@herenow said in Thread regarding Ray Peat possibly choosing not to use the medical system toward the end of his life and the impact of that:

I forgive you

For what. You can keep the notion entirely.

@heyman I'm only 4 days into it, using it a wart, raised mole, and some skin tags. It seems to be working, and there is just minor discomfort when the skin growth is touched. I think it is safe, but only time will tell.

@ThinPicking you haven't posted anything to me showing me I should reconsider. your wanting to discuss specifics of marxism or hitlerism is inane and going towards pilpul. you know exactly what I mean when I write a "friend" posting pics of his dead friend in a hitler moustache is fucking weird. just because I didn't expound in some political or social academic way doesn't change or reduce my point. this shtick where you try to come across as the buddha or some thoughtful monk is hella gay and half the time I dont even know what you're saying.

its really funny you are taking the line of trying to lowkey ridicule my points especially considering I am criticizing DR for the riling people up for civil war stuff when I have seen you post stuff ion here multiple times lowkey ridiculing (or whatever your intention is) for doing the same. I wonder why you criticize users in here for that behavior but are taking issue with me criticizing DR for the same thing.

I will repeat it again, I feel like I was baited and switched by DR (and many others in other types of personalities) since I viewed, I probably even sent a couple bucks etc, and then he goes and posts stuff RILING UP, telling his twitter followers that civil war is inevitable after Trump got shot, that people are being ethnically replaced, etc. etc. It is clear he only wants his audience to be people with the same skin color as him. I thought he was a regular normal guy, I didn't know he was into ethnic supremacy bullshit and whatever. I can suppose all this stuff even when he hasn't explicitly said it by the stuff he posted (the riling up posts which he deleted and never apologized) and him retweeting people, following, saying these people are great and cool, who post dehumanizing stuff about people of other ethnicities. I am not a dumb nigga. I know what people are like even when they dont explicitly state they want to genocide people or whatever, but if I was retweeting stuff and saying such and such type of people are cool and stuff then anyone could assume I tacitly support or am at the very least unbothered by some of their views. The dude literally praised a guy that once said he wants to holocaust jews again. I DO NOT like judaism or zionists or any bullshit. I even made fun of a jewish guy on here and I think even posted to him how fucked up Israel is. So dont read this and take it to mean im some jew lover or something. I am not a twerp cringe useful idiotic nigga though that would support the idea of or someone saying an ethnicity needs to be genocided.

Your psychoanalysis stuff is just bullshit and you can't get that type of stuff past me. Im not some un-selfaware cringe nigga. Not this time, pal, not with me.

the whole thing is fucked up and you implying im clutching pearls about it or whatever the flying fuck you are getting at is retarded and dumb, your super calm monk mode buddha bullshit is fucking gay so stop it with me

the fact you can't just accept what im saying is correct and objectively true is fucking gay and verges on psychological gaslighting

and finally the main point: publishing Ray's books in their original format knowing that Ray changed his views on multiple things and not even putting in an effort to add notes in the book to explain how his views evolved etc is lazy, dumb, and gay. Just from a business perspective. And that ties into how I think DR is dumb, cringe, and gay. That will be all. I will not purchase them and I will just download them off Anna's archive and print them out and edit them myself for giving as a gift to someone. Why would I give someone I care about a gift of a book with outdated information that isn't good?

If you think anything I posted is incorrect, based on wrong assumptions, just say it. You asking me to go into detail about a side point that I almost didn't even include about Hitler vs Marxism or something as if it means anything substantial when it was just an aside showing how ridiculous it is to make Peat into the likeness of Hitler when Peat himself seemed to admire Stalin instead, is a deflection and an attempt at pilpul. And thats besides the point, it would have been weird as fuck to post him with a Stalin likeness modification, too. Does a guy do that with a pic of his respected dead friend? Does a normal person who isn't a cringe nigga do that? Is doing that kind of stuff ok, from supposedly the biggest "follower" or acolyte or whatever the fuck DR considers himself to be to Ray Peat? Is nothing sacred? Contrast this all to how much DR clutched pearls over Haidut allowing Mercola to shill his own supplements in opposition to the Progest-E. Why the being up in arms about one disrespect and not another? Do you think Ray Peat's mentioned nieces and nephews etc would be appreciative of seeing their late uncle being posted online in memes like that and his supposed best acolyte supporting the stuff? It's weird as fuck nigga.

@GRay said in mk4 dosing?:

egg shell powder

egg shell powder is essentially calcium carbonate (+ useful nutrients).
We need P to absorb Ca. But not at a meal with HD meat (acid pH 3-4).
I won't take Ca supplement if my acid-base balance is fine (K Mg Ca) and P in the lines.
I target 850 mg Ca. When I'm under the target like today (450 mg), I add phospho'cal 1.6 g, + 1 half dose Mg bisglycinate to reach my level (+/ 420 mg Mg) (1/2 of 3 g) + 1 big dose potassium bicarbonate (3.2 g).
So, no need to be over 550 mg Ca (like the hunter-gatherer tribes in the African savannah.
I do / proceed like the reed: Bend (flexibility) but I do not break 😉

I almost missed this inquiry cornster.

@Corngold said in Vaccines - the cause of society's dysfunction:

What are the other categories?

I don't think all psychopathy is an absence of it or spectacular. If true then an application in that wouldn't necessarily involve feigning compassion. A person that way inclined could do some damage before the light goes out. As surely it would.

And that could be viral. In a way.

I believe millennials are emotionally isolated and lack an "apparatus" for meaningful empathic construction.

