@Cicero said in Who's still doing a PUFA depletion detox diet? (long terms results, hopes dreams, future plans):

I can't eat more than a few grams of PUFA without having symptoms. It's just not worth it to me to ruin my day for some french fries or whatever that don't even fucking taste good anymore. FUCK. It fills me with rage that this is the world we live in.

I ate fast food for lunch two days in a row. I could have eaten good stuff but I figured I would take the risk to see how it effects me after really restricting that junk. And oh man, even though I was taking aspirin anyways, which alleviated what would have been worse, it was pretty bad. At least 1-2 days after of what I'm guessing is estrogenic low mood/depression/irritation. I'm quite convinced that the gut is driving the brain - and vice versa.

And yeah, the fries weren't even good. The other stuff... wasn't even "great." I was literally still hungry after eating big portions of that slop. Bizarre. Still hungry, but not sated, higher blood pressure and sugar and lower mood. Lose lose situation.

the stuff i cannot get from my diet

as long as you aren't deficient food should offer all of it especially Peaty foods.

• Occasional testicle icing

why?

@lobotomize-me

quit taking supplements.

@jd_au

dried fruit? fresh or frozen it is.

@Rah1woot said in Tell me your opinion on the covid vaxx:

A lot of us here are orthorexic (i.e. fragility mindset) so we lack a solid appreciation of just how tough the organism can be in the face of poison/stress/damage. Even including the ideologized genetic stuff. Ironically the right-wing concept that the v will instantly kill you through genetic incorporation is rooted in their genetic reductionism. If this does not turn out to be the case at scale then perhaps that view should be reexamined or at least complexified.

Well put. It is mostly right wing narratives about the death shot. Actual independent criticism is skeptical of these dramatic claims but also of the purported benefits or goals of the vax. I don't know about you but I think their statistics are accurate that probably more than 80% of people got it. Yeah, we had to be intimidated by threat of losing job, no ability to travel, the nonstop propaganda of a deadly virus, etc. The "virus" and vax were both part of a major stimuli administered to the world like a piece of a food to a fishbowl...swarming and madness was the goal and was inevitable.

@gg12 said in Tell me your opinion on the covid vaxx:

I do wonder what will happen in the next few years

I think it's a waste of energy to think much about it. Our energy must be put into more practical short and long term pursuits. Only saying this because it's clear that the last few years drained too much energy from many people.

My opinion is this: we've had biological weapon research going on since WWII / paperclip. Any empire or military in history relied on the best weapons which included disease. Some say covid was fake and the vax was real. Some say covid was real and the vax worked. Some say both are fake; some think both are causing problems. It's so insidious and mind-numbing. I think there was good evidence that there's no such thing as the supposed virus, and that PCR testing can find false positives. However I am skeptical about what is known about the vaccines. Seems clear that metals and other toxic things are in them, and that they may have a weapon/disease component. I've heard numerous people irl with blood clotting, persistent colds, and other worse things, all of which I speculate were brought on by vaccine shedding (some were not vaxd). I heard people started feeling sick and getting head pain after 2 or 3 shots as they were required to to travel. Basically I think the contagion must be in the shots. Masks may have contained bad materials too, like the smallpox blankeys the Spanish gave the Indians from history class. Or not? The psychological aspect is the other part of the weapon being used against us. All sides of the government, all healthcare, all employers and retailers, insurance, etc. Everyone has to "play ball" (baal more like). Reading about Plum Island and Lymes Disease and other livestock diseases is a good place to start. These were "leaked" periodically over the years. Not sure if those stories are hoaxes or good cover-ups for intentional release of things like Lymes-infested ticks or foot-and-mouth disease on other continents. It makes me very angry and sad to see that weather modification and chemtrailing of the skies probably is increasing droughts, worsening storms, and adding toxins to Earth. This means there will be less life of any sort - less livestock, flowers, insects, etc., which is already in place and being pushed for by all governments. So the scumbag Steve Bannon with his "storm" talk is merely signaling the fact that the storm is approaching, that the state is on board, as are all states. Internet of bodies / smart-spaces/cities, black mirror type shit does appear to be on the horizon.

@pswany

canned pineapple, mango, pears. applesauce. when you stop believing in plastics and chemicals they disappear.

can you not buy mandarin oranges or frozen fruit?

@heretoday said in Am I the last PUFA depleter detoxer left in this world?:

It became much harder when I switched to starch and meat for me to do that with any chicken for pork fat. Unfortunately I didn't do well with sugar or even dried fruit, fruit juice. I stay with very lean meat.

Yeah that's a good idea. I'm even eating ground beef less, finding the fat/salt from milk or butter can take place of the satiating part of beef.

I haven't really looked deeply into it, but I find this interesting: Peat talked about the newborn brain having little to no pufa fat at all, which contradicts the fish oil and omega 3-6 and 9 fats being critical narrative. At the same time, he talked about how protein restriction can be beneficial for those past 20 or 30, as the body needs less of cystine, methionine, and tryptophan. This also basically contradicts the increasingly popular "protein powder" and high protein muscle-building narrative that I've heard since the late '00s.

In the first example, he's mentioning how brains/bodies accumulate pufa over time but aren't born with it; in the second he says growing bodies need those amino acids far more than in aging bodies. Anyways, I just wonder if PUFA wouldn't be an issue at all were it not for the recent industrialization of food? Like, naturally occurring, there is some in plants and milk, meat, etc. But it never reaches the amount found in seed oil, or nuts, right? The protein restriction analogy I make is that I rarely see older people eating 16 oz steaks, burgers, etc. Those that do are usually fat or unhealthy from smoking/alcohol, etc. Not a rule, but generally the "Carnivore" thing seems very fake and online-only. So I make the observation that naturally cravings seem not to desire the muscle meats and high protein foods. But then enter PUFA, and it basically rewires and poisons the brain in general, so its effects can't be trusted.

I can say frequent steak and egg eating a few years ago seemed to give me a good boost out of lethargy and I don't crave steak that much anymore. I believe this was helping a long running nutrient deficiency because I avoided beef and ate more bacon, deli meat, and junk stuff.

@heretoday

That was one of the first practical things I did after finding Peat. Still doing it by not cooking with seed oil and limiting fast food/frozen food etc. Not being neurotic about it, but if most days it's less than 4-5g I notice I usually feel better too. Not too worried about the pufa in eggs or meat though.
