@Kilgore Sounds good though I haven't tried it but after pickling everything tastes the same though the color makes a visual difference whetting the appetite.

@DavidPS Thanks for sharing David.

I've used this together with urea before. Based on Greek doctor Dianapoulos ? whom Peat has written about on the subject of urea.

I think urea improves on the liver , as seen on the reduction of liver enzymes ALT and AST in blood, which indicates the reduction of stress on the liver. But since the liver will also filter out urea by its various detoxifying mechanisms, urea barely goes past the liver to heal or repair internal tissues and organs. And this is the reason creatine monohydrate was added to urea in his therapies.

I had taken his suspension (not a solution as creatine does not fully dissolve) daily for 2 weeks where I mixed 30g of urea and 14g of creatine monohydrate in a liter of water, and I would drink that suspension throughout the day, shaking each time the suspension.

But it was difficult to see improvements internally in the absence of a metric I could use.

But from the study, it looks like there is proof to justify taking creatine, especially in the microvasculature.

Thanks again!

Prior to Peat, I used to prefer fermented foods and looked down on pickled foods.

But now, I prefer pickled foods as fermenting involves lactic acid, and eating fermented foods raises lactic acid levels in the body. While many would tout the probiotic benefits of fermented foods, I don't view probiotics as that necessary unless your gut walls are filled with a lot of anaerobic putrefactive bacteria that needs to be balanced by fermentative bacteria.

On the other hand, pickled foods have vinegar, and acetic acid limits the proliferation of anaerobic bacteria. And regular use of condiments and sauces containing vinegar helps keep anaerobic bacteria in the gut at lower levels. There is less gas production also, helpful in reducing flatulence. I wake up daily to taking a cup of water mixed with two teaspoons of apple cider vinegar and same amount of sugar. I also find taking copper acetate, around 5-10 mg, helpful in relieving me of a bum stomach from something I ate.

But I occasionally eat fermented foods still, as there are some sandwiches that with sauerkraut taste so good. I forgot the name of that sandwich I always order in a deli. Plus, I can't help but enjoy drinking beer with friends.

@ThinPicking I have my own take on the subject of Dieselgate and how Davos folks have conspired to make clean diesel appear to be a lie when it isn't. Remember VW is the maker of the people's car of Hitler, and it has always been on the crosshairs of those who want US forces to keep occupying defeated Germany 80 years after its defeat. Trump may say the US troops are there to protect Germany from Russia, but he knows the real reason and it is the same reason US troops are in Okinawa. An independent Germany and Japan is a a scary thought. No one makes ICE cars better than these two countries. Germany makes the best and the cleanest diesel, but no one believes that anymore, because everyone believes VW cheated. But it is only considered cheating when the rules on pollution, on what is and isn't clean, are not dictated by science but by an agenda. An agenda to deceive and to make money off that deception, as well as to weaken their perceived antagonists that are rich in fossil fuels. Those that enrich themselves by printing and dealing in Mickey mouse money have the gall to make black gold worthless and sell us electric cars that without subsidies would only be stillborn and be the stuff of scifi fantasy.

@LetTheRedeemed

For sure. The pros or pro wannabes can leverage the use of social media to promote their stature and their services. They can write books, make podcasts and vlogs, and they can gain a following and some income opportunities and make it their career/vocation.

Many who don't have time nor interest in learning more deeply Peatology but want someone familiar with it to hold their hands in improving their health would want to go to their feeds.

But I personally feel that finding a balance between the demands of being an enabler of the spread of useful information risks not having enough time anymore to peek into unexplored and obscure crevices that lead to discoveries. What happens is they go into recursive patterns of affirmation that may exalt them but not necessarily make them on the leading and cutting edge of the field. This is the classic dilemma of being a conventional doctor, who has long stopped learning new tricks, as old dogs do, but are more popular than ever given that their patients don't know any better than recommend the familiar to their friends and colleagues.

You might ask why Peat chose the relative obscurity of writing newsletters instead of other more lucrative sources of income. He could have chosen for be a $400/hr health coach. Speaking of high fee coaches, do they really give value for the services they give, when looking at them they don't exactly exude an aura of health, and when they do, d?o they really project that aura without going to body shops to have fillers and a makeover? Just goes to show there is a lot of unknown we are dealing with, and no doctor or coach can help more than what one can on himself by being on that journey of discovery himself.

@Milk-Destroyer

Twitter is for sound bites. Many in this sphere need more than sound bites. Which is why many subscribed to Peat's newsletters (to provide sound bites Peat was gracious enough to answer the simple questions from the old lady at the Herbal Doctor's program then).

There are short 6-month courses for technicians. And there are PhDs that take 7 years for the breadth and depth needed to be able to develop the insight into matters to synthesize from prior breakthroughs in the field to move forward on discoveries.

It's easier to make eggshell powder, I think.

@Kvirion A biweekly sked works out pretty well. I wonder if there are more interested in this. It is going to need some commitment, as it is easy for people to drop out. But if we can keep it going and participation is strong, we can learn a lot from it. And the more we understand, the more we are likely to connect the dots more.

It also can help form a strong core of members that lend structure and energy to the forum, in a very Peaty sense

@gg12 I was thinking if you would like to start a series of discussions where each week we would pick a newsletter of his and dissect it. As each newsletter has its own focus on an aspect of Peatology, and Peat says things that needed some unpacking in order to be understood and internalized fully by the reader. When he was alive, I would email him to clarify. Now we have to tap the collective mind in this forum.

It is when the disinterested cultural elite realize the extent they have been brainwashed that they begin to evangelize Peat with fervor like a snowballing avalanche that we shudder because the occult has lost its mystery and we take offense at being preached to. Being preached to by our persecutors is like an apostle being preached to by Paul.

I can only chuckle as this perestroika moment comes and passes us, as I expect various Youtubers reinterpret Peat and start their own breakaway denominations.
