.. Bacon and other kinds of meat

.. Bacon and eggs for breakfast, baked chicken thighs for lunch, juicy, fatty ribeye steak for dinner, and for dessert: bacon.

.. No fruits, no vegetables, no grains.

.. I make exceptions sometimes, but on a *typical* day, that's my diet.

.. And has been for the last four and a half years.

Try This At Home! How I'm Using An Experimental Cancer Therapy On Myself Even Though I've Never Had Cancer
==========================================================================================================

by <NAME>

.. [ 0m30s ] [wait for people to read slide and laugh ]

.. My name is Zooko, I'm the founder of a tech startup here in Boulder, and this is the talk about how I'm using an experimental cancer therapy on myself at home even though I've never had cancer.

.. [ 0m45s ]

.. Meeting my wife and having children with her is the best thing that's ever happened in my life so far, and when she got sick, it was the worst thing that's ever happened in my life so far.

slide 4
=======

.. [ 1m0s] [slide: Amber "before" in early 2009 or 2008?]

.. After we tried everything— *everything* … after we tried everything that the doctors could think of, and she just kept getting worse and worse, then the surprising thing that fixed it was when she started eating only meat.

slide 5
=======

.. [ 1m15s] [slide: Amber in about 2010?]

.. I thought this was kooky and weird, so if you're thinking that this is kooky and weird, I'm right there with you.

.. But in addition to making her well, it had another effect: she lost weight; a *lot* of weight. She went from almost 190 pounds to 130 pounds. And she looks really good.

.. I, too, was fat: I had a big round belly and my butt was big and flabby, and I hated that. So after I saw how healthy and effective the diet was for her I started doing it.

slide 7
=======

.. [ 1m45s ]

.. image:: Mitochondria,_mammalian_lung_-_TEM.jpg
   :width: 800 px

.. Let's look at the science, because I don't want any pseudoscience in my life or in your life. It turns out that the science *totally backs this up*!

.. The way we had learned about this was by rejecting “Health Authorities” and doing our own research. We made a hobby of reading books on the topic and of downloading science papers from the Internet and reading them.<commit_msg>Commit in the middle of doing something, since you insisted.<commit_after>﻿.. -*- coding: utf-8-with-signature-unix; fill-column: 77 -*-
