What Happened During My Speech in State College?
Last week in State College, where Penn State University is located, far more (sick-looking) people attended the meeting on "Sending MECICINE/vaccines to Africa" than my FREE presentation next door (following theirs) on how to NATURALLY balance the food and brain's biochemicals for healthy metabolism. Few people even bothered to come in to try my wife's delicious home-made butternut squash, apple, onion soup served with home-made whole grain sourdough bread, all using our own or local chemical-free organic ingredients. Next door served sugary and preserved snacks like Oreo cookies and processed chemically-laden biscuits. The venue owners did not promote our event but heavily promoted the medicine for Africa event. This was an unpleasant surprise to me because I expected well-degreed university folks in a major college town would be more receptive to my science talks and discussions about metabolic health than my Amish or farmer friends who usually promote, encourage and attend my speeches.
I invited a wealthy-looking (also sick-looking) gentleman who was walking out of the "Medicine for Africa" session to hear my short talk or at least try the soup. He ignored my invitation and sarcastically replied: “Maybe YOU should [also] donate to make Africans HEALTHY.” I reckon he equated Health with Medicine and thought my "metabolic Balance" approach to health is nonsense or Right-Wing MAHA or Robert Kennedy stuff (even though I don’t discuss politics or vaccines in my science-based presentations).
It saddens me that so many Americans feel so powerless, and are so uncurious, about balancing their metabolism and health with little or no medicine. It also bothers me that wealthy yet unhealthy people use the occasion to help poor (usually healthy) Africans to virtue signal about caring about “health” without bothering to understand their own health or to hear a local author spending the last 20 years of his life on studying natural health and offering it for free in his talks or for $12.95 in his book (The Right Way to Eat, for which Amazon sends us about $4.50 a book)!
This is the attitude that got us into politicization of COVID, lockdowns and the jabs. I bet folks like Bill Gates and WHO love the mainstream American attitude about health, and hate the mainstream African attitude about low-cost natural health.
As for me, as long as I am metabolically healthy, I will continue my articles, and UNSPONSORED grassroots presentations and book discussions, and will be honored even if 1-2 curious seekers and pure souls attend my talks or read my books1. One righteous disciples is all one needs for change:
“All changes start with a single word and a single person open to hear it”

In fairness, more seekers show up when my speeches are announced and promoted by local groups like the Rotary Clubs, Weston Price, etc. , like the one I delivered in July in the Amish homesteading event in Pennsylvania, which attracted 500+ people to my session alone (seen in the picture).
It's easy to virtue signal, it's not easy to change yourself (at least that's what most people think)
