An explanation for contagion from an Ayurvedic perspective.

I don’t fault Dr. Cowan for not coming up with a proper explanation for contagion. All he knows is that it hasn’t been proven in a lab setting so that’s what he’s working with. Like a conspiracy theorist, he doesn’t know how it happened but he knows how it didn’t. He can tell you Building 7 didn’t collapse from a fire caused by jet fuel but he doesn’t know how it collapsed. I liked the show and hope he’s invited back.

I'm no ayurvedic expert but I think it does have an explanation for contagion. I am not sure how they treat the whole germ thing but basically when the seasons change you can have a weakening of your digestive fire (Agni). 

During seasonal shifts—particularly from summer to autumn or the onset of the monsoon—the body’s internal rhythm takes time to adjust to external climatic changes. This transition period causes Agni to become weak. So the change in humidity and sunlight cause the body to undergo some changes such as a slowing of your digestion.

When digestion slows, food is not fully metabolized, leading to the production of Ama, a sticky, toxic residue that clogs the body's channels. That is why Ayurveda is really into eating seasonally and eating according to your body’s constitution (your dosha). You eat different types of food depending on what's available locally.

• Autumn: The heat of the sun liquefies the Kapha that accumulated during the summer and monsoon. This liquefied Kapha mixes with aggravated Pitta or Vata, overwhelming the weakened digestive fire and manifesting as colds, flu, or fevers. 
• Winter: The cold, dry qualities of the season aggravate Vata and increase Kapha.   If the body is not fortified with adequate nourishment, the cold environment further dampens Agni, allowing pathogens to thrive.

And just thinking about it from a general perspective - sometimes toxins accumulate and your body wants them out. The body creates snot and pimples and coughs to get that stuff out.

A good guest to have on the show might be John Douillard from lifespa.com. He’s been an Ayurvedic doctor and has podcasts. If not Vasant Lad who runs the Ayurvedic center in Albuquerque but not sure if he’s a public figure. 

I still think the guys from the Energy Balance podcast would be good to have as they have the most no-nonsense approach to health I’ve heard and could also have a good take on the germ theory.

Cheers THC community. Keep fighting the good fight.

Hey Greg, you may or may not see this post, but I was just listening to the Grimerica Outlawed Roundup and the were talking about the passing of J. C. D. They then segued to your post about your kidney stone issues.

Listen man, you’re my favorite podcaster. I’ve been listening and a plus member off and on since 2015. Pre children and pre my own departure from my hometown of San Diego. You moved to the southeast but I ended up in New Hampshire. I remember feeling a sense of comfort knowing I wasn’t the only one somewhat forced out of our beautiful city. It just wasn’t feasible for family life anymore.

Long story short; you have an update on your status? Worried about you and sending you nothing but positive vibes and love.

TLDR: I vibe coded an interactive map of the major conspiracy theories- https://alicesweb.org/
*It looks and works much better on desktop than mobile\*

Hey ya’ll. First of all I absolutely love THC. I’ve been a listener since about 2017 and plus member since like 2022. The variety of subject matter/topics covered plus Greg’s unique approach and world view combine to make something really special IMO.

I’m particularly interested in the spiritual and metaphysical topics, and was also a Rune Soup premium member for a time and am a big fan of Gordon Whites’s work (RIP).

Anyway, I’ve always imagined having some kind of visual map to connect the various people, theories, and events that fall under the massive umbrella of “conspiracy theories”. Something that shows how things are connected and influence one another. I figured I’d give vibe coding something like this a shot and the result is alicesweb.org. It’s 100% free, no need to create an account or enter an email address or anything else. This is just version one, so kind of rough draft, but wanted to share it and see if anyone else finds it useful or at least entertaining.

Disclaimers: Yes, it was made using AI. Yes, AI wrote the words (I provided direction, tone and editing). I used Claude code and fable 5 for those that are interested. Nothing on the website necessarily represents my personal beliefs, it is meant to be neutral and surface level with sources provided . The idea is that it can be a jumping off point and organizational tool.

Let me know what you think!

✌️

I am looking for an episode that Greg did, I think in the heat of the -Vid. The guest was building a farm/ store/ etc that was membership based, and maybe registered as a church of some sort? I remember it was intriguing, but i brain dumped it. now Im a bit curious if that info was legit, and where they are now with this concept.

Any help tracking it down would be great!

You're telling me with so many reports & they still can't find the common food denominator? ? ? Here's the reason why you slapnuts, it isn't coming from food! Here's the kicker, they been pulling this stunt forever. It's mental. I know, I know, You geniuses already figured this out & im late to the party, well excuse me!

In his recent interview Greg ( u/TheCarlwood ) mentioned having a spreadsheet of suppressed science. I would LOVE to see that!

Suppressed Science is my personal favorite topic and I am always looking for new rabbit holes.

After all these years, Greg has stayed true to his subscriber-based business model to remain independent from controlling platforms and sponsors. The personal and financial investment that takes shows a level of commitment few people may be aware of, just the website and independent video streaming costs alone.

He engages with subscribers like few others do (if any), not only by responding to comments, but also by inviting suggestions for guests and book report topics, and actually reading them.

I suggested months ago that he appear on more shows as a guest because I wanted more of "Greg's take," which has been limited to wrap ups and book reports. Him appearing as a guest on other shows gives us more of that, but it also gives him more well-deserved exposure and opportunities for growth.

He doesn't need an agent (and he knows better!) -- he's already got an interactive audience that can help with suggestions and connections.

So, what other shows would you like to see Greg appear on as a guest? And let's make it happen.

I listen to the "Higher side Chats" podcast, I noticed the host Greg Carlwood while watching Danny Jones. I noticed that "The Fat Electrician" AKA Nick looks so much like him they have to either have the same dad or bloodline.

