For me the topical works a treat. Life- Flo Magnesium oil.....
I usually use DMSO with it, so, .... !?!
Fast, easy, effective, and it doesn't have any 'loose bowels' activity, which is not a direction I need. (I already have a decent transit time 20-24 hours). For some folks who are constipated, oral may actually be better for this reason.
I use approx. 400mg at a go. 80 kg or so, and muscles always fairly taught, like wood! hehehe...
Also at times I buy the magnesium from the AG shop, WAY cheaper than the 'epsom salts' from the store, and it is great in a bath. Magnesium Sulfate I believe it is... .

Other than magnesium, as a mineral supplement, I do like pure water. Not just a supplement, but a staple... I realize that I have been drinking mainly rainwater or spring water for the most of 10 years now. So just normal air pollutants, not any fluoride/chloride.... . Not joking. When I go to town, or visit by car, I bring some litres of water with me, to remind me of how good clean water is compared to the city stuff.

@yerrag said in toxic heavy metals everyhwere:

Can I make the inference here that fertilizers used to make food are deliberately being laced with cadmium to pit toxins into the food supply?

Not exactly, as the Cd is found with the Phosphorus where it is mined, but, obviously they wouldn't want to take it out, (costs$$$) and if no immediate health issues present, then they will do it. AND on top of that there are 'other' fillers that are industrial wastes that are recycled, ie - put into the Scott's fertilizer mixes, etc.. . Yes, I totally agree, the Powers that would be are just trying to degrade us, spiritually, physically, mentally, culturally, etc.. .

@yerrag et al
About 10 years ago I had access to some Real Beef from a nearby farmer/neighbour. Totally organic, etc, and was very delicious. Oh yeah, and seemed extremely nourishing. I was researching soil related issues then, for my own garden, and my own interests. Turns out Cadmium is a big component of P in the fertilizers. All of the ones with P. (as in NPK, P= Phosphorus). Wherever they mine the P there is always some Cd. So, where the heaviest grazing is done, on especially dairy! farms, the Cadmium component is very high. This was in NZ, so the small land and big production of dairy and beef products inferred that most was high in Cadmium.

Also of note from that time of my research was that the heavy industries were making trades of waste by-products, so that a bunch of toxic waste materials were inside of the commonly used home garden and lawn 'fertilizer ' type products. Bascially poisoning your own yard, and you pay for it with $$$, and also eat the sh*t if you grow veggies with it. Organic amendments can be better, but not always. .... study up well lads and lassies, it is a jungle out there.

Abstract
Non-nutritive metals, such as cadmium (Cd), occur naturally in all agricultural soils, in soil amendments (e.g. biosolids), and to varying degrees in phosphorous (P) fertilizers. Its persistence in the environment and its uptake and accumulation in the food chain make Cd a public health concern. The main effect of Cd on human health is kidney disease, and although other adverse effects have been reported (e.g. pulmonary, cardiovascular, and musculoskeletal systems), controversy exists regarding their effects. The only known case of Cd toxicity (i.e. itai-itai disease) occurred with subsistence farmers in Japan growing rice on soils contaminated with industrial wastes. Cadmium behaviour in soil and its accumulation by crops is complicated. Numerous factors (e.g. soil pH, organic matter content, salinity, macro and micronutrient fertilizers, crops species and cultivar, and tillage) influence the bioavailability and uptake of Cd by crops. Because fertilization increases the risk of Cd transfer to the food chain, some governments have imposed limits restricting the Cd content of P fertilizers. However, scientific risk assessments have shown that P fertilizer containing Cd is safe and does not pose risk to human health.

@ddubb I just ate raw fish several days in a row. Mmmmm. No issues here, or with my missus.

I can get GI issues with bad oil from all fish and chips these days... usually cottonseed oil here in Australia, and of course gmo canola oil for many restaurants. A friend here who used to run a fish and chips shop in the 80's and 90's said they used lard for the deep fryers, and in the early 90's switched to cottonseed oil because of 'social pressures'. He said the chips were never the same 'texture and taste' afterwards. I told him about the health issues related to various fats, and he sort of doesn't care too much now as he is in his mid 80's! But he can see how the 'push' to certain ingredients/foods can be dictated by groups with nefarious intentions.

