    @Corngold said: I think he even mentioned the feeling of getting too much protein and feeling tired and lethargic. In my experience, the protein source can make a difference. I know people who feel energized on a meat-based diet, but I only feel lethargic when a good portion of my protein is coming from meat. I’m small at just a hair under 155 cm/5’1” and 45 kg/99 lb, and for roughly 5 years I averaged 140 g of protein daily from mostly raw dairy and had as much energy as I have on a low protein (50 g), fruit-based diet (think energizer bunny). However, on low protein, I lose a substantial amount of hair (going from a ponytail circumference of roughly 4 cm to 2 cm), muscle mass and bone density—I developed advanced osteoporosis in my late 20s on a low protein, fruit-based diet and reversed it with a high protein diet of mostly dairy. Though, it can be quite challenging, I agree with the importance of eating enough for our energy needs, even when SIBO is present. I have no doubt I would still be struggling with my health had I not made it a priority to eat an abundance of the few foods I tolerated when I had chronic SIBO and gastritis. I was living on mostly scallops, liters of fruit juice I made daily and coconut fat, until I was able to safely introduce a thyroid supplement (standardized NDT/WP Thyroid)—my SIBO was caused by an under-active thyroid—and resolve the last of my symptoms.

    First post here. I have been reading and learning a lot since I found this forum. This topic helped me a lot. Just want to state that I’m very grateful for Dr. Ray Peat's work and for this community for perpetuating his work. Thanks. https://bioenergetic.forum/topic/149/peaty-migraine-remedies/21 My background: I have suffered from migraines for the past 11 years, with attacks increasing in frequency and severity over time. Historically, milk was a strong trigger (I wasn't intolerant earlier). I went to several doctors and it was always the same: run blood tests, abdominal ultrasound, skull x-rays, and all results were normal. Doctors gave me random advice: drink more water, avoid triggers, eliminate all dairy, try these antidepressants (which I refused). But migraines kept increasing in pain and frequency to one or two crises per week.In 2022, I made some progress after following an 'anti-migraine' diet on a book, by completely removing seed oils (unfortunately, I removed most of the sugar too, though I kept a bit of honey, fruits, and nuts). However, I still had about one episode per month on average, which drained my energy, not to mention the awful pain. But I had a very strict diet, avoiding lots of things, which reduced my quality of life. After reading a study about the positive effects of low-dose aspirin on Migraines, I tried taking 100mg daily since last December. The results have been incredible—only 4 episodes of migraine, the best I’ve felt in 11 years—and milk stopped triggering migraines entirely (and many other triggers are gone, plus the pain was less intense). Looking into why aspirin worked so well for me led me to Dr. Ray Peat's work, and I'm glad I found this forum. 3 weeks ago I started measuring my body temperature, and it's always below 36.4°C (on average 36°C). While I no longer get migraines, I’m trying to reintroduce milk, but it still caused me discomfort. Yesterday, for the first time, I didn’t have any discomfort with milk. I’m also eating lots of honey and Rapadura (brown sugar), a daily carrot, and I also tried 4mg of Cypro once per week (good results, but will try a smaller dosage like 2mg). I am now avoiding not only seed oils but also nuts or anything else with PUFAs. I feel like I'm improving, haven’t had a migraine since I started peating, and I feel warmer and with more energy, but my temperature when waking up is still below 36.4°C—maybe it will take more time. I am supplementing Selenium and thinking of adding myo-inositol to support the thyroid. Still have doubts, but I must say that for the first time, I see the light at the end of the tunnel—I’m very happy. I’m very grateful for Dr. Ray Peat's work and for this community for perpetuating his work. Thanks.

    @ThinPicking , Definitely. But I would like to talk with the administrator.

    I bought an early version of this machine about 10 years ago. I'm glad I did. It was a more functional version than ita current version. I could leave the unit on the whole night as I slept and breath in carbogen maxed out at 10% CO2. It was safe to use it this way. When my ecf is acidic, it can supplement CO2 to my bo blood to such extent that it will enable better tissue oxygenation and jumpstart the change from glycolytic energy production to mitochondrial energy production when the limiting reagent or substrate is oxygen. Once the body can transition into and maintain mitochondrial energy production, I eventually enable endogenous production of CO2 and don't have to use the machine anymore. But the current version of rhe machine only allows for a maximum of 15 minutes per session. It is crippled, but still helpful. But I can get more supplemental CO2 by taking bicarbonate auch as baking soda and magnesium bicarbonate. And drinking carbonated water. It's unfortunate that Steve, the manufacturer, had to cripple the machine to protect himself from the vagaries of the law. I bought my unit knowing fully well future versions were going to be crippled, as Steve had to sell his early units in a sale, but made clear that future units wouls be crippled in order for him to avoid potential lawsuits. The unit's ability to give me enough supplemental CO2 in orser to restore mitochondrial respiration made my recovery from a nasty fever, the worst I have ever had, which involved aspergillosis, and which would otherwise have landed me into an ER and ICU, was to say the least very helpful. I practically gave the body a way to heal itself and it did. Simply correcting the acid-base balance and restoring the supply of CO2 to enable mitochondrial respiration gave me a path to recovery. I had ample reservea in my body, out of following a Peaty lifestyle, that it was easy to simply provide a limiting substrate, oxygen, towards my recovery. With the help of CO2.
