverse army of military mercenaries were brought in from Germania, primarily.  

Meanwhile, those hardy early Roman citizens degenerated into what most weak city dwellers turn into- welfare dependents, who live for the moment, since the future is not theirs to determine, but is decided by the government and the elites.  And those German soldiers were thinking ‘we are here, and we will displace and replace these degenerates.’  

Remember, Jesus would not worship Caesar as a god, since he was just another man.  But Caesar and his governors could not have that, freedom of speech had long since been eradicated.  Like all big, central governments, eventually the only solution to those who don’t conform- is death.

And so, my paleo point, my ancestral theory is that: 

Centralized government, no matter what you call it, is ultimately a KINGSHIP.  King, queen, lords and ladies; all with different names perhaps, but the same for all that!  Socialism or its near twin, Communism, always devolves into a Kingship, where those at the top take all of everything, and then dole it out as they see fit to everyone else.  To those who produce it, who do the work.

Now, who is going to work as hard as they can- if what they produce is simply taken away by force?  

No one.  Why should they?  Especially as people from far countries are brought in to also take what they produce for free?

Welfare is Socialism, and is a magnet for those who will not work, produce, learn or contribute.  And if you have open borders, you will attract an endless parade of the worst, ill-intentioned, and idle people in the world.  

Rome found this out, and died in droves, eventually.  Their King/Socialist leaders destroyed their society, while living themselves in decadent luxury and sloth, living ‘in the moment’ like human animals.  

So there you go: our goals, as paleo tribespeople, are to oppose this king/socialism at every chance we get!  To go back to the impulses that led the Founding Fathers and the early Yankees to rebel from the King and Nobles back in England.

Get out of big cities, like Rome!  Nowadays, cities like New York, San Francisco, Chicago, London, Paris and Detroit are as debauched, dangerous, and evil as Rome ever was, and becoming ever worse.  Get out into the uncontaminated countryside, and find a group of people that look, and think like yourself and your family.  Keep as separate from big government (kings) as you can, and ideally keep your children away from negative indoctrination ala the “Hitler Youth” as you can- like the governmentally controlled indoctrination centers we now call Public Schools!

Don’t listen to Big Government, big medicine, or big pharma- they are all kings, and not your friend at all.  Big media as well- almost everything they tell you in propaganda to make you believe LIES that they spread.

And live local!  Get locally grown food and other products, have good neighbors provide services, and reciprocate with your own contributions.  Live on your own land, not in a prison/apartment, and fight tooth and nail to not allow any kind of ‘integration’ (forced social unwanted mixing), section 8 housing (cancer cells being built in the middle of nice areas).  Also, insist on STRICT LAW ENFORCEMENT, while ultimately relying on that of your own, and your neighbors.  

Own a gun, or several, and become practiced in its use.  This is mandatory for individual freedom and autonomy.  All of this is part of the Paleo Prescription, although being as politically incorrect as it is, this is probably the only place where you will hear it!  

And remember: even Jesus ignored the Kinglike Rules of Rome!

Be Your Own Batman on PaleoJay's Smoothie Cafe podcast




I know- this sounds like an extremely unlikely focus for a paleo podcast: you know, eating and living in accordance with our genetic programming, living ancestrally in the manner (as much as possible) in which we evolved.  But bear with me…

Aside from eating ancestrally (no grains, or at least very little and properly prepared ones like with sour dough ala Weston A. Price), adequate pastured meats, eggs, and dairy along with plenty of vegetables and some fruits like berries or citrus, and sweetening with raw honey and maple syrup- we also need to live according to ancestral principals.  

Ancient, paleolithic peoples lived in tribes.  Such a grouping of people is the healthiest, most natural way for humans to not only survive, but to thrive!  We always focus on the survival, and mostly the health related bits of the paleo lifestyle.  Like, what can we do to maximize our healthiness and fitness- Perfectly Paleo Exercise, utilizing things like virtual resistance, stretching, walking and running barefoot, and living in contact with the natural world as much as possible.  I mean, my podcast and all the other paleo podcasts and written materials go into great detail about all of these things.  

