@hwisdom (i had to type at least 8 characters otherwise it wouldnt let me post)

@DG quite the opposite actually look what happened to peat mf grew 1.5inches at 40 smth

@thyroidchor27 and I believe urea can “detox” ammonia. Same with sodium benzoate found in the original glass version of Dr Pepper.

@Mr-X said in Edema with water logged lungs / heart atrial fibrillation / pleural fluid around the lungs - approach to fix: @yerrag Thanks for all of your help. Yesterday when I came she was so nervous panicy. She talks all the time that she wants to go home. I can understand after 2 1/2 months in the same room same bed never was outside since then. Couldn’t speak clearly told weird stuff let me first change my clothes before were going home the want to poison me here and so on i was so in shock She was so nervous, i put out magnoil and ithink i squeezed 25-30 drops on here legs. What a hell of a transformation in 30 minutes. She was calm was speaking full sentences we looked sport on TV she remembered old players and so on. Eyes where open, we could sit for half an hour on the bed. Also 3 different nurses said wow she so good today than long time before. than i put 5 drops of energin on her. One squeeze of Glass pimpette of vitamin d oil And gave her her multivitamin pill / 125mg thiamine hcl / 150mg benfothiamine She felt asleep into deep sleep since yesterday she also dont need the oyxgen machine anymore. She got 96% SPo2 oxygen tested on the machine from the nurse. Im so glad because I saw a thread on RPF yesterday how toxic oxygen is for the brain. I think the most common issues at the moment she has a little bit of heart valve inflammation also after 6 weeks of antiobiotics IV. COPD was before, the kidneys are weak but its also known long before chronically but was so worst that by the start of the last week she put her on dialysys. I want to help her for the heart valve inflammation. I think next they will also stop the IV antibiotics. What do you guys think of Vitamin E (TocoVit) for this purpose? Anti estrogen, anti inflammatory, energy promoter. What she has before hypothyroidism. (only gets t4 so I also thinking givin her 1mcg of t3 to start with maybe next week) Panic and anxiety shes takin SSNRI Venlafaxin and oxazepam high blood pressure shes gettin beta blocker and other blood pressure medication. I let go on the idea of pyrucet I think today i hold back on the b1 to 125mg and 75mg benfothiamine I cant give here energin because the nurses saw their yellow stain on her legs 2 days in the row. I wanted to put it on wash it off after 1 hour but they came before unfortunately. Takeaway from yesterday u can throw all your mag pills away the days before i gave her 450 mag bisglyicinate pills saw not so good improvement. I think the only option to get magnesium into our body is either haiduts magnoil topically with DMSO or magnesium bicarbonate. But thats hard in germany because of lack of milk of magnesia I'm concerned she started dialysis as doctors don't know squat about acid base balance and it doesn't get better the longer she stays in the hospital the worse and her more acidic her ecf is. The longer the acidic condition holds up, the worse it is for the organs as they calcify, especially the kidneys. the meds are a major cause of it unfortunately. one day she's being treated for this, and next day it's another it's like playing whack-a-mole except it's not fun. and it's also like a roller coaster of one day she's on a high and the next few days she'll be sleeping endlessly. doctors are used to seeing patients that way and are desensitized to their plight and soon they treat it as normal. They truly have no idea. But it's not easy going home either because .ost people are so dependent on doctors and they're helpless. And caring for elders is not easy either. The better ones know more about nutrition from food and can cook.

@edouard Yea I’ve tried the androgenification one and also didn’t notice anything, but I definetly have from the isolated T3

@Mauritio yea and a decent amount an hour or so before sleep could be good for sleeping through the night if wake up too soon. as would spare the glycogen for longer . i just got some coconut milk powder there's 2 types of palm oil , that kernel oil which has a bunch of lauric acid / very different profile to the other palm oil with no MCTs or lauric acid. so probably used the 2nd type https://www.researchgate.net/figure/Fatty-acid-composition-of-palm-oil-and-palm-kernel-oil_tbl1_282129563

@ThinPicking Ha, good catch, this one got me. Will be more on the lookout from now on.

