The developer of azidothymidine (AZT), Jerome Horwitz, described it as “so worthless” he didn’t think it was even worth patenting.

AZT is a DNA chain terminator. It’s like chemo, but unlike chemo, AZT was given to patients for years.

When they died of AZT, they died of “AIDS”. “AIDS” isn’t one thing. It’s a cluster of about 30 existing illnesses, many of which are metabolic in nature.

AIDS was a medical rebranding. When AIDS cases trended downward in the ‘90s, they changed the criteria and doubled cases overnight. Image

That’s a feature, not a bug.

There are exactly 0 Phase 3 double-blind vaccinated-unvaccinated (VU) RCTs for CDC-recommended childhood vaccines.

They will never be conducted. Double-blind is unethical because parents allowing the study would have strong opinions on which group their kids are sorted into.

Doubly unethical because we pre-suppose vaccines saves lives.

This convenient dilemma allows for only objectively worse epidemiological studies.

“Calories in, calories out.”

You’ve surely heard this phrase if you’ve spent any time in the health space. You’ve probably heard it if you’ve spent no time in the health space. This oversimplification of the body’s divine complexity is a relic of outdated nutritional pop-science, and it’s time for it to be thoroughly debunked.

Preamble

I would never outright deny CICO—it can certainly be a useful tool in someone’s weight loss journey. My issue with CICO is the absolutism and rigidity in failing to acknowledge how much it can vary.

When an adult is struggling to lose weight despite eating less food than is recommended for their height, they’re told either “you’re counting wrong” or “just eat less”. What is seldom considered is whether or not that person has a metabolic problem. As we will see, this is very often the case.

What you eat matters just as much as how much you eat.[1] The goal is to increase basal metabolic rate—or “calories out”—not to perpetually decrease “calories in”.

Overview

● Metabolic rate has been decreasing for over a century[2][3]
● Average body temperature has been decreasing for over a century[4]
● Daily energy expenditure has declined over the past 3 decades due to decreased basal metabolic rate—not reduced activity[5]
● We consumed more food in the past yet we were thinner[6][7][8]
● Different macronutrients yield different amounts of ATP
● Different macronutrient ratios impact hormonal profile, which in turn influences both metabolic rate and body composition[9][10]
● We can ballpark “calories in”, but we can’t definitively know what happens between that and “calories out” without understanding all the metabolic pathway variance that can occur along the way
● Counting calories is useful only as a gauge of current basal metabolic rate, but it must be understood that this is subject to change
● Excessive caloric restriction slows metabolism and makes fat gain more likely upon return to maintenance[11]
● Some people would benefit from simply eating less while others would be much better served focusing on increasing basal metabolic rate with intentional daily choicesImage CICO and thermodynamics

“We are currently expending about 220 calories per day less for males and 122 calories per day less for females than people of our age and body composition were in the late 1980s. These changes are sufficient to explain the obesity epidemic in the USA.”[12]
—John Speakman (@johnspeakman4), biologist

CICO absolutists will say that weight loss and gain come down to “thermodynamics”, yet the graphs of body temperature and basal metabolic rate (BMR) steadily decreasing every decade seem to be lost on them.

According to a study in Metabolism Journal, a drop in body temperature of one degree Celsius is equal to a 10-13% reduction in metabolic rate.

Thermodynamics is not reducible to elementary math. In fact, as we’ll see, “a calorie is a calorie”—and CICO, by extension—violates the second law of thermodynamics because of variances in metabolic efficiency.Image

The more time I’ve had to sit with the stalemate outcome of the CICO/BMR debate, the more I see it as indicative of the differences in how we see health, sickness and the human body overall. Ray’s entire body of work opposed the rate of living theory and genetic determinism: the idea that we have a predetermined amount of heart beats, cell divisions, that we’re destined for illnesses no matter what we do between birth and a diagnosis.

This post may as well have been made in a lab for me personally.

Let's debunk it point by point. 1. "Sudden proliferance of hypothyroidism—a real but extremely rare condition—"

Hypothyroidism used to be diagnosed by symptoms and had an estimated prevalence of 40% in the '40s and '50s--when we were skinny.

That didn't change because we got healthier--in fact we're sicker by almost every metric now. That changed because of a faulty test called the PBI test, and was amplified by pharmaceutical companies when Levothyroxine (T4 monotherapy) became the popular thyroid supplement for those "rare" hypothyroid patients.

After it was found that the PBI test was flawed in the '60s, this pernicious idea that "only 5% of people are hypothyroid" never changed. In fact, our current thyroid labs still retroactively deem hypothyoid people "normal" by widening the ranges to fit this erroneous PBI-based percentage.

As Ray Peat points out, if you took any other blood biomarker and gave it as wide a range as we give TSH (an indicator of thyroid status), you'd have "normal" blood sugar levels ranging from the level at which we see convulsion and death into the low-diabetic range... and we'd call that "normal". We'd have the low cholesterol ranges associated with cancer and strokes or levels as high as 400 mg... and we'd call that "normal" too.

Not only this, but blood biomarkers are just a small glimpse into what's going on in the body--they fail to indicate what's happening at the cellular or tissue level. Making simple bloodwork the end-all-be-all with anything regarding health is incredibly myopic and naive.Image

People ab so lutely flip out when you tell them fasting is bad for them. Sunk-cost fallacy on display. “You mean I suffered for nothing?!” Lol “Kills cancer”
The shift away from glucose oxidation to fat oxidation that comes with fasting creates a precancerous “Warburg-Randle cycle” as coined by @haidut.