But the most important thing of all to paleo people was The Grand Narrative!

This is the story, the story of the people of the tribe.  Think of important stories, like The Odyssey, and Beowulf!  Those are wonderful classical examples, but I guarantee you that each and every successful paleolithic tribe had important stories about the heroes of their own tribe that were chanted about the campfires of an evening, pointing out the rare greatness and heroism of their own people!  Such stories energized the folk to aspire to greatness, to sacrifice and to aspire to be a mighty warrior, or a beautiful woman with a loving family, or to the elder who counciled with hard-won wisdom both war strategies and planning for the future by provisioning the tribe for a harsh winter…

Without such a narrative, people are left rudderless; unable to see a purpose to their survival!  But, with a good narrative, a reason to work, and to strive- not only for oneself, or even for the good of your own immediate family- but for the good of the tribe and God himself:  this is what truly inspires an individual to greatness.  

My 4 year old grandson stayed with us for a couple of days this week.  He idolizes Batman, and I get it- Batman to him is Odysseus!  A great hero, someone with great strength and power, who works tirelessly for the overall good- someone to emulate!  I don’t think he could do much better, really.  We naturally figure such things out, if not misled, at the ripe old age of FOUR.

Think of modern, Neolithic, non paleo people.  Those who live in cities and suburbs, buying into the modern tropes and misinformation of our times:  They are not concerned with timeless values and the goals of Living Well, Being Good, Protecting Our Tribe from Evil, etc. Etc. 

No, modern ultracivilized and brainwashed people, cut off from nature, focus on what they have been Misled to Believe by the very enemies of their natural tribe:

Climate Change Bad!
Orange Man Bad!
Borders Bad!
All Food Same- Health Only From Doctors and Drugs!
Not Arrest Criminals- No Fair!!

And the worst of all: Our Tribe Bad!  Tribe Privilege!!

See the utter nonsense, the brainwashing here?  The lack of a people’s grand narrative that would, in contrast, display the utter idiocy of such fake thinking??

A Paleolithic tribal person would instantly see the insanity, the evil of such a fake narrative, obviously concocted by an enemy of the tribe.  They would remember Achilles, and Hercules, and other great men of their tribe and culture, and know that now they were needed to fight such villainy!  

And so can we, paleo people of today, see the nonsense and the evil here.  But who is the modern hero we can identify with??

Well, just like a 4 year old, we can try to be like the BATMAN!

He is just like an ancient Paleo, or early civilization hero- 

He fights for the right, when even the rulers will not.  He is strong and valiant, courageous and mighty.  He protects the downtrodden, whether oppressed by the corrupt rulers, or the criminals within society that are not being punished as they should be by the rulers!  

HE IS THE CONSCIENCE OF THE TRIBE and its right arm!!  

We don’t just build our bodily health and strength for ourselves, that would be fruitless.  We build our health and fitness for the Great Narrative- we build it to protect, regenerate, and enforce the great ideas and goals of our tribe.  Our elders, our children, and all of us together.

We build the strength and wellness of ourselves and as much as we can of our entire tribe-

And then, we do not hesitate to use it to protect us from invaders
Both from within and without.
Those that try to destroy the tenets and ideals of our tribe,
Or to commit crimes!
BOTH are anti-tribal values, and need to be stamped out.

So- BE YOUR OWN BATMAN!

Crucial Exercise You Ignore on PaleoJay's Smoothie Cafe podcast


You should address each and every part of your body on a daily, or at least near-daily basis!  For me, each day when I arise, I go through a brief limbering session right away, in the bathroom before going downstairs- rotating all of my joints, and gradually awakening with deep breathing and simple mobility movements.  (I hesitate to call them ‘exercises’, since they are simple, easy, and enjoyable, taking a maximum of 2-3 minutes total).

Next, downstairs, I brew my coffee, feed the cats, and go into my workout area.  (The Living Room!)  I start the TV, and my workout at the same time, only pausing to sip my organic brew…  it is the very best, most satisfying part of my day!  It not only grounds me, it gradually energizes me in that early morning hour or so that I devote to both myself, my sanity, and my overall health.

