@Amazoniac No problem, done

@Norwegian-Mugabe Applications are now closed. @ThinPicking @Kilgore @NotShanalotte are the new moderators.

I'm looking for a few (2-3) moderators. There seems to be a uptick in spam to the forum and I'm not able to delete it soon enough - takes me a day or two.

My goal is to find people who will be:

• Completely nonpartisan - they do not selectively moderate based upon people's political or philosophical views.
• Apply the rules fairly and judiciously. The only real rules are no violent threats and no spam.
• Do not abuse their authority or go on power trips.
• Remain active and responsive to reports.

Send me a PM if you are interested.

@yerrag I just increased the length of PMs by 1000x. Let me know if that works.

Those two articles, along with his website, should have enough references for at least a stub about him.

@Norwegian-Mugabe @Kilgore Didn't mean it to be passive aggressive at all. I think it would be good to have a Ray Peat wiki page, since the top result when Googling "Ray Peat Wiki" is the idiotic RationalWiki forum page. I think that making a short stub article could be very simple and quick. There's definitely the talent and knowledge on this forum to make it happen.

@HyperTorless Love the idea, just updated the default setting.

@Kilgore Make a page if you want to see one

@Peatly I think people who read the thread for themselves can come to that conclusion. I don't want to be in the business of determining which posts are truthful and which are lies. Lying is a grave sin, and I recommend nobody does it. Being truthful brings you closer to God.

@BeamsOfEnergy Yeah - I've found that only mixed tocopherols work for some reason. I tried using the "Everyday Beauty" brand on Amazon and it also only has one form of Vitamin E in it and didn't have good results.

@BeamsOfEnergy What vitamin E did you use?

Turns out he addressed the topic in 1985. A friend of mine ordered the Townsend Letter for Doctors back issue and shared it with us.

Editor: You printed a letter to the editor regarding Vitamin A; I've been tracking down Vitamin A scare stories of ryears, and when I wrote to the researcher mentioned, he denied working on Vitamin A.
In 1974 there was a well circulated rumor, in Washington and Oregon, that Vitamin A had caused blindness. I traced the story to a professor at the University of Oregon Medical School, but she refused to talk to me about it.
I think the symptoms associated with moderate amounts of Vitamin A in susceptible people are the result of temporary supres-sion of thyroid function, which can result from an excess of any unsaturated oil. Vitamin E, which spares Vitamin A, has a powerful effect in preventing toxicity from large doses of Vitamin A. In traditional diets, people who ate fish livers also ate fish thyroids.
The three big dangers in the U.S. diet are iron supplementation, excess of unsaturated oils, and sodium restriction. If you would like a review of research on these dangers, I would be glad to write it up.

@ThinPicking You're free to voice your opinion as always.

By user request, I've added a new plugin called Two Way Block which will allow you to block people so that they can't see your posts and you can't see theirs. Feel free to provide feedback or commentary.

@fucker I had seborrheic dermatitis diagnosed by a dermatologist in 2016 and gave me topical corticosteroids and said it was uncurable and I'd have to use them for the rest of my life. Many years later I was told by a different doctor that these steroids "thin the skin" and that I shouldn't use them, they referred me to a dermatologist to get off of them. I went to a different dermatologist and they said the steroids were fine and I shouldn't worry about it. I later learned about red skin syndrome, an iatrogenic disease that comes from the runaway effect of using topical steroids to treat skin conditions, increasing vascularization and thereby requiring more steroids to control. The only cure is going cold turkey on steroids which then causes the skin to painfully molt away.

I did some peat-world studying/experimentation in 2020 and tried topical retinol (used idealabs retinil) and within two weeks it completely solved the problem for me. I mixed a couple drops in water & coconut oil and used it as a moisturizer. Never came back. I use estroban now, just 2-3 drops whenever I suspect symptoms are coming. I think it was a vitamin deficiency.

We've also had multiple reports like @Icecreamfan77's about Bloo helping. Good luck with your experimentation, I hope you find something that works for you.

@Norwegian-Mugabe No problem, done. You too.

Right here: https://bioenergetic.forum/category/21/current-events

Noticed people are posting about the news so thought it would be nice to have an organized category.

@brad As promised, I've restored the topic sans the posts of the OP.

Just an admin. note - the author of the topic deleted this topic. Other contributors complained that their posts were also deleted. I went through the topic to delete the original author's posts and restore the posts of the other contributors. In the future, after a topic has reached a few posts, it cannot be deleted by the OP. If the OP of this topic would like their posts restored they can just let me know and I will do so.
