    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.

    @LucH I read Dr Browstean book years ago and started the Iodine. However, lately I have changed completely my mind about it. I made a post in the forum, if you have time, watch the video attached to it and let me know what you think about, this is completely the opposite view on Iodine. https://bioenergetic.forum/topic/3795/mercola-strong-sista-and-alan-christianson-on-excess-iodine?_=1739569295506

    Random notes from the other form during the covid times: Peat on cvd supps: Q: What would be your go-to medicines/food etc, if you started to develop "Covid" like symptoms like shortness of breath and fever? RP: Aspirin, antihistamines, and antibiotics (azithromycin has been tested in covid), vitamin D, milk, orange juice,nebulized 4% saline, lidocaine (nebulized or oral), progesterone. Famotidine Steady state famotidine concentrations sufficient to elicit H2 antagonism (and inverse agonism) are readily achieved using inexpensive oral tablets and safe dosage levels. As summarized above, the famotidine dosage employed in the retrospective hospital studies currently available which examine famotidine effects on COVID-19 outcomes appears to be levels (20–40 mg daily) which are unlikely to fully inhibit histamine-mediated systemic effects at the H2 receptor ( https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/pharmacology/articles/10.3389/fphar.2021.633680/full think this would be a better protocol : Aspirin >500mg High doses of Vitamins A,D,E,K2 policosanol or other long chain saturated fatty acids An anti-biotic, preferably one of the tetracyclines or azithromycin An anti-serotonin chemical like famotidine or cyproheptadine a steroid like progesterone, pregnenolone, testosterone,... Addiotinal options : methylene blue nigella sativa emodin / cascara ivermectin glycine zinc https://lowtoxinforum.com/members/mauritio.7916/ Mauritio: In this study, they looked at the difference between treating people less or more than 3 days after COVID-19 symptoms started. They treated the people with a combination of Aspirin 100mg indomethacin 75-100mg omeprazole 20mg A combination of flavonoids: hesperidin, quercetin and vitamin C If patients still got worse, they gave them azithromycin, bethametasone and/or heparin. The duration of the sicknes was reduced and most importantly there were zero percent hospitalizations in the early treatment group, compared with 19% in the other group. That basically means you could treat covid at home with mostly over the counter medications, but it's important to start treatment early. I would make some small improvements to the protocol. I'd favor a higher aspirin dose, meaning >500mg ,maybe even in the grams, it has less effect on blood thinning, but acts more as a metabolical aid and anti-viral. (Aspirin Is Antiviral) If you take higher doses of aspirin, it's smart to supplement vitamin K2 ,which has good binding affinity for the spike protein, so works in your favor as well ( Vitamin K, D and A bind to the SARS‐CoV‐2 spike protein ) I'd also remove omeprazole and replace it with famotidine. There has been evidence for it having an anti-covid effect ,hence why Dr. Robert Malone treated himself with it when he had an early case of covid. Plus there's tons of studies on famotidines pro-metabolic effects. I've come across a few studies already mentioning azithromycin for covid. I talked about one of its mechanisms here : (Coronavirus spike protein creates inflammation via CD147, antibiotics treat) And they cite another paper on azithromycin for covid: (Azithromycin: Immunomodulatory and antiviral properties for SARS-CoV-2 infection - PubMed) There's also evidence for Quercetin and vitamin C beeing helpful,so the stack they use is quite decent (Quercetin and Vitamin An Experimental, Synergistic Therapy for the Prevention and Treatment of SARS-CoV-2 Related Disease (COVID-19) - PubMed) https://lowtoxinforum.com/threads/early-treatment-with-otcs-reduces-covid-hospitalizations-to-zero.44503/

    @Rayoshi-Pufamoto said in Limiting salt consumption for infants?: Should the sodium intake be limited to a certain amount or can salt be eaten liberally at that age? Whenever salt is "mixed" with fat, the taste buds are saturated. This encourages the brain to ask for more because the sensors are out of order. => Enough potassium should still be brought. If not sufficient from vegetables and fruit (mainly), I'd add some potassium bicarbonate (not sodium bicarbonate), in a shake. The dose for an adult is 1.2 g potassium bicarbonate. So, I'd say 1/3 under 6 years old. 1 hour before or 2 hours after digestion. Best not to eat meat just after the take (pH is not optimal then). Not on a continuous way (impact on TH1><TH2 and M1 >< M2). So, with days off, let's say after 8-10 days take.

    @Jakeandpace I have stopped and started including smoked tobacco a lot and it doesn't seem like that big of an issue. the only time I had trouble was when I was taking multiple nootropics in a stack as well as chewing nicotine gum 4mg 3x a day and taking mitolipin and I got choline overload symptoms. I think I might actually prefer nicotine in isolation over tobacco smoking. I haven't tried tobacco snus yet though.

    @AnxiousMess Dr. Ray Peat suggested starting at 4mcg or a 6th of a tablet a day. And take that dose for a week or two measuring your responses. Danny Roddy also mentioned recently that if u take more than 10mcg at a time your liver essentially destroys it. You also need to make sure you’re eating enough carbohydrates to support the increase in metabolism or you will get these adrenaline responses. I’ve been on T3 mono therapy for over a year and am doing great at one 25mg tablet broken up through the day.
