@oliveoil Yeah it's illegal here! In other European countries it's not, but in Spain it barely exists. So we have the option between UHT and regular pasteurized milk (the one in the fridge), both are homogenized.

The best commercial milk I've had wasn't even raw milk (although this often tastes a lot better), but it was Dutch milk in a large chain supermarket. It had the name of the cow on it, and looking at the cream top it was not homogenized. Twitter user Click talked about how homogenization is more of a problem with cow's milk than the pasteurization.

@TurkishPeater I've seen several people talking about copper supplementation etc, I assume because it's a common low score on bloodwork (which I've never done in 3 + years of this stuff). Again, the question arises whether the nutrient is low because it's not being consumed enough, or if other vitamins (I'm thinking mainly of D) are deficient or not fulfilling their function properly. I actually wore a copper chain for a while and developed a fungus on my finger because mold thrives in a copper-rich environment. And then the supplements are toxic for another reason, I think they're prone to oxidation? Not sure.

@HyperTorless2 Most important tools for oral hygiene are a tongue scraper and possibly a waterpik. Oil pulling is very useful too, and of course a good diet

Weird thing to do. You can get copper supplementation via easier routes through jewellery and cookware, and even then it's often not necessary. Ray also never once recommended taking copper, particularly the toxic form in supplements.

Either way, no you're not gonna die. Flowers of sulphur directly depletes copper, but I assume you might not have that at hand. The brain fog will stop

@Charlie ah yeah thanks for the advice squints mod from the Ray Peat Forum

@newmexico lol

@peatilian MB should be used in small, even tiny doses while carefully watching for any possible problems. I've taken it countless times and never had my urine change color. It's strange so many people refuse to take it in conservative doses.

@OrpingtonClose "What I don't get is why the german regime seems anti-marxian for the marxists."

If we start talking about all the things you don't get in this thread it's gonna cause issues with the server load

@Juri Stalin The premise of that book is so horribly retarded, but I commend you on being able to read an entire book at least, even if it's written by a complete charlatan. Is it all a great conspiracy that files hidden for years now show that Stalin explicitly begged France and the UK to attack Hitler together, an offer which they rejected? Is that all made up?

@Juri FIFTY SIX GIANT TOMES LENIN WROTE. Stalin read more in a MONTH than you will in your whole life. You're a moron. I know Russian as a second (well, fifth) language, so please refrain from posting your little retard links for Yanks

@AdonaiLukather It's interesting that Stalin was a seminarian when he was younger, and that while he was in charge the amount of churches grew from something like 500 to 22000 (still about half the number of before). Hawkeye alludes to it there but Stalin stopped many of these purges himself, because he was opposed to them and they were used by opportunists. The way we conceive of his power is not in line with the way the USSR actually functioned, it was less centralized than we might imagine. When '''the great purge''' happened the very first thing he did was condemn the actions of opportunists.

Ray's quote wasn't intended to amalgamate the organized forms of Christianity with Marxism-Leninism, just to show Ray's opinion of marxism as a science, he only happened to mention Christianity there, to accurately represent how Marx's ideas developed and to show that this is a science that can be used in different ways. Yet it establishes a great point; that this method, because it's based in reality, exists whether your ideology forbids it or not. I find the fact that these churches would condemn it a great feather in its cap, since they were the ones hoarding land and wealth. Of course the benefactors of this continuous robbery would be very much against the rise of the proletariat. They owned son much land, and collaborated with the Czar, and continue to uphold this violent, thieving regime to this day, going as far as to make a saint of the man.

The Church was HATED by its most religious members in Russia, long before the Revolution, because they got big and fat off the money and land they got from the state.
The Soviets tried to correct this, took the land only amidst famines, and this is what earns them the status of being this vicious regime towards believers, when there is not a single religious capitalist state in existence! They were just as atheist as let's say the US in their state system.

As long as churches act as collaborators with these regimes, they will meet the same fate when faced with revolutions, that much is sure. It's interesting that the clergy under Stalin is seen as collaborators when they were forced to focus on the faith and its members rather than on collaborating with the Czar for wealth and land. The latter is seen, especially by many orthodox converts in the west, as righteous Christian behavior somehow, and it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy where by getting fat off the backs of aiding feudalism and capitalism, you cause the Church to become the main target for any righteous revolutionaries. The Orthodox Church you have in mind is not the one that existed before the Revolution, or it was but only in its hermits and monks and philosophers, and it's no the one that is gleefully getting back its land from the current Vlasovite regime in Russia.

@brad I think that's fairly obvious, and the relatively light-hearted nature of the product also lends itself to that purpose IMO. I think it's cool that it allows places like these to exist. like you said it's not marketed as something exclusive.

@TurkishPeater In my experience cacao is great. If you can find something from South America rather than Africa, I think studies have shown the heavy metal conmtamination to be much less severe. You can often taste it too. Excessively bitter, metallic chocolates are often African ones. If you can find an organic brand, confirmed to be from South America (a particular country being mentioned is even better) this is ideal. Same is true of the cocoa powder. Oxfam has good chocolates that don't contain lecithins, and probably produce cocoa powder too. It is very beneficial, the proteins in chocolate are anabolic and chocolate also contains selegiline

@brad Since you're making the forum obviously it's up to you, I made this thread mainly to express I think a lot of these ads could scare people off, making them think this profit is the goal of this sphere.

@hootchy This is a work by Stalin elucidating Marx's broader scientific philosophy as applied to history.

Marx did not come up with the 'labor theory of value', this is an aspect of classical works of bourgeois economists like Adam Smith. Marx's theory is about surplus value from labor, and is an expansion of this common sense aspect of most economic theories. It's also not a measure of whether something is true whether people you dislike say they ascribe to something. You should read Marx, if just to know why you disagree.

@brad I vote for regular 'ugly women in your area want to FUCK' type ads

Very simple book written by Stalin as an intro for the average person into the materialist ideology. There's a few audiobook versions out there too. I think it's a very good read if you're confused as to what Ray meant when he said materialism was a science, that he was a Marxist. etc. I made a tweet once saying Marx is to eceonomics and history what Ray is to biology, and when you read this great introductory work you will understand this better. I also invite anyone to read or listen to it and give arguments against it. as I particularly think this is important reading for all the fascist/RW people who are into Ray's works.

Q: "What does Ray think of Marx's scientific method and social revolution?"

A: "Several Christians and capitalists have said Marx's science was very useful. For example, Nelson Rockefeller said he understood Marx as well as the leftist reporters he was talking to, but he used Marx's ideas to increase his power and wealth. That's the nature of a science. Anyone can use it to do what they want to for good or bad purposes. But where Marx got his ethical orientation was right out of Christianity. Christian communism and Christian socialism had been going on almost 2,000 years when Marx created a scientific understanding of why society is built the way it is. But the way you use that scientific understanding, Rockefeller knew it could be good for him to understand society that way. "

@alpine-raspberry yeah but have it be like a random one for dickpills or whatever. I don't want this to become some place to sell 30$ salt or Progest-E copies that ignore the existing patent

@nrthcanyon you can run but you can't hide

@Sugar You 'believe'? Then quote him on it, otherwise don't mention it. Can we have some basic level of respect for the man?