@Mallard6146 said in Bottom Range Vitamin D: The range is 30 - 100. minimum target: 35 ng/ml. Optimal above 45 ng/ml, for me. But everybody won't agree Excess magnesium can hinder the absorption of vitamin D. Neither too little nor too much magnesium (RDA Mg: 360 and 420 mg according to sex f / m) is favorable. If the ratio PUFA : MUFA > 1, you will have difficulty increasing the levels of 25(OH)D. This brings us directly to 18-20g and 12-15g of PUFA consumed daily by American men and women (Kris-Etheton, 2000) and their negative impact on the absorption of already low quantities of vitamin D in food. So beware of manufactured foods which often contain an addition of soy and corn oil. By the way, if your sun shadow exceeds your height, you will not make vitamin D. Question of wavelength.

@raytreats I believe Ray has said that once we stop growing, our metabolism starts to decline. The growth process uses a lot of energy in building structure. This internal metabolism declines and if we continue the same lifestyle as we had as growing kids/adults, we won't be burning as much energy internally and we would have to start exercising more to burn that energy, or else it turns into potential energy in the form of fats. But not everyone becomes fat. Those who don't already live a lifestyle where they have optimal mitochondrial oxidation. Their internal machinery continues to burn sugar well and the sugar does not accumulate and turn into fats by the liver. Their blood sugar is normal and stable between meals. Because they produce a lot of CO2 as well, they tend to metabolize sugar efficiently because their tissues are well oxygenated because of the Bohr effect of CO2 in blood, which allows oxygen to be released generously by blood to tissues. A lot of this getting fat while getting older has to do with PUFAs displacing sugar as an energy source. Due to the predominant presence of PUFAs in the diet since childhood and accumulated in the fat issues. Poorer health will result and a long term fix is to allow the body to reset by stopping the intake of PUFAs and to allow the body to use up its PUFA stores over a natural process of releasing fats from fat cells and using it up over about 4 years. During this transition, it is unavoidable that the PUFAs will cause lipid peroxidation and the best thing we can do is to supplement with vitamin E to mitigate the effects of peroxidation. It will also help to supplement with VCO or other saturated fats so we.can increase the ratio of sat fats over PUFAs being metabolized.

@Peatslop-enjoyer said in What Vitamin B cofactors should I supplement?: Could you provide the link? Thank you. Vitamin B6: How much is too much? Which kind, with staples. https://mirzoune-ciboulette.forumactif.org/t2033-english-corner-vit-b6-how-much-is-too-much#29628 Excerpt: The English Corner – Vit B6: How much is too much? Main ideas Too much of a good thing is bad. Especially bad for neuro-sensitive people. Vitamin B6 is well documented for its role as a modulator of steroid hormones. No problem with food intake if not supplemented. Maximum RDA target is 25 mg B6. There are 6 vitamers and a way-out form through the urine. If we want a pharmacological effect, we have to take into account the form of the vitamers. The active form is B6 PLP. Look at the 6 vitamers form before continuing (figure): 3 basic forms of vitamers B6: PN= pyridoxine PL = pyridoxal PM = pyridoxamine And their derivative, coupled with a phosphate molecule: PNP = pyridoxine 5’-phosphate PLP = Pyridoxal 5’-Phosphate (active form) PMP = Pyridoxamine 5’-Phosphate And the form used as a catabolite (excreted in the urine) PA = 4-Pyridoxic acid. A tight regulation of the PLP concentration is necessary in the cell: The aldehydes are toxic. A self -regulation and a protective mechanism coexist. But there is a radical side effect: PLP will no longer passes the encephalic barrier. A withdrawal effect will soon take place, with an impact on neurotransmitters. PMP is a safer form: PMP is slightly increased in plasma, and rapidly converted into PLP and PL when needed. An excess of pyridoxine (PN) is deleterious. No pyridoxine supplement advised: PN has an inhibition effect on PLP, the active form. PL could be converted to PN by a PL reductase (side effects when too high supplementation). PM could be more suitable for supplementation because of the very low formation of PN by PM. If we suffer from a lack of enzymes, we must pay attention to the conversion pathway: PLP as a coenzyme factor has a pivotal role in catalysis of various enzymatic reactions. See the roles of PNP-dependent enzymes, namely kinase and oxidase (+ phosphatase). To be continued on the link. See above (my forum: Mirzoune et Ciboulette). A tight regulation of the PLP concentration is necessary in the cell: The aldehydes are toxic. We must not go beyond the absorption capacity of the body. We are not all equal. If you suffer from inflammation, if you need more antioxidants, you will probably burn more B6. What should be avoided is to approach the limit / the level of an overburdened of metabolism. A limit that will be different, depending on the individual. Why does an excess of B6 or an inadequate enzymatic metabolism cause a problem of neuro-sensitivity? An excess of Pyridoxal (PLP) will lead to the inhibition of the enzyme PLK (Pyridoxal Kinase). PLK is set out of function via the “Salvage pathway” process. Details on the link, with references.

