@Elza said in Sleep help:

What would you take if you can barely sleep for weeks and are becoming weaker, can barely walk, stay in bed most of the day without sleeping. I just sleep à bitat nigt and wake up incapable of going back to sleep.
Please help.

Hi, sleeping in total dark, lowering emf exposure by turning off bluetooth/wifi on your phone, internet modem, and other electronic devices, and a night turning off your bedroom electricity and ceiling electricity(if both separated) on circuit breaker, it can have massive impact.

Also if you sleep on matress, sleeping with no pillow if you sleep on your back on your stomach can be optimal, head at same lvl of chest torso is optimal compare to head higher than neck and.torso due to pillow elevatio, pillow can be optimal is you sleep on true side

What do you eat?

@PrinceTrebata Amazon does have the 500mg 60 caps but seems sporadic. Recently got that size off Amazon, was shipped from Israel, all ok

What a hottie. It even has brakes.

@Elza said in Reducing antipsychotic effects:

do have the carrot salad with organic white vinegar and coconut oil

Coconut oil is fine but to have LPS toxins captured, mufa is best , with olive oil. Macadamia nuts or half a avocado.

Really insightful post — I appreciate how deeply it explores iodine’s role in overall body function. It’s refreshing to see discussions that connect science, history, and practical wellness without the usual pharmaceutical bias. I’ve been reading a lot about optimization and balance lately, even outside health topics like in gaming communities (for example, the Nulls Brawl APK game at the trusted site https://getnullsbrawl.org/
), and I see the same idea — the right balance and source make all the difference. Thanks for sharing such a detailed breakdown!

There are also research hints to idiodide/iodine dissolving the agglutination of granulatomous tissues

Thanks for posting.
I’ve used Luc’s pendulum trying to understand “idiodide/iodine dissolving the agglutination of granulatomous tissues”.
Granulotomous tissues: small clusters or clumps of immune cells that form in response to infections or damaged tissue, as a way for the body to isolate the threat.
=> Iodine, often in the form of potassium iodide or Lugol's iodine, is used to treat certain granulomatous diseases because it concentrates in infected granulomas and can inhibit their further formation. The treatment works by altering the host's immune response, increasing granulocyte chemotaxis, and improving phagocytosis of pathogens.
=> Potassium iodide (IK) has shown success in treating various granulomatous lesions, including those caused by fungal and tuberculous infections. The efficacy of iodine treatment is thought to be mediated by changes in the host's immune response, rather than direct killing of the organism.
Iodide supplementation can increase the movement (chemotaxis) of granulocytes to inflamed areas, improving their ability to engulf (phagocytosis) bacteria.
=> So It makes it easier for the immune system to reach the target.

Question to AI:
Could a wart be seen as an extended middle to lodge HPV virus (Human Papillomavirus)?
=> Yes, a wart can be seen as a way for the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) to lodge and spread, as the wart itself is a visible manifestation of an HPV infection. The virus infects the cells of the skin or mucous membranes and causes them to grow, forming the wart which acts as a site for further viral activity and transmission to other individuals.
NB: There are over 100 types of HPV identified.
I’ve been using several specific essential oils (EO) but the only effect seen is an over-reaction. The beast / creature gets lightly thicker. I know it takes several weeks…
I could have used Lugol 12% iodine concentration (1 oz solution bottle) to attack the virus. Apply directly on the wart 2x/d. Mind the surrounding skin (irritation).
However, Lugol's solution does not have a keratolytic effect (keratin-dissolving effect). Instead, salicylic acid is used as a keratolytic agent. It takes several weeks before seeing a result. Or use "cryotherapy" with silver nitrate to see a quicker effect.
1 drop Lugol 12% (1 drop = approx. 0.05 ml) is potassium iodide and it contains 9 mg iodine. 9 000 mcg! Compare with the RDA 150 mcg 😉
Note: Tincture of iodine has been used for more than 150 years for disinfecting wounds.
Iodine was a well-known agent used by the US army during WW1 (and povidone-iodine during WW2) to treat wounds. And sulfanilamide as well. Iodine was commonly carried in medic's belts and aid stations during WW1, and similar antiseptic applications continued through WW2 by corpsmen.

