@speed A little bit of flowers of sulphur will not harm you and likely get rid of a fungal infection, and you can use a little bit on the skin as well to help reduce acne.

Although your problems do not sound like they're fungal in nature. White tongue is mostly related to reverse peristalsis, endotoxin, and liver health.

I don't wanna just give you a list with things to buy but a waterpik to remove filth from in between the teeth, particularly the molars, might help to reduce the white tongue. Those flossing bows can do the job too but it's a bit harsher on the gums. Scraping everyday, gargling baking soda in warm water will help too. oil pulling once a week with coconut oil isn't a bad idea. Then mastic gum is a really good addition to help make your mouth hygiene better, and it has beneficial effects on the gut as well.

This is not medical advice but the antibiotics is a route i would inspect as well. It requires a lot of care not to overdo them. to balance the microbiome and i always take it with (weekly small amount of) sulphur so as to avoid strengthening fungus by getting rid of their natural competition.

I've had all of these symptoms you described and sometimes they pop up again, but you can change all of it. Shift the diet towards more solid foods is another suggestion i'd give. Godspeed

@DarthGomas said in Coffee weird effects:

If I start using it regularly, it drastically reduces my energy, makes me very irritable, and gives me a sensation as if my body is burning (in a bad way).

Coffee blocks thiamine.
"As thiamine is an essential micronutrient for humans its needs are supplied from diet rich in thiamine, such as yeast, pork, legume and cereal grains. Enzyme called thiaminase I (EC2.5.1.2), present in raw fish, shellfish, tea and coffee, decreases thiamine absorption."

also this one:
https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/psychiatry/articles/10.3389/fpsyt.2019.00207/full
"Heavy consumption of tannin-containing or food rich in caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline (such as those present in coffee, chocolate, and tea, respectively) can inactivate thiamine, thereby compromising the thiamine status (7, 14, 15)."

and this one:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5753639/
"Plant-derived anti-thiamine factors, heat-stable compounds known as polyhydroxyphenols, which include caffeic acid, phenols, flavonoids, and tannins, are present in certain plants and destroy thiamine by an oxidative process that transforms it to non-absorbable thiamine disulfide [17,63,66,87,88,89,90]. Plants containing polyhydroxyphenols include coffee, tea, and some fruits and vegetables, such as blueberries and red cabbage [17]. "

The experts can't seem to agree on exactly what in the coffee messes with thiamine (thiaminase I? caffeine? polyhydroxyphenols??) but they know it's something. I had a terrible reaction to a few sips of coffee when I was thiamine deficient and it nearly made me collapse onto the floor. I don't try to drink it anymore.

@PrinceMyshkin Thank you for your reply, yes I had that starch suspicion and will definitely try to make some more changes. Didn’t know about the zinc supplementation but will look into that.

Interesting! Tryptophan can be very inflammatory, and if you are hypothyroid low protein can alleviate certain symptoms. As has been mentioned above, the balance of amino acids is key.

@jens I have literally just received my order for progest-e, I had no idea about the benefits regarding cysts. Thank you so much, I will report back.

Did you notice any negative effects on your muscle growth with this dose?

When people say that aspirin affects gains, I don't think that prostaglandins are the problem in this case; perhaps it's the fact that aspirin increases AMPK and AMPK reduces muscle protein synthesis.

You do realise iso- tretinoin does an almost complete opposite job of retinoic acid and most of its other metabolites?

@Gentile

In my copy of N&PD, Price refers to a woman and her two children- the first born on a Western industrialized diet and the other on a superior traditional diet. Entirely different developments and birth. This is in the chapter titled “Application of Primitive wisdom”. I can’t find it in my (newer) editions but I distinctly remember an older edition containing a similar story but the mother was Polynesian and had children on and off a traditional diet, with obvious differences.

There are also people who’ve been on a Price diet and have recorded their own experiences with reversing abnormal development through diet. Nourishing Our Children has two articles on their website- The Tale of Two Brothers and Reverse The Trend.

I remember a while back a woman in a Raw Primal Diet facebook group showed her children- the first daughters are underdeveloped and unhealthy, and the later children raised on raw diet and WAP diet are significantly improved in their development.

“ The normal determining factors that are of hereditary origin may be interrupted in a given generation but need not become fixed characteristics in the future generations. This question of parental nutrition, accordingly, constitutes a fundamental determining factor in the health and physical perfection of the offspring. One of the frequent problems brought to my attention has to do with the responsibility of young men and women in the matter of the danger of transmitting their personal deformities to their offspring. Many, indeed, with great reluctance and sense of personal loss decline marriage because of this fear, a fear growing out of the current teaching that their children will be marked as they have been.”
Chapter 21- Application of primitive wisdom by Weston A. Price

You could also look at animal studies cited by Price wherein they removed vitamin A from the diet and piglets were born blind. Some mated those blind piglets and fed them vitamin A- which produced normal piglets.

“ Professor Hale reports that in April, 1935, a litter of seven pigs were born blind at McGlean, Texas, which was suffering from drought conditions, similar to those at Ralls. The litter and dam were purchased by the Experimental Station. Matings were made between blind pigs. These were fed rations containing ample vitamin A, and normal pigs with normal eyeballs were produced. Even the mating of a blind son with his mother who had produced him when on deficient diet, produced only normal pigs when both had ample vitamin A. He states, "If an hereditary factor had been the cause of this congenital blindness, these matings would have produced some blind pigs, even if vitamin A were present in the ration."

Sorry to hear this has happened. I know from watching friends and family members who have gone through this that it is very difficult for all involved.

THC by itself may have caused this. It is responsible for more trips to the psych ward than any other drug by a wide margin. THC gummies are notorious for improper labeling. We don't know if he was having the equivalent of a "beer after work" or if he was on a major bender. Him being in his early-to-mid 20s with a history of drug use (family history of mental illness?) makes him a statistic when it comes to schizophrenia diagnoses.

The less bad news is that it sounds from your post like your brother's experimentation with his serotonin status pushed him over the edge. This means he can likely recover fully given a proper recovery protocol. To any Bulgarians-in-waiting, you need to be a Level 5 Peater before your stack gets that big.

Practically speaking, has your brother been diagnosed as schizophrenic or with anything in particular? This impacts what public or hospital resources might be available to you/him. Healthcare "practitioners" can't help you through the bureaucracy. If a social worker is involved, he or she is a great person to ask about what you can do as a family. I mention this because the emotional strain on family relationships is severe in cases like this and because your brother will one day soon be off of whatever wild meds they have him on now and coming off of those is hard. The trick right now may be to find him treatment/ a place to stay until he can get medical assistance, since he has no income.

@metabolicmilk Around 8 kg of fat after a month on it . Could have been more If i didnt do that coca cola ice cream nonsense but I was so stressed and warm I wouldnt have been able to cope. Oh yea I remember also doing high dose progesterone on the days where I couldnt bear the stress and heat, that got me to sleep good.

@PartyEverday88 How much dry ice would you use normally?

@snack_log my whole body feels a lot more "sturdy" like it would be harder to push me over if I was standing still with my feet flat on the ground. And my muscles can get very flexed and relaxed, probably from the high energy resting state ray has discussed.

@Fructose Thanks that's all in the article. There is in fact a study showing that tuarine helps (kids) with chronic tic disorders so I agree that tuarine is likely very helpful!