@Energia What kind of Bacteria? Otherwise a broad spectrum like Vancomycin would be used. I had once got a scratch (on a cement chunk) whilst swimming in the gulf coast as a kid. A Dark Line of my vein started at the scratch site at my wrist, and after a few hours it had moved up my arm to my biceps. I told my Pops about it and he grabbed me and took me to the hospital for IV anti biotics. Yep, if this line hits your heart, bad case of carditis or pericarditis. Not good.

10:00 Zulu time....
RPF now gets this page info:

Storms Rock The Dallas Texas area and Knocks out RayPeatForum.com Servers
raypeatforum17 on May 30, 2024

Early Sunday morning the 26th of May storms rocked the Dallas Texas area and took out the Ray Peat Forum servers. The hosting company declared a force majeure the damage was so extensive. We are in the process now of rebuilding the server and bringing the forum back online. At this time we do not have an ETA but soon as I get more info I will post it here. We have a backup of the forum right before the server went down. We are just waiting for the server to be fully brought back online to upload it. Soon as I have more info I will post here.

Re Storms in the Southern USA: I spoke yesterday to my Pops who is in the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and he said very strong weather from Texas thru to the East Coast. So this RPF "Website Down" could be related to that, OR, as has been said, the Lion just pulled the plug. I just checked and nothing... no wayback machine either! I am in Tasmania, and no nothing. I suspect he did 'erase' the old forum. Hope I am wrong.

I had been visiting the site once a week or so to research old threads, and sometimes make an occasional contributing content, but.... . It all went south in my humble opinion with the crazy aSS Mofo pushing "Poison Vit A" Purge = Health syndrome.

@HoldenCox
I drank that as a kid for a few years, love that Malt! Also Chocolate shakes with malt.UmmmHmmm,
I don't know what ingredients that are 'bad' are in it, but you could just try and get malted barley powder, etc., and do it yo-self.

Also try roasted chicory root. That is a nice earthy drink too.

You may be drinking this just to get more milk inside you, I dunno, you aren't forward in the rest of your 'peaty' diet to compare. Let us know how it goes.

Cadmium decreases testosterone.
Also of Note: Denmark has - or had - very strict laws regarding soil contamination from toxins like cadmium. The allowable cadmium in soil there was on the order of 1000 less ppm or ppb than allowable in NZ. I know because I researched this well about 12 years ago whilst living in NZ. Cadmium is present in the mining of Phosphates for fertilizers. NZ dairy industry has developed into milking of the cows intensively, up to 3 X daily! Therefore cows need grass, and grass grows with addition of super phosphates.

Below from internet: easily found.
"Cadmium has been linked to a potential decrease in testosterone levels. According to some studies, cadmium exposure has been associated with reduced testosterone synthesis. For instance, one study found that cadmium attenuates testosterone synthesis by promoting ferroptosis and blocking autophagosome-lysosome fusion. Another study discovered that cadmium induces testosterone synthesis disorder by testicular cell damage via the TLR4/MAPK/NF-κB signaling pathway, leading to reduced sexual behavior in piglets. Additionally, a study on postmenopausal women found a negative correlation between cadmium exposure and circulating levels of testosterone. These findings suggest that cadmium may have a negative impact on testosterone levels, although more research is needed to fully understand the relationship between cadmium and testosterone.

Great Postings, @haidut and all here. Just a quick finding when I was checking (before travelling and buying food/supplies) on the internet some frozen fish at semi-nearby shops..... Seems the preservative 223 = Sodium Metabisulfite is used on frozen prawns/fish/seafood. !!! I was going to buy some frozen prawns (from Northern Australia), but has this additive. So this form of Sulfite (or it's cousins in the same range) are just another additive to the already abundant use in the food industry.

This below relates to the thread and the lack of B vitamins or the lack of the potential function of B vitamins in one's diet!
from https://www.fedup.com.au/factsheets/additive-and-natural-chemical-factsheets/220-228-sulphite-preservatives

Sulphites destroy thiamine (Vitamin B1) so some experts recommend that foods which are a significant source of thiamine, such as meats, dairy foods and cereals should not be sulphited. In Australia, a number of pet cats and dogs have died from thiamine deficiency due to a steady diet of pet meat containing unlisted sulphites. Since sulphites cleave the thiamine molecule, thiamine in vitamin supplements can also be destroyed by sulphites. For this reason, in the USA there has been a total prohibition on the use of sulphites in meats since 1959, although sulphited meats such as sausages are still widely eaten in other English and Spanish speaking countries. Sulphites are also thought to destroy folic acid.

