"Doctor" Smith targets another competitor
-
Two quick things I want to add
Stephens is a psychologist. Therefore his lens is brain health.
Pete’s lens was metabolic health, cellular respiration, mitochondrial respiration
Pete looked bio energeticallyOn Charlie’s forum, my Signature used to say:
Apart from a good metabolism, anything can be dangerousThat is relevant, whether talking about dextrose pills or adding therapeutic amounts sugar in the diet
Pete was not wrong

As someone currently experimenting with dextrose I can only say this:
I trust no one except the friends and family I know well. I do not trust my health with Ray Peat, Garrett Smith, nor Dr Stephens. I like to try things that make fundamental sense to me. I am responsible for myself. I’ve made plenty of bad decisions in my life, heck I’m sure I’ll make more: that’s life.
Perhaps we could all just relax and trust in each other’s autonomy? Debate is great, disagreement should be expected, we all have a unique point of view.
No one is asking anyone to try anything you don’t want to. You are in charge of your life. I for one wouldn’t have it any other way. I like sharing what I’m trying with a community of somewhat like minded folks, but honestly if it causes this much consternation, I’ll probably just pass.

Oh, and don't ask "What's in it for Garrett?He is as plainspoken and pickling' honest as a southern peanut farmer. "
Lol I want to know what this colloquialism means... not a reference to Carter, is it?
-
yes, though I should have used Midwestern teenage boy scout instead lol, with due respect to Carter

I went over there because I read that Smith and Charlie are no longer working together?
I was trying to find that data.
I was unsuccessful
Anyone?

@Peatful I was reacting to what @insomniac said in the other thread. But I guess if Smith is shitting on carbs (dextrose/glucose) now that might be one reason. Charlie allegedly still promotes carbohydrate based diets. Whether or not that's because he actually believes they're healthy or because it just so happens his store sells glucose powder is a question worth pondering.

I could see how someone with poor liver health might feel better by switching to pure dextrose rather than incorporating high amounts of fructose in the diet. But all that's really suggesting is they've fucked themselves up on high-fat low carb diets in the past. And it's really got nothing to do with an "intrinsically toxic" fructose molecule. I'm also not so sure you'd need to resort to dextrose powder. Safe starches are obviously available, and Mike Fave was even nice enough to list some fruits with a good even ratio of glucose to fructose, like oranges (although "muh A" crowd won't touch orange things). Apples might wreck someone due to their insanely high fructose:glucose ratio.

The $1000 is a recently increased price to help cover some of the costs the less fortunate can’t meet him at.
I just wanted to correct this because I believe this is for a cluster of appointments and not a single one. I was a little confusing by how Garrett framed this. I don't want to defame someone.

@Insomniac good to know. That price range seems typical of both naturopaths and actual doctors
