@Peater0921 sulphur soap is good. You can also get some sulphur powder, flowers of sulphur, and put a very thin layer on the affected area, after a shower in the morning. This works very well.

Improve your thyroid and dopaminergic tone and you will see how hungry you will be. Cyproheptadine with weed is great short term but will increase your prolactin in the long run. You will have better results with Thiamine, as well as nutrients improving the conversion of T4 to T3, especially Selenium as well as some bioavailable Magnesium to compensate for the overstimulation of the two. They are very affordable and are extremly good at improving overall energy levels, the more energy levels you have, the better your digestion and appetite will be.

@Honeycomb No problem, happy to help. Just my 2 cents, but I think low-dose of cyproheptadine is fine (even chronically) if you provide yourself with enough glycine and protein in general. Both glycine and protein are very important for maintain liver function. Caffeine/coffee and TUDCA seems to help to a certain degree as well. The main thing is to just avoid low-protein diets though.

@peater we’ve all done stupid things to pursue health. Now you know to never do that again Although this speaks to your desperation Soothe yourself with a healing balm topically Tallow Or even lanolin and honey Work on your gut health

@lil-peep could be histamine intolerance …. Citrus is a histamine liberator.

@CharlieLover123 Kosher Peating can be done minus shellfish- you could still eat small fish. Guidelines about separating milk and meat isn't really that much of an issue. Kosher regulations on certain cuts of meat(I've met Jews who do not eat flank steak or any cut from the back half) may be tough(no oxtails) but you can still eat bone marrow, the feet, and front half joints. Halal Peating seems easy. My understanding(limited) of Quran and seafood is that seafoods, including shellfish, are allowable so long as they do not resemble a haram land animal to eat- sea snakes, alligators, crocodiles, fish that look like a dog/human are haram. I'd love to try camel or desert goat milk- i hear camel milk is very tasty and can be minerally.

I would recommend you take most supplements orally as long as there are no bad additives. However some idealabs products with ethanol as the solvent are designed to be taken topically since they have higher absorption.

@TurkishPeater said in L-Glutamine Question: @mostlylurking 2 grams of thiamine and magnesium. Other than that classical bioenergetic foods. Cured my fibromyalgia. Cured my reflux, SIBO. My bowel movements are so constant right know, I feel like I am 5 years old again LOL. Sleeping very well. Had terrible insomnia. That's great news! 2 grams of thiamine hcl/day + magnesium did the same for me. Thiamine deficiency is a lot more common than most people believe. https://knowledgeofhealth.com/disease-of-modern-civilization-threatens-eradication-all-life/ It is my understanding that taking some niacinamide, riboflavin, potassium, and possibly some zinc is a good idea too because when you fix your oxidative metabolism, these things get used more and so providing them is helpful. I take 100mg niacinamide 4Xday; 100mg riboflavin 4Xday; 24-32 oz of orange juice/day (for the potassium); and 15mg zinc maybe every other day. I've found that I do well on 3100mgs of magnesium glycinate, which equals to 400 mgs of magnesium

@Chud I use small doses (10-50 mg) almost daily, especially in the evening, during stress, or sometimes with a bigger coffee...

@CO3 I will definitely investigate this. Citric acid is in almost everything, including my favorite drink.

@zipris I hope this helps, https://constantinek.substack.com/p/addictions-substance-abuse-and-withdrawals

@renaissanceman np, although I'd like to mention that it didn't get better on vitamin D alone, I had to add about a gram of supplemental calcium a day as well as more dairy products

Make sure to get a FUE hair transplant and it'll probably look good if the doctor is good. I think you have to think about potential negative effects from minoxidil vs stress/feeling bad about being bald. Aspirin may also reduce the effectiveness quite a bit if you're unlucky. You probably only need to use it once daily after a while since the half life in skin is about 22h. Also I doubt you'll be able to stop using it and keep the hair, havn't seen anyone keep the gains after a year. Might be worth considering if you're gonna do a hair transplant. Also only use topical, pill can be very dangerous.

Ray Peat talking about joint deformity and knock knees in this interview: https://www.bioenergetic.life/clips/36c4d?t=1253&c=27 garynull-960101-thyroid-function-npr-thyroid-interview “…eyeball the mucusy materials that are overproduced also can cause blood vessel inefficiency and rigidity and contributes to things like varicose veins and when this material gets in the joints it causes cartilage deformities the old textbooks used to show teenagers with deformed joints that caused the same deviation of the bones at the elbow joint especially and the knee joint especially with knock knees for example but in old people you see the fingers deviating to one side because the cartilage is getting deformed the right balance of thyroid and the youth associated hormones progesterone and”

@coconut I'm gonna start taking 15 to 20 grams glutamine everyday to see if it helps. Have you tried it?
