I am a Prophet because I am not a prophet , explained further

 Here is a further explanation of my cryptic blogpost from 2020 during Covid.

Health as a subject currently has major if not deadly drawbacks

 

The only thing we own is our body and that ownership was removed when we signed our baby's birth certificate. We are vassals of State but only in Maritime Law which declares us as lost at sea . Some of the strange subliminal pressures we feel and dont know where it's coming from , is the shenanigans surrounding our legal identity which is different from who we are . Fourth quartile , wackier ( more spiritually normal ) folk, the St John personality , willow tree , eagle face , melancolic , yellow designation in Surrounded by Idiots, INFJ in Meyers Briggs , ADHD if you are a Tavistock Draco trying to remove them from the earth and having less success in locking them away forever in mental homes or Russian Gulags.....

These types have ' felt ' this strange mismatch of identity since childhood but ofcourse it is kept hidden . Unless you went to Dr Loarridges version of the 1624 Dr Challoners Grammar school , where he installed a new Civics class to reveal some of these tricks back in 74 or so.

As you investigate these things you find they are but mirrors of the same identity theft in Genesis 3.

People want to know why they should become Christians ? That is really the most stupid question ,and hilarious when you get finding truth .

It's something similar to a goldfish asking what is special about living beyond the goldfish bowl?

These sort of ideas permeate the Matrix films .

Gold fish only eat food with the blue pill, obviously .

But how stupid is it our whole lives to trust in a health service that is part of the vassals of State Maritime Law lie ...." ofcourse your baby must have the 70 vaccines .....did you think you have a choice or something ?"

And this facade is maintained by two huge Lord of the Rings Towers called MHRA  and FDA who won't raise a finger to research dandelion and astaxanthin or any other unpatentable natural plant or mineral......even if dandelion was one of the actual cures for cancer .

So we now live in this stupid world where in order to sell natural products companies have to bow to the cheapskate recent lords MHRA and FDA instead of the thousands of years of natural cause and effect testing  of communities round the world. In fact BLUE LONGEVITY ZONES daily prove the hogwash that is MHRA and FDA.

Look.....GCMaf is the hormone in everybodys body that fights cancer and other diseases .

It doesnt need FDA approval . God put GCMaf there . FDA and MHRA need to grovel with their face to the floor in dirt for even arresting Dr Noakes under the spurious claim ' that he was administering unregistered medicine .'

Firstly it's been in our bodies since creation and secondly it's been 35 years since recent researchers did the prizewinning study isolating it .

Its only reason that the FDA and MHRA haven't done tests is because it is natural , makes little money and IT WORKS BETTER THAN ANYTHING THEY CAN COME UP WITH .

My Mum is now dead . Cancer and radiotherapy and chemo killed her . The science was there ten whole years earlier . The hospice trade thrives on FDA and MHRA being the obstructive gate keepers they are .

Products that have cured people from the root of the condition up  have to put this on their containers .

"These statements have not been evaluated  by the Food and Drug Administration . This product is not intended to diagnose, treat ,cure or prevent any disease ".

Well that's an outright lie because ancient peoples have been curing themselves for 6000 years with some of them .

Babies like FDA and MHRA should be put in their place for mouthing off while still in their oil derivative products high chair .

So the next credibility problem natural supplement people like British Supplements go through is the wild west Gatekeeper  Trustpilot .

Hey fellow Bs'ers

 

I thought Saturday's email would be the last email about Trustpilot (TP) for a while, then I got the emails below yesterday.

They really do not like it when they are not in control.

Image links below so you can see for yourself.

Their sales man trying to book a call to sell their review services… to help us get more reviews. The irony.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1bzPhErU_sD8LMd2EU7mtEYRDRNaxC57s/view?usp=sharing

"We've detected that you've been offering consumers an incentive to review www.british-supplements.net.

 

Incentives of any kind are not allowed on Trustpilot. This includes discounts, monetary rewards, loyalty points, gifts, coupons, referral bonuses, competitions, etc."

