Hello, I am 27 and found the forum through typing Ray Peat in google. I have been currently Peating for 4.5 months. I will say my mentor who is a specialist in Peatarian teachings had been preaching these ideals for years and I always doubted his vision. It was this past March 2014 that I finally hit rock bottom. I've had an excessive urination issue for 3 years...50 times a day at the highest and 30 times a night at the highest.
Other symptoms:
chronic fatigue
depression
insomnia
poor memory
inability to focus
terrible ADD
...the list goes on
The main issue that I believe is causing a domino effect is the excessive urination at night. I have not slept a whole night since I was a child without waking up.
Childhood Diet:
Pizza, soda, candy, fast food, etc... all that is processed...virtually no fruits, veges, grassfed meat or dairy.
20s Diet:
Paleo low carb/high protein/high fat/warrior diet....this is what put me over the edge.
Too much meat, veges, fish oil ,nuts/seeds, fasting, too much coffee, and no glucose/fructose whatsoever.
Current Diet:
Gelatin, shrimp, grassfed milk, cheese, butter, OJ, coconut oil, tropical fruits, potatoes, carrots, eggs, and ice cream...no more coffee.
2 epsom salt baths a day under red light.
My urination is about 2 times a night now but I am still long ways away from seeing the light.
I also just had 2 mercury crowns, 2 mercury fillings and 1 root canal removed. So as you can see everything most likely will get darker before it gets lighter.
These are all just the basics of where I am, there is still lots more to my agenda but I feel this will give everyone a heads up.
2 big questions:
1. Any and all ideas to help with my urination issue would be greatly apppreciated! I am so exhausted and ready to get over this...has anyone else out there dealt with this issue? If so please chime in!
2. I am live in St. Louis during the summer and Chicago during the winter...are there any Peatarians in these areas? It be nice to have people in the area that I can relate to.
And lastly, the worst part about Peating is the anxiety/anticipation of the unknowable. I 100% believe that this way of life will bring me happiness. Just can't wait till I see the light at the end of the tunnel.
I look forward to meeting everyone on this forum and sharing this quest for truth health and well being.
