@C-Mex said in New "Mission" of RPF:
I think it has to do with the Cloudflare service.
The Iceland thing is Namecheap which is where he originally registered the domain - talks about it here https://www.namecheap.com/blog/domain-privacy-is-changing-at-namecheap/
@C-Mex Interesting that the registry was JUST updated on Jan. 11, 2024. Maybe that is when he transferred ownership to whatever entity is in the UK.
@Mulloch94 said in New "Mission" of RPF:
@ilovethesea He probably hosting the site on a server stationed in the UK. It's not a uncommon thing to see for people hosting a web site. Maybe that's why he's also charging people money now. He might have gotten tired paying for it after all these years.
The server is Cloudflare which is US based.

According to this analytics site, Ray Peat Forum headquarters are in Cambridge, UK - not Florida where “Charlie” lives 
Seems strange since these other websites have accurate locations:
RPF was more popular than you might think - the #211 ranked website in the world for health/nutrition. Compare to these similar sites:
But now traffic levels are tanking...
Even if they’re just returning to normal levels from Mercola boosting views in January, we can see here that pageviews and time on site have fallen off a cliff
This website also says that RPF HQ is in the UK: “Ray Peat Forum's headquarters are located at Tennis Ct Rd, Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, CB2 1PD, United Kingdom”

@Amazoniac said in New "Mission" of RPF:
Did you, BioEclectic and other members have the chance to open the initial version of the forum, at the time when Ray agreed with its creation? The appearance was almost a variation of his website, with a picture of him and some of his favorite foods.
I vaguely remember that yes. Just checked archive.today and it’s not great - https://archive.is/raypeatforum.com Random selection of pages and the oldest I found was 2016.
I wonder what are the thresholds for protesting for those who remain indifferent. They need a footage of the lion incinerating members with
ethanolretinol to act?
Maybe some of the indifferent ones are struggling with serious health problems and don’t want to provoke the lion in case they get banned and lose the ability to ask questions there.
As for the few supportive militants, they're intriguing. They identify themselves as the open-minded camp while watching unfazed the tyranny in front of them. If these people were liberals as claimed, they would repudiate the administration and wouldn't be willing to be part of it.
Other than Mosaic and Christ lady, does anyone recognize the current pro-vitamin A posters at RPF? Could they be infiltrators or “sleeper” accounts that were already in position for this purpose?
So the same entity as Thor Torrens and company - put in place to slowly ramp up the slander of Ray and create the illusion of a consensus for low vitamin A BS. Perfect example is this Sebastian B guy referring to “the high-toxin Ray Peat cancer diet." They’re definitely escalating their lies.
Well well well... who knew that Charlie had a Patreon? https://www.patreon.com/raypeatforum_charlie
And here’s proof of his hypocrisy:
Edit - looks like he started this in 2020 before coming up with the subscription idea https://raypeatforum.com/community/threads/charlies-patreon-drive-please-donate.32272/
I think this may be the viral video mentioned https://twitter.com/ThorTorrens/status/1772648342276710747
More on Evan “Thor” Torrens.. his bio is suspicious AF
That’s from here https://forum.zcashcommunity.com/t/thor-torrens-for-zcg-decemeber-2022/43487
Currently taking 2 Thiamax per day plus 1000mg of Now B1. Taking in conjunction with Pure Encapsulations B complex and magnesium glycinate (1 per day each). My issue (nasal cycle dysregulation) is improved but not fully resolved yet.
Thiamax FAQ page says you can safely take 3-4 per day so I’ll probably increase to that when I use up the Now B1.
This guy is deranged as well....
Does anyone know who he was at RPF?
I think this Thor Torrens person is an agent assigned to popularize the “low vitamin A/anti-Peat” project. Has anyone found the viral video this guy is referring to?
Also look at his Twitter bio... special assistant to POTUS? Emmy winner?
Same asshole energy as Garrett Smith what a surprise
@C-Mex You can search that direct URL https://web.archive.org/web/20180701000000*/http://nutritionrestored.com/nutrients/vitamins/vitamin-a and there are only 3 captures - all empty pages. I don’t think that indicates it was scrubbed - if it was I think you’d see a blank page with a “Sorry” message like the screenshot I posted for RPF.
