@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.

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

using the chart showing increasing pufa consumption correlated to obesity when the increased pufa consumption is in the form of deep frying with seed oils is disingenious keep in mind zach is the same guy who said hitler abolished usury which is so wrong especially since pro hitler people also out of the other side of their mouth commend hitler for revitalizing the economy of germany which was accomplished with interest bearing notes to fund manufacturing expansion alot of people yap just to yap and will just ignore stuff to suit their opinion. and when someone just posts stuff that is wrong and refuses to admit it , it also has me thinking they are again willingly being wrong just to prove they arent wrong somehow. when i see people with really good skin and physiques and overall aura supporting whole food pufa consumption and i see weirdos with bad physiognomies with anime girl avatars in the peat o sphere who dont even point out that the articles from rp have bad citations, well, u know, it is pretty easy to decide who is correct

@wester130 Well, the first step is stop looking to anyone or any community that uses terms like "telepathicmaxxing." If you want to increase your brain power, don't look to people who celebrate brain rot. The best step would either to be find someone who knows this skill and learn from them. Otherwise, you will probably need to look to older books written outside the norm. Like this book from William Walker Atkinson, for example- https://archive.org/details/practicalmindrea00atkirich/page/n5/mode/2up

@jimmynelson said: When I was on cyproheptadine (very low doses) for a couple months I ate like a monster but I did have resolution of some long standing issues which I think were being held up in "healing" by stress hormones. What was this "very low dose?" When I first experimented with cypro, I tried doing 1mg per day. I only lasted a couple of weeks, as I had this zombie like tiredness that would persist for most of the morning. Might just have been very tired in general all day, can't really remember. I stopped, and things got back to normal. Later, I decided I would use some higher doses (starting at 4mg, going up to 8mg) and thought I would just push through the tiredness, however long it was. To my surprise, it was much milder this time, and only lasted about 3 days or so. After a while, some doses of cypro actually gave energy. I think there is something to an initial "loading dose." Others on the old RPF mentioned the same sort of thing, that 4-8 mg as a starting dose caused minimal tiredness, but 1 mg caused much more tiredness. I think some suggested cutting back to 1mg after a week or two of loading, but I just kept it at 4-8mg, and saw good results. I think one RPF member even said Dr. Peat recommended a loading dose protocol similar to this, but I never saw or heard any direct quote from Peat in this regard. Another potential option is selegiline. It's an MAO-B inhibitor, so it prevents the breakdown of dopamine, as opposed to being a Dopamine Agonist.
