    @alfredoolivas said: Blocking calcium channels is anti estrogenic. Potentiates tamoxifen too https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/1676580/ https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0006295294905509 Peat tied estrogen to calcium directly. From his 2020 flu newsletter: "A major function of progesterone is the inactivation of the estrogen receptor; estrogen and its “receptor” are powerful activators of cellular calcium uptake". If part of what estrogen does runs through calcium getting into the cell, a channel blocker cutting into it makes sense. The verapamil paper tied its effect to lower P-glycoprotein though, the pump that pushes drugs back out of cells. Could just be tamoxifen staying in the tumor cells longer. Does the second one look at estrogen signaling itself?

    There's something fishy about Hans. He claims he's been doing all these self-experiments where he takes a mega dose of something for 2 weeks and does before and after blood tests, and frequently other tests like stool tests. If it were all true, he'd be practically living at a clinic! He says doctors are useless and that he pays for all his own private tests. But then makes a post about having a chat with his doctor, and discussing various results with him. He never posts his labs, as others have pointed out. He could just be making it all up, for all we know. What he does do, constantly, is try to make money off his claims. So I'm a bit dubious.

    @sunsunsun I am starting to think this discussion is becoming futile. You did not deal with any of my arguments, which there were many. Your only counter-arguments are “cope”, “weird” and “one shotted”. No constructive criticism was offered. I never said “ studies arent to be relied upon”. I am not sure where you got that idea. I merely pointed to the flaws which the studies you mentioned have, not once did I say that you should not rely on studies. Or do you think that studies are faultless? That scientists do not make mistakes or act in bad faith? Luckily, many of the shortcomings can be uncovered simply by reading carefully (as I did with the pro-oatmelas studies). Again, you did not offer any rebuttal, you merely dismissed it as As for your milk argument: Yes? How can you not see that that is a completely different situation? Milk is one of the most nutrient-heavy and beneficial foods which this planet has to offer. Adaptation to lactose does not cause any long-term negative effects, it does not inhibit your thyroid nor does it slow your metabolism/decreases your overall ATP. Once you start producing enough lactase, the problem disappears. With oatmeals it is quite different, the endotsoxin IS problematic and remains problematic even after it sits in your intestine for five years, the “adaptation” is pathological. Your overall T3 and protective hormones decrease while the negatives accumulate. How is the phytic acid cope? You did not disprove anything I said. If you are so adamant that I am wrong, explain yourself. Please provide your examples of Peat being wrong with citing studies incorrectly. If you are so certain and mentioned this repeatedly, you can surely offer them right? Also what peatosphere are you talking about? There is no RPF anymore, no podcast or any other prominent community. The only semiactive thing is this, which many times go against Peat’s core work with stuff like glp-1, pufa reintegration, severe hormesis or fiber advocacy.

    @CheesedToPeatYou Yes. They use chlorine and other nasty things at dilute concentration to clean carrots. Sometimes, not always. I wouldn’t recommend you repeat the experiment unless you truly have a dedication to anecdotal science, but perhaps next time you are forced to buy carrots out discard the skins first.

Also Ether, God & Devil & Cosmic Superimposition and The bion experiments. There is a publisher reprinting most of his works in affordable paperbacks, that's where I would start.

    @Hando-Jin said in Does tanning age you even in an absence of seed oils?: @sphenoid said in Does tanning age you even in an absence of seed oils?: @Hando-Jin the process of UV light turning the cholesterol in the skin into the precursor to vitamin D. Too much UV and not enough cholesterol synthesis in the skin will eventually deplete it. Why not enough cholesterol synthesis is what I'm trying to understand. Has anybody answered that? I heard Ray say it was just down to age. Age, stress, nutritional deficiencies. Most people are probably inefficient at replacing cholesterol in the skin. That's why topical lanolin is a blessing for not only supplying a substrate for vitamin D but to keep the skin youthful.

    While LSD is intense, saying it's a portal to demons is religious nonsense, and of course that guy Owen, who ironically enough made the cover art for Bronze Age Mindset, has an entite page dedicated to Christianity I'd write his experience off as having a bad trip. Lots of people on X/Twitter like to sensationalize different concepts like demons and things being demonic. While some people might genuinely feel that certain experienced/drugs are demonic, it seems easy to just make stuff up and exaggerate for engagement. Make something sound more sinister and bigger than it actually is. Now if we're talking about facing our own demons, anxiety, fears, and of course our gut health, that's much more valid. People undermine the importance of gut health with things such as psilocybin mushrooms or LSD, especially LSD as its a much longer and more intense experience. LSD makes you understand the importance of your environment, your energy, other people's energy, etc. It can put your problems and what you've been neglecting doing in your life to the forefront. I'd say the normie LSD formula is think about bad thing, let that bad thing effect your mood, freak out about said thing, and have a bad trip. Of course there's bigger problems, lots of fear inducing propaganda, and general uncertainty in this world, but as long as you understand you must keep going and have a positive friend who knows how to keep you in a positive mood and mindset, you can put yourself back in the positive happy trip spot. A big thing for me was seeing how beautiful nature was and how dysfunctional a lot of humans are and human creations, LSD activates synaesthesia where you can feel what you see, and vice versa. I'd research more into synaesthesia honestly. Again, it all goes back to your environment, your mindset, way of thinking, your trauma, etc.

    @Alexander99 said in Is Caloric Deficit Peaty?: My point in the above post was more that you should have a calorie deficit when losing weight, but this is one, albeit an important one, of many factors in losing fat. The trouble with the idea of a "calorie deficit" is just how exactly do you figure out what that means for you? If you have dieted using calorie deficits in the past, your body can reset its metabolic rate so that you can withstand calorie deficit (=starvation/deprivation) better which means you would need to reduce the calories even further to get any weight loss. This also opens the way to lose muscle mass (from higher cortisol) instead of losing fat.

    @magnuscoffee I love the taste, but the manganese content can be problematic. Manganese overload can be an issue if you get carried away with the fabulous taste and overindulge habitually.

    @honest_skeptic Ray always said that he wasn't a scientist and never really aspired to be one. He has always described himself as a painter/philosopher and/or a science critic. If you think that having some articles published on pubmed makes you a good scientist, you haven't really understood the main problem.
