@oliveoil I hit every RDA on 95% of days. It's not that difficult with a diet largely based around milk. A diet composed mostly of milk, eggs, beef, orange juice, and certain nutrient dense leafy vegetables like spinach makes it very easy. Espresso is also an incredibly good source of B3, B7, and magnesium, all of which are somewhat difficult to get enough of (B3 is easy with enough meat but difficult without). Track nutrient intake with cronometer.

Digging a bit deeper into refs 8 and 26 in my post above.

(8) UV radiation suppresses experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis independent of vitamin D production
by Bryan R Becklund , Kyle S Severson, Souriya V Vang, Hector F DeLuca

From the abstract:

Our results indicate that continuous treatment with UVR dramatically suppresses clinical signs of [the experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis] EAE. Interestingly, disease suppression occurs with only a modest, transient increase in serum 25(OH)D(3) levels. Further analysis demonstrated that the levels of 25(OH)D(3) obtained upon UVR treatment were insufficient to suppress EAE independent of UVR treatment. These results suggest that UVR is likely suppressing disease independent of vitamin D production, and that vitamin D supplementation alone may not replace the ability of sunlight to reduce MS susceptibility.

(26) Suppression of experimental autoimmune encephalomyelitis by ultraviolet light is not mediated by isomerization of urocanic acid
by Amy A. Irving, Steven J. Marling, Lori A. Plum, and Hector F. DeLuca

From the Discussion:

It is clear that ultraviolet B exposure efficiently prevents EAE, though we find no evidence to support [urocanic acid] UCA isomerization as the mediator of this suppression. This is not the first study to discount UCA as a mediator of UV immunosuppression, or that UCA administration does not mimic the effects of UV exposure.

@basebolt For sure, that's the chart I was looking at.

@AlphaCog

Hmm, quite interesting, thanks for sharing.

@Mulloch94 said in levated TSH is an independent risk factor for Major Depressive Disorder and Metabolic Syndrome.:

Good to know, thank you!

A propos

Newly released review this May. What's interesting here is many doctors won't consider someone for thyroid therapy unless their TSH is >5.0 mIU/L. So you're pretty much on your own if you're so called "subclinically" hypothyroid.

@haidut i think it's more likely that they have a healthy metabolism and that that leads to high testosterone and low risk for diabetes.

@yerrag said in Vitamin D deficiency may drive myopia, supplementing may prevent/treat it:

I hope though, that the evolution if the field of bioenergetics would see us sharing more success stories.

Success is not as much the taking of individual substances as magic bullets. It is more a process of seeing each substance as a role player than a star that leads one to the championship and winning it. It is a team effort, and there is a process to it.

I totally agree.

Thanks for sharing Georgi! Awesome study!

I work with vaccines in healthcare. The below conclusion of a study used to have some interest. Now you hear nothing about it anymore. I'm still very suspicious.

The US childhood immunization schedule requires 26 vaccine doses for infants aged less than 1 year, the most in the world, yet 33 nations have better IMRs. Using linear regression, the immunization schedules of these 34 nations were examined and a correlation coefficient of 0.70 (p < 0.0001) was found between IMRs and the number of vaccine doses routinely given to infants. When nations were grouped into five different vaccine dose ranges (12–14, 15–17, 18–20, 21–23, and 24–26), 98.3% of the total variance in IMR was explained by the unweighted linear regression model. These findings demonstrate a counter-intuitive relationship: nations that require more vaccine doses tend to have higher infant mortality rates.

Efforts to reduce the relatively high US IMR have been elusive. Finding ways to lower preterm birth rates should be a high priority. However, preventing premature births is just a partial solution to reduce infant deaths. A closer inspection of correlations between vaccine doses, biochemical or synergistic toxicity, and IMRs, is essential. All nations—rich and poor, advanced and developing—have an obligation to determine whether their immunization schedules are achieving their desired goals.

@Norwegian-Mugabe said in PUFA can cause male infertility by inhibiting oxidative metabolism (OXPHOS):

People will let other men impregnate their wife before fixing their diets.

Wow, where did this come from? I had to reread the original post twice. Nope, this comment is a complete nonsequitur.

So, would a supplement like Magnesium Lactate be a cause for concern?

@Emilia your best bet is to convince tardchan that Peat is a subversive antistasi and a quick low-profile subversion of his enemies (actual wins are the ones that go unnoticed) is to hackerchan the rationalwiki using all tactics possible (I condemn such actions). This will be the most realistic practical way to yield results.

Or, spend 2 years getting into their inner circle, and slowly counter edit in inconspicuous ways that actually undermines their credibility further. Ply some toxic femininity here for best results.
