welcome to the lenny and Maria sanchez PODCAST AND VIDEO show.
The provided source, "Cuomo’s Paradox Is Not A Paradox: Everything About Modern Health Care And Medicine Is Backwards And Wrong! - Joachim Bartoll Official," offers a critical perspective on modern health care and medicine, asserting that much of it is fundamentally flawed. The author contends that the current medical system, including doctors and hospitals, often lacks understanding of human biology, physiology, and biochemistry.
A central argument within the source is that the concept labeled "Cuomo’s paradox," which describes how behaviors typically considered unhealthy—such as carrying extra weight, consuming moderate alcohol, or having elevated cholesterol—sometimes correlate with improved survival in individuals already diagnosed with cancer or heart disease, is not a paradox at all. Instead, the author explains these observations through what he considers to be common sense and a correct understanding of human physiology and biochemistry.
The article posits that humans are obligate hyper carnivores, and therefore, anything plant-based is inherently toxic. The widespread belief that humans are omnivores and can safely consume plant-based and processed foods is described as a "deception" that leads to "disease". The natural, species-appropriate human diet is presented as animal-based.
Regarding cholesterol, the source asserts that elevated cholesterol levels are essential for the body to heal damaged tissue, particularly in blood vessels affected by cardiovascular damage. Low cholesterol, especially in those with cancer or heart disease, is viewed as a detrimental sign, indicating the body lacks the necessary resources for healing. When individuals transition to an animal-based diet, a temporary increase in cholesterol levels may occur, which is interpreted as the body finally acquiring the nutrients needed to heal efficiently. The author clarifies that cholesterol itself is not the problem but rather an indicator of underlying damage. Damage to LDL by glycation, resulting from elevated blood glucose due to carbohydrate consumption, is identified as a factor contributing to plaque, rather than cholesterol being inherently harmful.
The "obesity paradox" is also re-framed in the source, suggesting that some obese individuals might possess a better nutritional status than "normal weight" people who adhere to a "toxic plant-based diet" devoid of bioavailable nutrients and essential animal fats. Furthermore, body fat is highlighted as a crucial resource during severe illness, starvation, or fasting. When broken down, saturated fats from body fat can form acetyl CoA, which the liver uses to produce life-saving cholesterol, thereby aiding the healing process. While obesity can impose a physical burden on the body, the primary issue is identified as the consumption of inappropriate foods that increase toxic load and cause damage.
The author states that healing and regaining health involve removing as many "offenders" as possible—including plant-based and processed foods, environmental pollution, mental trauma, and radiation—while simultaneously nourishing the body with animal-based foods. This healing process is understood to take considerable time, especially for those who have consumed plant-based and processed foods for many years. For individuals transitioning to an animal-based diet, a slow, gradual approach over 8 to 16 weeks is recommended to allow the stomach acid, digestive enzymes, and gut microbiome to adjust without shocking the body.
A significant critique in the source targets modern medicine's focus on suppressing symptoms with "harsh treatments" instead of addressing the underlying causes of health decline. This approach is historically linked to John Davison Rockefeller Sr., who, in the 1800s, allegedly promoted Louis Pasteur’s "faulty germ theory" to establish a profitable "medicine" industry based on oil production waste. This led to a system that labels symptoms and suppresses them with drugs, creating a cycle of dependency and further health issues due to side-effects.
The source refers to plant-based and processed foods as "slave-based foods," suggesting their historical introduction was to support population growth and, more significantly, to serve as a control mechanism. The consumption of these "inappropriate foods" is believed to damage bodies, making people weak, docile, "dumbed-down," and disease-ridden, thereby making them dependent on the "social beast system" of governments and health care.
Finally, while acknowledging the idea of individualized nutrition after diagnosis, the author emphasizes that all humans share the same basic physiology and require the same fundamental animal-based nutrition to heal and thrive. Specific organ meats can be incorporated to target particular areas of the body for healing.

1. Rejection of Modern Healthcare and Medical Science
1. Rejection of Modern Healthcare and Medical Science
Bartoll asserts that modern healthcare and medicine are "inverted and totally wrong," and that doctors are "completely clueless about human biology, physiology and biochemistry." He advises against visiting doctors or hospitals unless surgical intervention for an accident is required.
Quote: "The following article, published by Medical X Press, is a perfect example of how even when modern health care is trying to apply logic and what they call “common sense,” it’s still inverted and totally wrong. And even more so, it’s a perfect example of why you should never visit a doctor or a hospital unless you’ve been in an accident and need surgical help. They are completely clueless about human biology, physiology and biochemistry."
2. "Cuomo's Paradox" is Not a Paradox
2. "Cuomo's Paradox" is Not a Paradox
The author dismisses "Cuomo's Paradox"—the observation that behaviors typically considered unhealthy (e.g., carrying extra weight, moderate alcohol, elevated cholesterol) sometimes correlate with better survival in people with cancer or heart disease—as easily explainable through "logic and common sense." He attributes the term "paradox" to the "extreme incompetence and ignorance" within modern healthcare.
3. Humans as "Obligate Hyper Carnivores"
3. Humans as "Obligate Hyper Carnivores"
A central tenet of Bartoll's philosophy is that humans are "obligate hyper carnivores," meaning their natural diet is exclusively animal-based. He claims that "anything plant-based is inherently toxic" and that the "deception" that humans are omnivores and can tolerate plant-based and processed foods is the cause of "disease."
Quote: "Most of the time it will not, especially when it comes to nutrition and retarded remedies as humans are obligate hyper carnivores and anything plant-based is inherently toxic while most people have been deceived by the establishment that we are omnivores. This deception is what causes “disease,” the lie that humans can tolerate and eat plant-based and processed foods without harm."
4. Cholesterol as a Healing Mechanism
4. Cholesterol as a Healing Mechanism
Bartoll directly contradicts conventional medical advice regarding cholesterol. He argues that elevated cholesterol is the body's natural response to heal damaged tissue, particularly blood vessels. Low cholesterol in the presence of disease is, according to him, "extremely bad as it indicates that your body does not have the resources to heal."
Quote: "Elevated cholesterol means that you have damage that the body is trying to heal. If you have damage, which every single human has to some degree, and your cholesterol is low, that is extremely bad as it indicates that your body does not have the resources to heal."
Quote: "Again, if it’s elevated it’s because you are healing. And this is why cholesterol often goes up in people who add in more animal-based foods, because they finally have all the nutrients needed for their bodies to heal at maximum capacity!"
He claims LDL can be damaged by glycation from elevated blood glucose (from carbohydrates), leading to plaque, but emphasizes this is "not the fault of cholesterol, but that of a very unnatural diet that we are not constructed for."
5. Symptoms as Indicators, Not the Problem
5. Symptoms as Indicators, Not the Problem
The author views "diagnosis" as based on symptoms, and modern medicine as focused on "suppressing these symptoms instead of focusing on the underlying problem that is the cause of the symptoms." True healing, he contends, involves removing "offenders" (malnutrition, toxins, environmental pollution, mental trauma, radiation) and nourishing the body with an animal-based diet.
Quote: "No, as a “diagnosis” is based on symptoms and modern medicine is all about suppressing these symptoms instead of focusing on the underlying problem that is the cause of the symptoms."
6. Critique of Weight Loss and Alcohol Advice
6. Critique of Weight Loss and Alcohol Advice
Bartoll critiques common health advice:
Weight Loss: He states that simply eating less leads to nutrient deficiencies, hindering healing. Proper weight loss involves "eating as much animal-based foods as you can 4-5 days a week and then fasting during the remaining 2-3 days."
Alcohol: While acknowledging alcohol as a "very potent poison," he suggests that for addicted individuals, cessation should be gradual to avoid extreme withdrawal symptoms that stress the body.
7. The "Obesity Paradox" Explained by Nutritional Status
7. The "Obesity Paradox" Explained by Nutritional Status
The "obesity paradox" (heavier patients sometimes surviving longer once ill) is explained by Bartoll through nutritional status. He argues that some obese individuals who consume "somewhat balanced diet with some meat and animal fats" may have better nutritional status than "normal weight" people on "toxic plant-based diet," making them more resilient. Body fat itself is also seen as a reserve of energy that can be broken down to produce "life-saving cholesterol" during illness or starvation.
Quote: "So, of course, even if you’re obese, you will have better odds at recovery if you have a better nutritional status than someone at normal weight that is malnourished."
Quote: "So, if you have some extra body fat when really ill and you have trouble eating enough, that body fat can still make sure that your body can produce cholesterol and heal."
8. Historical Deception and Control
8. Historical Deception and Control
Bartoll attributes the perceived failures of modern medicine to a historical hijacking by John Davison Rockefeller Sr. in the 1800s. He claims Rockefeller promoted "Pasteur’s faulty germ theory" and founded the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research to sell "medicine" derived from oil production waste. This, according to Bartoll, shifted medicine from addressing causes to suppressing symptoms with drugs, creating a profitable, cyclical business model.
Quote: "The problem here is that the so-called “health care” and “medical science” was hijacked by John Davison Rockefeller in the 1800’s with him supporting Pasteur’s faulty germ theory as he saw an enormous potential in that lie and making money from it."
Quote: "Society went from trying to treat and remove the causing offender of “disease” to simply labeling symptoms and trying to suppress them with drugs. It was the perfect business model as people thought they temporarily got better, but since the underlying problem still remained, they had to come back for more, not to mention the side-effects from the drugs that had to be suppressed by other drugs."
He further links this to the "historical introduction of slave-based foods, as in plant-based and processed foods to support population growth, but mostly as a control tool." This, he argues, leads to a weakened, diseased, and dependent population, controlled by "evil food industry and the evil pharmaceutical industry" both managed by the "same elitists."

The "Joachim Bartoll Official" website presents a radical critique of modern healthcare and nutrition, arguing that contemporary medical practices are fundamentally misguided and harmful. The author challenges concepts like the "Cuomo's paradox," which suggests that behaviors considered unhealthy may sometimes correlate with better survival in already ill individuals, by asserting that such observations are not paradoxical but rather evidence of medical incompetence and a flawed understanding of human biology. Bartoll advocates for a species-appropriate, animal-based diet as the sole path to health and healing, dismissing plant-based foods and processed items as toxic. He contends that the medical and pharmaceutical industries, influenced by figures like John D. Rockefeller, intentionally perpetuate "germ theory" lies and symptom suppression to maintain a profitable system at the expense of genuine health
Discuss Nutrition Science.
According to Joachim Bartoll, the author of the provided article, "Nutrition Science is Nutrition Ideology"1. He asserts that everything about modern health care and medicine, including its approach to nutrition, is "backwards and wrong"23.
Bartoll's critique of "Nutrition Science" stems from several core beliefs:
• Misunderstanding of Human Biology Modern health care and doctors are considered "completely clueless about human biology, physiology and biochemistry"3. The establishment has "deceived" people into believing humans are omnivores, whereas Bartoll states that humans are obligate hyper carnivores45. This fundamental deception, in his view, is the cause of "disease," as it leads people to consume plant-based and processed foods which are "inherently toxic"46.
• Inverted Logic and "Paradoxes" Bartoll argues that concepts like "Cuomo's paradox," which notes how behaviors considered unhealthy (like carrying extra weight, drinking moderate alcohol, or having elevated cholesterol) sometimes correlate with better survival in ill patients, are not paradoxes at all4.... He explains that what is deemed "eating unhealthy" can often be healthier than what is considered "eating healthy," particularly regarding "life-saving animal fats"7. He criticizes modern medicine for not understanding the underlying physiological reasons for such observations3....
• The Role of Cholesterol A significant point of contention with conventional nutrition science is cholesterol. Bartoll explains that cholesterol is what the body uses to heal damaged tissue, especially blood vessels. Therefore, elevated cholesterol indicates the body is actively trying to heal damage. Conversely, low cholesterol is "extremely bad" as it suggests the body lacks the resources to heal11.... He dismisses the idea of reducing cholesterol as "the stupidest thing you could ever do"12. He argues that the vilification of cholesterol is due to its damage by glycation from elevated blood glucose caused by carbohydrate consumption, which is part of an "unnatural diet"14.
• Misguided Prevention vs. Healing Bartoll rejects the idea that nutrition should be "stage-specific medicine" as proposed by Cuomo, especially when it leads to "retarded 'harsh treatments'" that suppress symptoms rather than address the underlying problem815. He asserts that the same "behavior that prevents disease"—adhering to our species-appropriate, animal-based diet—is also the behavior that "supports survival once serious illness arrives"16.
• The "Obesity Paradox" Explained He deconstructs the "obesity paradox" by stating that many obese individuals who still consume some "real more 'balanced' meals" (including meat and animal fats) may have better nutritional status than "normal weight" people following a "toxic plant-based diet" devoid of bioavailable nutrients9. He also notes that body fat, composed of triglycerides, can be broken down for energy during illness, with saturated fats forming acetyl CoA to produce "life-saving cholesterol"17. Obesity itself is harmful due to the inappropriate foods causing fat gain, not the fat itself, which places a burden on the body18.
• Historical Corruption of Medicine and Nutrition Bartoll attributes the current state of "health care" and "medical science" to a "hijack" by John Davison Rockefeller in the 1800s. Rockefeller allegedly promoted "Pasteur’s faulty germ theory" to profit from selling "medicine" made from oil production waste through the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (RIMR)19. This, he claims, shifted focus from treating causes to suppressing symptoms with drugs, creating a profitable cycle of dependency19. He also links the "evil food industry and the evil pharmaceutical industry" to "elitists" who promote "slave-based foods" (plant-based and processed) to weaken and control populations20.
Bartoll's Recommended Approach to Nutrition and Healing:
• Species-Appropriate Diet: The only way to heal and regain health is to follow our "species-appropriate, species-specific natural human diet" of animal-based foods1.... This includes animal fats, animal proteins, and all animal-based vitamins and minerals5.
• Avoid Toxins: This natural diet involves avoiding "anything plant-based and/or processed and any kind of artificial products with chemicals"621.
• Nourishment and Healing: Healing requires removing "offenders" such as malnourishment (not enough animal-based foods), toxins (from wrong plant-based and processed diets), environmental pollution, mental trauma, and radiation, while nourishing the body6.
• Weight Loss and Fasting: Losing weight correctly means eating abundant animal-based foods 4-5 days a week and then fasting during the remaining 2-3 days, to ensure nutrient intake while reducing weight22.
• Gradual Transition: For unhealthy individuals, transitioning to an animal-based diet should be done slowly over 8 to 16 weeks to allow the body to adjust stomach acid, digestive enzymes, and the gut microbiome without shock21.
• Personalization within the Species-Specific Framework: While all humans need the same fundamental animal-based nutrition, specific organ meats can be added depending on the body area targeted for healing, acknowledging individual "toxic load and the damage we have accumulated"521.
In summary, Bartoll fundamentally rejects "Nutrition Science" as it is currently understood, labeling it "ideology" based on flawed premises (like the omnivore diet and germ theory) and influenced by profit-driven industries. He advocates for a return to a "common sense" understanding of human physiology and a strict animal-based diet as the foundation for preventing disease and achieving healing1....

