Is Bret allergic to European wheat? Part II

Will European wheat have an effect on Bret Weinstein? This is Part II of his European experiment, the results.

Watch Part I: https://rumble.com/v6pns8o-is-bret-allergic-to-european-wheat.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp

Dr. Bret Weinstein is running an experiment on himself. After a decade of avoiding wheat he has tried eating it while in Spain. In this update video he explains how he has been feeling and answers common questions around glyphosate and dry fasting.

Watch more on the topic of glyphosate and dry fasting from Bret and Heather:

Is Bret allergic to European wheat?

No live stream today, instead Bret is running an experiment from Spain.

Do you have a wheat allergy? Have you been able to eat wheat in Europe without the symptoms you experience in America? After a decade without intentionally eating wheat, Bret Weinstein is running an experiment while visiting Spain - will the European wheat cause the same symptoms he experiences when stateside?

Watch more on the topic of allergies and vaccines from Bret and Heather:

Bret, thank you for your wonderfully brave and vulnerable essay about Heather and you. I have long admired your relationship and the way the two of you are a beautiful gestalt. It seems profoundly spiritual to me 😉

I’m writing because you said “we need a new myth about soulmates” and I would argue we do already, in spades! But sadly, we haven’t provided the tools for young couples to recognize and navigate the array of possible soulmate archetypes through the anxiety and narcissism of our shallow modern retail mindset into a deeper, albeit wilder and freer openness to be gripped by an archetypal myth (the red thread, the split soul, the twin flame, anima/animus projection, cosmic recognition, etc), and the archetypal Other (the Helen, Mary, Warrior, Trickster, Thief, etc) and follow the path where it leads!

Then, as you and Heather have modeled, we go through the necessary stage(s) of disillusionment and reckoning toward the mature myth (in my opinion it is the covenant myth) that ...

I keep thinking about the beggining of Episode 311 in which B&H talk about gendered differences in empathy. The results of the study didn't make sense to either of them, but they made sense to me.

I'm relatively new in thinking about things through the evolutionary lens--Dark Horse has been my guide since about 2020. I'm a therapist, a mother of four, and a life long over-empathizer. I have sensory reactions to other people's pain. Seeing a wound, watching violence of any real kind, actually makes my body hurt. (Yes, it often sucks). I also, strangely (as I was a competative athelete), have a difficult time rooting for any team to win--I am too often thinking/ feeling about what the losers are experiencing--even though I know losing is an important thing to experience, and good and right in its own way. I know there is justice in the better team winning--and I feel deeply for those whove worked their tails off only to lose.

When something arises like the recent shootings in Minnesotta, I am able ...

Genuine great guest recommendation for Bret: Michael Levin, developmental and synthetic biologist at Tufts University.

"His lab sits at the intersection of developmental biology, computer science, and cognitive science. His research interests include bioelectrical signals by which cells communicate to serve the dynamic anatomical needs of the organism during development, regeneration, and cancer suppression; basal cognition and intelligence in diverse unconventional substrates; and top-down control of form and function across scales in biology

In practical terms, he studies how cells use electrical voltage patterns (not just genes) to "know" what shape to build."

I think this would be an amazing discussion full of gems, Bret's evolutionary and complex system trade-off frameworks + Michael's research and his open minded nature.

Possibly diving into the missing evolutionary layer Bret has discussed, maybe some good insights come from this discussion.
