    In this human study using 1.5g/day, they saw some liver fat reduction, but unfortunetly no change in weight. So not all the benefits of the OP study seem to translate to humans. https://bioenergetic.forum/topic/2872/camu-camu-decreases-hepatic-steatosis-and-liver-injury-markers-in-overweight-hypertriglyceridemic-individuals-a-randomized-crossover-trial?_=1788701319075

    @ChroncStresChris Re "calcium d-glucarate, caffeine + K2, CO2, TUDCA, taurine, and niacinamide", That's a good idea of yours to focus on strengthening your liver. I would first try plain milk or eggshell powder for the calcium. They're less likely to cause digestive difficulty. Caffeine and k2 should be helpful, as well as should co2. I think I would drop the tudca coz the taurine takes care of what it would do (it's actually what I did for myself: bought it but soon after starting stopped using it) I'd also start with trying to get the nutrients from actual food, eg caffeine from coffee/tea, k2 and b vitamins from liver, taurine from seafood... And finally I guess you're also planning to get quality protein from things like cheese and eggs (along with something sweet like coke or orange juice to prevent triggering stress hormones) Good luck

    @Jennifer Haha, that is funny.  Ice cream was the answer.  I think in our very modern and very deficient world, love is a component in healing, beyond the technical and mechanical parts of healing needed.  Love is indeed a powerful thing; even beyond the emotional response, the deeper security and hope that love provides.  A strange coincidence, I received an email today for an ebook on sale on this very subject.  I prefer physical books, but the price of ebooks is just too good to pass up for my budgeted life these days. I realize not everyone wants or needs everything broken down academically: to use an analogy I've heard, some just want to eat the apple, they don't have to look at it in a microscope. Books and authors are a personal taste, no doubt, but just in case it would interest you:  https://www.amazon.com/Four-Loves-C-S-Lewis-ebook/dp/B01EFM8NI4 I was not aware of the cloudy egg white, as evidence of more CO2.  Interesting.  I did notice the egg whites were a bit cloudy just recently, but thought that was due to the cold of the refrigerator.  I've never had Nounós yogurt, but it does indeed look to be the cream of the crop.  I like the A2 and the glass container.  Next time I make it to Whole Foods, which is hardly never these days, I'll look for it. I agree with your egg perspective.  I eat 2-4 a day myself.  I've been considering adding some of Haidut's vitamin E several times a week, but since my PUFA is quite low in general, I don't worry too much about it.  Wow, hives from the lichen-derived.  (And I see I used the word mushroom-derived in error.)  I think I'll look for lanolin-derived.  I don't feel well on the vitamin D3 supplement I have, which I think is synthetic.  But I don't feel well on any supplements.  I think Haidut's D3 was a little better, but I don't completely remember.  It's been years since I've had his. Yeah, grounding.  I haven't done that is a while. That does look like good mayo that you linked, as far as store bought goes.  And 17oz for $9 is actually not too bad.  It would cost me a few dollars more to make it myself, but I see that I would be able to use a better olive oil.  I promise, I'm not dogging your mayo , I'm just attempting to be objective in my evaluation.  I would take your olive mayo over all the soy based mayos any day.  Coincidentally, I did just make mayo after my last message and it didn't take at first.  Really, it's one of my least favorite things to make.  I can be a bit neurotic in my quest for quality, so I'll continue to do it until I really lose my patience with it.  I believe the problem is that I was using bottled lemon juice versus fresh.

    @PrinceTrebata very ho behaviour not replying. Sorry. I stopped the back ones and still don’t do them( I am still catabolic! Not getting stronger in the gym! Back aches! Bone hurts!) despite getting more than enough protein. This is perfect btw. I am not trying to be anabolic, as that usually entails with some sort of fat growth or water retention from AAS. But that’s a different story more suited for the moggy chicken Currently have been and am doing high seat biking. If I recover (hopefully when I slowly ramp up the calories), and those issues go away, I’ll throw in the stretches and stretching machine. If I find a sustainable routine with time.

    The Multifaceted Roles of Proline in Cell Behavior Herein, we review the multifaceted roles of proline in cell biology. This peculiar cyclic imino acid is: (i) A main precursor of extracellular collagens (the most abundant human proteins), antimicrobial peptides (involved in innate immunity), salivary proteins (astringency, teeth health) and cornifins (skin permeability); (ii) an energy source for pathogenic bacteria, protozoan parasites, and metastatic cancer cells, which engage in extracellular-protein degradation to invade their host; (iii) an antistress molecule (an osmolyte and chemical chaperone) helpful against various potential harms (UV radiation, drought/salinity, heavy metals, reactive oxygen species); (iv) a neural metabotoxin associated with schizophrenia; (v) a modulator of cell signaling pathways such as the amino acid stress response and extracellular signal-related kinase pathway; (vi) an epigenetic modifier able to promote DNA and histone hypermethylation; (vii) an inducer of proliferation of stem and tumor cells; and (viii) a modulator of cell morphology and migration/invasiveness. We highlight how proline metabolism impacts beneficial tissue regeneration, but also contributes to the progression of devastating pathologies such as fibrosis and metastatic cancer.