We have never done anything like that... Ever.

They simply do not like the fact we have an army of customers who we can call upon for support every 6 months or so, to leave genuine reviews and balance out their monopoly position on Google search for reviews.

For anyone new to reading our emails, here’s the issue in simple terms:

The Trust Pilot ongoing blackmail problem.

We do not use TP as our review platform

We get a 1-3 negative reviews on there every month

Because we don’t actively collect reviews there, over time the page turns mostly red with negatives

TP ranks number 1 on Google for “British Supplements reviews”

So if we never emailed our customers asking for honest reviews over the last 5/6 years, the first thing people would see when searching our company would be 1/5 stars on TP, which does not reflect us.

It's as close to a blackmail business model as you can legally get.

We have no problems with negative reviews. We all get them, and we try and learn from the genuine ones and improve were we can.

Meanwhile, on our actual website review platform, judge.me, we currently get around 15-20 reviews per day and have over 42,000+ reviews in total currently.

https://judge.me/reviews/stores/british-supplements.net

Scroll down and choose most recent to see the most recent reviews.

If we never emailed out every 6 months over the last 5 years or so then we would have a 1 outa 5 stars on TP, and it would be the first thing anyone sees when they google “british supplements reviews” like I was just saying above.

So in a nutshell, they do not want us asking our customers for real reviews on TP because it filters out the negative reviews on their website about us, and ends the pressure against us, because someone with an email address opened up an account about us on TP.com

Negative reviews force companies into buying their reviews app because they rank number 1 for "your business +reviews" in google.

Together, we take away their power, and boy, they do not like it.

Anyway thought I'd update everyone.

Also, not sure what to do here, I would like to take them to court for their business practises, but it takes away from me building the company and making it a better experience for everyone.

We have to do something tho, as it seems they are taking away our right to ask you (our real customers) for your experiences with us (good and not so good) and to leave such reviews on TP, so it will be only the negatives on there.

Their motives are crystal clear from what I can see.

I thought they couldn't be any more of a scumbag company, and then this happens.

Anyway, moving on.

What if we did church properly ? What would happen ?

 

Thomas Erikson wrote ' Surrounded by Idiots'. The book describes how we are not surrounded by idiots but as 1 Corinthians 12 :14-26 states also, we cannot read each other properly.

Similar to John Gray's " Men are from Mars and Woman are from Venus ", Thomas is doing the same for the four main frequencies upon which all humans operate . Choleric,sanguine,pragmatic, melancholic.

Once we grasp these things , yes , like all pigeonholing , it can be binding , and to avoid this the two women Meyers and Briggs covered the 16 blends of these four categories .

Lo and behold companies like Zurich Insurance would present applicants for a job with a version of multiple choice questions that came from Meyers Briggs profiling and the primary quartile they wanted to weed out were the fourth quartile INFJs, the St John quartiles . Probably the personable John Mark quartiles would be placed at the front end of their business and Matthews and Lukes at the drier less caring claims department end.

Well, however this screening knowledge is used among secular not very connected people , how does it work in the Spirit with reconnected born again  baptised in the Spirit people ?

The answer is we don't really know because we aren't sufficiently mature yet and anyway all churches pretty well ignore the 1 Corinthians 12 summary of how Body Church operates .

Every church on earth operates with one leader. So Body doesn't happen . And if it does , the leadership is not mature enough to in anyway compare with the co-functioning apostles in the 1 John 1 protocol overseeing one City.

What we have seen is Conferences . These leaders have emerged to some kind of maturity and recognition of each other's charisma as ministries.

And over 100 years or so we have seen John Mark helps ministries rise disproportionately to their natural headsdown play it safe and more local approach .

George Cadbury affected so many lives as a Christian around Birmingham , finding solutions to the new industrialisation that his death wasnt far short of a royal funeral . Descriptions in Cadbury's chocolate walkrounds.

George Mueller showed us somebody finding the pattern of leaning into Gods supply for the equivalent of 2 or 3 billion pounds during his orphanage foundations.

