@wester130 said in Help me with a pro-metabolic protein drink with lesser known ingredients:

@Mulloch94 would dissolving the bcaa in orange juice mask the taste?

Maybe, I find the bcaas to be bitter. My shake with milk, blueberries, bcaa, and honey (recently omitted bananas) tastes really good. So I know that combination works. It doesn't work in oatbran though, very bad, lol.

@Insomniac said in Dr John McDougall dead age 77:

@Mulloch94 The community knows exactly what happened here. It was the sweet potatoes. Killed by carotanemia and/or hypervitaminosis A

Haha, dude was looking a little orangey wasn't he 🙄 🤣

Edit: To be entirely fair and not make a complete spectacle of their views, it is reasonable to believe McDougall viewed carotene as a good thing. I don't know enough about him to confirm this as the case, but considering he was against animal forms of vitamin A it almost forces his hand here. Nevertheless, his wasting seemed to be a big driver to the decline of his health, just from a pure visual look at least.

@Joseph12 not recently, I haven’t checked fasting insulin.
I’m using an unknown brand of thyroid, but I don’t think it matters because it’s clearly having an effect on my blood markers, so it’s real thyroid.
It’s also clear that I my problem is cellular hypothyroidism, something is blocking the effect of T3. Also conversion is poor due to intestinal/ liver issues.

@jamezb46
nothing - I meant increase the vitamin E/olive oil to 90% and make the rest 10% Food Grade Ethanol

Now foods Vitamin E is 95% vitamin E/5% Olive oil

"The Vitamin E content is >95% and the balance is olive oil.

Anything that increases androgens and lowers stress hormones. In my experience when I have increased androgens using DHEA and Progesterone combined with Androsterone it greatly increased volume. Also try to refrain from ejaculating for a few days and you will notice a big difference.

Cistance I also found to be very powerful.

@Norwegian-Mugabe thankyou. I'll try 140g maximum.

@Norwegian-Mugabe thanks!

Thank you.

I made a note.

Thank you.

@Mauritio
If high dosing thiamine, also watch out for magnesium issues, potassium (I rely on OJ), zinc, riboflavin (yes!).

@AkJono

Thanks!

the problem is - who has time to do this?

The eye habits would interfere with your entire life, driving etc

You could only do the eye habits in your spare time

@insufferable said in Why are women today, the non fat ones, better looking than women back then?:

I don't think it's makeup, the generations really do look different. I don't know why.

I think I remember a study that identified how skull shapes (within the same ethnicity) are changing over the last 100 years, but I can't find it.

Just found something:
https://news.utk.edu/2012/05/30/american-heads-getting-larger/
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27737575/

Skulls have gotten higher, narrower, longer, and larger apparently.

You can look at old pictures, compare them to modern ones, and you can see the narrower and longer change. I noticed it many years ago looking at old pictures.

I guess it's happening for the same reason people are getting taller, this is the same phenomenon happening to the skull. @Crimkadid on twitter talks about stuff like this a lot.

@Regina you know the human condition hexed by ideas like love thy enemy and take up your cross lol

Hello everyone, let's talk about:

Apple cider vinegar

Adding 1 tbsp to a glass of water (preferably filtered or naturally sourced) appears to be an insane lindy trick.

Remember our ancestors mostly drank lightly alcoholic beverages (light beers or wine or posca) throughout the day, to rid of the parasites in untreated water.

According to Dr Eric Berg, ACV :

helps break oxalate dissolves kidney stones (by breaking calcium compounds) helps retain potassium other little things

While I'm unsure about the mechanism, I trust Dr Eric Berg that it's a simple and easy way to make a change for the better regarding kidney health. See his channel for the whole case: https://youtube.com/@Drberg/search?query=apple vinegar

I am currently testing it to ease out kidney pain in the morning, and I believe it's working -- but I'll report more later. Intense summer heat has me being less optimally hydrated than usual.
I'm doing 1L of water with 1-2 tbsp of ACV.

Crohn disease
The main clinical signs are abdominal pain, prolonged diarrhea, the emission of bloody mucus, a possible palpable mass in the right iliac pit, moderate fever, asthenia and weight loss. Biologically, there is an accelerated ESR, increased CRP (reactive Protein-C), light anemia, leukocytosis with polynucleosis and hypo-albuminemia.
Note: Erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are two markers in the blood that measure levels of inflammation.
For JS, Crohn's disease has a mechanism similar to that of colitis. The severity of the Crohn’s would be due to a difference in the waste to be eliminated, perhaps a stronger quantity, often a more complex structure. The activation of several varieties of leukocytes and the secretion of multiple pro-inflammatory cytokines cause the release and activation of matrix metaloproteinases which degrade tissues, which can generate fistulas, cracks, large abscesses and fibrous strenosis (Shanahan 2002).
The proportion of various cells and cytokines in the infiltrate suggests a much more inflammatory than immune response (Mac Dermott et al. 1993), which is corroborated by the absence of association between Crohn and HLA and the ineffectiveness of the Ciclosporin which reduces the immune response in vain (Sandborn 1995). Crohn’s is related to the pathology of elimination and not to autoimmunity. Crohn’s is for Seignalet a giant colitis, a multifactorial pathology (bacteria and food).
In Crohn's disease, certain foods have awakened certain symptoms (diarrhea, pain), even a simple exclusion diet would have put these symptoms under the nod: it is interesting to note that cereals, milk and some cooked products appear frequently challenging for patients. And JS cites case studies carried out on his patients.
The results
The hypotoxic diet has been implemented in 99 cases of Crohn’s, but he will only retain the 72 patients for whom the decline is more than one year. The results are 62 frank success, with complete or almost complete remission, 9 more nuanced results and one single true failure. JS comment
Nutritional change can remove ulcers, micro-abscess and inflammatory granulomas; in short, the inflammatory process characteristic of the Crohn’s. But it can do nothing against certain definitive lesions, such as cracks, fistulas, macro-abscess and fibrous stenosis.
