But in the event kidney's have reduced ability to get rid of calcium, and CCB's increase the extracellular Ca from PTH stimulation, you might be left in precarious situation where you actually feel better not taking the CCBs despite higher BP. And it would explain why you respond well to magnesium too, as it's ability to modulate PTH independent of calcium networks.

The kidney is the least of my concern. I have posted many times in RPF on why the use of serum creatinine as a basis for determining kidney health is bogus. I believe it's one of the biggest lies or myths in medicine. It's because I use the creatinine clearance test based on collecting urine for 24 hours to help determine the glomerular filtration rate. The results are better than something that really is an estimate (the e in eGFR clearly means that) based on age, sex, race - which I consider highly unusable in a setting where science means anything.

I believe that the main cause of kidney dysfunction is simply poor acid-base balance. This leads to internal calcification, towards the development of fibrosis. If we just know how to keep our acid-base balance, many issues that vex us would be a non-issue. Kidney dysfunction is one of them. Cancer another.

@SummerPeach that stuff is so expensive tho :/. Especially since Im not even sure I have The Hpylor. Doctor never even mentioned H pylori or any diagnosis for that fact lmao. Im gonna try get an appointment for gastroscopy in a week when im back there although idk if they can even see it ig at least they can tell if i need to take still this ppi shit due to ulcer or sth or no

BTW, I'm serious about the latter part. As bioenergeticists, we believe that most/all diseases are brought about by broken or sub-optimal metabolism. If it's true, then this protocol should also serve to potentially solve type2 diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, IBS, dementia, alzheimers, OBESITY, and autoimmune diseases like MLS, Lupus, etc.

I have heart disease. I'm going to try this protocol and see what happens. I'm already taking B1, low-dose B3, and aspirin daily. I just need to adjust the amounts a bit and add in some biotin.

This morning I have started this protocol. If this helps restore my oxidative phosphorylation to youthful levels then not only does this cure cancer but it should broadly cure other metabolic diseases.

30 days starts now. I will re-evaluate ~June 15 assuming I don't run into an issue that forces me to abandon this early.

@DukesBobby777 No, i didn't, because this drug eventually would be too expensive to keep doing it. Actually, i'm on Mirtazapine 30mg, an atypical antidepressant that it's a serotonin antagonist very similar to Metergoline bc it acts specifically of the 5-ht2 receptors and i'm getting good results (althought i'm thinking about increasing the dose to 45mg). If you have high serotonin symptoms i would give it a try, I get the prescription monthly from my psychiatrist and since I started it my symptoms have drastically reduced

@Santosh This is interesting. Thanks for sharing your experience! Do you mind sharing your protocol/dosing? Also why only 2 weeks and how long inbetween did you wait before starting your next 2 weeks?

@onliest damn thats right

@Mallard6146 said in Post-Viral Illness:

Thanks guys.

You're welcome.

I’ll get prolactin checked this week too. Will look at adding the DHEA and cortisol tests also.

Good. You may send updates here too.

Ordered some T3 a while back. I tried it last fall and 12.5mcg did eliminate all symptoms for a day. I only took it once though as I was worried about continuing on using an exogenous hormone.

Yep, first diagnosis, then relevant lifestyle, and dietary changes. Hormones should be used only if any other ways fail...

Have you tried to assess your thyroid with a natural method? I.e. measuring temperature and pulse upon waking and then after breakfast for a few days.

Are you already applying Ray Peat's principles/advice in your daily life and nutrition/supplementation? How is your sleep quality?

What about doxycycline? I read a lot of info. on the other forum about its anti-cancer properties.

@cs3000 I can bear witness to this.

When I was suffering from a year long condition that started with bronchitis, my eyelids were drooping. The lack of the usual amount of oxygen easily translates into low energy. And my eyelids were a good tell.

@Regina said in New "Mission" of RPF:

@Jennifer Those are really cool thoughts Jennifer. Thanks for bringing them up.

Oh, thank you, Regina. My pleasure. 🙂

@chudlord Great stuff thanks!

For those who can get it, a nice hack is tomato sauce or sea salt with truffle extracts. Makes it very easy to add a tiny bit of it everyday.

@hwisdom Jesus that's an enormous amount lmao. I guess 200g/week is enough.

@Jakeandpace Probably, or maybe they just remove problematic foods from their diet. Big thing about "peaters" (I've never liked that word, lol) is the dairy/milk. There's a shit ton of people that don't tolerate milk, so when they remove it they feel better. That doesn't mean vitamin A is bad, or calcium, or lactose, or whatever else they can think of. It means they continued to try and force a food that wasn't agreeing with them due to some misconception that a "way of life" (in this case peating) necessitates that they do so.

@shedim interesting. Is there any risk of staining teeth? Are you saying you actually had bone regrowth doing this?

@Mulloch94 For sure, I wasn't managing at all without taking it every day but I can go about 2 days now so it's progress. I have oysters canned in water or fresh-ish local beef liver when I feel the need for vitamin A aside from fatty dairy.

I miss my Dad. He was the type to do everything his doctor said so unfortunately it was just a matter of time.

@stag

Can progesterone be taken indefinitely, or does the body become capable to unregulate processes that start to clear what it deems as elevated levels of a hormone?

I'm sure Haidut has mentioned that before. Homeostasis is such a b!tch. Just let me have my fun.

Dietary and environmental toxins? Not ingesting or being exposed as much as reasonably possible. Then vitamins and minerals take over from there. The way i've understood it, you need just a bit more than what your body uses for itself, any excess will often move on to secondary duties like toxin removal or mitigation. Ideally it would be a steady supply also.

Just a sample list but Zinc is good for certain toxins, Selenium and Copper for others, B1, Vit-C, Glycine etc etc.

Be extremely careful with some of the detox protocols you may have stumbled upon, research them well before attempting.
