    And I was looking for the answer on whether FMTs are a guarantor for clearance of fungal abundance in the small intestinal or colonic lumen. Surprisingly, it's a no! It appears to be even the other way round. Here's something interesting IMO about FMTs: Gut fungal dysbiosis correlates with reduced efficacy of fecal microbiota transplantation in Clostridium difficile infection, 2018 In this study, it is shown that CDI is strongly accompanied by over-representation of Candida albicans and decreased fungal diversity, richness, and evenness. Post-FMT, successful responders lack their previous C. albicans dominance but rather display a high relative abundance of Saccharomyces and Aspergillus. High abundance of C. albicans in donor stool also correlates with reduced FMT efficacy. In essence, therefore, annihilation of Candida dominance in CDI patients is crucial for FMT success and arguable it could be much advisable to pre-/co-treat any CDI with antifungals along with either ABx or FMT. Another study showed contrasting results of FMT on UC: Fungal Trans-kingdom Dynamics Linked to Responsiveness to Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) Therapy in Ulcerative Colitis, 2020 Herein they showed that in contrast to FMT in CDI, clinically successful response to FMT in UC very much depended on high Candida abundance at baseline, which decreased after FMT. The authors argue that the prior Candida dominance may provide a specific niche for bacterial engraftment, ameliorating UC. So, the very opposite of the pre-conditions in CDI. However, what the authors do not talk about in their text but what their graphs clearly show is the following caveat: UC patients with a low relative Candida abundance at baseline did not only not clinically benefit from the FMT, but their dysbiosis, inflammation and Candida levels post-FMT was mostly even larger than before (confounders? Small sample size?): [image: 1-s2.0-S1931312820301700-fx1.jpg] [image: 1-s2.0-S1931312820301700-gr2.jpg]´

    I noticed the reprint of Nutrition for Women says "100 short articles by Ray Peat, PHD," where the old one said "92...". What did they add to it? Also, note that From PMS to Menopause is for sale on Peat's website but not Amazon, and Peat's website doesn't have Generative Energy. Weird. I wonder if Katherine gets more of the money if you order from Peat's site. I'd imagine so.

    I’ve been using two drops 8mg of thymoquinone of the current formulation right before bed on my tongue. Sleeping extra good. Don’t wake up at all until alarm clock except some recent thunderstorms. I replaced 4 drops of Kuinone on tongue before bed. I like the effects of Tuinone better. More calming. For black seed oil seems like if you had an extra strength oil 7.5% TQ you’d need about a teaspoon of the product and would be getting lots of Pufa and other things that aren’t thymoquinone

    @alfredoolivas Perhaps, but I'm not certain. I actually was eating a lot more kale recently (maybe 150g a day) for a week and I did notice I had lost some weight (like 5lbs), but I was also walking in nature more at the time. I'll try incorporating it more consistently and get back to you.

    @jd_au I tend to identify that hypothyroidism in/around the forums with people that are very melodramatic. They often latch onto various forms of obscurantist mysticism babble when this is exactly the mindset that Ray fought against through most of his work, which was materialistically informed.

    @nicemushroom17 said in Salicylate sensitivity: MCT oil or coconut oil I get cystic pimples Coconut oil is viricide. Maybe it makes the LPS charge heavier. Possibility. Not sure. Listen to your feeling. Wait for an improvement. Then take it back but very moderately. Much fat has a laxative effect too.

    Some additional warming foods. Peatbot.com: Warming foods are typically those that help maintain or increase body temperature, often by supporting metabolism or providing a comforting, warming sensation. Based on the context provided, some examples of warming foods might include: Milk and Dairy Products: Milk, cheese, and other dairy products can be warming, especially when consumed warm or as part of a hot dish. Eggs: Eggs can be a warming food, particularly when cooked in ways that retain their nutrients, such as soft boiling. Bone Broths and Soups: Consomme, ox-tail soup, and other gelatin-rich broths are warming and nourishing. Meats with Saturated Fats: Meats like brisket with a saturated fat layer, lamb shanks, and ox tail are warming due to their fat content and the way they are often prepared (e.g., roasted or slow-cooked). Coconut Oil and Butter: These fats are considered warming and can be used in cooking or added to foods for extra warmth. Tropical Fruits: While some tropical fruits are allergenic to certain individuals, ripe and organic tropical fruits like sapotas and lychees can be warming. Honey: As a natural sweetener, honey can be warming, especially when used in warm beverages or dishes. Well-Cooked Potatoes: Potatoes, especially when cooked with butter or cream, can be warming and comforting. These foods not only provide warmth but also support metabolic processes, which can help maintain body temperature.