To me this is more a familial and early life thing than generational, but also situational. If I spend the next week eating only domino's pizza and drinking only whisky, while making no effort to vibe with a 'boomer' or a 'zoomer', I will probably appear to lack the 'apparatus'. The 'older' I get the truer that is.

One avenue of empathy is romantic love and family creation. This has obviously been destroyed incrementally by...

There's always been someone or something to try and ruin it. You're wise to it all right corn.

Another mode of empathy is social groups and friends. All of this has been...

There's always something. The price mechanism is particularly skewed right now though.

geographic dislocation

The desire to go for a run to find something that was already stocked is of particular interest to me at this time.

I wanted to resolve my mostly mental problems (depression, OCD, low energy, mania) without going through the fradulent loop-de-loop of therapy and psychiatric drugs.

Did "carnivore", read Chris Palmer's great book Brain Energy which I still recommend, then twitter took me from Vonderplanitz to Ray Peat.

Kind of kaleidoscopic. I'm glad to be where I am now.

Also would like to thank your honesty. Was happy with the DHT gel, I hope the supply issues get resolved soon.

Any idea when we can expect the new T product? Would it take weeks or months until you can sell it?

I've only gotten weird gut issues with progesterone when taking 30mg+ topical in ethanol per day. And even then, it sorts itself out within 4 to 6 hours.

Small doses <12mg/day or so don't have this effect on me.

@16characterstwas @EagleTwoRomeo

Hope those help.
Again, I wouldn’t take more than 4 or 5 mcg per hr, since that’s around the amount the body normally produces per hour (If I really wanted to take more i would take 4 or 5 mcg/hr several times a day rather than all at once)
Above all It’s important to go by how one feels. If i got jittery I’d stop and then when restarting make sure i took it less frequently, ie a lower total amount per day.

@Turk
what's the best glycine?

@dapose said in King Carrot:

(because it is a natural pesticide)

This is what I needed. Gotcha. Yes I see your point. Aren't seeded fruits a bit sus? Like: blackberries, strawberries?

I'm going after melons, pineapple, apples, oranges, a lot more.

I've overdone thyroid before and the nerve-damage type symptoms will go away and you will recover.
Some thiamine, niacinamide, and a couple months of decent eating and rest and you should be back to normal.

@heyman I could but I don’t have ethanol lying around so I just used water😅

i have noticed racists lose their hair alot
also most guys who were mean to me in school went bald, not all, but most.

@SanguisEtAqua Yes, it is probably metabolic. Check your body temp when you are lacking imagination. It's probably at or below 37°C.

Childlike play, which includes creativity, requires high body temp.

@cs3000 Yeah I don't see why Ray was not against malic /citric acid from apple or orange juice but was against supplementing it...
For citric acid it might be its fungal origin(when from Supplements), but that still doesn't explain malic acid.

To avoid problem when metabolizing fats: required nutrients. Here the omega-3 pathway.
Have a look at D-6-D and D-5-D (desaturase enzymes). Delta-5 desaturase is the most limited pathway (when eating high fat).

Now brand has a nice vit e with gamma.

Found something amazing:

They infected mice with h. pylori and tested how tea consumption was affecting it.
"green tea" is control group that was not infected and whose water supply was replaced by tea.
"green tea Helicobacter green tea" means they got green tea before and after infection
"Helicobacter green tea" means they had water before infection and tea afterwards "Helicobacter" is just infected without tea

So drinking tea after infection greatly reduces H. pylori inflammation and bacteria population. While drinking tea before infection completely prevents it.

I actually only read the research paper after I already found out that my symptoms greatly improved after drinking tea with L-Theanine powder mixing in, but this is good confirmation that it is not just symptom managment but an actual cure.

@RayPeatFan said in Vit E and Vit K:

Where is the study that claims HD Vit K could contribute to Vit E deficiency?

No deficiency but possibly preventing from assimilation. No clear proof.
Most studies establish the fact that we should avoid HD vit E (> 300 UI) when taking vitamin K, especially K1. It makes sense (conversion to MK4 more complicated). But that's not this aspect I mentioned. I'm talking about HD MK4 supplement with 400 UI vitamin E.

So, studies establishing why or at least mention the advice we shouldn’t take Vit E at the same time as HD K2.

Mechanisms according to MG Traber (deduction)
https://academic.oup.com/nutritionreviews/article-abstract/66/11/624/1868525?redirectedFrom=fulltext
Vitamins E and K appear to share the same metabolic pathways because both undergo side chain ω- hydroxylation and b-oxidation to produce their respective metabolites.

Possible mechanisms for the vitamin E and K interaction
*) Vitamins E and K share the same metabolic pathways
*) Vitamin E competes for the enzyme (yet undiscovered) that truncates the K1 side chain to form menadione;
*) Vitamin E increases xenobiotic pathways that increase the metabolism and excretion of all vitamin K forms from the liver;
*) Vitamin E competes with K1 for the cytochrome P450 (CYP) that ω-hydroxylates the tail, thereby preventing the b-oxidation of the tail to form menadione. The latter mechanism is hypothetically less likely because, as discussed by Thijssen et al. (11), there is likely to be steric hindrance preventing the complete removal of the K1 side chain via b-oxidation for menadione formation. All of these mechanisms would decrease the production and/or availability of MK-4. The hypothesis that vitamin E interferes with the conversion of K1 to MK-4 is supported by the observations that MK-4 concentrations in extrahepatic tissue are lower in rats fed a high vitamin E diet.
