    Can anyone help me find this study that Ray references?

    Ray talks about a group of women trying to lose weight who were found to be able to gain weight on even 700 calories a day, where the food was controlled in metabolic wards. He mentions it here, for example: View: https://youtu.be/yylOTFJFxko?t=1203 Does anyone know what study he's referring...

    Can infections cause symptoms in a state of high metabolism?

    For example, chronic infections like lyme, or parasitic infections. The goal isn’t so much to fully get rid of them, but to enable the body to keep them under check and remain assymptomatic. So I wonder if anyone got in remission from these or other issues, just by raising his metabolism

    Building an arduino-based capnometer

    Hi all, been studying the bioenergetic view intensely for over six months now and have become interested in measuring CO2 as a way to gauge metabolic rate. Georgi talks about it here I'm thinking it should be possible to make one using an arduino/teensy for a lower cost than the commercially...

    Eating more to speed up the metabolic rate. Phony stuff. Here's why.

    Here is a really good article and podcast by Eric Trexler on reverse dieting. I think it's very relevant as they discuss metabolic slowdown, upregulating the metabolic rate, fat loss, energy expenditure, etc. It puts a lot of things into perspective and debunks a lot of myths. Just spend the...

    First Steps To Increasing Body Temperature

    I currently weigh about 165-170 depending on how carbed up I am. I lift weights and make progress, indicating that I recover well. My diet has a lot of protein, a lot of saturated fat, and moderate carbs some days and several hundred grams of carbs other days (rice, dates, figs, berries...

    Alzheimer's patients have lower metabolic rate and higher fatty acid oxidation

    Just a quick post in regards to a study that found the drug donepezil - commonly used to "treat" Alzheimer's Disease (AD) - may improve mitochondrial function in muscles. While the findings of the study in regards to donepezil are debatable and not particularly interesting, buried inside the...

    Metabolically, children are different species compared to adults

    A great study, which once again puts metabolism in the spotlight. Many studies have tried to discover the main biological differences between children and adults and so far none of them have discovered a "smoking gun". At the same time, multiple studies have demonstrated that children are much...

    Replacing starch with sucrose increases metabolism, prevent obesity

    A study that will certainly generate controversy in the low-carb blogosphere, but the findings are hard to dispute. Namely, feeding a diet for 15 weeks, in which 74.3% of the calories come from carbs in the form of starch was clearly obesogenic, caused insulin resistance and elevated blood...

    Metabolic Rate & Longevity

    Peat's central premise is that a high metabolic rate will improve chances of longevity. This is in direct contrast to the mainstream premise. (Just look up "metabolic rate longevity") to get an idea of this. I'm trying to gather up evidence for the idea that a higher metabolic rate gives us a...

    The high sugar model did not prove to be a good model of obesity

    Excess sugar consumption doesn't necessarily make you fat, if you have sufficient nutrients to use the carbs. "but the daily caloric intake was higher in the HS group in relation to the C and HFHS groups (HS: 92 ± 2.0 vs. C: 79.2 ± 2.6 and HFHS: 77.3 ± 1.7 kcal/day, p < 0.05)." And yet...

Both drugs significantly increased survivorship and maximal life span. Maximal longevity was 136 days for...

    Levothyroxine (T4) Monotherapy Often Ineffective For Hypothyroidism

    As most of my readers know, the currently approved therapy for hypothyroidism is levothyroxine (T4). While technically T3 and combined T4/T3 therapy are also approved by FDA, the former is only used in severe cases of myxedema and the latter is considered obsolete and a remnant of the days when...

Keep in mind that according to mainstream medicine, eclampsia is untreatable and the approach is to have the baby delivered ASAP...
