@NoeticJuice
While taking Passionflower were you also on any medications?
I recently reduced my SSRI to half of the dose when it was at maximum. I've noticed a few months later that my anxiety levels do spike more frequently. Sometimes while waking up after not having eating in a while.

I imagine supplements work better if you haven't been on medication.

@alfredoolivas sounds good, thanks for the confirmation 👍

Thanks LucH and Jennifer.

Yeah, I hope the prolactin comes down with improved thyroid!

@thyroidchor27 how you getting on with anavar?

A thought I have is about whether smoking is superior in that it delivers directly to the lungs the nicotine. If smoke quality is good and only nicotine and what else comes from tobacco leaf is what the lungs receive, wouldn't this likely to be therapeutic?

Since we thinking of smoking as only bad without any qualification, we may be wanting to stay within the limits set by conventional wisdom.

Conventional wisdom being often, or mostly wrong, we may just be shutting ourselves off from the best solution offered in the simplest package from nature.

Here is a link to a photo of Connie Chung (born 1946) and her husband Maury Povich (born 1939). The photo was taken in 2023. From the photo, do you think that she is using the fountain of youth molecule that she shilled?

@ashou You haven't mentioned your diet, lifestyle, or any additional (previous) conditions & bloodwork.

Ray Peat's approach is about continuously Perceive. Think. Act. Taking a holistic perspective in connecting the dots... yourself or with maybe some external advice.

You seem to focus only on rather limited Act, especially on supplements, so most probably such a (reductionistic) approach will not work.

Abstract

Based solely on clinical clues from a malnourished population, thiamin alone was intentionally and successfully injected to human cases with some tumors or masses. Two cases of submandibular gland cyst and 13 out of 15 cases of Baker's cyst were cured without recurrence for several decades. In a case with pathology-confirmed osteosarcoma, subcutaneous perfusion of thiamin HCl 300 once only reduced its circumference from 30 to 20 cm, equivalent to a reduction of 50-75% in volume, within 2 days.
Current concepts on the role of thiamin in carcinogenesis are controversial. Some authors claimed that thiamin supported high rate of tumor cell survival, proliferation and chemotherapy resistance and suggested anti-thiamin therapy for cancer. On the other hand, some investigators have reported evidence of prevention of several varieties of cancers by dietary thiamin. A limited number of animal studies revealed evident relationship between thiamin deficiency and cancer development. Therefore, further study on the mechanism switching thiamin between cancer supporter and suppressor is needed.

nigga should be on a dht drip probably

@Chud Bruh peat like crazy and you will see changes.

@ora said in Fish oil kills neurons, Coconut oil dilutes this:

That study is pretty poorly run. I

Yes, indeed. Well seen. 👍
Not realist.
And moreover:

8 weeks is to short to see deep deleterious effects. When specifying "vitamin alpha-tocopherol" is not sufficient. I don't take into account studies with dl-toco (synthetic). Less efficient.
"the fatty acid composition of brain PUFA was significantly altered, even if alpha-tocopherol was added to the salmon-oil diet."

@annis that's cool,thx

@Kate21 I’m inspired, tell me more about Chris Hemsworth

@Peatful thanks I will reread this!

@Sugarnotsnow

Nice to know.

My uric acid is always high, but I let it stay high as it doesn't bother me and it is an underappreciated part of the body's primary antioxidant system.

My body must need it as my kidneys do not allow much of it to be excreted as I excrete much less of it than reference range The body seems to know I need to deal with a high level of oxidative stress and uric acid being high provides me with a high level of protection.

Since I keep close tabs on maintaining good acid base balance,the uric acid does not precipitate on my joints and I don't have any arthritic pain nor gout.
