I got a question last week from reader Barbara about colloidal silver supplements. For the record, this alternative health remedy is both ineffective and unsafe. It’s the latter that concerns me most, of course. A lot of the things we do for health are ineffective (homeopathy for starters; glandulars are another). Others are actually dangerous (the fat-free diet trend of the 90s that’s contributed to our metabolic syndrome epidemic). Colloidal silver supplements fall into the dangerous category.

You’ll want to bookmark this one!
You frequent readers know Mark espouses a lifestyle that is both low-carb and omnivorous. I am a lapsed vegetarian who can’t seem to eat enough fat, while Aaron likes to fuel his long bike rides with sensible whole grains like brown rice. Our staff and families run the gamut from vegetarian to Paleo to, well, the haven’t-outgrown-the-college-diet-diet. And you readers have different diet favorites, from grass-fed beef fans like Crystal to natural soy partakers like Ben to vegans like Mike and Danielle. And there’s no reason we can’t all come together to do what we do best: eat some seriously good food!
These recipes are carb-smart, interesting, and completely suitable for everyone. Yes, that’s right – meals that are both low-carb and vegan-friendly! Meatasauruses, you can always add in the flesh of your choice. 
Some of these recipes do call for dairy, but we’ve done our best to provide vegan alternatives.

Relax.
Lub-DUB, Lub-DUB. Lub-DUB, Lub-DUB.
Listen closely.
Lub-DUB, Lub-DUB.
That is the sound of your heart gently beating.
What an amazing machine. This involuntary muscle rhythmically thumps more than 10,000 times a day without you even giving it a passing thought. That works out to about 2.5 billion continuous beats in an average human life span.

Readers Mike and Danielle wrote last week inquiring as to what vegans can do to stay on a Primal Health path. The full letter is below, but I will draw from a few quotes first to give my thoughts on specific elements.
As you know, I am an omnivore and believe we have clearly evolved as omnivores. (For the record, my wife eats fish and certain protein powders, but is otherwise “vegetarian”; my 13-year-old son is 100% vegetarian and has never eaten flesh in his life; my 16-year-old daughter is omnivorous). Most evolutionary biologists will tell you that there has never been a culture that existed entirely without animal products of any kind, although apparently some Hindu sects claim to have done so. I question even that.
