Hope someone has saved all the posts and discussions somewhere because there is some great stuff there.

It looks like all the forum content has simply been moved to the new site.

@Peatful
An incredibly scientific one you could say

@yerrag
Fwiw, here's another resource for written works:

Articles include documents written for publication in a journal, formal addresses, and other materials that are neither books nor lectures

Calming and relaxing tools:

• lavender essential oil, optionally diluted, applied topically and/or inhaled
• theanine powder (from 25mg to 200mg+)
• lemon balm extract

@Mauritio
Maybe glycerine/glycerol? Seems It's completely soluble in alcohol.

@yerrag said in My Experience With Different Carb Sources:

eating a lot of white sugar

Aside from purity and sucrose content, what is the benefit of white sugar over other more "whole" sources such as molasses, rapadura (whole cane sugar) or other similar black/brown sources of sugar? Particularly in terms of the nutrients (vitamins, minerals, salicylates, polyphenols etc) which might be useful for supporting the respiration process amongst other things?

Yes, estrogenic, Haidut wrote about anti-thyroid effects also on the old RP forum.
Some BPA-free products are genuinely free from similar substances like BPS, such as Biona, from their faq:

Our Biona cans are free from BPA, BPS and BPF.
The lining of the cans is made of an aluminised polyester and gold organosol lacquer.

@psi said in Canned fish and seafood:

Some people also raise concerns about the plastic lining, but I'm not aware of its toxicity.

The lining is often BPA, but some brands offer BPA-free cans.

if i do two cofee a day is it that bad

Coffee done properly, is good!

Regarding cortisol/stress in general, something called theanine is very helpful, especially in combo with caffeine/coffee. Theanine is anti-stress, boosts dopamine and helps stabilise/balance coffee. Its cheap and widely available online.

Here's a detailed histamine food list that could be of use during the reparation phase:

Fyi, PTH = parathyroid hormone

@yerrag said in Who knows where the history button is?:

I was looking for a post that eventually led me to a YouTube of Rudolf Steiner.

For metaphysical insights and beyond, here's an extensive collection of Rudolf Steiner material, as audiobooks. His insights are quite novel and extraordinary, particularly on the development of the human form and the nature of animal forms.

I haven't used either regularly enough to compare.
The main difference would be the acetyl group in aspirin which permanently inhibits the COX enzyme, and aspirins acidic ph (can be buffered with sodium bicarbonate). Wintergreen is potentially more similar to sodium salicylate I'd say?

Aspirin acts as an acetylating agent where an acetyl group is covalently attached to a serine residue in the active site of the COX enzyme

@DkJoe2
Fwiw, pure sodium salicylate powder is also readily available in UK

@thyroid69420
You could ask how the raw milk is turned into powder, as iirc there is potential for denatured components with some processes used (especially for things like liver according to RP)

Haidut on rpf: https://raypeatforum.com/community/threads/high-metabolism-quickly-destroys-chelates-endocrine-disruptors-like-bpa.25937/

Now this new study below shows that chemicals like BPA are highly vulnerable to reactive oxygen species (ROS). The authors used a type of "photodynamic therapy" to generate ROS and destroy more than 99% of the BPA in the sample after just 2 hours of exposure. Unfortunately, the mechanism they used would be toxic in people as they used titanium dioxide and UV light as catalysts for ROS generation. Fortunately, there are safer methods that have been shown to work in humans. For example, simply having higher metabolism means generating more ROS. As such, thyroid, progesterone and avoidance of PUFA may be able to achieve the same but likely over longer periods of time. This matches well with Peat's response when asked about endocrine disruptors - i.e. he said simply keeping metabolism high is probably the best protection. However, at some point of tissue saturation with the disruptors, another approach may be needed. Perhaps the safest approach to implement this in humans is with methylene blue (MB) and red light. Either one of these on its own has been shown to increase ROS generation. In the case of MB, this effect starts at tissue concentrations of about 1 uM/L, which for most people can be achieved with doses of 3mg-5mg.

@Lothric
You could try topical essential oils, dissolved in coconut oil. Oils like wintergreen and peppermint will be quite powerful. Lavender and clove could also be useful. Granted there will be an associated smell with this approach!
