@Truth I answered. You not satisfied?

Or do you like to serve more tripe?

@Truth said in Banned from RP forum : Can you do better than this.:

Real question, how many years have you been on the "Ray peat" forum, have you reached your idea of an "optimal sugar metabolism", if you haven't, how do you know what it is?

What if I tell you Ray Peat himself told me that I understand it very well, would you believe it? Or would you just say I'm lying. Ray has better judgment than to call me a moron. But I rather you take my word on it, because I just kept that exchange between him and me. I'm not using that exchange to earn bragging rights. And I prefer for observant and discerning users at RPF to gain trust in my ability to help them on the strength of my knowledge than on boasting that Ray said I'm OG. But really, I loathe many health coaches and doctors out there who do a great job marketing their services but really have little knowledge nor ability to heal their patients.

Go ahead and tell me I just made this up. That would say more about you than about me.

@RaypEagle

If thyroid were the sole limiting substance that keeps your blood sugar from being absorbed and metabolized optimally, which by that I mean you fully get into mitochondrial respiration, blood sugar would not go up as much and as high as it used to, and this would negate the need for the pancreas to secrete a large amount that it used to. This large amount of insulin signals the liver to convert blood sugar to triglycerides in order to lower blood sugar. But the amount of insulin secreted by the pancreas is not always perfectly calibrated to give a drop in blood sugar that keeps blood sugar from reaching too low a level, and your blood sugar may stay at a low level long enough to trigger hunger before blood sugar levels start going up (or not, as in your liver not having glycogen stores that gets converted to sugar by adrenalin).

Having T3 made available would get your blood sugar from dropping to the low levels that trigger hunger.

banana bags

you mean for thiamine iv infusion?

Yes. There's a good article at that link.

@mostlylurking said in Just found out I have reactive hypoglycemia. What now?:

I'm very hopeful that you will be able to fully recover. Or at least achieve tremendous improvement.

I am very confident of this as well.

I had ataxic gait fall of 2020; I kept bouncing off the walls. I also developed a tremor in my right hand. But these resolved via high dose thiamine hcl. When I got so sick, I was taking thiamine hcl, 100mg, 2Xday, but I took it with orange juice (oops). Many of the patient Before Treatment videos show people having a hard time walking, so the Ataxic Gait seems to be a tell tale sign.

I just learned of the term "gait ataxia" or "ataxic gait.." Is this your first time to hear the term as well? Seems like had I know of this term earlier, I would not refer to it as "a symptoms of parkinson's" or "myasthenia gravis." As it would be easier to see it associated with beriberi and to vitamin b1 deficiency.

I learned about "ataxic gait" in 2020 when it was happening to me. Dr. Chandler Marrs has a video where she talks about the deterioration of her mother's health; maybe that's what made me really understand it.

It seems that all of the thiamine experts that I have relied on are clinicians; they all have had hands on experience treating actual patients rather than only being off in some laboratory working with test tubes and computers. There's tons of good research you can find on line about thiamine, but expensive double blind studies are scarce because no one can patent thiamine.

Very true! This is where the practitioners of "evidence-based" scientism lord it over clinicians all the time. Sad that a majority worship at the temple of scientism. The irony is that the more "educated" one is the more he relies less on other measures of evidence that includes observation and perceiving and thinking. And rely on curated google searches and wikipedia as their research.

I hate Wikipedia; at best it's the consensus of the brainwashed.

The problem with "evidence based" scientism is that the ones in control (medical industrial complex + "science" post Project Paperclip) demand empirical double blind human studies for the "gold standard" of proof. The only entities that can afford to do that type of study are the pharmaceutical companies for things that they can patent to make big bucks on. The system is broken.

Why we are in this forum is to sidestep that illusion, yet many people here still trust google as the final arbiter.

Searching for good studies online is time consuming; the ones they want you to find are at the top; the better ones are buried further down. Using "quotation marks" around key words can shorten the search.

I'm just as glad as you are that we used this forum to confirm each other's experiencing gait ataxia and if I can confirm megadosing b1 is effective, it strengthens our "clinician" equivalent approach to the other "evidence-based' approach. If this forum can do more of this kind of discovery, it would become far more helpful and useful than other forums.

Elliot Overton counsels clients in nutrition. He has a lot of good videos about thiamine.

Dr. Chandler Marrs treats patients at her clinic.

Dr. Derrick Lonsdale was a pediatrician at the Cleveland Clinic. He's retired now, is over 100 years old, takes TTFD daily, and still responds to questions in the Comments (below the articles) at hormonesmatter.com.

Dr. Costantini (died 2020), treated thousands of Parkinson's Disease patients successfully in Italy with thiamine hcl.

I have to find more time to view/read those links you shared earlier. Thanks a lot!

You're welcome.

There's an enormous amount of information on line about thiamine. It seems modern science cannot keep it hidden so well. For example, if you try to search for Thiamine and Cancer, the first studies that show are the ones about oncologists saying thiamine can cancel out the effect of their chemotherapy drugs so thiamine's bad. But further down the screen, you will find helpful research that includes info about low dose thiamine being carcinogenic but high dose thiamine is anti-carcinogenic. There's also a broad range between the low dose and the high dose that is neither carcinogenic nor anti-carcinogenic.

What serendipity, CMJ has an article on hi-dose supplementation on what to look out for in implementing hi-dose b1 supplementation. It's free for a day on substack. I wonder what's the best way to save it for my use. Perhaps print to PDF;

BTW, On the third day of 1500mg b1, I saw my overnight O²Ring chart go from a score of 7.5 to 9.3, indicating lower frequency in spO2 drops, and lower levels of drops in magnitude, which had been ongoing as far back as 3 years ago, when I began tracking it.

