@cs3000 this one is interesting too: Pyrroloquinoline quinone prevents developmental programming of microbial dysbiosis and macrophage polarization to attenuate liver fibrosis in offspring of obese mice

We further demonstrated that bone marrow-derived macrophages (BMDMs) were polarized toward an inflammatory state at 8 weeks of age and that a potent antioxidant, pyrroloquinoline quinone (PQQ), reversed BMDM metabolic reprogramming from glycolytic toward oxidative metabolism by restoring trichloroacetic acid cycle function at isocitrate dehydrogenase.

@cs3000 Yeah I don't see why Ray was not against malic /citric acid from apple or orange juice but was against supplementing it...
For citric acid it might be its fungal origin(when from Supplements), but that still doesn't explain malic acid.

i have noticed racists lose their hair alot
also most guys who were mean to me in school went bald, not all, but most.

@Hearthfire It seemingly makes my curls coil a little tighter.

Besides that, I haven't noticed much dramatic. Maybe a few new baby hairs.

methylene blue and progesterone both have this effect on my face.

@wester130 As @alfredoolivas mentions: bright light: If i were going to be supplementing with tyrosine, I’d do so in the daytime when planning on being out and getting a good amount of light.

@cs3000 said in Psychosis and serotonins 5ht2a receptor , HDAC and chronic anti-psychotic use:

Found one that looks very good

Uncaria. R rhynchophylla

Will detail more on this after i finish a writeup on malate/malic acid , almost done. in people as part of a mix it lowers hallucinations,

it lowers anxiety irritability in mice and as part of a herb mix it lowers the head twitch response when given 5ht2a agonist.
Doesn't on the first day but does by day 14, lowers the 5ht2a receptor density in cortex well

Its asian uncaria R, not the south american uncaria T thats lighter colored.
(I bought a product labelled cats claw uncaria T and its actually probably asian uncaria R, i blended some crude dried dark uncaria from china and it becomes the same medium brown as what was in it. so some products are crossing over)

uncaria T should be light brown-yellow i think and uncaria R medium brown as a powder or dark as dry stems

Endotoxins sources when eating starch?
Short answer:
LPS toxins don’t come from starch from itself but are the result of died gram-negative bacteria (killed by the milieu or arrived at the end of their life).
Developed theory
Endotoxins, specifically lipopolysaccharides (LPS) from Gram-negative bacteria, can be a concern when eating starch, but the primary source is not the starch itself. While some LPS may be present in food, including those containing starch, the major source of endotoxins in the body is from the bacteria that naturally inhabit the gut. Starch, especially resistant starch, can influence the gut microbiome and potentially impact the amount of LPS produced and absorbed.
Endotoxins from Gut Bacteria
Gram-negative bacteria, which are a normal part of the gut flora, have LPS in their outer membrane. When these bacteria die or their cell walls are disrupted, they release LPS into the gut. Some LPS can be absorbed into the bloodstream from the gut, potentially contributing to inflammation. (…)

In essence, while starch itself isn't a direct source of endotoxins, its impact on the gut microbiome can influence the amount of endotoxins produced and absorbed, with resistant starch potentially playing a beneficial role in mitigating the effects of LPS if, and only if, there is no stagnation of the feces (optimal transit, with a functional MMC), the liver isn’t overburdened (neutralization of side-effects), the way-out is free …
Note: The kind of stuff used in the 2 studies is deprived of fiber. An isolated “nutrient”.
Potatoes induce a higher insulin reaction than sugar cane. When I eat 2 medium potatoes, I mix them with butter, one egg and pieces of broccoli or some frozen spinach. (+ a calcium source to neutralize the very high source of oxalates from spinach: 660 mg for 100 gr spinach).
The capacity of the body is 50 mg oxalate/d. 150 - 200 mg if not every day.

@Corngold go to Spain or western Canada for a vacation xD

or le south de Francé

@Corngold, I find the most accurate reading is a rectal reading. Compared to orally and axillary, my temp is at least 1° higher when taken rectally. When the temp is low in comparison to how warm one feels, it’s likely due to adrenaline compensating for poor thyroid function by keeping the core temp up. Often, one or more of the extremities (feet, hands, nose and ears) will be cooler as adrenaline cuts off circulation to them to keep vital organs warm. One way to tell is by taking the temp about 20–30 minutes after eating. If running on adrenaline, the temp will, in most cases, be lower.

@yerrag 100%!

Similar to what alot of the keto and carnivore ones thought about reducing/eliminating carbs, and later on realised their mistake(s) (e.g. Thomas Delauer, Mercola, Paul Saladino etc.), though I'm still waiting for Eric Berg to come to that realisation too 😉

Not just for those who want to learn to write poetry. It explains the basic principles of lyric poetry, so it can also be helpful for those who just want to read poetry.

@16characterstwas have not tried either yet

@Mulloch94 said in For those of you FGF21maxxing or otherwise eating low protein, what are you eating?:

I'm interested in hearing what all you are eating right now?

I didn’t think my diet was low protein, but I average the same amount as you and get upwards of 3,000 calories daily so I guess it is. In hopes of overcoming my dependency on thyroid supplementation, something that has been especially challenging since my mum’s passing in 2022 and my dad’s cancer diagnosis in March of 2024 (I’m his caregiver), I experimented with different protein sources and intakes last year and settled on 65 g daily, which has allowed me to maintain my muscle and bone mass, however, it took upping my fat intake from coconut sources to maintain my cycle and lower my Armour dose from 3 grains to 1. My diet consists of:

CARBS (65%)
• Apple cider
• Bananas (extra ripe)
• Figs
• Guava juice (Namai—Amazon)
• Honeydew melon (juiced)