Discuss Modern Medicine Critiqued.
Modern medicine and healthcare are extensively critiqued in the sources, with the author, Joachim Bartoll, asserting that "Everything About Modern Health Care And Medicine Is Backwards And Wrong!"1. He views modern health care as "inverted and totally wrong" even when attempting to apply logic2.
Key criticisms and the author's alternative perspectives include:
• Incompetence and Ignorance of Doctors: The author states that modern doctors and hospitals are "completely clueless about human biology, physiology and biochemistry," advising against visiting them unless for surgical emergencies23. He suggests that many doctors are "gullible indoctrinated" individuals3.
• Focus on Symptoms over Underlying Causes: Modern medicine is criticized for "suppressing symptoms instead of focusing on the underlying problem that is the cause of the symptoms"4. A "diagnosis" is seen as merely based on symptoms, and "harsh treatments" are not aimed at the root cause of declining health4.
• Flawed Dietary Advice:
◦ Omnivore Deception: The medical establishment is accused of deceiving people into believing humans are omnivores, whereas the author contends humans are "obligate hyper carnivores" and anything plant-based is "inherently toxic"5. This "deception" is the cause of "disease"5.
◦ Animal Fats and Processed Foods: What is considered "eating unhealthy" (e.g., life-saving animal fats) is sometimes more healthy than what is deemed "eating healthy"6. Conversely, plant-based and processed foods are identified as major sources of toxins and damage to the body7.
◦ "Losing Weight" Advice: The common advice to lose weight is critiqued as detrimental if done incorrectly by simply eating less, which leads to further nutrient deficiencies8. The author proposes weight loss through consuming abundant animal-based foods 4-5 days a week and fasting on the remaining days8.
• Misunderstanding of Cholesterol:
◦ Cholesterol as a Healing Agent: The author argues that cholesterol is what the body uses to heal damaged tissue, especially blood vessels9. Elevated cholesterol levels are an indicator that the body is actively trying to heal damage, not the problem itself9....
◦ Dangers of Low Cholesterol: Conversely, low cholesterol is considered "extremely bad" as it suggests the body lacks the resources to heal912. Aggressively reducing cholesterol is deemed "the stupidest thing you could ever do"13.
◦ LDL and Carbohydrates: The author explains that LDL, which carries cholesterol to damaged tissue, can be damaged by glycation from elevated blood glucose, particularly when carbohydrates are consumed14. This, along with seed/vegetable oils, can contribute to plaque, but the fault lies with the "unnatural diet" (carbohydrates), not cholesterol14.
• Cuomo's Paradox: The author explicitly states that "Cuomo’s Paradox Is Not A Paradox"1. The paradox describes how behaviors typically considered unhealthy (e.g., carrying extra weight, having elevated cholesterol) sometimes correlate with better survival in people with cancer or heart disease6. The author explains this not as a paradox but as a logical outcome:
◦ Obesity Paradox: Not every obese person is severely malnourished; some may consume "somewhat balanced diet with some meat and animal fats," giving them a better nutritional status than "normal weight" individuals following a "toxic plant-based diet"15. Furthermore, body fat can be broken down during illness or fasting to produce energy and life-saving cholesterol, providing resources for healing16.
◦ Cholesterol Levels: High cholesterol in ill patients simply signifies the body's attempt to heal severe damage, and those with this capacity will "last longer" than those with low cholesterol who cannot heal910.
◦ Unified Framework for Stage-Specific Nutrition: The author rejects Cuomo's idea of "stage-specific nutrition" that differentiates advice before and after diagnosis3.... Instead, he asserts that the same "species-appropriate, species-specific natural human diet" that prevents disease also supports survival during serious illness18. The only difference in "personalized nutrition" is focusing on specific nutrients or organ meats for particular areas of damage, always within an animal-based framework1719.
• Historical Corruption of Medicine: The author attributes the foundational flaws in modern medicine to John Davison Rockefeller Sr., who allegedly "hijacked" health care and medical science in the 1800s20. Rockefeller is accused of supporting Louis Pasteur's "faulty germ theory" to profit by selling oil production waste as "medicine"20. This led to the establishment of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (RIMR) in 1901, shifting societal focus from treating the cause of "disease" to merely labeling symptoms and suppressing them with drugs, creating a profitable industry based on dependency20.
• Food and Pharmaceutical Industry Control: The "evil food industry and the evil pharmaceutical industry are both controlled by the same elitists," who use "slave-based foods" (plant-based and processed foods) to weaken, control, and make populations dependent on "the social beast system" of governments and "health care"21.
• Author's Background and Alternative Healing: Joachim Bartoll himself spent "17 years of wasted studies in Western ‘Modern’ Medicine and Pharmacology" before healing his own cancer, failing organs, asthma, and allergies in 2018 through "Biology, Microbiology, Biochemistry, The Terrain Theory, and German New Medicine" alongside an animal-based diet22. He now offers coaching and consultation for transitioning to an animal-based diet and addressing health problems2324.
In summary, the author fundamentally rejects the paradigms of modern medicine, deeming them "nonsense" based on a "false narrative" and a "faulty germ-theory-based and omnivore-based illusion" of the human body23. He advocates for a return to understanding human biology as "obligate hyper carnivores" and adopting an animal-based diet as the universal solution for preventing and healing disease5....

Discuss Species-Appropriate Diet.
The concept of a species-appropriate diet is central to the author Joachim Bartoll's philosophy on health and healing, who identifies himself as an animal-based nutritionist1. This diet is considered the natural, species-specific human diet, essential for both preventing disease and supporting survival during serious illness23.
Key aspects of the species-appropriate diet include:
• Humans as Obligate Hyper Carnivores: The author asserts that humans are obligate hyper carnivores, meaning their biology and physiology are adapted to consume primarily animal products45. The widely held belief that humans are omnivores is described as a "deception" by the establishment, leading to "disease" through the consumption of plant-based and processed foods46.
• Essential Nutrients from Animal Sources: To heal and thrive, humans require animal fats, animal proteins, and all the animal-based vitamins, minerals, and other co-factors5. Animal fats are highlighted as "life-saving"7. A "balanced animal-based diet" serves anyone seeking to heal and recover, with specific organ meats recommended for targeting particular areas of the body that need healing8.
• Critique of Plant-Based and Processed Foods:
◦ Toxicity: Plant-based foods are considered inherently toxic to humans49. Similarly, processed foods and any artificial products containing chemicals are deemed harmful9.
◦ Malnutrition and Damage: These "inappropriate foods" lead to malnutrition, an increased toxic load, and damage to the body9.... They are described as "totally void of any bioavailable nutrients and especially the life-saving animal fats"10.
◦ Carbohydrates: Consuming carbohydrates is linked to glycation, which can damage LDL (low-density lipoprotein) in the presence of elevated blood glucose, contributing to plaque formation12. This is presented as evidence of a "very unnatural diet that we are not constructed for"12.
◦ Societal Control: The historical introduction of "slave-based foods," referring to plant-based and processed foods, is attributed to supporting population growth and serving as a control tool, making people weak, docile, "dumbed-down," and dependent on the "social beast system" and "health care"13.
• Role in Healing and Health Management:
◦ Healing Mechanism: The body can only take damage from being malnourished and exposed to toxins (primarily from plant-based and processed diets), environmental pollution, mental trauma, and radiation9. The only way to get better, heal, and regain health is to remove these offenders and nourish the body with animal-based foods9.
◦ Cholesterol as an Indicator: Elevated cholesterol is not a problem but rather the body's mechanism to heal damaged tissue, especially blood vessels1415. It signifies that the body has the resources to attempt healing14. Conversely, low cholesterol is considered "extremely bad" as it indicates a lack of resources for healing and can signal underlying problems like inflammation, malnutrition, and liver dysfunction1416. When individuals switch to an animal-based diet, their cholesterol levels may rise as their bodies finally receive the necessary nutrients to heal at maximum capacity1718.
◦ Body Fat and Recovery: Having extra body fat, primarily composed of triglycerides, can be beneficial during illness or fasting. When broken down, saturated fats form acetyl CoA, which the liver can use to produce life-saving cholesterol, thus aiding the healing process19.
• Transitioning to the Diet: For individuals who are unhealthy, a slow transition to an animal-based diet over 8 to 16 weeks is advised8. This involves gradually increasing animal-based foods while phasing out all toxic plant-based and processed foods. This gradual approach helps to heal and adjust stomach acid, digestive enzymes, and the gut microbiome without shocking the body8.
• Rejection of Modern Medicine's Approach: The author criticizes modern health care for being "inverted and totally wrong," particularly concerning nutrition, and for being "clueless about human biology, physiology and biochemistry"2021. Modern medicine is accused of focusing on suppressing symptoms rather than addressing the underlying causes of illness22. The current medical establishment is traced back to John Davison Rockefeller Sr., who allegedly hijacked medical science in the 1800s, promoting the "faulty germ theory" and using pharmaceuticals (derived from oil production waste) instead of focusing on root causes23.
Joachim Bartoll offers coaching and consultation services focused on animal-based (carnivore) educational coaching, fat loss, health, and nutrition24. He also states that his own health problems, including cancer, failing organs, asthma, and allergies, were healed after he started studying and applying biology, microbiology, biochemistry, terrain theory, and German New Medicine, becoming an animal-based nutritionist in 20181.

Discuss Healing and Recovery.
According to Joachim Bartoll, healing and recovery are intrinsically linked to understanding true human biology and adopting a species-appropriate, species-specific natural diet1.... He strongly criticizes modern healthcare and medicine for being "backwards and wrong" in their approach to healing, often focusing on symptom suppression rather than addressing underlying causes4....
Here are the key aspects of healing and recovery according to Bartoll:
• Causes of "Disease" and Damage: Bartoll asserts that "disease" is primarily caused by a deception propagated by the establishment, which claims humans are omnivores1. He believes humans are obligate hyper carnivores, and therefore, consuming plant-based and processed foods is "inherently toxic," leading to malnutrition, toxins, environmental pollution, mental trauma, and radiation, all of which damage the body1.... This accumulation of toxins and damage results in symptoms and what modern medicine labels as "disease"6.
• The Path to Healing and Recovery:
◦ Removing Offenders and Nourishing the Body: The only way to heal and regain health is to remove as many "offenders" (toxins, inappropriate foods) as possible while nourishing the body2. This means avoiding anything plant-based and/or processed, and any artificial products with chemicals2.
◦ Species-Appropriate Diet: Bartoll advocates for an animal-based diet as the natural human diet, consisting of animal fats, animal proteins, and all animal-based vitamins and minerals and other co-factors38. This diet provides the necessary nutrients for the body to heal at maximum capacity9.
◦ Transitioning to an Animal-Based Diet: If a person is unhealthy, Bartoll suggests a slow transition to an animal-based diet over 8 to 16 weeks. This involves gradually increasing animal-based foods while phasing out toxic plant-based and processed foods, which helps the body adjust its stomach acid, digestive enzymes, and gut microbiome without shock10.
◦ Targeted Nutrition: While all humans require the same basic animal-based nutrition, Bartoll notes that specific organ meats can be added to focus on healing particular areas of the body, depending on the accumulated damage810.
• The Critical Role of Cholesterol in Healing:
◦ Bartoll explains that cholesterol is what the body uses to heal damaged tissue, especially blood vessels in cases of cardiovascular damage11. Therefore, elevated cholesterol indicates that the body is actively trying to heal existing damage9....
◦ He considers low cholesterol to be "extremely bad" because it signifies that the body lacks the necessary resources to heal11. Reducing cholesterol is labeled "the stupidest thing you could ever do" as it interferes with the body's natural healing process9.
◦ The vilification of cholesterol is attributed to its damage by glycation from elevated blood glucose, which is caused by carbohydrate consumption—part of an "unnatural diet"13.
• Healing Takes Time: Bartoll emphasizes that healing is not an immediate process. If a person has consumed plant-based and processed foods for many years, recovery can take a significant amount of time, potentially years, for cholesterol levels to normalize as the body fully heals14.
• Rejection of "Stage-Specific Medicine": Bartoll dismisses the concept of "stage-specific medicine," such as Cuomo's paradox, which suggests different nutritional advice for prevention versus treatment515. He argues that this approach is flawed because it still originates from a false narrative about human biology and germ theory16. Instead, the behavior that prevents disease (following the species-appropriate diet) is the same behavior that supports survival and healing once serious illness arises3.
• Critique of Conventional Advice for Recovery: Bartoll refutes common medical advice often given to ill patients:
◦ Losing Weight: Simply eating less leads to nutrient deficiencies, hindering healing. He suggests losing weight through eating animal-based foods 4-5 days a week and fasting 2-3 days17.
◦ Eliminating Alcohol: For addicted individuals, this should be done slowly to avoid withdrawal symptoms that stress the body9.
◦ Slashing Cholesterol Levels: This is detrimental as high cholesterol is a sign of healing9.
• Historical Context: Bartoll attributes the current misguided approach to health and healing to a historical hijacking of "medical science" by John D. Rockefeller in the 1800s18. Rockefeller allegedly promoted Pasteur's germ theory and founded the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research to sell petroleum waste as "medicine," thus shifting focus from treating root causes to suppressing symptoms with drugs18. This, combined with the introduction of "slave-based foods" (plant-based and processed foods), has weakened and "dumbed-down" populations, making them dependent on the "social beast system"19.

Discuss Rockefeller's Influence.
According to Joachim Bartoll, John Davison Rockefeller Sr. played a pivotal and detrimental role in shaping modern healthcare and medical science12. Bartoll asserts that Rockefeller's influence led to a fundamental corruption of these fields, shifting them away from genuine healing and into a profit-driven industry2.
Bartoll's claims regarding Rockefeller's influence include:
• Hijacking of Medical Science: Bartoll states that "health care" and "medical science" were "hijacked by John Davison Rockefeller in the 1800’s"2.
• Promotion of Germ Theory: Rockefeller is said to have supported "Pasteur’s faulty germ theory" because he recognized its potential to generate "enormous" profits2.
• Founding of Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (RIMR): In 1901, he founded the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (RIMR)12. The alleged purpose of RIMR was to "sell all the waste from oil production in the form of 'medicine'"2.
• Suppression of Alternative Practices: Bartoll claims that Rockefeller "used his wealth and influence to shut down anyone who did not practice 'medicine' as taught by his medical license"2. This action, he argues, prevented a return to "logic and common sense" in medicine2.
• Shift from Root Cause Treatment to Symptom Suppression: As a result of Rockefeller's actions, society allegedly moved "from trying to treat and remove the causing offender of 'disease' to simply labeling symptoms and trying to suppress them with drugs"2.
• Creation of a Profitable Business Model: This shift created a "perfect business model," where patients, experiencing temporary relief but no true healing, would repeatedly return for more drugs, including those to address side-effects2. Bartoll describes Rockefeller as an "evil genius who created the largest industry in the world, and all based on lies and deceit"2.
• Connection to "Evil" Industries: This historical influence is linked to the control of both the "evil food industry and the evil pharmaceutical industry" by the "same elitists," which Bartoll suggests keeps most of the population "in an iron-clad grip" through inappropriate foods and dependency on "health care"3.
In summary, Bartoll portrays Rockefeller as the architect of a medical system designed for profit through symptom management rather than genuine health, which he believes continues to misguide modern health practices, including nutrition23.

