If diet doesn't provide glucose and fructose. Then liver can't make thyroid(T4 to T3) as easily
and will down regulate thyroid. Sucrose and lactose are effective at maintaining production
of thyroid hormones. Calcium and sodium stimulates metabolic rate.
Diabetics survived and recovered when plain white sugar is added to diet.(Referring to study
on diabetics who were wasting away)
Male Pattern Baldness: No evidence that testosterone is responsible. Prolactin is increased in
balding men and women. Prolactin is also know as the molting hormone. Prolactin and
cortisol rise during stress.
Anti-aromatase foods are important. Orange juice, guava, and others contain similar
chemicals. Celery, parsley, and aspirin are anti-estrogenic. Milligram of Vitamin K for every
standard 325mg aspirin is recommended.
Niacin flushing isn't healthy becasue it releases serotonin, histamine, and toxic
prostaglandins. "No flush niacin" is no more healthy. Niacinimide is recommended.
Vitamin D is a regulatory material in bone and hair growth. Parathyroid hormones when
temporarily released helps bone and hair growth. Chronic elevation of parathyroid will
damage bones.
Daily carrot salad- Fiber in carrot isn't digestible and has slightly antimicrobial properties.
Liver releases bile with toxic chemicals and hormones to be excreted. These can be
reabsorbed in damaged small intestine. Carrot fiber helps remove those toxins from small
intestine
Juicy fruits should be eaten raw. Starchy fruits should be cooked. Undercooked starch
particles can enter bloodstream(starch persorbtion) and block capillaries killing cells and
organs. Also causing premature aging.
Potatoes when thoroughly cooked(more so when boiled in water) are good. Best when eaten
with butter or other saturated fat. (helps prevent persorbtion of starches) Also best served
warm to minimize amount of resistant starches which increase endotoxins.
Seafood and liver recommended weekly.
Milk, liver, cheese, eggs, meat, and seafood are good sources of B vitamins. Will help
neuromuscular and cognitive function. Vitamin B1 is especially helpful with memory and
recall.
In the 20s people lost weight on less than 1700 calories a day due to having faster
metabolisms. Poor diet and stress slows the metabolism and body begins to burn fat. Brain
and red blood cells need sugar and will convert muscle to sugar if necessary. (This deserves
on thread)
Sugar is muscle sparing and prevents catabolic breakdown. Muscles at rest will increase fat
metabolism. More muscle=more fat burning at rest. Active muscles prefer sugars. Too much
muscle stress will increase estrogen. Muscles produce testosterone.
Heart is one of the main receptors of testosterone.
Glucose in eggs/embryo stimulates brain growth. Removal of glucose in eggs/embryo
increases death of brain cells. Restricting sugar during pregnancy is generally not advised.
Gestational diabetes scare originated from glucose tolerance test in 60s.
Pregnant women normally have blood glucose levels of about 130(?). Progesterone also helps
with metabolism of glucose and helps prevent miscarriages. Low progesterone will cause low
blood sugar in pregnant women and potential miscarriage.
High estrogen increases chance of miscarriage.
Citric acid causes you to lose calcium in the urine. Calcium carbonate is safer calcium
supplement and stimulates born formation. Milk/dairy recommended as calcium sources, or
1/4 teaspoon of eggshells. Oyster shells are more toxic than eggshells. Bone meal contains
heavymetals
Cortisol causes catabolic effect on muscles. Carbohydrates in form of fructose can help spare
amino acid loss from cortisol. (Fructose periworkout to replinish muscle & liver glycogen so
metabolism stays high which helps to recover faster & prevent muscle wasting for glycogen)
Ray Peat when asked about his normal diet: milk, eggs, orange juice, oysters or liver weekly,
gelatinous food every day
(Your needs will obviously vary)
Fasting is catabolic and will consume healthy tissues to aquire glucose. Fasting increases
cortisol and metabolic rate higher for first few days until metabolism is downregulated due
to low amount of sugar and high amount of amino acids in blood. Hormonal glands
downregulated.
Brain acts as a detoxifying organ. Albumin and lipoproteins released into bloodstream when
liver is overburdened and helps detoxify blood. Albumin is bood measure of liver health.
