@albion p5p helps , found it similar to theanine

methylfolate is a hit and miss, sometimes I feel more alert and other times i feel a bit uncomfortable. Travis had a post on the old RPF where milk drinkers usually had much lower methylfolate in CNS where he claimed it was advisable to take the reduced folate form through supplements if you drink cows milk. I only tried it for a week or two so I cant tell w certainty, although the slightly increased focus was noticeable.

@GreekDemiGod “forum supporters” are still being banned for simply saying milk is healthy and not being dogmatic.

Well, if it's safe for your face, it's probably safe for your scalp. I'm considering getting this and giving it a shot. If it gets to 42 C then I'm sure it will at least somewhat help soften fibrosis.

I suppose the question is how deep the ultrasound penetrates. But even hitting the dermis should be fine for what I'm doing.

@Ecstatic_Hamster Fair enough. Looking forward to trying it out.

I found this interesting article exploring the relation between brain and testes as well:

In "pop history terms", it might help to explain the celibacy and genius of Nikola Tesla, Isaac Newton, beyond just the fact that it saves time.

@Johann2547 nice post

@Bioeneregy 40 mg, I tried memantine thinking it was the NMDA antagoism that was responsible but it didnt work nearly as well. Amantadine has organism stabilising properties I feel, that memantine lacks. Im not beyond calling the relative failure with memantine a matter of circumstance rather than a biological receptor standpoint failo though

Did you know that Nazi Germany heavily cultivated soybeans, feeding them to troops, to the extent that Westerners gave them the nickname "Nazi Beans?"

The US-led world order, with its PUFOid proclamations, is the geopolitical anti-human inheritor of Nazi Germany as a bulwark against Bolshevism, which is and always was the real movement.

Does this please you? How does it feel to be controlled opposition? Even back in their "heyday", that's what Nazi Germany really was... the British Empire's dog.

Study finds PTSD effects may linger in body chemistry of next generation

New research on survivors of the Holocaust shows how catastrophic events can alter our body chemistry, and how these changes can transmit to the next generation. The result? Our children may suffer the effects of a traumatic event they never witnessed.

@timapple

Welcome Tim,

There is no real dogma in the Peat sphere besides limiting PUFA as much as is possible.

Virtually everything else is finding things that work for you while following different pro-metabolic principles.

So if you feel good on spices, go for it, we all have different tolerances and foods that agree with us. For example milk, some people do absolutely fantastically with milk while others cannot tolerate it one bit.

If you’re interested in bioenergetics I suggest you search up Jay Feldman on YouTube, he and Mike Fave have done a podcast together for about 4-5 years, they have well over 100 episodes now, but I recommend going back to the very beginning and watching forward from there. I have been reading Ray Peat and Peat related stuff for years and learned more from those guys in a couple days than I have years scouring these boards.

All the best in your journey towards better health.

@yerrag

Yea I'd agree with most of what you said. Ray wrote in an early article of his as a rebuttal to someone speaking of VA toxicity that cultures that tend to eat the liver also tend to eat the thyroid.

I know Danny Roddy still takes thyroid despite years of Peating and I'd say that the two work best together, that being liver and thyroid. And you can chuck the oysters in there as well (in fact you probably should).

@yerrag said in What defines the 'bile dump' the Charlie forum always talks about?:

Until they do, they have no business blaming vitamin A for this putative toxic state when all along they leave the door open to be hypothyroid enough to make themselves unable to properly and normally metabolize vitamin A.

This is why I think this prescription that people hand out that "everyone must eat liver to be healthy" is dangerous. I don't think you do this, in fact I've got no idea but it's an ever increasing trend that leaves those in a compromised health state to become even more compromised. I think generalising that liver is good for someone can be dangerous because the person will often times only look surface level and start eating liver without considering other factors that if they are lacking in could cause the extra vitamin A to do damage. Most people don't have the money, time, and mental bandwidth to make these kind of inclusions into their life and will end up doing more harm than good. Like for myself I simply don't know how to use thyroid properly and would need to do a lot of reading to learn. In the meantime I won't be eating liver until I learn and I wouldn't suggest anyone else to.