1. What is "Cuomo's Paradox" and why does the author believe it's not a true paradox?
1. What is "Cuomo's Paradox" and why does the author believe it's not a true paradox?
"Cuomo's Paradox" refers to the observation that behaviors generally considered unhealthy, such as carrying extra weight, moderate alcohol consumption, or elevated cholesterol, sometimes correlate with better survival rates in people already diagnosed with cancer or heart disease. The author, Joachim Bartoll, argues it's not a true paradox because he believes modern medicine misunderstands human biology, physiology, and biochemistry. He asserts that what is deemed "unhealthy" by the medical establishment (e.g., animal fats) is often essential for healing, and what is considered "healthy" (e.g., plant-based foods) is actually toxic. Therefore, he claims the "paradox" is merely a result of flawed medical understanding and a misinterpretation of the body's natural healing processes.
2. How does the author explain the supposed benefits of elevated cholesterol in ill patients?
2. How does the author explain the supposed benefits of elevated cholesterol in ill patients?
The author explains that elevated cholesterol is the body's natural response to heal damaged tissue, particularly in cases of cardiovascular damage. He states that if someone with cancer or heart disease has high cholesterol, it indicates their body has the resources to attempt healing, which would lead to a longer survival compared to someone with low cholesterol who lacks these vital healing resources. He further argues that trying to reduce cholesterol is detrimental because the body regulates cholesterol based on its needs for repair, and high levels signify an active healing process, especially when consuming animal-based foods that provide necessary nutrients for this process.
3. What is the author's stance on modern "health care" and doctors?
3. What is the author's stance on modern "health care" and doctors?
The author holds a highly critical view of modern "health care" and doctors, describing them as "completely clueless about human biology, physiology and biochemistry." He advises against visiting doctors or hospitals unless surgical intervention for an accident is required. He believes modern medicine focuses on suppressing symptoms rather than addressing the root causes of illness, and that its "harsh treatments" are not aimed at true healing. He attributes this flawed system to John D. Rockefeller's influence in the 1800s, claiming Rockefeller promoted Pasteur's "faulty germ theory" and founded the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research to profit from selling "medicine" derived from oil production waste, thereby suppressing logical and common-sense approaches to health.
4. What does the author propose as the "species-appropriate, species-specific natural human diet" and why?
4. What does the author propose as the "species-appropriate, species-specific natural human diet" and why?
The author proposes that humans are "obligate hyper carnivores" and that their "species-appropriate, species-specific natural human diet" consists solely of animal-based foods, including animal fats and proteins, along with animal-based vitamins and minerals. He asserts that "anything plant-based is inherently toxic" and that the "deception" that humans are omnivores and can tolerate plant-based and processed foods is what causes "disease." This diet, he argues, is the only way to heal, regain health, and prevent disease by providing essential nutrients while avoiding toxic plant-based and artificial products.
5. How does the author explain the "obesity paradox" where heavier patients sometimes survive longer?
5. How does the author explain the "obesity paradox" where heavier patients sometimes survive longer?
The author dismisses the "obesity paradox" as another non-paradoxical observation. He suggests that not all obese individuals exclusively consume unhealthy foods. He posits that some obese people, who still include "somewhat balanced" meals with meat and animal fats in their diet, may have a better nutritional status than "normal weight" individuals who follow a "toxic plant-based diet" devoid of bioavailable nutrients. Furthermore, he explains that body fat, composed of triglycerides, can be broken down during illness or fasting to provide energy and produce life-saving cholesterol, thus offering a survival advantage to those with extra reserves when they struggle to eat.
6. What is the author's perspective on the role of carbohydrates in health and disease?
6. What is the author's perspective on the role of carbohydrates in health and disease?
The author views carbohydrates as detrimental to human health. He explains that LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol can be damaged by glycation when blood glucose levels are elevated due to carbohydrate consumption. This damaged LDL, he states, can then contribute to plaque formation, similar to seed/vegetable oils. He clarifies that this is not the fault of cholesterol itself, but rather the consequence of an "unnatural diet that we are not constructed for," referring to a diet high in carbohydrates. He asserts that a reduction in carbohydrates is crucial for preventing damage and supporting the body's healing processes.
7. What historical event does the author claim fundamentally altered modern medicine and led to its current state?
7. What historical event does the author claim fundamentally altered modern medicine and led to its current state?
The author claims that modern "health care" and "medical science" were "hijacked by John Davison Rockefeller in the 1800’s." He alleges that Rockefeller supported Louis Pasteur's "faulty germ theory" due to its potential for financial gain. By founding the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (RIMR) in 1901, Rockefeller allegedly created a system to sell waste products from oil production as "medicine." The author believes this led to a shift away from addressing the root causes of disease to merely labeling symptoms and suppressing them with drugs, creating a "perfect business model" where people become dependent on continuous treatment and additional drugs for side effects.
8. What is the author's view on "prevention guidelines" and individualized nutrition in the context of serious illness?
8. What is the author's view on "prevention guidelines" and individualized nutrition in the context of serious illness?
The author agrees to a degree with individualized nutrition after diagnosis, but only within the framework of humans being "obligate hyper carnivores." He believes that while toxic load and accumulated damage vary, all humans require the same foundational animal-based nutrition to heal and thrive. He argues that the "behavior that prevents disease" (i.e., consuming an animal-based diet) is also the same behavior that "supports survival once serious illness arrives." He dismisses the idea that "prevention targets" like weight loss or cholesterol reduction are beneficial for frail patients, asserting they can be detrimental by causing further nutrient deficiencies or hindering the body's natural healing mechanisms.

I. Core Argument and Critique of Cuomo's Paradox
I. Core Argument and Critique of Cuomo's Paradox
Bartoll's Central Thesis: Modern healthcare and medicine, including the concept of "Cuomo's Paradox," are fundamentally flawed, inverted, and based on incorrect understandings of human biology, physiology, and biochemistry. He argues that most health advice is backwards and detrimental, especially concerning nutrition and disease treatment.
Rejection of Cuomo's Paradox: Bartoll contends that "Cuomo's paradox" is not a true paradox but rather a logical outcome explainable by proper understanding of human biology and the body's natural healing processes. He attributes the "paradoxical" findings to the medical establishment's ignorance and reliance on flawed paradigms.
Critique of Modern Medical Advice: He specifically targets advice related to weight loss, alcohol elimination, and cholesterol reduction, especially for those already ill, arguing these often exacerbate existing problems by further depleting nutrients or hindering natural healing.
II. Key Concepts and Bartoll's Alternative Perspective
II. Key Concepts and Bartoll's Alternative Perspective
Humans as Obligate Hyper Carnivores: This is a foundational concept. Bartoll asserts that humans are biologically designed to consume an animal-based diet, and that anything plant-based is inherently toxic and a primary cause of disease.
The Role of Animal Fats and Cholesterol:Animal fats are presented as life-saving and essential, containing all necessary bioactive vitamins.
Cholesterol is crucial for healing damaged tissue, particularly blood vessels. Elevated cholesterol is seen as an indicator of healing, not a cause of disease. Low cholesterol in ill individuals is considered detrimental, signifying a lack of healing resources.
Causes of Disease (According to Bartoll): Disease is primarily attributed to:
Malnutrition (lack of animal-based foods).
Toxins (from plant-based and processed foods, environmental pollution).
Mental trauma.
Radiation.
Healing and Recovery: The only way to heal and regain health is to:
Remove offenders (toxic plant-based/processed foods, artificial chemicals).
Nourish the body with species-appropriate animal-based foods.
Healing is a long-term process, especially after years of an inappropriate diet.
Weight Loss and Fasting: Losing weight correctly means eating abundant animal-based foods for 4-5 days a week and fasting for 2-3 days, ensuring nutrient sufficiency. Simple calorie restriction leads to nutrient deficiencies.
The "Obesity Paradox" Explained: Bartoll argues that some obese individuals may have a better nutritional status than "normal weight" individuals on a toxic plant-based diet, due to consuming some animal-based foods. Additionally, body fat stores (triglycerides, especially saturated fats) can be broken down for energy and cholesterol production during illness or fasting, aiding healing.
Critique of Germ Theory and Rockefeller's Influence:Bartoll claims that "medical science" was "hijacked" by John D. Rockefeller in the 1800s.
Rockefeller supported Louis Pasteur's "faulty germ theory" to profit from "medicine" derived from oil production waste.
This led to a system focused on suppressing symptoms with drugs rather than addressing underlying causes.
The "slave-based foods" (plant-based and processed foods) are also implicated as a control tool to weaken and sicken the population, making them dependent on the "social beast system."
III. Practical Applications and Recommendations
III. Practical Applications and Recommendations
Personalized Nutrition (Bartoll's Version): While acknowledging a degree of individualization due to toxic load and accumulated damage, Bartoll stresses that all humans require the same fundamental animal-based nutrition to thrive. Personalization involves focusing on specific organ meats depending on the area needing healing.
Transitioning to an Animal-Based Diet: For unhealthy individuals, a slow transition (8-16 weeks) is recommended, gradually increasing animal foods while phasing out toxic plant-based and processed foods, to allow the digestive system to adjust.
Avoidance: Strict avoidance of plant-based foods, processed foods, artificial products, chemicals, and alcohol is advised.
IV. Bartoll's Credentials and Disclaimer
IV. Bartoll's Credentials and Disclaimer
Background: Founder of health/fitness communities, editor, writer, author, elite trainer/coach, nutritionist. He spent 17 years studying Western "Modern" Medicine and Pharmacology before becoming an animal-based nutritionist.

Quiz Answer Key
Quiz Answer Key
Bartoll fundamentally criticizes modern healthcare and medicine for being "inverted and totally wrong," based on a flawed understanding of human biology and physiology. He argues that "Cuomo's Paradox" is not a paradox at all, but a logical outcome explainable by the body's natural healing mechanisms, which modern medicine fails to grasp.
Bartoll explains that elevated cholesterol in an ill person indicates that the body is actively trying to heal damaged tissue. Cholesterol is a vital resource for repair, especially of blood vessels, so high levels signify the body's capacity and effort to mend itself, rather than being a problem in itself.
Bartoll explains the "obesity paradox" by suggesting that some obese individuals may have a better nutritional status than "normal weight" people following a toxic plant-based diet. Additionally, body fat stores, rich in saturated fats, can be broken down during illness or fasting to produce energy and life-saving cholesterol, aiding recovery.
Bartoll asserts that the primary "species-appropriate" diet for humans is an "obligate hyper carnivore" (animal-based) diet. He views anything plant-based as inherently toxic and a significant contributor to harm and "disease."
Bartoll identifies malnutrition (specifically, not eating enough animal-based foods), toxins (primarily from wrong plant-based and processed diets), environmental pollution, mental trauma, and radiation as the key root causes of disease.
Bartoll suggests that effective weight loss involves eating as much animal-based food as possible 4-5 days a week, followed by fasting for the remaining 2-3 days. He argues that simply eating less (as in conventional advice) leads to nutrient deficiencies, hindering healing and detoxification.
Bartoll claims that John Davison Rockefeller Sr. "hijacked" medical science in the 1800s. His alleged motivation was to profit by selling "medicine" derived from oil production waste, supporting Louis Pasteur's "faulty germ theory" to create a system dependent on drugs.
Bartoll views a "diagnosis" in modern medicine as merely a label for symptoms, which modern medicine then attempts to suppress. Instead, he believes the focus should always be on identifying and removing the underlying problem or "offender" that caused the symptoms and damage.
Bartoll advocates for a slow transition (8-16 weeks) to an animal-based diet for unhealthy individuals to avoid "shocking the body." This gradual process allows the stomach acid, digestive enzymes, and gut microbiome to heal and adjust properly.
According to Bartoll, body fat, primarily composed of triglycerides and saturated fats, can be crucial when severely ill or facing starvation. It can be broken down for energy, and the breakdown of saturated fats can form acetyl CoA, which the liver uses to produce life-saving cholesterol, thus supporting healing.

Glossary of Key Terms
Glossary of Key Terms
Acetyl-CoA: A crucial molecule in metabolism, formed from the breakdown of fats and carbohydrates, which can be used by the liver to produce cholesterol.
Animal-Based Diet: Bartoll's advocated diet, composed entirely or predominantly of animal products (meats, fats, organs), believed to be the "species-appropriate" diet for humans. Also referred to as a "carnivore" diet.
Bioavailable: Refers to nutrients that are in a form readily absorbed and utilized by the body. Bartoll argues animal fats contain essential vitamins in a "bioactive format."
Cholesterol: A waxy, fat-like substance. Bartoll views it as essential for healing damaged tissue and not inherently problematic; elevated levels indicate the body's healing efforts.
Cuomo's Paradox: A concept, coined by Professor Raphael Cuomo, describing how behaviors typically considered unhealthy (e.g., carrying extra weight, elevated cholesterol) sometimes correlate with better survival in people already suffering from cancer or heart disease. Bartoll vehemently rejects it as a true paradox.
Detoxification: The process by which the body eliminates toxins. Bartoll suggests this is hindered by inappropriate diets and facilitated by nourishing the body and fasting.
Disease: According to Bartoll, not an inherent problem but a manifestation of accumulated damage and toxicity, primarily from malnutrition and toxic foods/environment.
Germ Theory: The theory that specific microorganisms are the cause of specific diseases. Bartoll labels it a "faulty" theory, allegedly promoted by Rockefeller for profit.
Glycation: A process where sugar molecules bind to proteins or lipids without enzymatic regulation, potentially damaging them. Bartoll links it to elevated blood glucose from carbohydrate consumption damaging LDL.
Homeostasis: The tendency of the body to maintain internal stability, such as temperature and nutrient levels. Bartoll states this is maintained by staying nourished.
LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein): Often referred to as "bad cholesterol." Bartoll argues LDL itself is not the problem, but can be damaged by glycation from high blood glucose, contributing to plaque.
Malnutrition: A state of not having enough of the correct nutrients. Bartoll specifies this as not eating enough animal-based foods.
Obligate Hyper Carnivores: Bartoll's classification of humans, meaning they are biologically designed to primarily or exclusively consume animal products, with plants being inherently toxic.
Obesity Paradox: The observation that heavier patients sometimes survive longer once they are ill with certain conditions (e.g., cardiovascular disease, cancer). Bartoll explains this without it being a true paradox.
Paradox: A seemingly self-contradictory statement or proposition that when investigated or explained may prove to be well-founded or true. Bartoll argues Cuomo's concept is not a true paradox.
Physiology: The way in which a living organism or bodily part functions. Bartoll frequently asserts modern medicine's ignorance of human physiology.
Plant-Based Foods: Any food derived from plants. Bartoll considers these inherently toxic for humans.
Processed Foods: Foods that have been altered from their natural state, often containing artificial ingredients and chemicals. Bartoll labels these as toxic.
Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (RIMR): Founded by John D. Rockefeller in 1901. Bartoll alleges it was established to profit from "medicine" and solidify the germ theory paradigm.
Saturated Fats: A type of dietary fat. Bartoll emphasizes their importance, especially in animal products, and their role in producing acetyl-CoA and cholesterol during illness.
Symptoms: Physical or mental features that are regarded as indicating a condition of disease. Bartoll states modern medicine focuses on suppressing symptoms rather than addressing their underlying causes.
Terrain Theory: A historical concept contrasting with germ theory, suggesting that disease arises from the internal "terrain" (the body's condition and environment) rather than solely from external pathogens. Bartoll's views align with this, emphasizing internal health and toxicity.
Toxic Load: The total burden of toxins accumulated in the body, which Bartoll attributes to an inappropriate diet and environmental factors.

