    And I was looking for the answer on whether FMTs are a guarantor for clearance of fungal abundance in the small intestinal or colonic lumen. Surprisingly, it's a no! It appears to be even the other way round. Here's something interesting IMO about FMTs: Gut fungal dysbiosis correlates with reduced efficacy of fecal microbiota transplantation in Clostridium difficile infection, 2018 In this study, it is shown that CDI is strongly accompanied by over-representation of Candida albicans and decreased fungal diversity, richness, and evenness. Post-FMT, successful responders lack their previous C. albicans dominance but rather display a high relative abundance of Saccharomyces and Aspergillus. High abundance of C. albicans in donor stool also correlates with reduced FMT efficacy. In essence, therefore, annihilation of Candida dominance in CDI patients is crucial for FMT success and arguable it could be much advisable to pre-/co-treat any CDI with antifungals along with either ABx or FMT. Another study showed contrasting results of FMT on UC: Fungal Trans-kingdom Dynamics Linked to Responsiveness to Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) Therapy in Ulcerative Colitis, 2020 Herein they showed that in contrast to FMT in CDI, clinically successful response to FMT in UC very much depended on high Candida abundance at baseline, which decreased after FMT. The authors argue that the prior Candida dominance may provide a specific niche for bacterial engraftment, ameliorating UC. So, the very opposite of the pre-conditions in CDI. However, what the authors do not talk about in their text but what their graphs clearly show is the following caveat: UC patients with a low relative Candida abundance at baseline did not only not clinically benefit from the FMT, but their dysbiosis, inflammation and Candida levels post-FMT was mostly even larger than before (confounders? Small sample size?): [image: 1-s2.0-S1931312820301700-fx1.jpg] [image: 1-s2.0-S1931312820301700-gr2.jpg]´

    I noticed the reprint of Nutrition for Women says "100 short articles by Ray Peat, PHD," where the old one said "92...". What did they add to it? Also, note that From PMS to Menopause is for sale on Peat's website but not Amazon, and Peat's website doesn't have Generative Energy. Weird. I wonder if Katherine gets more of the money if you order from Peat's site. I'd imagine so.

    I’ve been using two drops 8mg of thymoquinone of the current formulation right before bed on my tongue. Sleeping extra good. Don’t wake up at all until alarm clock except some recent thunderstorms. I replaced 4 drops of Kuinone on tongue before bed. I like the effects of Tuinone better. More calming. For black seed oil seems like if you had an extra strength oil 7.5% TQ you’d need about a teaspoon of the product and would be getting lots of Pufa and other things that aren’t thymoquinone

    @alfredoolivas Perhaps, but I'm not certain. I actually was eating a lot more kale recently (maybe 150g a day) for a week and I did notice I had lost some weight (like 5lbs), but I was also walking in nature more at the time. I'll try incorporating it more consistently and get back to you.

    You guys have no tact. He can't come in guns blazing against vaccines. His whole initiative would be dead on arrival. During his hearings he emphasized he'll put aside his biases and follow the science. Long story short, he's already launched a large research effort with hundreds of scientists around he world to square away the cause of autism. If you've followed him long enough, you already know what this entails. He claims the conclusion in September will have the answers. This essentially lays the foundation for the push to alter the vaccine program how he sees fit. Critics will then be unable to brush him off using "junk science" when the science they'll have to argue against was done by their beloved CDC and other traditionally "establishment" programs around the globe. So don't throw the baby out with the bath water yet. It's a 2-4yr game we're playing.

    @DavidPS I am skeptical. Up to 30g of dietary salt intake/day has been relatively common in the US, Europe and Japan before refrigeration, due to salted fish, pickled vegetables and salty sausages all having been staples. Cancer is a modern disease that was not prevalent at that time. You linked a meta study so it's hard to pin down an exact methodology but consider the connection between salt and fast food in the modern age. A lot of the salty foods nowadays are fried in vegetable oil, meaning PUFA, meaning cancer. If you don't change what you eat, but simply add more salt to it there shouldn't be much risk. I didn't choose a specific salt target btw, I simply became more generous with adding salt to my food and the 15g is where I ended up naturally. Aside from a few mistakes while learning it has been absolutely delicious.

