@LetTheRedeemed you are right about hopelessness and it is definitely manifest in my life. It's something I have to deal with on a spiritual level. I've known about Peat for about seven years but never took a deep dive into all his thought until about a year and a half ago. I think the main thing that kept me away was the pro-sugar thing, but learning more about the thyroid and how pufa disupts sugar metabolism helped me warm up to it. I have candida and sugar makes it worse, even with flowers of sulfur, so that's part of why I didn't like it, even though I always trusted natural sugar in moderation over alternative sweeteners. It was lab-tested and confirmed in 2018 but I've had candida symptoms (such as thrush) since I was around 12-13 which was '09-10. I think it was caused by stress in childhood. The thrush is not just white tongue but on areas of my body, I can use clotrimazole and betamethasone dipropionate (a steroid cream) to manage it on occasion when needed. I think my gut is likely related to my low testosterone but I haven't solved that yet either despite my best efforts with natural remedies and even some medications like fluconazole (which did nothing discernible). As for thyroid I usually take daily one cynomel and one cynoplus, crush them within the folds of some parchment paper using a mortar and pestle and put the powder in a mug to spoon out from on the tip of a teaspoon, just eyeballing it in proportion to how much I'm eating with it. Besides raw carrots / endotoxin clearers and going for walks I don't recall what else works for gut motility.