I. Cuomo’s Paradox Is Not A Paradox: Everything About Modern Health Care And Medicine Is Backwards And Wrong! by Joachim Bartoll Modern health care and medicine are fundamentally flawed and "backwards and wrong." The following article, published by Medical X Press, is a perfect example of how even when modern health care is trying to apply logic and what they call “common sense,” it’s still inverted and totally wrong.
Again, this highlights the extreme incompetence and ignorance within modern “health care” and among gullible indoctrinated doctors who know absolutely nothing about human physiology or biochemistry.
II. Humans are obligate hyper carnivores, and plant-based foods are inherently toxic, leading to "disease." Most of the time it will not, especially when it comes to nutrition and retarded remedies as humans are obligate hyper carnivores and anything plant-based is inherently toxic while most people have been deceived by the establishment that we are omnivores.
This deception is what causes “disease,” the lie that humans can tolerate and eat plant-based and processed foods without harm.
III. What is considered "eating unhealthy" by modern medicine, particularly animal fats, is often more healthy and life-saving. What is considered “eating unhealthy” is sometimes more healthy than what is considered to be “eating healthy” — especially when it comes to life-saving animal fats (which also contains all essential vitamins in bioactive format.)
So, of course, even if you’re obese, you will have better odds at recovery if you have a better nutritional status than someone at normal weight that is malnourished.
IV. Elevated cholesterol is the body's natural response to heal damaged tissue, not a problem itself. And cholesterol is what the body uses to heal damaged tissue, especially blood vessels (as in cardiovascular damage.)
Elevated cholesterol means that you have damage that the body is trying to heal.
V. Low cholesterol is a dangerous sign, indicating the body lacks resources for healing. If you have damage, which every single human has to some degree, and your cholesterol is low, that is extremely bad as it indicates that your body does not have the resources to heal.
In advanced heart disease, extremely low cholesterol sometimes signals broader health problems: inflammation, malnutrition and liver dysfunction.
VI. Modern medicine focuses on suppressing symptoms rather than addressing the underlying causes of "disease." No, as a “diagnosis” is based on symptoms and modern medicine is all about suppressing these symptoms instead of focusing on the underlying problem that is the cause of the symptoms.
Society went from trying to treat and remove the causing offender of “disease” to simply labeling symptoms and trying to suppress them with drugs.
VII. Healing and regaining health require removing toxins and nourishing the body with animal-based foods. As we know that your body can only take damage from being malnourished, as in not eating enough animal-based foods, from toxins (mostly from the wrong plant-based and processed diet,) from environmental pollution, mental trauma, and radiation, the only way to get better is to remove as much of the offenders as possible while nourishing the body.
That is the only way to heal and regain your health.
VIII. Losing weight incorrectly, by eating less without focusing on nutrients, can be detrimental. Losing weight can be detrimental as people do not know how to do this correctly.
They simply eat less, which means even less nutrients and even more nutrient deficiencies — which slows down healing and detoxification even further.
IX. Reducing cholesterol levels is counterproductive because the body regulates cholesterol based on healing needs. And reducing cholesterol is the stupidest thing you could ever do.
Again, if it’s elevated it’s because you are healing.
X. Healing from a lifetime of inappropriate diet takes a significant amount of time, potentially years. Also, healing takes time.
In other words, after switching to our natural human diet of animal-based foods, your cholesterol might be elevated for 1, 3, 5 or more years before they start to come down and return to normal levels, because you are healing and restoring your health.
XI. All humans share the same physiology and require the same animal-based nutrition to heal and thrive. We all share the same physiology and we all react to nutrients the same way.
Other than that, all humans need the same nutrition to heal and thrive, as in animal fats, animal proteins and all the animal-based vitamins and minerals and other co-factors.
XII. A gradual transition to an animal-based diet is recommended for those who are unhealthy to allow the digestive system to adjust. Also, if you’re unhealthy, you will need to slowly transition to an animal-based diet over 8 to 16 weeks, as in slowly increasing animal-based foods while phasing out anything toxic, as in all plant-based and processed foods.
This will help to heal and adjust stomach acid, digestive enzymes, and your gut microbiome without shocking the body.
XIII. The "obesity paradox" is not a paradox; obese individuals who consume some balanced meals may have better nutritional status than "normal weight" individuals on plant-based diets. Again, not a paradox.
Many of them simply eat a somewhat balanced diet with some meat and animal fats and then they pig out on the sweet stuff.
XIV. Body fat can be a life-saving energy source during illness or fasting, producing cholesterol necessary for healing. When getting really ill and facing starvation or even fasting, body fat is broken down to be used as energy, and the breakdown of saturated fats forms acetyl CoA which can be used by the liver to produce life-saving cholesterol.
So, if you have some extra body fat when really ill and you have trouble eating enough, that body fat can still make sure that your body can produce cholesterol and heal.
XV. Obesity is primarily harmful due to the inappropriate foods causing fat gain, which increases toxic load and damage, rather than body fat itself. Obesity is harmful because of what is causing you to gain body fat, as in consuming non-appropriate foods that increases the toxic load and the damage to the body.
Still, the real problem is the inappropriate diet.
XVI. Alcohol is a potent poison and its consumption reflects deeper personal issues. And alcohol is a very potent poison that can easily kill, so that should not need any explanation.
If you consume alcohol, you simply hate yourself and your life and you need to deal with that first.
XVII. High cholesterol indicates severe damage, and ignoring the cause of this damage, not the cholesterol itself, leads to poor outcomes. Still, you do not understand that high cholesterol is your body’s only option to heal the damage you have caused.
And if your cholesterol is very high, it might indicate really severe damage and guess what will happen if you do not stop that damage? Yes, that person will die rather quickly.
XVIII. Cholesterol is vilified because LDL can be damaged by glycation from elevated blood glucose caused by carbohydrate consumption. Now, the only reason they try to vilify cholesterol is because LDL can be damaged by glycation from elevated blood glucose, as when you consume carbohydrates.
Again, not the fault of cholesterol, but that of a very unnatural diet that we are not constructed for.
XIX. The "health care" and "medical science" systems were corrupted by John Davison Rockefeller, promoting germ theory and drug-based symptom suppression for profit. The problem here is that the so-called “health care” and “medical science” was hijacked by John Davison Rockefeller in the 1800’s with him supporting Pasteur’s faulty germ theory as he saw an enormous potential in that lie and making money from it.
Society went from trying to treat and remove the causing offender of “disease” to simply labeling symptoms and trying to suppress them with drugs.
XX. The promotion of plant-based and processed foods is part of a "diabolic relationship" between the food and pharmaceutical industries to control the population. This goes hand in hand with the historical introduction of slave-based foods, as in plant-based and processed foods to support population growth, but mostly as a control tool as anyone who consume inappropriate foods will damage their bodies, get weak, docile, dumbed-down, and ridden with disease and thus become dependent on the social beast system, that of governments and “health care.”
The evil food industry and the evil pharmaceutical industry are both controlled by the same elitists, and because of this, they have most of the population in an iron-clad grip.
VIDEO
The source introduces "Cuomo's Paradox," which challenges conventional health advice by suggesting that what's considered healthy for well individuals might be detrimental for the seriously ill. It posits that traditional "bad" indicators like higher cholesterol or extra weight can correlate with better survival rates in critically ill patients, reframing high cholesterol not as a disease but as a symptom of the body's repair process. The source attributes cholesterol's negative reputation to its interaction with high blood sugar through glycation, arguing that an unnatural diet, not cholesterol itself, is the true culprit. This leads to the claim that humans are obligate hyper-carnivores, designed to thrive on animal products, and that plant and processed foods act as toxins, causing modern diseases by conflicting with our biological blueprint. Ultimately, the source advocates for a species-appropriate, animal-based diet as the path to healing, slowly eliminating plant and processed foods, and critiques modern medicine's historical foundation as profit-driven and symptom-focused rather than addressing root dietary causes.
Discuss Cuomo's paradox.
Cuomo's paradox, coined by Professor Raphael Cuomo at UC San Diego School of Medicine, describes a counterintuitive medical reality where health advice meant to keep individuals well might actually harm them once they are seriously ill12. This concept suggests that the conventional rulebook for what is healthy might need to be disregarded when someone is seriously ill1.
Core Observations of Cuomo's Paradox: The paradox highlights observations from studies of patients with serious conditions like cancer or heart disease, where factors typically considered unhealthy, such as extra weight or higher cholesterol, appear to correlate with better survival rates13. This phenomenon challenges the idea of a one-size-fits-all approach to medical advice23.
Reinterpretation by the Source Material (Lenny and Maria Sanchez podcast): The author of the source material argues that this is not a paradox but rather a sign of a fundamental misunderstanding of human biology1. This reevaluation primarily focuses on the role of cholesterol:
• Cholesterol as a Hero: Contrary to standard medical guidance, the source presents cholesterol as a critical tool the body uses to repair damage, especially in blood vessels1.
• High Cholesterol as a Symptom: High cholesterol is not seen as a disease itself but as a symptom that the body is in repair mode, indicating healing1.
• Low Cholesterol as a Problem: Following this logic, having low cholesterol when sick could be detrimental, meaning the body lacks the necessary materials to fix itself14.
• Glycation and Diet: The source claims cholesterol's poor reputation stems from what happens to it when there's too much sugar in the blood. This process, called glycation, damages LDL cholesterol, and this damaged cholesterol, not cholesterol itself, causes problems1. The real culprit is identified as a diet that corrupts the body's healing response15.
Connection to a "Species-Appropriate Diet": This reinterpretation leads to the claim that humans are obligate hyper carnivores, biologically wired to thrive almost entirely on animal products, rather than omnivores1.... Key pillars of this worldview include:
• True human nutrition comes solely from animal fats and proteins16.
• All plant and processed foods are considered sources of toxins that damage cells17.
• Modern disease is seen as a direct result of eating against our biological blueprint1. An example provided is an obese person consuming some animal fats potentially having better healing nutrients than a skinny person on a "toxic, malnourishing plant-based diet"18.
Critique of Modern Medicine's Foundation: The source material also suggests that the foundation of modern medicine was built on a flawed, profit-driven idea1. It traces this back to John D. Rockefeller in the 1800s, who allegedly saw profit in Louis Pasteur's germ theory19. The founding of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (RIMR) in 1901 is claimed to have cemented a medical approach focused on patentable drugs to manage symptoms, rather than addressing root dietary causes of disease19.
The Proposed Path to "True Healing": The source outlines a direct method:
1. Eliminate all plant and processed foods17.
2. Nourish the body with its species-appropriate diet, meaning animal products17.
3. This transition should be gradual (8 to 16 weeks) to allow the body to adapt110.
Joachim Bartoll's Perspective: "Cuomo's Paradox Is Not A Paradox": Joachim Bartoll strongly asserts that "Cuomo’s Paradox Is Not A Paradox" and argues that "Everything About Modern Health Care And Medicine Is Backwards And Wrong!"11. Bartoll views Cuomo's ideas as "completely irrelevant" and drawn from a "false narrative"12.
• Agreement on Observation, Disagreement on Interpretation: Bartoll agrees with the observations that factors like extra weight and elevated cholesterol sometimes correlate with better survival in the ill3. However, he states that these can be explained by "logic and common sense" and highlights the "extreme incompetence and ignorance within modern 'health care' and among gullible indoctrinated doctors"1314.
• Cholesterol Explanation: Bartoll reinforces that cholesterol is what the body uses to heal damaged tissue, especially blood vessels4. Elevated cholesterol is a sign of healing, and low cholesterol in a sick person is "extremely bad" as it indicates a lack of healing resources4. The problem is the damage, not the cholesterol itself1516. He attributes the vilification of cholesterol to its damage by glycation from elevated blood glucose due to carbohydrate consumption5.
• Obesity Explanation: Regarding the "obesity paradox," Bartoll explains that not all obese people are severely malnourished. Some may consume a "somewhat balanced diet with some meat and animal fats," providing better nutritional status than "normal weight" people on "toxic plant-based diets"8. He notes that body fat, composed of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, can be broken down during illness to produce life-saving cholesterol, thus supporting healing17. The real problem with obesity is the inappropriate diet causing the fat gain, increasing toxic load and damage, not the body fat itself as a burden18.
• Species-Appropriate Diet and Healing: Bartoll emphasizes that humans are obligate hyper carnivores, and plant-based foods are "inherently toxic"2.... Healing involves removing "offenders" (plant-based and processed foods) and nourishing the body with animal-based foods, including animal fats and proteins67. He advises a slow transition to an animal-based diet over 8 to 16 weeks to allow the digestive system to adjust10.
• Critique of Modern Medicine: Like the podcast, Bartoll claims that modern "health care" and "medical science" were hijacked by John Davison Rockefeller in the 1800s, who supported Pasteur's "faulty germ theory" to profit from selling "medicine" derived from oil production waste9. This led to a system focused on labeling symptoms and suppressing them with drugs rather than addressing underlying causes, creating a "perfect business model"9. He links this to the introduction of "slave-based foods" (plant-based and processed foods) to control populations, making them "weak, docile, dumbed-down, and ridden with disease"19.
In essence, both sources, despite one accepting "Cuomo's paradox" as a concept to be explored and the other vehemently rejecting the term "paradox," agree on the central premise: much of modern health advice and medicine is fundamentally flawed, especially for the sick, and advocates for a species-appropriate, animal-based diet to truly support health and healing1....

Discuss Cholesterol's role.
The sources present a stark contrast to the conventional understanding of cholesterol, largely through the lens of "Cuomo's paradox" and Joachim Bartoll's critiques12.
Here's a breakdown of cholesterol's role according to these perspectives:
• Conventional View vs. Alternative View
◦ The standard medical guidance portrays high cholesterol as a villain that should be fought and lowered at all costs1.
◦ The alternative narrative presented by the sources completely reverses this view, claiming that cholesterol is actually a "hero"1. It is described as a critical tool that your body uses to patch things up and repair damage, particularly in blood vessels13.
• Cholesterol as a Symptom of Healing
◦ A crucial takeaway from this perspective is that high cholesterol is not a disease itself, but rather a symptom that your body is in repair mode1. It signals that healing is actively happening within the body1.
◦ Conversely, having low cholesterol when someone is sick could be a negative indicator, suggesting that the body lacks the necessary raw materials to fix itself13. Therefore, a person with cancer or heart disease who has high cholesterol might have better survival rates because their body is actively trying to heal, unlike someone in the same situation with low cholesterol13.
• Why Cholesterol Has a Bad Reputation
◦ The sources claim that the problem is not cholesterol itself, but what happens to it when there's too much sugar in the blood1. This process is called glycation, where high glucose levels from carbohydrates damage LDL cholesterol14. It is this damaged cholesterol that can cause problems, contributing to plaque formation14.
◦ Thus, the real culprit isn't the body's natural healing response, but an unnatural diet that corrupts it, primarily through the consumption of carbohydrates14.
• Challenging "Cuomo's Paradox"
◦ The concept of "Cuomo's paradox" notes that behaviors considered unhealthy, such as carrying extra weight or having elevated cholesterol, sometimes correlate with better survival in patients with cancer or heart disease15.
◦ However, Joachim Bartoll explicitly states that this is "not a paradox" at all16. He argues it can be explained by simple logic and common sense, highlighting a fundamental misunderstanding of human biology, physiology, and biochemistry within modern healthcare1....
◦ Bartoll asserts that the body regulates cholesterol based on its needs, and if cholesterol is elevated, it is for healing8. He notes that cholesterol levels can remain high for years after transitioning to an animal-based diet, as the body works to heal accumulated damage9.
• The Role of Body Fat and Low Cholesterol
◦ The sources suggest that the "obesity paradox" (where heavier patients sometimes survive longer when ill) is not a paradox10. It's explained by the fact that even some obese individuals may have a better nutritional status than "normal weight" people following a "toxic plant-based diet"10.
◦ Additionally, body fat serves as an energy reserve11. When severely ill or fasting, body fat breaks down, forming acetyl CoA, which the liver can use to produce life-saving cholesterol. This provides resources for healing even when food intake is difficult11.
◦ Modern medicine does recognize that extremely low cholesterol in advanced heart disease can signal broader health problems like inflammation, malnutrition, and liver dysfunction, reflecting an underlying illness rather than directly causing poor outcomes12. However, Bartoll argues that even with this recognition, they fail to understand that high cholesterol is the body's essential response to damage13.
In essence, both sources converge on the idea that cholesterol is a vital, self-regulating healing agent and that its vilification stems from a misunderstanding of its biological function and the damaging effects of an inappropriate diet, specifically high carbohydrate intake1....

Discuss Species appropriate diet.
The concept of a "species-appropriate diet" is central to the alternative health perspectives presented in the sources, challenging conventional nutritional advice and the foundation of modern medicine1....
Definition and Core Principle: Both sources unequivocally state that humans are "obligate hyper carnivores," completely rejecting the idea that humans are omnivores1.... This means our bodies are biologically wired to thrive almost entirely on animal products1.
Components of the Species-Appropriate Diet:
• Included Foods: True human nutrition, according to this perspective, comes solely from animal fats and proteins1.... This includes a "balanced animal-based diet" with animal fats, animal proteins, and all animal-based vitamins and minerals and other co-factors45. Specific organ meats can be added depending on the area of the body one is trying to heal5.
• Excluded Foods: All plant and processed foods are considered sources of toxins that constantly damage the body at a cellular level1.... These are described as "inherently toxic"26 and "slave-based foods"7.
Rationale and Impact on Health and Healing:
• Reversing Disease: Modern disease is presented as a direct result of eating against our biological blueprint1. The deception that humans can tolerate plant-based and processed foods without harm is identified as the cause of "disease"2.
• Healing and Resources: The species-appropriate diet provides the necessary nutrients for the body to heal and restore health4.... If the body is nourished and "de-stressed," it can heal itself10.
• Counteracting Malnutrition: Deviating from this diet leads to malnutrition6. For instance, obese individuals who consume some animal fats might have a better stock of healing nutrients than "skinny" people on a "toxic, malnourishing plant-based diet"111. Body fat, composed of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, can be broken down during illness to produce life-saving cholesterol, acting as a reserve for healing when food intake is difficult12.
• Cholesterol and Glycation: The vilification of cholesterol is attributed to its damage by glycation, a process where high glucose from carbohydrates damages LDL cholesterol113. The problem is not cholesterol itself, which is a vital healing agent, but the unnatural diet that corrupts the body's healing response by causing this damage113.
Critique of Modern Medicine's Historical Foundation: The sources link the deviation from a species-appropriate diet to a flawed, profit-driven foundation of modern medicine. It's claimed that John D. Rockefeller in the 1800s saw profit in Louis Pasteur's "faulty germ theory"114. The founding of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (RIMR) in 1901 allegedly cemented a medical approach focused on patentable drugs to manage symptoms, rather than addressing the root dietary causes of disease114. This system, combined with the introduction of "slave-based foods," is seen as a way to control populations by making them "weak, docile, dumbed-down, and ridden with disease"7.
Transitioning to a Species-Appropriate Diet:
• The proposed path to "true healing" involves two main steps:
1. Eliminate all plant and processed foods15.
2. Nourish the body with animal products15.
• It is crucial to make this transition slowly, over about 8 to 16 weeks, to allow the body to adapt without a "massive shock" to the system15. This gradual approach helps to heal and adjust stomach acid, digestive enzymes, and the gut microbiome5.
• During this healing process, cholesterol levels might remain elevated for years, as the body works to heal accumulated damage9.
In summary, the species-appropriate diet, as described in the sources, advocates for an animal-based, hypercarnivorous eating pattern and positions it as the fundamental solution to disease, directly countering modern medical and nutritional paradigms1....