George Verwer started Operation Mobilisation .

Brother Andrew ministered internationally into Communist areas then Muslim countries .

Because the way we do church doesn't allow for the three stages of growth , the majoring on the single eye approach of Jesus training , the understanding of discerning the Body of Christ in 1 Corinthians 12:14-26 and allowing a church gathering to be taken by the Holy Spirit through all the 3 chapter 12 Diverse classes of His operations we are stuck , at best , in some Romans 3 to 5 first grace paradigm and nobody really grows .

Faith Walters new book will anoint many leader's eyes to taking everybody through Romans 6 to 8, what is fast being perceived as the second grace .

It got confused with baptism in the Spirit but Jesus command was to preach the infilling of the Spirit as the third Kingdom key on day one .

Repent , be baptised and be filled with the Spirit .

What do thirdlevel Matthews Marks Lukes and Johns look like ? What does the self building FOUR WOODS ecclesia with the roof with holes look like ? Leviticus 23.40

So far we only have the first Church Jesus built as an example and all those 12 are one half of the 24 elders before the Throne .

Giving instead of the tithing law

 

Jonathan Brennemann writes

More reasons why tithing is one of the most destructive doctrines in the church today. Not only do most forms of tithe teaching today contradict justification by faith and dishonor what Jesus accomplished on the cross, but they tend to promote a whole system or error. 

Mandatory tithing has promoted hierarchical control rather than the biblical model Jesus taught in which we are all brothers. It has promoted seeking to be served rather than servant leadership. It has exaggerated the role of the pastor and demoted other elders and ministries, even calling evangelists and missionaries "para-church." 

The tithing paradigm promoted spectator church services which hinder the church from acting as the body of Christ. It has promoted unhealthy control and holding on rather than the releasing that promotes maturity. It has redefined and suppressed biblical discipleship. It has paralyzed many of God's people. 

Tithing paradigms have promoted division and selfish ambition to the point where many think it scandelous to use biblical language and speak of one church in the city. It promotes different bodies with different heads, many at odds with each other, rather than one body with one head, Jesus Christ. 

Demanding tithes rather than trusting the Holy Spirit to lead God's people dishonors God in so many ways.

Milosz Melnyczek

God is making a new move on the earth, and that move is the understanding of how the Kingdom of God and the spiritual realm operate.

The old ways of functioning — rooted in church systems — are no longer effective, because the Kingdom of God cannot be confined within the walls of doctrines, structures, theology, or any form of human control. The Spirit of God moves beyond human patterns and speaks to the spirits of those who are willing to hear His voice and surrender to His unprecedented movements.

“The God who made the world and everything in it is the Lord of heaven and earth and does not dwell in temples made by human hands. Nor is He worshiped by human effort, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives everyone life and breath and everything else… so that they would seek the Lord, though He is not far from any one of us.”

The Secret of Iceland that Icelanders might not know

 This morning I was thinking about Bible Houses and how would they change if a clear thirdlevel message was running through them . Then I read this Uvora ad , the most well written  REVEAL AD yet because it captures something about Iceland , a culture that unselfconsciously handles the problem of the liver.

Bible Houses need to spawn Kingdom culture not by one or two features. They need to captire the whole of life Melchizedek training Jesus gave the 12 for 42 months including the complete exposure of the independent self.

Buy uvora if you want , I am not involved . But take this unconscious depiction of a culture as a metaphor for an all of life Kingdom training .

Icelanders eat lamb most days of the week, butter so yellow it looks fake, full‑fat dairy, fish, rye bread baked underground in geothermal heat, drink an unlawful‑looking caraway schnapps after dinner, and live through four months of near‑total darkness every year — and have one of the highest life expectancies on earth.

Their female CrossFit champion is Icelandic. Their oldest swimmers are still doing laps in outdoor pools at 99 in February in temperatures that would kill an American man in his fifties.

