Somewhere I read that a grounding pad hooked up to a house plug can have negative effects... and that "earthing" (REAL grounding) is far better...

Not sure, but can you clarify?

PS: Please try to do something about "Charlie"... the crackpot running the ray Peat Forum... guy is out of control, paranoid and is anti-Peat. Also a religious nut-roll. He is banning people left and right, only for disagreeing with HIM!

My recommendation would be to not visit that forum. Someone else on youtube mentioned that the dirty electricity from the outlets could cause problems for grounding, so if that was the case, I would try to connect the wire directly to a grounding rod (if possible).

I recall from my Jack Kruse days that you have to be certain of the location of the rod too because of underground circuits or something to technical for me.

Might be pretty tricky in a city, but at least you could test it.

AbidingDude, you are correct. the admin speaks about the low Vit A protocol in religious terms. The zealous fervor is a big mistake in my opinion. I was drawn to Ray Peat's wisdom only in 2022 after eating keto for 22 years. As I was trying to solve my problems, the places where people were communicating in good faith about hormones, mitochondrial function, nitric oxide, carbon dioxide, and so much more . . . were all Ray Peat-related, including the forum you mention. For example if you want a full understanding of nitric oxide, you are going to run into Ray Peat's ideas, and they are going to be contrary to much of the "received wisdom." But it isn't about the person, it is about the clarity of thought from a deeper consideration of a topic. Most people intuitively know that intellectual honesty, open-mindedness and good faith are prerequisites for learning about and improving one's health. But the zealots take the wisdom being cultivated and overapply it. They literalize it to the detriment of many. And when the consequences prove negative, they turn on the wisdom they misapplied. I suspect the same thing will happen with the new paradigm.

Why would you ask this when it's someone else's forum?? Perceive-think-act.

Why don't you mind your own business? Danny has many Peat pals and I thought he maybe could do something about getting rid of a guy that is ruining a great Forum.

That answer you, Ms. Bigmouth?

Wow. Great. Could you slow down just a bit. Like Georgie, it’s hard to keep up. Changing speed on you tube makes it too slow so it’s up to you guys. 😀👍🏻. What about returning gut flora after round of antibiotics? I never hear much about that. Lower dose? Full round? My functional med doc wouldn’t know what the heck I’m talking about. So she would be no help. Also doxy gave me tinnitus. And other nasty side effects. Use with caution. But super good info. 👍🏻

Hello.

Great info thanks a lot friend.

Just a small detail, emmental is swiss, Parmigiano is italian.

French cheese are mostly soft and creamy like camembert.

Lucky me to live in Portugal having a plethora of unknown cheese,mostly sheep and goat. Funny enough,lots of usa citizens are moving here..maybe its the cheese ahah

Awesome post - thank you!

You mention Vitamin K and adrenaline and sleep. Do you mean K1 or K2?

Expand full comment

K2 (MK4) is the one I have the most experience with.

I know Danny Roddy has linked to YT videos showing how easy it is to make a grounding pad. However, I thought saw Danny (or somebody else) link to a company that made them relatively affordably. I have a family of five, and although I enjoy making things, this is one area where I would favor buying a better-manufactured product for the whole family. Am I wrong about Danny Roddy at one time providing a link to such a company? Any suggestions? I see them on Amazon, but I thought I saw a link to what looked like a good company. Thank you to Danny Roddy and all of his smart listeners and commenters!

Danny, could you give me some general hints as to how to try progesterone? I have some from wild yam, 20mg/pump.. maybe dip a finger in and put on... inside of arm or leg? See how it feels, go slowly?

67/male work out often... but T levels low, especially Free T... I usually don't feel so great, kind of a non-specific malaise...

Thx!

What is the best way to figure out my thyroid status?

I assume general TSH type blood tests are not sufficient?

Also... how to stop bad caffeine effects? I love Coke and coffee, but they both give me heart palps, though minor...

Measuring the underarm temperature and resting pulse rate upon rising and again in the afternoon for a few days to find the average is a good start I think. That can sometimes happen when the liver is underfunctioning from hypothyroidism I think.

Expand full comment

thanks. I take my pulse often as it is part of my BP cuff reading... usually around 70ish or less in the afternoon... I'll try the underarm temp thing, what should it be... over 98 in the am, yes?

I just tried underarm and it came in 96.6... I assume that's too low? 9pm.

I suggest that you eat something before your coffee within an hour of waking as well as add cream and sugar/honey to it. If your AM temperature is below 97, you have a thyroid issue. Use the progesterone topically on the inside of your lower arm. But it sounds like you need help with your liver and may not be making T3 from T4. Fruit with some protein several times a day. Kate Deering's book is great for improving your health status with Peat concepts. Some wild yam creams are not any good because they are not actually bio-identical.

Fantastic stuff Danny! Where would you put coconut oil on the grade list?

And what about dark chocolate?

And what’s a good website for purchasing anti biotics?

Thanks a million!
