Germ theory as in you ingest a germ, so you get sick. Rather than terrain theory where you’re infected by a germ, but it won’t proliferate if you’re healthy and you don’t get sick.

It’s a very interesting theory and lately I’ve come upon people who purposefully drink or eat the most rotten and gross food and water to try and disprove this theory. Like rotten raw liver, still water from hot ponds, etc.

Not to mention dogs which do this for fun, mine buries raw chicken legs and comes back to them a few days later, she’ll lick my face as a greeting so you’d think I’d get sick (or at least the dog will).

I see so many people who don’t eat fruits at all as a part of their diet and don’t understand where they’re getting their vitamin c. I’m not talking about people who eat keto, I’m well aware sugar competes with vitamin c for absorption, but even so you meet people who eat carnivore + rice or some other carb source which looks like a recipe for scurvy

I’m going to the extreme here, but I’m referring not only to GFGF meat but also the least amount of vaccines in the meat as well.

I’m lucky because in my country you can’t give the cattle hormones nor antibiotics under most conditions but you do need to give cows the FMD vaccine (most farmers only give them that one). It’s pretty benign, only an inactivated virus.

But I’ve found out lamb don’t get any vaccines at all and the meat costs about the same, if we’re getting granular here, does it make any meaningful difference?

One of the big butcher shops here sells exclusively gfgf beef, so I’ve decided to start eating raw liver just because.

I feel I might’ve gone to the extreme of not believing germ theory since I’ve been out camping and drank about a liter of water from a well there before seeing that there were literally tiny swimming things in there and didn’t get sick at all later.

You always hear about the worst diseases from raw organs, like parasites which go in your heart and whatnot. The doctors in my family tell me it’s not uncommon to see people in the emergency room because of raw food poisoning.
