@BearWithMe said in Safe laxative when taking blood thinners, diuretics and blood pressure medications?:

Vitamin C is contraindicated with blood thinners I think

Yes, indeed with high dose. in once. Would be more secure to limit it if another solution is possible.
Can you take vitamin C with blood thinners?
Warfarin (Coumadin) -- There have been rare reports of vitamin C interfering with the effectiveness of this blood thinning medication. In recent follow-up studies, no effect was found with doses of vitamin C up to 1,000 mg per day.

@wester130 It just never ceases to amaze me the endless reports of "no side effects known", and "no harm", yet I always get sides. I'm not certain if they're being honest, yet short-sighted, i.e., they haven't done extensive and objective studies, or if they know what they say lacks proper study but they just say it so they can move forward with their ideas and career; or, if I'm just the odd ball that can't take anything without sides?

I'm just thinking out loud here with these rhetorical questions.

@Insr said in Mercola/Strong Sista and Alan Christianson on excess Iodine:

For the record, iodine is in excess on a Peaty diet, only because modern cows and chickens get iodine supplements which make the milk and eggs too high in iodine. It wouldn't be a problem naturally.

that is exactly what they say in the video.

I was concerned about my Iodine intake since I do not drink milk regularly, but it looks like I'll be just fine

@Ecstatic_Hamster do you wear the tape everyday?

Pro progesterone effects...

These data suggest that cinnamaldehyde selectively induced progesterone production and inhibited production of testosterone and dehydroepiandrosterone in human adrenal cells.

Also, to bypass any possible heavy metal contaminants maybe the use of cinnamon essential oil could work. Eg, 1 drop in food/drink etc.

Cinnamaldehyde is an aldehyde found in cinnamon bark in high concentrations. It's used as a flavor and medicine. Cinnamon bark is usually used medicinally in doses of 1-6 grams orally. 6 grams of cinnamon can contain from to 42 to 189 mg cinnamaldehyde. Cinnamon contains approximately 1 to 3.5 percent essential oil. The essential oil is approximately 70 to 90 percent cinnamaldehyde.

@16charactersitis I have read many times that one should speak from the stomach. (It hasn't helped me much when speaking with friends or in public, it only helped when speaking in isolation.) Is this any different from trying to speak from the chest?

Replying to the second part, I feel that constantly being self-aware can disrupt the verbal recall and fluency of speech. These qualities usually come naturally when one is relaxed or in his flow state. Excessive self awareness might lead to stuttering, overthinking, social anxiety etc . In other words, what I’m trying to convey is: let the unconscious mind take control.

@TemetNosce how did you even get that stuff ?

@Alomongerpete said in Glucose Loading Protocol:

What's the purpose of this protocol? Expected benefits?

Reply

This protocol gets glucose to the brain, even for insulin resistant or metabolically challenged people, and gets the brain functioning better. This can result in the healing of brain fog, mental illness, and even other physical challenges that might be present because of less than optimal brain function.

@slow-learner wow that is a interesting phenomenon Ive heard of ssris , accutane and lions mane having permanent changes on peoples gene expression but I doubt methylblue could do that.
Also finasteride. i.e PSSD, PFAS.

@A-Former-User said in Metabolism: sloth to a dopaminergic child:

Holy shit I think I'm about to make it to a healthy metabolism... I'm almost there... Just waiting for my grass fed livers next week

I never noticed much energy surplus from liver, though I like it. Maybe the organic is better. I think good seafood and shellfish is 100% energizing; citrus and other fruits, potatoes. Frozen shrimp is probably one of the best and cheapest shellfish even with whatever heavy metals and contamination is present. It usually instantly gives me energy.
Spanish Shrimp:
fry garlic in butter, add shrimp, salt and pepper.
add parsley, add lemon juice. top with paprika when finished.

Ray Peat’s response to my question (https://www.bioenergetic.life/clips/16348?t=3962&c=74) may be helpful for anyone looking for an answer in the future. In summary, he said that yes, pregnenolone can be beneficial, but recommended keeping progesterone supplementation low because high or long-term doses can suppress testosterone.

This also suggests that one should keep pregnenolone doses relatively low and use it for a shorter period, since pregnenolone and progesterone levels tend to rise in tandem.

Very interesting! Would love to see if anyone else has tried this! Thanks for posting @herayclitus

Im a physical therapist and Ive never heard anybody having a cast for 6 months for a small fracture . That sounds ridiculous.
6 weeks maybe . I would need more info on the injury and operation to make a clearer statement .

Often the issues we face in rehab are more due to the long time of immobilization than the actual injury . Sometimes other healthy joints are immobilized for no reason whatsoever . Sometimes the damage is permanent.

I would make sure that the range of motion of the finger is stilk there and work on keeping it that way. If you don't move your finger for 6 months, it will stay that way.
