@alfredoolivas you didnt read my reply the same way u didnt even read ur own studies, bcus u didnt send 8 u sent 6, literally posted 2 studies two times each but yea anyhow, all ur studies were pretty much done on cell cultures of tobacco, the last one u sent were done on rats, but the first quote was literally "Each of the compounds tested was found to inhibit in vitro brain glycolysis." while u said that aspirin increases glycolosis? u take 200mcg of t3 (for some reason without t4)+ 25mg of nictone and 10x that in caffeine as well as 2grams of test, all of which become super expensivfe and taxing on the body, dont u think that the aspirin was what broke the camels back the 2 grams of test converting into 5ar metabolites are exceptionally expensive since all what estrogen is, is just a safety break on ur metabolism because it can't support having this excessive anabolism, ofc any small amounts of uncoupling would be damaging me personally ion take roids ion take shit barely so I think mega doses of aspirin would be rlly goated for me

@lobotomize this is the issue I was having, the trend seems to be lower SHBG -> /\ free T -> /\ estrogen but the data is just lacking due to low interest

I'm just seeing this now; thanks for updating us. I would say that it makes sense that you are doing better with the A2. The incorrectly structured casein protein in A1 milk is the cause of most dairy allergies (immune response.) As far as dairy intolerance (digestive issue,) I know that a lot of people think they are intolerant to lactose (sugar molecule) when it is actually the casein (protein molecule) that their body struggles to correctly break down. This is discovered when they switch to A2 milk and are relieved of symptoms that they previously blamed on lactose. However, lactose intolerance is still very real for many and I don't know that any study has really ever put the two issues side by side to see which is more common. Where exactly do you live? I am in the US and travel for work. I have found a couple brands of non-homogenized A2 milk in different areas. They are a mix of raw vs pasteurized, but are still non-homogenized. RAW FARM brand dairy. They are raw and non-homogenized. They also are 'grass grazed' so while not 100% grass fed, that is still decent. I have found them mostly in Sprout's Markets but are often in small health food stores as well. https://rawfarmusa.com/find Alexandre brand dairy. This brand has several options, all of which are A2 cream-top. So they aren't raw, but they are non-homogenized. They have varying fat options (2%, 4%, 6%) as well as a 100% grass-fed option. I usually see these in Whole Foods, but they're branching out to more national stores as well as small health food stores. https://alexandrefamilyfarm.com/pages/store-locator You can also use this national search engine that will show farms across the country. Its not updated very well, so call before you start a trip out somewhere because some of the farms close down or change offerings without the site knowing. https://www.realmilk.com/raw-milk-finder/

@tocovit I was reading about stacking Mildronate & Pyrucet, trying to figure out how much is known about how they might synergize or conflict. I read the entire 31-page Pyrucet thread at RPF/LTF and only saw a few people discussing it. Does anyone have any theories, studies, experiences or thoughts about stacking these two? Is there any reason your dosing of these two is so moderate, given that you're going nuclear? Your "moderation in moderation" is a commendable philosophy I can endorse. I was hoping someone might have tried this stack and provide reports with doses like 500-1000mg Mildronate and 20-to-40 drops of Pyrucet per day, maybe divided by two BID. Interesting post. Keen to see any updates.

