is he older than peat?

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the death of the beloved Jay Kordich, aka the Juiceman. Less than an hour ago his Facebook page (listed below) posted about his death at the age of 93.

Jay Kordich, The Juiceman, Dead at 93, Rest in Peace

Strengthen the blood vessels in your brain, and get rid of fungal infections. Got it. Doubling up on the peels.

Better than smelling like sulfur for two days like with the flowers...

keep in mind a fact about Calcium that I'm quoting from Ray Peat:

"If cellular energy production is low, as in hypothyroidism, cells tend to lose their magnesium very easily, shifting the balance toward the lower energy molecule, ADP, with the release of phosphate. ADP complexes with calcium, rather than magnesium, increasing the cells calcium content."

when you're drinking a lot of orange juice, I suspect a dilution of the nutrients and that shall lead to a raise in TSH. I've discussed that somewhere else recently in this forum.
I've always been told I "dont drink enough water" yet no matter what diet I try my TSH stayed around 1 to 1.5. I start drinking a lot of freshly squeezed juices and voila: TSH, triglycerides and LDL go up. I see people who drink large amounts of water and they've never really impressed me with their thyroid numbers. I think this excess water also disrupts the Na/K balance.

It is clear to me that eating ONE orange and a bit of its peel is a much better nutrition than drinking the (pasteurized?) juice from the subsidized food industry where it's claimed that TWENTY+ oranges are in one bottle as if that were somehow a good thing.

I got flamed in another thread where the OP has sky high triglycerides and drinks obviously way too many fluids. Hypothyroidism is a serious issue that leads to calcification.

So yes, oranges have a lot of calcium and great properties. It shouldn't lead to people drinking large amounts of it.

I am taking a couple of these with my orange juice (I'm squeezing local oranges). I think it helps.

Good thread, thank you...yes, Kordich was an inspiration too.

Ray's said that he drank up to a gallon of OJ a day. I think he's used to frozen canned concentrate too. So...

the chinese, mostly southern chinese, use not orange but tangerine peel as a medicinal herb, most notably to improve both stomach and lung function. many important formulas contain it. it is also used in soups.

Is that just due to availability or because regular orange doesn't have the medicinal properties?

I personally blend whole (peel and everything) navel oranges and notice pretty incredible effects in terms of lowering endotoxin and estrogen.

likely it is because it is more powerful than orange peel for achieving the desired effect, and not due to availability.
