As a Lyme sufferer with other 'co-infections' like bartonella and babesia, I have learned that some spiders and even ants can carrying borrelia (Lyme bacteria) and other pathogens; that nematode worms found in the spinal fluid of MS sufferers have been found to carry borrelia in their guts. So it would definitely worry me what else you were consuming when eating bugs.
Interesting article. I appreciate the research - but imagine the advantages. Farmers could hoover up all the insects in their fields to be turned into whole-wing flour for bug bread and avoid the use of pesticides. The fiber & protein would raise the nutritional content of American bread which currently has zero nutritional content. Anyway, my grandkids love Gummy Worms - they won't have any trouble. Now I am off to select a dry white Chateau Escargot to accompany my beetle burgers.
Hi Dr. Tenpenny, just a humble addition to the discussion. I’m wondering about the intersection btwn the urge to destroy our history, e.g., statues, and eating insects. Think Aztecs. Back in 1992, the U.S. celebrated the Quincentennial of Columbus’s Discovery of America. In the book recommended at the time titled “Why We Eat What We Eat: how the encounter between the new world and the old changed the way everyone on the planet eats,” author, Raymond Sokolov writes about insect eating of the Aztecs. (He hates Columbus. But likes the foodstuffs the Catholic explorer’s ships brought to our continent: cattle, milk, cheese, cream, butter, pork, lamb, goats. Horses.)
thanks for this bit of history. I think that insects eaten around the world as part of daily consumption are in small quantities, and non-processed. What TPTB are aiming for is large scale, large amount consumption (as in insect farming, etc). It's a whole different animal (no pun intended!) but it is something we really know nothing about.
My apologies for commenting again but I can’t quite let the bug thing go. Here’s something else to consider… chitin is an haemagglutinin or more simply stated it’s a lectin. Lectins are anti-nutrients. Granted lectins have their place; for example, the lectins in mistletoe have been utilized for decades in Germany to treat cancer (injected note orally). However, diets high in lectins are not healthy because they bind to essential nutrients making those nutrients unavailable to our bodies causing nutrient deficiencies which in turn lead to diseases (ex: corn and pellagra). Raw kidney beans are toxic due to their lectin content. Nuts, seeds, grains, and numerous plants contain lectins as lectins are their self-defense mechanism against being eaten. Anyone with autoimmune disease (such as myself) will be noticeably adversely impacted by lectin consumption particularly in regards to gut health. Back to the example of corn, indigenous peoples have long utilized alkaline wood ash (or lime) to neutralize lectins in corn. Corn masa (limed corn) is healthy unlike straight ground corn meal. Remember, corn is a grain NOT a vegetable. A century ago, corn consumption caused widespread pellagra due to its ability to bind to niacin. The internet (mainstream “health”/medical sources) now seems to be singing the praises of lectins whereas pre-globalist takeover the majority of what you’d find was on the dangers of lectins. Contrary to what sources are now reporting, lectins are NOT easily broken down simply by cooking. Anyway, for people groups that have historically consumed insects as part of their diets, I’m guessing they—like the Indians of north, central, and South America with corn—have a process for insect lectin-mitigation or perhaps they didn’t/don’t regularly consume high lectin insects. 🤷♀️ Please, folks, don’t eat insects and don’t tolerate them being sold in our grocery stores. Those who wish to consume insects can readily forage/hunt(?) for insects or they can easily raise them at home.
Wow! Thanks again for delivering truth and showing that you don't make crap up to fit your narrative. Clearly you hit some dead ends while researching and shared exactly what you found for us to decide. (Is that a new way to present information? Lol)
Unplug from all the noise out there - it is endless - go enjoy the sun .
Eating bugs is disgusting. Are the elite going to eat real food and let the middle and lower class eat bugs?? How do we know if the crazies have put a C-pill in these bugs and when we eat then that it is no different than the vaxxines?? This bug stuff is ludicrous. Who says these bugs are not with disease? The FDA has not done their job of checking out our food supply for safe foods.
Yes! Thank you. I’m going to screenshot your post and send it o her just to reiterate my advice to her. I guess because I don’t have an M.D. behind my name common sense goes out the window, lol 😂. So, your input will go a long way in keeping her on the right track and healthy.
I agree with you 110%. The Jews must be destroyed by any means.

Thanks Dr. T. Excellent information in your post

Eat viruses - a protein rich source.

Today, the Los Angeles schools teach Aztec ceremonies. https://www.foxla.com/news/california-parents-request-judge-block-public-schools-from-asking-students-to-pray-to-aztec-gods … https://www.theepochtimes.com/californias-new-k-12-curriculum-promotes-chants-to-aztec-gods-of-human-sacrifice_3731165.html … https://www.newsweek.com/california-schools-pull-ancient-aztec-chant-after-first-amendment-battle-parents-1671000
I may post this topic on my Substack. Take care.

Interested to hear about the dangers and side affects of exoskeleton Chiton.

Parasites. Full stop.
Bugs carry parasites. If you eat bugs, you will be getting parasite infestation.
Dr. Merritt is big on this. She has a great article on her website about parasites and
diseases that they can potentially cause.
I like it!
Nope. Just nope!😝

Again thank you.
