Well, if it's safe for your face, it's probably safe for your scalp. I'm considering getting this and giving it a shot. If it gets to 42 C then I'm sure it will at least somewhat help soften fibrosis.

I suppose the question is how deep the ultrasound penetrates. But even hitting the dermis should be fine for what I'm doing.

Did you know that Nazi Germany heavily cultivated soybeans, feeding them to troops, to the extent that Westerners gave them the nickname "Nazi Beans?"

The US-led world order, with its PUFOid proclamations, is the geopolitical anti-human inheritor of Nazi Germany as a bulwark against Bolshevism, which is and always was the real movement.

Does this please you? How does it feel to be controlled opposition? Even back in their "heyday", that's what Nazi Germany really was... the British Empire's dog.

@Insomniac
Where can i get this? lol

Holy shit, this thing costs 250$.
Might buy a cheaper one on amazon and give it a try. I think it probably wont make your cock bigger on its own but if you combine it with jelqing or hanging and then use it to heal the small injuries it would probably help the process.

@LetTheRedeemed ikr 😅

User: How do you get a stimulating lifestyle?

Peatbot.com: A stimulating lifestyle involves engaging in activities that are mentally, physically, and emotionally enriching. Here are some ways to achieve this:

Varied Physical Activity: Engage in different forms of exercise and physical activities. This could include practicing martial arts, gardening, or taking different routes to familiar places.

Mental Stimulation: Participate in activities that challenge your brain. This could be learning to play a musical instrument, sculpting, drawing, or learning a new language.

Novelty and Invention: Seek out new experiences and opportunities. This could involve traveling to new places, meeting new people, or trying out new hobbies.

Meaningful Activities: Engage in activities that have personal significance and provide a sense of fulfillment. This could include participating in music, theater, literature, research, or political innovation.

Stimulating Conversations: Have engaging and thought-provoking conversations with others. This can be a form of mental exercise and can provide new perspectives.

Spontaneity: Incorporate spontaneous activities into your routine. This could be anything from spontaneous sex to unplanned adventures.

Creative Outlets: Explore creative activities such as painting, writing poetry, or any other form of artistic expression that you do not engage in daily.

Environmental Enrichment: Ensure that your environment is stimulating. This could involve making your living space more vibrant and engaging or spending time in nature.

Good Nutrition and Health: Support your brain and body with good nutrition, adequate rest, and proper thyroid function to ensure you have the energy for a stimulating lifestyle.

Avoiding Repetitive Behavior: Try to avoid falling into repetitive and mundane routines. If you find yourself in such a situation, look for ways to introduce variety and new challenges.

By incorporating these elements into your life, you can create a stimulating lifestyle that supports both mental and physical well-being.

How does alcohol and thiamine "depletion" work in practice exactly?

Ability to absorb thiamine is progressively lost due to inflammation of stomach lining and lost of transport capacity.
"Heavy alcohol use causes inflammation of the stomach lining and digestive tract, which reduces the body's ability to absorb vitamins."
Note: Heavy = repetitive use, more than what the liver can handle.
Before night sleep 1/4 tsp L-glutamine powder could help to rebuild leaky gut.

at day light (2x/day)
=> glutamine = nutrient for stomach lining.

@yerrag 👍 yep but for quite some time everything on most of the subjects is extreme and looks like more to abuse which troubles me ...

@Sugar

I would say that I struggle to genuinly like women. I want to like them but I just cant like them. Its difficult to genuinly like a woman in 2024 , if you know what I mean. Most of them are not exactly good people nowadays , not very likeable.

its unbelievably castrating for me LOL

Ray has said that like 99% of Prenenolone on the market is contaminated and will end up causing more harm than good. Many people report negative side effects with the Acetate form It's probably better to not take Pregnenolone at all if it's your only option.

Idk if you linked the same thread I’m thinking of, he picked up the work of essentially a Stalin-crime-denialist, whose political take was that Stalin was fighting western hegemony. Another version of the new world order conspiracy theory. I have no problem with it even if I disagree — He doesn’t approve of any communist/stalinist atrocities.