@Mallard6146 As you eat smaller meals, you produce less insulin. Less insulin production means less inhibition of lipolysis, as insulin inhibits lipolysis. Allowing lipolysis is actually a good thing, contrary to the way lipolysis is seen generally in this forum. It's because as fat stores are turned into fatty acids and metabolized, you lose weight and you lose PUFA stores. In allowing lipolysis, you actually speed up the time for your PUFA stores to be gone from your system. Knowing that PUFA is being metabolized and that lipid peroxidation will occur, you just have to take vitamin E during this time to keep lipid peroxidation at a minimum. The vitamin E with plenty plenty of alpha isomer, alpha tocopherol will be very helpful. Also, supplementing from 1 to 3 tbsp of VCO will help lessen the harmful effects of PUFA being released through lipolysis. Note that I am not advocating increasing the rate of lipolysis, but simply allowing lipolysis to occur by not letting too much insulin to get in the way by its inhibition of lipolysis. Lipolysis and the eventual oxidation of the released fatty acids from lipolysis is just part of the body's way of producing energy, as both sugar metabolism and fat metabolism are used by the body to produce energy. However, sugar metabolism has to be predominant over fat metabolism. Fat metabolism allows the body to conserve its sugar stores for emergency situations when we are deprived of food, to keep the organs like brain fed with sugar, which the brain needs to function.

@GreekDemiGod Unfortunately no. I think it’s a genetic issue, as my dad is similar (high T, perfect labs, but gut issues and low energy).

@LetTheRedeemed you are right about hopelessness and it is definitely manifest in my life. It's something I have to deal with on a spiritual level. I've known about Peat for about seven years but never took a deep dive into all his thought until about a year and a half ago. I think the main thing that kept me away was the pro-sugar thing, but learning more about the thyroid and how pufa disupts sugar metabolism helped me warm up to it. I have candida and sugar makes it worse, even with flowers of sulfur, so that's part of why I didn't like it, even though I always trusted natural sugar in moderation over alternative sweeteners. It was lab-tested and confirmed in 2018 but I've had candida symptoms (such as thrush) since I was around 12-13 which was '09-10. I think it was caused by stress in childhood. The thrush is not just white tongue but on areas of my body, I can use clotrimazole and betamethasone dipropionate (a steroid cream) to manage it on occasion when needed. I think my gut is likely related to my low testosterone but I haven't solved that yet either despite my best efforts with natural remedies and even some medications like fluconazole (which did nothing discernible). As for thyroid I usually take daily one cynomel and one cynoplus, crush them within the folds of some parchment paper using a mortar and pestle and put the powder in a mug to spoon out from on the tip of a teaspoon, just eyeballing it in proportion to how much I'm eating with it. Besides raw carrots / endotoxin clearers and going for walks I don't recall what else works for gut motility.

These 2 are the dumpster fire of alternative health

@BioEclectic probably the same effects as those from other burnt organic matter, like burnt meat. Carcinogenic.

@AndrewPeatMatrix Make a plan: step by step.. A carrot salad once a day IS fine (or twice if between meals).
