It's all a scam.

Agree.

while it didn't help Abraham Lincoln even a little.

I wonder if Lincoln was also a hoax. The story is ridiculous and obviously created a cottage industry over 150 years.

Seems he was trying to figure out what that actually means with or without too much imposition.

Yeah I can see this point given the time period in which he lived. If his stance on nutrition is alternative to western imperial/fascist nutrition, then yes it's relevant to ask how food and energy determines society. He said energy is a consequence of structure. I think Louis Sullivan (?) Said form follows function, and this is very similar, as form/energy have an aesthetic and social significance whereas function is structure. Funny that this can be taken towards radical individualism or radical social-ism. I keep seeing the horseshoe theory everywhere...the limits of the individual are the limits of the group, and group size and number needs to be considered.

Goodys aspirin is a powder you dissolve in water. I think it also has acetaminophen and caffeine though.
Bufferin contains calcium carbonate and a few antacids intended to ease stomach pain.
I've taken Bufferin a bit, but it seems weaker. I prefer the cheap off-brand aspirin that has additives Peaters hate, though I think it's insignificant. BC aspirin also contains some caffeine and a few additives but is dissolvable.

I was always worried about getting stomach pain but I've so far had zero issues taking aspirin. It's definitely been a life saver even before finding Peat. I don't think you want to get too creative with application... of course, you could always find a willow tree and chew on the bark.

@Rah1woot said in Muscle Pain:

However, what I have since learned is that it is a serotonin agonist preferentially into what is known as a serotonin "autoreceptors", which play a role in regulating the synthesis and distribution of serotonin. So in effect the drug causes the body/brain to think "I have enough serotonin" and actually lowers the overall amount.

Yes, as I understand and would attest, social trust and openness increase with usage which is opposite serotonin. I think of serotonin as self-serving, more introspective. Pretty sure cannabis is pro-serotonin and is linked to "Serotonin Syndrome" in a few studies.

Psychiatrists have unbelievable powers right now, and psychologists too. They prescribe uppers and downers to "depressed" patients who continue using marijuana and other stuff regularly. Somehow these "doctors" people sleep just fine at night.

I think R.D. Laing was using LSD to treat schizophrenia, depression and other illness in the 1960s - very controversial. But I can honestly see the merit - only now, 60 years later, are people considering ketamine, mushrooms, and lsd as "possible treatments." My opinion is yeah, these probably all have some treatment potential. Rich people are flying to the Amazon to do the demon-inducing ayhuasca drug, while all of these known medicine remain illegal except in certain states that are pioneering treatments.

@Rah1woot

Interesting, thanks for the response.
I agree - for me, more coffee and sugar / fruit / carb sources is definitely helping.

Sort of unrelated but I remember when I ate low sugar years ago and would have things like a pit in my stomach feeling, low energy, brain fog, headaches, etc.

It's insane to think about "health" ideas in this culture like drinking lots of water. I'm nearly certain this was causing a lot of stress and "taxing" of the system as per Peat's thoughts on salt/sodium.

Same with nuts, seeds, low-fat dairy (ok for me now with sugar though) and pufa (which I knew nothing about at the time).

I will research into 5-HT. Is this close to 5-HTP? I've heard people take this after doing molly or taking acid. This made me wonder about the serotonin / dopamine relationship in the psychedelic drugs and these otc drugs which supposedly "repair."

@aquarice
fruit, milk, reducing PUFA, and natural sunlight should 100% help.

@Insomniac

He doesn't work a physical job. He isn't stressed. He's a billionaire. He's probably taking a lot of top notch drugs and supplements like all celebrities are.

I think the Biden dementia thing at this point was just a hoax. Body double? Mask? It's all TV.

I've had recurring neck / cervical pain that causes headaches for over a year. I went to physical therapy for this and had a temporary prescription for diclofenac, which helped. I continued the PT and have gotten better with almost no headaches coming back.

I started taking aspirin a few years ago for headaches as it was the only thing that worked. And this, in spite of always hearing it is bad and can cause ulcers, etc. My grandmother always took aspirin and suggested it for headaches - now I know she was right.

I don't like relying on aspirin, but stretches and mobility don't seem to be decreasing the period of "flare ups." It feels inflamed in the shoulder area and neck when it comes.

Does anyone have ideas about muscle inflammation? Are any supplements good for this? I work a sort of physical job that has a lot of lifting and bending, but most of the time it is not too demanding. Is it simple over-use of the muscles? I haven't been lifting or working out much either, so I think maybe it is weak trap muscles.

Opinions and ideas appreciated.

I took either 6 or 8 aspirin a few days ago, throughout the day. Usually the pain disappears for days after taking aspiring, too, which is good, because I don't have to take it every day or anything.