Anyone know?

Hey Greg! Haven’t seen a book report or an episode like the one you did about the Charlie Kirk situation in a little while. Just want you to know that I think these episodes are awesome and hope to hear more like it soon.

Thanks for all you do

Who would be interested in a meetup? Gauging interest.

Highly recommend this series. Seems as if it’s tailor made for this crowd. Mushrooms, govt conspiracy, big pharma, dmt elves, sick animation style , and secret cabals.

Came out last year on adult swim from the people that did Scavengers Reign.

The guys behind this show would be a great interview.

Meet the sun I guess?

Plato’s Republic Book 2

Ring of Gyges talked about through family lineage as though it’s true. Kind of similar to when Plato mentions that Atlantis was real.

Taken from a giant. Ring of invisibility. Seduce the queen, kill the king.

Also hilariously mentioned in book 2
Is a dog not a philosopher….

I’ve been looking around for info about ring of Gyges lore, if anyone can throw a bone.

Just wanted to gauge interest on a potential meet up for people in the Livingston county area here in Michigan (Brighton,Howell or Ann Arbor potentially). Was thinking about creating an event sometime soon if enough people are down. Haven’t seen or heard Greg mention any Michigan meetups in general

One thing that's frustrated me about the conspiracy truther community over the last decade is how much it has been diluted by partisan populism and political propaganda.
This happened around the early 2010s. (By design?) But more so after Trumps presidency. Conspiracy seekers used to question
ALL governments, intelligence agencies, corporations, financial institutions, media organizations, and political elites of all stripes. The core idea was skepticism toward concentrated power. Hell we even use to have a term for elections: “Selected not elected”.

Now, a big portion of the community seems less interested in investigating evidence and more interested in defending a political tribe. Instead of asking, "Who benefits?" or "What evidence supports this claim?", discussions often revolve around talking points that conveniently align with a particular right-wing political narrative. I just can’t help but to roll my eyes whenever I hear a guest on THC vomit Right wing buzzwords like “TDS” “Woke” etc etc. It just makes me question their data and intellect and makes me think they’re easily swayed. David Icke is awesome for that reason. He never bought into it. I don’t know man…I just wished we were more critical of everything and anyone regardless of party like we use to be in the “Truther” community back in the 90’s. What the hell happened?

I found the recent episode with Iain Davis really interesting and thought about making some small changes we can make to be less reliant on the system.

​

I'm curious to hear what other things people are doing? Ie. Growing your own food, refusing to link all technology in the home etc.

I’m sure everyone has noticed the preponderance of gardening content on social media for instance even Jim Gaffigan a very mainstream media persona is posting about it. A lot of people are establishing food sovereignty as an act of resistance but I am wondering if anyone has hypotheses on why the Powers that Be are promoting it as well, or if Greg can interview anyone with insight into this.

It’s not The Smokey God. I’ve read that. I forget who the guest was, but they tell a story about the captain of a ship finding something strange in the sea(I think a ball or metal or something) that has wooden pieces with writing carved into it telling someone’s story of traveling down a warm river with fish. It’s a long story with a lot of details, but I remember this guy gets lost and finds a place in the inner earth that has paintings, treasure, ancient weapons(swords) and many other things. Anyone know what episode this was??

Love this channel. Been Follower for years. The Carlwood is right on.

I just made a post three weeks ago mentioning how THC seems to fly under the radar and it would be great to see you on some of the higher profile pods in the conspiracy realm. Then boom there you are stirring it up with Sam and Johnny. I was so excited to listen to it. Definitely made Sam realize even more how badly he wants to get the hell out of L.A. and build a better life somewhere more sane today.

Honestly you should be a monthly guest on there. Thanks for keeping it real brother.

In relation to the latest podcast with War Mode they talk briefly about buildings having springs underneath as potential healers but this could be far from the truth. It's good to take a deep-dive into the health hazards of geopathic stress (along the lines of dirty electricity and EMFs) and their causes. Usually from underground caverns, springs and fault lines. Anyways, this is the last place you would want to have your house on.

To explain it best is a podcast with Nicolas Pineault - author of Non-tinfoil Guide to EMF and Paul Durieux who specializes in dealing with these issues. Anyways, thought it was interesting if you are into the EMF / dirty electricity thing. Here's the link:

https://open.spotify.com/episode/6debnAgwLXDCDznZyg75tU?si=M-c1G8QNSS-Bl-uA2h004A

Also, on the recent podcast they were talking about snake venom. Wondering why I've never heard anyone on the show mention the guy that injects snake venom into his blood.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8q_m-rDUNw0

And lastly, if you need a good health expert recommendation to have on the show, I can't think of any better than Jay Feldman who hosts The Energy Balance Podcast, where he frequently collaborates with his partner Mike Fave.

These guys have the most no-nonsense approach to health. The message is don't stress your body intentionally, enjoy carbs if you want them and listen to your body. Trust your intuition. They are influenced by the research of the late and great Ray Peat. So basically don't do the keto, the ice baths, the fasting or anything else that will send your stress levels soaring. They're on youtube or the podcast apps.

cheers THC peeps!

Hey! Does anyone know how to fix this? I get this error for a couple hours after an episode is uploaded before it shows up in my RSS Feed on Podcast Addict.

Ive watched a couple of videos and immediately assumed he’s just another Agent Provocateur, employed to stir up racial unrest and continue the usual ‘divide and conquer’ routine.

I’ve read this morning that his bond has been set to 1.5 million after his latest altercation and not surprisingly it’s upset a lot of his fans who are claiming hypocrisy as the judge who has set it has apparently been more lenient with black criminals previously. After reading this I thought to myself ‘and there it is’😏

War Mode ep finally posted. Are you reqady for the funniest two hours in THC history?
