Two minutes of hard over-breathing already increases leakage from the blood into the lungs, and raises serotonin and histamine. The Buteyko method trains quieter nasal breathing and smaller volumes, with a mild hunger for air, so more carbon dioxide stays in the blood and lungs. After a normal exhale, the control pause is how long you can wait without strain. Longer pauses mark higher CO2 tolerance. Widget link below.

Ray Peat started calling it "winter sickness" in 1966. Students arriving in rainy Eugene developed PMS, arthritis or colitis in their first winter. His explanation was: "The absence of bright light would create a progesterone deficiency, and would leave estrogen and prolactin unopposed." Your hormones run on day length, same as a sparrow's.

Cried two tears, first time in probably 16 years. I was cleaning the transcript of the "Remembering Ray Peat" call-in show. Trebbie called in and talked so lovingly about Ray that I started thinking this is as close as a human can get to acting in God's image, in his generosity. "If I could just help one more person, that keeps me going." That part hit me hard. I kept it together until I heard Danny Roddy choke up. Always thought I was just sturdy. Turns out I was just numb.

Same wiki, without the decoration. lite.wikipeatia.org is WikiPeatia stripped down to text and citations, like the old wikis. No animations, dynamic features or extras, lightweight, loads fast on old phones and bad connections. For the ones who are here just to study.

Rats that went through a stress they couldn't escape stopped trying to escape, even after a way out opened up. Seligman called it learned helplessness in 1967. What is often overlooked, blood T3 fell, and giving thyroid hormone before the stress prevented it. Ray Peat also noted the rats could be "immunized" by first letting them succeed at a similar task. Helplessness shows up in the body's chemistry, and small victories guard against it. Reach out, lot of people just need a small push or win. Full article below.

In 1937 Nature rejected Hans Krebs's paper on the citric acid cycle, the central loop of cell metabolism. A small journal printed it within two months, and it won him the 1953 Nobel Prize. The bias shows up in controlled tests. When a university randomly assigned grant proposals to expert reviewers, the most novel proposals got lower scores. Fields protect their core theory. Kuhn called it normal science: results that don't fit get set aside until they pile up. Lakatos described a hard core that followers never give up, guarded by helper hypotheses that get patched every time a test fails. The ideas that won anyway won with new experiments: Semmelweis cut childbed fever deaths from 11% to 1.3% with hand washing in 1847, then died in an asylum years before germ theory explained why it worked. Mitchell's chemiosmosis had no experimental support in 1961 and took 15 years to be accepted, then a Nobel. Marshall drank H. pylori to prove it causes gastritis, and got the Nobel in 2005. Being rejected doesn't make an idea right. Checking the original evidence is how you find out which ones were. Full Science article in the reply.

WikiPeatia Start - beginner friendly. A lot of people told me the entry bar is too high if you have no prior knowledge. Hundreds of articles and a nine-step roadmap. When people don't know what to do, they'd rather do nothing than pick the wrong thing and fail. So I built a easier entry point. 7 short pages. One idea, then one action, and you can stop after either. Breakfast. Five grocery-store items. Two numbers to check (temperature and pulse), kept in your browser, no account. Spoon-fed, impossible to mess up. The full wiki waits for later. Link below

Thank you for 8k! As winter approaches, cultivate eternal summer within. The Photo gallery is open for visitors. Special thanks to @seansphotos for the wonderful shots.

Hospitals hand out pure oxygen to struggling patients which lowers the oxygen reaching tissues. Rarefied mountain air, or more CO₂, oxygenates and energizes them. Animals kept at high altitude for a few months came back with roughly twice as many mitochondria permanently.

Enviromental exposure map. Zoom to your town and check the fluoridated-water share in your county, PFAS levels in local tap water systems, your EPA radon zone, and glyphosate and atrazine use. Plus 1,840 Superfund sites, operating nuclear reactors, high-voltage lines and more.

Times Square sparrows mate all winter under the streetlights. Long daylength keeps fertility going. Dark winters leave estrogen, prolactin unopposed. Bright artificial light stretches the photoperiod the same way. Fall and winter evenings until bedtime. Full article below.