Discuss Species appropriate diet.
The sources fundamentally redefine human dietary needs, asserting that a "species-appropriate diet" for humans consists almost exclusively of animal products, directly contrasting conventional nutritional advice and the foundations of modern medicine1.
Here's a detailed discussion of the species-appropriate diet according to the provided sources:
• Definition: Humans as Obligate Hyper Carnivores The core principle is that humans are "obligate hyper carnivores," unequivocally rejecting the idea that we are omnivores12. This means that human bodies are biologically designed to thrive almost entirely on animal products1. Joachim Bartoll emphasizes that modern health care and medicine are "backwards and wrong" because they do not align with our biology and physiology, especially regarding nutrition, where people have been "deceived by the establishment that we are omnivores"23.
• Components of the Species-Appropriate Diet
◦ Included Foods: "Real true human nutrition only comes from animal fats and proteins"1. This includes a "balanced animal-based diet" with animal fats, animal proteins, and all animal-based vitamins, minerals, and other co-factors45. Depending on the specific area of the body one is trying to heal, specific organ meats can be incorporated45.
◦ Excluded Foods: All plant and processed foods are considered inherently toxic and are seen as sources of toxins that constantly damage the body at a cellular level1.... These are referred to as "slave-based foods"7. Any kind of artificial products with chemicals should also be avoided6.
• Rationale for Health and Healing
◦ Cause of Disease: The sources argue that modern disease is the direct result of humans eating against their "biological blueprint"1. The "deception" that humans can tolerate plant-based and processed foods without harm is identified as the cause of "disease"2.
◦ Healing Mechanism: To achieve "true healing," the proposed path involves removing the damage-causing substances (plant and processed foods) and nourishing the body with its species-appropriate diet1. When the body is properly nourished and "de-stressed," it has the capacity to heal itself68.
◦ Counteracting Malnutrition and "Paradoxes":
▪ The "obesity paradox," where heavier patients sometimes survive longer when ill, is explained as "not a paradox"9. It's suggested that even some obese individuals who consume animal fats may have a better nutritional status than "normal weight" people following a "toxic plant-based diet" that lacks bioavailable nutrients and life-saving animal fats19.
▪ Body fat serves as a crucial energy reserve10. When severely ill or fasting, body fat, composed of saturated and monounsaturated fatty acids, breaks down into acetyl CoA, which the liver can use to produce "life-saving cholesterol." This mechanism ensures the body has resources for healing, even when food intake is difficult10.
◦ Cholesterol's Role: The sources connect the species-appropriate diet to the understanding of cholesterol. The problem is not cholesterol itself (which is a vital healing agent), but its damage through glycation from elevated blood glucose caused by carbohydrate consumption111. An unnatural diet, particularly one high in carbohydrates, corrupts the body's natural healing response111.
• Critique of Modern Medicine's Historical Foundation The deviation from a species-appropriate diet is linked to a flawed, profit-driven historical foundation of modern medicine1. The narrative suggests that John D. Rockefeller, in the 1800s, saw profit in Louis Pasteur's "faulty germ theory"112. The establishment of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (RIMR) in 1901 allegedly cemented a medical paradigm focused on patentable drugs to manage symptoms rather than addressing the root dietary causes of disease112. This system, combined with the introduction of "slave-based foods," is presented as a means to control populations by making them "weak, docile, dumbed-down, and ridden with disease"7.
• Transitioning to the Species-Appropriate Diet The path to "true healing" involves two direct steps:
1. Eliminate all plant foods and all processed foods1.
2. Nourish the body with animal products1. Crucially, this transition must be done slowly, over approximately 8 to 16 weeks, to allow the body to adapt without "a massive shock to the system"15. This gradual approach helps in the healing and adjustment of stomach acid, digestive enzymes, and the gut microbiome5. It's also noted that after switching to an animal-based diet, cholesterol levels might remain elevated for several years (1, 3, 5, or more) as the body works to heal accumulated damage13.
In summary, the species-appropriate diet, as articulated in the sources, advocates for an animal-based, hypercarnivorous eating pattern as the fundamental solution for preventing and reversing disease, challenging almost all conventional modern health advice114.

Discuss Medical history critique.
The sources present a profound and sweeping critique of modern medicine's historical foundation, arguing that it is fundamentally flawed, profit-driven, and based on a misunderstanding of human biology12.
Here's a breakdown of the medical history critique:
• The Rockefeller Influence and Germ Theory
◦ The critique posits that the current state of medicine dates back to the 1800s, when John D. Rockefeller allegedly saw an enormous opportunity for profit in Louis Pasteur's "faulty germ theory"13.
◦ According to this narrative, the founding of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (RIMR) in 1901 was a pivotal moment. It is claimed that this institution "cemented a whole new way of thinking about medicine," shifting the focus to creating patentable drugs to manage symptoms rather than addressing the root dietary causes of disease13.
◦ Rockefeller is accused of using his wealth and influence to suppress anyone who did not practice "medicine" as taught by his medical license, thereby steering society away from treating and removing the underlying causes of "disease" towards symptom suppression with drugs3. This is described as a "perfect business model" because patients would temporarily improve but, since the underlying problem remained, they would need to return for more treatment, further exacerbated by drug side-effects that required additional medication3. John D. Rockefeller is called an "evil genius" for creating this industry based on "lies and deceit"3.
• Shift from Root Cause to Symptom Management
◦ Before Rockefeller's alleged intervention, society supposedly focused on identifying and removing the "causing offender" of disease3. However, the established system shifted towards "simply labeling symptoms and trying to suppress them with drugs"3.
◦ This approach is seen as a fundamental failure, as it ignores that "diagnosis" is based on symptoms, and the "harsh treatments" offered by modern medicine are not aimed at the underlying problem causing declining health4. The true path to healing, according to the sources, involves removing offenders like toxins and nourishing the body5.
• Connection to Diet and "Slave-Based Foods"
◦ This historical shift in medicine is linked directly to the introduction of "slave-based foods," which are identified as plant-based and processed foods6. These foods were purportedly introduced to support population growth but primarily served as a "control tool"6.
◦ The consumption of these "inappropriate foods" is believed to damage bodies, making people "weak, docile, dumbed-down, and ridden with disease," thereby rendering them dependent on the "social beast system" of governments and "health care"6. This creates a "perfect diabolic relationship" between the "evil food industry and the evil pharmaceutical industry," both allegedly controlled by the same elitists6.
• Critique of Modern Medical Competence
◦ The sources, particularly Joachim Bartoll, express extreme disdain for the competence of modern healthcare professionals. Bartoll asserts that doctors are "completely clueless about human biology, physiology and biochemistry"78. He even suggests that those who cannot understand the simple logic behind concepts like "Cuomo's paradox" should consider careers cleaning bathrooms9.
◦ The "science" of today, especially regarding human biology and health, is dismissed as "complete nonsense" derived from a "false narrative" and a "faulty germ-theory-based and omnivore-based illusion of the human body"10.
In summary, the medical history critique presented in the sources argues that modern medicine's foundation is built on a corrupted, profit-driven model established by John D. Rockefeller, which has deliberately misdirected healthcare away from natural, species-appropriate nutrition and towards the management of symptoms with pharmaceuticals13. This, coupled with the promotion of "slave-based foods," is seen as a mechanism for population control, contributing to widespread disease and dependency6.

Discuss True healing path.
The sources outline a very specific and counter-intuitive "true healing path," which stands in stark contrast to conventional medical advice. This path is built on the fundamental premise that modern disease is a direct result of living and eating against our biological blueprint1.
Here's a breakdown of the true healing path:
• Identifying the Root Cause of Disease: The core argument is that humans have been "deceived by the establishment that we are omnivores"2. This "deception" and the consumption of "plant-based and processed foods without harm" is what causes "disease"2. Problems stem from being malnourished (not eating enough animal-based foods), exposure to toxins (mostly from the wrong plant-based and processed diet), environmental pollution, mental trauma, and radiation3. The current medical system, allegedly influenced by figures like John D. Rockefeller, focuses on "suppressing these symptoms instead of focusing on the underlying problem"45.
• The Two-Step Path to True Healing: The proposed method for "true healing" is direct and consists of two primary steps1:
1. Eliminate Offenders: This means getting rid of all plant foods and all processed foods1.... These are considered sources of toxins that constantly damage the body at a cellular level1. Plant-based items are explicitly labeled as "inherently toxic"2.
2. Nourish with Species-Appropriate Diet: Nourish the body with its species-appropriate diet, meaning animal products13. This emphasizes that "real true human nutrition only comes from animal fats and proteins"1. Humans are asserted to be "obligate hyper carnivores," whose bodies are biologically wired to thrive almost entirely on animal products12. This diet should include a "balanced animal-based diet" with animal fats, animal proteins, and all animal-based vitamins, minerals, and other co-factors67. Specific organ meats can be added depending on the area of the body one is trying to heal67.
• The Importance of Slow Transition: A crucial element of this healing path is the slow transition1. The sources advise making this dietary change over about 8 to 16 weeks. This gradual approach is essential to allow the body to adapt without a "massive shock to the system"1. It helps in healing and adjusting stomach acid, digestive enzymes, and the gut microbiome6.
• Understanding the Body's Healing Response:
◦ Cholesterol as a Healing Agent: As discussed previously, cholesterol is viewed as a "hero" and a "critical tool your body uses to patch things up," especially in blood vessels1. High cholesterol is seen not as a disease but as a symptom that your body is in repair mode, a sign that healing is happening18. When individuals switch to an animal-based diet, cholesterol levels might remain elevated for 1, 3, 5, or more years because the body is finally receiving the necessary nutrients to heal accumulated damage at maximum capacity910.
◦ Body Fat as a Reserve: Even carrying some body fat is reframed. It can serve as an energy reserve, breaking down into acetyl CoA, which the liver can use to produce "life-saving cholesterol" when a person is seriously ill or fasting, thus providing resources for healing11.
• Rejecting Modern Medical "Treatments": The sources strongly advise against "retarded 'harsh treatments'" prescribed by modern medicine, as these are seen as symptom-suppressing rather than addressing the underlying cause4. Instead, the focus should be on removing offenders and keeping the body as nourished and de-stressed as possible312. This approach is universal, applying to both prevention and recovery from serious illness, as "the behavior that prevents disease... is also the behavior that supports survival once serious illness arrives"13.
In summary, the "true healing path" advocated in the sources involves a radical dietary shift to an animal-based, hypercarnivorous diet, the complete elimination of plant and processed foods, and a fundamental reinterpretation of bodily signals like cholesterol as indicators of healing rather than disease. This approach is presented as the only logical and biologically appropriate way to achieve and maintain health, directly countering the "backwards and wrong" paradigms of modern medicine14.

TEXT
Welcome to the Lenny and Maria Sanchez podcast and video show. So, what if the health advice we all follow, you know, the stuff meant to keep us well, is actually the very thing that could hurt us when we get sick? It's a pretty wild thought, right? In today's explainer, we're diving deep into a source that explores this exact question through a fascinating concept it calls Kumo's paradox. Let's break it down. Here it is right up front. This is the big idea from our source material. It's totally counterintuitive, but it's the heart of Cuomo's paradox. It basically suggests that when someone is seriously ill, the conventional rulebook for what's healthy might need to be thrown right out the window. Okay, so what is this paradox really? Let's get into the core observation that this whole argument is built on. And here you have it. This idea just flies in the face of the one-sizefits-all advice we hear all the time. The source points to studies of patients with really serious conditions, think cancer or heart disease, where things were always told are bad, like like having some extra weight or higher cholesterol actually seem to line up with better survival rates. Kind of makes you think, doesn't it? But here is where the source really flips the script. The author claims this isn't a paradox at all. Instead, it's a sign that we've got a fundamental misunderstanding of our own biology. And that whole reevaluation, well, it starts with something we all think we know inside and out. Cholesterol. All right. So, let's tackle cholesterol because the view in this source is a complete 180 from the standard medical guidance we've all grown up with. So, you can see the two views right here side by side. The story we all know is that high cholesterol is the villain, something to be fought and lowered at all costs. But this source presents a totally different narrative. It says cholesterol is actually the hero. It's a critical tool your body uses to patch things up, to repair damage, especially in our blood vessels. And this is the absolute crucial takeaway from the sourc's perspective. High cholesterol isn't the disease itself. It's a symptom that your body is in repair mode. It's a sign that healing is happening. Now, if you follow that logic, having low cholesterol when you're sick could actually be a bad thing. It might mean your body just doesn't have the raw materials it needs to fix itself. So, you have to ask, if cholesterol is this amazing healing agent, why does it have such a terrible reputation? Well, the source claims the problem isn't the cholesterol, it's what happens to it when there's too much sugar in your blood. It points to this process called glycation. where high glucose from carbs actually damages the LDL cholesterol and that damaged cholesterol is what can cause problems. So the takeaway here is that the real culprit isn't your body's healing response, but the diet that's corrupting it. Okay, so if an unnatural diet is the big problem here, what is a natural one actually look like? This brings us to the author's next major claim. All about our so-called species appropriate diet. This is a big one. The source completely rejects the idea that we're omnivores. Instead, it says Humans are obligate hyper carnivores. Now, that's not just saying we can eat meat. It's a much stronger claim. It's saying our bodies are biologically wired to thrive almost entirely on animal products. So, this entire worldview is built on a few core pillars. First, that real true human nutrition only comes from animal fats and proteins. Second, and this is a huge one, that all plant and processed foods are seen as sources of toxins that are constantly damaging our bodies at a cellular level. The conclusion then is Pretty simple. Modern disease is the direct result of us eating against our biological blueprint. And this is how it all ties back to that paradox we started with. The source uses this dietary theory to explain it. The argument goes like this. An obese person who's at least eating some animal fats might actually have a better stock of the nutrients their body needs to heal than a skinny person subsisting on what the author calls a toxic, malnourishing plant-based diet. And the argument doesn't stop at biology and nutrition. The source goes a step further and makes some pretty bold claims about the history of modern medicine itself, suggesting its very foundation was built on a flawed profit-driven idea. So, this historical narrative claims that way back in the 1800s, John D. Rockefeller saw a huge opportunity for profit and Louis Pastor's germ theory. And according to this source, when the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research was founded in 1901, it cemented a whole new way of thinking about medicine, one focused on creat patentable drugs to manage symptoms, rather than looking at the root dietary causes of disease. All right, so after this massive critique of everything from our diet to modern medicine, what's the solution? What's the path forward? Well, the source material lays out a very clear step-by-step path to what it calls true healing. The method proposed is really quite direct. Step one, get rid of the things seen as causing the damage in the first place. That means all plant foods, all processed foods. Step Two, nourish the body with its species appropriate diet, meaning animal products. But here's a really key point. The source says to do this slowly over about 8 to 16 weeks to let your body adapt without a massive shock to the system. So, there you have it. We've just walked through a perspective that challenges well, pretty much everything we think we know about health, from the role of cholesterol all the way to the history of modern medicine. It's a complete reimagining all presented from the viewpoint of this one source, which really just leaves us with this one big thought-provoking question to chew on. We've just explored a deeply challenging perspective. If the claims presented in this source were actually true, what would that really mean for nearly every single piece of modern health advice we follow every day? It's a pretty profound thing to consider. Thank you for listening to another session of the Lenny and Maria Sanchez podcast and video show produced and archived at the website notebooklvo.com.