I also saw my ECG's QRS curve increase in height signifying strong electrical voltage restored in pumping my heart, which I track to ascertain how much free my lungs was free from liquid (pleural effusion). My QTc value , a proxy marker for testing for hypothyroidism Ray has talked about, has improved from 440 msec to 385, pushing me towards hyper to normo-thyroid territory.

Still waiting for my gait ataxia to disappear.

@saturnuscv

Marvelous!

How Old Testamenty of you.

@brightside said in New "Mission" of RPF:

Speaking of signatures, yours made me chuckle. I like it.

Haha, just what the doctor ordered!

@S-Holmes You got that right !

@S-Holmes

Am not sure if you read Unz regularly, but only a Jew can smell how Zionists stink, whether Jewish or Christian:

@brightside I noticed just now that charlie is a Christian Zionist from his signature. How could I miss that? Or maybe I did not subconsciously, which spurred me to cause myself to be banned.

There is much leas doubt as to charlie's true nature being that of a chimera, with the head of a lion and the body of a snake. Though calling him a snake is as wrong in a perjorative sense in calling him a Nazi. One (the snake) is an ancient psy-op while the other(Nazi) is a recent one conjured up by Talmudist/Zionists whose magnus opus is the creation of the myth of the Holocaust, with the Zionist creation of an Orc army of Christian Zionists aka Evangelical Christians whose identity and raison d'etre is to support the fictional "Chosen People" with the fervor of Popeye fighting Brutus. No wonder charlie supports Trump, whose strongest base of support are Christian Zionists and who offers an alternative no better than the dialectically opposing side of Democrats.

Charlie's intention is to make an RPF vs. AMA dialectic where health is a choice between adopting his twisted and equally harmful version of Ray Peat ( just like the Zionists make a harmful version of Jesus Christ) in a war of good vs evil vs. the AMA. Both are Zionist constructs.

@Truth

I think you earned points towards being respected. Keep it up! You're doing a heckuva job. Next time I suggest you put on a show and come out with guns blazing.

@Truth said in Banned from RP forum : Can you do better than this.:

Be honest, what impact did it have that I constantly called you moron, neutral or negative?

I'm immune to it. Keep calling me a moron, and that spurs me to become smarter. Thank you, It was a positive. But relative to you, being smart is a low bar to pass.

@risingfire glad we share good thoughts of Ray and find his spirit lives on and talks to us in his writings.

@Truth said in Banned from RP forum : Can you do better than this.:

So you're the clown if there is a clown

well, a true clown is recognized without trying to be one before he graduates into being a bozo, and you're winning in earning that recognition

@Truth said in Banned from RP forum : Can you do better than this.:

No, I wouldn't have banned you. I didn't report you either

thank you for engaging

@Truth said in Banned from RP forum : Can you do better than this.:

Super irelevant rambling, moron, I grew up in the suburbs with people super mean to each other, that doesn't legitimize making disdainful moron claims about others based on fantaisies, and it doesn't change anything about the negative impact of these claims

were the burbs mean to you? wait till you move to the city. and take off the gloves and put on some weight. you think you're ripped but it's really sticks and bones. appalling! and develop your twiggy legs!

@S-Holmes

Burt has a lot of insights as well as references shared. He wanted to get volunteers to scan and ocr some books so they can be shared. I bought a scanner and installed some opensource scanning and OCR software. This was after a long time, but still intend to work with him in doing that. I wonder if he will join this forum, and we could get that going.

@Not_James_Bond said in Banned from RP forum : Can you do better than this.:

That ship being the Titanic, and Charlie is in the Orchestra, along with a few others, even moderator Blossom seems to have caught the delusion.

Que lastima! Blossom is loyal to charlie to a fault. I nominated her to replace him in one of my last posts before I got banned. She had been an admin there for a long time, and doing a good job. But her banning @Amazoniac was something that is a mystery to me.

@Truth I said I was wrong, yes. But I am a low energy person. I give up easily in an argument going nowhere. I slept well notwithstanding. My choice of words is regrettable for the backlash I cannot explain enough for sensitive people like you. You are on a moral crusade to prevent toxic people like me from people who walk on eggshells from joining this forum.

If you were a moderator, you would ban me. If you could shadow ban me, you would not hesitate to do so. This forum, hopefully, will be a "safe space" for me from the shadow banning and censorious form the fake reality social media space we had to put up with that don't engage anymore but simply shadow ban.

I grew up in a world where bullying was not encouraged but tolerated. It made me stand up to bullies. It made be develop and stand up to the bullies that exist outside the artificial rules-based order of the school. You are obviously a product of the newer, stricter, no-bullying with no ifs and buts order. Makes you weak and unable to cope with people who understand that reality is not fair nor kind. You are but a small puppy with a loud bark.

@Peatly said in Banned from RP forum : Can you do better than this.:

it was really that bad surely you would have left way before you were banned?

I should have long ago. It was a mistake to spend more time in a sinking ship. To not follow the others who left earlier and to be in denial that there was something slowly eating away RPF. It was hard to see the apple was also rotting from its core. I saw it rotting away from its periphery only.

I don't know you or don't recognize you. But you are a person of reason. The forum can benefit from your presence. Your criticism is well taken. I don't use strong words that appear like I lack empathy, but I use them from time to time because they can wake people up from their slumber.

@Not_James_Bond

I woke up to see @truth wasting a lot of energy for one word

@sphenoid I chuckle

We both wasted a lot of energy but I hope you were entertained by this clown
