I commented in another post on the importance of choline in preventing/reversing fatty liver, maybe it can help. Chris Masterjohn has a post commenting on it: "Fatty Liver: Why Choline Matters More Than Sugar, Alcohol, or Fat" "Neither fat nor sugar nor booze are the master criminals here. Rather, these mischeivous dudes are just the lackeys of the head honcho, choline deficiency. That's right, folks, it's the disappearance of liver and egg yolks from the American diet that takes most of the blame. Dietary fat, whether saturated or unsaturated, and anything that the liver likes to turn into fat, like fructose and ethanol, will promote the accumulation of fat as long as we don't get enough choline. Once that fat accumulates, the critical factor igniting an inflammatory fire to this fat is the consumption of too much PUFA (seed oils)." If I'm not mistaken, a deficiency of choline (phosphatidylcholine) hinders the production of VLDL, so triglycerides accumulate in the liver.

@thyroidchor27 Hi, "Prolactin inhibitors in conjuction with it and regular gooning can make people less neurotic." is that Reich who thinks that, or is that you?

Can I just rub the leaves on my head

@skylark yes I think it’s worth using, but I would probably have the aspirin after dinner not before bedtime.

Ray Peat pregnancy clips worth listening to. https://www.bioenergetic.life/?q=Pregnancy He also has talked about a chicken experiment, where the egg was injected with glucose and the chick's had bigger brains. I remember craving fruit in my last trimester. https://www.bioenergetic.life/?q=Chicken+brain

@sexpresso69 It works great for managing histamine intolerance and detoxing the lungs. Used it when getting off of cigarettes and weed.

@Jenna @PrinceMyshkin @lanadelesoteric thanks for the info everyone

@notmcas The sublingual vitamins show promise. The sublingual vitamin B1 (thiamine) is known to work quite well. Information about sublingual vitamin B1 How To about sublingual delivery

@deliciousowl Honestly I don't think it has any effect at all right now, neither good nor bad. Thank you all for your answers; man that sucks, I thought most people reacted very well to preg, but this seems more common than I thought lol

@fucker Maybe what OP friend need is the military or prison, or a monks life. boomer perspective

@HoldenCox said in Recovering from Bulimia need advice: I got into peating a few years ago. As a college student I have been pretty on and off with it. I am beginning to purchase groceries and trying to live a healthier lifestyle and have since stopped vomiting so often. However, for a multiple years growing up I threw up multiple times a week, sometimes multiple times a day and I want to try and help repair my health. Obviously time will help heal my body but I was wondering if there are certain foods and/or supplements I should take to help maintain my health. I also plan to quit smoking soon since my throat is often sore and I am worried that combined with my past as a bulimic will result in a destroyed esophagus. Bulimia points to thiamine deficiency. Look into thiamine in general. Thiamine Deficiency in Adolescents with Eating Disorders: A Prospective Cohort Study

@basednigga2006 eat alot of eggs for DHT i had thin hair when i was hypothyroid that was my only symptom maybe ur just hypo

@Hando-Jin I do drink coffee. Many people have mentioned methylene blue, I think I will try it.

@Zofia said in RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS: I forgot to mention I am currently taking Vitex and it's helped my PMS significantly. I was doing progesterone for a while but it became too tedious with RA hands. Honestly, I keep my PUFA very low, I have also been told it can take up to 4+ years to get rid of in the tissues. I eat all home-cooked meals, even if I have some PUFA it's less than 3-4g. How do you know what does of Niacinamide works for you? Currently, I'm at 500mg and feel good, mostly getting sugar from fruit or honey. I really like that explanation of CRP, makes complete sense. Yes, I've been thinking of seeing one but it's a hit or miss of course. So with the appropriate amount of thyroid, you were able to put the disease into remission? Thank you for all the reading! I'll be reading it all. I've also come across SIBO being treated with high-dose thiamene, up to 600mg. I've never taken Vitex myself so I have no personal experience with it. Some say it can be estrogenic. I do use a couple of blats of progesterone every night; one blat rubbed into my gums, the other blat mixed with equal parts coconut oil and done vaginally. The total of 2 blats equals about 40mg of progesterone (in vitamin E). I've been a lunatic avoiding pufa for 9 years. I don't eat out. My husband thinks I'm nuts. But it's better than being closed up in a facility for the incapacitated. Regarding the niacinamide: Ray Peat always recommended doses of 90mg for niacinamide. I took two doses of niacinamide each day, each 200mg for 7 years. But then, I decided to switch to 100mg 4Xday. After that one change, I lost about 35 pounds in about 8-10 weeks. I think it's because the more frequent smaller doses made my body work better. I was very surprised when I finally weighed myself because my clothes fit differently. "I really like that explanation of CRP, makes complete sense." I think that the whole RA thing is caused by inflammation. Inflammation is caused by poor oxidative metabolism. If you can correct what's interfering with the oxidative metabolism, the inflammation disappears and your body will heal itself. I think that it really is that straight forward. "Yes, I've been thinking of seeing one but it's a hit or miss of course. So with the appropriate amount of thyroid, you were able to put the disease into remission?" I don't know where you are. I'm in the U.S. Pharmacies here receive prescriptions from doctors, fill them, and the patients pick them up. If the situation is similar where you are, the pharmacists know which endos/doctors prescribe desiccated thyroid already. If NP Thyroid by Acella is available in your country, you could ask pharmacists near you which doctors are prescribing it (or Armour brand or other?). This research would shorten your doctor hunt quite a bit. Yes, the right dose of a good desiccated thyroid med (NP Thyroid by Acella) completely resolved my rheumatoid arthritis. Ray Peat wrote that this was common knowledge back in the olden golden days, before the medical industry mucked things up so badly. ARTHRITIS AND NATURAL HORMONES A very healthy 71 year-old man was under his house repairing the foundation, when a support slipped and let the house fall far enough to break some facial bones. During his recovery, he developed arthritis in his hands. It is fairly common for arthritis to appear shortly after an accident, a shock, or surgery, and Han Selye's famous work with rats shows that when stress exhausts the adrenal glands (so they are unable to produce normal amounts of cortisone and related steroid hormones), arthritis and other "degenerative" diseases are likely to develop. But when this man went to his doctor to "get something for his arthritis," he was annoyed that the doctor insisted on giving him a complete physical exam, and wouldn't give him a shot of cortisone. The examination showed low thyroid function, and the doctor prescribed a supplement of thyroid extract, explaining that arthritis is one of the many symptoms of hypothyroidism. The patient agreed to take the thyroid, but for several days he grumbled about the doctor 'fixing something that wasn't wrong' with him, and ignoring his arthritis. But in less than two weeks, the arthritis had entirely disappeared. He lived to be 89, without a recurrence of arthritis. (He died iatrogenically, while in good health.)"

@hootchy Minimum necessary are TSH, total cholesterol, prolactin, progesterone. Beneficial are PTH, heavy metals, mold, and bacteria. I think you should be able to get all of these through a doctor or the idealabs hair/nails testing kit.
