Hey, recently I took a test for vit D & PTH to check if I need supplements.
Well, D came juste above the lower range,
PTH came at the very low range,
What I thought about this data was : that's good, PTH is low so it's good and this D is in normal range and seems enough to down the PTH so...
Looking for some advice on how I can get adequate calcium from sources that are non dairy, not supplements, and not nuts/seeds or greens.
I know I have severely limited the options there to say the least, but all of those things make me constipated. I'm lactose intolerant so I typically drink a...
A few months ago I posted about a study discussing the role of lipid peroxidation in the COVID-19 pathology. While that study did not make any statements about effects of diet on the disease course/outcome, it did suggest lipid peroxidation blockers such as vitamin E would be therapeutic. Now...
An older study, but some great information in there. Not only does it call attention to the fallacy of progesterone being nothing more than a "sex" hormone, but it also warns about the fallacy of equating the synthetic progestins with bioidentical progesterone. At least, when it comes to...
I don't know when this started, but it's bothering me a lot. I have these pretty pronounced vertical ridge-like structures in my fingernails. It was pretty hard to photograph, but I tried my best at it and editing it a bit to make them more easily visible:
It may not look like much, but they...
I don't know if this has always been the case, but recently I've noticed that Ray tends to boil down his health advice to the following three pillars:
a high ratio of calcium to phosphate
adequate vitamin D levels (around 50 ng/ml)
correcting thyroid function
The suggestion being that if you...
I'm not a big fan of milk. It gives me excess mucus. However I do love yogurt and cheese. I also eat a lot of eggs every week, and I hear that egg shells are a good source of calcium.
Could yogurt, cheese, and eggshells be used as a good source of calcium over milk? Or any other good sources...
While searching for the ideal calcium supplement I came across calcium alpha-ketoglutarate which I think has not been discussed on this forum yet and looks highly interesting. There is a study showing that calcium alpha-ketoglutarate extends lifespan and compresses morbidity in aging mice...
According to dental and skeletal remains, hunter gatherers were taller and healthier than early farmers.
I'm thinking the most common foods (depending on location) if you were a hunter gatherer would be rabbit, fish, crustaceans, tubers, nuts, berries, leaves (many of which have oxalates)...

Peat has written many times in his articles about the long-distance communication among cells in a living organism. When a single cell is injured is sends a signal, which if strong enough, can traverse the entire organism. This mechanism is known to occur in animals yet medical science still...
Just like the other vitamin products we have released, this product does not really need any introduction to anybody familiar with Peat's work. So, unlike other products of ours, there won't be as many references listed in support of this product but I think even the few ones below are enough to...

Abstract
Respiratory Alkalosis due to changes in sympathetic hyperarousal during pathological emotional states can change our cognitive abilities. This occurs through the effects of Alkalosis upon cerebral vasoconstriction and the...
Peat said that too little calcium and vitamin D and too much phosphate lead to kidney degeneration, and supplementing those "in many cases will correct the whatever the liver and kidney problem is." [source]

The rate of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), which almost always fatal, has increased several fold in the last 2 decades and especially in people younger than 40. At the same time the rate of soft tissue calcification has increased and it is now estimated that even children as young ad 8 have some...
As the study says, the direct cause is high intestinal levels of calcium but as the study also says these are usually due to poor calcium absorption. And unless a person has IBD (which is rare) the low vitamin D status or PPI drug (GERD) use stand out as the most likely causes, even more so...
An interesting study