You can either look up exercise at www.paleojay.com, or get my book Perfectly Paleo Exercise to understand everything that I do.  Or email me: I’ll be glad to let you know what to do- it is my mission!

But I know that, even if you follow my prescription of early morning exercise, daily, in front of your TV- you are probably ignoring some of the most important parts of your body!  Most everyone does…

Stretching!  Just crucial- lie on the floor and stretch in every way imaginable-this becomes more and more important as you age, crucial really.

Exercise your FACE, NECK, HANDS and FEET!  
This is ignored by pretty much everyone, and really- what is more important to your overall health and well-being than having a good looking, healthy FACE?  

There are all kinds of facial exercises, and the ones I do take perhaps 1 minute, two at most.  They tend to be virtual resistance types of exercise, which means that you make faces while flexing throughout the range of motion.  That is really what virtual resistance means, whether it if you arms, shoulders, legs or face- it really is the very core of paleo exercise.  NOT weight lifting!  Lifting heavy weights is a joint destroyer, and unnecessary for maximum strength anyway.

Your neck can be exercised this way, but the best way for the neck, as delicate as it is due to the vertebrae, is to use manual resistance.  Simply resist the forward movement of your head with your two hands, to the fore, and then back.  Push against the resistance of your hands hard, and keep resisting for perhaps 5 seconds or so.  Then, repeat to each side, pushing isometrically with effort- you are done!
Then, grasp your jaw, and resist the upward pull of your jaw muscles isometrically for the same 5 seconds.  Done!
Lastly, fold a towel on the floor, and do a back bend, rising up on your toes while lying flat on your back, and simultaneously lift your upper body up using your head, and coming to rest on just your forehead and toes- hold for a good minute, if you comfortably can!  This is actually a superb whole body exercise, but puts wonderful stress on the neck, while stretching your back very beneficially.

The face, neck, and jaw can be exercised fully in a small fraction of time, but the benefits are off the charts important!  Small muscles don’t need much time, for massive improvements not only to your overall function, but also to your appearance.  People focus overall far more to the appearance of your face, than to your chest or biceps!  

The hands and above all the grip are essential to overall health and functionality!  You can manually resist both the upward and downward motion of the wrists by resisting with the other hand, and also the side to side movement, ending with a strong isometric.  Using a dowel or bar, and attempting to ‘break’ it in two is another way to exercise the grip.  Grip strength is a key sign of aging…

This last is my favorite, for I suffered for years with not knowing how to address it- plantar facsiitis.  This is foot pain, which is endemic in the modern world, and which standard medical science has no clue how to address.

Your typical MD will recommend wearing orthotics to ’cushion’ the foot, and to ‘never walk barefoot’, both of which are completely and utterly wrong!  

What you want to do is to walk barefoot AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE, outdoors preferably, on uneven ground.  This will strengthen the overall foot and supporting structures in the most natural, and effective way possible!

So- do this!  Walk, run, sprint, and jog around in parks or on sandy beaches, in barefoot state, or at least wearing minimal shoes without arch support, orthotics, or any other crutch that modern medical doctors and podiatrists might prescribe.  

And, for the ultimate cure for acute plantar fasciitis- exercise the dorsiflexion of your foot, rather than the flexion!!

I mention this to save you time and frustration.  When I was suffering from extreme foot pain, I followed all of the recommendations of the standard medical advice: 

Stretch downwards on a block to extend range.
Wear orthotics to cushion the trauma.

Neither does anything whatsoever to relieve the condition. NOTHING!

What does?

Using resistance to resist motion going UPWARDS- resist the toes going UP rather than DOWN.  Use the manual resistance of your hand or a stationary object, and do an isometric of your toes rising upwards, rather than the endless extending of the toes upwards!  Dorsiflexion.

This one thing will bring about near instantaneous relief from your pain of plantar fasciitis, and encourage you to follow the rest of my prescription:

Which is walking, jogging, and running around barefoot, as much as possible, as often as you can do so!  For the human foot, just as the human body overall, is strengthened and energized by being used as it was designed.  