@AkJono Argggg... I just saw that this is private. Whoops. See what I can find.... .

I saw this on Telegram a few days ago, and finally decided yes to post it. Insect ingredients found in a variety of packaged goods at the German grocery stores. LIke candy, noodles, etc.. .

Is there one in English? For other countries' products?

Name of App is Insekten Scanner-

@Mr-X
Decades ago I had never had any hayfever or allergy symptoms, and then one day, in the early 1990s it hit me, as in heavy pollen was in the air in Springtime near Portland, Oregon, and I was quite abruptly with runny nose, heaps of phlegm, eyes watering, and strong sneezing. And I was driving in bumper to bumper traffic on a Friday arvo (afternoon). So naturally I tried everything, and hit or miss, and the most natural remedies that worked that year were TCM herbal formulas, Gan Mao Ling, and Er Chen Wan. In that order of usefullness. Since then I have also used zyrtec and it worked. For over 10 years now it has not worked for me. Only cypro, and I even tried zyrtec 2 years ago when the pollen was bad, and nothing - no relief. So, yes try and see what works, and be flexible if it doesn't.
Also do salt water cleansing if you have blocked nasal passages, rhinitis, like neti pot. I just 'snurf' warm salt water myself, over a suitable sink.
Good luck.

@Peatly @Peatful @Jakeandpace
Yes, I went 'to the old RPF' the other day and read this kind of ridiculous slandering and other accusations against Peat and his actions/orientations. He is in his mid 80's and has different requirements now, not the "Peat NOW believes in protein restriction"... . Such drivel. I had some limited hope that the RPF would revive, but.... nothing lasts forever. But at least some of us can "Think, Perceive, Act". Cheers.

We have been using f.lux app for the 'puters. Free and less blue frequencies...... ONe can adjust it as well as setting your location for "sunrise/sunset" for natural light adjustment.

And we use incandescent lights - ie old fashioned yellow light bulbs - in the room as well. (Plus go outside!!! Which is free also, for now).

Best.

Yes it is true, there is pre-bunking, post bunking, re-directing, nudging, manipulating goin' on!

On the RPF, there is a Thread entitiled "Ray Peat promotes Obesity".
??? WTF
some folks are writing 'against' said thread, but... it is the same 'TACTIC' everywhere you look, listen. Defame the promoters of truth, or promoters of 'illicit thinking', it is irrelevant how false the accusation is, and eventually, everypeep on the MSM train is going to follow the prompts, all the way to the Soylent Green machine, or whatever un-natural fate awaits them.
Critical thinking has been pre-bunked. Follow the Herd..... .

@C-Mex
As my 7th grade science teacher Mr. Eisler said, and had a poster to the same wordage = " Just because you are not paranoid, does NOT mean that they are NOT out to get you."

We were visited upon by some Jehova Witnesses last year. We were very rural, and they did the unconscionable. They opened a chained gate to the property, for vehicles (and people). We had two dogs then, but wimps. They could have been mauled alive. Stupid and illegal move by the idjuts. I told them "NOT interested. Please leave.".
Everyone in the countryside knows one doesn't enter a closed gated property without prior permission. No guns here to worry about, just big scary dogs.

They were collecting money for their own church plans in the area. ???

@Peatly
The movie "The Constant Gardener" .... .
After I saw that movie I thought "how long until they start this pharm-op on the West?". That was besides fluoride, radiated food, cancer causing pesticides/herbicides and of course just high yield/poor nutrition grains and produce. Anyhow, we will survive and thrive. Just gotta live it. Ciao.

@ThinPicking
The entity in ? is shady, and shifty, and obviously hiding something by not allowing wayback machine to do its' magic.
So, you are both onto the Shady bit.
But, yes, Cmex is in hardcore Rhino mode, "my way or the high way". Too bad for him.
Intelligent discussions could lead to enhancement.

@C-Mex said in New "Mission" of RPF:

I see what I see. I make connections and I decide for myself

Connections do not imply guilt. Guilt by association? Etc, etc., ... .
Mathew Crawford is freshly on a 3 hour vid with Mathew Ehret and friends... he has mapped out tons of the 'Blob'.... the web of connections between various Banking/Occult (was Theosophy now Scientology and friends)/CIA/Health Freedom Movement
etc.. .
These multitude of connections alone does not imply causation: ie-entity A is working for B.

Your connection made via the Cambridge University on a mailing site is interesting, but also kind of tenuous via the avenue you arrived at this information.
