Q: So after reading this study done on crayfish saying that they have the ability to regrow new eye after it has been lost, as well as frog embryos, it made me wonder if humans can have the same regrowth potential?

Q :
Hello Mr. Peat,
I've been worrying about my money on my bank account, it seems to be less safe then ever .
I know you once said that investing money in chickens ,farm animals or farms would be good .
But if that isn't on option, for whatever reason , do you think investing in physical gold or silver is an okay alternative?
Thank you for your continuous answers.
A: Yes, those are durable and portable, and will always have some value.

Q: Hi Ray,
could you share your insights about denis noble? do you think it is good material?
If you can recommend someone or a good book to learn more about soil biology i would greatly appreciate it. Have you written about soil biology in one of your newsletters?
Is peak phosphorus really a thing or just "club of rome" fearmongering as usual.
A: His ideas on biological causation are very important. Too much phosphorus in fresh water is a problem, but eventually brown kelp and plankton will be practical sources of phosphorus for fertilizer.
Revealing the Ocean’s Hidden Fertilizer
May 14, 2015
Phosphorus is one of the most common substances on Earth. An essential nutrient for every living organism—humans require approximately 700 milligrams per day—we are rarely concerned about consuming enough of it because it is present in most of the foods we eat. Despite its ubiquity and living organisms’ utter dependence on it, we know surprisingly little about how it moves, or cycles, through the ocean environment.
Scientists studying the phosphorus cycle in the ocean knew that it was absorbed by plants and animals, and released back to seawater in the form of phosphate as they decay and die. Over the last 10 years, a growing body of research has hinted that phosphorus was being transformed by microbes in the ocean in ways that remained a mystery.
A new study by a research team from the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) and Columbia University reveals for the first time a marine phosphorus cycle that is much more complex than previously thought. The work also highlights the important but previously hidden role that some microbial communities play in using and breaking down forms of this essential element.
The paper is published May 15, 2015, in the journal Science.
“This is an exciting new discovery that closes a fundamental knowledge gap in our understanding of the marine phosphorus cycle,” says the study’s lead author Ben Van Mooy, a biochemist at WHOI.
Much like phosphorus-based fertilizers boost the growth of plants on land, phosphorus in the ocean promotes the production of microbes and tiny marine plants called phytoplankton, which compose the base of the marine food chain. It’s been unclear exactly how phytoplankton are using the most abundant forms of phosphorus found in the ocean—phosphates and a strange form of phosphorus called phosphonates.
“Phosphonates have always been a huge mystery,” Van Mooy says. “No one’s been able to figure out exactly what they are, and more importantly, if they’re made and consumed quickly by microbes, or if they’re just lying around in the ocean.”
To find out more about these mysterious phosphonates and how microbes metabolize them, the researchers took samples of microbes like phytoplankton from seawater obtained at a series of stations during a cruise from Bermuda to Barbados in the summer of 2014. They added phosphate to the samples so that they could see the microbes in action.
The research team utilized ion chromatography on board the ship for water chemistry analyses, which allowed them to observe how quickly the microbes reacted to the added phosphate in the seawater.
“The ion chromatograph (IC) separates out the different families of molecules,” explains Van Mooy. “We added radioactive phosphate and then isolated the phosphonate to see if they became radioactive too. It’s the radioactive technique that let us see how fast they transform phosphate to phosphonate.”
They saw that about five percent of the phosphate in the shallow water samples were taken up by the microbes and changed to phosphonates. In the deeper water samples, which were taken at depths of 40 and 150 meters (131 feet and 492 feet), about 15 to 20 percent of the phosphates were reduced to phosphonates.
“Although evidence of the cycling of phosphonates has been mounting for nearly a decade, these results show for the first time that microbes are producing phosphonates in the ocean, and that it is happening very quickly,” says coauthor Sonya Dyhrman, an associate professor in the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Columbia University. “An exciting aspect of this study was the application of the IC method at sea. In near real time, we could tell that the phosphate we added was being transformed to phosphonate, and everyone on the ship got to share in this moment and the process of discovery.”
A better understanding of phosphorus cycling in the oceans is important since it impacts the marine food chain and, therefore, the ability of the oceans to absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide. The researchers say that solving the mystery about phosphonates also reinforces the need to identify the full suite of phosphorus biochemicals being produced and metabolized by marine microbes and what physiological roles they serve for these cells.
“Such work will help us further resolve the complexities of how this critical element is cycled in the ocean,” Dyhrman adds.
“A reason to be excited about the findings of this elegant study is in the paper’s last sentence: ‘the environmental, ecological, and evolutionary controls . . . remain completely unknown.’ There’s still a lot we don’t know about the sea,” says Don Rice, program director in the National Science Foundation’s Division of Ocean Sciences, which funded the research.
The work was also supported by grants from the Simons Foundation.