Your foot was not meant to be encased in tubes of leather or vinyl, and cushioned with padding as you walked around in a flat floored mall or on a living room carpet- 

No. Your foot was meant to twist, flex, pronate and dorsiflex as it adapted to multiple stressors in the natural environment!  Your foot is like a complex cable bridge, able to adapt and build its very strength by twisting and turning along with changes in the environment- and without those stressors it becomes like an ancient decadent Roman emperor- it turns into a painful mound of flab!

So, treat your feet (and your overall body and mind!) like the natural, vibrant animals they are meant to be (and are!).  Let your body live in the natural world, and don’t listen to those who advise you to coddle it, and cushion it, and inject it with every drug that will supposedly protect it from the natural world!

We are creatures of nature, and the natural environment.  The further we remove ourselves from that place, the more traumatized and painful, even pointless, our lives seem to be.  Supposed ‘experts’ are decadent, and false signposts.
Listen to your own body and mind.  Eat real food, and live as much as possible in Nature.  Breathe pure air and drink pure water.  Stay away from medical advice, and live as far from government and big medicine as possible. 
Vote only to MINIMIZE GOVERNMENT!
And above all- IGNORE THE MEDIA!

Your MD is a Snake Oil Salesman podcast on Paleojays smoothie cafe


Now I don’t mean that all doctors are snake oil peddlers, showing up on your Main street with bottles of white lightning mixed with cocaine like they did in the old days… but, in many cases, not only are their many prescriptions often worthless, many are downright harmful.  Just as were those of those snake oil salesmen doctors in the 1800’s!  

Now, Clark Stanley was an archetypal medicine man of the old Western era, and his oil was sold far and wide throughout the U.S. Now, the original ‘snake oil’ was a real remedy from the fat of a Chinese water snake that figured large in Chinese medicine.  But the wild west alternative was usually liquor, turpentine, and chili peppers mixed with mineral oil.  Yum!  But oftentimes is also had opium also mixed in, and with the combination of the liquor, I’m sure it did make the drinker feel temporarily- well, if not better, well at least he was so dizzy he didn’t feel his aches and pains as acutely for a while.

Fast forward to today, and although doctors give the illusion of professionalism, of being ‘men and women of science’- truly, by and large they are not!  They are capable of amazing feats of last-ditch repair- kind of as auto mechanics of the human body, where they can keep you going after a bad wreck- but they know nothing of how to stay healthy.  Their nostrums and potions, the NSAIDS and statins, the high blood pressure medications, the anti-depressents and all the rest- they only treat the symptoms of whatever chronic sickness you have.  Nothing they do or recommend can treat the root cause; in fact, they don’t usually even go there.  The general conclusion to any query of ‘What causes this (or that) disease is- no one knows!’  

Hardly confidence inspiring, is it?  Right on par with old Clark Stanley saying “Just drink from this here bottle, every day and twice on Sunday, & you will be right as rain my friend!”

The true takeaway about this failure of modern medicine (for that is what it is- a complete failure- a corporate decision by modern medical clinics and hospitals, drug manufacturers, the AMA and all the other big conglomerate decision makers- is to take the money and run!  Just like old ‘Snake Oil Clark.  He didn’t know the actual cause (or the real cure) of disease either.  He just gave you something that made him money (1st priority), that also made you kind of forget your pains for a bit. (2nd priority)  And that’s pretty much what’s happening today, with modern medicine and its approach to chronic disease.

“Here, Mrs. Jones,” said the man in the white coat.  “Take these pills, and then you don’t need to change your diet and lifestyle to cure your (diabetes/obesity/high blood pressure/chron’s disease/arthritis/ depression etc etc etc fill in the blank disease).  Just go ahead eating your high processed carbs and sugar diet, wash it down with corn syrup sweetened soft drinks, but  be sure to only fry your chicken nuggets in soy or other industrial vegetable seed oils! Oh, and try to walk a few minutes each day, and avoid stress by watching lots of TV.  And cut calories as much as possible!  Also, avoid too much sleep, since you burn more calories when you are awake.”  

