Doc, we got our copy. Thank you. I’d also point out that Substack is getting a sweet cut from you as they promote nothing but liberal writers each and every weekend with its Substack post that gets emailed that is supposed to get you in touch with other writers you might not know is on the platform. I’ve not seen a conservitve or right leaning writer promoted by them yet! I hate to say it but you’re funding your silence. We will always subscribe to you and it would behoove you to create a domain where it’s all yours.
FYI - having your own domain does not mean you will be seen. I have domains I manage and the traffic is nothing. Might as well be the squeeky wheel here in Substack
I’ll be on both! Wasn’t aware of your domain. It’s gold you publish the same content though as it can’t be censored or changed plus you own it! Which I’m sure you already know
What fun. Listening to the MAHA 4pm show. Had Russell Brand on who advised he was just talking to you both and about your new book in positive terms. A bit of publicity!
An e-mail subscriber list built off your substack subscribers would allow you to contact directly instead of posting here. Just a thought? I think all your subscribers on substack would gladly subscribe to the same content in an email newsletter form. I know I would.
Which is rather ironic, since Substack, so far as I know, was first formed to give *everyone* a voice. I rather thought it started out as more conservative or at least libertarian than it ended up.
Good to know. I unsubscribed from that email notice right away so had no idea they were doing that. I didn't want junk mail, I wanted only notices from the writers I chose...
But it's no surprise Substack is "in it for Substack" ....
I'm shutting down some websites very soon. The administrative time and cost of adhering to the privacy laws is a hemorrhoid, as well as the cost of maintaining structure and security and traffic.
Most people want to create the content, not attend to the increasingly complex nuts and bolts of site maintenance.
The job of suppressing certain ideas is at the search engine level, and affects dissidents and innovators wherever they are.
Is there ANYTHING Doctors Malone cannot do?!? Medicine, research, farming, dairy, raising chickens and primo horseflesh, globe trotting, speaking tours, writing books, handling the upkeep of online posting and special informational papers to your website…..etc….etc….etc! Now we must add the remarkably beautiful artistic abilities that have been shown by Jill! Is there anything that the two of you cannot do?? (Maybe being astronauts?) You both have accomplished so much. Is there anything on your list left undone? ;-)
Being drawn from photographs doesn't mean they were traced. I've drawn and painted from life and from photographs, and it still takes eye/hand coordination.
LM Drew, So nothing. It is information for those interested in artist's techniques. Similar to details about gardening and horses - for those who are interested.
I am disappointed to hear that your publisher is not as supportive as in the past.
I just put your _Homesteading for Health_ book into my Amazon cart. I love the images you posted in this substack, BTW! I'll leave a review soon.
You guys are amazing. I am so impressed by everything you do.
I agree we should all become farmers, and I am doing some semblance of that in my own small way. I am a 76-year-old single female, and I live on 50 acres off the grid in Maine. Several gardens and a greenhouse. Apple trees. Berry bushes. Woodstove.
This year I have put more effort into the gardens and greenhouse than ever before. I work to the point of exhaustion many days, but it's worth it. I eat out of the gardens and greenhouse every day, and almost every day since mid-July I have harvested and preserved food of some kind. In July it was raspberries and green beans. Now it's apples, blackberries, and more green beans, and that will continue for the next month or so. Soon I'll be harvesting and preserving tomatoes,. At the end of the season, I'll harvest potatoes, rutabaga, and carrots and store them in my root cellar - and also I'll harvest and freeze the last of my green beans, peppers, and chard, along with any zucchini that is still hanging around. By the time winter comes, I expect to have produced and preserved around 40% of my food supply for the coming year.
Also - on my little unpaved dead-end road, a tiny "homesteading community" is forming. There are two of us currently, and there is potential for two more. The other person in the community right now is a brilliant young man who has attended the school of hard knocks and has developed a rather fantastic skill set as a result. He welds. He solders. He does carpentry, drywall, painting, plumbing, and wiring. He does concrete work. He sets tile. He reconditions dead batteries. He resurrects dead vehicles. He has repaired my lawn tractor and my ATV countless times. He fixed my manual water pump that nobody else had been able to fix. When I got my tractor stuck in the snow two winters ago, he is the person that extricated it. He built the mounting system for my solar panels, and while that project was ongoing, he learned about solar-electric technology from me. Now he has his own solar-electric system. This spring he got baby chicks that will supply eggs for both of us.
Thank you, Malones, for your tutelage and encouragement. All of it is very much valued and appreciated.
I will definitely be ordering this book, even though I will never be in a position to own land and farm, I'm hoping that when the apocalypse comes, someone will let me join their homesteading commune. Lol.
This looks like earthly heaven. People who work with their hands are the happiest people on earth. No SSRIs or benzos needed when you're working with majestic animals and making your own food etc (sigh).
