    Increased Androgens: A pilot study on male volunteers (1 g/day for 1 month) found that DCI administration was associated with a +23.4% increase in testosterone and a +13.8% increase in dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). Reduced Estrogens: In the same study, DCI significantly reduced estrone levels (-85.0%) and reduced estradiol levels (-14.4%). Androgen Precursors: In addition to DHEA, other androgen precursors like epiandrosterone also increased (+39%). Aromatase Inhibition: DCI is believed to act as an aromatase down-modulator (inhibitor), reducing the conversion of androgens (like testosterone) into estrogens (like estradiol and estrone). D-chiro-inositol (DCI) acts to mimic insulin and also stimulate PDHP (pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase), which in turn dephosphorylates and activates PDH (pyruvate dehydrogenase). Acute Post-Meal Reduction: Clinical studies have shown that DCI, often in combination with myo-inositol, can acutely reduce the insulin spike that typically follows glucose or carb intake. Improved Sensitivity: By enhancing the activation of the insulin receptor pathway (specifically IRS2 and GLUT4), DCI allows the insulin already present in your system to work more effectively. Sparing Effect: Because DCI mimics certain insulin actions—like promoting glucose uptake into muscle and fat—it can have an insulin-sparing effect, meaning the body achieves the same blood sugar control with lower systemic insulin levels. taking D-chiro-inositol (DCI) or similar mimetics with carbohydrates can reduce the body's overall need for insulin by improving how cells process glucose.

    @engineer it really depends on what you ordered and what solvent you selected. Not all have options but some do. Which product are you referring to? Georgi will randomly swap out ingredients and or solvents on occasion. Not too often but enough times where I pay close attention to what he is selling “in stock” as an example I order his magnoil which is always a specific form of magnesium in dmso oil. But one time I got the product and I had to squeeze so hard my eyeballs were going to pop out of my head to get one drop. After a week of tripling my grip strength I looked it up and he was out of the normal for of magnesium and put the fill mag in a deferent solvent. I threw the dumb one away and waited for dmso to show up on the website. I’ve seen varying bottle types over the years too.

    also posting here, someone on rpf posted about embryo rice, this is something I am looking into, apparently, and im not sure, it is usually brown rice , and in the package they will also put in the embryo from the processing of other rice into white rice to boost the nutrients. I might be wrong, it might also be brown rice that is only partially processed so that it removes something but retains the embryo, im not sure, it's sold at asian supermarkets and I haven't tried it yet.

    From Dr. Peat: “…So the reason for cooking meat or oysters or fish or whatever is to make sure that you've killed the parasites and microorganisms. There's no nutritional benefit at all from cooking them. https://www.bioenergetic.life/clips/36a61?t=3773&c=80

    @Kilgore Those kind of cravings are mad, consumes your whole mind The problem I have is because I'm always active, my bodies craving fuel constantly. Feels great when I'm having decent amount of carbs with moderate fats and protein but if I'm trying to lose weight I'm just constantly thinking about food at anything less than 3k calories. But with carnivore I could easily drop to 2.5k or even a bit lower and the fats make me feel so full I barely even think about food, outside of occasionally craving fruit/rice. I might just switch for a couple of weeks, I know it's not optimal but I'd rather do that for 2-3 weeks and get lean and get back to eating properly instead of trying to work a small calorie deficit for with carbs for a longer period.

    Worth knowing... http://haidut.me/?p=678 https://bioenergetic.life/?q=HCG and peatbot: Peatbot: HCG, or human chorionic gonadotropin, is a hormone that is important for the health and intelligence of babies, particularly during pregnancy as it helps in strengthening the placenta. However, there are concerns about its use outside of pregnancy. It is suggested that HCG could promote the growth of hidden cancers, as some cancers produce HCG and it might have similar effects to pregnancy in accelerating cancer growth. Therefore, it is considered risky to use HCG for purposes such as weight loss until it can be shown that it does not promote cancer growth. Additionally, while HCG might help in treating some kinds of hypoglycemia, it should not be used or suppressed mindlessly.

    @dapose This is a good point, for example coconut oil is comedogenic for some people and can cause acne if used on the face (for some no problems at all). It's really important to be aware of how your body reacts to things personally. Edit: Also wasn't previously aware prior to this thread that Lavender was estrogenic. I still have some epsom that has lavender in it but I figure I can dilute it with regular until it is used up and then not buy it again.

    Nobody knows for sure. Maybe a handful of Russians do. Anyone versed in using it will probably have read a thing or two on the downside and want to say it's muh indirect dopamine from GABAB and TAAR. I'd add that's concentration dependant. But I think there's something more fundamental than that. Maybe it's that it alters vascular tone and cardiac output. Or tempers alteration from psychoemotional stimuli. So to render wit is to remain relaxed. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/3709776/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6825820/ Beware of it though. There are no free lunches that don't exist in nature. It's potentially useful to learn things.

    @PranaDeva said in the main goal of humanity is to populate other solar systems: Humans born on Earth may not be able to survive off planet. But when we die, we can incarnate onto other worlds as natives to a different planet or plane of existence. Good. No need to worry. We should be free as a bird is.

    Would a heat lamp give good red light or incandescent radiation exposure while also acting as a space heater? idk if it is adequate but may be a good way to cut down electricity cost of heating while also getting light if it would work.

    @Milk-Destroyer said in Sleep Paralysis Stories: Benadryl trip. When I was a teenager I tried the Benadryl thing (maybe 6-8 tablets) and occasionally took them to basically space out. You kind of forget where you're at. I was also really dizzy / slow. Then, lightning-like flashes were appearing when I closed my eyes, keeping me up late. Auditory noises that are probably totally imaginary kept happening and you kinda crack out. Do not recommend. I've had sleep paralysis somewhat rarely but it is not predictable. I haven't been able to connect it to foods but I think eating late and low exercise / movement / alcohol play a factor. I almost never drink and eat earlier now so it isn't common. I've definitely seen shadow figures, but that was more when I was younger. I would wager that the "boogeyman" is really just the product of sleep paralysis in children. The eyes are adjusted to the darkness so I think it's a natural state of fear if you believe you're awake and unable to move, then see a shadow or coat-rack and intuit a fearful situation. More recently if I had sleep paralysis I felt I was trying to turn back into the dream but can't. Then, several times I felt like I was screaming at the top of my lungs and/or crying. I think the screaming is related to not being able to breathe from some temporary apnea/blocked nasal passage. The emotional distress is hard to explain because there's no cause, just the effect of feeling instant pain. A good movie for everyone to watch is Altered States. The movie definitely freaked me out in real life so of course things like that probably influence people's unconscious. The idea of a sensory deprivation tank, or of being in one, is awful, in my mind. What if somebody locks you in it - a coffin filled with water, while you're on LSD? Anyways - or how about A Perfect Storm? You see where I'm going - I think maybe sleep paralysis is very personal and is playing into individual fears and experiences. But usually if it happens I wake up or dream that I wake up and go back to sleep and don't remember it. One should also not read too much Pessoa - terrifying stuff.

    @the-MOUSE It depends on the case. In general, it's better not to consume more than 5g of PUFAs per day. If someone were to follow the proposed paradigm while supplementing with algal oil, I don't see a problem. DHA and EPA are better than linoleic acid and gamma-linolenic acid, not to mention osbond or arachidonic acid, because they are precursors to less harmful eicosanoids. DHA and EPA supplementation can be useful, but it really depends on the individual case. I believe that milk fat from grass-fed cows can provide the necessary amounts of DHA through alpha-linolenic acid.