This is only a slight exaggeration, since good advice almost never comes from a medical ‘professional’; at least about true health.  

But what would ‘Snake Oil PaleoJay’ recommend to you?  Well, pretty much what your great grandparents would have told you: First, they would have said- ‘ Your health care is YOUR RESPONSIBILITY!  No one elses- no doctor, no clinic, no government, NO ONE- Just YOU!’  
Then, they would go into particulars.

‘Eat lots of vegetables, and good God made fats like butter, ghee, lard and tallow.  Avoid anything that is processed by big industry- fast food, restaurant food for the most part, sweets of all kinds, and refined breads and other grain products.  Load up on wonderful foods as made by nature, like pastured eggs and meats, wild caught sea food, and raw dairy.  Eat naturally fermented foods, and above all get out in Nature and exercise vigorously, on a daily basis!  Breathe fresh country air, get out of crowded, smoggy cities with their chemicalized air and water, and raise as much of your own food as you can, preparing it in your own kitchen.  And sleep a good 8 hours each and every night in a cool dark room, without any sort of television or other electrical monstrosity blazing away, disturbing your mind and psyche.  Oh, and go to church every Sunday, and give thanks for your natural God given health and wellness, which will only remain if you avoid DRUGS of all sorts, illegal and, especially nowadays- LEGAL DRUGS! ‘

Listen to your great grandparents!  They knew that ol’ Snake Oil Stanley was a charlatan, just like the ‘Rain Man’ that came through town was.  And one more thing they would advise: ‘ Never go to the doctor unless you absolutely have to- meaning you break a limb, get an infectious disease like typhoid or pneumonia, get shot, or need an amputation of a gangrenous arm or leg!’

Great Grandma and Grandpa knew: doctors were a ‘necessary evil’, something every small town needed only one of, and only on rare occasions.  

Just like Snake Oil Stanley!

Your DNA Defines Your Tribe on PaleoJays Smoothie Cafe podcast


In this era of Globlaism and the idea that ‘we are all the same’, the realism of the ancestral lifestyle shows us how inaccurate such ideas really are.  Our ethnic differences, in other words are true diversity in the type of human that we are defines us.  

If you are of European descent, for instance, or white Caucasion, you are a part of what is the smallest ethnic tribe on earth, and shrinking.  Our birthrate is below replacement level, and growing smaller.  The white ethnic tribe is gettling ever smaller in numbers, despite controlling large areas of the world’s land mass.  

Asians are the largest ethnic group, but their numbers are finally getting under control, due to strict birth control and planning.  The numbers of East Indians, blacks, and other mixed races are exploding far beyond carrying capacity in their native lands, with no slowing in sight!

Why do I bring this up?  Well, humans are tribal by their very nature.  We thrive in homogenous tribes, amongst others with like minds, values, histories, and above all DNA.  We resemble one another greatly, a single tribe of one ethnicity is very like a group of close relatives, of 2nd, 3rd and 4th cousins if you will.  In such a group, we are happiest and healthiest, with crime almost unheard of (for who would rob his relations?) , and with a common purpose and will.  In such a tribe, to take advantage of others really makes no sense, and is always strictly punished and stopped.  

Such a tribe would thrive on similar foodstuffs, and would agree on what was a proper way to live in terms of land usage, ethics, religion- in fact, in all particulars of life!  This is how the world was divided, since time began: the races were deemed ‘separate but equal’.  Or, at least that being among others of your own was the most natural and desirable state.

But now, now that we know of scientific racial differences, we have many deniers, who insist we are all the same.  We are not; some races are faster runners, some are stronger with thicker bones, and some are just smarter on average.  There is no serious counterargument here- it is a scientific fact.  As if a marked difference in temperaments, with some being far more violent than others.

This is just like the paleo realization that evolution made us to thrive on certain foods, like grass fed meat, and green plants in preference to grains and sugars.  Another scientific fact that is ignored and ridiculed by most of the population, because the so-called experts told them it was untrue.  But the paleo people are those that listened to real science, and figured out the truth!