    @PrinceTrebata This morning I was 97.1 with 60 pulse. I tend to wake up a bit puffy, feet kinda swole feeling, face lacking color like not much circulation, bit stuffy nosed. I was 99.2 the evening before this. After eating and little walk I get my metabolism and temps back up to a good level and feel good. I’ve been over the adrenaline hump since ramping up to this dose over the past few months taking it slow this time. I’ve never done any blood tests but I take vitamin D daily

    I couldn't do average grocery store orange juice from unripe oranges. I don't tolerate oranges well in general. No problem with sugar and milk though. The ideal Ray Peat diet is cherimoyas and gelatin, lobster and Italian cheese as he said in the back of a tiger interview. Milk and orange juice are least bad while economical. Orange juice instead of whole oranges cause Ray had an allergy to orange fiber.

    @irs I don't know how effective TUDCA really is. I know low ratio of t4/t3 around 1/1 2/1 is good for the liver and would help your hypothyroidism. Coffee is generally recommend by peat as well. Fatty liver is a pretty serious issue and while TUDCA may help I don't think it will solve it.

    @Cezar4911 its often showing hypoxia or leaky vessels (low oxygen tissue, skin around the eyes is thin so shows it clearly). u can see this at peoples finger tips / toes / tip of nose / lips in people with poor circulation, Cyanosis https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/dc/Cynosis.JPG/1024px-Cynosis.JPG , milder version of this common sign of hypothyroidism (can be iron deficiency, sleep apnea, poor lung heart function etc stuff that effects bloodflow rbc bodyheat). ray said he noticed this going away when people fixed hypothyroidism

    @LucH thank you for that. I have also been taking low dose b- complex, but it prob doesn't have enough b2. I find supplementing the b vitamins to be so complex, with so many pitfalls. You need x to make y work, but if you take too much x, it will deplete z etc etc. It's an endless minefield. I'm going to just work on thyroid and diet, and try and get enough b vitamins from milk and liver. Even if I don't fix all my issues, I should still make real progress.

    @Cezar4911 I can buy beef tendons that have been well processed such that it is all white and transparent. It steams well into a clear gelatin that can also be used as jello. Costs me $7/kg wet and assuming 75% moisture, translates to $28/kg dry. I consume this in 2 months. Beef tendons are best IMHO because it is free from any endotoxins. Buying gelatin is fraught with uncertainty as to sourcing, as you have to trust the word of the processor/manufacturer. And you can trust no one you don't know.

    In Sweden, I don't think you'll find a bovine variation of an Armour alternative at all, unfortunately. Bovine thyroid glandular supplement is probably obtainable there but the quality is dubious and you have no idea what ratio of t4:t3 you'd be getting. Might be worth pinning more of your thoughts on diet and lifestyle/environment rather than spending a lot of money on rare imported thyroid drugs.

    @mavuue If your cortisol is elevated (probably is) it would be helpful to lower it too (together with estrogen). https://testonation.com/2019/06/09/43-ways-to-lower-cortisol-that-work/ In general, the best approach is to focus on improving your overall health, especially metabolism with thyroid optimization (as others already mentioned). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-FTOVRcUqTs Stay away from reductionistic desperate steps like partially estrogenic Clomid or inconvenient HCG...

    @Razvan Manganese is interesting as it's part of the SOD2 enzyme which is particularly needed in case of "dehydration". Empirically, I've also found it to gave me what (the energy) you described. But I don't believe it stayed that way very long, I don't remember well. Also, manganese is interesting as it seems to do positive things regarding the AQP4 aquaporin, which is involved in the glymphatic system (cleansing system of the brain). In brain, astrocytes predominantly take up and accumulate manganese and are thus vulnerable to its toxicity. Manganese was shown to induce cell swelling in cultured astrocytes, and oxidative/nitrosative stress (ONS) mediates such swelling. As aquaporin-4 (AQP4) is important in the mechanism of astrocyte swelling, we examined the effect of manganese on AQP4 protein levels in cultured astrocytes. Treatment of cultures with manganese increased AQP4 protein in the plasma membrane (PM), whereas total cellular AQP4 protein and mRNA levels were unchanged, suggesting that increased AQP4 levels is due to its increased stability and/or increased trafficking to the PM and not to its neosynthesis. Aquaporin-4 in manganese-treated cultured astrocytes They talk about AQP4 in negative terms here but it really seems to be fundamental for the glymphatic system, for example: CSF transport is facilitated by the expression of aquaporin-4 (AQP4) water channels on the perivascular endfeet of astrocytes. Mice with genetic deletion of AQP4 (AQP4 KO) exhibit abnormalities in the brain structure and molecular water transport. Loss of aquaporin-4 results in glymphatic system dysfunction via brain-wide interstitial fluid stagnation

    @Harlock hmmm, I feel like there is a large difference between people who are on the skinny hypothyroid side versus the fat hypothyroid side. I'm on the fat side and had to up my dose of thyroid by several times to feel anything. I have used tyronene, tyromix, and tyromax. Tyromax was really the only one that needs to be shaken thoroughly to be sure of the dose, but even then, I've taken high thyroid doses through Forefront NDT both the 130mg and the 65mg (65mg is what I take now). I feel like thyroid can certainly be dangerous, but we're talking about 2 different types of hypothyroidism sometimes. Maybe people who need super specific doses of thyroid are different than those like me who can down 130 mg of T3/T4 mix about 1:4-ish. Then lower to 65 mg with the same ratio with minimal change in effect... Idk, I understand Danny wants to stay true to RP, but I'm into Bulgarian dark peating lol.
