Ray approach as real science...

Kvirion

Hi guys,

Just wanna describe a scientific discipline that is pretty close to Ray's ideas... You may be interested to dig in

It's called Complex Adaptive Systems science.
It claims that our bodies and our environment are instances of Complex Adaptive (Eco)Systems. It's a pretty new multi-disciplinary science, but well-established and supported by much evidence.

CAS' components (incl. energy) are entangled i.e. interconnected, interrelated, always in flux, and highly context-dependent.

This means that in CAS there is no linear causality - they are dispositional...

In practical terms, this means that two opposing views can be true at the same time because they are true in different conditions (i.e. depending on the context of for example circumstances/environment. epi-/genetics, their interactions, etc.)

For example, a vitamin can be unfavorable for some people living in some conditions, but the same vitamin will be great for other people living in different context...

Another example, if someone has low (hypo) thyroid then fructose/honey may be a bit unfriendly to the teeth. But for someone with optimal thyroid, there will be no problem.

BTW, there is also a variant of Complexity Science dedicated to IT, it's called Residuality Theory. I guess, that @haidut may be interested

What do you guys think about it?

Fructose

@Kvirion This seems reasonable. I don't think Peat ever openly recommended sugar. I remember he mentioned sucrose as a good substitute for sugars when there are no healthy substitutes.

Kvirion

@Fructose Yeah, exactly!

@Fructose Yet Danny Roddy uses 1-3 tablespoons of white sugar per 8 oz. of milk. I think that is excessive.

And Peat has some quotes about the therapeutic usage of white sugar.

@GreekDemiGod Yep, Ray was also about mixing sugar with proteins, when honey/fruits are not available. What's wrong with that if it's done in appropriate ratios and amounts?

White sugar is half glucose and half fructose, nothing wrong with that if used in the right context.