There is a real conversation in the medical literature now about what they call the Iceland diet paradox — the cleanest grading on global “world’s healthiest diet” rankings, on a list of foods that should not work in a country with that little sunlight.

Researchers have been quietly puzzled by this for years. They said it was the cod liver oil. Then the geothermal water. Then the genetics — Vikings selecting for hardiness over a thousand years. Then the universal healthcare. Then the social trust in a small country. None of it fully held up.

Icelanders who emigrated to Canada and adopted a Western diet started getting sick like Canadians within a generation. Same DNA. Different outcome. Here’s what they missed.

I have to be honest about why I went to Iceland. I am 51 years old. I am the guy who does everything you are supposed to do. Eight hours of sleep most nights, tracked on a ring. Walk ten thousand steps a day. Eat clean — leafy greens, grilled chicken, olive oil, none of the seed‑oil garbage, none of the processed stuff. I take fish oil. I take magnesium. I take vitamin D every morning of my life.

And I have been exhausted for four years. Not the kind of exhausted that a good night’s sleep fixes. The kind of exhausted that has settled into the bone. By 2 PM every workday I am rereading the same paragraph in an email three times to make it land. By 5 PM I am watching the clock. By 8 PM I am asleep on the couch with the TV on.

I wake up at 6 AM after a full eight hours of tracked sleep and I do not feel rested. I feel like I have been moving sandbags in the dark all night. My doctor has run the panel three times in two years. Thyroid normal. B12 normal. Iron normal. Cholesterol creeping the wrong direction but not “alarming.” Testosterone at the low end of normal. Nothing that explains it.

He told me in December I should “manage stress” and “consider an antidepressant.” I went to Iceland in late February to see my old college friend Bjarni instead.

Bjarni and I roomed together junior year at a school in upstate New York. He was on a year abroad. He went home after graduation and never came back. He’s an engineer at Reykjavik Energy now, the utility that runs the geothermal heating for the city. He spends his days managing the systems that keep three hundred thousand Icelanders warm through winters that turn the sun off for half the year.

We’re both 51. I hadn’t seen him in person since 2019. I landed in Keflavik at 4 PM and it was already dark. Bjarni met me at the airport with a thermos of coffee and a heavy wool sweater for me. The drive to Reykjavik was through a black‑and‑white landscape of frozen lava fields, distant volcanoes, low clouds, and an ocean too cold to look at.

The sun had never come up that day in any meaningful way. The horizon had glowed gray for about three hours and then gone out. When we got to his house and he turned on the kitchen light I saw him clearly for the first time in six years.

He looked younger than I did. Not in a vague way. In a specific way. Clear eyes. Color in his face — actual color, not the gray that I had been seeing in my own bathroom mirror for two years. The kind of standing‑up‑straight that you can’t fake. He had been working outside that day in February in Iceland and looked like he could go skiing afterward. I had been sitting on a plane and looked like I needed to lie down.

I caught my reflection in the dark window of his kitchen behind him. I looked older than him by ten years, easy. Tired in a way that had moved past my eyes and into my whole face. The kind of gray you only notice under harsh light, and Iceland has only harsh light in February. The collar of my sweater was tight in a way I had been pretending not to notice. I was 51 and I looked, in the reflection of a glass window with snow falling on the other side, like a man who had been depleted for a long time and had stopped expecting it to change.

His wife Katrín came in from the kitchen and put a plate of something hot on the table — fresh‑caught arctic char in butter, boiled potatoes, dark rye bread, a wedge of skyr — and his father‑in‑law Magnús, who had driven in from a fishing village two hours up the coast, sat down with us. Magnús was 76. He had been on a boat that morning at 5 AM in the Atlantic, in February, in the dark.

What came out of that kitchen would have made my doctor’s face do something unkind. Lamb that night. Slow‑roasted shoulder of grass‑fed Icelandic lamb that had grazed on wild thyme and crowberries and arctic moss before being slaughtered young.

