@Rah1woot said in Muscle Pain: However, what I have since learned is that it is a serotonin agonist preferentially into what is known as a serotonin "autoreceptors", which play a role in regulating the synthesis and distribution of serotonin. So in effect the drug causes the body/brain to think "I have enough serotonin" and actually lowers the overall amount. Yes, as I understand and would attest, social trust and openness increase with usage which is opposite serotonin. I think of serotonin as self-serving, more introspective. Pretty sure cannabis is pro-serotonin and is linked to "Serotonin Syndrome" in a few studies. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/10398562231219858 https://escholarship.org/uc/item/2kj531sc Psychiatrists have unbelievable powers right now, and psychologists too. They prescribe uppers and downers to "depressed" patients who continue using marijuana and other stuff regularly. Somehow these "doctors" people sleep just fine at night. I think R.D. Laing was using LSD to treat schizophrenia, depression and other illness in the 1960s - very controversial. But I can honestly see the merit - only now, 60 years later, are people considering ketamine, mushrooms, and lsd as "possible treatments." My opinion is yeah, these probably all have some treatment potential. Rich people are flying to the Amazon to do the demon-inducing ayhuasca drug, while all of these known medicine remain illegal except in certain states that are pioneering treatments.

If anyone has any questions feel free to ask. I've got all of my labs and more on the way as I figure this out. My hope this thread can add to the ever growing knowledge of the forum. I will also do a full synopsis once I have this completely figured out and "cured".

@Razvan what is your iron anemia protocol? do you take iron rich foods? would you post any study links on this if you have them already

@sneedful I don’t really see much here. I’m planning on using something like DMSA to remove the antimony… if only I can convince a physician to prescribe it

@hcwilliams said in How would you come off of TRT without PCT?: Sounds good. Been 5 days since last injection. E2 and serotonin notably still high. I would also add some Aspirin (plus K2-mk4) to the mix, which should help lower serotonin and E2 levels. And also "refresh the pipes"...

@GreekDemiGod In Celsius I get around 97- low 98 temps sometimes my temps go as low as 96 though. I just want to know how , and with what I should be measuring. Im not sure how bad my thyroid is I do sort of have no lunulae and my nails are pink/purple. I also get cold after meals.

@Corngold If you’re talking about garlic possibly yes it might help with absorption of B1.

anybody?

Masterjohn advises 20-25 mg per day. I take 400 UI twice a week. Now foods Advanced Gamma E complex. Don't take at the same time as Vit K.

@DavidPS great, thanks. so boiling the mushrooms removes the bads while keeping the benefits

@gg12 said in EFA defficiency protects against EMF: Although this could be coincidence. I finally am starting to get my emotions back and being able to connect with people again its nice. That's terrifying. I've heard of the zombification and used to know people who took different things for bipolar, schizophrenia, and depression. It makes me pretty angry how many normal people are treated like dollar signs because their lives are stressful and their genes are not 100% helping them, nor their doctors or insurance. Recovery is possible though; all of the gas-lighting involved is sickening.

@winters Not sure but I'm guessing it would be because nearly all other minerals or metal minerals can be deficient and cause problems. I think what is difficult is to interpret cravings. Trying to limit and remove seed oil / pufa I've noticed I don't actually crave those things as much. Like, I'm not eating fried chicken or fried stuff much anymore. I like Chinese but really limit stuff like this and don't crave it so much. However I ate some good dark chocolate and couldn't get enough of it... I think you may be onto something.

@Sunniva Also, these things are very specific, mk4 is not the same molecule as mk2, so even if it is approved he might still be able to continue selling Kuinone (plus mk2 supplements are very popular)

I was of the assumption that ashwagandha increased nitric oxide and potentially cortisol?

@ilnyarienàfaire On dreams, I think Kilgore is right. I typically have a lot of dreams and feel unrested from them. I almost always oversleep because I am so fatigued from my dreams that I feel too groggy to get up and just go back into the dreams, if that makes sense? I've noticed that when I do sleep and don't have dreams (or at least don't conciously process I've had them) I feel A LOT more rested when I wake up and waking is a lot easier. I wish I could give advice as to how to dream less but this is my current biggest problem for myself also.

@Serotoninskeptic how many grams in a bathtub?
