@yerrag Haha thats a funny dtory I hope its true

@James T3 works better for fatigue in my experience. Aspirin doesnt have notable effects on my energy

@the-MOUSE Lundberg's Basmati White Rice tests the lowest in arsenic. White rice is your best bet for grains

Also I remember reading something about how tyrosine is converted to dopamine (which will drop serotonin) when sunlight is directed at the scalp so get some sun to improve your results.

@RawGoatMilk88 In what way is skim milk nutritionally devoid? It doesn't contain much in terms of fat soluble vitamins but it still has plenty of b12, b2, calcium, ect and is a good protein source

@RawGoatMilk88

Yes so I’ve heard with A2. Unfortunately that isn’t widely available in my country but thanks for the tips. I have a source for a non-homogenised milk I may start getting but I’m starting to think milk of any kind is a net benefit when drank at the correct time and not totally haphazardly.

@splithead_ said in Dr. Broda Barnes vs. Mainstream Medicine:

I just finished Hypothyroidism by Dr. Broda Barnes and I've found it convincing, but almost too good to be true.

A major claim like "94% of those who...should have been candidates for heart attacks during the study were protected from them by thyroid therapy," across a 1500 person sample, seems shockingly high and worthy of much more research. My question is then, with such a massive success rate, why haven't these therapies been explored further by mainstream medicine? As stated in the book, they are much cheaper than the standard treatments, but that can't be the only reason, can it?

Forgive me if this has been answered elsewhere or is a dumb question. Still new to this.

Spend a little time over on the American Thyroid Association's website for clarification of the situation. Since you've already read Broda Barnes' book, compare and contrast the rational logic in it with the outright criminality of the ATA's dogmatic position (delineated here). The ATA has a stranglehold on treatment for hypothyroidism. The ATA's position is taken as the incontestable TRUTH by the American Medical Association and any doctor not kowtowing to this holy grail will be subject to license revocation.

My new GP has informed me that I am not hypothyroid because my TSH is below .01 and he intends to revoke my prescription desiccated thyroid medication just as soon as my 83 year old endocrinologist retires. The prior 5-6 doctors over the past 50 years were also mistaken, you see. This GP thinks the ATA is the brilliant distributor of sanctified TRUTH; I think they are a criminal enterprise and should be RICOed.

Ray Peat explained it here: https://raypeat.com/articles/articles/thyroid.shtml

Since the American Heart Association is still promoting polyunsaturated fats as "heart healthy", I'm pretty sure they are active participants in this ongoing organized crime.

Making people healthy has never been the goal.

@lactose said in Cancer:

Did anyone here encountered cancer(in your self/in someone close to you). If so, what you did/doing to cure it? If you didn't, but you have some knowledge - what would you do to cure it? I know that different cancer need different approach - but hey, it's still cancer.

Cancer threads are like Alice in Wonderland. You get into a lot of rabbit holes. I stay away from it except to make this kind of commentary. And to say the essence in a cure is in its simplicity. When it gets very complicated and you don't know where to even begin, you are so trapped already in a labyrinth and you feel like a cockroach being experimented on.

Go back to the basics. Balance. And the body will heal itself. It is about the terrain. And you have to get the body back to where it can get back its own wisdom.

@raytreats said in Period Cramps remedies for my gf:

Her period cramps are terrible, had to leave work early today after vomiting. She can't have dairy and Progest-e makes her very suspicious. Any other recommendations?

Has she tried the carrot salad or maybe Vitex to balance her hormones? Also, if you don’t mind, can you share what her diet looks like? Diet can greatly affect our cycle so perhaps tweaking her diet will resolve her PMS.

@Crypt-Keeper Hey, GABA should have a delicate (seesaw) balance with dopamine.

You can raise dopamine (and lower GABA) with L-Tyrosine, white coffee, OJ, and B vitamins like B1/sulbutiamine and B6-P5P, or Aspirin or T3/DHT.

Also with emodin, inosine, Tribulus Terrestris or

Also, explain where and how Hans Amato has left the Peaty paradigm. There has been disagreement within the bioenergetic sphere of how impactful CICO is to sustained weightloss. he practices CICO to yield results. Peat himself supported CICO so this is no problem. That’s the only Significant diversion I know of

@LucH Thanks for the great info!

@yerrag said in My Experience With Different Carb Sources:

eating a lot of white sugar

Aside from purity and sucrose content, what is the benefit of white sugar over other more "whole" sources such as molasses, rapadura (whole cane sugar) or other similar black/brown sources of sugar? Particularly in terms of the nutrients (vitamins, minerals, salicylates, polyphenols etc) which might be useful for supporting the respiration process amongst other things?

It's hard to find a good reason to go with white sugar, except for the same reason that many chefs prefer the farm raised antibiotic-laced catfish, pangasius aka cream dory, from Vietnam and Thailand - a neutral taste (but I use a lot of muscovado sugar as well as it has a raw candy taste. When I was visiting my granny in the province back in the day, my granny was using white sugar and I would often go to the maids' area as I enjoyed the dark reddish brown sugar they used. It was the best candy I could find anywhere, especially when they are lumped together like a rock. Back then, processed sugar sold at a premium.)

Just like it is with white rice over brown rice. Though brown rice has its benefits with more fiber and nutrients, and for many, many years I ate brown rice, I went back to white because I enjoy it way more. I came back to white rice when I realized my blood sugar become excellent, after going cold turkey on PUFAs for 4-5 years.

There is no harm in using white rice and white sugar, when the nutrients I am missing out on in using brown sugar and brown rice are being met by other sources in a nutritionally knowledgeably sufficient eating lifestyle. And I make sure of that by relying a lot more on whole foods and from eating a variety from nature's bounty. Living in an archipelago with plenty of wild caught seafood, I am able to compensate also for eating the nutrient and health deficient livestock we eat (aka factory farms of chicken and pigs that die easily from bird and swine flu).

We are what we eat as the saying goes
