@Tarzan17 try 400 mg preg.

Penis size is associated to body-fat percentage during your childhood.
If you have a small pp, chances are you were overweight as a child.

FOR ALL UK MEMBERS! If you have not opted out of organ donation before, you are on the list. Make sure you use the opt out form if you want to be exempt from this fate.

@thirstysugar Having not used it personally but knowing what it is like to be engulfed by health issues, I am assuming that lots of people just don't report the side effects because they don't realise the drug is causing it.

A lot of people will hop on a medicine that has been advertised to perform a certain positive action. I think most people are only observing whether or not the drug they are using is performing this advertised action well or not. They aren't really paying attention to the side effects unless they are severe enough to warrant them thinking what is causing them. Even in that case, I've seen many people have terrible side effects from prescribed drugs and not even begin to think for themselves to figure out if the symptoms they're getting are from the drug they are using.

Obviously you will get people on health forums that are usually a lot more observant to changes in their physiology but I won't make this assumption of the general population. Not really their fault either, as the mainstream medical complex will more often than not just prescribe a new drug for the symptoms that the old drug is causing.

A Bioenergetic View of Ketosis in 2-Minutes with Ray Peat, PhD

@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.

@Ray-Peat-Fanboy

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.

@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.
