Dandruff or scalp irritation? Try BLOO.
Only reason I don’t take this place serious at all is how freely you let inflammatory posters run amuck.
Nigger this.
Jew that.
Superior aryan race here.
Inferior (insert race) there
Women barely being seen as people.
Just say you (admins, mods) want to cultivate the alternative health version of stormfront so we can all stop pretending this is some Ray Peat haven.
I also have a history of sports related head trauma, terrible digestion, random mood swings, sub clinical hypothyroidism. My early experience with dextrose has been very promising.
The Dr. Stephens stuff put the spotlight back on a lot of Ray Peat principles.
The protocol has merit, and is ironically becoming a full circle moment for the RPF. Dr. Stephens and Ray are touching in the same idea but from different perspectives.
It’s odd nobody considered dextrose years ago instead of blowing themselves up on table sugar.
As for Garrett, that’s his canned response for new ideas unless you drown him with research papers like what happened with niacin. He’s established his ecosystem and isn’t going to upset the apple cart.
Grant’s conclusion is weird.
Goes from rice -> fortified sourdough + honey. Calories increased from the paltry ~1600 he ate previously. States he hasn’t exercised much either.
8 months later gets dry itchy scalp.
Switches to German non-fortified buns + honey, recovers fully in 5 months.
Conclusion is… blame niacin? What about everything else in fortified flour? Why not switch back the working diet and supplement nicotinic acid to isolate affect? Also, isn’t niacin in fortified foods really niacinamide? What?
Does he actually let Georgi talk this time or is he using him as a soundboard like usual?
Alright which one of you broke the forum haha
“Protein sparing modified fast” if you don’t care about long term health.
If you do, you’re gonna have to dedicated 2-4hrs of walking a day while going as low fat as possible. Sprinkle in some resistance training and you’re on your way.
@Peatful said in New "Mission" of RPF:
somebody doesn’t complain and Smith gets a notification to appear before the Medical Examiners Board.
They vet the complaint or complaints.
There is an “investigation” prior to this process.
Therefore (and im speculating here because I know nothing about said case) this licensing agency or medical board - THEY have deemed there is something to look into.This isn’t about Booboo on the RPF got his feelings hurt
This is the Board determining if anything needs addressing.
And if it’s about protecting children- I support it.
Lol since when do we trust the Board to make a just decision?
I watched Dr. Paul Thomas in real time get his license suspended, lose his practice, and ultimately forced into retirement by the Board over his vaccine beliefs. Something we all align with. He wasn’t even anti-vaccine. Didn’t matter. The Board made his life hell. It’s all documented on his YouTube channel.
We all know Board investigations are just making sure you’re inline with their status quo.
Sending complaints of Garret to the Board has nothing to do with patient safety concern, but some vendetta stemming from the RPF drama earlier in the year.
@jjk_learning said in New "Mission" of RPF:
It reads to me like a personal attempt to destroy Smith's livelihood.
I have no horse in this race, but that's exactly what that is lol.
All because of forum's change in direction.
This isn't really a "gotcha" moment you may think it is
Looks like this thread jumped the shark.
If this is someone here, keep it up. Lmao.
@Matt1951 said in New "Mission" of RPF:
@ilovethesea He believes God is coming to save the US. Charlie believes he is part of the saving, the nutritional part, so Charlie has a god complex.
The "God saving America" rhetoric is an extension of his MAGA devotion. He was whipped up in the 2020 election frenzy so no surprise the same is happening for the 2024 one.
Watched an old Garrett stream recently where he says something along the lines of "I don't know why God chose me for this battle," so of course Charlie extrapolated that as VA toxicity being some holy war lol
Yet another reminder Charlie doesn't have novel ideas.
OP thinks we should all live to 120yo.
I have the perfect forum recommendation for you.
“Will of Europa” is lying or isn’t in-the-know as much as he thinks he is.
They know who Charlie is.
Charlie asks them for permission to cross-post information on the forum.
Partly why he stopped posting testimonials from Garrett’s “network.”
@Kvothe He needs content creators to drive traffic to the forum and his store. Ray is gone so he can’t leech off his media presence anymore. He hopes to convert Haidut, Hans, etc. Right now he’s trying to leech off Garret Smith, but Smith already promotes his own community so it’s not effective. Because of that, he’s hunkered down on SEO which is partly why the forum did a dramatic 180 except the url name he refuses to let go.
@Mauritio said in I have been banned on the RPF for posting this study on Vitamin A...:
Haidut is posting on both forums as well.
He needs Haidut, though.
Yea walking is extremely underappreciated.
Walking will override terrible metabolism and get things moving in the right direction. One of the fastest drug free ways to lose weight without feeling terrible in the end. Just need to make time.
Dropped ~30lbs in 3months averaging 2hrs/5mi a day. Ate around maintenance calories +/-200. Most importantly, I didn't feel like shit or have to deal with rebound that comes with crashing calories to get the same fat loss rate.
A 'W' all around.
Some of you guys sound paranoid. Charlie isn't Agent Smith from The Matrix to the point he's omnipresent. You're giving him too much credit.
He's just a simpleton who found a new diet theology to cling to.
The way he's morphed the forum, enacting rules, answering questions... it's all copy/paste.
The "you don't disrespect me in my house" is a Garret Smith saying he uses for trolls on his youtube page and LYL program.
The answers to he gives to questions are dumbed down Garrett Smith answers. When there is no answer to copy/paste, he leans on religion.
The forum payment plan is a rip of Garrett Smith's network you have to pay into. Difference is Garrett Smith provides exclusive content. Charlie doesn't provide a damn thing AND content is viewable without paying. Do you see why he wants Haidut, Hans, Mercola etc to get onboard? It would validate the forum and drive traffic off of other content creator's work.
The bannings of dissentful dialog. Again that's a Garrett Smith position for his private network. How that applies to a Ray Peat Forum that's not about Ray Peat anymore is comical.
Remember those new rules everyone had to agree to a month or so ago, calling the forum a "Private Virtual Country Club?" That was pulled verbatim from another bible-thumping health forum he visits.
Again, you give him too much credit. Everything about this transition was clumsy and obliterated the forum's traffic. The gaslighting "we're stronger than ever" isn't fooling anybody.
