    In this human study using 1.5g/day, they saw some liver fat reduction, but unfortunetly no change in weight. So not all the benefits of the OP study seem to translate to humans. https://bioenergetic.forum/topic/2872/camu-camu-decreases-hepatic-steatosis-and-liver-injury-markers-in-overweight-hypertriglyceridemic-individuals-a-randomized-crossover-trial?_=1788701319075

    @ChroncStresChris Re "calcium d-glucarate, caffeine + K2, CO2, TUDCA, taurine, and niacinamide", That's a good idea of yours to focus on strengthening your liver. I would first try plain milk or eggshell powder for the calcium. They're less likely to cause digestive difficulty. Caffeine and k2 should be helpful, as well as should co2. I think I would drop the tudca coz the taurine takes care of what it would do (it's actually what I did for myself: bought it but soon after starting stopped using it) I'd also start with trying to get the nutrients from actual food, eg caffeine from coffee/tea, k2 and b vitamins from liver, taurine from seafood... And finally I guess you're also planning to get quality protein from things like cheese and eggs (along with something sweet like coke or orange juice to prevent triggering stress hormones) Good luck

    @Jennifer Haha, that is funny.  Ice cream was the answer.  I think in our very modern and very deficient world, love is a component in healing, beyond the technical and mechanical parts of healing needed.  Love is indeed a powerful thing; even beyond the emotional response, the deeper security and hope that love provides.  A strange coincidence, I received an email today for an ebook on sale on this very subject.  I prefer physical books, but the price of ebooks is just too good to pass up for my budgeted life these days. I realize not everyone wants or needs everything broken down academically: to use an analogy I've heard, some just want to eat the apple, they don't have to look at it in a microscope. Books and authors are a personal taste, no doubt, but just in case it would interest you:  https://www.amazon.com/Four-Loves-C-S-Lewis-ebook/dp/B01EFM8NI4 I was not aware of the cloudy egg white, as evidence of more CO2.  Interesting.  I did notice the egg whites were a bit cloudy just recently, but thought that was due to the cold of the refrigerator.  I've never had Nounós yogurt, but it does indeed look to be the cream of the crop.  I like the A2 and the glass container.  Next time I make it to Whole Foods, which is hardly never these days, I'll look for it. I agree with your egg perspective.  I eat 2-4 a day myself.  I've been considering adding some of Haidut's vitamin E several times a week, but since my PUFA is quite low in general, I don't worry too much about it.  Wow, hives from the lichen-derived.  (And I see I used the word mushroom-derived in error.)  I think I'll look for lanolin-derived.  I don't feel well on the vitamin D3 supplement I have, which I think is synthetic.  But I don't feel well on any supplements.  I think Haidut's D3 was a little better, but I don't completely remember.  It's been years since I've had his. Yeah, grounding.  I haven't done that is a while. That does look like good mayo that you linked, as far as store bought goes.  And 17oz for $9 is actually not too bad.  It would cost me a few dollars more to make it myself, but I see that I would be able to use a better olive oil.  I promise, I'm not dogging your mayo , I'm just attempting to be objective in my evaluation.  I would take your olive mayo over all the soy based mayos any day.  Coincidentally, I did just make mayo after my last message and it didn't take at first.  Really, it's one of my least favorite things to make.  I can be a bit neurotic in my quest for quality, so I'll continue to do it until I really lose my patience with it.  I believe the problem is that I was using bottled lemon juice versus fresh.

    @PrinceTrebata very ho behaviour not replying. Sorry. I stopped the back ones and still don’t do them( I am still catabolic! Not getting stronger in the gym! Back aches! Bone hurts!) despite getting more than enough protein. This is perfect btw. I am not trying to be anabolic, as that usually entails with some sort of fat growth or water retention from AAS. But that’s a different story more suited for the moggy chicken Currently have been and am doing high seat biking. If I recover (hopefully when I slowly ramp up the calories), and those issues go away, I’ll throw in the stretches and stretching machine. If I find a sustainable routine with time.

