New "Mission" of RPF
-
Is anyone still on the RPF? (Don't answer, we're being watched.) This person needs a life raft. Maybe send them a personal message?
-
@S-Holmes
Someone correct me if i'm wrong but can't admin read PM's when its being run on Zenforo? That person is being watched now. -
Why doesn't charlie post a before and after picture of himself, they love to talk about how no one on the Ray Peat diet does, so why is there no pictures to go with their great testimonies? They are all having miraculous results after two weeks surely they must all be glowing.

Seems Garett Smith has anger issues, probably from his lack of neurosteroids: https://x.com/MikeFaveScience/status/1769961846037954747?s=20
Reminds me of Walter Sobchak in The Great Lebowski.

@yerrag I'd need to see more evidence of a different Charlie. If you suggested 2014 Charlie is different than 2024 Charlie I'd probably agree. Though in the greater picture, he seems to have changed slowly over that 10 year span.
-
@Creuset partially transparent. I'm not defending him but he said it was a family store.
-
@risingfire Fair points. Personally, I'm still interested in hearing what everyone here thinks about more conspiratorial hypotheses. Acknowledging the adage about "never attribute to malice to what can be explained by stupidity," to my eyes, what's taking place at RPF looks like an orchestrated black-washing of Ray's ideas and 'our' Peat-inspired community. I would like to encourage everyone to continue speculating and bringing any new evidence to this board about Charlie's identity, motives and possibly hidden forces driving what we see happening there -- including @yerrag's hypothesis alongside others.
-
@ilovethesea didn't Charlie say he gained 30 pounds of muscle in a year or so? If that's the case, which I severely doubt, what did he weigh before.
-
@risingfire I think he said he used to be overweight/obese.
-
@T-3 my only speculation is money. There's a point where you stick with the basics in a "Peatarian" lifestyle. I use thyroid, vitamin E, dhea, magnesium and occasionally other things such as dht, androsterone and diamox. It's possible Charlie felt that market was saturated and wanted to provide a new market with low vitamin A approved supplements to increase revenue and take his business in another direction.
As far as his identity, I do not care that much to look into him
-
@dan-dominic let me clarify. I was referring to Garrett
-
I filed a medical malpractice complaint against Garrett Smith with the Naturopathic Medical Board in Arizona. Consider that the leading cause of blindness in children worldwide is lack of vitamin A. Further consider some dumbasses at the forum are now removing all A from their young children. I don't know how long these investigations take, but will report back as soon as I hear anything.
-
not making a whole new thread for the topic but the peatcoin bullshit is disgusting too, using Peat's name and image like that is gross. What the fuck is with all these grifters coming out after his death all desperately trying to profit off of his name. Not using his name and likeness for all these money making ventures is like the bare minimum respect one should show for him and his work.
-
Fair and measured sir. The very concept of naturopathic's probably needs some protection from collateral damage. And while there's licensing, this board should take a look.
Thank you for it.
-
Ive felt quite powerless watching this unfold.
Didn’t know this good intent would bring such emotion from me.
Like a true sigh of relief.So-
Thank you.
Regardless of the outcomePlease keep us posted as able.

The thing that doesn't make any sense is why he would alienate a good part of his existing membership and existing or potential customers with the hair-trigger banning and hostile rhetoric about Ray"s work. Last I looked, online readers were on the decline.
-
@ThinPicking The whole thing looks like a program to me. Make naturopaths and gun-toting white dudes look insane and dangerous. And make some gun-toting Christians sick while you are at it. To boot, destroy the legacy of Ray Peat and make him look like an incompetent dummy whack job.
-
@risingfire He only said that recently if I'm not mistaken.

Yeah, lol, somebody who heard of Peat thru say Mercola looks at the RPF and sees all this crazy stuff maligning Peat and referencing this completely deranged idiot. Better stick with the 'real' doctors.
Personally, my suspicions about Dr. Peat's death have been resurrected. Smith's work appears on RPF several years ago and purportedly some people see amazing results straight away but those of us who ignored it did just fine and didn't see this coming. That whole thread was probably full of disinformation. Then Smith finds a month old tweet about Peat which he uses to malign him sometime before his death and likely when his health was declining. Then Ray Peat dies mysteriously and we all know what unbelievable things have happened after that.
-
@C-Mex good question. It's possible business was slowing down. And he thought this was a possible way to cause traffic to RPF and thus to his store. I wonder if @haidut might have a better idea
