New "Mission" of RPF

@Peatful what was he charged with?
I hope you understand why I wouldn’t say that publicly
There are several from the old forum that had, have and are aware of this data
If they are comfortable
They can DM you privately -
@sneedful I’ve not really seen people have as big a problem with his choice to follow a diet virtually opposite what Ray suggests, but rather the terrible way he treated a hundred plus members (including the ones that stayed), in bursts of bans over trivial matters, on top of hardcore misrepresentation of Ray’s ideas to the point of calling them trash.
The new attitude seemed to have largely started with banning a guy for calling Mercola “Mr Mercola” after Mercola whined about not being respectfully addressed with “Dr.” I lost all respect for both after that.
And sure I search the old forum all the time. I appreciate that he left it standing as long as he has.

Here's a charity that supports vitamin A supplementation in Africa . How funny would it be if somebody posted that on the former RPF
https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/charities/helen-keller-international
I might actually give money to it, seems like a decent charity , the stats are crazy, imagine someone raising their child on vitamin A deficient diet :
"Vitamin A strengthens vision, prevents blindness, and builds children’s immune systems so that they are strong enough to fight childhood illnesses like colds, flu, malaria, and diarrhoea. Without enough vitamin A, these routine illnesses can quickly end a child’s life — GiveWell attributes over 200,000 child deaths to vitamin A deficiencies every year.Helen Keller Intl reports that twice-yearly vitamin A supplementation for children between six months and five years old “can reduce child mortality by almost a quarter and help prevent blindness.”"

@LetTheRedeemed There are multiple internet searchable people with the same first and last name that many suspect real life "Charlie" to have (based on images/threads on RPF). One of those names had some publically available criminal record or something but the other details didn't match to what we know about "Charlie".
In any case, he did finally rename the forum which is what we were asking for for a long time. But, it probably would have been better to just make a new website for Low-Toxin and keep RPF going rather than merge the latter into the forum.

Mathew Crawford is a very clever guy and I think he calls it as he sees it. eccentric interests. Certainly. But don’t we all.

Dang RIP Jwayne

@Peatful ok I get it. I wouldn’t want anything shared that wasn’t already publicly shared. I didn’t know if I missed some big news lol

Thanks for your kind reply
Remember
This stuff IS public recordIf someone wanted to investigate
The data is out thereAlthough
Honestly
I wouldn’t waste my time -
@Peatful
️I definitely have my reasons not to support lifegivingstore and lowtoxinforum but I wish Charlie well so I don’t need to go looking for more things he may or may not be doing wrong

Basically going to try to change everything Peat has said
Ok, but can anyone seriously tell me where Roddy and Dinkov came from? How did they just emerge as Peat's two lone disciples from the ether? St. Daniel the Mexican and St. Györgi the Bulgarian spreading the gospel of Lord Peat?
Why are they pushing supplements?
Is the Peat triad a clever psyop run out of D.C.? -
@Corngold go away Charlie

@risingfire
I'm mostly joking. Nothing against them, I think they're doing good work and are honest from what I can tell.This is only to say the viewpoint seems to be that Ray was infallible, or that his messengers were, too.
-
This really bugs me about the whole Peatosphere. There's no questioning allowed. If you point out errors or inaccuracies, people sperg the fuck out.
-
True, this is one of my irritations.
It's a net positive overall because a lot of these ideas aren't supported anywhere else, and yes, obviously a lot of the science was from Eastern Europe and Russia and is dated and suppressed in the West, until the military began doing similar studies. Anyways, I am not a dogmatic Peatard.I get that sometimes good things need to be gate-kept, but then the Peaters all paradoxically become the philosopher kings which theoretically would be health bureaucrats, and would be despised by the true P-rol-eat-arian.
I think Peat is an analogue of Pythagoras; there seem to be basic levels of initiation and authority even in the online sphere, clearly... isn't it all mostly online though?
-
@Corngold I don't agree with everything Ray said. Though, through real life experience I can say he made my life better. That being said, I'm not sure what your argument is
-
The thing that always gets me is the people that question Ray have never read or really listened to Ray. It's a sad state of affairs
-
I'm just saying occasional pufa is not going to kill anyone, and all food is poisonous to some extent just as Paracelsus said. I've read most of Peat's articles and it's helped me a lot.

@risingfire ,
Nutritionists have this power of persuasion. Some of them literally can persuade you to eat cows' poo like Aajonus if you listen to him for too long.
I think every piece of Peat's writings has been thoroughly chewded upon by many people because once you start reading him it is impossible to stop and then follows endless browsing of RPF and spending money on magical pills.
And Char... took it all away just by banning people, I guess many have withdrawal symptoms, some will be clinging on RP's ideas up to the end because ...Peat is the most misunderstood person in history

@Goodman
Interesting. I'm thinking sugar and carbs will have drawbacks but it's refreshing to hear a sane opinion about fruit, sugars, carbs these days. That said I think Peat's paradigm would be super-nutritive in like 1900 vs today with so much pollution and mechanized food production. But it is far more rational than carnivore, keto, paleo, etc. I don't understand taking supplements unless somebody is sick. I speculate that the alt health and homeopathic world benefits by inventing illnesses they can sell vitamins to cure. Yes it is a sick world but not only in a material sense.