“Autophagy”
Being euthyroid means more autophagy. Fasting (starving) means non-specific autophagy and low metabolism.

1) Metabolic rate is decreasing.

2) Average body temp is decreasing.

3) In ‘41, 2500 cal were recommended for *sedentary* 150 lb men. 3000 cal were recommended for moderately active.

4) We consumed more sugar in 2000, yet we were thinner.

It’s a metabolic problem.

Thiamine, or vitamin B1, is often reduced to its status as “the carb-burner” B vitamin, but it is so much more.

This B vitamin is a cofactor in several key metabolic processes relating to brain function, heart and circulation, nerve signal transmission, and digestion. It has also been shown to have non-coenzyme effects, such as regulation of other enzymes, as well as antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

1. Glycolysis
2. Pyruvate oxidation✧
3. The Krebs cycle✧
4. Electron transport chain
✧these are thiamine-dependent

Step 1 is anaerobic, meaning it occurs without oxygen. Steps 2-4 are aerobic, meaning they need oxygen to work.

The vast majority of ATP is produced in the electron transport chain, with products of the Krebs cycle. If a single step is blocked, which is what happens when there's not enough thiamine, then metabolism falls back to an inefficient, primordial, and 𝗽𝗿𝗲-𝗼𝘅𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 mode of energy production.

Thiamine (and magnesium) are needed for an enzyme called pyruvate dehydrogenase✧ (PDH). PDH is what makes acetyl coenzyme A (acetyl CoA). Without acetyl CoA, there is no entry into the Krebs cycle.

Thiamine is also needed for alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase✧ (α-KGDH), which is needed to keep the Krebs cycle running.

Posts like this get made daily and I think of people in my DMs suffering with debilitating chronic illnesses while eating perfect diets. Dead giveaway of someone who’s never had a complex problem to solve. Maybe metronidazole made you deficient in thiamine which destroyed metabolism by down-regulating PDH and α-KGDH.

Maybe your doctor put you on accutane and tetracyclines which completely destroyed your microbiome, ability to deactivate cortisol, and ability to make bile acids.

We went from diagnosing 30-40% of Americans as hypothyroid in the ‘40s to only 1-5% now because of an inaccurate test.

We also went from prescribing T3:T4 in a 1:4 ratio to prescribing isolated synthetic T4.

I think it’s pretty apparent that metabolic health has only declined since the ‘40s, so it should be clear that 1-5% figure is wrong.

Through cellular respiration, we take one molecule of glucose and end up with some CO2, some water, and a best-case scenario of 38 molecules of ATP—the energy currency of the mitochondria. Some textbooks say 36, but the key takeaway is that the majority is produced at the end, which is why it’s crucial we avoid bottlenecks in the process.

As the name “respiration” implies, oxygen is crucial to every step after anaerobic glycolysis. These processes involve the transfer of oxygen atoms, hydrogen atoms, and electrons, known as “reduction-oxidation” processes, or more simply, “redox”.

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in your body, it makes up about 2% of your body weight. It prefers to be outside your cells rather than inside, by a factor of 20,000 - 100,000.

Calcium doesn’t flow freely in and out of cells, instead it’s tightly regulated. This tight regulation of calcium is what EMFs impair.

𝗘𝗠𝗙𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗩𝗚𝗖𝗖𝘀, 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗰𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝘄𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘂𝗹𝗮𝗿 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗰𝗶𝘂𝗺 𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝘅𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀.

When the cell is not properly energized, it swells to absorb water from its surroundings. Potassium and magnesium are flushed out as the cell absorbs calcium and sodium.

Studies have shown that when calcium-channel blocking drugs were used, damage from EMF was greatly reduced.

When excess calcium rushes into your cells, it leads to oxidative stress. This intracellular calcium leads to the production of nitric oxide and superoxide. In appropriate amounts, these are relatively benign, but when produced excessively (such as in the presence of EMFs), they combine to form 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗼𝘅𝘆𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲.

Peroxynitrite was only discovered in 1991, meaning many practicing doctors were not taught about it in school. That’s a problem, because peroxynitrite can damage cell membranes[¹], proteins[²], mitochondria[³], stem cells[⁴] and DNA[⁵]. Just a tenfold increase in nitric oxide and superoxide results in a hundredfold increase in peroxynitrite[⁶]. This may explain why electrical workers were shown to have decreased bone density after longterm EMF exposure[⁷].Image
Image
“Increased intracellular calcium, in association with excess nitric oxide and excitatory amino acids, is involved in several neurodegenerative diseases, including ALS, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington’s chorea, and epilepsy. Magnesium, nicotine, progesterone, and many other substances are known to protect against excitotoxic calcium overload, but there is no coherent effort in the health professions to make rational use of the available knowledge.”

Peat on T4/TSH blood tests:

“If you took any other biological indicator and gave it such a wide range, you would have, for example, blood sugar ranging from the level at which it causes convulsions and death up into the low-diabetic range and you would call all of those normal.” “Or cholesterol ranging from … the low cholesterol that is associated with cancer and strokes up into the very high … three or four hundred mg of cholesterol.
