@CO3 I'm interested in trying FOS for sibo. Does anyone know of a source for relatively small amounts (or that otherwise has it for cheap)? I saw 200 mg for a few days from Peat - is that a fine dose?

@DMS You can get it on Amazon. Only high doses require a script.

@izkrov Thank you! Great resource.

Hello Peatfrens, please share your thoughts on orange juice. Does organic matter? I'm currently drinking the whole foods brand, but it's a bit expensive, so I'm curious if the cheap, nonorganic ones are still peaty enough.

@CO3 Please poast your broth recipe somewhere where it can be viewed without a twitter account. I'd like to try it.

@CO3 Worth testing it on scars? That's all I have in the way of wounds currently.

Hello Peaters, my girlfriend is super cold all the time regardless of temperature. How fix? Hypothyroid is my best hypothesis, but I'm not sure. I can provide more info, but I'm not sure what's relevant. Dietary suggestions preferred, but supplements are fine too.

I home roast (light) ethiopian. Typically brew in a french press with an electric kettle. Zero plastic involved, which is a nice bonus. I'll get an espresso machine soon so I can try my hand at roasting good espresso beans. I've been getting really nice fruit flavors lately, so I highly recommend home roasting if you're interested. You can start off roasting in an oven @ 450 for ~7 minutes. Just listen for popping noises, wait up to a minute, then take them out to cool.

@Bran I've found that bodyweight sissy squats strengthen my knees and prevent pain after other exercises that're hard on the knees, but that's probably not a great idea when you're already injured. I suggest resting your knees until the pain goes away and then trying that.

@Peatly Great article, thank you. I've been using 5000 IU in olive oil since that's what I have available. I may stop the iodine to avoid confounding variables. I did take before pictures, so if it works, I'll provide proof. If any of you have application suggestions, I'm happy to test them. The olive oil is a little inconvenient.

@Pat-Yera @rapscallion Trying topical D, iodine, and massaging with castor oil. Application site is supple and has a glow to it. Hopefully it'll reduce the scar. I'll report again in a week or so

@parke Any positive/negative effects to report on lifting performance?

@ah Powder is best, but if you prefer capsules, note that they often have deceptive labeling. A magnesium glycinate supplement might say "400 mg magnesium" when it actually contains 400 mg magnesium glycinate, which is less than 25% elemental magnesium. Powder is just a lot easier to accurately dose. Try both putting it directly into your mouth and mixing it in a drink before you give up on it.

@JulofEnoch Thanks for the info. I've largely eliminated PUFA and recently started eating the rayp eat carrot salad. I eat liver too, but I did that before peating. My interest is mostly curiosity, not to resolve any specific problem.

@Pat-Yera Very interesting. I see the research is about vitamin D injections - is there any reason to believe topical application would also be effective? I'll try for a week or two regardless and report back.

@mostlylurking Thank you, friend. Peat bless.

@peatistan I've also heard mention of "kill, rape, eat" before, but we obviously don't want to kill ray peat, so I'm not sure what to think. I believe Evola talked about this.

You guys have shilled me into trying it, but I have some questions. I've relatively new to peating, so I'm not sure about dose or how to take it (I've heard of people doing many different things, topical, oral, on gums, etc.). Also, is progest-e better than plain progesterone? Is there anything else I should take with it? I lift and would like to keep T levels high, if that's relevant.

@CurmudgeonApple Effects are minor, but I've tried it for ~1 week periods before and it definitely works. Just speculation here, but it seems to give a temporary boost rather than permanent improvement.

@Hando-Jin it's super easy to make mustard (or powder) from seeds, which you can get in any store. Just grind up and combine with water. Add vinegar to stabilize the flavor if you're going to store it.
