Not in a disparaging way, but i am shocked when i read some of the logs and posts here about healing people are seeking or have found and it involves what seems like a chaotic splattering of experiments and supplements and symptoms and isolated variables. For those who say they have found healing with very extensive supplemental protocols, i wonder how long they find it. And should those still in the chaotic throes of healing here reconsider their approach? I hesitated to bring any of this up, but perhaps this is very important and something which is a cancer not only in this forum but also in the world that must be addressed. Please know that i could not be addressing this if i have not first addressed it in myself. If you do not feel like this applies to you then good.
Have Ray Peat and others illuminated the cell physiology just as documentarians or are they illuminating it to communicate a deeper message? The knowledge and information here is exhaustive - a hundred times over anything Peat and others have written. But where has it gotten us? Are we to be like those who are "ever learning but unable to come to the knowledge of the truth"? To me, the deeper message which kills the endless searching for health is this: keep cellular emergencies at bay. If the cell feels like it is in a resourced and peaceful environment, it can do its job without our interference.
How is anyone certain that food is not enough? Maybe they've misunderstood the cell all along and this is why they couldn't get food to get the ball rolling. Humans cannot treat symptoms. We must banish that thought. Only cells can. Dysfunction *proves* how functional the body is. Symptoms are not indication of a localized dysfunction, they are indicative of a *cellular* dysfunction. How do we overcome manifestations of dysfunction? By not focusing on it. Because it's a good thing. It's perfectly normal. It should encourage us that our body has the functionality to be dysfunctional. So if i have any manifestation of dysfunction at all - whether it's skin issues, or constipation issues, or libido problems, or anything else - all of these things are not something we have any power over. All of these things are nothing we have power over. The *cell* is the only thing which has power over these symptoms. So if we take that understanding and apply it to the healing process we are left with one huge reality: our one and only contribution to the healing process is to look out for the cell - to keep cellular emergencies at bay. If the cell feels like it is in a resourced and peaceful environment, it can do its job without our interference. How you get there will be different for everyone, but it's about each individual meeting the demands of their cell and creating a balanced environment so that cell feels confident.
If we take this approach to healing and actually believe it and live it out, we are being freed from false beliefs and doctrines about the body. If any of us consider ourselves students of Peat and true science of the body, then this is the only possible conclusion you can come to regarding healing. A generalization in this instance is very useful and necessary as there are so few with anomalies which don't fit into this context. When this approach is adopted and consistently lived by, the word "healing" becomes something more equivalent to "living" - it's not about attaining anything that we can see beyond the cell. Health is not something that you reach, it's something you have a limited responsibility over till the day you die.
I came into this forum already believing these things and for a while this has all been interesting to see different angles of research and new studies and areas i'd never thought about....but there is nothing new under the sun. Peat is not a revolutionary and neither are we. The cell is the revolutionary and always has been. Just because it may have taken us years to put it down onto paper or illuminated under microscopes, it's always been there all along doing what it was designed to do....and humans have always been here as well - recognizing the things that we always think are new things but are actually things people have understood since the beginning of time. Research doesn't lead to truth. Perception leads to truth.
It is difficult because the general false beliefs and doctrines of the body here (amidst all the valid studies) can start to invade your mind and after a while you lose the truth, you lose your first love.
