@brenn if it works, who cares? Try it and see. It's not going to have any systemic effects anyways applying it to the scalp

@DG I'm not concerned how high my uric acid is as much as whether the uric acid is precipitating into crystals or not, causing arthriric ain in joints and gout.

My uric acid levels are on the high end of normal range. Yet I don't feel any arthritic pain. I believe it is because my good sugar metabolism produces a lot of CO2, and this helps with keeping my body in a state of good acid balance. In this state, uric acid hardly ever precipitates into crystals.

I'm not sure whether my uric acid levels are that high but I believe it's not so much that I'm producing a lot of it as I'm retaining a lot of it. When I check my urine for uric acid, it is very much lower than normal. They means I'm retaining a lot of uric acid.

As to why I'm retaining it, it may be that my body needs it more given that as much as I try to lower conditions of oxidative stress, I am not in that sweet spot where my body deals with a minimum of oxidative but on the contrary a lot of oxidative stress is ongoing. Causes range from lead toxicity still present to a high microbial load as indicated by wbc counts that speak of a high level of low-grade (no fever) infection.

Uric acid is part of the body's primary antioxidant system. It is protective. I would pay more attention to ensuring I have an optimal acid-base balance rather than lowering my uric acid levels. I have no arthritic pains whatsoever. No hour either. But go consult a doctor and you will be advised differently.

Usually people will do take the road well traveled, and stay within the safety in numbers. The majority is always right or always wrong? Conventional wisdom has it that majority is always right.

Do you take them with food?

have you tried progesterone and thianine? Have you noticed anything similar in regards to combatting the deleterious effects of lonely? I think most serotonin symptoms also occur in tandem with high glutamate and not enough GABA. Theanine as such decreases glutamate while also reducing serotonin in the brain. Amantadine another such thing, b6 (p5p) also another which reduces both glutamte and increases GABA. I dont think its coincidence that a compulsive urge for verbalisation also goes down on theanine , Foids also talk too much bcos estrogen probably reduces threshold for verbalisation (akka watching minimalist movie and "verbalising what u feel/ looking for metaphors etc", while serotonin keeps you stuck verbalising.

@RaypEagle

If thyroid were the sole limiting substance that keeps your blood sugar from being absorbed and metabolized optimally, which by that I mean you fully get into mitochondrial respiration, blood sugar would not go up as much and as high as it used to, and this would negate the need for the pancreas to secrete a large amount that it used to. This large amount of insulin signals the liver to convert blood sugar to triglycerides in order to lower blood sugar. But the amount of insulin secreted by the pancreas is not always perfectly calibrated to give a drop in blood sugar that keeps blood sugar from reaching too low a level, and your blood sugar may stay at a low level long enough to trigger hunger before blood sugar levels start going up (or not, as in your liver not having glycogen stores that gets converted to sugar by adrenalin).

Having T3 made available would get your blood sugar from dropping to the low levels that trigger hunger.

@peatyourmeat the blood data is for you to draw conclusions from, not for your doctor to interpret, doctors don't spend enough time per patient to really figure out what is wrong, doctors need to do research too for making proper diagnosis and with how the modern health system works that is just not possible

@dan-saintdominic Most of our emotional intuition is processed during sleep. Lack of sleep creates a sort of emotional chaos where you don't really know whether to be happy or sad which is better than total depression.

Also yeah, short-time stress can be good if you are really in a depressed state. Though long term you lose out, the damage caused by the stress is usually greater than the good you derive from having that momentanous energy.

i've felt better eating fresh ground beef over leaner cuts of steak/chicken recently. I've heard haidut talk about glycogen still being in it if its fresh enough. i have no problems with the hydrolized gelatin digestion wise and it seems to work well supplementing. I want to see how I feel on the broth recipe though in the future, it seems like it would be good to make on the weekend and ration throughout the week.

You can eat something beforehand so that you aren't so hungry. If you can't obtain vitamin E +/ saturated fat on short notice, try consuming something with caffeine after a pufa-heavy meal to aid excretion, and then eat something with sugar/saturated fat.

@santiagotrad That's a good option! Pricey, but if it works it works

@thebodyelectric_ I've been using it almost daily. Completely replaced my shampoo and conditioner. My hair even seems to look better.

I barely slept this week due to gut irritation. This never happens to me. I am usually perfect. I will quit drinking quarts of seawater a week. I now reccomend against drinking and eating things that tastes godawful.

@raypneat I never explored the Wiki, I actually forgot about it, so good to know!