Giver and fructose can help increase albumin by removing reabsorbtion of endotoxins. <4
unhealthy
Fruit juice has more minerals than refined carbs. Potassium found in most fruits acts as
insulin and helps lower glycemic load of carbohydrate(or insulin response from protein)
Milk slows absorption of lactose and calcium stimulates metabolism to increase use of
sugars. Milk drinkers are often thinner.
Liver spots are caused by PUFA and stresss
Increasing cholesterol via sugar can be therapeutic
Small amount of fat helps stimulate the intestines and absorb fat-soluble vitamins. Small
amount of PUFA fats in natural fat sources are stored gradually overtime as the body
preferably metabolizes saturated fat. This slow accumulation of PUFA in the body overtime
leads to aging
Under stress fat is released(PUFA) so stress becomes more harmful over time as we age since
more PUFAs have been accumulated and can be released.
Aspirin improves calcium retention in bones and is safe if taken along with vitamin K.
Vitamin K regulates calcium, protects arteries from calcification, and allows bones to use
CO2. Carboxalate(?) binds calcium to the bone. Liver and Kale with butter are food sources
T3 and caffeine have topical use to help hair regrowth. Possible hair regrowth oil: olive oil,
DHEA, natural progesterone.
Olive oil, 25mg of DHEA, 50 milligrams natural progeserone. Creates a week's worth
Coconut oil can have an antihistamine effect and can help moderate coffee's negative effects
along with sugar. All cells can produce histamine when adequately stressed.
Poorly digested or undigested starches(resistant starches) causes behavior changes, anxiety,
and aggression. Causes endotoxins via bacterial overgrowth that can inflame intestines and
liver.
Cooked starch is turned to glucose and causes insulin release. Excess glucose is stored as fat
quickly when you eat more than you need/can metabolize.
Eating too much pure protein/protein only meals causes a fall of blood sugar and increase of
cortisol which is catobolic to muscles and thymus. Will cause fat deposition around waist
similar to Cushing's syndrome.
Leaky gut may be caused by radiation, estrogen, PUFA, heavy metals, etc. Leaky gut is when
intestines become inflamed and leaky capillarries destroys the barrier between substances in
intestine and blood and affects other tissues and organs via the blood stream.
On treating diabetes:
Fructose is metabolized without needing insulin.
Experiments with people with diabetes: patients who were allowed to eat as much sucrose as
the wanted eventually recovered.
Type 1 diabetes may be a type of autoimmune disease. Inflamation reaction to
prostaglandins and PUFA. Saturated fat only diets didn't develop experimental diabetes in
studies.
Diabetes symptoms with normal blood sugar may be be caused by damaged/undigested
starches and PUFA.
Progesterone is highly concentrated in the brain. May oppose testosterone in excess. May
help with epilepsy or athiritus.
On yeast and fungal infections:
If yeast are starved of sugar, they will seek areas high in estrogen and release filaments
looking for sugars and invade tissues and become deadly. Low thyroid people often have high
estrogen and this favors yeast infection.
On yeast and fungal infections cont:
Flours or precipitates of sulphur will help kill fungus. Vinegar may also help.
(Vinegar+coconut oil+shredded carrot(?))
Vitamin E helps maintain fertility and prevent miscarriage. Needs increase with age and
PUFA intake. Quality supplemental vitamin E is extremely hard to find. (idealabs supposed
to have a good one)
On sugar and cancer:
Animals with tumor normally have stable blood sugar. Even when cutting supply off. Cancer
will send stress hormones to release sugar. Also cancer will consume surrounding tissue. In
studies cancer will consume high concentrations of sugar until it died.
On liver:
A damaged liver will ruin the whole organism. Is the chemist for the body. If the liver is not
getting enough protein or B vitamins it can lose its ability to detoxify. You may get horomone
imbalances. Tissues may become more fibrous and lungs will become inflamed
Endurance exercise causes heart atrophy, reduction of testosterone, reduction of fertility,
and lungs become inflamed.
How to reduce serotonin:
Reduce intestinal inflammation, avoid resistant starches, avoid salads, and avoid
undercooked vegetables.