@RawGoatMilk88

Which austrian painter are you thinking of ? 🙂

The amount of studies producing EFA deficiency with fat-free or Hydrogenated Coconut Oil-added diets are the majority, but apparently not the fastest to deplete EFAs.

I posted a few days ago how Oleic acid (MUFA) accelerates EFA deficiency, in the simplest study below 0.8% linoleic and a 20:1 Oleic:Linoleic ratio accelerated depletion. Apart from macadamias, I don't know of anything that has a good OA:LA ratio and little PUFA or is pure Oleic, so I think supplementing with Stearic Acid may be even better, since it is well known and used and has no PUFA, it is also widely converted into Oleic Acid within the body (Rats on a diet rich in Oleic vs Stearic have basically the same amount of Oleic in the tissues).

It would be nice to do an OmegaQuant to see if the depletion is working.

@Ray-Peat-Fanboy yeah coffee also high in chlorogenic acids , which apparently increases neurogenesis (through turning into caffeic acid in the body). i think ~30% - 60% gets metabolised and ~30% of that goes to caffeic acid
and some goes to benzoic acid (which is not good / harmful in higher amounts (e.g i wouldnt like 100mg consecutively) but at low amounts is a mild uncoupler for more heat production by mitochondria https://hal.science/hal-00478797/document. is similar to aspirin).
also the caffeic acid + quinic acid are mao-b inhibitors, quinic mild
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8838583/

Upon reaching the colon, chlorogenic acids are hydrolyzed to caffeic acid and quinic acid that are further metabolized through common metabolic pathways mediated by the intestinal microflora. Quinic acid is converted to benzoic acid, which can be further metabolized in the liver by conjugation reaction with glycine to produce hippuric acid. Gonthier et al. (2003)
reported that approximately 60% of an ingested dose of chlorogenic acid is recovered as metabolites in the urine of rats, with hippuric acid being the predominant metabolite accounting for 36.5% of the ingested dose.
The available studies in humans also indicate that approximately 70% of an ingested dose of chlorogenic acid is transported to the colon intact

quinic acid, chlorogenic acid are selective MAO-B inhibitors (quinic acid is mild) in vitro and in vivo also reversed the MAO-A inhibition caused by aluminium (quinic acid neuroprotective in aluminium toxicity but at high dose idk how significant for doses gained through coffee)

Alternative diets, whether Peating, keto/carnivore, vegetarianism/veganism, or anything else, alienate normal people because refusing commonly accepted food makes other insecure in their (never examined) decision to consume it. Thus, normies instinctively steer away for any recommendations that imply having to permanently switch to a "weird" diet and face social rejection.

Focus on weight loss avoids that, because it's commonly see as a question of calories and thus only a requirement to eat less instead of differently. Furthermore, it can usually be dismissed or limited to a certain time periods (i.e. trying to lose weight before some important event).

@Ray-Peat-Fanboy to a certain extent, yes. When I was a regular drinker I've often did it to loosen my restraint and be able to speak freely; and even when I got drunk completely alone I still enjoyed the feeling of freedom, of being able to at least enjoy my own thoughts without fear (or expressing them on the various online venues I frequented). At the other hand, alcohol is also a depressant: it simplifies and reduces complex thoughts; a drunk's sloppy, disorganized speech reflects a sloppy, disorganized mind.

@Milk-Destroyer I know that I am against starches but I eat a meal every 3 days to keep good sleep quality. I get tired of sugar sometimes.
My diet consists of milk 1.5% fat 2-3 liters, ground beef 150g and sugar 300g or maple syrup. Sometimes I add dark chocolate without soy lecithin 50g or orange juice fresh 500ml. If I skip the meat, I drink more milk.

Above I was talking about starch persorption, but it's safe if you keep lots of bowels movements and not exaggerating in meal portions. It's pretty hard to digest them perfectly tho. Sugar will always be superior.

No, not new. The Atkins diet paved the way for low carb dieting. Every generation revamps it with a new name.
