  @CrumblingCookie I think you're oscillating unnecessarily between two extremes, running the meaning and purpose of a given background system and applying it disproportionally to proactive health choice. Peat's sentiment about autophagy isn't "neglect" or "belittlement," nor is he saying it isn't important, but rather the emphasis on not intentionally pushing certain systems out of context because stress brings about an induction of said system with the loaded premise that, that system being pushed is good. Autophagy - and in context of effective phagocytic activity - takes care of itself with an over-arching nutritional/bioenergetic application. When you get that right, those systems purr right along as they should. When you prolong fast; "artificially fast as I put it chronically, you are pushing those systems out of context. This will not give you good results. In these out-of-contexts scenarios, the cell is eating its own apparatus, regardless of its state because the stress signal and uncoping of that stress dictates that. What you describe is preaching to the choir. What should be emphasized is good health/bioenergy to ensure those systems do their thing WITHIN context, in which, things you describe apply and for the good of the organism. It is always about the whole forest. You can get lost in the trees themselves or worse - as I suspect with a lot of these worthless studies - you can easily create an "allegory of the cave" type situation: they beguile you with shadows and red herrings. What fascinates me is how easy it is in life to do so.

  @lobotomize-me I got nothing out of using the IC pad but some people I trust told me they got results. Not gona lie I didn't spend too much time using it. I should give it a more honest try.
