There wasn't room to include this in the title, but this one's with Ray Peat. I really enjoyed it even though some of it's beyond me.

Topic index/notes
00:55 — "The newsletter is available by email now, and it's $28 US which can be paid through PayPal, at [email protected]." Ray Peat

01:27 — "It is extremely important to realize that calcium deposits in soft tissues become worse when the diet is low in calcium." Lets Eat Right to Keep Fit by Adelle Davis (1970) Calcium and Disease: Hypertension, organ calcification, & shock, vs. respiratory energy

03:06 — Can we see living structure in a cell? By Gilbert Ling Can we see living structure in a cell? - PubMed - NCBI

03:22 — The calcium paradox of essential hypertension by David McCarron The calcium paradox of essential hypertension. - PubMed - NCBI

04:18 — Danny's summary of the cell (see Cells, Gels, and The Engines of Life for images)

05:43 — Is it a natural phenomenon for a cell to disorder its water?

05:54 — What retains water in living cells? By Gilbert Ling What retains water in living cells? - PubMed - NCBI

06:51 — "On page 95 of my first book, 'A Physical Theory of the Living State; the Association Induction Hypothesis' you will discover what I call the Principle of Additivity. This Principle suggests that any agent that binds onto the cell proteins will affect the entire protein involved. It is the reach and strength of binding that distinguish a cardinal adsorbent. As an example, each ATP causes the binding of some 8000 water molecules on an appropriate protein molecule. So whether carbon dioxide can be called a cardinal adsorbent is a question that must await more experimental study." Ling (2014)

07:08 — Ray on Gilbert Ling's "lactate paradox" of high altitude experiment (CO2 prevents full depolarization)

07:56 — "In the normal resting state, a cell is 'polarized.' In the depolarized state, a cell is vulnerable, and if it is too frequently depolarized, it can be damaged or killed in the process called 'excitotoxicity,' and other related degenerative processes. Cancer cells are chronically 'depolarized,' and this is related to their low-efficiency metabolism." Lungs, shock, inflammation, and aging by Ray Peat (2002)

08:33 — Why does carbohydrate produce more carbon dioxide than fat?

09:38 — "Mg or K is needed to form the phosphorylated ATPase that then upon exposure to Ca or Na transfers a phosphate to ADP, generating ATP. Mg helps to retain and generate ATP." Andrew Kim

09:39 — "It [magnesium] is the basic protective calcium blocker." Calcium and Disease by Ray Peat (2009)

10:40 — The breakdown of ATP to ADP increases intracellular phosphate. Does something similar happen when a person eats too much phosphate?

10:55 — "In addition, dietary fructose reduces plasma phosphate levels by 30 to 50%…" A medical hypothesis: phosphorus balance and prostate cancer. - PubMed - NCBI

11:26 — Ray on "the high-energy phosphate bond"

12:49 — How is phosphate deenergizing the cell?

14:16 — Is phosphate a cell depolarizer?

14:23 — Ray describes the death of a cell

15:48 — "In the body, as in a chain, the weakest link breaks down under stress although all parts are equally exposed to it.” Stress Without Distress by Hans Selye (1974)

16:38 — "Our brain grows into our culture, and the culture lives in our nervous system." Ray Peat (2009)

16:44 — "It is too often not realized that culture itself is an adaptive tool, one of whose main functions is to make the physiological emergencies come less and less often.” Abraham Maslow (1943)

17:28 — Ray describes finding Maslow's work after reading the Freudians for six months

17:56 — Carl Rogers' work was manipulated by authoritarian-types

18:35 — Ray on the differences between Rogers and Maslow

19:19 — Libertarianism and the Koch brothers

20:00 — Journey into a Libertarian Future 1-6 Journey into a Libertarian Future: Part I –The Vision | naked capitalism, Journey into a Libertarian Future: Part II – The Strategy | naked capitalism, Journey into a Libertarian Future: Part III – Regulation | naked capitalism, Journey into a Libertarian Future: Part IV – The Journey into a Libertarian Past | naked capitalism, Journey into a Libertarian Future: Part V – Dark Realities | naked capitalism, Journey into a Libertarian Future: Part VI – Certainty | naked capitalism


