RE: Mice fed a 0% protein diet for a week lost nearly 20% of their body mass
@sphagnum Im not sure how safe itd be long term. You could take the @anabology approach where he avoids protein throughout the day to keep the metabolic rate high than has a protein based meal at dinner. I believe there arents many human studies showing benefits of extreme protein restriction, mostly aninal studies. Also, peat recommended lower protein for most adults as the metabolic rate begins to naturally decline at the age of 30. He clarified the 80-100g recommendation is for active young people who can burn up to 5k calories a day.

RE: just magnesium glycinate enough
@the-MOUSE Glycinate alone has the best results for me. I would test one at a time so you know how yiu react to each

RE: which grains/lentils are low toxic heavy metals arsenic, cadmium, lead etc?
@the-MOUSE Lundberg's Basmati White Rice tests the lowest in arsenic. White rice is your best bet for grains

RE: Vitamin K and constipation
@fruitfly I would try increasing calcium and magnesium intake. You may need more calcium when taking K2. I megadosed K2 and my blood calcium levels were low despite eating 2k+ mg daily

Bioenergetic take on FGF21
I saw a lot of talk about this on the ray peat twitter sphere. Its a circulating factor increased in protein defficient animals which drastically boosts metabolism. Could lower protein intake or internmittent protein fasting (no protein until dinner) have benefits?

Glycine markedly improves stroke outcomes.
1-2g of glycine:
• Reduced death
• Substantially improved disability status in survivorsby supporting antioxidant status, acting as a calming neurotransmitter and selectively modulating the immune system.

Homocysteine is a neurotoxin, shrink brain regions.
By poisoning the mitochondria, homocysteine:
• Atrophies various brain regions
• Shut down dopamine production
• Induces anxiety, cognitive declinebut:
• Glycine
• Choline
• B2
• B6
• B9
• B12help lower it.

6+ cups of coffee a day cuts suicide risk by 80%.
Its repeatedly shown that coffee has antidepressant and health promoting properties. 4 or more cups of coffee a day cuts the risk of depression by 40% For every additional 2 cups of coffee a day, the risk of committing suicide declines by 25%

Staying up late + artificial light = cognitive decline.
Removing the master circadian rhythm protein:
• Swells + kills brain cells
• Disrupts brain connectivity
• Increases inflammationThis protein (bmal1) is primarily governed by natural light cycles + time changes.

Selenium is an anti-estrogenic nutrient.
The trace mineral found in beef liver, heart, egg yolks, brazil nuts and red meat:
• Inhibits growth of estrogen driven cancer
• Decreases the primary estrogen receptor
• Might suppress aromatase (androgen conversion to estrogens) -
Serotonin grows liver tumors, blocking it shrinks them.
Serotonin is produced as an inflammatory mediator in the gut, and:
• Circulates, activating growth in distant cells
• Promoting angiogenesis & metastasistreatment with a serotonin blocker (SB-258719) shrinks tumors.

Broda Barnes parient Transformations
Thanks to the late, great, Dr. Broda Barnes.
A man who helped countless people who were hopelessly sick, a mystery to standard medicine, and desperate for life.
With nothing more than a thermometer and some desiccated thyroid. Here are some of the most shocking transformations he described

Salt restriction poisons mitochondria, increases free radicals.
When sodium intake is forcefully restricted, the adrenal hormone aldosterone is produced, which:
• Lowers antioxidant enzymes
• Decreases energy productionprogesterone is a tool that combats this.

Dim light is a chronic stressor, bright light is the cure.
Bright light in your eyes directly suppresses:
• Cortisol
• Melatonin
• Prolactinwhile dim light keeps these hormones constantly elevated.
If you can't get outside often, getting bright indoor lights can help.

Methionine restriction shrinks tumors by ~90%.
Excess methylation is an epigenetic driver of cancer, but restricting methionine:
• Prevents tumor initiation
• Stops the proliferation of existing tumorsGlycine is our endogenous buffer of excess methylation from methionine.

Vitamin D cuts risk of cavities in half.
On average 800 IU of vitamin D daily was shown over several studies to help remineralize the teeth by improving calcium deposition.
This is a tiny dose too, typically 5,000 IU is used if trying to correct deficiency.