@Rah1woot said in What do you guys think of Trump now that he won:

But the project of eliminating "unjust, unwarranted hierarchy (but not the just hierarchies!)" is an idealist fantasy not unlike creating contradiction-free speech. Solar Panels are all made in giant massively vertically integrated factories in China. Our regime just imposed a 25% tariff on them.

True, there will always be over-lords, even in an agrarian communitarian situation. Lone-wolf existence is a total anomaly in nature, so I can see the complex history of "socialism" as just a new, dirty name for what was Republicanism in Medieval and modern times, and even ancient Greece and Rome.
It seems like a good solar panel or ionospheric energy generator is possible, not to mention water as fuel. But I do know the current solar panel / green energy industry is a total money laundering scheme, part of the "carbon credit" global scheme. I sense that the WEF views Earth as a small high school class of about 200 students; there are about 200 countries, right? Well, I guess the levels of power are sort of like the upper classes you don't see or know, but certainly exist.

I'm not sure if those stories are all true about people who made car engines that could run on water, and then died mysteriously, but when you see companies trying to use hydrogen as fuel it makes you wonder. Fuel comes from oil and plastics are also made of recycled plastic or fresh, from oil. And many other things are made from oil or plastic, like polyester which supplies bedding, clothing, cars... everything is basically a cheap replica of what was once real.

@Luke said in What do you guys think of Trump now that he won:

false binary

Agree. The west has always been collaborating with east/Communist countries to destabilize and conquer autonomous outlier countries.

@S-Holmes said in What do you guys think of Trump now that he won:

If he had not initiated Warpspeed we would STILL be in lockdown, waiting on lengthy drug trials to be completed.

The vaccine, the covid seasonal flu hoax, 5G, digital id, internet of bodies, etc it's the same event.

@risingfire

Does aspirin actually combat the pufa or just combat the symptoms?
Forgive me... the chemistry is all very complex.

@Jakeandpace

Does this mean fried in butter or eaten with a good saturated fat is ideal for getting the B vitamins?

I forget where I heard it, possibly anabology talking about how the government having power to ban seed oils is not a good thing. RFK came out of nowhere and now is suddenly everywhere, just like Elon. Alex Jones is out of the picture. They just re-brand and prepare for a new role.

I agree with the "banning" criticism - if everyone were educated on these things, maybe the market would shift meaningfully. Then again, the high-tech surveillance market is updating in real-time.

I have a few predictions
1). a "successful" assassination
2). inflation remains high
3). immigration continues to rise
4). or status quo and more money to Israel and Ukraine or some other novel international NATO conflict like Lebanon.

Trump has the image of a dictator, implicitly. If it's banning the bad stuff, people love it. If it's creating digital ID and universal tracking and more vaccines, people might be a little skeptical about executive power and cleaning out and restructuring federal agencies. Some of the things he supposedly wanted to do in 2016 were ridiculous, but what's the truth? Does a president run a twitter account where he tweets all caps about bombing other countries? It's kind of a joke at this point.

He's very much a controlled opposition. Mossad or the mysterious cabalist power elites running banking and international trade are in charge. It seems like a big tent and a genuine movement, but it's pretty empty inside, and they know this, and that's why they all take on the spirit of the anti-Christ (Russell Brand, Tucker, trads, and a lot of this alt-health and man-o-sphere, red-pill, free thinking sphere too) which is convincing to a lot of people. Elon is the new "NASA" deception that will probably film a Mars landing.

It's all very tiresome.

@Rah1woot
Interesting stuff. Yes and I suppose the paradox of anti-democratic "wrong" opinions and ideas is met with violence. Imperialism or Communism, both act on that impulse which is moral but also logical and rhetorical.

@Goodman

Interesting. I'm thinking sugar and carbs will have drawbacks but it's refreshing to hear a sane opinion about fruit, sugars, carbs these days. That said I think Peat's paradigm would be super-nutritive in like 1900 vs today with so much pollution and mechanized food production. But it is far more rational than carnivore, keto, paleo, etc. I don't understand taking supplements unless somebody is sick. I speculate that the alt health and homeopathic world benefits by inventing illnesses they can sell vitamins to cure. Yes it is a sick world but not only in a material sense.

@raypneat

Is aspirin? If so, aspirin.

@risingfire

I'm just saying occasional pufa is not going to kill anyone, and all food is poisonous to some extent just as Paracelsus said. I've read most of Peat's articles and it's helped me a lot.

@gg12 said in EFA defficiency protects against EMF:

Although this could be coincidence. I finally am starting to get my emotions back and being able to connect with people again its nice.

That's terrifying. I've heard of the zombification and used to know people who took different things for bipolar, schizophrenia, and depression. It makes me pretty angry how many normal people are treated like dollar signs because their lives are stressful and their genes are not 100% helping them, nor their doctors or insurance. Recovery is possible though; all of the gas-lighting involved is sickening.