We also hearkened to our evolutionary past, and realized that sleeping in blacked out rooms like our ancestral caves for at least 8 hours per night, and rising at dawn was also what we have evolved to do, along with exercising regularly, briefly and intensely (thus mimicking our ancestors actions of hunting and gathering) - why, this made us healthy, happy, and disease free!  

We learned to ignore the so-called scientific imposters who told us to eat low fat, limit our calories; all while eating GMO grains sprayed with glyphosate and putting fluoride in our water would make us so healthy that we could look forward to a future of stents in our veins and autoimmune diseases that were caused by “no reason we know of”…  What a crock!

So here we are- we are on board with our evolutionary paleo persona, how to eat and live and exercise and sleep to be our very best.  Many of us have learned that a rural type of environment is far preferable for our genotype to thrive, and spend ample time in nature, away from toxic pollutants like big city smog and chlorinated, fluoridated water.  
And here it is that we first part company with anything like globalism, or one world government of any sort.  Like the Euopean Union, which is one giant step in that toxic diredtion, and is anathema for any European country!  For to import other people, of vastly differing race and temperament and intelligence within the countries of the advanced nations of Europe ( or anywhere else where they are not native) is disastrous.  They only bring crime, a non-work ethic (being from soft, warm climes where industrious habits never evolved) and are only suited to be supported by the Europeans!

And so, my heartfelt advice to you of my own paleolithic tribe: be like your ancestors always were.  (Otherwise they would not have survived, much less thrived)!  
Live with others like yourself.  If European ancestors, then live with like-descended peoples.  Marry others that are like you; have descendents that look like your grandparents.  Study your own culture, since that is the cultural rock on which you stand!  Don’t be misled into ‘multi-culturalism’, which is simply a lie- as big of a lie as that modern dietary advice has become, and which is now rapidly collapsing into the nonsense it always was.

Stay out of big cities, which have all become hotbeds of so-called diversity.  They are dangerous, crime-infested, toxic hellholes; only kept alive by huge amounts of money funnelled in from outlying small cities and rural areas.  Their schools in particular are awful; violent and disgusting, in which no learning happens, just predation, mainly black on other races.  

I apologize that some of this may be new to some of you, who are in sheltered suburban, rural, or private schools and gated communities.  But it is very, very real nonetheless- almost all major cities have been infiltrated and taken over by the enemies of those descended from Europeans.  Our so-called leaders have done this, in the name of political correctness, and what they have wrought is unequivocally evil!

Live with your own tribespeople.  Without them about you, you have no hope, and we all have no future.

Red Light Therapy- as good as a sauna? On PaleoJays Smoothie Cafe podcast

Simple!

I want you to try red light therapy!  And, unlike pretty much everyone else urging you to try it- I have nothing to sell you.  I am just like an older brother (I am the eldest brother of eight children, after all), who wants you to be healthy and do well.  And this therapy, just like eating a paleo type of diet, exercising daily in an ancestral, natural way, and sleeping in a blacked out room for at least 8 hours per night- well, it will further greatly enhance your health and wellness.  

And, I will tell you how to do it easily and cheaply!  Interested?

I have been well aware of the benefits of the sauna for quite some time- a full, high heat sauna will help you to sweat out toxins, heal your body, and help you to recover from hard training faster.  Saunas are wondeful- but, they are also expensive, inconvenient, and hard for some to even tolerate.  They are hot, real hot!

I like a sauna, but being a cheap, rural dweller I decided to try to duplicate the advantages without a major expense, or a daily trip to the YMCA.  As a home-based person, who exercises in my living room, basement, and outdoors in the woods, the Y would be an admission of dependence; showing that I actually need a high priced facility to be totally healthy.  I know that is not true!

So, I experimented this summer with the sauna of the ancient Greeks- the sun!  I sat in shorts only in the direct sunshine, glorying in the warmth and the rays basking my shirtless body, only ensuring that I stopped before any burning whatsoever.  

This simple therapy proved wonderful!  In the summer (at least here in the north country), this is the way to go.  The full spectrum of light provided by the sun provides a wonderful means to improve the circulation, thus enhancing recovery from workouts, the release of toxins, the killing of viruses, and all of the other benefits of light and heat.  In other words, the sun (in summer at least) is a natural sauna!

