@CO3 said in Ray Peat was a Stalinist:

anyone with a clear mind and a strong metabolism that is politically engaged in his generation defaulted to supporting the Soviet Union

Is this the No True Scotsman argument but high CO2?

@Mauritio

This is a shame. I enjoyed my conversations with you and @Jam on the iodine threads.

I think I'm OK posting in both places as I'm happy to give a generalised Low A approach a go...no different to how I gave SSKI a go...

I'm not looking for a Great Wise Old Sage to shape my life, but I am happy to run with thoughts that interest me.

@ZeroTron said in Whats the deal with "Vitamin" A?:

Seen some evidence that vitamin A and iodine are synergistic. More A consumption = more Iodine needed. Iodine suppresses the thyroid when you have insufficient A but if sufficient A exists iodine actually causes more thyroid activity.

Anecdotally, this seems to be true.

This is interesting with liver being high in selenium, an iodine co-factor. But Ray didn't like iodine supplementation. Personally I've used it and seemed to do OK. It didn't blow my thyroid up.

I mentioned this on RPF. I've used it, my hair feels great with it applied. It's more about maintaining a decent head of hair for me, but I saw some pics with improvements.

It's just buffered niacin.

@Barghest @TheRealPeater there might be some more on Miles M if you search the Darkside chat, I remember seeing something about the fallout between him and Josh a while back. I just know his story sounds fake as hell... he’s a broke artist, supposedly makes a living from people commissioning his paintings, and then somehow has time to research and write multiple 20 page documents per week on every hoax throughout history and all the genealogy.

Here’s Josh claiming Grant Genereux is the “Miles Mathis of nutrition” https://cuttingthroughthefogcom.wordpress.com/2018/05/08/defending-miles-mathis/comment-page-19/#comment-11534

Thanks I will read that later!

@deadkaczynski

Same!

I never expected all these turns of events...

"you have to recognize the Season we are in"

At least he's honest.

Good day Peater. I wonder how long before "rationalwiki" create a page for bioenergetic.forum

Good day ThinPicking! It will be a badge of honour when the eternal midwit emporium does decide to do a write up...

@ilovethesea said in New "Mission" of RPF:

@TheRealPeater Well my first gut feel that he was fake was the sheer volume of content produced, it’s just not possible for one person... likely a committee. But if you look up Darkside papers telegram he has a paper on Miles which highlights some other inconsistencies.

Thanks I will have a look.

innocent Garrett healing righteous Christians with his miraculous discoveries.

Am I the only one that just read about it, thought about it, concluded "Yeah...I have been smashing the Vit A for years and feeling a bit bad, I'll just cut out liver for a while and see what happens. I can always add it back in,"

I never expected all these turns of events...

Miles Mathis, who is a higher level controlled opposition

What makes you say this? (I am curious, not looking for an argumet)