In an ideal society we shouldn't even have to think about diet too much and having to balance this with that and micromanage everything. It is nice to know but these concepts should all be baked into the cuisine, culture and science. If only it were congruent and not so disjointed. This is going off topic but I wrote a post in my own thread about how religion and traditions maintain a good diet, like how catholics eat certain foods on certain days and I believe the jewish have a liver dish. Ideally diet should be in the background and not the foreground and doctors would be well versed on how to properly diagnose hypothyroidism if it even came to that.

Back on topic though I find it interesting that at higher doses Retinol actually suppresses the release of RBP and at a more therapeutic dose increase it. But then again if you constantly increasing your RBP and not getting enough zinc you will run into problems, thus start the vicious cycle. This is probably why Ray recommends the oysters.

And if you don't get enough vitamin A then your liver will not release all that pent up RBP, so it really is a balancing act.

@Ray-Peat-Fanboy like less than 20g

How much carbohydrate are you getting?

I think 350 gram carbohydrate is a good minimum amount , but more carbohydrate is even better

@evan-hinkle that's pretty neat! that seems to confirm there is indeed waste coming out from the skin pores.

@Insomniac Light activity is helpful definitely. I doubt any healthy elderly individual would want to be sedentary, unless he has a lot of research work lined up for material to use in a newsletter, like Ray Peat. He is a notable example showing that a lifestyle not revolving around being a gym rat or a 10k stepaholic is viable by virtue of having a strong internal or basal metabolism, external metabolism being optional. Using the brain as he does, he could be burning probably more than the walking 10k nandroids that litter neighborhoods and parks.

We have to be reminded that when our food supply wasn't taken over by Talmudist businessmen cum gaslighters, our recent ancestors didn't have gyms and didn't squawk walk with fancy wearables, and just lived normal lives doing chores and even get away without doing chores when they spend quiet evenings reading books and using their brain more than we do watching YouTube videos. They weren't overweight nor obese, not sickly, their heads and guts don't ache frequently, and peanut butter wasn't even an allergen nor a cause of death.

The only reason elderlies are sedentary these days isn't a matter of free will but a matter of being unhealthy all their lives with living a very unhealthy lifestyle including being drugged and poisoned through all means the Talmudists can introduce by hook or by crook thru established instructions that have become the way for toxic ideas to become accepted by the mainstream.

They are ridden with all sorts of pain that make it hard for them to walk.When they are in such a state of degeneration, and can't do the things that keep muscle tone and tension in a regular state of use, that worsens the situation where an already poor state of health gets worse. But to begin with, it's not for lack of exercise that they reached that point of disease.

But given that they are in such poor shape, it is a given that their metabolic health is shot. They can't metabolize sugar well, and they are also in a low metabolic state.

They can live probably better in carnivore or ketogenic mode, only because these metabolic pathways don't require the body to pass thru hoops to work like sugar metabolism does. The degree of difficulty is like doing a gymnastic routine that would get a score of 1 even when done perfectly, as opposed to doing a routine with the aplomb of Nadia Comaneci way back, which geta a score of 10. If my analogy is not clear, keto and carnivore is a low bar to pass, and doing hi carb is a very high bar to pass.

Very sick people can only pass the low bar.

Very healthy elderly people easily can dish out a lifestyle that involves plenty of carb intake, and that lifestyle verily sustains their continued optimal health. They can do physical activities just as they were able to in younger years, and will not just sit by and watch the sunset but will amble along the shore and enjoy their twilight years in radiant and productive health.

Most of all, they can eat cakes and ice cream, and drink Coke and coffee, and drink life to its lees. And they can use their bonus years to share their wisdom, as gained over the years. They are blessed, and will certainly be a blessing to all.

@LetTheRedeemed ikr 😅

@Serotoninskeptic hard to get 5 mg everyday

@NokiaDrift said in Can you grow the cock with infrared light?:

@Insomniac
Where can i get this? lol

Holy shit, this thing costs 250$.
Might buy a cheaper one on amazon and give it a try. I think it probably wont make your cock bigger on its own but if you combine it with jelqing or hanging and then use it to heal the small injuries it would probably help the process.