Oh and in terms of the Internet cancelling you, I was on the platform that the University of Wisconsin Madison Applied Biotechnology program uses for their students in 2025 for a class and the topic of discussion that week was vaccines and Covid. I could barely find one truthful thing about you Dr Malone when I was defending my position against the Covid shots. I kept digging and finally found the facts to quote you and the fact that you invented the mRNA technology. 2025 and 2026 and the Internet and MSM machine is still dragging your name through the mud.
"MAHA Books" Does this mean I have a collector's item? :) I'm saving it for an upcoming trip but will definitely leave a review once I'm done!
I wonder about publishing and just how secure and free the written word is. I have an old book, probably considered a conspiracy book, and an entire chapter has disappeared from later editions - no mention or explanation. It's as if it simply never existed. Also, I ordered and received Pierre Kory's Blueprint of Life book and notice it keeps weirdly becoming unavailable on Amazon. What kind of games are they playing? If I hadn't been able to order direct, I wouldn't have been able to obtain it. I have this hopeful fantasy that it keeps switching to unavailable because "they" keep buying up all copies to keep it out of the public domain and Kory will become rich selling out of all his books.
Bret Weinstein and Heather Heying also experienced "no books available" reports of "A Hunter-Gatherer's Guide to the 21st Century" when the publisher had just shipped thousands of them to Amazon.
What a loaded bunch of implications sets behind this post! The windows of trust, support and understanding seem to keep getting shut in deference to pettiness, politics and even a touch of revenge. I'm disappointed in the chain of events leading up to the publisher dissing you and not doing any more business with you in the future. (correct?) Anyhow, this situation isn't new to you and Jill, just another hill to climb while you hold on to your integrity. Jill is a wonderful artist and captured your face so beautifully as well as the other drawings. This book surely will be worth its weight in gold for all the important teachings it will offer so many. Huzzah!
Ordered your book and will write a book review. I do not know how I’m going to explain this purcase to my wife, when I’m suppose to be downsizing my books. 😬 Besides, just got out of surgery this morning, and not suppose to drive or sign important documents—at least I did not drive. 🫣🤩🤣
I have observed that Publishers and Attorneys are basically lazy, and know how to milk a cow dry using other people’s work.
Years ago, I had an attorney, and I gave him a ten point list to accomplish—he accomplished five, and wanted to be paid the full fee—I refused, so we settled the “disagreement” before a judge in the Bar Association. I presented my case and the judge turned to the attorney who gave a weak rebuttal. The judge asked me if I would agree to pay him half. I said yes—he did a half-rear-end job, so I’ll pay him what he did. And that was that. I told this story to an attorney friend of mine years later, and he was amazed that I sued an attorney and won. It’s a matter of principle and justice.
So yeah, a lot of Publishers are not willing to help with marketing and selling books, but will tell you, make the check out to: Milk Farmers of America.
Your book is in my "to read stack" I will move it to the top of the stack so I can write a review.
Towards the end of this Substack you stated that everyone should have a garden. Absolutely! Herbs in a window count! Vegetables with flowers in landscaping would work too.
We butchered 25 meat chickens and a turkey that we raised this weekend. Yesterday I was in Costco staring at a whole rotisserie chicken that cost about $5. $5 wouldn't come close to covering our expenses for one bird. I know this is a loss leader for Costco, but it gives a false picture of the actual cost of raising that bird. Subsidies give an inaccurate picture of the cost of food.
Out of curiosity I did an internet search on the cost of a chicken per pound in 1920, it was .35 cents. Sounds cheap. I then found a conversion for 1920 dollars into 2026 dollars. That chicken in our dollars would cost $5.59 a pound in todays dollars. That rotisserie chicken should cost around $22 not $5. Today we view chicken as inexpensive meat, when it actually isn't. In the 1920s it was a special meal, a Sunday dinner, something to look forward to.
I don't know where I am going with this, but I am frustrated with the stupidity I see around me.
Robert & Jill keep doing what you are doing. If you move from Substack I will follow you to wherever you go next.
As an author myself, I strongly recommend self-publishing. More control, more money, less drama. My own literary agent gave me the same advice years ago. You have to do you own marketing either way. You have the benefit of a huge audience. Use us to promote your work.
Just ordered my copy. I’ve loved the stories you’ve shared on your substack. I’m sure I will love the book. Thanks for being the kind of writers I prefer; telling the truth as you see. Sorry you pissed off someone in the MAHA movement. Unfortunately, everything is political these days. Here’s to continued success.
Absolutely Love Homesteading For Health. I bought the hardback version as I am sure I will be reading it more than once! Reading it slowly, love the illustrations too. So much information coming from your experiences that will be very helpful. We are seniors in town so won't tackle what you have done. However, your book will help us practice and prepare better if we need to use our fenced acre for survival in the near future. Thanks to both of you for sharing so much information. I also enjoy the posts about some of the daily events with your wonderful birds and animals! Keep on posting and writing please!
I ordered it when I first heard about it and got it last week.
It is a treasure. I already have family lining up to read it.
Thank you so much for a truly valuable instruction book that will save a lot of lives.
Blessings!

