Danny Roddy's twitter/X account has "disappeared"

hes alright tho no hate

From Danny's telegram today:
"I'm an advocate for sick people, who I think would be best served by the information that Ray Peat and others provided. If I can satirize or mock performative health practices driven by hype or monetization, to help orient a sick person in a better direction, I will do so without hesitation. If you don't understand where I'm coming from, then maybe you've never been that sick, or haven't interacted with allopathy or alternative medicine enough to experience how impotent, dangerous, and demeaning the strategies typically employed are."
@Peatful totally agree!
@dapose I know what you mean, I have found Danny's approach and communication a little "vague" at times, though I give the benefit of the doubt and assume he's trying to "guide" as opposed to dictating - just my thoughts and assumption. It's similar to how some of Ray's interviews were somewhat vague too in terms of advice, however I later understood this to be him guiding that specific question/person in that particular situation.

Hope he rejoins twitter to crack more jokes.

@Ismail wow man thanks for sharing that quote. Yeah, I wasted like 2 years of following Peaty stuff (so far as exchanging emails) and not availing his foundational advice first, stuff like topical application of lidocaine, antibiotics, and actual synthetic thyroid (T3) instead of my monomanic naturalist fallacy chasing things like herbs and desicated thyroid (they had minimal impact).
I don't think people understand how reductionist and monomanic (obsessive interest on a single thing) alt-health gets. For instance, blocking a blue led light on a fridge may be a nice quality of life thing if that fridge is in your bedroom at night, but holy crap, it's not doing anything to save your life like getting digestion under control is.

"People wonder why I don't make much content anymore, but they might not know that I'm a chicken farmer."
He could be like the owen benjamin of peating. Farming, conspiracy and bass guitar.

Inside rodney there are two wolves.
"I think people forget how organized coronavirus was. If power can wrangle practically the entire world into getting vaccinated without any consequences whatsover, what exactly can they not do?"
Violate the speed limit.

@LetTheRedeemed
There was a cult called Love Has Won in Colorado that insisted on using colloidal silver for healing or enlightenment or whatever tf. The lady leader died by poisoning and alcoholism; the cult members transported her body over state lines; legal problems ensued. The whole thing is NUTS.Anyways, my point being: even some German New Medicine and probably TCM and other alt health people in Peat-sphere are recommending things (methylene blue!?) that are crazy or simply novelties.
Even simple Peat things like aspirin can be dangerous for some, and the vitamin k2 caveat is also worth considering when using it. Ironically I always think of mithridatism in the Peat-sphere... everything is poison at certain amounts, and we can build up immunity to various poisons.
Bruce Lee supposedly died from a tranquilizer containing aspirin and meprobamate.
A study posing a particular theory on the cause of death:
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9664576/
Again... not saying aspirin caused his death. I read he took it regularly. Maybe foul play involved? Maybe a fake event altogether? Idk.I get trying new things, but there's a huge disclaimer of "take it with a grain of salt."

@Corngold said in Danny Roddy's twitter/X account has "disappeared":
"take it with a grain of salt."
️ and it's just a bottle of tiny little 65mg capsules. Taken as needed for the evaluation of bullshit potential. -
@Corngold wild. People really just need to take more thyroid and progest-e
-
The Ray Peat community is very confusing. You never know whether "take it with a grain of salt" is an idiom or actual diet advice.
I've never been a big party attender, but I never went to a party where I didn't probably offend most of the people there by talking about what I was interested in. (Ray Peat)
-
I might hazard to say they're all physiological advisories in one way or another. I'm particularly fond of the old "don't let it go to your head".

I think it was Robert Anton Wilson the said, never 100% believe in your own bullshit. I’d say most of us get this sentiment here. I think most of the sick influencers who just took a crash coarse in Jack Kruse aren’t well enough to feel how narrow and inconsequential and maybe harmful their current bullshit path is. Which seems like what Danny is saying in telegram. In a weird way Carnivore dieting was the most preparatory path to Peat because you saw how bullshit most health advice in general is. And you do get a big boost in health and vitality for a bit and then you just look at the Bioenergetic world and you can chew on these ideas from a distance and try on what fits for you. I really don’t know how Peating would work if you were a normy and just started trying to do Peats approaches.

@dapose
The Good Reset:I was a happy normie, 40 lbs overweight, who never tried CICO or carb restriction. I cut back seed oils, ate carrot salad, a daily aspirin, and took thyroid. I feel amazing.

@Corngold I think k1 is more effective for aspirin tbh .k2 mk4 works but k1 works better at way less dose (from leafy greens even, not even a supplement).
-
@sunsunsun Cooked leafy greens I'm assuming?
-
@Luke @ThinPicking Couldn't agree more.
@LetTheRedeemed You're very welcome buddy. I think all of us have stumbled and made mistakes on the "path" (as it were), every day is a learning experience. As @Corngold alluded to, "...one mans poison...", which I think clearly shows that we must be rigorous in assessing our own needs and reactions etc.
@ThinPicking love your humour!
-
@Ismail yes
-
@Luke lmao exactly. Don't get me wrong, it's a great space and area of research. But I think "avoid extremes" is at odds with Blake's quote about the road of excess leading to wisdom, or whatever it is. That's basically self-evident, but it's bad advice.
Take tattoos for example - no reasonable, wise, decent person advises a young person to get tattoos. I've never heard anyone with them recommend that I get them. They simply acknowledge they have them, and then maybe talk about their artistic or philosophic interests, romance, family, or religion, etc. A lot of times they don't even have a reason. It's peak "normie" activity. Point being "take progest-e and eat aspirin" is hardly any different.
Science reflects that more tattoos correlates to worse mental health, suicidality, substance abuse, etc. It reflects a path that has built-in co-morbidities and negative consequences.
That can't be said for the Peat-sphere in general, but it can be said of people acting without thinking and following "normie" mass culture, or any subculture for that matter.

great quote. For me, reading or seeing "carnivore" just took the guilt away from meat-eating. No exaggeration - I was always told butter, eggs, steak, and meat were really bad, raised cholesterol, all of that. I forgive the people who said this, but I was proceeding into a more carnivore territory when I began reading Peat
