Are you sure it is the heart? I think it could be the gallbladder secreting more bile acid to digest the butter, sometimes it happens to me after a fat heavy meal.

I thought that Grant's reply on his website was pretty good. The most compelling argument is that vitamin A accumulates over a lifetime.

Mike Fave coincidentally posted a new anti-Grant video on YouTube today.

Wow that's extremely interesting.

The comments under the video are amazing as well.

I had to think about the ying-yang symbol. You have the fire in the water here , representing the white dot in the black part of the symbol.
But someone applied to the Bible or the Egyptian pyramids as well.
The theory existed for ages that the Egyptians used sound for building the pyramids, maybe they also created electricity with it.
And in the Bible god says he is a pillar of fire in the night and a pillar of clouds during the day. Again, representing the one which combines opposites in itself, as shown in the ying-yang symbol.

Seems like this hits some core truth of reality.

I find the idea of making electricity from this intriguing. Even if tis not enough for fusion, it's still at least tens of thousands degrees warm, which is quite something.

Can we produce this phenomenon by ourselves ?

Kenogen once wrote in a reply to my mail, that it is a 50/50 chance of the parcel goin through customs (germany), and the packages from norway may receive less scrutiny than packages incoming from the US.
Keith from the UK store said its usually fine but austria and spain no chance

Doesn't affect us. We don't keep a ton of KCl at home. We don't even use KCl except for replacing NaCl, and we hardly do if we're really Peaters‐ as we like salt and we don't have to substitute it with KCl.

There are other things we could do with our time.

@Hearthfire said in Kurzgesagt argues that exercise does not cause weight loss:

Anyone who denies that calorie deficit + working out = weight loss, is FAT.

Fair. With a possible rebound and disoriented sense of need at an extreme. If a person wants to rest a regime.

But the opposite is a (mainstream) anomaly in many.

I couldn’t really digest starch until I decided to start combining it with a moderate amount of fat, now it digests perfectly. Try making your own fries/chips using coconut oil and butter adding butter to rice etc. A baked potato with plenty of butter.

When I have rice or potatoes without much fat it is often a gamble whether it will digest well.

@wester130 I'm no expert on this, but I think it's strongly related to hair loss, but then again K is related to nearly everything. Mg is probably more important to counteracting the effects of excess Ca than anything. And Mg helps preserve K as well.

@short_hope I drink 1.5+ liters of whole milk, orange juice, grape juice, lots of coffee w/ milk (throughout the day), occasional coconut water, fizzy drinks with sucrose/glucose.

Fluid content in the foods we eat (whole fruit, etc.) is often not included as it should be (or not easy to quantify) when people think about their fluid intake.

I grew up with parents very interested in health food and maintaining good hydration. And I raised my children pushing frequent water consumption on them, which I now regret (before reading Ray Peat on 'salt to taste' and dangers of excess water intake). I think excessive worry about dehydration and excess water intake worked against my health objectives. I'm now feeling like good metabolic health has been finally achieved (last 5-8 years) after stopping water drinking. Of course still using water to cook soup/broth, boil potatoes, etc.

@insufferable said in Defanging your computer:

So for twitter and youtube, I installed extensions to remove all the distracting stuff and make these sites intentional, so you have to type in what you want to see, before you see anything. Youtube and twitter both just display basically a blank screen on the homepage now.

The extensions I installed (on firefox) are "Unhook" for youtube and "Control Panel for Twitter." I also have "BlockTube" installed but I forget if it's doing anything right now or not (I tried it before I found Unhook) And of course I have AdBlock Plus running too.

Control Panel for Twitter stopped working. I use https://xcancel.com/ now, which is even better since you don't have to login to twitter.

May be key to use IR light that includes 8-10 uM wavelength , IR-C
https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-019-48187-0
which is weird because only a tiny amount of IR-C comes from the sun, and doesnt penetrate skin as well as ir-A or B. but was the wavelengths that worked on mitochondria in epithelial cells

humans might emit infrared around 9-10 uM though which matches the mitochondria study https://www.researchgate.net/post/What_is_the_IR-radiation_emitted_by_the_human_body

& the embryo study used a lamp "at wavelengths ranging from 1 μm to 14 μm, with a peak at 2.9 μm."

You'll find dosage in these protocols too. Maybe you can just figure out what would work in your case. It's very safe so you can't screw up too much.

So I did the flush last night. 6 days of preparation, drinking 1l of freshly squeezed apple juice, then on the 6th day (yesterday), I did an enema, followed by the regular epsom salt + water drinks. I stopped eating at noon yesterday until this morning.
Before bad, I had the 120ml olive oil + 180ml lemon juice.

The epsom salt and the olive oil mix were nasty to drink. I didn't have nausea, didn't vomit, but it did make me gag a bit. Definitely not pleasant. Also felt weak from not eating almost all day.

Last night, after drinking the epsom salt + water, I was sitting on my desk, I started having all kinds of sensations in my abdomen and upper body. I started getting mild pain/ discomfort in my back, middle back and lower back (kidneys ?). At one time, I could feel my spine literally hurting for about 10 minutes.
The back pain is interesting. I've never had kidney problems, I'm not aware of ever having them. But it seems like the flush can be hard on the kidneys. Or perhaps, it was due to dehydration. Not sure.

This morning, had the urge to have a (liquid) bowel movements, and sure enough. I saw a few dozens of those green "stones". Some were quite large, up to 1.5 cm in diameter.
It remains to be seen if I will feel better after the flush. I remain skeptical because reading on the FB groups, people don't just do a flush every now and then, they do them through the years, and claim they have to keep doing it. That doesn't seem right to me. Once every few weeks/ months should be more than enough.