Butter from grass‑fed cows so yellow it looked dyed. A bowl of skyr at the end of the meal — thick, creamy, the consistency of Greek yogurt but richer. Hangikjöt — smoked lamb sliced thin. Rye bread Katrín had baked the day before, fermented for thirty hours.

Then a small bottle came out of the freezer. Brennivín. Caraway schnapps. They call it the Black Death. Bjarni poured small glasses for the three of us, said something to Magnús in Icelandic, and we drank them ice‑cold in one swallow.

I sat there with my American jet lag and watched a 76‑year‑old fisherman eat lamb and butter and rye bread and drink Black Death at 9 PM, and then refuse coffee because he wanted to be up at 5 the next morning to go out on the boat again.

He was 25 years older than me. He had more energy than I had at any point in the last four years.

I went to bed in the guest room and lay awake until 1 AM, the way I had been doing every night for two years, with my heart beating in my ears and my mind running in circles over nothing. Magnús was up at 5 AM. I heard the front door close.

The next morning Bjarni took me to his neighborhood community pool — a sundlaug — at 6:30. It was still dark. The pool was outdoor, geothermally heated, steam rising off the surface in the cold air. Snow was falling lightly. The water was warm.

There were probably forty people in the pool. Most of them looked over sixty. Two men in their seventies were doing laps. One man, I would learn from Bjarni later, was 84. They moved through the water like they were 50. The cold air did not bother them. The dark did not bother them. They were laughing.

I stayed in the water for fifteen minutes and started to feel cold and went inside. Bjarni stayed for forty.

In the locker room afterward I caught my reflection in the long mirror over the sinks. Wet hair. Pale skin. Sagging where I had not realized it was sagging. The four‑year fatigue settled into my whole face in a way that the lights here would not let me hide.

A man in his late seventies came out of the shower behind me, smiled politely, said “góðan daginn” — good morning — and walked past me with the carriage of a man who had been done with the dark and the cold for long enough that he had stopped negotiating with them.

I had eight hours of sleep a night and 25,000 IU of vitamin D in my bloodstream and I could not match this man’s morning.

We sat afterward at a small café on Laugavegur with strong black coffee and a small piece of dark rye and butter for breakfast. The café window faced east. The sun was up — barely, a thin bronze line over the rooftops at 9:30 in the morning — and the harsh winter light came across the table in a way that made me look at my own hands.

I asked him. “Bjarni. Tell me. Magnús was on a boat at 5 AM. He’s 76. The men in the pool this morning were doing laps in the dark in February. I sleep eight hours a night and walk and eat clean and I can’t get through 2 PM. What is going on with me. What is right with you.”

He thought for a long time. He has always done that. He drinks his coffee black and he answers slowly.

“You know what I do for work.”

“You manage the heating system for the city.”

“Yes. So let me tell you something about heating systems. Iceland is a country built on furnaces. Every building. Every neighborhood. We pull hot water from the ground and we send it through pipes into radiators. That is how we survive the dark. The system is the only thing between us and freezing. We pay a lot of attention to it.”

“Okay.”

“In every furnace, there is a filter. Big or small. Industrial or residential. The filter catches everything that comes through the system before it reaches the burner. Dust. Soot. Mineral residue. Particulates from the air. If the filter is clean, the furnace burns hot and clean and efficient. The room warms up. The fuel goes a long way. If the filter is clogged — if it has been three years since anyone changed it, if dust and grime have built up to the point where air can barely pass through — the furnace runs, but it runs poorly. It burns too hot in places. It burns cold in others. It works twice as hard for half the heat. Eventually, the burner itself starts breaking down because of the strain.”

He took a sip of coffee.

“You can put the cleanest fuel in the world into a furnace with a clogged filter and it will still run badly. The fuel is not the problem.”

“Keep going.”

“In your body, the filter is the liver. Every meal you eat. Every glass of wine. Every chemical you breathe. Every supplement. Every drop of olive oil. It all has to pass through one organ that breaks it down, sorts it, sends the harmful pieces out. If the filter is clean, the body burns clean. The food turns into actual usable energy. You wake up rested. You make it to 5 PM without crashing. You walk to a meeting and back without thinking about it. 

