@TexugoDoMel thanks for the information! unfortunately, T3 is not sold in my country, only T4, as far as I remember Ray recommended T3, so iodocasein helps me out)

farcarinol (from carrots and related plants like ginseng) and related compounds for colon cancer

also knows as panaxynol or carotatoxin

interestingly-- the nrf2 stimulating activity is apparently higher in relevant dietary doses from carrots than it is from cruciferous vegetable. another contradiction in the peater world

@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.

@Kilgore HGH is... LE BADDDDDD

@swordzonmyback it's le bad

@raytreats know what you mean. Sounds like you might b lo in co2. Maybe try bag breathing. Just take a small or medium paper bag (preferably paper but I guess plastic works), and breath normally into it until you feel uncomfortable (a few minutes max for most people) Helps to listen to music or watch some thing so you don’t get overly focused on your breathing. A few times a day if you like. If you don’t notice a (maybe subtle) improvement right away, you’ll probably notice one after several days or so.
Seems the practice was devised by a Japanese guy. I forget his name.

@what-about-bob said in Is a slowing pulse and lowered body temperature while dieting a problem?:

@Insomniac what is ideal weight. ? BMI numbers are NOT realistic especially for older people, where studies show higher BMI studies show longer life span 29.9-32.....obesity paradox....”overweight” and fit. https://www.spectator.co.uk/article/being-a-bit-fat-can-be-healthy-but-the-medical-profession-doesn-t-want-us-to-know

That's complete nonsense, unless we're talking about people with a normative level of body fat. A BMI of 29-32 is not healthy because an above-normal BMI implies a high level of body fat, which inevitably leads to metabolic disorders over time. High body fat levels impact physiology in various ways, but perhaps the most serious issue is the localized mechanical pressure it causes. This pressure increases pro-inflammatory cytokines, which inhibit glucose oxidation by impairing insulin sensitivity. This is critical because it is at this point that metabolic syndrome begins. Moreover, there is an increase in lipolytic enzymes and chronically elevated free fatty acid (FFA) levels in the serum, which, when polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) are overrepresented, becomes catastrophically detrimental.

I don't know about being able to sleep wherever I am, but when I'm in good health, one of the important things that happens is that I need less sleep overall, and do take less time to fall asleep.

This is amazing as even without getting into the "quality of life" stuff, it gives me something like an extra hour every day, which is huge over the course of a life.

I've recently been following a variation of anabology's "Honey Diet" (mostly, I don't eat any fat, protein, or starch until dinner) which has pushed the needle in this direction.

they took away the sun? heh. news to me.

btw dsm the company that owns this drug also own the scottish company that makes the good vitamin C powder, kekw. dsm bought back all their stock and went private not long ago.

@natureman My juice of choice is usually pineapple, not the best quality, and I’ll mix it with some grape, pomegranate, or cranberry. I’ve been putting some calcium carbonate in it in the morning just to add more calcium.

I do milk powder pancakes with syrup or marmalade and eggs and dates, pineapple, or banana for breakfast. Lately been making sourdough French toast but it’s not the best

Sometimes Fruit smoothies with pure pea protein

Lunch and dinner it’s usually some kind of mix of meat/seafood, milk, cheese, maybe a bit of cooked veggie, carrot, and fruit like dates, raisins, banana, juice. Sometimes I’ll have it with rice or potatoes.

Really nothing too naughty that I think would suppress thyroid. But I think the starches do mess with my digestion. And on the off occasion we eat out like chipotle that usually sets me off too.

I'm happy for all of you that you can enjoy your "safe" vaccines in the future.

@DavidPS He's given them some fodder.

@natureman Overdosing effects sound scary I wonder what qualifies as overdosing. 100mcg T3? 300mcg T4?

@cs3000 I think the glucose aspect is a balanced view of it, IF we are truly considering real progesterone, in a real woman who is pregnant. The key point here is it is not a total metabolic derangement, as even the study points out it is not at the insulin signaling level.

The second thing to keep in mind is, fatty acid composition of the organism is not being considered. In the sciences, most of these experiments don't consider these factors.

If the organism is not corrupted with PUFA throughout its tissues, Life does its thing. And it does it through a mechanism to allow the most abundance of glucose for the fetus. Are we to think that pregnancy ends Life? That doesn't make much sense. So I think the problem of dismissal of fatty acid composition, coupled with the use of PROGESTIN in the actual experiments can allow them to reach an end point they are starting with in the first place. They are reaching, and it is to imply a specific villainized idea about progesterone. That is the reason the verbiage and nomenclature is always mixed up and tricky. IF they want to make something clear, why wouldn't the language be clear!

Once again, for those who doubt it, even in that first study, if you go diving and find the reference for the supplemental material, it shows you they ONLY used progestins as well as confounders of ESTROGEN! The idea of true progesterone is merely suggestive as they allude to it. They are otherwise still using progestin. It reads:

"Mice were exposed to Estradiol (E2, 5 mg) and progesterone (P4, 1 mg), versus vehicle (n=3) or untreated (n=3) control, daily for 14 days (controls were pooled). The hormones were dissolved in sesame oil, and delivered subcutaneously.

Let's say we are assuming their implications of suggesting progesterone is bad for the heart, what then would have been an actually better approach? To monitor a population of women, collect information on the average diets, show your metabolic focal point, BUT then demonstrate actual health issues that arise from that. This way we know or at least acknowledge we are trying to know the causes (diet, exposures, etc) as well as if there is a real health issue that results from it. Otherwise you are merely pointing to a physiological, Life is Life process, and implying the rest.