As I wasn't satisfied with the form and the link I wanted to put in excerpt, I've asked AI to do the job, with a specific orientation. Simplified English Version (impact-focused) When headaches keep coming back despite physical therapy, stretching, or aspirin, it’s worth looking at another angle: a disruption of the electrical and chemical “circuits” of the nervous system, often worsened by neck/shoulder tension and increased sensitivity. Here are three useful avenues to explore: Release physical compression on the nerves A combination of acupuncture + physiotherapy/manual therapy can reduce the “pinching” around the cervical nerves. ️ Less compression = less neural over-excitation and fewer headaches. Support the neuro-metabolic pathways (B1 + B6/PLP) Some B-vitamins — especially B1 (thiamine) and B6 in its active form PLP — help stabilize the balance between excitation (glutamate) and calming signals (GABA). When these pathways are sluggish or overloaded, the nervous system becomes hypersensitive. Why it matters: • B1 improves energy flow in nerve cells (used heavily by the brain) • B6/PLP is needed to make GABA, so the brain doesn’t over-fire • Wrong form or excess B6 → irritability of the nerves • B1 increases the need for B2, which depends on iodine, selenium, molybdenum status • Imbalances can trigger a paradoxical reaction (symptoms worsen before they improve) See Dr. Derrick Lonsdale & Chandler Marrs (Hormones Matter): their work explains how thiamine deficiency or bottlenecks can create “functional” neurological symptoms including headaches, fatigue, nerve tension. Address the excitatory load (glutamate pathway) Too much glutamate or poor conversion from glutamine can lead to neural over-reactivity. → Taurine can sometimes help calm these pathways, even without supplementing glutamine. In short, the picture looks like this: A mix of mechanical compression + neurochemical sensitivity. The goal is to decompress, discharge, then rebalance the circuits. Extra: Thyroid issues when halogens block iodine (simple image) When iodine receptors in the thyroid are “occupied” by other halogens (fluoride, bromide, chlorine), the thyroid can’t activate metabolism properly — including the pathways needed for B2 and therefore B1 to work efficiently. Simple conceptual image : Iodine receptor on thyroid cell: [ I ] ← iodine fits perfectly. No problem. Halogens in the way: [ F ] [ Br ] [ Cl ] are blocking the access. The halogens block the slot → iodine can't bind. Result: ↓ Thyroid activation → ↓ B2 activation → ↓ B1 efficiency = increased sensitivity + low stress tolerance + headaches possible. When the “slot” is blocked, the whole metabolic chain slows down, including those related to neural stability.

Treg Th1 Th2 M1 M2 Cytokines and T-cell Polarization Macrophage Repolarization M1 <> M2 In a (supersimplified) model, the Th1/Th2 and M1/M2 ratios (M = macrophages) can thus be used as indicators to determine whether or not the immune system is in M1/inhibitory mode, oriented towards host defense, or in M2/healing mode, oriented towards repairing and replacing lost or defective tissues in order to maintain host homeostasis.

My pleasure, @GRay. I’m gland to hear you felt good taking 1 1/4 grains in the am. Hopefully, taking the last 1/4 grain, whether in the morning with the rest of your dose or at lunch, works out well for you too so you can finally eliminate the SIBO and resolve your other symptoms.

@sunsunsun said in taking vitamin D twice a day , is more efficient than one dose: you eat fatty ham? is it low pufa ham? Ardennes ham hocks is often low fat, 11 % fat, with SFA 4.35, MUFA 5.27 and PUFA 1.16 g. So very low in PUFA. The type of fat depends on the way the pigs are fed (with or without corn and soy). Here it’s a label one. The final nutritional values can differ significantly based on how the hock is prepared. Smoked or cured hocks are often much higher in sodium. So, you’ll have to manage well with veggies to bring enough potassium at the next meal. Typical nutrition facts (per 100g) Calories: 171-200 K/cal. Protein: 19 Fat: 11 g (SFA 4.35, MUFA 5.27, PUFA 1.16) Carbohydrates: 0-1 g Sodium: 459-1050 mg (mine was 2.4 g salt, so 1 g Na per 100 g).

You’re welcome, @LucyJ. Given he/she knows your medical history and food intake, it’s probably best to listen to your nutritionist and increase your calories first, but there are recipes you can make from the foods you listed that may help with overcoming food fatigue, while improving your calcium stores such as cheesecake, quiche, cheese stuffed burgers and egg crêpe blitzes made with yogurt cheese from strained skyr, veggie-free/carnivore seafood chowder, ice cream, mousse, milkshakes etc. An added bonus—dairy contains some thyroid, and thyroid helps the body retain minerals (per Ray).

Interesting. I've never heard of that type of ginger. It seems to be adrenergically medicated. Not necessarily something id like long term ,but short term for weight loss might be fine.