In fact, I liked the results so much that I cast about for a solution for something similar in the Winter!  There is no way to bask in the sun here in Wisconsin in January, or in the other 7 months of winter here…

I thought of converting one of my outbuildings to a sauna, but the expense and the ruination of my cute little sheds bothered me a lot.  So I kept looking, and researching, which is what I do.

Red light therapy came up, and it is amazing!  Pretty much all of the benefits of a sauna, and some that are even more beneficial.  I now believe that a sauna that also incorporates red light therapy within it would be the best of all worlds, but I also believe now that for your average person, simple red light treatments, done at home, are the preferable option for 99% of people.

All you need is a simple red heat lamp, such as is used to heat up chicken coops in winter, held in a 250 watt holder!  





I found this idea at Wendy Meyers site, https://myersdetox.com/single-infrared-heat-lamp-therapy/
I had also read about it elsewhere, but I like to give credit where credit is due: thanks Wendy!  I actually read her article after having bought the same equipment on Amazon, just using my own noggin, and being super pleased with how it worked out.

I now go into my shed, and hang this contraption from a nail above my head.  I also use it as a handheld unit, focussing it on various parts of my body to focus the heat and light where I want it.  I love the intense red ray spectrum on my torso and face, and lately on my sprained foot to encourage healing.

The sense of calm that comes from simply sittting while reading beneath this device is amazing!  You will reset your sleep and circadian rhythmn cycles by doing so without really trying, also I cannot imagine being depressed after undergoing such a regimen.  It is that transforming!

So- there you go!  Instead of a sauna costing thousands of dollars, or even a red light therapy device costing many hundreds- here is the ideal device you can have for about $25, delivered to your door by Amazon.  

This is kind of like delivering the tropics to your northern doorstep, to envelope you in life-giving warmth and light year round!  It will be sort of a ‘forest bathing’ type of light that will rejuvenate you year round, grounding you in Mother Nature.  Even while blizzards whip across the landscape outside in Wisconsin or elsewhere in the north, you will be snug in your cave, furnace blasting dry heat, drying you up and depressing you, BUT:

You will also be basking in the red light of healing- the light of your ancestral equatorial origins- just sitting in your easy chair, book in your hand, being reborn in a way.  And the best part?  Not only do you not have to drive to the YMCA through the snow, or to some chiropractic facility with a sauna or red light room-

You have it right at home, for about $25.

Paleo or Autoimmune Disease- on Paleo Quick Tip of the Day year 11


I really think your choice is just about this stark: either eat a paleo type of diet and practice an ancestral lifestyle- or get an autoimmune disease!

I remember, back when I started changing my diet and lifestyle to paleo.  I cut out grains entirely, and started making a green smoothie to drink on a daily basis.  My first Vitamix blender was an old one, stainless steel, and lasted me for a number of years.  Now I have a late model one, and I recommend this blender as a cornerstone investment!  

Key to getting a nutrient dense diet is to get enough absorbable nutrients from vegetables and some fruits, and blending those frozen veggies into a slurry where they are easily absorbed.  For, as it is becoming more and more apparent, vegetables grown in our depleted soils, where crops are grown nowadays much of the soil microbiome has been destroyed!  This means that the nutrients that used to be found in, say, brocolli from the 1940’s would be maybe 1/4 of what they would have been then in the same amount of brocolli.  And so it goes with all sorts of produce.

And after following the Paleo diet for a while, my wife and I noticed something startling:  little ailments that had begun plaguing us as we moved into our 50’s that we attributed soley to advancing age- disappeared.  For instance, I had begun having migraine headaches!  They were awful, and seemed to be on an increasing basis, where before I had never had headaches at all.

After eliminating bread, pasta, cereal- in other words, all grains- the headaches abruptly stopped!  And, although I had not thought I needed to lose fat, as I was a lifelong serious exerciser and strength trainer- I did lose about 15 pounds, without even trying to.  I believe it was all visceral fat; meaning the fat that is around your internal organs.  This is the most dangerous fat to have, even though it didn’t make me look fat, there is was, secretly strangling my organs and setting me up for future illnesses like diabetes and heart disease, among others.

