Interesting. For international conspiratorial reasons I wouldn't expect him to be blocking Russian IPs. Maybe Cloudflare's doing that more broadly.

It's almost impossible to know if this might be useful without a considerably detailed description of your current behavior. So this is just a shot in the dark, to give you something to think about.

The tonicity of gastric contents can have a lot to do with the rate at which it moves through the various stages of digestion. And that's going to be intricately linked with the body's existing fluid dynamics to "normalise" anything there that's "too much" or "too little" of the state it needs to be in to digest "normally", and consumption of anything less tonic than the food that's being digested.

Stethoscope's are dirt cheap and the circulatory isn't the only thing that can be heard. So you could buy one and do some structured self experiments. Listen for slow contractions of the fundus of the stomach and faster contraction waves in the the antrum over the course of several hours. Vary preexisting fluid balance, anything you're adding on top of digesting food, note the changes and find the patterns.

I haven't done this for a while but found it utterly fascinating when I was in to it. It was like I could behave in a way that would paralyse the process, a way that would speed it up far too much, and a way that resembled a happy medium. And around that, my whole sense of wellbeing could change.

You can get out of this (sustainably), I'm rooting for you

I definitely see the merit in low vit A.

Might I suggest you alter that statement in your inner world to "I definitely see the merit in moderating consumption of concentrated sources of vit A."

There's more logic in it. And your inner voice is more powerful than you may yet be giving it credit for. As a "young" person.

Ok good good! Keep going.

Yes that sounds reasonable. I never got in to the liver thing personally. But I may still try it at some point.

In fact I don't tend to toil too much these days over micronutrition. I used to. It was a phase. These days as long as my foods are "whole"(ish), I just try to balance my macros and let the clandestine chemist inside of me do his thing. Seems to work. Most of the time.

I was going to suggest, because you need to be careful in trying to readjust. That you discipline yourself not on total amount but on sip sizes and replacements.

So you can have as much water as you want. But you'd self forbid to gulp down large amounts of it. Make every sip size about half your tongue size, swallowing it gently. And in doing that, you'd be likely to find yourself desiring less over the course of a few days.

Meanwhile, you can consume as much sugary/electrolytic alternative as you like. I've done a lot of experimentation around adding varying amounts of salt to various types of drink. But for someone trying to readjust their own fluid balance, I wouldn't recommend doing that. Just salt your food to taste as Dr Peat advised (conservatively! salt appetite is also a moving target in my experience). Drink anything you want that isn't water, and add a level but generous teaspoon of sugar, honey, molasses or maple syrup to it. The easy extra carbs will assist in controlling your compulsion to tank large amounts of hypotonic fluids.

And around this. Try to eat above your appetite and be disciplined in keeping a schedule around your meals. Three of them a day, at around the same time, Because it's probably a bit suppressed in the midst of the cycle you're currently in.

In my inner world, I refer to this kind of thing as "camel mode" (you're free to laugh, I do, self amusement is often my goal to assist with self discipline). And in "camel mode", my sense of my own cognition, impulse, energy, and reflection on any expenditure would suggest it's something resembling "optimal". Which makes sense to me. In the absence of potable water, I ought to be ok with occasional trips to a river, where my hand would guide the amounts.

Okay q4h, how's it going... Are you getting a handle on this? It can be a form of self sabotage for us. Water isn't benign you see, it's a solvent. And while it can initially feel energising (depending on prior consumption and gastrointestinal contents), it can leave you lower when that passes. With a distorted sense of immediate needs. That can be cyclical until you break it.

@questforhealth!

I'm going back to your thread...

Just a spot of humour this good Sunday.

Urgh.

Sorry for your loss (of platform) Mauritio.

Their little doomer end times fantasy requires them to ditch as many souls as possible. They can't have anyone challenging their narrative around it.

I've no doubt the "random number picker" in his "Restoration Giveaway" () will conveniently award his sock puppet accounts.

I'm still not really down with the idea this is a top down or sideways thing. It seems to me idiocy is mostly organic. And spookily or not, they tend to find each other in the dark. Birds of a feather and all.

However ya'll are making some compelling observations. And Charlie's bull**** is awfully inconsistent. Why the hell would a flat earther (on Twitter) be talking s**t about "space weather" (on his "forum")...

They got unbanned after some time.

@:M :B. didn't make it back. I loved their technical breakdown of Mercola's waffle

@TheSir said in New "Mission" of RPF:

@Peatly said in A list of members banned from the Ray Peat Forum:

Not sure why Mephisto has been spared when others got banned for making more benign comments than this

It's due to Charlie's authoritarianism. Mephisto was taunting Charlie with: "just ban me already you prick". Of course, though Charlie most likely did want to ban him, this itch was overridden by his desire to not take orders from anyone.

A similar thing happened when Impero gave him the following ultimatum:

"So, which is it?

Are you taking the True Man of Honor and Integrity Way? (Posting your secret screenshot)

Or the easy way out? (Dropping the hammer)"

To which he replied "both", overriding not only the the isolated desire to simply ban Impero, but also his previous decision to not share more proof. He couldn’t simply ban impero because that would have meant yielding power to Impero's ultimatum. In order to avoid this, he had to additionally go against his own word and show proof despite previously saying that he won't do it.

I think this suggests that Charlie cares more about power than personal integrity.

Update: I am now banned too as a result of this post.

Excellent observations. And quite the patience you had to make them.

So many cringe moments this week.

@C-Mex

He also completely ignored the most important part of the inquiry from @TheSir.

This POS is just taunting and gaslighting day after day.

ICANN's procedure to relinquish the domain isn't even that expensive or complicated. And it makes subsequent invocation for attempt at similar registration easier still. Maybe you should stop goading David.