    @hcwilliams Ray recommended the slow approach. -Remove PUFAs from the diet -More carbs -Antilipolytics (B3, aspirin, etc.) -Other “saturators” (such as policosanol and perhaps the ones you mentioned) -T3 supplementation(which has a PUFA-depleting effect when you've already limited them in your diet) That way, you limited the PUFAs’ access to the mitochondria and could safely eliminate them through glucuronidation. The effect is the same as what I mentioned in one of my earlier comments. If a sample were taken, the tissues would have very low levels of PUFAs, so you could eliminate them in a controlled manner, which isn’t the case for most peaters, since losing fat isn’t really a concern for most of them. In that case, every time too much stored PUFAs were released, the situation would change. If someone has the patience to wait 4–6 years for that, I don't see why they shouldn't plan for gradual weight loss as well. You can easily lose 10–20 kg over that time without even worrying about it. Peaters madness

    HEAR ME OUT AND OBEY. Gaze at the sky, the great blue sky. Never directly at the sun. Everyday. Initially it will strain your eyes. Dont overstress. Just do what you can do. It will regulate your biologic watch. Make your bedroom extremelly dark to get a restful sleep. Look for ways to rest and regenerate your eyes. Ex. Eating raw egg yolk makes my eyes less prone to light sensibility, eating salted raw carrot with little lemon improves guts health and lowers estrogen - great cause of eye health decay. "I will stay behind, to gaze at the sun. The sun is a wondrous body. Like a magnificent father! If only I could be so grossly incandescent!"

    @user1 To some degree, yes. The Orsense device measures hemoglobin via light sensors. When I have donated blood over the past 2 years, they have used this device to measure hemoglobin- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkeD7ybugHk I don't know if you could tell much difference with the naked eye. Plus, if you see blood outside the body, it's going to be reacting with oxygen and clotting, both things that would make it darker and thicker. Also, while people with higher iron levels tend to have higher hemoglobin, it's a very rough guideline. People with certain types of anemias can even have high iron levels. And for most people, you can raise hemoglobin levels with a B complex. During de-ironing, I actually got hemoglobin to go up while ferritin was going down by using a B Complex and/or an iron free multivitamin with the same B Vitamins.

    thread for full run-down of what viruses and virus associated illnesses actually are

    @sunsunsun said: apparently detection of viruses in ill people isnt really proof that this is causing the illness This is obviously true. You can observe all sorts of things on a sick person that probably have no effect on them being sick, like dandruff. Many sick people have dandruff, but is dandruff the cause of the illness? Even just sticking with microbes, it's obviously true. Both sick and healthy people have a gut biome, which is made up of several strains of bacteria, numbering into the trillions of individual cells. In any so called "viral" disease, the presence of trillions of bacteria in the gut are overlooked as a factor. Truthfully, even other "viruses" are neglected to be tested. As an example, when people were tested for the "Novel Corona Virus," they neglected to test for all the previous "Corona Viruses," as well as other "common cold and flu viruses." If you ran tests for 20 different "viruses" that are thought to cause cold and flu symptoms (and therefore, "Covid Symptoms" because there is a 100% overlap), and 7 came back positive, how could you claim that any single "virus" was responsible for the symptoms? It's actually worse than that, because EVERY "virus detection" test is actually a surrogate test. There is no way to directly test for ANY virus, not for the general public or in scientific studies. If there is no way to directly detect any virus, then how can you possibly create a remotely accurate surrogate test? Simply stated, there isn't, and in the case of Covid, the hundreds of millions of "asymptomatic patients" prove that. some people say covid isnt real, there's that tanksnowgood guy on rpf who constantly goes on about how there no such thing. when I got wuflu (I assume thats what it was) I got obscenely ill for 2 weeks and also experienced the weird sewage smell stuff and various other similar weird symptoms a lot of people describe. The claim that "covid isn't real" is really a claim that the alleged "Novel Corona Virus," aka SARS-Cov2 doesn't exist. Obviously, the symptoms people got when they got so called Covid are real. Things like coughing and fever can be easily observed in the real world. But the symptoms don't prove the cause. If you read the "Covid Isolation Reports," you can see that in truth, they never "isolated" anything. They took a sample from a sick person, along with all the potential other microbes, added to it a mixture of monkey kidney cells (aka, Vero cells), some antibiotics, some digestive enzymes like trypsin, Fetal Bovine serum, and cultured it in a medium that didn't provide adequate nutrients for cell survival. Then, when the cells showed signs of dying or breaking apart, they claimed that it was the result of an alleged "virus," and dismissed concepts like cell starvation, or the cell being poisoned by the antibiotics, or being ripped apart from the digestive enzymes. Since these "isolation tests" are the ONLY proof of a virus, the conclusion a lot of people have drawn is that SARS-Cov2 (and likely all other viruses) don't actually exist.