And now it was gone!

My wife had her rosacia disappear, as well as unwanted weight.  But the most amazing  thing was that we just felt wonderful, day after day!  We got enough sleep,  our joints stopped hurting, and even our daughter started looking not just good, but radiant!  This was in high school, and so needless to say she too became hooked on her dad’s ‘crazy new diet’.

And here is the key point: I remember predicting, way back then, in 2008 or so when I was 56 : “ It won’t be long, and all of our friends will start coming down with all kinds of ailments, including all the Pandora’s box of autoimmune diseases.  
And we will know what they need to do- just follow a paleo lifestyle- and no one will believe us!”

And this is what has basically come to pass.  Friend after friend has come down with devastating illnesses that standard medicine has no cure for, none at all… Only drugs to treat the symptoms, all of which are loaded with side-effects that are often worse than the disease.

And not only friends, and those family members that ignore our advice- but now it is their children getting these horrendous diseases, kids still in their early 30’s!  

And all the while, I sit there watching, trying simply to show the way by example.  I have this podcast, my blog and books, and I am always willing to talk to folks about it- but, most people decide, once they are told that they need to change their diet, to give up their beloved doughnuts and cakes and cookies, breads of all sorts and pasta and instead eat green smoothies, eggs and pastured meats and dairy- well, they opt to ‘just take the medicine instead’.  

Very, very sad!  This medicine cures nothing, and actually makes the patient sicker and sicker, and more dependent, as they become sicker, fatter, and follow the dismal path of diabesity.  They get an autoimmune disease- they have a leaky gut that lets toxins right into their bloodstream from eating processed crap foods-and they say “Woe is me!” and comfort themselves with loads of crappy fake foods that make them feel better for about a minute while deepening their disease susceptibility…

And then, they will inevitably get another autoimmune disease, and another.  Heart disease and cancer are really also autoimmune, and medical clinics and standard doctors that practice outdated ’science’ from the 1970’s cannot treat those two killers either for the most part.  For cancer, they either cut, irradiate, or burn the cancers out- but if you don’t change your diet, it will return, inevitably.
For heart disease, they recommend stents along with a low fat diet.  Stents are very profitable for the medical clinic, and simpy prop open a vein temporarily while they simultaneously load you up with toxic drugs to thin your blood and lower your cholesterol, neither of which are shown to actually help cure your condition in the least.

Change your diet to a high fat, paleolithic sort of diet that our ancestors consumed for millenia.  Live according to nature, in Nature as much as possible, and as far from polluted cities and stressful urban areas as possible!  Exercise naturally and daily, outside in the woods or countryside, barefoot if possible, and revel in the pure air.  Keep your carbs as natural as you can, meaning sweet potatoes and white potatoes, along with veggies of all sorts.  Avoid fast foods, and processed carbage as Jimmy Moore likes to say, and limit carbs overall.  

Don’t try to eat a ketogenic diet, unless you already have an autoimmune disease that would benefit short term from that like diabetes- eat a good paleo diet instead!  Feed your family likewise, and set a good example for your friends and neighbors- they will notice your health, and realize you are doing something very right, even if they don’t admit it to you.  Be content to be a shining example!

It’s never to late; the human body is always trying to heal itself.  And it can- if not prevented from doing so by not being given good, God-made nutrition, along with good sleep in a dark room and natural exercise such as I describe in Perfectly Paleo Exercise and on my blog at www.paleojay.com

But do this thing!  Go back to the diet of Human Beings as Beverly Meyer puts it.  Don’t eat grass seeds (grains) like a cow and expect to be healthy!  Especially don’t eat grass seeds that are genetically modified and liberally sprayed with glyphosate and other chemicals, meats that are raised in confined animal feedlots and fed garbage and injected with chemical vaccines, and expect anything other than to become disease ridden.  

Eat like a Human Being, and you will become a healthy, happy human being!
