@Svet I can add custom CSS, users can change their theme (in settings) and I can customize any given theme. If people have requests and they stake out a theme and write the CSS themselves I’m happy to install it.

@Light No...

@oldchem I'm feeling that perhaps I should treat the administratorship like The Ring in LOTR...Toss it to the bottom of a volcano before it possesses me.

@oldchem Reading about the previous Peat forum admins fills me with dread.

@MasterPeatler If you have specific recommendations that can be implemented with css or styling, I'm all ears. There's a dedicated thread here for that kind of discussion: https://bioenergetic.forum/topic/659/display-changes/20

@CO3 Please post recipe if it works

@TopicalsOnBalls I like to eat chocolate chip cookies even though they have starch.

@Hugh Okay. There are several different wavelengths that amplify mitochondrial activity, not just 840nm, which is why an incandescent or infrared bulb is ideal. It has a very broad spectrum.

@Dezbio My first instinct would be Progest-E. Topical around the site of injury and also applied to gums. Coffee, sugar, B1, can also be helpful.

@Ixionereus Alright, I made it a little bit bigger. If you need it larger give this a try.

@abe What's your protocol for egg wash and Bloo? And what kind of results have you seen?

@Hugh I would recommend just an infrared light (or multiple). They're vastly cheaper and as or more effective. For example this or this.

@Amazoniac Sorry for just seeing this. I've added a few of your changes, thanks for all of your suggestions. Here's the current css:

@Ixionereus You can usually change that on your browser. I might up the font size a tad as well.

@ilovethesea I have a copy of that page in this .zip file: https://github.com/o1brad/peatbot-data

@DonkeyDude It's hard to know the t4/t3 ratio of NDT or to dial up or down one or the other. Natural thyroid is also very inconsistent in terms of the absolute dose of t4/t3 per gram weight. You could have finer-grained control if you use cynomel/cynoplus.

Your symptoms don't seem like the nervousness/cortisol reaction to me, they just seem like an underdosing of thyroid. You could take it with meals multiple times a day, or you could dial up the T4.

@Light I scraped and backed up that forum thread a while back. You can find it on: https://github.com/o1brad/peatbot-data, unzip the file, it's the only markdown .md file.

@Light Check out https://peatarchive.com/ - searchable mirror of the forum

@Amazoniac I vote yes. There are really good archives of his work, particularly https://wiki.chadnet.org/ray-peat and https://expulsia.com/health, but it's no harm to have more.

I'm working on a separate but related project where we're trying to collect all of his writings and interviews. I have 2,028 lines in a spreadsheet, each referring to an individual article, book, newsletter, or interview (I haven't deduplicated it yet). The main drawbacks at this point of existing archives are:

• There are extant works not yet brought online. Few categories for this -- some of the Townsend letters, a physical VHS tape we're trying to track down, probably some of his newsletters, at least two journal articles, and likely more I'm not aware of.
• We don't have access to his papers. Ideally, we'd need someone who has contact with his estate to digitize and release them. This is a subject that should be approached with extreme respect. Unfortunately, I and several others have contacted raypeatpublishing@gmail.com, the appointed archivist for his work, and received no response.
• His work is in mixed media. His Master's thesis and PhD thesis are in really janky .pdfs that don't OCR well. Many of his interviews remain untranscribed, or the automatic transcriptions by bioenergetic.life aren't fully checked. It would be great to have it all in plaintext with the original source preserved.

This would be a very large undertaking if done to a high standard but one I feel would be a great service to the community.

@yerrag Thanks for your thoughtful comments and kind feedback. I really do hope to keep a light touch on moderation here, so "seeming absence" is a perfectly fine way to put it. Off-topic or degenerating threads (or posts) will be sent to The Junkyard. Threats of violence or calls for violence are not allowed. I hope not to have to interfere on much else. My hope is that people with engage one another with civility, respect, and in a spirit of collaboration or friendly opposition.