If the filter is clogged — three decades of processed food, prescriptions, environmental load — it does not matter how clean you eat or how much you sleep. The fuel is going through a clogged filter. The body burns inefficient. You feel that as fatigue that no amount of sleep fixes. As fog that no amount of coffee clears. As the exhaustion you have been carrying for four years." 

 I sat there with my coffee in the harsh winter light and didn't say anything for a while.  I had been changing the fuel for four years.  Four years of cleaner food. Four years of better supplements. Four years of more sleep, more walks, more "managing my stress." Four years of pulling every input lever I could think of pulling.  Nobody had ever told me about the filter.

 I had a vitamin D level higher than most Icelanders. I had been sleeping eight hours a night. I had been eating cleaner than 90 percent of American men.  And I was sitting across from a 51-year-old man who eats lamb and butter and drinks Black Death and was not tired.  He was not running on better fuel. He was running on a clean filter.  "And what are Icelanders doing for the filter that we aren't?"  

He shrugged.  "Nobody calls it that here either. But look at what we do. The cod liver oil — every Icelander is given lýsi from the time they're toddlers. My grandmother gave it to me. My father still takes a spoonful every morning. Bitter. Dark. Liver-supportive. The fermented foods — the rúgbrauð fermenting for thirty hours, the pickled vegetables, the fermented shark with brennivín. Brennivín itself — bitter herbs, caraway, drunk after fatty meals for centuries. The skyr that comes after every dinner. The sundlaug — the morning soak in geothermal water that pulls heat through the body and probably moves the lymph and the blood through the liver in ways nobody has fully studied. None of this is wellness. Nobody invented it. It's just how we live in a country where you can't survive without taking care of the inside as well as the outside."  

He took another sip of coffee.  "You Americans have everything we don't. Sunlight. Mild weather. Year-round walking. Cheap fresh produce. Gyms on every block. And you are dying tired. Because the country never built a culture around the filter. It built a culture around the fuel. And the fuel was never the problem."  I sat there in the harsh light over Reykjavik in February and watched two old Icelandic men walk past the café window without coats.  What if the food had never been my problem?  What if my filter was just clogged — quietly, for years — and no amount of cleaner fuel was ever going to clear what had been building up inside?  

I came home and the first thing I did was sit down and learn what the liver does.  I had been a 51-year-old American man with creeping cholesterol and four years of unexplained fatigue, and I had never asked the basic question.  Here is what I found.  The liver is the body's main filter. Not as a metaphor. As the literal mechanical description of its function.  Every molecule of every food, drink, drop of alcohol, medication, pesticide, particle of pollution you breathe — all of it passes through the liver. The liver breaks it down. Sorts it. Neutralizes the harmful pieces. And it sends the processed waste out using a fluid the liver makes specifically for that purpose.  That fluid is called bile.  

When bile flows the way it is supposed to, the body burns clean. Food turns into actual usable energy.  Here is the part that reframed the whole picture for me.  Bile is made from cholesterol.  That is how the body naturally manages cholesterol levels. The liver pulls cholesterol out of the bloodstream, converts it into bile, and exports it through the digestive tract. Every day. Quietly. In the background.  

When the liver gets congested — when years of processed food, prescriptions, environmental chemicals slow it down — that conversion fails.  Bile production drops.  The cholesterol that was supposed to be converted and flushed stays in the bloodstream instead.  And it accumulates.  But the cholesterol piece is only half the story.

 The other half is what really hit me, because it explained the four years of fatigue.  When the filter is clogged, the body runs metabolic processes inefficiently. The energy you should be getting from your food goes into trying to clear backlog instead of into running you. You can sleep eight hours and wake up tired because the night shift was overworked. You can eat clean food and still feel slow because the conversion of that food into energy is happening through a clogged filter. You can take every supplement on the market and absorb half of what they would otherwise deliver.  That is why four years of clean eating had not moved me.  

