@RandomUser yes I was thinking the same thing, since a sign of hypothyroid is little 4c curls in your roots or in ur hair, I used to have ALOT of those. and my hair became curly when I was at peak shit health.

@happyhanneke idk if this reply was for me, but when I was a kid our goats were fine. My dad's nanny goat did fine, except that constant mating attempts by the billy goat caused an udder injury that led to mastitis. Check out rotational grazer's experience with sheep -- it's led to drastic reductions in infections and parasites. But yes, due to them eating strait to the root, they are more likely to get parasites and bacteria -- rotational grazing mitigates this by keeping them in clean pasture away from their poop

HI @Jennifer I did not know this. The symptoms I was experiencing could actually resemble those of excess estrogen, since there was some hyperexcitability as well. However, Pregnenolone sulphate is totally capable of doing the same, as it also cause cell excitation by allowing Ca to enter the cells, just like estrogen. I can confidently say that Preg-S can just do the opposite of Progesterone.

On Temples is sometimes nice, when I feel the stress-induced "clenching" of the scalp.

@the_black_jew said in What do you guys think about Linus Pauling and Vitamin C?: 10,000iu retinyl palmitate once a week seems low to match 5000iu daily vit d Yes, you're right. My brain brakes. Not logical. If I try to explain why (insufficient, I know): My Vitamin A comes from animal sources: gouda cheese and brie cheese: one third of the dose from fat, compare to 4 % creamed fat from milk. 8 days on 12 days. raw butter: 2x/day 3 portions. Same dose. 2 chicken livers a week or 10 000 UI retinyl palmitate once a week. 2 eggs twice a week: 160 mcg x 2. few vitamin A from 100 - 120 g meat once or twice a day. So, not enough to be optimal, I know. I should re-read why the amount of retinol has to be higher when taking 5 000 UI vit D in the winter time. Thanks for having me remind this "insufficiency".

Whilst the L. reuteri are oddly fermenting (I'm not quite sure, it smells and tastes somewhat like tangy cheese), I've found a connection between GABA and the microbiome. Essentially, not only does the notorious gut-brain-axis rely much on a GABA-producing microbiome raising GABA in serum and brain! But a lot of bacteria of a (healthy?) microbiome exclusively depend on GABA as a crucial nutrient. Many bacteria don't grow at all without exogenous GABA, which should be supplied by other bacteria of the microbiome. Hence, supplementing GABA feeds such bacteria and reconstitutes gastrointestinal microbiotic diversity. And feeding GABA increases IFN-y for innate immunity, TNF-a, MUC2 for the crucial mucin barrier. Also, feeding GABA appears to enhance autophagy of enteric cells instead of them taking the route of destructive apoptosis. GABA-producing gut bacteria are foremost Bacteroides (e.g. fragilis), Parabacteroides, Eschericia, L. plantarum, L. brevis, L. lactis, L. paracasei. GABA content in fermented dairy (cheese) varies a lot depending on the microbiotic strains being traditionally used in the respective regions (huge differences e.g. just among the Italian Pecorino cheeses). GABA-modulating bacteria of the human gut microbiota Effects of dietary gamma-aminobutyric acid supplementation on amino acid profile, intestinal immunity, and microbiota in ETEC-challenged piglets GABA attenuates ETEC-induced intestinal epithelial cell apoptosis involving GABAAR signaling and the AMPK-autophagy pathway I'm now supplementing c. 3grs GABA every day. Have already felt the "heavy chest" and mild flushing for a couple of hours after my intake, as reported by others in the RPF.

The research shared here on goat milk's benefits, particularly for gut health and reducing allergic tendencies, is compelling. At Courtyard Farms, we prioritize producing goat milk that retains these natural benefits. It's encouraging to see such positive scientific support for what many have observed anecdotally about goat milk.

@PunkinEater I will...but I am trying to avoid as the shipping cost to Europe is quite high, plus the danger of paying outrageous customs and administrative fees

Try asking these guys. https://bbforum.org/

@Hollowed I’ve brought a couple bottles flying across the border before. No issues. I’d imagine things get suspicious the more you carry

@TexugoDoMel Thank you so much Summers in this part of China are extremely hot, so I actually spent a lot of time indoors. But it is possible that the little time I spent outside was enough to give me more sunlight

@the_black_jew I'll get a job soon anyways. Seems I've got this now.

No worries, @GRay. You’re welcome.

A man can turn himself in to a rabid animal with the right salt/sugar concentration and water restriction. Assuming the rest of the diet and behaviour are sound. Conduct some experiments. Amazing article. I was a salt fiend while pregnant and nursing. Will be experimenting thank you! This is the kind of mommy-MKUltra experimentation I’m conducting over here. Less lsd and torture, more sugar and salt and lovin’. Haha

@Njegos May you go a long way in that quest.