20:22 — "...A person's present-orientedness or, in economic terms, its high degree of time preference (which is highly correlated with low intelligence, and both of which appear to have a common genetic basis)." "In every society of any degree of complexity, specific individuals quickly acquire elite status as a result of having diverse talents. Owing to achievements of superior wealth, wisdom, bravery, or a combination thereof, particular individuals command respect, and their opinions and judgments possess natural authority." Hans-Hermann Hoppe (2007)

20:42 — Ray on Murray Buchan as a good libertarian compared to the Koch-type

20:51 — "Libertarianism in the US has been primarily a decorative veneer for advocacy of transferring government power entirely to the big corporations, but a few people like Justin Raimondo [antiwar.com] seem to be creating a more authentic libertarianism—he’s associated with the Randolph Bourne Institute, and policies very different from the Cato Institute/Koch brothers’." Ray Peat (2017)

21:15 — Danny doubts the usefulness of "the non-aggression principle" in light of Hans Selye's work on stress and survival

21:43 — "Estrogen, hyperventilation, lactate, etc., increase serotonin, and I think it’s serotonin that directly increases PTH, and then PTH increases NO." Ray Peat (2017)

22:23 — "...Serotonin stimulates the secretion of prolactin.” Effects of aromatase inhibition and androgen activity on serotonin and behavior in male macaques. - PubMed - NCBI "...prolactin could be a mirror of serotonin in the brain." The role of prolactin in andrology: what is new? - PubMed - NCBI"...serotonin could be one of the factors regulating PTH secretion and/or contributing to PTH hypersecretion..." Serotonin stimulates adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate accumulation in parathyroid adenoma. - PubMed - NCBI

22:28 — "…An excess of plasma prolactin is associated with an excess of plasma PTH and vice versa." Comparison between the plasma concentrations of prolactin and parathyroid hormone in normal subjects and in patients with hyperparathyroidism or hy... - PubMed - NCBI

22:50—"His profoundly lowered basal metabolic rate and decreased CO2 production, resulting probably from severe hypothyroidism…” Acute respiratory alkalosis associated with low minute ventilation in a patient with severe hypothyroidism. - PubMed - NCBI

23:09 —"…In the rat, TSH induces a release of 5-HT and histamine..." TSH-induced release of 5-hydroxytryptamine and histamine rat thyroid mast cells. - PubMed - NCBI "...Thyroid hormone and the catecholamines are antagonistic, having directly opposing actions on the blood pressure and the blood fats.” The thyroid and atherosclerotic arterial disease. - PubMed - NCBI

23:22 —"Hyperventilation is defined as breathing in excess of the metabolic needs of the body, eliminating more carbon dioxide than is produced, and, consequently, resulting in respiratory alkalosis and an elevated blood pH." The pathophysiology of hyperventilation syndrome. - PubMed - NCBI

24:08 — A good environment and 'not needing' your hormones. Generative Energy #26

24:56 — Is there much information on the carboniferous period?

25:39 — In the 1940s, people believed that a new ice age was approaching

26:51 — "Indeed, it has been concluded that compulsory population-control laws, even including laws requiring compulsory abortion, could be sustained under the existing Constitution if the population crisis became sufficiently severe to endanger the society."

A vitamin D deficiency disturbs many hormones, and can cause breast pain.” Ray Peat on breast pain while using progesterone (2018)

39:19 — "The effects of estrogen and progesterone are systemically opposed to each other—estrogen excites, progesterone calms, estrogen cools, progesterone heats, estrogen increases nitric oxide, progesterone lowers it, etc." Ray Peat (2017)
