@dapose said in Evidence for a connection between coronavirus disease-19 and exposure to radiofrequency radiation from wireless communications including 5G: Millimeter wavelength 5 g waves have some punch. The actual footprint of this rollout is practically microscopic and the airtime is worse. Five gee is practically 3GHz, FM and AM coding changes on existing spectrum, and marketing. LTE is just all talk. How did you become aware the p word was a happening and get berated if you failed to stand in a marked box like a flamingo. How did hospitals receive protocol updates with variable interpretation. In fact what tends to precede everything generally bad. Right? Ok then. Yes.

@Mauritio really cool

@evan-hinkle said in Inosine directly binds and blocks the endotoxin/LPS receptor (TLR4): @Ecstatic_Hamster this is actually what I do now, but the day after my dose of charcoal typically slows my transit time, and for whatever reason I just can’t feel optimal without daily consistency, (I assume due to years of unchecked, and totally undiagnosed low-grade sepsis). My hope is to be able to antagonize TLR4 while maintaining fast, complete, and regular transit. Otherwise forward progress for me tends to be a bit like sprinting on a treadmill, (I don’t move forward, just keep-up so to speak). doing the honey diet with intermittent reset days, bowel movements are loose enough and fast enough so the charcoal is absolutely beneficial to me, and not a problem at all, quite the opposite.

@Acephale So this would explain why I feel super fragile/emotional taking 100mg oral prometium and can barely function (due to fatigue) after 7 days of consistent nightly use? Would not taking it orally reduce this issue?

@LucH, thank you for the post and reference to your site. Luckily, I read in French :). Didn't know this concentration-dependent action of LPB protein. Will have to study more.

Foods high in inulin include: . [image: 1760102227941-067914cc-9a07-423a-9ef9-2d4bf895548d-image.png] The Importance of Prebiotics in Functional Foods and Clinical Practice (2011)

@DavidPS A good strategy when investigating foods is to explore their profile from a traditional medicine perspective. This gives an insight into the items more subtle properties which are equally as important as it's physical properties. Often it tells you things which a "conventional" analysis (eg a scientific study on Nutmeg's influence on digestive transit time) wouldn't, or which a "conventional" way of thinking would overlook. Personally I find the traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) take on foods easy to understand, more so than the Indian Ayurvedic one. TCM is orientated for medicinal intentions but the info is applicable for general day-to-day use. Here's the TCM profile for Nutmeg: TCM category: Herbs that stabilize and bind TCM nature: Warm TCM taste: Pungent Meridian affinity: Large intestine, Spleen, Stomach Dosage: 3 - 9 grams [for medicinal purposes] Key Actions: Warms the Spleen and Stomach, circulates Qi. Protects the Intestines and stops diarrhea. Medicinal Uses: Diarrhea / Abdominal pain / Vomiting / Loss of appetite / Abdominal bloating Here's the TCM profile for coffee: TCM nature: Warm TCM taste: Bitter, Pungent/Acrid Meridian affinity: Liver, Spleen, Heart Key Actions: Regulates the flow of Qi, Opens the Heart, Clears toxins, Cleanses the Gallbladder, Warms and Moves Blood Medicinal Uses: Regulates menses, relieves headaches, lifts the spirit, energizes, promotes mental clarity, improves circulation, prevents gallstones, regulates constipation, boosts metabolism, promotes urination, eliminates toxins For some contrast, here's the TCM profile for milk: TCM nature: Slightly cold TCM taste: Sweet Meridian affinity: Heart, Lung, Stomach Key Actions: Tonify deficiency, Tonify the Lung and Stomach, Promote the secretion of body fluid, Moisten the Intestines, Tonify Blood and remove Toxicity. Medicinal Uses: Weakness, physical strain, constipation, diabetes, regurgitation, dysphagia. Dosage and Administrations: Boil it beforehand Cautions: It is contraindicated in case of deficiency cold in Spleen and Stomach. As you can see, TCM offers a rich context for interpreting herbs/spices/foods. The point of TCM is restoring and maintaining balance. In this context, nutmeg's warming nature would be balanced by mixing with something cooling like milk or cheese. This also applies to the body condition, if the body is in a cold condition then adding nutmeg will warm things up. This isn't referring to temperature! There are some subtleties which might cause someone accustomed to the typical Western modality to do a "double take". Eg on a super hot day drinking warm peppermint tea is more effective than ice cold water. IMHO the Ray Peat approach would greatly benefit from incorporating TCM principles. TCM would be the icing on the cake so to speak. I wonder if Ray ever peeked into the world of TCM, no doubt he would have found it fascinating and worthwhile. I bet you it would have influenced his recommendations, for example... only drink warm liquids (especially milk)...explains why OG Chinese prefer warm OJ/water add warming spices to dairy (milk/cheese) combine sugar/honey/maple syrup with things to mitigate "dampness" (dampness not good) combine heavy meals with warming spices/herbs which aid digestion combine coffee with an item that mitigates dryness, eg dairy adds moisture (in excess = damp) and notably...avoid cold ice cream (!). The issue there is that ice cream is composed of cooling/cold/damp ingredients, and the item itself is frozen - double whammy. At the very least, Ray would have said to add warming/hot spices like ginger which seems most suitable. Powdered ginger, candied ginger etc. In a tropical sunny environment, items with a cooling/cold nature can be better tolerated, whilst in a cold environment items with a hot/warming nature are preferable. Again, this isn't referring to temperature.