Unfortunately, we can and should set up our own domain -but as most of our subscribers are here, we have be on here for at least now...
FYI - having your own domain does not mean you will be seen. I have domains I manage and the traffic is nothing. Might as well be the squeeky wheel here in Substack
Exactly. At the Malone Institute website, we repost almost all of the content here. We have about 200 people a week view it from that site.
I’ll be on both! Wasn’t aware of your domain. It’s gold you publish the same content though as it can’t be censored or changed plus you own it! Which I’m sure you already know
What fun. Listening to the MAHA 4pm show. Had Russell Brand on who advised he was just talking to you both and about your new book in positive terms. A bit of publicity!
Just please don't leave us without allowing us to follow. Whatever you endeavor you know you have our support to the best we are able.
Most of us will go with you give a try lots $ out here

Yeh, Substack hates us. Literally.
Which is rather ironic, since Substack, so far as I know, was first formed to give *everyone* a voice. I rather thought it started out as more conservative or at least libertarian than it ended up.
Heard your interview on Dana Loesch's show Thursday 8/13, fantastic.
They probably hate Tulsi Gabbard too. She has a substack

Barbara, Agreed! Note, the black and white illustrations appear to be drawn from photographs, not freehand.
Being drawn from photographs doesn't mean they were traced. I've drawn and painted from life and from photographs, and it still takes eye/hand coordination.
So what?!
LM Drew, So nothing. It is information for those interested in artist's techniques. Similar to details about gardening and horses - for those who are interested.
Right you are!

Heavy Horses by Ian ANDERSON - Jethro Tull - https://youtu.be/HzCvljJIJQw
FORBIDDEN: Then and now, smoking in the barn, especially the hayloft!
Lyrics
Iron-clad feather-feet pounding the dust
An October's day, towards evening
Sweat embossed veins standing proud to the plough
Salt on a deep chest seasoning
Last of the line at an honest day's toil
Turning the deep sod under
Flint at the fetlock, chasing the bone
Flies at the nostrils plunder.
The Suffolk, the Clydesdale, the Percheron vie
with the Shire on his feathers floating
Hauling soft timber into the dusk
to bed on a warm straw coating.
Heavy Horses, move the land under me
Behind the plough gliding --- slipping and sliding free
Now you're down to the few
And there's no work to do
The tractor's on its way.
Let me find you a filly for your proud stallion seed
to keep the old line going.
And we'll stand you abreast at the back of the wood
behind the young trees growing
To hide you from eyes that mock at your girth,
and your eighteen hands at the shoulder
And one day when the oil barons have all dripped dry
and the nights are seen to draw colder
They'll beg for your strength, your gentle power
your noble grace and your bearing
And you'll strain once again to the sound of the gulls
in the wake of the deep plough, sharing.
Standing like tanks on the brow of the hill
Up into the cold wind facing
In stiff battle harness, chained to the world
Against the low sun racing
Bring me a wheel of oaken wood
A rein of polished leather
A Heavy Horse and a tumbling sky
Brewing heavy weather.
Bring a song for the evening
Clean brass to flash the dawn
across these acres glistening
like dew on a carpet lawn
In these dark towns folk lie sleeping
as the heavy horses thunder by
to wake the dying city
with the living horseman's cry
At once the old hands quicken ---
bring pick and wisp and curry comb ---
thrill to the sound of all
the heavy horses coming home.
David, Perfect! Thanks for posting.
Your writing, David?
Wow! For a moment I thought you might be confusing me with the eccentric Ian ANDERSON - Jethro Tull.
I corrected my post - https://youtu.be/HzCvljJIJQw

I didn't even know Jill was an artist. The pictures are glorious. Makes me nostalgic for an era of time that I never even lived.
I’m reading it now! Very relevant based on current food contamination issues

Realtors are also getting the lazy bones. Lots o' talk. Slow walk.