This source critiques modern health and medicine, arguing that much of our current understanding is "backwards and wrong." The author, Yokim Bartol, proposes a radical alternative view rooted in the belief that humans are "obligate hyper carnivores," meaning our bodies are designed to thrive almost exclusively on animal products, with plant-based foods being inherently toxic. Bartol challenges conventional wisdom on several fronts, asserting that high cholesterol is a sign of healing, not disease, and that medical science was "hijacked" by corporate interests to promote drug-dependent, symptomatic treatment over addressing root causes. He advocates a unified strategy of removing "offenders" like plant-based and processed foods while maximizing nourishment through an animal-based diet to achieve true health and recovery
Discuss Radical Health Blueprint.
Yoken Bartol's "Radical Health Blueprint" is presented as a highly provocative and comprehensive alternative framework that challenges established medical ideas and modern healthcare12. It suggests that our current understanding of health and medicine might be "backwards and wrong"1.
Here are the key aspects of Bartol's radical health blueprint:
• Critique of Modern Healthcare
◦ Bartol argues that modern healthcare and doctors are "completely clueless about human biology, physiology, and biochemistry," leading them to misinterpret observations and provide "inverted and totally wrong" advice3.
◦ He claims that modern medicine primarily focuses on suppressing symptoms with drugs rather than addressing the underlying issues of accumulated damage and toxins45. This creates a system of dependency and is described as a "perfect business model" where people need more drugs to manage side effects, ensuring constant revenue56.
• Reinterpretation of Cuomo's Paradox
◦ Bartol tackles what he calls Cuomo's paradox, an observation where behaviors typically considered unhealthy (like carrying extra weight, moderate drinking, or higher cholesterol) sometimes correlate with better survival rates in individuals with serious conditions like cancer or heart disease3.
◦ He flatly states this is "not a paradox" but rather a misinterpretation by medical professionals due to their lack of understanding of how the body truly works3.
• Humans as Obligate Hypercarnivores
◦ A foundational claim in his blueprint is that humans are "obligate hyper carnivores," meaning our species is biologically designed to thrive almost entirely on animal products7.
◦ He views anything plant-based as inherently toxic and considers the widespread belief that humans are fine with plants and processed foods to be a "deception" and the "root cause of disease"7.
◦ He calls plant-based and processed foods "slave-based foods," alleging they are deliberately used to make populations "weak, docile, dumbed down, and ridden with disease," thus making people dependent on governments and healthcare systems, which he claims are controlled by the same elitists6.
• Alternative View on Nutrition and Healing
◦ Animal fats are considered "lifesaving," containing essential bioactive vitamins that Bartol believes are not available or absorbable from plant sources8.
◦ He proposes a unified strategy for healing and prevention: remove "offenders" and maximize nourishment9.
▪ Offenders: Include malnutrition (lack of animal-based foods), toxins (primarily from plant-based and processed foods), environmental pollution, mental trauma, and radiation9.
▪ Nourishment: Solely involves animal-based foods, with specific organ meats suggested for targeting certain body areas910.
◦ He advises a slow transition to an animal-based diet, typically 8 to 16 weeks, to allow the body to adjust, avoid shock, and begin the healing process gradually11.
◦ He claims all humans share the same basic physiology and react similarly to nutrients, with differences primarily due to accumulated toxic load and damage10.
• Radical Take on Cholesterol
◦ Bartol completely reverses the conventional wisdom that high cholesterol is bad, arguing that cholesterol isn't the problem but the "solution." He states it is what the body uses to heal damaged tissue, especially in blood vessels during cardiovascular damage8.
◦ From his perspective, high cholesterol indicates the body is actively healing and repairing itself, not causing illness8.
◦ Conversely, low cholesterol in individuals with cancer or heart disease is "extremely bad," as it signifies the body lacks the crucial resources needed for healing, suggesting those with higher cholesterol might "last longer"12.
• Weight Management and the Obesity Paradox
◦ Bartol offers a different approach to weight management than calorie restriction, suggesting that eating plenty of animal-based foods four to five days a week and then fasting for two to three days allows the body to detoxify and maintain nourishment, with healthy weight management being a natural outcome13.
◦ Regarding the obesity paradox, he argues that not all obese people are severely overfed and malnourished. He suggests that some obese individuals who consume a balanced diet including meat and animal fats may have better nutritional status than normal-weight people on "toxic plant-based diets"11.
◦ He further points out that body fat is not just dead weight but stored energy and can provide crucial resources like acetal COA, which the liver uses to produce "life-saving cholesterol," linking body fat to the body's healing capacity14.
• Historical Claims of Medical System "Hijacking"
◦ Bartol makes "explosive claims" about the origins of the medical system, alleging it was "hijacked" by John D. Rockefeller in the 1800s15.
◦ He claims Rockefeller supported Louis Pasteur's "faulty germ theory" to profit by selling medicines derived from his oil business's waste products15.
◦ This, Bartol argues, led to the founding of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (RMR) in 1901, which controlled medical practice and suppressed alternative healing methods that didn't align with the new drug-focused model5.
In summary, Bartol's "Radical Health Blueprint" is a call for a total re-evaluation of our species-appropriate diet and a critical look at what truly nourishes us, challenging many modern health problems as a result of being out of sync with fundamental human biology1617. His core message is to remove "offenders" (plants, processed foods, toxins, trauma) and return to an animal-based diet for genuine healing and health17.

Discuss Challenging Medical Beliefs.
The article by Yoken Bartal, as discussed in the Lenny and Maria Sanchez podcast and video show, presents a radical alternative view that profoundly challenges many established beliefs about modern health and medicine12. Bartal argues that our current understanding might be "backwards and wrong," offering a comprehensive, albeit highly controversial, framework for health, illness, and recovery1.
Here are the key medical beliefs and practices that Bartal's perspective directly challenges:
• Cuomo's Paradox and Modern Medicine's Understanding of Biology:
◦ Bartal addresses what is known as Cuomo's paradox, where behaviors typically considered unhealthy (like carrying extra weight, moderate drinking, or higher cholesterol) sometimes correlate with better survival rates in people with serious conditions3.
◦ He flatly states this is "not a paradox"3. Instead, he argues that modern healthcare professionals are "completely clueless" about human biology, physiology, and biochemistry, leading them to misinterpret these observations3. From his viewpoint, conventional health advice is often "inverted and totally wrong" because it doesn't align with the body's actual biological functions3.
• Dietary Foundations and Human Nutritional Needs:
◦ Bartal makes the bold claim that humans are "obligate hyper carnivores," biologically designed to thrive almost entirely on animal products4.
◦ He views anything plant-based as "inherently toxic" for humans4.
◦ He asserts that the widespread belief that humans are fine with plants and processed foods is a "deception" and the "root cause of what he calls disease"4.
◦ In contrast to standard dietary advice, he suggests that what is labeled unhealthy, particularly animal fats, can be "lifesaving," containing essential bioactive vitamins not obtainable or absorbable from plant sources5.
• The Role of Cholesterol:
◦ Bartal offers a "radically different take" on cholesterol, turning the conventional idea that high cholesterol is bad on its head5.
◦ He argues that cholesterol is not the problem, but "the solution," used by the body to heal damaged tissue, especially in repairing blood vessels during cardiovascular damage5. High cholesterol, from his perspective, signifies active healing and repair, not the cause of illness5.
◦ Furthermore, he claims that low cholesterol in individuals with cancer or heart disease is "extremely bad," indicating the body lacks crucial resources for healing6. He suggests that those with high cholesterol in such situations would "last longer" because their bodies are actively trying to repair6. This directly challenges the conventional wisdom of lowering cholesterol at all costs6.
• Weight Management and the Obesity Paradox:
◦ Bartal challenges the idea that simply cutting calories for weight management is effective, arguing it often leads to nutrient deficiencies, slowing healing and overall function7.
◦ He proposes a different approach: eating plenty of animal-based foods four to five days a week, followed by fasting for two or three days, which he believes keeps the body nourished, allows detoxification, and results in healthy weight management as a natural side effect7.
◦ He also reinterprets the obesity paradox, suggesting that some obese individuals who consume a balanced diet including meat and animal fats may have better nutritional status than normal-weight people eating a "toxic plant-based diet" that is "empty of bioavailable nutrients"89.
◦ He argues that body fat is not just "dead weight" but stored energy and a source of crucial resources like acetyl CoA, which the liver uses to produce cholesterol, thus linking body fat to the body's healing capacity9.
• Modern Medicine's Approach to Disease and Treatment:
◦ Bartal criticizes "stage specific medicine," viewing a diagnosis as merely a label for symptoms10. He contends that modern medicine primarily focuses on suppressing symptoms rather than addressing the underlying issue of accumulated damage and toxins10.
◦ He sees harsh treatments often associated with disease not as solutions, but as causes of "more harm" because they fail to target the root cause10.
◦ His unified solution for prevention and recovery is "simple": "remove as much of the offenders as possible while nourishing the body"11. Offenders include malnutrition (from lack of animal foods), toxins (primarily from plant-based and processed foods, but also environmental pollution, mental trauma, and radiation), while nourishment comes from maximizing animal-based foods11.
• The Historical Origins and Control of Modern Medicine:
◦ Bartal makes "explosive claims" that healthcare and medical science were "hijacked by John D. Rockefeller in the 1800s"12.
◦ He alleges that Rockefeller supported Louis Pasteur's "faulty germ theory" to profit by selling medicines made from his oil business's waste products12.
◦ This, Bartal claims, led to the founding of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (RMR) in 1901, which allegedly controlled medical practice and suppressed alternative healing methods that didn't fit the new drug-focused model13.
◦ From Bartal's perspective, the goal shifted from treating root causes to merely labeling and suppressing symptoms with drugs, creating a "perfect business model" of dependency and constant revenue1314.
◦ He extends this to the food industry, calling plant-based and processed foods "slave-based foods," which he claims are deliberately used to make populations "weak, docile, dumbed down, and ridden with disease," fostering dependency on what he calls "the social beast system" (governments, healthcare systems)14. He asserts that the food and pharmaceutical industries are ultimately controlled by the same elitists14.
Bartal's article is a "radical call" to reconsider our species-appropriate diet and to question long-held beliefs about health, challenging whether modern health problems stem from being out of sync with fundamental human biology1516.

Discuss Animal-Based Diet.
Yoken Bartal's article presents a radical alternative view on human biology, nutrition, and disease, fundamentally questioning established medical ideas12. A central pillar of his framework is the concept of an animal-based diet.
Here's a breakdown of Bartal's perspective on an animal-based diet:
• Humans as Obligate Hypercarnivores: Bartal makes the bold foundational claim that humans are obligate hypercarnivores, meaning our species is biologically designed to thrive almost entirely on animal products3. He views anything plant-based as inherently toxic for humans3. This belief stands in stark contrast to the widespread idea that humans can thrive on plants and processed foods, which Bartal labels a "deception" and the root cause of disease3.
• "Lifesaving" Animal Fats: He suggests that what is conventionally labeled "unhealthy," particularly animal fats, might sometimes be more beneficial than standard "eat healthy" advice4. Bartal describes these fats as "lifesaving," containing essential bioactive vitamins that he believes are either absent from or poorly absorbed from plant sources4. He encourages a complete flip in our understanding of nutrition4.
• Nourishment and Healing:
◦ According to Bartal, a primary "offender" causing damage to the body is malnutrition, specifically not getting enough animal-based foods5.
◦ His solution is a two-part approach: removing "offenders" and maximizing nourishment with animal-based foods5. This is presented as common sense for healthy cells and for the body to fix itself5.
◦ He explicitly states that a balanced animal-based diet is universally good for healing6. He even suggests that specific organ meats can target certain areas of the body6.
• Weight Management and Detoxification: Rather than simply cutting calories, Bartal proposes eating plenty of animal-based foods four to five days a week, followed by fasting for the remaining two to three days7. His argument is that this approach keeps the body nourished and allows it to detoxify properly, with healthy weight management becoming a natural side effect rather than something forced through deprivation7.
• Low Cholesterol as a Problem: Bartal argues that low cholesterol in individuals with conditions like cancer or heart disease is "extremely bad." This is because, in his view, it signifies the body's lack of key resources needed for healing. He suggests that someone with higher cholesterol in these situations might live longer due to their body actively trying to repair itself8. This perspective is implicitly supported by an animal-based diet, which would likely provide the building blocks for such "life-saving cholesterol."
• Universal Principles: Bartal emphasizes that all humans share the same basic physiology and react similarly to nutrients6. Therefore, the principles of an animal-based diet apply universally, with the only difference between individuals being their accumulated "toxic load and damage"6.
• Transition to an Animal-Based Diet: He advises a slow transition to an animal-based diet, recommending 8 to 16 weeks9. This gradual approach allows the body time to adjust, helps avoid "shock," and supports changes in digestion, initiating the healing process in a managed way9.
• Controversial Historical Context: Bartal makes highly provocative claims, calling plant-based and processed foods "slave-based foods." He alleges that these diets are deliberately used to make populations "weak, docile, dumbed down, and ridden with disease," making them dependent on what he calls the "social beast system" (governments, healthcare systems)10. He asserts that the food and pharmaceutical industries are controlled by the same "elitists" who manipulate people's health through diet10.
• Overall Message: Bartal's core message is a radical call to remove "offenders"—primarily plants, processed foods, toxins, and trauma—and to return to an animal-based diet for genuine healing and health11. He suggests that many modern health problems might stem from being "out of sync with our fundamental biology"12.

Discuss Cholesterol Reinterpretation.
Yoken Bartol's "Radical Health Blueprint" presents a radically different interpretation of cholesterol compared to conventional medical wisdom1. He completely turns the established idea of high cholesterol being a problem on its head1.
Here are the key aspects of Bartol's reinterpretation of cholesterol:
• Cholesterol as a Solution, Not a Problem: Bartol argues that cholesterol is not the enemy or a risk factor for heart disease, but rather the body's solution1. He views it as the substance your body actively uses to heal damaged tissue1.
• Role in Repairing Damage: He specifically highlights cholesterol's role in repairing blood vessels when there is cardiovascular damage1.
• High Cholesterol as a Sign of Healing: From his perspective, high cholesterol does not indicate a problem, but rather that your body is actively healing1. It signifies that the body is working hard to fix existing damage, acting as a sign of repair and progress, not the cause of illness itself1.
• Consequences of Suppressing Cholesterol: Bartol suggests that suppressing cholesterol, as often recommended, might actually interfere with the body's natural healing processes1.
• Low Cholesterol in Sick Individuals: He makes the striking claim that low cholesterol in someone already dealing with serious conditions like cancer or heart disease is "extremely bad"2. This is because, in his view, it indicates that the body lacks the crucial resources needed to perform healing2.
• Higher Cholesterol for Longevity in Illness: Conversely, Bartol argues that someone with high cholesterol in these situations would actually "last longer" because their body is actively attempting to repair itself2. This directly challenges the conventional wisdom of lowering cholesterol at all costs, positing that it's necessary for healing and a lack of it could signify real trouble2.
• Connection to Acetyl-CoA and Body Fat: This perspective also links back to the concept of body fat not being just dead weight3. Body fat, according to Bartol, can provide crucial resources like Acetyl-CoA, especially when an individual is sick or fasting3. The liver then uses Acetyl-CoA to produce the "life-saving cholesterol"3. Thus, body fat is connected to the body's ability to heal itself through cholesterol production when needed3.
In essence, Bartol pushes for a massive reframe of cholesterol, from being seen as a dangerous substance to an essential component of the body's repair team1.

Discuss Medical System History.
Yoken Bartol's "Radical Health Blueprint" includes explosive claims about the origins and historical development of our current medical system, suggesting it was fundamentally altered from its true purpose1. Bartol presents a narrative where modern medicine's trajectory was not organically scientific but rather driven by specific, profit-motivated interests12.
Here are the key historical claims Bartol makes regarding the medical system:
• Hijacking by John D. Rockefeller: Bartol alleges that healthcare and medical science were "hijacked" by John D. Rockefeller in the 1800s1. This was not a gradual evolution, but a deliberate redirection of the medical field1.
• Support for Louis Pasteur's Germ Theory: According to Bartol, Rockefeller supported Louis Pasteur's germ theory, which Bartol refers to as "faulty"1. The motivation for this support was not scientific advancement but Rockefeller's perceived "huge opportunity to make money" by selling medicine derived from the waste products of his oil business1. Bartol suggests this was a "deliberate profit-motivated move" that fundamentally shifted the entire direction of medicine1.
• Founding of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (RMR): This alleged hijacking, according to Bartol, directly led to the founding of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (RMR) in 19012. He argues that this institute was instrumental in establishing a system to control how medicine was practiced2.
• Suppression of Alternative Healing Methods: A critical aspect of the RMR's alleged role, as per Bartol, was to suppress any alternative healing methods that did not align with this new, drug-focused model2.
• Shift to Symptom Suppression and Dependency: Bartol claims that the fundamental goal of medicine changed. Instead of focusing on treating the root causes of illness, medicine, under this new system, became primarily focused on "just labeling symptoms and then suppressing those symptoms with drugs"2. This approach, he argues, created a system of dependency2.
• A "Perfect Business Model": Bartol describes this drug-focused model as a "perfect business model"3. He explains that people need more drugs to manage the side effects of initial medications, ensuring a "constant revenue stream" for pharmaceutical companies3.
• Connection to the Food Industry and Social Control: Bartol extends this historical critique to the modern food industry. He claims that plant-based and processed foods are "slave-based foods" that are "deliberately used to make populations... weak, docile, dumbed down, and ridden with disease"3. He asserts that this strategy makes people dependent on what he calls the "social beast system," which includes governments and healthcare systems. He further claims that the food and pharmaceutical industries are ultimately controlled by the same "elitists" who maintain a tight grip on people's health3.
In summary, Bartol's historical account paints a picture of a medical system that was deliberately manipulated for profit, shifting its focus from genuine healing to symptom management and dependency through a drug-centric approach, and extending its influence into the food supply as a means of control1....