    @Corngold said in Donald Trump defies the laws of aging. An obese, garbage food eating insomniac conquered the world at 78 (politics aside): Humanity is about humanity in the literal sense of the word "about." But language is not about language. We have to understand that people are using language and thought, and that is what is shaping language and thought, which makes language "about" language. It's rather about a discourse. "Discourse determines how knowledge is formed, legitimized, and applied in society. It limits what is thinkable and unthinkable, visible and invisible, normal and deviant." Moreover, tamed people most often reinforce certain discourses and build tools (e.g. Facebook or cryptocurrencies) that support them. And then they tame people even more... I.e. there is a constant interaction between people (culture), tools, and narratives with various feedback loops between them... In other words, Heidegger is writing for a particular time and place. He should be read more like a novel or a painting. Yep. BTW Why are these ancient German old farts still being squeezed? Currently, we have far better interpreters of reality like for example Mexican Miguel DeLanda or Korean-German Byung-chul Han...

    @crwn1 said in Peaty protocol to help with chronic inflammation: recovering from chronic inflammation of soft tissue (tendons muscles) in the back? Useful info I'd try to match if ... The Abdominal-Lumbar Muscle Strap Stop the Abdominal Massacre and Strap Your Six-Pack Stomach (abs) Figure: No back flexion (lying down, hands behind your head, army style, raising and bringing your head closer to your knees). [image: 1741947791930-dos-abdos-arm%C3%A9e.%C3%A0-%C3%A9viter.gif] Stop the massacre because, with each such flexion, you compress the viscera and push them downward, says Dr. Fabrice Kuhn, sports physician, triathlete, and nutrition specialist. F. Kuhn was the doctor for the French weightlifting teams. What needs to be optimized is blood circulation and the supply of nutrients to the back muscles. There's no need to punish yourself with push-ups or sit-ups. There is a solution to firm up all your abdominal muscles. It's called core strengthening (“gainage”, in French) What is core strengthening? Core strengthening is the strengthening of the abdominal-lumbar muscle girdle: it is the whole of the abdominal muscles, and not only the rectus abdominis which form the famous "six packs", but also the transverse and obliques, and the para-spinal muscles (particularly the lumbar). Together, these muscles go around your trunk, like a sheath. This is why we talk about core strengthening. How will core strengthening help you? Core strengthening also has a direct benefit in combating lower back pain. However, core strengthening exercises will be even more beneficial when integrated into a comprehensive program that also targets the muscles of the limbs. In any case, you will be more efficient in everyday movements and reduce the risk of injury and lumbago or lower back pain. Good exercises to work your abdominal muscles Static core strengthening (frontal plank with support on the knees). Dynamic core strengthening (back plank with support on the feet +/- close to the buttocks). Instability core strengthening (Swiss ball) Note 1: Tips to avoid the risk of hernias, perineal relaxation, incontinence, intervertebral disc compression, lumbago, sciatica, etc. => Be careful to keep your buttocks, trunk, and head aligned to avoid postural imbalance. Core strengthening should focus on an isometric regimen (contraction without lengthening). Each movement should be held in the major part of the body for 10 to 20 seconds. Alternate.

Preferably applied after a red infrared session (2 minutes are sufficient) or a bath if not possible.

    *...as George Steiner said, one of, if not the most, advanced theoretical minds of the Western civilization in the 20th century adopted this particular course and he did it because he believed that you cannot have a society where death has no meaning, because life has no meaning. And you cannot have a society which bases itself upon the absence of the religious urge, however you define that urge and whatever system you use. Because if you do the reverse you will end up with a society which has two values beyond subsistence. And that could be seen in the title of a grubby play produced in London a couple of years ago called "Shopping and Fornication". But that is all that life is, if you do not have spiritual levels based upon that. People will always be completely divided about the forms and the language that they use to talk about cardinal matters. But in a way, in a quite moving way really, Heidegger is attempting to get people to face in early modernity what it means to have a civilization and, not to be human, but to live with profound and real meaning. There’s no doubt that this theoretical postulation and this extreme abstraction is quite alien to certain elements of the Western civilization, certainly our own quadrant of it during the last couple of hundred years (Britain). But it is an attempt, not to aestheticize life, but to place life, ultimately, at the service of God, even and most especially for people who either don’t believe in him or can only approach such numinence through endless tiers of theory.* - Jonathan Bowden.

    At worst. You took a novel kind of ACE inhibitor that acts for 6 months at best. RAAS and pulmonary function are intricately linked. Pulmonary disturbance is a known and temporary outcome. But for the time scale, it's unlikely that's your cause. TL;DR, don't worry about it. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7670268/
