@Mauritio said in God is the fire that does not consume you:

This is where Peat's research comes in, disproving the rate-of-living theory. The thyroid hormone produces uncoupling proteins that separate energy production from heat production, consuming harmful free radicals and old cells in the process. Overexpressing uncoupling proteins has been shown to treat chronic diseases and increase life span in animals.
So you're physically increa­sing the heat/fire and it makes you healthier. Not only that: it also consumes the parts of you that are bad or unhealthy.

Coincidently I just realized that Ray's last Newsletter was on that topic . May he rest in peace.

being proven wrong in a variety of ways, as

"The highly “wasteful” inefficient energy metabolism of
“uncoupled” mitochondria improves adaptabil￾ity to the environments, and extends longevity."