TEXT
Welcome curious minds to another deep dive and welcome to the Lenny and Maria Sanchez podcast and video show. Today we're plunging into well an incredibly provocative piece. It really challenges much of what we thought we knew about modern health and medicine. Yeah, it's a deep dive into a perspective suggesting our current understanding might be, and these are the author's words, backwards and wrong.
We're going to be really digging into excerpts from an article called Cuomo's paradox is not a paradox. Everything about modern healthcare and medicine is backwards. wrong. It's by Yoken Bartol. And this piece uh it doesn't just critique modern healthcare, basically dismantles it, offering this truly radical alternative view on human biology, nutrition, and well, disease itself. So, our mission today is pretty straightforward. We want to unpack the core arguments, the key takeaways that are presented in this source. It's definitely a journey into a very specific and sometimes, let's be honest, intensely challenging viewpoint. We'll break down the major claims, just helping you understand the narrative within the material. And it's really crucial to remember as we go through this. We are exploring the author Yokim Bartal's perspective from his article. Our job here isn't to endorse it, but to help you grasp the narrative he presents. So, yeah, let's get ready to put some uh some long-held beliefs under the microscope.
Absolutely. What's so compelling here, I think, is how it just fundamentally questions these established medical ideas. Bartal isn't suggesting small tweaks. He's proposing this comprehensive, though, yeah, highly controversial alternative framework for everything. Health illness, recovery. We'll be looking deep into his specific claims about diet, his really different take on cholesterol, even his historical account of modern medicine's origins, all as he lays it out. It definitely demands a careful look.
It really does. This isn't just, you know, debating the latest diet fat. It's about rethinking the very foundations. So, okay, let's start exploring Bartl's uh fascinating and often startling claims. Okay, so let's unpack this central idea first. Bartl's article starts by tackling something he calls Quomo's paradox. Now, this paradox, apparently named after Professor Raphael Cuomo, it highlights something kind of interesting that's been observed. Sometimes behaviors we usually think of as unhealthy, like carrying extra weight, moderate drinking, even having higher cholesterol. Sometimes these things actually correlate with better survival rates, but only in people who already have serious conditions like cancer or heart disease. It's a statistical curveball really. But Barl, well, the title gives it away, right? He just flatly says this is not a paradox. Not at all. He argues pretty forcefully that modern healthcare and doctors specifically are, in his words, completely clueless about human biology, physiology, and biochemistry. Strong statement. And from his perspective, it's this lack of understanding that leads them to completely misinterpret these observations. They see a paradox where according to his framework, there isn't one. He's essentially saying the advice we usually get is often inverted and totally wrong because it just doesn't line up with how our bodies actually work biologically.
Right? And if we connect that to the bigger picture Bartol is painting. He makes this really bold foundational claim. He says humans are obligate hyper carnivores unent which basically means from his viewpoint our species is biologically designed to thrive almost entirely on animal products. And he views anything plant-based as well inherently toxic for us.
He argues this widespread belief. He calls it a deception that humans are fine with plants and processed foods. That's the root cause of what he calls disease. So this goes way beyond just diet tips. It's like a redefinition of our basic nutritional needs as the species,
which naturally raises a huge question for us and for you listening. If the standard health advice we've all heard for years is according to Bartal so fundamentally wrong, what's his alternative? Well, he suggests that what we label unhealthy might sometimes be more beneficial than the standard eat healthy advice, especially when it comes to animal fats. He calls these fats lifesaving, says they contain essential bioactive vitamins that he believes you just don't get or can't absorb. well from plant sources. He's basically asking us to flip our whole understanding of nutrition. Okay, now let's get into an area where Bart's view gets really interesting cholesterol. I mean, for years, right, we've been told high cholesterol is bad, a major risk factor for heart disease, something you got to lower. But Bartal offers this radically different take. Completely turns that idea on its head. He argues cholesterol isn't the problem. It's actually the solution. It's the stuff your body uses to heal damaged tissue. He points specifically to its role in repairing blood vessels when there's cardiovascular damage. So from his angle, high cholesterol doesn't mean you have a problem. It just means your body is actively healing. It's working hard to fix existing damage. It's a sign of repair and progress, not the cause of the illness itself. That's I mean, that's a massive reframe. Thinking of it not as the enemy, but as part of your body's repair team. It makes you wonder then if suppressing cholesterol, like we're often told to do, might actually be getting in the way of healing.
Exactly. And building on that, Barthol makes an even more striking claim.
Yeah. He says low cholesterol in someone who's already dealing with cancer or heart disease is extremely bad.
Why? Because in his view it shows the body doesn't have the key resources it needs to actually do the healing. So someone with high cholesterol in those situations would actually he argues last longer because their body is actively trying to repair itself. This just directly challenges that conventional wisdom about lowering cholesterol at all costs. He's saying it's necessary for healing and not having enough enough could be a sign of real trouble.
That is a huge shift. And this focus on supporting the body's natural processes. It seems to extend even to weight management, right? Which so many of us think about. He offers a very different path than just, you know, cutting calories. He basically says just eating less often leads to nutrient deficiencies and that slows down healing and just overall function,
right? So instead he proposes something different. Eating plenty of animal-based foods like four or five days a week and then fasting for the other two or three days. And his argument is that This keeps the body nourished and allows it to detoxify properly. Healthy weight management then becomes sort of a natural side effect, not something you force through deprivation.
Interesting. Okay, moving on. Bartl's article also takes aim at the idea of stage specific medicine. You know how the approach changes drastically once someone gets a diagnosis. He argues that a diagnosis is often just well a label slapped onto a bunch of symptoms and that modern medicine from his perspective mainly focuses on just suppressing those symptoms, not fixing the underlying issue, which he sees as accumulated damage and toxins.
Yeah, exactly. From Bartl's viewpoint, if you've developed symptoms, you've got that disease label, you've already kind of missed the boat on prevention. He sees those harsh treatments we often associate with disease not as solutions, but as things that actually cause more harm because they don't target the root cause.
So, what's his solution then?
It's simple. In his view, remove as much of the offenders as possible while nourishing the body. That's it. One strategy. Doesn't matter if you're trying to prevent something or recover from it.
Okay. So, a unified strategy. What are these offenders and how does nourishment work in his model?
Well, according to Bartol, the body takes damage from a few key sources. Malnutrition is a big one, meaning not enough animal-based foods. Then there are toxins. He primarily blames plant-based and processed foods for those, but also includes environmental pollution, mental trauma, even radiation. So, the only way to heal, prevent, or recover is that this two-part approach. Get rid of those offenders as much as possible and at the same time maximize nourishment with animal-based foods. He presents this as just common sense really essential for your cells to be healthy and for the body to fix itself.
So if it's common sense, are there universal principles here? Does this apply to everyone?
He says yes. Bartal emphasizes that all humans share the same basic physiology. We all react to nutrients in pretty much the same way. The only real difference between people, he claims, is the toxic load and damage we have accumulated over time.
Right? So, a balanced animal-based diet, according to him, is universally good for healing. He even suggests specific organ meats for targeting certain areas of the body, but he doesn't suggest jumping in overnight, does he?
No, definitely not. He advises a slow transition, like 8 to 16 weeks. This gives the body time to adjust, avoid shock, get digestion working differently, and just gradually start that healing process. It's a complete overhaul, but a managed one.
Okay, let's turn to another really counterintuitive point BL raises. This one is about the obesity paradox. We hear about this sometimes, how some people classified as obese might, weirdly have better health outcomes in certain situations than normal weight people. Bartl takes that idea and runs with it. He suggests that not all obese people are automatically severely overfed and malnourished. That's key. He actually argues some obese individuals who eat a relatively balanced diet and critically one that includes meat and animal fats might have better nutritional status than say a normal weight person eating what he calls a toxic plant-based diet.
A diet he claims is basically empty of bioavailable nutrients.
Exactly. So from his perspective, that obese person with better nutrition actually has better odds of recovery from illness than a malnourished person who happens to be thin. And he also points out that body fat isn't just dead weight. It's stored energy, yes, but it can also provide crucial resources like acetal COA, especially when you're sick or fasting. Ah, acetal COA. That ties back to the cholesterol point, doesn't it?
It does. He says the liver uses acetal COA to make that life-saving cholesterol we talked about earlier. So, body fat becomes linked to the body's ability to heal itself when needed.
This whole perspective on obesity then leads into some really uh let's say explosive claims Bartle makes about where our current medical system even came from. He puts forward this idea that healthc care and medical science were, and this is his term, hijacked by John Davis. Rockefeller in the 1800s.
Wow. Okay. Hijack. That sounds pretty dramatic.
It is. Barl alleges that Rockefeller supported Louis Pasteur's faulty germ theory. Why? Because Rockefeller apparently saw a huge opportunity to make money selling medicine made from the waste products of his oil business. So, the author is suggesting this was a deliberate profit motivated move that shifted the entire direction of medicine.
And according to Bartal, this wasn't just a one-time thing. He claims it led directly to the founding of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research, RMR, back in 1901. And this institute, Bartal argues, basically set up a system to control how medicine was practiced and importantly to suppress any alternative healing methods that didn't fit this new drugfocused model.
Right? The goal from Bart Hull's perspective fundamentally changed. Instead of trying to treat the root causes of illness, medicine became focused on just labeling symptoms and then suppressing those symptoms with drugs, creating essentially a of dependency.
He actually describes it as a perfect business model, doesn't he? People need more drugs to manage the side effects of the first drug, so they keep coming back. A constant revenue stream.
And what's really striking is how Bartal connects this historical narrative directly to the food industry today. He uses incredibly strong language here.
He calls plant-based and processed foods slavebased foods.
That's very strong language.
It is. And his stated reasoning, as we interpreted from the article, is his belief that these diets are deliberately used to make popular ations, and I'm quoting him here, weak, docsil, dumbed down, and ridden with disease. This, he claims, makes people dependent on what he calls the social beast system, governments, health care systems. He asserts the food and pharmaceutical industries are ultimately controlled by the same elitists keeping a tight grip on people's health. It's um a very provocative framing of control in our food supply.
Joe, what does this all mean for you listening? This deep dive into Yoko Bartal's perspective, it really offers a dramatic different way to look at health, diet, even the history of modern medicine. It seriously challenges us to reconsider things like cholesterol, body fat, and these historical influences, Bartal claims, shaped our current understanding. It's definitely a call to question things we might take for granted.
And it raises that crucial question, doesn't it? How do we critically evaluate information that just turns conventional wisdom completely upside down like this? Bartle's article basically pushes for a total re-evaluation of our species appropriate diet, a hard look at what truly nourishes us versus what might, in his view, be causing long-term damage. He really makes you consider if many of our modern health problems could simply be because we're out of sync with our fundamental biology.
Yeah. The core message from this specific source from Bartol is this radical call. Remove the offenders, mainly plants, processed foods, toxins, trauma, as he defines them, and go back to an animal-based diet for real healing and health. It is certainly a lot to chew on mentally speaking, and it encourages us to keep exploring and keep questioning the health information we receive. If there's even a kernel of truth in what Barl is claiming, it might suggest the path to real health isn't about the newest superfood trend, but maybe about some much older, perhaps overlooked dietary wisdom.

