Instant coffee has been a genuine life saver for me as someone who's had constipation issues since I was a teen. Been the most consistent way to keep intestinal traffic running, or even break >1 bowel movement/day which is nearly impossible to achieve.
People think it's always about spanking or not spanking, when from my experience working with kids with behavioral disorders their parents are always just permissive until they're not and start hitting them out of frustration. Like yeah it stops it but there's nothing put back into the children to prevent it from happening next time.
Children have no access to complex problem solving until you teach them, and really young children have very slow memory transfer so it does in fact take "telling them 100 times" until they get it.
We had a "Stop. Observe. Think. Resolve"
and it works with kids who are way too old throwing a screaming tantrum because they can't open something themselves. Children need to learn there is nothing magic about you as an adult other than you're bigger and stronger, and yeah you can show that with force, but problem solving works long term.
Behavior in children nearly always boils down to trying to get something, or trying to avoid something. They pay attention to what works, and you have trained them at every step.
Looking up menstrual problems out of mere curiosity and realizing female peaters make better stealth foids than most other internet demographics I've interacted with.
Ray Peat was a bleeding heart, but yet he never showed the usual theatrics and waterworks when met with a person who was suffering, suiсidal, etc. He wasn't emotionally numb, nor aloof towards them. I think that alone is proof of the energy=empathy idea.
I haven't had a panic attack or heart palpitations since I got baptized. I'm very willing to say this is proof of spiritual phenomena, but at the same time it also reinforces the idea that no amount of supplementation will overcome a mind that is resolved to worry.
The priest and Tucker both make a subtle but fundamental error here. By the priest’s own recounting, the demon told him that his power over the woman was from “pop” (soda). But in the United States, this isn’t made with sugar, it is made with corn syrup. Corn does not occur in nature. The Olmec bred it from a grass called teosinte in one of the most radical and unexplained transformations in the history of agriculture. The plant barely resembles its ancestor. Mainstream archaeobotanists still struggle to fully account for how it happened as fast as it did but there is a school of thought that suggests the Olmec obtained the knowledge to do this by communing with entities contacted through psychedelic rituals involving human sacrifice. Corn deities figure prominently in the religion of the Olmec, the Maya, the Aztec, and other groups in the Americas. Its derivatives are now in virtually every processed food product in America. When you consume it, you are partaking in it. It’s even in your gas tank thanks to the federal government’s ethanol subsidies and fuel mandate. When your car burns it, it leaves a cloud of the stuff lingering in the air like cursed incense.
Caller: I was born with glass bones and paper skin. Every morning, I break my legs, and every afternoon, break my arms. At night, I lie awake in agony until my heart attacks put me to sleep.
Dr Peat: Have you um...uh checked your vitamin D level
I also get this painful inflammation in my right lung (also middle/upper back) that makes me physically incapable of taking deep breaths. Goes away when I take 2-3 bowel movements instead of 1.
