@foxgelb said in DAO Deficiency:

If you decide to do copper supplement, what other vitamins/minerals should you be sure to have enough of, do you know?

I gave the two most required but if you lack other ones, it's not going to turn round:
Zn 10-15 mg / Cu 1.5 mg => Meat for Zinc.
Vit C (not high level, mind the kind too), D3 2000 UI.
B6 PLP (not PNP), 5 days a week, for 3 weeks. then stop one week. Repeat once.
Make a search with "mastocytes and histamine" and which supplement.

@Pooooop Efruxifermin or pegozafermin induce FGF21 and greatly increase BMR replicating the effects of protein restricted carb-overfeeding. Might be hard to come by but worth looking into.

"29% of patients taking efruxifermin reported increased appetite, but this didn't seem to affect how well efruxifermin worked for weight loss”

“Efruxifermin significantly reduced body weight gain after 4 and 26 weeks, despite increasing food intake.”

The article from the Towsend Letter found different responses when the cinnamon was taken in capsules or in water.

Cinnamon: Postprandial Hyperglycemia Suppression

@DavidPS Hmm. Seems to be many possible causes. I did consume too much to drink on New Year evening and its been happening since then. Possibly a vitamin or mineral deficiency from too much alcohol

@LucH said in Agar agar:

"Locust bean gum, HPMC, guar gum, and kappa carrageenan impacted various parameters in a reversible manner, while xantham gum, sorbitan monostearate, glyceryl stearate, maltodextrin, and P80 impacted various microbiota parameters, both compositionally and/or functionally, in a non-reversible manner

Happy New Year! This is part of your perfect answer.

@Kilgore I am down to I'm sorry, down to 80g per day, I had written 40g in another post which is erroneous.

Anyway, I haven't seen any benefit that I can quantify or observe in 2 months at 200g - 340g per day. So I think it's a bust for me, but I'll continue on a maintenance regime and see if something develops.

@smelllikacowshit That feeling but through carbon dioxide would be ideal

@albion Interesting. Do you believe serotonin lowers or raises pitch, and what did you observe in others and yourself?

@peatolish with cream and sugar is the right way is the peat way. Any one, hypo or not, having black coffee with out any thing sweet is asking for trouble.

@cs3000 said in My wild IdeaLabs nail test results - opinions ?:

so maybe ok considering very low ng concentration but for a boost with whats left a round of lipoic acid might be worth a try for a couple weeks. and avoiding zinc supplements during this time as seems to help retention (but needs replenishing after ofc). and 1g vit C a day might help (helps lead excrete a lot at least)

Sulfur groups bind it like the other heavy metals https://www.researchgate.net/publication/341867829_Investigating_the_role_of_sulfate_groups_for_the_binding_process_of_gadolinium_ions_in_glycosaminoglycans
(so lipoic acid which has 2 sulfur groups, msm, thiamine might be useful , as such low amounts from the macrocylcic type probably best not to take high amounts for long as run the risk of needed metal depletion, maybe a couple weeks would be significant)

Im not sure about lipoic acid. know that peat thought it might lead to heavy metal deposition in even more harmful places, althugh i dont understand why that wouldnt be the case with lets say, citric acid from orange juice or lactic acid from yoghurt...but given the relatively small amount of heavy metals ill probably skip it

theres this video of a guy going around who said he lowered his heavy metals by 75% using MSM so that might be something Ill try.

So far I feel like antioxidants help me the most and molybdenum for some reason ...

@Serotoninskeptic said in Low dose naltrexone:

He recommends starting with 1.5mg, and increasing to 4.5mg. Any experiences eith this protocol?

I've felt mild benefits, as in a tiny bit more stable physically and mentally from 4mg naltrexone daily. I felt like the 4mg were too much. Ultimately it wasn't worth continueing for me after I had used it up.
Also, if I were to give it another try I'd argue against increased doses but instead go for 1mg or even less. As in ULDN (ultra low dose naltrexone).
The way it's reported to act through the opiod recepters in incrementally smaller doses is funnily kind of reminiscient of homeopathy.

@oliveoil said in I just ate some plastic, should I make myself vomit or not worry about it.:

I took several pills of magnesium citrate

Yes, it OK too.
and high dose fat (laxative); preferably coconut oil

@DavidPS said in heavy metal chelation (sauna, DMSA):

Joe Cohen has an interesting video on his experience using MSM.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r34x3jcRIo0

Peatbot: The context provided suggests that MSM (methylsulfonylmethane) can be tolerated in fairly large amounts, but it can also be toxic in those amounts. It is important to be cautious and to read actual research articles on MSM to understand its effects better. While some people take MSM for joint flexibility or as a sulfur supplement, it is not something that cells necessarily need, and it can be toxic if taken in excessive amounts. Therefore, it is advisable to approach MSM supplementation with caution and to be informed about its potential risks.

interesting i just came here to post the exact same video. i'm gonna take some msm Soon. its efficacy might also be due To the heavy metal -fungus connection that i previously posted About.

Fake peaters unite ✊

Sure, why not. I already had a meeting with the "Procrastinators Unite" group, but we have postponed the meeting indefinitely.

@stag does it taste like literal mold. like eating a chip of mold from drywall

@gg12 said in PSSD any advice?:

I’m young still in school I took ssris for 3 years in my youth for OCD which still troubles me.

Hi,
Did you stop abruptly “helpful” phytotherapy, to get more performant or feel fine?
If yes, a sudden or worsening loss of sexual desire, arousal, or satisfaction often arouse. The brain experiences rapid changes in the levels of serotonin, induced by a "feel good" substance. It takes time to recover.
