@kenji Also avoid coconut oil. Malassezia has lipases that can break it down and feed on it. I forgot this last night and my scalp is itchy today.

To everyone: Thank you all I think the weight of conviction crushed her I left to run errands My husband wasn’t home Nor her sister By the time we all got back She was a pitiful and remorseful kid Apologized and was embarrassed Moving forward: I think it’s all a combination of factors stated above Peers. Novelty. Boys? But COPING I think it’s a way to just be alone and chill… There is so much pressure on these kids So much AP work Stupid shtt she sees right through She sits in a classroom in front of a smart-board With headphones on In front of a computer Schools don’t care about kids

@questforhealth thaat play also a important factor

@Mulloch94 Perhaps you miss a fundamental step that by the time the substance leaves the system the final acetylcholine will perhaps be higher than before. Do you understand what I mean? a typical example is when you use Cypro for example you might feel terrible during it but when it comes out you will feel better due to a matter of receptor under-regulation and over-regulation. I gave a random example but it could apply to anything we introduce. I absolutely need to reactivate acetylcholinesterase or antagonize whatever is blocking the enzyme. They mention atropine scopolamine but the hospital should do it, not me!

@basebolt very interesting, appreciate that. Will keep an eye on it, I ordered 2kg of gelatin so Im going to try that, but might supplement with B complex then. Will keep the glycine thing in mind for when I do get problems. Thanks voor the well thought out response.

@CO3 Ok starting with https://dannyroddy.substack.com/p/bioenergetic-basics-7-where-to-start At 3m15s video cites the book "Hypothyroidism The unsuspected Illness" Broda Barnes Basal metabolic rate test: Measure underarm temperature up waking and in the afternoon. Test suggests temp should be 97.8F upon waking, and afternoon should rise to 98.6F. I like specific numbers, even if they're averages, caveats etc. Also appreciate the detail about meal temperature.

@CharlieLover123 said in Stinkier the poop the healthier?: Is this true? Eww

@basebolt I have no idea. I know there's some guy who produces some kind of mass spec reports for these kinds of things, but I would shoot for USP grade of anything you put in your body AT MINIMUM

Ray spoke about the no flush BB-3 https://www.bioenergetic.life/clips/423de?t=5718&c=108 “…The old, it's still popular, the nicotinic acid that makes people turn red, what it's doing is increasing the release of serotonin and activating prostaglandin production, stuff you don't want to happen. And even the kind they call no-blush, no-flush niacin, it's inositol hexonicotinate, I think is its name. It still releases nicotinic acid which releases serotonin, where the niacinamide doesn't do that. And even the slow release or the nicotinic acid are for sure going to increase the risk of diarrhea by increasing your serotonin and prostaglandins. Right. Good stuff. Once again, anything else you want to elaborate on?”

@bluebloodmed I'm curious too. I haven't felt it personally but I haven't taken it daily.

@DonkeyDude White men do not get the dole.

@TheRealPeater Never an issue with me. Seek your minerals from food. Whole food. I was low on copper, but not too low. Still, my ceruloplasmin was on the low range of normal. Since it is widely known that it's hard to get the right amount of copper supplementation, Ray recommends getting it through food such as shrimp. But I didn't eat shrimps because I didn't like that they were farm-raised. So I went with a local crustacean that is made into a paste used for flavoring (bagoong is what it's known as in the Phils. and widely used. I ate that regularly with my cooked greens for a year (making sure I don't overdo it) and a year later, my ceruloplasmin serum levels improved to the high of normal. He also recommends a weekly serving of oyster for zinc (and vitamin A). And a weekly serving of liver , for vitamin A. I did just that, and I am much better for it. Eating whole foods just has a way of getting our intake of these minerals into body just right. But I only get away with doing this because I live in a place where I can easily obtain such foods fresh without breaking the bank. When I was in the US and living in a city, it was hard to meet my nutritional needs through whole foods, unless I splurge by going to Whole Foods. I had to rely on supplementation.

@DBL21 Imho, often overlooked is acid-base balance w/r to tissue calcification. Easy to test at home with pH test strips (cheap too) to measure urine and saliva pH. There's a method to the madness. If you have good to optimal sugar metabolism, you don't have to do much as acid-base balance is built into it. This way, calcium is well-regulated by potassium in the cell membrane, keeping calcium out of the cell as much as possible with only enough allowed in to allow muscles the calcium gradient (between inside and outside the cell) that enables contraction and relaxation of muscles. Apart from the metabolic factors (nutrition inputs, sun, oxygen, sleep), metabolism can be impaired by the presence of toxins and infections that left unresolved will cause energy to be directed towards continually fighting small fires where energy production is impaired, and the loss of energy will cause the body to compensate with more stress hormones. These stress hormones can help us in times of great stress, but a body always in stress mode becomes a body in survival mode. And a body in such a mode will very likely calcify because being chronically stressed will be expressed in poor acid-base balance, and calcium can easily accumulate in tissues and calcificarion and fibrosis will result.

Also sci hub to read papers unless it got nuked

@Mulloch94 I had slightly high cholesterol and TSH w/T4 reflex at 3.29 when I got bloodwork last. I guess I could do it but idk it weirds me out without a lot of background knowledge and the availability for tight testing intervals

@IkeIkeforever Gummy bears are a good idea if they are without artificial additives/preservatives. The grass-fed beef gelatin is the best. Bone broth is a viable alternative. And still, pork gelatin is better than nothing... BTW aminoacids like taurine and theanine also have calming properties.

Ray Peat has spoken about co2 being healing for everything including bones. Specifically it will accelerate carbonate formation. Ingesting baking soda. Bag breathing. Other co2 therapy. Breathing modalities. Anything prometabolic will tend to increase co2 too, like thyroid
