@LucH Thank you, your replies are always thorough and helpful. I like the double action approach. I have also heard good things about oregano oil, great idea to use it soft gel form to enter the lower intestines.

I had blocked ears and tinnitus from neck issues for a month or so, either a pinched nerve or tight muscles or blocked circulation. Neck stretches, exercises and massages helped, but I'm still looking for a permanent cure (I don't have the tinnitus anymore but other issues related to neck tightness). Bad posture immediately makes things worse for me.

@Luke Thank you for the information, I'll post on Experimental Logs weekly while applying the advice from the thread

my eyes have been tingling, unsure why

for gut issues- -Really simply diet maybe. OJ and milk being the most simple -Pregnenolone in a decent dose, 300mg once a week or more. It's known to really help with the gut -regular gelatin use -antibiotics and the carrot salad

@bioenergetical Hi, Your level ferritin is weak but acceptable. Mind if you take aspirin, polyphenols, curcumin... Staples are needed. Get informed on what has impact on fluidity (platelet aggregation) if you don't want to have problem. Make a search with: blood fluidity and +platelet and your supplement. When putting the sign + before a word, the google answer must take it.

@CrumblingCookie thank you. Thankfully his count is improving. Will implement your suggestions I have all of them vitamins. Thank you

@DavidPS Thanks. This is one of my favorite Dinkov interviews, because I learned one critical thing here, which I never knew before: Why non-aged beef is much better: Glycogen is stored in muscle and liver, so if you are eating FRESH meat, you are eating a lot of stored glucose, 3:1 ratio of carbs to protein. In aged meat, bacteria consume the glycogen in the meat, so you are just getting protein, with no glycogen. In aged meat, the bacteria also produce a lot of lactic acid (D-lactate). Also, the increased turnover of the gram- bacteria produces a lot of endotoxin. Also, our bodies are made to use L-lactate, not the D-lactate in aged meat. https://veritaswellnessmember.com/podcast-content/youre-the-cure-july-24-2023 Minute 31

@waywardcloud Yes you're supplementing both but I would only worry if I take more than 3g of magnesium biglycinate.

@serotoninskeptic I had noticed the same thing when cycling t3 for weight loss, made it so any added benefit in metabolic rate was cancelled by the increased fat intake, I quit as t3 makes me anhedonic. I would assume the increased fat cravings is due to more efficient conversion of cholesterol to downstream hormones.

@bioenergetical said in lost appetite for sugar: since my B1 overdose incident I'll read and come back. You'd probably self correct in some time anyway.

@ThinPicking Thanks.

@Corngold You are correct. All cigarettes are required by law to contain flame retardants. You want to be inhaling flame retardants? BIG NO

@dapose I am in Michigan

@VehmicJuryman Look up the TCM horary / circadian clock. Liver is active from 1am-3am. Ask what time you're waking up. I've been getting up at 4 or 5 and have had a cough since 'convid' a few months ago. 4-5 is lung activation period and also associated with death shock.

I began consuming carbs again. Some cookies, orange juice, lentils (molybdenum)… eventually I would start trembling and getting desperate again. I took certain supplements (which stabilized me for a bit) and now I’m trying to fast again

@Corngold said in Solutions for head heaviness?: Buteyko or periodic breathing techniques, EFD or getting a break and going outside. I’ve tried different breathing methods a few years ago with good success, usually box breathing and the 4-7-8 technique, but I’ve noticed over the last few years as my energy has gotten lower, that those breathing techniques have not been as helpful - it could be that I need more rounds to achieve the same effect. Related to breathing techniques, I used a nasal dilating strip on my nose last night which helped enormously with the head heaviness so far today - I suspect that I’ve had chronically poor breathing at night that has been leading to greater sensations of head heaviness over time, and it will take a few nights of proper airflow to recover from the feeling fully. I’ve been mouth taping for a few years now, but my nose is a tad crooked and the airflow out of each nostril is uneven, so I think I have a deviated septum. I tried nasal dilation previously but I didn’t stay consistent with it. Mouth taping without nasal dilation (via adhesive strips or an internal dilator) is likely causing poor recovery during night and leading to feeling awful/low energy/having brain fog in the morning and throughout the day, especially at work where stress is higher. I notice that I’m usually just starting to feel better and more focused at the end of the work day and when I return home. I’m hoping I’m right and that after a few nights of better airflow through my nostrils that I will see a full recovery from the head heaviness.