@gg12 Hi, oregano and peppermint oil (EO) are only a part f the solution and you won't kill all unwanted excessive bacteria. You'll make a selection, leaving the strongest ones, some being able to adapt or to hide behind a biofilm. You need a coordinated approach and don't say "I'll try and we'll see afterwards", given you're going to loose energy in the wrong battle. Not sufficient. Get informed on MMC (interprandial transit). Need to lower background stress. Have to occupy the place and displace what has nothing to do in the second part of the colon. I have this info. get informed and afterwards I'd follow Dr. d'Oro's protocol . SIBO / SIFO Useful link *) SIBO: the invasion of bad bacteria in your intestine https://mirzoune-ciboulette.forumactif.org/t1131-sibo-pullulation-bacterienne#11611 (In French, need a translator). *) Key information on SIBO/SIFO SIBO, when your health problems come from the small intestine, Part 1: Understanding and diagnosing (In French; translator needed) https://www.lanutrition-sante.ch/le-sibo-quand-vos-problemes-de-sante-viennent-de-lintestin-grele-partie-1-comprendre-et-diagnostiquer/ *) SIBO : l’invasion des mauvaises bactéries dans votre intestin SIBO: Invasion of bad bacteria in your intestine https://mirzoune-ciboulette.forumactif.org/t1131-sibo-pullulation-bacterienne#11611 => Key ideas The microbiota is the center of our immunity. If you regularly suffer from bloating, belching, flatulence, gastric reflux, abdominal pain and/or diarrhea, or even unexplained fatigue, most of these disorders come from the small intestine where there is an excess bacteria (SIBO). There is a close link between bacterial overgrowth and celiac disease (irritable bowel or IBS). SIBO, FODMAP, gluten sensitivity, lactose intolerance, etc. contribute to low-grade inflammation of the intestinal mucosa. However, low-grade inflammation weakens intestinal tightness (leaky gut). This opens the door to the autoimmune reaction. Understand the process that leads to intestinal permeability: --- X How to deal with a recently installed SIBO / SIFO It is an abnormal proliferation, bacterial and / or fungal, in the small intestine, causing multiple digestive and extra-digestive symptoms. Problems of intestinal hyperpermeability may be associated with this. When you have a methane sibo, the stagnation of materials in the large bowel + gas causes distensions that the bowel is not designed to handle. Basis of treatment – The Sibo is recently installed. The symptoms are less than a year old. We assume a low-noise bacterial-sounding IBS (IBS = Intestinal Bacterial Syndrome). Therefore we can ignore a biofilm disruptor as a precursor to the treatment. But we need a coordinated approach against excess intestinal bacteria: ration – stun – eradicate. Strategy to attack bacterial biofilm Intestinal peristalsis (MMC) will be facilitated with a prokinetic: for example with Résolor 0.5 mg. Resolor will boost MMC in phase 3 (regular activity phase), when we are in the inter-digestive period, in order to evacuate waste. This must be done every night in order to achieve 100% evacuation. So Sibo will no longer be able to develop. The ideal is to start a 12-hour fast after the evening meal and to observe an inter-digestive space of 5 hours between each meal in order to allow the MMC to do its work also during the day. Example of Siebecker Treatment Protocol (Pimentel 2006): https://servimg.com/view/19831774/635 Treatment • Diet oriented, if desired, to facilitate the assimilation of macronutrients. This restrictive diet is poor in fermentable foods but will be limited in time, taking into account the terrain (intolerances and state of the digestive system). • Antimicrobial treatment (antibiotics or plants) adapted to the type of SIBO/SIFO (hydrogen or methane). For example, I used these essential oils: Ceylon Cinnamon, Clove, Mountain Savory and Lemon EO. Peppermint EO, with ginger and fennel. Oregano EO. Some people use berberine successfully. NB: EOs are preferably entero-protected (soft gels) in order to reach the 2nd part of the colon and to avoid attack on the intestinal mucosa. • Prokinetics: I used Resolor 0.5 mg. We must prevent stagnation of faeces. • Supply of useful nutrients (intestinal tightness / against leaky gut) via drink (water), with L-glutamine kyowa 15-20 gr. To compensate for the excitatory effect of glutamine, I use glycine (hydrolyzed collagen) and magnesium. But not only. • Support digestion processes and the integrity of the intestinal wall with useful nutrients. For example lipase enzymes, betaine HCL. I used other nutrients to facilitate intestinal sealing (glutamine, butyrate). No glutamine when suffering from candidiasis (candida albicans) because it feeds the fungus. • A reduction in factors that aggravate SIBO/SIFO such as stress or certain medications.
