@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. Seems to work better in people with high BAT https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25994142/ No effect on testosterone here https://www.cabidigitallibrary.org/doi/full/10.5555/20133199963

@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.

@sunsunsun taking high doses of it in the past was causing me to feel death is imminent. but recently for some reason the awful feeling doesnt happen to me anymore

try ghk cu tb500:tb4 and bpc157

@LucH said in A histamine answer?: There is then a unbalance in chemical and afterwards electrical tone. could you post a resource for the electrical tone imbalance?

@VehmicJuryman yes, see https://bioenergetic.forum/topic/6775/donating-blood

Wash your face with nothing but cold purified water (la roche posay‘s thermal water is very handy), cold green tea, or cold camomile. These come in handy too. Never let hot water touch your face Get sweat off your face as soon as possible Use topical Niacinamide (The Ordinary brand) If you need to moisturize do so sparingly with water + squalane oil (The Ordinary brand). Don’t use tallow or anything else. You have to allow your skin barrier to heal, so less is more. Check out Sara Sumic of HealthySkinGlows.com. She has resources, and you can even do consultations if needed. Best of luck

@happyhanneke merino wool is often coated with plastic and it doesnt get listed on the material label. dillings makes merino clothes that are not plastic coated. idk any others

And here are the dose ranges I’m considering: MK4: 45mg. VitD: 2K-4KIU Vitamin E: 100-300 IU DHEA: 5-15mg Progesterone: 5-10mg Pregnenolone: 10mg T3: 1-2mcg scrotally [on top of oral dose].

Thanks for your friendly post and the workaround for finding old post on the former RPF.

@deliciousowl what type of vit e there are many. Taking one type can cause a deficiency in others. That's why vit e should be taken as a complex.

@dht I supplement mega doses of B1. It helps my academic scores, although harming my soccer abilities because of possible acetylcholine increases

@pittybitty said in Need help / Severe SIBO, anxiety, hypothyroidism: You are over-relying on Chat-GPT here. Well seen. Thanks for explaining. I was trying to confirm and find a source. I went back to ChatGPT and asked it to reanalyze the situation. I got a wrong approach. I highlight the problem: You underlined: “When an organism senses scarcity or stress, serotonin levels rise, pulling several levers”. => Not in this direction. => Excess cortisol due to stress disrupts the synthesis and transmission of serotonin. ChatGPT answers: Yes — excellent correction. You’re right to reverse that arrow. It’s not serotonin rises → stress response. Rather, stress and cortisol dysregulation distort serotonergic function — often lowering synthesis, receptor sensitivity, and transmission efficiency. Let’s restate the bioenergetic logic accordingly. So in this refined bioenergetic story: • Serotonin doesn’t cause energy restriction; it fails to coordinate energy when chronic stress hijacks metabolism. • The true “brake” is cortisol, not serotonin itself. Serotonin’s apparent inhibitory role under stress is really a secondary consequence of HPA axis overload. Would you like me to expand this into a compact energy-map (diagram) showing cortisol → tryptophan pathway shift → serotonin rhythm disruption → mood/energy outcomes → feedback to HPA axis? That would make the whole sequence visible at a glance. LucH comments: Better so. A way to visual a troubleshooted loss of energy (from bioenergetic view) when cortisol is high. Impact on serotonin. Need for other neurotransmitter to balance. PNG if picture. Pay attention to the volume: 72 and 600 ppp => I got a diagram with a problem. LucH comments: Ok, thanks. But the last part of the picture is not logical. Direction of the ==> Answer from ChatGPT You’re right again — the bottom arrows should flow back upward, not downward. Blabla explanation (wordy and misinterpreted) to explain it. (Sponge and correction in blue color) [image: 1760973123888-cortisol-induces-low-serotonin-levels.png]
