@Blue-Granite you're welcome. I'm happy to try to clarify.

@TexugoDoMel Thank you

@Hypergenic have you tried avoiding dairy, finding a diet which doesn't upset your intestines, adding thyroid and or progesterone, and then trying dairy in small quantities of various forms?

@rayp-flava good enough for me gonna send it on all this thanks brah

@grimdarkkk maybe in menopausal women, but I've never seen or heard any hormonal changes from gelatin/collagen in men. theoretically glycine is supposed to increase DHT and like 30% of collagen/gelatin is glycine, afaik

@periander345 I got the help of a competent endocrinologist to optimized my dose of prescription NP Thyroid by Acella, which is a desiccated thyroid supplement available in the U.S for the treatment of hypothyroidism. I started with 90mg (1.5 grains) of the med with this new endo because this was the dose of Armour desiccated thyroid that I had been taking for over 20 years. The NP Thyroid worked a whole lot better than the Armour and my rheumatoid arthritis inflammation resolved within the first week. The medication was increased about every 6-8 weeks, after full thyroid panels were taken (blood testing) to verify my status. The reason why the medication is titrated up this way is because hypothyroid people tend to run on adrenaline instead of thyroid hormones. The body acclimates to the availability of the supplemented thyroid med and begins to rely on it instead of adrenaline. So the level of adrenaline goes down. Which makes you feel pretty lousy. But then the doctor increases the dose of thyroid med which makes you feel great again. For a few weeks. Then you repeat the blood testing, evaluation, and increase in medication. After 9 months of this process, my endo announced that my blood tests showed that I was taking my optimized dose. I remained on that dose for 5 years. I get evaluated by the endo every 6 months. He lowered my dose end of 2020 because my body changed and my dose became too high, making me hyperthyroid. I now take 135mg of NP Thyroid per day. The status of the thyroid hormones is very important and should be evaluated by blood testing (full thyroid panel) on a regular basis to verify that you are not taking too much because that can cause hyperthyroidism. Hyperthyroidism causes health problems, including thiamine deficiency, which has very similar symptoms as hypothyroidism. It can get really confusing if you are a "do it yourselfer" and are just relying on how you feel.

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