    @jd_au said: Keep it simple folks. Still fine for you. However, when taking HD B1, there is a protocol to follow. In short, there is interaction between several vitamins and trace elements. I then asked AI to help clarify the why and the how for other readers. AI says, as if LucH were speaking to JD: Glad it has lasted for you, JD! That is fantastic personal success, and it actually makes perfect sense given the specific combination you used. When you take thyroid hormone alongside thiamine, you are directly addressing the systemic metabolic bottleneck. In the bioenergetic framework Dr. Ray Peat talked about, low thyroid impairs the liver's ability to clear excess estrogen. High estrogen triggers nitric oxide, which over-relaxes (smoothes out) the blood vessels in the lower extremities, causing blood to pool and forcing the heart to beat faster to compensate (POTS). By taking thyroid and thiamine together, you restored cellular energy and vascular tone simultaneously, which is why your results have been so stable. However, for other readers looking to replicate this, it is crucial to understand why standalone High-Dose Thiamine (HD B1) protocols usually require cofactors. Skipping them can cause issues for the average person due to several factors: Magnesium is Mandatory: Thiamine cannot be converted into its active, usable form (thiamine pyrophosphate) without magnesium. Mega-dosing B1 alone rapidly depletes magnesium stores. This frequently triggers severe muscle cramps, anxiety, and heart palpitations, which people often mistake for a worsening of their POTS. The "Paradoxical Reaction": High doses of B1 can kickstart dormant mitochondrial pathways so suddenly that it causes a temporary, severe flare-up of autonomic symptoms. Adequate magnesium, potassium, and baseline nutrition help buffer this transition and prevent a metabolic shock. B-Complex Imbalance: Flooding the system with massive doses of a single B vitamin can eventually create a functional deficiency in other B vitamins (like B2 and B3) that share the same cellular energy pathways. In short, JD's success is a great example of the bioenergetic approach working perfectly because the underlying thyroid and estrogen pieces were addressed. But for most people starting a high-dose thiamine protocol on its own, skipping cofactors like magnesium is a frequent cause of metabolic stalls or severe symptom regressions. Keep it simple, but keep the underlying biochemistry in mind!

    Has anyone tried well cooked mushrooms? There are many people reporting that it shifts the test/e2 ratio incredibly favorably, (better even than AIs). I hate to keep spamming Hans’ substack, but he’s run bloodwork pre-post mushroom experiments, and shown test/e2 rations above 20:1, (might have been 30:1 I don’t remember). Myself personally, (no bloodwork) but since I’ve added 3oz of well cooked mushrooms to each meal, I’ve seen nothing but improvement, (less puffy, zero constipation, reduction in inflammation, better mood etc).

    @hcwilliams Funny you mention this. I just fried some in a pan last night, and then covered it with sage butter, and it was considerably better than without it. Sage butter takes roughly 5 minutes to make, and adds quite a bit of flavor. There are variations of sage butter recipes. Some are as simple as butter and sage, I used butter, sage, salt, and garlic power. If I had more time, I would've used minced garlic. P.S. Maybe most important of all, I soaked it in milk hours before cooking.

    @sunsunsun Usually slow release has a reason it is "slow release;" a chemical reason. That is most likely what is causing disturbances in pup's guts. When used properly, with the right cofactors, which you aptly listed, aspirin is fantastic. Hence, why they paint it in a bad light! This isn't new however. During the first fake pandemic: start of industrializing-rothchildism take-overs-celebrating birth of hypodermic needle-polluting of true medical texts, etc, namely the so-called "spanish flu," which was actually and also vaccine injuries of that time, they totally demonized aspirin. Later as publications were discovered supporting anti-aspirin sentiment, they noticed that upwards of 30 grams!!! of aspirin was used in those studies!

    @wester130 I know nothing of cardamom's specific chemical effects on the body, but I know its one of my favorite spices. Several years ago I made extracts of herbs and spices, with cardamom being one of them. I have to stop myself from using it, so I won't run out...haha. I've mixed it in milk as well, with vanilla and sugar. Sometimes I'll add cocoa for chocolate milk. Now I know why it's so expensive.