I had been changing the fuel while the filter was getting more clogged the whole time.  And the rest of it clicked too.  The 2 PM mental fog where I'd lose my place mid-sentence in client work? When the liver can't clear waste fast enough, the waste circulates in the blood and reaches the brain. That is the fog. Not stress. Not screen time. A backlog the filter cannot move.  The exhaustion that eight hours of sleep couldn't fix? Sleep is for cleanup. The liver does its heaviest cleaning shift between 1 and 3 AM. When years of buildup have accumulated, the night shift runs heavy. The kidneys get pulled in to help. Somewhere around 3 AM the process partially wakes you. You lie there for an hour. You wake up at 6 already tired because the night was for cleaning, not for resting. 

 The bloating after meals — even the clean ones? Without enough bile, food sits in the gut longer than it should. Fermentation kicks in. Gas builds. The belly stays full all day, regardless of what you put on the plate.  The cholesterol creeping slowly upward despite four years of olive oil and walking? The clearance pathway, not the input. Same filter. 

 Four things that I had been treating as four separate problems, blaming on age, stress, screen time, modern life.  All of them coming from one filter that had been quietly clogging for years while I was busy upgrading the fuel.  So I went looking for what the actual research says about supporting the liver at the cellular level. Not detox teas. Not juice cleanses. Real peer-reviewed work on what helps the liver clear years of accumulated load.  

One compound kept appearing across the literature.  Silymarin — the active molecule in milk thistle.  Milk thistle has been documented for liver support for over two thousand years. Pliny the Elder wrote about it in 79 AD. It also grows in Northern Europe, where Icelandic traditional medicine has used it alongside the bitter herbs that go into brennivín and the country's old herbal preparations for centuries.  

Here is what silymarin actually does.  It supports the liver's own production of glutathione — the molecule the liver uses to neutralize toxins and clear backed-up load. 

 It supports the regeneration of the cells in the liver that produce bile, filter your blood, and convert cholesterol into a form the body can eliminate.  

It supports the membranes of those cells, helping them resist the ongoing damage that comes from years of alcohol, medications, and chemical exposure.  This isn't vague "wellness support." It is a specific, documented set of cellular-level effects.  I drove to the CVS the next afternoon and picked up a bottle off the shelf.  Took it for three weeks.  Felt nothing.  Went back to the research and found the part I had skipped.  

Every study showing measurable outcomes — meaningful improvements in bile production, cholesterol metabolism, actual liver cell repair — used silymarin at a concentration of 80% or higher.  That is the threshold where the compound is concentrated enough to actually penetrate liver cells and trigger the repair process.  The CVS bottle said "milk thistle extract, 300 mg." No silymarin percentage anywhere on the label.  

I checked independent testing data. Most American drugstore milk thistle clocks in around 24 to 37% silymarin.  Less than half the threshold the actual research uses.  There is a structural reason for that.  US supplement regulations effectively prevent high-concentration milk thistle from reaching the American market. 

Anything significantly above 40% silymarin starts triggering drug-level approval requirements — millions of dollars, years of regulatory process — that no supplement company will pursue.  So almost every American milk thistle product is legally locked below the threshold where the science actually works.  Which is why most of us try milk thistle, feel nothing, and quietly write it off. 

We were right that nothing happened. We just had the wrong reason for why.  New Zealand operates under a different regulatory structure. Their system permits clinical-grade supplement concentrations with strict manufacturing oversight — without the American approval barriers. 

 I found a company called Uvora operating under New Zealand standards.  80% silymarin. Third-party tested. Exact concentration listed on the label.  They also formulate with dandelion root and digestive enzymes for absorption. Silymarin is fat-soluble, and most of the dose is wasted without absorption support.  90-day money-back guarantee. Empty bottle returns accepted.  

Cheaper than the airfare to Reykjavik. Cheaper than four years of supplements that hadn't moved the fatigue.  I ordered a three-month supply.  It started with one capsule every morning, with breakfast.  Same diet. Same lifestyle. I changed nothing else.  