His blog does have some posts on it though: https://web.archive.org/web/20180501000000*/https://nutritionrestored.com/blog/
There’s nothing about vitamin A until 2020: https://web.archive.org/web/20200923164217/https://nutritionrestored.com/blog/
Regarding RPF being removed - yes we have backups but now we can’t go back and check if certain pages/posts that were there before 2024 were changed.
There’s no record that Garrett Smith was EVER into Ray Peat. When he says he tried the “Ray Peat diet” (not that there is one) and failed, he’s 100% lying.
This was his first website back in 2006: https://web.archive.org/web/20060813070450/http://doctorasteacher.com/
He also has an abandoned Twitter under the same name: https://twitter.com/DoctorAsTeacher
By 2012 it looked like this - pushing various crap and no mention of Ray: https://web.archive.org/web/20120517014143/http://www.doctorasteacher.com/
In 2013 it started redirecting here - this site was around from 2012-2017: https://web.archive.org/web/20121104160416/http://www.drgarrettsmith.com/
In 2018 it started redirecting to yet another URL: https://web.archive.org/web/20180404211251/http://nutritionrestored.com/
During this era he also had a podcast with this person and you can find a lot of his old posts here: https://www.facebook.com/thepathtostrengthandhealth/
Finally in Oct. 2019 we get the first mention of the low vitamin A grift: https://web.archive.org/web/20200627074214/https://nutritionrestored.com/
Then in 2021 that URL starts redirecting to his current Nutrition Detective site, where he’s suddenly proclaiming himself to be “the world’s leading vitamin A expert”: https://web.archive.org/web/20210808230723/https://nutritiondetective.com/
This is all on archive.org for now unless he copies Charlie and gets it removed...
@Amazoniac He’s taken the entire site off the wayback machine. Stolen all our content, banned us from accessing it, and now we can’t even look up prior versions. Unbelievable!
Have you tried Dr Ellie’s protocol? https://drellie.com/
@CO3 I know you’re looking for skim milk powder recipes but for pancakes I use casein powder and I find it turns out better. Recipe is:
2 eggs beaten
1/2 cup casein - I use https://www.saturee.com.au/products/clean-casein?variant=32075881873496 as there’s no weird gamey taste
1/2 cup milk
Then just fry in butter. Makes 2 large pancakes.
I substitute skim milk powder when I want to make crepes but they’re more finicky to cook properly.
I use these https://www.amazon.com/Aspirin-Tablets-325mg-Geri-Care-Count/dp/B0006GE5F4?th=1 Only other ingredient is corn starch.
Seems like Garrett turned to promoting himself online since his in-person reviews are terrible https://www.yelp.ca/biz/garrett-smith-naturopathic-medicine-of-southern-arizona-tucson
What’s funny is he has a bunch of 5 star reviews on RateMDs all from the same week in January 2024. He didn’t even try to make them not look fake! https://www.ratemds.com/doctor-ratings/3317452/Dr-Garrett-Smith-Tucson-AZ.html/
@C-Mex said in New "Mission" of RPF:
The thing that doesn't make any sense is why he would alienate a good part of his existing membership and existing or potential customers with the hair-trigger banning and hostile rhetoric about Ray"s work. Last I looked, online readers were on the decline.
RPF is probably seeing a lift in traffic from Mercola and social media mentions raising awareness of Peat. However, I don’t see the subscription model taking off from these new users - people don’t pay $7/month just to join a forum (especially when Garrett has his own programs), and all the religious content is extremely off-putting. It was only the existing base that was willing to pay Charlie, and all those people have been driven out. If you look at the timestamps of posts it is not very busy over there now.
I also can’t imagine that Life Giving Store is doing better. He doesn’t even promote it at the top of the forum anymore. And Garrett never mentions it, he has his own supplements.
According to Charlie’s twitter in 2020 he had financial problems and was in “so much debt”. But now he never talks about that... in fact he said in one thread recently that he willingly destroyed $50k worth of inventory for Life Giving store.
So what happened - did Charlie get paid off to deliberately tank the forum and smear Ray’s name? Nothing else makes sense here.
Garrett Smith’s twitter profile now has a photo of himself holding a gun... is this not extremely strange for a nutritionist???
