A quick reminder to all, that if you do the 3 or 4 year strict PUFA restriction, get your carb intake up, get metabolic rate up, you have to look at any PUFA exposure as being rate limited as far as its damage. I'm not saying go back to eating PUFA. However, as an optimized "peatarian" specimen, one can afford the occasional pufa exposure. Again, NOT to engage in a full pufa meal, but some amounts that would come with the occasional chicken meal, and that is a good quality, whole food chicken meal at that, shouldn't be fret about. When you are in this state, your vulnerability should not be, ideally, 1:1 to your average person eating the average western meals. There is a thing of resilience to keep in mind, BY virtue of this optimized system.

I'm not saying willy nilly get into the PUFA when you want. I'm simply being more so a voice of reason. And this is after the 4 years or so of depletion and a kind of strictness.

@heretoday It's funny I added oats in 2023 for a stint. After a while, I don't even want it let alone CRAVE it. But also, it didn't feel right to have it so many consecutive times. I think of BETA glucans as inherently a kind of toxin, as they sequester cholesterol - to which, the popular mainstream view of "lowering cholesterol" mechanically is seen in a good light - making me feel nonoptimized for lack of a better word. If you are after all in fairly good health, and you are maintaining enough cholesterol for thyroid turnover into helpful, protective hormones, a.k.a the true and right way to lower it, any sequestrant or sequestrant-like substance I think would stand in the way of feeling optimal as it mechanically removes the fundamental substance needed to build desired hormones.

To add: yes! it does feel nice to know others are still doing it!

Still at it. But I try not to overthink it too much, but certainly avoid most PUFA and most of the types of food and style of eating most people engage in. I am better off for it in a multitude of ways. About 10.5 years in. I also have 30 to 50 oz. of OJ and/or OJ with a few oranges and/or fruit punches or other juices. No citric acids added of course or anything else for that matter. I also use canned peaches in sugar water or mixed fruits.

LOL Vitamin K doesn't cause "blood clotting," this is an ignorant carry-over from the medical industry. Substances either build material for proper coagulation or they break them down. Clotting is caused by aberrations and break off in tissue structure, serotonergic platelet aggregation, protein malformations, etc.

The true way to derive nutrients out of brown rice and make it digestible is to soak it. And every 8 hours or so, change the water, doing this for about a day or 2.

@alfredoolivas Mauritio is referring to this one. I remember I was watching that thread when we were all there.
lowtoxinforum DOT com/threads/niclosamide-for-fat-loss-uncoupling.42781/page-6

BTW, no worries about his nonsense paywall. Simply using g00gle with a site exclusive search string (at least g00gle turns out to be good for ONE thing!) You can search for anything on that forum using this method.

Example: Niclosamide site:raypeatforum.com

Yes I also stick it to him by NEVER typing the low toxin blah blah title. That is RAY PEAT'S work he built that forum on. I will always type the old, true name.

And yes, I will never post actual inbound links to that forum. Leaving links only helps "his" forum's ranking.

@Mauritio said in Niclosamide reduces serotonin and glutamate:

Thanks, I'll look into US options.

@Mauritio sorry if I missed it, but where do you get this stuff from?

@paperclips43 these are good questions and thoughts you have IMO. I have been thinking about sleep and what they have been claiming to be correct for a while now.

I would say Al Gore's "predictions" were never predictions but a script handed to him as the dullard, puppet-boy he was to repeat an agenda that the elite knew they would use as crisis for the future 4th industrial revolution that is occurring as we speak. All crises in fact. Or, "crises." From bullshit pandemics that never were to so-called climate change. They use it all to implement change (that would otherwise be met with aggressive resistance by people if too abrupt), legislations for control, and cultural shifts. All this being tied together by powerful technology that satiates the complacent public as they get their memes, porn, and social media nonsense, which then said technology will be utilized for a powerful, centralized technocracy. You can always see the clues to that. You notice how Elon Musky Musk has become a "bad guy?" They love flipping the script so the sleeping public is never the wiser that certain individuals are banded together by this agenda. By the way, it was literally called agenda 21 that was pushed form the 90's til now. It included fake pandemics. They gave rise to even more recent events such as Event 201 that took place in NY at the end of 2019 talking about what would happen if a virus shut the world down.