    @herenow said in Any opinions on postprandial blood glucose spikes beyond 140. Should people worry?: which has caused digestive problems. Begin to manage this problem first. enzymes to digest fat. mind the kind. See enzymedica lipogold on iherb.com. Hcl betaine if you got problem for meat digestion (bile problem). once a day. No legume. Rule of 1/5 or 5/1 (20 % of meat when eating carbs (pasta / rice / potato). Breakfast with carbs: the two same fruits until you digest well + 1 tsp coconut oil. No banana except if it's very ripe / has already black spots (glucose then).

    https://gemini.google.com/ The answer to the same prompt there's much better. The UI and inference process is more comparable to Grok's. @Hearthfire said in Google AI search results straight up lying about Ray Peat. Just outright fabrication. Unbelievable!: Don't you find it strange, even with so little context given in the search term, it chose to say all the opposite things that Peat said, instead of what he actually said? I've mostly gotten correct results from that Google AI summary about everything else. Knowing how LLMs work, not particularly. What a whole human is doing when they're balancing sources and finding edges on the internet or elsewhere is remarkable. An LLM can't do that, yet.

    @eduardo-crispino Well, interestingly, things like the anti-seed oil stuff is actually starting to go mainstream. Steak 'n Shake is switching to beef tallow. Ray Peat's influence continues to grow as mouthpieces like RFJ Jr. and Joe Rogan regurgitate ideas Peat popularized. People are starting to demand these things. We may yet see a day when McDonald's brings back beef tallow to fry their fries. In the meantime, making ice cream (and really most everything else) at home is actually quite easy, you don't even need an ice cream mixer, although it would be a good investment. There are no mix recipes online. Tastes as good if not better than a lot of store bought ice cream. And burgers? 10/10 made at home and way healthier.

    @James bicarbonate. OJ milk eggs spinach are all relatively high in bicarbonate. If you’re already having those, i guess you could add a little baking soda in your juice or on your eggs or spinach instead of or along with table salt. Cooking with coconut oil (eg frying eggs) or adding it to grated carrots (one or two, once or twice a day) would probably also help as would adding a little olive oil or butter to your food. Adding vinegar helps and makes it tasty. Salt too. When you don’t have time, munching on a few pre cut mini carrots will do the trick. most importantly try to avoid supplements. Seems their impurities and excipients, more often than not, confound the problem. Lo dose cypro shouldn’t be a problem. Probably helps.

    I try to avoid it but I'm not stressed about it. If I eat at someones house and I suspect there's a lot of PUFA present in the foods made I just eat a teaspoon of coconut oil or some vitamin E.

    @potato said in Best tropical fruit?: @pswany Forget where I found this RP quote but he once had this to say about the safest fruits: "Soursop (corossol), lychee, longan, guava, papaya, pawpaw, sapota, guanabana. Some frozen and canned fruits are good; applesauce, soursop, guanabana, longans, and lychees for example. " Asian grocery stores have canned lychees and they are absolutely delicious. Protip if you go to a Hispanic grocery store, the frozen fruit section should have "Goya Fruta" frozen fruit pulp packs where you can find many of the above tropical fruits. Some of them have ascorbic acid or whatever though. Ive made guava Jello out of the Goya pulp and it slaps They sell the Goya Fruta at large chain supermarkets where I live. I’ve been getting them for close to 20 years—they have the best frozen graded coconut for making fresh coconut milk and cream—and just last month, I bought the guava and papaya and was bummed when I turned the packages around and saw that they now have preservatives. They used to be 100% fruit. As per the thread title, my favorite tropical fruit is hands down coconut. My other favorites include: • Banana, especially the mysore variety • Cherimoya • Jackfruit • Lychee • Mango, especially the ataulfo variety • Mangosteen • Passion fruit, especially the more floral, sweeter varieties