University of Southampton graduate student Despo Polyviou (left) and Columbia University postdoctoral investigator Monica Rouco, place the bottles in a large container that is designed to mimic the light and temperature of the surface ocean. The container also ensure that the bottles, and the radioactivity they contain, never fall into the ocean.

Q:
I notice when I wear a cap or any type of headwear I get a great boost in temps/metabolism and feel serotonin lower a lot - I feel a lot more calm.
Does head insulation and increasing temperature for the brain provide a good boost in metabolism ? I was curious why I never see you in headwear or if this was correct
A:
I wear a hat when I’m in a cold place, but generally my thick hair has been enough. Keeping the brain temperature up is extremely important, especially for restful sleep. It’s natural for the forehead to be a little cooler than the rear parts of the brain. In the winter I keep a high-watt bulb over my work area, shining on my head.

Q:
I was curious to know if you had any thoughts on ghosts and ghosts stories ? Sometimes I think that ghosts are not real and the stories are from people with high serotonin who may visualize things but there seem to be many stories
- do you personally believe in ghosts or have a take on it ?
A:
A physical chemisst, John O’Meara Bockris, compiled a collection of well documented stories (The New Paradigm); I think it’s likely that interaction among the living can account for what appear to be actions of ghosts—usually.

Q: "Do you think it's good if someone wants to increase liver health / lean out the liver ?"
A: "No"
Q:" Because you think it's not effective or not safe ?"
A:"I don’t think it’s safe, including for the liver."
Q:"Why do you think so ?"
A:"Changes of androgen receptors."
Q:"Interesting you mention that. I've seen one in-vitro study on it in the context of prostate cancer.
How is this different to the studies on vitamin E (succinate) inhibiting the androgen receptor?
I remember you telling me that those kind of in-vitro studies don't really reflect what is going on inside of a human. "

Q:"Hello Mr. Peat,
Do you personally think wearing gold or keeping it close to your body has any effect on a person , whether its metabolically or spiritually ?
I have recently purchased a gold coin. And I notice ,even when the gold is wrapped in plastic, I get a boost in metabolic function .
It resembles taking progesterone for me. I get softer hair and skin, feeling less stressed , less agitated and my clarity of mind is increased.
Could it be that the gold has a morphohegenetic field around it that ,when close to the body, helps the body to produce progesterone (and other youth steroids) ?
Thank you !
A:"I think the experiences of training dogs to find hidden or buried gold—indicating that they could “smell” it even when no atoms could be reaching them, show that it has biologically detectable fields.
Q:"Do you know anything about the relationship between gold and progesterone?
A:"no"

Q: "Dear Dr. Raymond Peat,
I was not specifically asking if they are safe to wear, but rather, if copper bracelets might actually be beneficial in terms of its electric morphogenesis or simply just absorption through the skin.
Maybe a Brass (5% Zinc) bracelet would be of interest, too?"
A: "A copper bracelet does release enough copper to be absorbed in a nutritionally useful quantity."
Q: "Does the copper differ from "organic copper" found in e.g. milk? Does it matter or can the body produce enzymes to deal with that?"
A:"With very small amounts there’s not much difference."

Q: What are your thoughts on the treatment of this condition and what nutritional changes would you recommend? Would salt restriction be helpful?
A: I think salt restriction is usually harmful. It’s important to avoid deficiencies of vitamin D, magnesium, calcium, selenium and thyroid hormone.

Gaps between meals
Me: Do you think it's helpful to leave a few hours between meals, to let food digest? I think I might find benefit from spacing my meals 3 hours apart or so, rather than grazing all day long.
Dr. Peat: I think the distinct meal times help the intestine to establish a regular rhythm.

Hello Mr. Peat
It’s well know that thyroid can lower high cholesterol, but I’ve also heard of those with low cholesterol taking thyroid and it normalizing their cholesterol levels. Can you describe how this process works? Something along the lines of the cholesterol enzyme being dependent on thyroid?
RP: Glucose metabolism provides the (acetate) substance for making cholesterol, and thyroid hormone is a basic regulator of glucose metabolism—in an extremely stressed system, cholesterol synthesis will be limited.