The first week I noticed a bit more bathroom activity than usual, and my urine ran darker.  I checked the research. Documented early response in the silymarin literature. Increased biliary output. The filter starting to clear material it had been holding onto. 

 The change I felt first wasn't in the bathroom or in the mirror. It was in the late afternoon.  Around day twelve I made it to 5 PM on a Wednesday without the wall hitting me. I noticed it because it had been so long since I had hit five o'clock with anything left in the tank that I almost didn't recognize the sensation. I sat at my desk for an extra forty-five minutes and finished a draft I had been pushing to the next day for a month.  That night I slept through. Not for the first time in years. But for the first time in years that I wasn't surprised by it the next morning.  

Week two, the 2 PM fog was gone most days. I made it through full afternoons of meetings without losing my place. Stopped rereading emails to understand them.  The collar of my shirt loosened a notch. And not because I had changed what I ate. The fuel was the same. The filter was different.  

Week three I had follow-up bloodwork done.  The numbers had moved in the right direction for the first time in four years. My doctor pulled up the prior labs alongside the new ones, looked at me, and asked what I'd changed.  I told him I had started supporting my liver.  He looked at the numbers, looked at me, and said keep going.  That was enough for me to keep going.  

Three months in, I was not on the couch at 8 PM anymore. I had gone back to reading at night for the first time in years. My wife noticed before I did. She said it without making a big deal of it. "You're back."  I am 51 and I look 51. I am not telling you I feel 30. But there is a real difference between a body whose filter has been freshly cleaned and one running on years of accumulated load that no amount of clean eating was ever going to reach.  

You feel it in everything. Sleep. Digestion. Clarity. Energy at 4 PM. The face in the mirror in the morning under harsh winter light.  

I called Bjarni a couple of months later and told him what had happened.  He laughed quietly the way he laughs. 

 "The filter." 

 "Yeah. You could've been more specific."  

"My friend, I work on furnaces. The filter was the most specific thing I knew. You had to do the rest yourself."

He was right.  Here is what I keep coming back to.  The Iceland diet paradox has been studied for years. Researchers have analyzed the cod liver oil, the omega-threes, the genetics, the geothermal water, the social trust in a small country. Almost everything Icelanders put INTO their bodies.  Almost nobody asked WHY their bodies were so much better at PROCESSING all of it through some of the harshest winters on earth.  The liver was hiding in plain sight the whole time.  

Icelanders don't have a secret diet. They eat lamb and butter and full-fat dairy and fermented shark. They drink Black Death after dinner. They live through four months of darkness every year and produce eight World's Strongest Man champions out of a population the size of one American suburb.  

What they do have is an entire culture quietly maintaining the filter that has to handle all of it. The cod liver oil from childhood. The fermented foods at every meal. The brennivín after dinner. The sundlaug at 6 AM in the dark. The clean sourcing forced by the geographic isolation. 

None of it ever called wellness. Just life on a cold rock in the North Atlantic.  We don't have any of that.  We have sunlight. We have salads. We have the gym down the street. We have the eight hours of sleep we tracked on a ring. And we are sitting on the couch at 8 PM watching Icelandic men in their seventies do laps in outdoor pools at dawn.  I didn't move to Reykjavik. I didn't take up brennivín. I didn't switch out my pantry.  I just gave the filter what it needed to do the job it was built to do.  

One capsule. Same fuel. The lights staying on later in the day for the first time in four years.  You have 90 days to see if it makes a difference. If it doesn't, every dollar comes back. Empty bottles included.  Icelanders aren't hardy in spite of the dark and the lamb and the butter. They're hardy because they never stopped maintaining the part of the body that makes living through that kind of winter possible.  Now you know what's been missing.

Widening The Prayer

 Justine Samba in Zambia and myself were praying for James who seems caught in a suicide spirit.
Kathie Walters USA felt we should address this spirit of suicide and the power of freemasonry.
But these two spirits are emblematic of the larger scale as I explain.....
