Carnivore Dreams – Jungian Thoughts

Nice picture, eh?  But no doubt Carl thought our dream life contributed more to our "realities" than mere psychological titillation or curiosity.  We in modern western society view our dreams as some sort of  illumination as to our psychological and emotional states.  Jung, along with his theory of synchronicity, felt it was more than that.  …

Carnivore Dreams – Seasonal Plants and Oxalate Toxicity

According to Sally Norton, an Australian plant biologist and expert, there is such a thing as seasonal oxalate plant toxicity since we likely did not eat these plants year round.  Conventional medicine has long known many people develop oxalate kidney stones, so there has been some reference to this already.

Carnivore Dreams – Chicken Adobo Done

Carnivore Dreams – Chicken Adobo

Browned chicken in slow cooker.  Will post picture tomorrow after it cooks six hours.  If I remember.  Will do my best.  Just a bit of soy sauce, vinegar, black pepper corns, bay leaves, garlic and salt and pepper on.  I will likely baste in the sauce along the way.  I'll serve it with some wild …

Carnivore Dreams – Duck Confit Recipe test

Comments on the experiment in case you have a hankering for duck: 1.  I needed more herbs and less salt.  I have a new spice mixture in mind. 2.  Next time I will only cure the legs 24 hours instead of 48.  Also to cut back on saltiness. 3.  Always rinse the legs thoroughly and …

Carnivore Dreams – Jungian Thought for the Day

Yet they mean something, don't they?  Question is, do they provide a deeper alternate reality just as important as our waking realities or they just meaningless phenomena that might shine a bit more light and casual interest on our psyches? I think the former and since I know a lot about Jung's ideas on synchronicity …

Carnivore Dreams – Body Type

This is the link to body type from Women's Health. This just showed up in my inbox yesterday and I'd say it's about time.  Not that I feel the article addressed the issues all properly.  For instance, they don't say that if you do 23 and Me you will find out there are actually three …

Carnivore Dreams -Follow up Folks on Carnivore

Keto Endurance website (I'll post a link to him tomorrow), posts follow up interviews with folks who have been carnivore to see how they are doing in a year at least, or two.  It's fascinating to see …

Carnivore Dreams – Electrolytes

Electrolytes are important if you are on either a ketogenic or carnivore diet.  I was always aware of this and especially, if fasting, I took magnesium supplements and added salt to my water.  You definitely tend toward dehydration which accounts for many peoples' headaches, and keto flu. However, I realized just lately that I am …
