pboy said:wheat and pufas was banned?
Peat lives in Eugene, Oregon and in Mexico;
he was born probably in the 1930's and is alive now in 2015;
and he has numerous theories, especially about nutrition--
for instance, he has a theory that PUFA is bad for people.

I can't say I remember reading a post by a "wheatandpufas" or whatever.
What kinds of things was he posting about?
Wilfrid said:narouz, are you sure that Ray has never recommended the use of high omega 3 / PUFA food for specific conditions ?

He was Westside PUFAs on this forum.

I do remember, Wilfrid,
that in an interview
Peat talked about that Gershon diet (can't remember the exact name/spelling)
and how the high-PUFA oil used in that diet
(one of its variants, anyhow)
could be explained by the interpretation
that it might've been used as an intense laxative.
That is, the patient would drink maybe like 1/2 a cup of PUFA oil,
which would evacuate the digestive tract, cleaning it.
I believe Peat said the PUFA would cause contractions?
Peat said that would make sense in an anti-cancer diet
(or just a general health diet)
because used in that manner
none of the PUFA would be absorbed:
it would just cause the laxative/cleansing action
and the oil would exit the body along with whatever else.
Beyond that...scratchin' my head to think of any other Peat recommendations to eat PUFA...
Wilfrid said:Hi narouz,
I was thinking about his recommendation to eat ( for people with colitis, crohn's disease, inflammation, collagen diseases ect... ) sardines " as a safe protein source that shouldn't interfere with thyroid function " in his book " Nutrition for women".
He have surely changed his recommendation about it, though.
But at the time of " Nutrition for women" publishing, he was certainly aware that sardines do contains significant amount of omega 3 as well as some interesting level of PUFA. And, still, he thought that this fatty fish was beneficial for people with auto-immune diseases.
As for the Gerson diet, I'm pretty sure that Ray has a profound respect for the man and his therapy ( which did not include any vegetable oil at the time Gerson was still alive.). The problem arised with Gerson's daughter and her followers...

narouz said:Such_Saturation said:The focus on how this place is run has little scope outside of wanting an enjoyable forum to partake in. The thoughts of Ray Peat do not imply a place, or time, or theory. While this may be a forum about Ray Peat, it certainly is not a "Ray Peat Forum". There is not a community as much as there are perpetrators of a misunderstanding.
What there actually is, is a group of organisms (humanity) who are endowed with the ability to make this distinction, and who do so in different amounts. The fact that the choice of doing so might be contagious is another matter.
I'm gonna have to fisk you on this, my friend!

If you type Ray Peat Forum into Google you will arrive at
this very Ray Peat Forum.
I consider this proof positive that this is a Ray Peat Forum.
3.Such_Saturation said:What there actually is, is a group of organisms (humanity) who are endowed with the ability to make this distinction, and who do so in different amounts.
I will agree with you that this forum's membership is composed of human organisms.
But I can't go along with you that those human organisms
make the distinction between
a forum about Ray Peat
or
a "Ray Peat Forum."
See point #2 for elucidation.
4.Such_Saturation said:The fact that the choice of doing so might be contagious is another matter.
I do not agree that it is a "fact"
that us human organisms here on this website
have a choice in distinguishing between this being
a forum about Ray Peat
or
a Ray Peat forum.
There is no distinction.
Therefore there can be no choice available to distinguish such entities,
and there is no contagion because there is no choice to distinguish.
See #3 above for illumination.
In conclusion, I will offer this speculation:
You're stoned!
Again!!
Such_Saturation said:Narouz my friend, I think you're seeing a bit too much (or little?) into this. You also are a great connoisseur of tedious, drawn out debates. Did you by chance frequent a liberal arts institution?

Thank you, Amazon.
Etymology is cool.
Don't knock it before you try it.
Which thread was our friend pboy's post in?
That sounds fun.... :)