Transforming Health Paradigms: An Examination of Bartoll’s Radical Blueprint for Human Biology and Wellness
Transforming Health Paradigms: An Examination of Bartoll’s Radical Blueprint for Human Biology and Wellness
Executive Summary
Executive Summary
This report provides an in-depth analysis of Joachim Bartoll’s provocative framework, which fundamentally challenges the tenets of modern healthcare and medicine, asserting them to be "backwards and wrong". Bartoll posits that human beings are "obligate hyper carnivores," biologically designed to thrive almost exclusively on animal products, while plant-based and processed foods are inherently toxic and the root cause of "disease".
Bartoll refutes what is known as "Cuomo’s paradox," an observation that seemingly unhealthy behaviors (like carrying extra weight or having elevated cholesterol) sometimes correlate with better survival in already ill individuals. He argues this is not a paradox but a testament to modern medicine's profound ignorance of human physiology and biochemistry. From his perspective, cholesterol is not a problem but the body's essential healing agent, and body fat serves as a crucial energy reserve for recovery.
The report delves into Bartoll's alternative model, emphasizing that optimal health and recovery depend on a unified strategy: removing all "offenders" (malnourishment from non-animal foods, toxins from plants/processed items, environmental pollution, mental trauma, and radiation) and maximizing nourishment through an animal-based diet.
Furthermore, Bartoll presents a controversial historical narrative, alleging that modern medical science was "hijacked" by John D. Rockefeller in the 1800s. This alleged hijacking, he claims, led to the promotion of Louis Pasteur’s "faulty germ theory" and the establishment of a drug-focused system designed for profit and societal control, rather than genuine healing.
Bartoll's framework calls for a radical re-evaluation of established health beliefs, advocating for a return to what he deems our "species-appropriate, species-specific natural human diet" to achieve true health and healing.
1. Introduction: Challenging the Foundations of Modern Health
1. Introduction: Challenging the Foundations of Modern Health
Joachim Bartoll’s extensive work, spanning over three decades in health and fitness, culminates in a radical critique of contemporary medical practice and nutritional science. In his article, "Cuomo’s Paradox Is Not A Paradox: Everything About Modern Health Care And Medicine Is Backwards And Wrong!", Bartoll asserts that the entirety of modern healthcare and medicine is fundamentally "inverted and totally wrong". He contends that conventional medical wisdom often misinterprets biological realities, leading to advice and treatments that are counterproductive to human health.
The core of Bartoll's argument rests on a foundational claim about human biology: humans are "obligate hyper carnivores". This means, in his view, that our species is biologically designed to thrive almost exclusively on animal products, and that anything plant-based is "inherently toxic". He describes the widespread belief that humans are omnivores, capable of tolerating plant-based and processed foods without harm, as a "deception" and the primary cause of "disease".
This report aims to unpack Bartoll's comprehensive, albeit highly controversial, alternative framework for health, illness, and recovery. By exploring his specific claims regarding diet, cholesterol, weight management, and his historical account of modern medicine’s origins, we seek to understand the narrative he presents and the far-reaching implications of his "radical alternative view on human biology, nutrition, and well, disease itself". His perspective demands a critical examination of long-held beliefs and established medical ideas.
2. Deconstructing Cuomo's Paradox: A Flaw in Modern Interpretation
2. Deconstructing Cuomo's Paradox: A Flaw in Modern Interpretation
Bartoll initiates his critique by addressing "Cuomo’s paradox," a concept coined by Professor Raphael Cuomo at UC San Diego School of Medicine. This paradox describes the observation that behaviors typically considered unhealthy—such as carrying extra weight, consuming moderate amounts of alcohol, or having elevated cholesterol levels—sometimes correlate with better survival rates in individuals already suffering from serious conditions like cancer or heart disease. Conventional medical understanding views this as a "counterintuitive medical reality" that challenges a one-size-fits-all approach to health advice.
However, Bartoll unequivocally declares that this is "not a paradox" at all. He asserts that the perceived paradox arises from the profound "incompetence and ignorance within modern 'health care' and among gullible indoctrinated doctors" who lack a fundamental understanding of human physiology and biochemistry. Bartoll argues that modern healthcare is "completely clueless about human biology, physiology and biochemistry," leading to an inverted and "totally wrong" interpretation of these observations.
From Bartoll's perspective, the "health advice that keeps you from getting sick" is often misaligned with human biology and physiology. He posits that what is conventionally labeled as "eating unhealthy" might, in fact, be "more healthy than what is considered to be 'eating healthy'". This is particularly true, he claims, when considering "life-saving animal fats," which he states contain "all essential vitamins in bioactive format". He suggests that the "paradox" only exists because the advice given is based on a flawed understanding of what truly supports human health. Instead, Bartoll argues, the observations simply highlight that certain behaviors, particularly those involving animal products, are actually beneficial, especially when the body is in a state of healing or severe illness.
3. The Central Role of Cholesterol: Healing, Not Harm
3. The Central Role of Cholesterol: Healing, Not Harm
One of Bartoll's most striking claims directly challenges conventional wisdom regarding cholesterol. For years, the medical establishment has portrayed high cholesterol as a primary risk factor for heart disease, advocating for its reduction. Bartoll, however, completely reverses this narrative, asserting that cholesterol is not the problem but the solution; it is the body's intrinsic mechanism for healing damaged tissue.
He explains that the body utilizes cholesterol specifically to repair damaged tissue, with a particular focus on blood vessels in cases of cardiovascular damage. Therefore, according to Bartoll, elevated cholesterol levels are not a sign of illness but rather an indicator that the body is actively engaged in a healing process. It signifies that the body has the necessary resources to address existing damage. He emphasizes that high cholesterol simply means "the body is trying to heal damaged tissue. It’s neither good nor bad, it is a necessity".
Conversely, Bartoll considers low cholesterol in individuals already suffering from conditions like cancer or heart disease to be "extremely bad". This is because, in his framework, low cholesterol indicates that the body lacks the vital resources required for healing. He argues that someone with high cholesterol in these circumstances would "last longer" than someone with low cholesterol, as the former's body is actively attempting to repair itself, while the latter's body is merely "taking damage" without the means to heal. This perspective directly contradicts the conventional emphasis on lowering cholesterol "at all costs," suggesting instead that insufficient cholesterol could be a sign of profound underlying health issues like "inflammation, malnutrition and liver dysfunction".
Bartoll asserts that the only reason cholesterol has been "vilified" is due to the damage that LDL (Low-Density Lipoprotein) can sustain through glycation, a process caused by elevated blood glucose levels from carbohydrate consumption. He contends that when individuals consume carbohydrates, the resulting high blood glucose can damage LDL carrying cholesterol to damaged tissues, leading to plaque formation. Thus, he argues, the problem lies not with cholesterol itself, but with "a very unnatural diet that we are not constructed for". Bartoll urges a shift in focus from cholesterol levels to identifying and removing "what is causing the damage" and ensuring the body is "nourished and de-stressed as possible".
4. Rethinking Weight and the "Obesity Paradox"
4. Rethinking Weight and the "Obesity Paradox"
Bartoll extends his re-interpretation of health markers to the phenomenon known as the "obesity paradox." This observation notes that heavier patients sometimes exhibit better survival rates once they are ill, particularly in cardiovascular and cancer care. Bartoll, consistent with his overall framework, dismisses this as "not a paradox".
He explains this counterintuitive finding by suggesting that not all obese individuals are necessarily "severely overfed but malnourished". Instead, he proposes that many obese people, who might consume a "somewhat balanced diet with some meat and animal fats" alongside less healthy options, could possess a "better nutritional status" than "normal weight" individuals who follow what he calls a "toxic plant-based diet". Bartoll claims such plant-based diets are "totally void of any bioavailable nutrients and especially the life-saving animal fats". Therefore, an obese person with superior nutritional reserves would inherently have "better odds at recovery if you have a better nutritional status than someone at normal weight that is malnourished".
Beyond nutritional status, Bartoll highlights the often-overlooked role of body fat as a crucial biological resource. He details that body fat, primarily composed of triglycerides, includes a significant distribution of saturated, monounsaturated, and diunsaturated fatty acids. In situations of severe illness, starvation, or fasting, this stored body fat is broken down and utilized as energy. Critically, the breakdown of saturated fats forms acetyl CoA, which the liver can then use to produce "life-saving cholesterol". This mechanism means that having "some extra body fat when really ill and you have trouble eating enough" can ensure the body's continued capacity to produce cholesterol and facilitate healing.
Bartoll also offers a distinct approach to weight management, moving away from simple calorie restriction. He argues that merely "eating less" often leads to nutrient deficiencies, which in turn "slows down healing and detoxification even further," directly contradicting the biological principle of maintaining nourishment for homeostasis. His proposed strategy for healthy weight loss involves consuming "as much animal-based foods as you can 4-5 days a week and then fasting during the remaining 2-3 days". This method, he asserts, keeps the body nourished while allowing for proper detoxification, with healthy weight management being a natural consequence rather than a forced outcome. He clarifies that obesity itself is harmful due to the "inappropriate foods" that cause body fat gain, increasing "toxic load and the damage to the body," rather than body fat being the inherent problem.
5. The Species-Appropriate Diet: An Animal-Based Imperative
5. The Species-Appropriate Diet: An Animal-Based Imperative
At the very heart of Joachim Bartoll's alternative health framework is the unequivocal assertion that humans are "obligate hyper carnivores". This fundamental biological identity, he argues, dictates our "species-appropriate, species-specific natural diet". For Bartoll, this means that the human body is designed to thrive almost exclusively on animal products, and any deviation from this natural diet is a direct cause of illness and damage.
Bartoll labels the widespread belief that humans can tolerate and consume plant-based and processed foods without harm as a "deception," which he holds responsible for the emergence of "disease". He considers anything plant-based to be "inherently toxic" and stresses the importance of avoiding "any kind of artificial products with chemicals". Processed foods are also classified as toxic offenders.
According to Bartoll, the body accumulates damage from several key sources:
Malnutrition: Primarily defined as "not eating enough animal-based foods".
Toxins: Largely derived from "the wrong plant-based and processed diet," but also including environmental pollution.
Environmental factors: Including "environmental pollution" and "radiation".
Mental trauma.
Given these sources of damage, Bartoll presents a singular, unified strategy for healing, prevention, and recovery: "remove as much of the offenders as possible while nourishing the body". This strategy applies universally, regardless of whether one is trying to "reduce your risk of getting sick" or recover from an established "disease". He contends that this approach is "that simple and it should be common sense".
For nourishment, Bartoll emphasizes the critical role of animal-based foods, including "animal fats, animal proteins and all the animal-based vitamins and minerals and other co-factors". He claims that a "balanced animal-based diet will serve anyone who is trying to heal and recover". Furthermore, he suggests that specific "organ meats" can be incorporated depending on the particular area of the body one is trying to heal.
Recognizing the significant shift required for most people, Bartoll advises a slow and managed transition to an animal-based diet. He recommends a period of "8 to 16 weeks" to gradually increase animal-based foods while simultaneously phasing out all "toxic," plant-based, and processed foods. This gradual approach is designed to help the body "heal and adjust stomach acid, digestive enzymes, and your gut microbiome without shocking the body". He stresses that healing takes time, especially after decades of consuming inappropriate foods, and "will not heal in a few months or even a year".
6. The Flaws of Modern Medicine: Symptoms vs. Root Causes
6. The Flaws of Modern Medicine: Symptoms vs. Root Causes
Bartoll’s framework is built upon a profound disillusionment with modern medicine, which he consistently describes as "backwards and wrong" and "completely clueless" about human biology. He identifies several critical flaws in its approach:
Focus on Symptom Suppression, Not Root Causes: Bartoll argues that modern medicine primarily focuses on diagnosing and suppressing symptoms rather than addressing the underlying problems that cause them. He states that a "diagnosis" is simply "based on symptoms" and that the medical establishment's goal is to manage these manifestations with drugs, creating a cycle of dependency. From his perspective, if one has already developed symptoms or a "disease," it indicates a failure in preventing sickness due to "accumulated toxins and damage".
Detrimental "Harsh Treatments": Bartoll strongly advises against what he calls "retarded 'harsh treatments'" often associated with modern medical interventions. He contends that these treatments are not aimed at the underlying causes of declining health and can, in fact, inflict "more harm". He uses the example of reducing cholesterol, calling it "the stupidest thing you could ever do" because it actively works against the body's natural healing processes. Similarly, he warns against aggressive "prevention targets" for frail patients, suggesting they "might not improve survival and could conflict with maintaining strength and quality of life".
Misguided "Personalized Nutrition": While modern medicine might advocate for "personalized nutrition after diagnosis," Bartoll argues that this concept is flawed unless it acknowledges the fundamental truth that "humans are obligate hyper carnivores". He emphasizes that "we all share the same physiology and we all react to nutrients the same way". The only variable, he states, is the "toxic load and the damage we have accumulated". Therefore, true "individualization" should focus on specific nutrients (like organ meats) to target damaged areas within the context of a universal animal-based diet, rather than entirely different dietary strategies based on a misunderstanding of human biology.
Misunderstanding of Weight Loss: Bartoll criticizes the conventional advice to "lose weight" by simply eating less, as this often leads to "even less nutrients and even more nutrient deficiencies," thereby slowing down healing and detoxification. This approach, he states, "goes against the simple biological law of staying nourished to keep homeostasis".
View on Alcohol: Bartoll is unequivocal in his condemnation of alcohol, calling it a "very potent poison that can easily kill". He suggests that consuming alcohol indicates self-hatred and a need to address underlying issues. For individuals with addiction, he recommends a slow, phased reduction to avoid extreme withdrawal symptoms that could "stress the body to such lengths that they could hurt themselves or bounce back to the bottle".
Bartoll concludes that modern medical science operates within "a false narrative, a faulty germ-theory-based and omnivore-based illusion of the human body that has no resemblance to real biology, physiology or biochemistry". He sees its practices as "complete nonsense".
7. Historical Hijack: The Rockefeller Influence and Germ Theory
7. Historical Hijack: The Rockefeller Influence and Germ Theory
A cornerstone of Bartoll’s critique of modern medicine is his controversial historical account, alleging that the entire system was "hijacked" by powerful figures for profit and control. He specifically points to John Davison Rockefeller Sr. in the 1800s as the orchestrator of this fundamental shift.
Bartoll claims that Rockefeller saw "an enormous potential" for financial gain in supporting Louis Pasteur's "faulty germ theory". This theory, which posits that specific microorganisms cause specific diseases, provided a framework that, according to Bartoll, was ripe for commercial exploitation. The "lie" of germ theory, in Bartoll's view, opened the door for a new industry.
This alleged profit motive culminated in the founding of the Rockefeller Institute for Medical Research (RIMR) in 1901. Bartoll asserts that this institute was established as a means to "sell all the waste from oil production in the form of 'medicine'". He claims that Rockefeller used his immense wealth and influence to systematically "shut down anyone who did not practice 'medicine' as taught by his medical license". This, Bartoll argues, marked a critical turning point, leading to a deviation from "logic and common sense" in healthcare.
The consequence of this "hijack," according to Bartoll, was a profound and detrimental shift in the focus of medicine:
From Treating Causes to Suppressing Symptoms: Society moved away from identifying and removing the underlying "causing offender of 'disease'". Instead, the emphasis became "simply labeling symptoms and trying to suppress them with drugs".
Creation of a "Perfect Business Model": Bartoll describes this new model as a "perfect business model" because it created a continuous demand for pharmaceutical products. Patients would experience temporary relief from symptom suppression but, because the "underlying problem still remained," they would inevitably "come back for more". Furthermore, the "side-effects from the drugs that had to be suppressed by other drugs" ensured a constant revenue stream.
Establishment of Dependency: This system, Bartoll claims, fostered a cycle of dependency, where individuals became reliant on the medical establishment for their ongoing health issues.
Bartoll concludes that John D. Rockefeller was an "evil genius who created the largest industry in the world, and all based on lies and deceit". This historical narrative forms the basis for his profound distrust of modern "science" and its current practices.
8. The Diabolic Relationship: Food, Pharma, and Societal Control
8. The Diabolic Relationship: Food, Pharma, and Societal Control
Building upon his historical critique of modern medicine, Bartoll posits a deeper, more insidious connection between the food and pharmaceutical industries, framed as a mechanism for societal control. He describes this as a "diabolic relationship" orchestrated by the "same elitists" who, he claims, maintain an "iron-clad grip" on the majority of the population.
Bartoll uses exceptionally strong and provocative language to describe the role of certain foods, referring to plant-based and processed foods as "slave-based foods". His reasoning is that these "inappropriate foods" are deliberately introduced to support population growth, but more significantly, as a "control tool". He asserts that individuals who consume these foods will inevitably "damage their bodies, get weak, docile, dumbed-down, and ridden with disease".
This resulting state of physical and mental debilitation, Bartoll argues, leads to a critical outcome: dependency on "the social beast system". This "social beast system" encompasses governments and "health care," creating a populace that is too unhealthy, too docile, and too reliant to challenge the established order. By making people sick and dependent on the system for their perceived "health," the controlling elitists ensure their power.
Bartoll's claims suggest a highly orchestrated system where:
The Food Industry (producing "slave-based foods") generates chronic illness and weakness through toxic and nutritionally deficient products.
The Pharmaceutical Industry (a legacy of Rockefeller's alleged hijacking) then steps in to "treat" these illnesses with drugs that suppress symptoms but do not cure, perpetuating the cycle of dependency and generating continuous profit.
Both industries are controlled by the same powerful "elitists," ensuring a cohesive strategy to maintain their "tight grip" on the population.
This provocative framing by Bartoll challenges listeners and readers to critically evaluate the information they receive about health and nutrition. He implies that many of our modern health problems are not simply individual failings but the result of a deliberate, systemic effort to disconnect humanity from its fundamental biology and thereby exert control. His work encourages a deep questioning of "conventional wisdom" and a re-evaluation of what constitutes a "species appropriate diet" for "real healing and health".
9. Conclusion & Recommendations
9. Conclusion & Recommendations
Joachim Bartoll’s framework offers a profoundly radical and comprehensive challenge to prevailing paradigms in health, nutrition, and medicine. His central thesis is that modern healthcare is fundamentally "backwards and wrong," stemming from a foundational misunderstanding of human biology and an alleged historical "hijacking" of medical science for profit and control.
The key takeaways from Bartoll’s perspective can be summarized as follows:
Human Biology as "Obligate Hyper Carnivores": Humans are biologically designed to thrive on animal-based foods, with plant-based and processed foods being inherently toxic and the primary cause of disease.
Cholesterol as a Healing Agent: High cholesterol indicates active healing and resource availability, while low cholesterol signifies a dangerous lack of the body's healing capacity.
Re-evaluation of Obesity: The "obesity paradox" is explained by the superior nutritional status of some obese individuals who consume animal fats and proteins, and by body fat's role in providing vital healing resources during illness.
Unified Healing Strategy: Optimal health and recovery are achieved by consistently removing "offenders" (malnutrition from non-animal foods, toxins, pollution, trauma, radiation) and nourishing the body with a species-appropriate, animal-based diet.
Critique of Modern Medicine: The system is flawed by its focus on suppressing symptoms with drugs rather than addressing root causes, and its advice is often misaligned with true human physiology.
Historical and Societal Control: Modern medicine and the food industry are allegedly controlled by "elitists" to create dependency and keep populations "weak, docile, dumbed-down, and ridden with disease".
Bartoll's personal journey, including healing his own cancer, failing organs, asthma, and allergies through adopting an animal-based diet and principles of German New Medicine, lends a personal testimony to his convictions. He positions himself as a "truth-seeker" offering "possibilities for you to consider, in which you can ponder the ideas and make your own conclusions".
Based on Bartoll's framework, the primary recommendation for anyone seeking to improve or regain their health is a radical reorientation towards their fundamental biology:
Adopt an Animal-Based Diet: Prioritize animal fats, animal proteins, and animal-based vitamins and minerals as the sole source of species-appropriate nutrition.
Eliminate Offenders: Systematically remove all plant-based and processed foods, artificial products, and chemicals from the diet, and mitigate exposure to environmental pollutants, mental trauma, and radiation.
Gradual Transition: For those currently consuming a conventional diet, undertake a slow transition (8-16 weeks) to an animal-based diet to allow the body to adjust digestive systems and microbiome without shock.
Reframe Health Metrics: Understand that metrics like high cholesterol may indicate healing rather than disease, and support the body’s natural repair mechanisms rather than suppressing them.
Question Conventional Wisdom: Engage in critical evaluation of all health information, recognizing that widely accepted "science" today may be built on flawed premises.
Bartoll offers coaching and consultation services for individuals interested in transitioning to this animal-based lifestyle and addressing health problems according to his principles. His work serves as a powerful call to "keep exploring and keep questioning the health information we receive," suggesting that "the path to real health isn’t about the newest superfood trend, but maybe about some much older, perhaps overlooked dietary wisdom".