Fasting releases PUFAS which oxidize. Destroys enzymes ability to produce energy. Failure
to produce energy causes a stress response. Depending on efficiency of liver, time without
food until stress response varies. In individuals with unhealthy liver, this can affect sleep.
Fructose and lactose are preferred forms of sugar. Usually absorbed within first foot or so of
the intestine. Lower insulin response to fructose, and lactose from milk is combined with fat
which slows its release and therefore the stress response. (milk before bed)
Vitamin B1 is correlated with short term memory and improves mood. Often lowered by
stress. Deficiency causes sluggishness, poor mood, psychosis, and hallucinations. Dose
recommended: 10mg up to 100mg for extremely stressful situations.
If you are healthy you can meet challenges without experiencing stress. Healthy people store
about 7-8 ounces of glucose in the form of glycogen in the liver, muscles, and brain. If
relaxed and not stressed you can go longer without experiencing stress.
Once glycogen stores becomes low, adrenaline begins to rise and once it reaches a certain
level cortisol is released. Cortisol can dissolve tissues like the thymus to get sugars when
blood sugars drop. Next, muscles will be broken down.
Heart, brain, and lungs contain a lot of testosterone which prevents their breakdown exept
under extremely stressful situations.
Candida thrives when you lack the membrane surface antibodies. The antibodies depend on
thyroid and progesterone. If you are low thyroid you will have problems regulating blood
sugar. If you starve candida of sugar it will attempt to invade via filaments int surrounding
cells.
200mg of sulphur 2 or 3 days in a row can help eliminate bacteria overgrowth
Stress- falling blood sugar and rising lactic acid is the universal feature of stress. Lactic acid
is the main source for producing endorphins or endogenous opiates. Endorphins are a sign
of stress.
IBS is an inflamed bowel. Gluten resembles a protein that tissues make under the influence
of estrogen or stress. Seeds contain toxins to protect against digestion.
Increasing CO2 by breathing into bag can lower lactic acid. Chronic elevated lactic acid is
correlated with cancer. Higher altitude also increases CO2.
People with alzheimers generally lack stimulation
You want sugars that don't strongly stimulate insulin which leads to storage as fat. Fructose
moderates production of fat, raises temperature, increases conversion of carbohydrates to
energy, and actives the thyroid better than glucose alone.
Fruit, honey, and white sugar are preferred sources of fructose.
Vitamin A activates enzymes that make steroids. Increases ability to make pregnenolone,
progesterone, and DHEA. Brain is a major steroid forming organ along with skin and
gonads.
Topically applied progesterone may help with skin discoloring. It can be absorbed through
skin.
Caffeine if taken on an empty stomach will drop blood sugar and stimulate stress. Best if
taken with food.
On light:
Red light therapy is good. Avoid intense midday sunlight to mitigate oxidative damage stress
which can affect pufa.(?) Damage is not localized to skin.
Endotoxin leads to inflamed intestines releases serotonin into bloodstream which can cross
the blood brain barrier and cause a stress response. This will release even more serotonin
causing vicous circle.
Titanium dioxide and silica dioxide are found in many food supplements and can cause
inflammation in the brain via small intestines.
Enemas and laxatives were one of the oldest treatments for cancer. PUFA originally became
viewed as healthy because in high doses it is a laxative.
Loss of sodium releases aldosterone which causes magnesium loss. Sodium is magnesium
sparing.
Sugar and salt can help lower adrenaline. (Good before bed)
You will often become sleepy after lowering elevated adrenaline.
UV light primarily damages cells by oxidizing PUFA. Aspirin can help manage this. Best to
avoid harmful radiation and EMF.
Cold hands and feet, low blood, anxiety, fatigue, depression, edema, and frequent hunger are
signs of hypothyroidism.
PUFA is harmful for metabolism because it blocks thyroid secretion from the gland, blocks
transport in the bloodstream, and blocks in several places in the cell.
Blood type has little to no effect on dietary needs.
Diet needs are influenced by personal history, metabolic rate, activity level, lifestyle factors,
body size, etc
