I NEED my D2 receptors back, but they take months and years to regenerate even partially and most likely will never fully come back
Yeah, I find it very interesting that fructose actually causes less glycation than glucose. Makes me think where Lustig got that fructose-causes -more- glycation theory from. Probably from in vitro studies.
This is false - organic farmers may use certain pesticides, while others are prohibited.
Note:
@Blinkyrocket was banned permanently for making very disturbing statements towards forum members. Here is an example of one of them:
For some reason, when we switched over to the new forum software, some of the bans did not transfer over and he was allowed back into the system. Yesterday, once I saw he was back, and also mistreating members again, I went ahead and re-applied the permanent ban due to his continued disrespect of the community.
He then goes onto the .org site and says this:
Blinkyrocket:
As @Constatine mentioned earlier, you are allowed to disagree here, and we welcome that. But you will do it respectfully if you want to continue to participate here.
Ok.
" (downregulation of D1/2 receptors with opioid-like withdrawal symptoms)."
Peat said it took him two years to get away/of from starch.
If you have enough vital energy and not so severe metabolic issues most problems are corrected literally in a couple of weeks or even days if everything is done strictly if you know whats main underlaying issue.
Of course....Unless u have serious problems with thyroid , poor health and stress from childhood , years long life stress and dieting and then with stomach acid and gut health and SIBO and congested liver..
This has been already explained very well by Peat and elsewhere by other members in the past threads but this is my interpretation whats happening when cortisol starts to rule ower your thyroid
Trust me I too blamed sugar and Ca and got frustrated for some minor issues that I started to notice at the end of third year of peating and it was related to some minor changes and some other private life stressors as usually is the case that are allowing the cortisol to go ahead and make a circle of unwanted reactions that shift the balance into an chaotic drug-like state unless i made very small changes and those issues I had with appetite for sweet and with sleep and teeths literally cleared in a week and everything came back in normal.
In your case maybe it is not about minor issues that entered cortisol circle and maybe you have very high cortisol because of low thyroid with sluggish liver or some life stress. And even if u have SIBO it can be corrected fully only with thyroid and liver health and adequate nutrition which will enable strong acid and digestion .
Your cortisol is surely high for some reason which can be seen in loss of appetite and muscles and gain in weight around abdomen. Cortisol can be elevated from several reasons one of which is poor thyroid, sluggish liver, lack of nutrients needed for activation and transport of thyroid hormone or for detoxifying the overburdened liver or from life or job stress.
In such situation body doesn t crave sugar and normal nourishing pro metabolic food sources of protein(it will lower blood sugar and body doesnt want that since it trying to stay alive) and fat because it will lower cortisol and body is not craving and do not signal appetite for it because it tries to commpensate poor stressed undernourished metabolism with pumping more cortisol for missing nutrients or low thyroid or poor liver and other mentioned stressors ....
Cortisol eats your muscles to provide high blood sugar since everything failled and puts fat reserve and it is a common mechanism to keep you alive when thyroid, liver and overall metabolism cannot function properly.
And body normaly is seeking high cortisol inducing things to keep that state such as Starch, pufa fried junk foods etc.
And of course you will feel great on cortisol boosting foods because you are satisfying body's atempt to increase cortisol and you will also keep serotonin levels high and will accelerate aging. And some even lose excess weigh on starch withoit losing muscles since glucose from starch prevents that but I think its also cortisol related and not good long therm.
In such situations eating sole table sugar and coffee will make it worse as in his case because those two will not be used properly because of high cortisol state and they will increase stress and serotonin further instead of lowering it.
So I also think that a lot of people who start eating Peaty have not so ideal thyroid and liver health as Haidut figured out and have high cortisol at the begining and so they gain weight easily, have blood sugar issues, have liver and SIBO problems , crave starch to keep body's strivings for cortisol satisfied...and even for people that are eating like this for longer time there are always periods of increased unavoidable stress and cortisol and sugar and Ca are not doing what they should, it can worsen SIBO and overburdens the liver and craving for starch and street junk food starts to appear in such situations.
That is why Peat says we need to have constantly high thyroid and progesterone/pregnenolone(and sometimes supplement them) to keep us more resistant to stress and not to fall in trap and circle of cortisol and starch cravings where sugar and Ca can not do their job.
I also blamed sugar and milk but For sugar isses and Ca In my case as i said in previous posts i was just missing some nutrients and proteins and a higher fat dairy to stabilize Ca excitation effects and probably enhance soluble vitamins metabolism esspecially vit K. Now i can eat 500 g of table sugar without any issues.
I found being less ignorrant in trying to watch for symptoms and new things is good instead of criticizing Peat as I did in one recent period when trying to correct minor issue with eating starch and being confused with Tyw theory
And my opinions that table sugar is perfectly fine if other nutrition is good as Peat also said and i wonder how Peat prepares his coffee con leche, gelatin dessert, marmelade or ice cream . He enjoys mexi Coke too.
I must say one thing....To be honest and not disrespectfull in any way but Tyw's evidences, that are valuable for sure and should be appreciated , against some of Peat recommendations and any others who tried (including me) to prove it wrong without strong evidence are still very weak and NOTHING compared to Peats complete image of an organism in articles and books.
He connects so many things andvpresent them as simplest as he could that sometimes some of our interpretations and strivings to "prove it wrong" about his recommendations sounds very funny and stupid. :)
I would advise all members to read Peats books and articles that are not only related to strictly nutrition since they give insight to his whole vision and complete process of understanding of the nature as a wholeness and us as an organic part of it and what his work really is about.
