Dandruff or scalp irritation? Try BLOO.
@haidut Thank you for that.
BTW If anyone wants to know more about this there is an in-depth video with Georgi about it https://youtu.be/PucnCMLLrdo
There is also an extensive interview with Ray about the dangers of high cortisol https://youtu.be/VciTvOAgYxM
@Peatful Do you think that he will kill with bullets filled with Vitamin A? 
@lutte said in Why is the Ray Peat community so far right?:
Economists have not invented capitalism.
They misunderstood how a system of natural exchange of good works, and their mistakes have influenced people's perception of the "free market" and economic policies for centuries... And all of this influence is in bidirectional relationships with behaviors (feedback loops). I.e. it's all an accumulated mess now...
BTW You may want to learn about Actor-Network Theory...
Not only do we need to reassess science, and history every time because of recent revelations or understandings,
Agreed.
but also because life, everything is constant flux. Even physical laws.
No, not everything, some things are more fluid, and others are pretty stable. It's good to know the difference...
E.g. energy is more fluid than structures...
BTW many works of Adam Smith have been falsified... it makes no sense to rely on them anymore...
Just an example https://evonomics.com/advice-to-an-aspiring-economist-the-invisible-hand-is-a-wishful-invention/
A comprehensive discussion about all of those points above is beyond the scope of this forum. If you would like to know more, I'm happy to recommend for example this lecture https://youtu.be/ReYhKKQ--1c or this https://youtu.be/EC11UQD9q3w
@Mulloch94 I assume that the problem is more complex than a one-dimensional left-right axis...
This picture is a bare minimum to consider - to start comprehending that we have at least two dimensions to think about...
BTW the whole economics and practical thinking about economies need a serious upgrade with a multi-perspective approach... https://evonomics.com/new-ways-to-teach-economics/
@Norwegian-Mugabe said in Why is the Ray Peat community so far right?:
Point number two is enough to bury his argument. Men created capitalism, so it does not make sense to compare it with biological life forms, which were not made by man.
Yeah, you're right I am often too generous (comprehensive) with my arguments...
I often forget that You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink...
@lutte said in Why is the Ray Peat community so far right?:
economists have not invented capitalism. biologists have not invented life.
BTW If you don't know that something exists it does not mean it doesn't... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DunningāKruger_effect
@lutte said in Why is the Ray Peat community so far right?:
Economists did not invent capitalism, it is material reality, independent of thought.
LOL! What an exponential BS!
You have never heard about Adam Smith and the (especially recent) critique of his works, do you?
BTW, you have mistaken a local exchange of goods with the whole capitalistic doctrine...
I will not comment on the rest of your scribble, because I guess that ignorance is bliss for you... ;--)
@Grothendieck said in Hormonal and thyroid blood test:
Ty for your response, I've heard that to lower your TSH, you need to focus on boosting thyroid function, am I right ?
Yes, there is a feedback loop as explained in wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid-stimulating_hormone
So my prolactin
is kinda high, any idea on how to lower it naturally ?
There is a good (peaty) article about it https://testonation.com/2017/08/30/lower-prolactin-for-men/
Also, how can I convert more T4 into T3? I'm eating two brazilians nuts everyday to get selenium as Ray Peat suggested
For a better conversion of T4 into T3 you need carbohydrates/sugar and selenium. BTW I'm not a fan of Brazilian nuts - they contain PUFAs and methionine... Is better to eat beef (+ gelatin) or supplement selenium...
In general, your lab results look pretty decent. Therefore, I wouldn't trouble too much. Just follow Ray Peat's principles e.g. have a stimulating life, a lot of sunshine, good sleep, balanced stress, minimize/deplete PUFAs, and assure proper nutrition, etc. and all should be good. Perceive, Think, Act...
Not sure how much you know about them, but videos like that may be a good start https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqmksTna7Q8
Then dig deep into https://bioenergetic.forum/category/12/ray-peat-resources
@Not_James_Bond said in New "Mission" of RPF:
Do you think Charlie might be suffering with andropause?
It may be a case of (temporary?) androgen insufficiency - low vitamin A may cause low testosterone and high cortisol levels...
BTW This video explains nicely (with a broad context and a lot of background info) how neoliberals use ultra-right to prevail and exploit people even further...

Ray Peat on Desiccated Liver and Oyster Supplements
"Desiccated liver contains oxidized tryptophan, cysteine, vitamin A, ubiquinone, and many other harmful things."
[What about desiccated oysters?] "Yes, very similar problems."
ā Ray Peat (2021)
Ray's (in-depth) opinion/explanation about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVzSIw5S4Nk
"Health is correlated to peopleās socioeconomic status (SES) and lifestyle.[...] Lifestyle had significant positive effects on both physical and psychological health. In addition, lifestyle mediated the relationship between SES and health. This research is helpful in gaining a better understanding of the relationship and mediating mechanism between SES, lifestyle, and health. It is recommended that research with longitudinal design and comprehensive indicators be undertaken in the future."
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6352250/
And there is a lot more research/books like this one...
"A wealth of research shows that how much of it we possess dramatically affects not only our happiness and wellbeing but also our physical health ā and without sufficient status, we become more ill, and live shorter lives. Itās an unconscious obsession that drives the best and worst of us: our innovation, arts and civilisation as well as our murders, wars and genocides."

@buckminster said in Airport Security Radiation Mitigation:
What are folks thoughts on the dangers of the full-body scanner? Do ya opt for a pat down? What have been your experiences?
[...]
What can be done to mitigate the harmful effects?
From (old) RPF
Inosine, niacinamide, aspirin, caffeine, thyroid, methylene blue, tocopherols, progesterone, DHEA, etc. are all known radioprotectors. Ideally, they should be taken both before and after radiation exposure. When I got dental X-rays, I took 1g inosine and 1g niacinamide 1h before and then the same dose 1h after the X-rays. But even doing only before/after would be beneficial and if I had to choose between the two, I would take those before exposure. ~Georgi Dinkov
@Grothendieck Hi, it looks pretty good, but in detail...
You can check your thyroid health (for comparison) also by measuring temperature and pulse https://www.functionalps.com/blog/2012/03/25/ray-peat-phd-on-thyroid-temperature-pulse-and-tsh/
BTW it's just my observation, not medical advice...
@jamsey Interesting one, thank you!
@Norwegian-Mugabe said in Why is the Ray Peat community so far right?:
I am on the top-right corner of the political spectrum.
Yeah, there are some people with extreme (dialectical, contextual, scientific) wisdom following the epistemic uncertainty principle and there are others with extremely strong (political) convictions...
And obviously, there are most of the people in between with a mix of both aforementioned attitudes.
@ah said in The Dental Care Thread:
GC Tooth Mousse
It sounds promising, but it contains a few disturbing ingredients like Silicon Dioxide, Titanium Dioxide, Guar Gum, and p-hydroxybenzoate.
"Silicon dioxide is basically powdered glass and easily injures the intestine." ~Haidut
@peatyourmeat said in Why is the Ray Peat community so far right?:
mostly because the radical left anarchist and hippie types who would have been into this got too into the transgender thing which forces them to the side of big medicine
Yep, they focus on smoke and mirrors...
@DKJoe said in Ordered Idealabs and now the police are after me:
The site is now down, does anyone know if Haiduts all good? Given recent events im getting a little worried someone's trying to shut him down.
Look OK to me.
All his sites i.e. http://haidut.me/ and http://www.idealabsdc.com/ are online at this moment.
He has been also active recently on X https://twitter.com/haidut/status/1758122576411279659
