A thread of threads. Some potentially interesting stuff I've written on here, some goofy stuff in there too. Enjoy!

I must learn chemistry so in case of an apocalypse, I can synthesize pregnenolone and other steroids from yams, anti-serotonin ergot derivatives for metaphysical purposes, iodinated casein (thyroid hormones) in exact proportions, mass quantities of sugar from organic material...

Want a clear, no-nonsense guide to hypothyroidism? Join my Hypothyroid Masterclass group. You’ll learn about the thyroid system, key disorders caused by low T3, hormone metabolism, medications, and how diet & stress affect your numbers. There are 30 videos and a support group.

Call it exponential Peating

Interestingly benadryl has moderate activity at directly increasing serotonin via reuptake inhibition The discovery of this mechanism is actually what lead to the synthesis of Fluoxetine, aka Prozac

Maybe the reason that Benadryl and Cyproheptadine make people irritable is because the anticholinergic action is increasing the interaction between the different types of endotoxins and the gut barrier.

“The simplicity of things such as supplementing thyroid, progesterone, and sugar, avoiding an excess of phosphate in relation to calcium, and avoiding polyunsaturated fats, makes it possible for people to take action themselves, without having to rely on the medical system.” -Ray Peat

Hey guys I think we're all underestimating Vitamin B5

> Gets paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to be aware of what impacts their patient’s health > “no one ever made us aware of the things that do this” 🤷‍♂️

It's getting really overused but I think the Doakes meme is one of my favorites of all time

Most people experience an abundance of energy only in the context of hypomania, driven by the adrenergic system. Which is why they report feeling wired and then crashing the next day. Things get done in a swirl of chaos and lack of structure, whereas energy from a true place of abundance simply gives you the ability to make a choice.

“Biotin, vitamin B6, pantothenic acid, selenium and copper are among the first to become deficient if you try to run on too much coffee and white sugar and not enough food.” —Ray Peat (KMUD, 10-21-11)

Pavel observed that. while an Americans first impulse when picking up a weight was to curl it, a Soviet always tried to press it overhead. This is a very deep reflection of cultural values

This is called having a high calcium/magnesium ratio on a hair tissue mineral analysis. This pattern is called spiritual defensiveness. Anytime a person is living out of alignment with what they believe, this ratio will be skewed on a hair test and it indicates severe lifestyle stress. Many people report odd physical symptoms evaporating overnight when they address whatever it is they are dealing with - wanting a divorce, financial stress, excessive drinking, working or living in a place you hate - the imbalance goes away. My opinion is that mechanistically, the very high calcium relative to magnesium level acts as a functional deficiency for magnesium even if the intake in the diet isn’t low. And many symptoms are related to magnesium deficiency tho just boofing a ton of magnesium will not resolve the pattern because it’s a burn rate issue due to living severely out of alignment. When someone is really living out of alignment, as in the case of homosexuality or someone having a separate family or something, the ratio will be above 40:1 and we call this extreme version of the pattern LIVING A LIE. Meaning their entire life is a living breathing lie.

new Peater lore just dropped

I've made 3 skeletal formula caps: - Liothyronine (T3) - Progesterone - Adrenochrome Available now.

"Through the use of terror, man can be reduced to a childlike and submissive state, in which his powers of reason are clouded, and in which his emotional response to various situations and stimuli can become predictable. By controlling the levels of anxiety, it is possible to induce a similar state in large groups of people, whose behaviour can then be controlled and manipulated." ~Tavistock Institute