How effective is iodine as virucidal? (And by microbes, viruses, fungi and parasites)

DOI: 10.1530/ERC-17-0515 Role of iodine metabolism in physiology and cancer. Endocr. Relat. Cancer. 2018
New research supports the exciting idea that I- participates as a protective antioxidant and can be oxidized to hypoiodite, a potent oxidant involved in the host defense against microorganisms. This was possibly the original role of I- in biological systems, before the appearance of TH in evolution. I- per se participates in its own regulation, and new evidence indicates that it may be antineoplastic, anti-proliferative and cytotoxic in human cancer. Alterations in the expression of I- transporters are associated with tumor development in a cancer-type-dependent manner. SARS-Cov-2
doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0254341
The in vitro virucidal activity of intranasal Povidone-Iodine (PVP-I) has been demonstrated recently to reduce SARS-CoV-2 viral titers.
EID (200 μg iodine/ml) after exposure for 60 and 90 seconds was compared to controls. In both cases, the viral titer was reduced by 99%.
EID = Essential Iodine Drops. Influenza viruses
Iodine, particularly in the form of povidone-iodine, is effective against influenza viruses by disrupting their structure and blocking their ability to attach to and enter host cells.
How it works
• Disrupts viral structure:
Iodine makes structural changes to the viral coat by attacking key viral proteins
• Blocks attachment:
Iodine interferes with the hemagglutinin protein, preventing the virus from attaching to receptors on human cells.
• Inhibits viral release:
It also inhibits neuraminidase, a viral enzyme essential for releasing new virus particles from infected cells.

Useful info on magnesium:
High-Dose Vitamin D Depletes Magnesium – Carolyn DEAN, MD ND.
https://mirzoune-ciboulette.forumactif.org/t2130-dynamique-entre-vitamine-d-magnesium-et-calcium#30339

Excerpt 1:
Magnesium expert Andrea Rosanoff, Ph.D., is one of the few people who understands the dynamic between vitamin D, magnesium, and calcium. She makes it the subject of her 2016 article, “Essential Nutrient Interactions: Does Low or Suboptimal Magnesium Status Interact with Vitamin D and/or Calcium Status?”

Excerpt 2:
Magnesium is required for many steps in vitamin D metabolism, including its conversion from its storage form (which is also the supplement form) to its active form. This means that taking extremely high doses of vitamin D can lead to magnesium deficiency without anyone realizing it.

sedinfrance.org: Vagus nerve stimulation (In French)
Chronic stress affects the functioning of the vagus nerve. Excessive or constant stimulation can lead to desensitization. An over-stimulated vagus nerve can become weakened or dysfunctional, leading to a variety of symptoms such as digestive upset, anxiety, chronic fatigue, and difficulty recovering physically and emotionally. When the nerve is constantly stimulated, it can lose its ability to function properly, affecting the balance of the autonomic nervous system and leading to dysfunction. The vagus nerve also plays an important role in regulating inflammation.
apoticaria.com le-nerf-vague-sentinelle-du-bien-être (in French)
=> When properly activated, the vagus nerve has a positive effect on regulating inflammation. Through acetylcholine, it sends a signal to immune cells (especially those in the intestine) to reduce inflammation as soon as it is no longer necessary.
How is the vagus nerve affecting acetylcholine? Indirectly through microbiota on cortisol and serotonin hormones? The vagus nerve does not directly cause the microbiota to produce acetylcholine. However …
The Role of Serotonin and Cortisol
• Microbiota influence on serotonin:
The gut microbiota affects tryptophan metabolism, a precursor to serotonin, and can produce serotonin itself, influencing the neurotransmitter levels in the body and brain.
• Microbiota's impact on cortisol:
The microbiota-gut-brain axis is involved in regulating the stress response, which includes the production of hormones like cortisol.
How It Connects
a. Microbiota influence neurotransmitter levels: Gut bacteria influence the production of neurotransmitters like serotonin.
b. Vagus nerve activation by microbial products: These microbial products, including acetylcholine and others, can directly or indirectly activate the vagus nerve, which connects the gut to the brain.
c. Influence on hormonal regulation: The vagus nerve's signals influence brain regions that modulate mood, stress, and emotion, which are linked to hormones such as cortisol and serotonin.
d. Bidirectional communication: This creates a bidirectional relationship where the microbiota influences brain function via the vagus nerve, and brain activity also influences the gut microbiota. Neurotransmitter modulation: The vagus nerve helps with stress management.

When the vagus nerve is activated, it induces a state of relaxation and calms physiological stress reactions.
The vagus nerve modulates the production of cortisol via acetylcholine by promoting a state of relaxation and regulating the parasympathetic nervous system, which calms the body's stress response. Acetylcholine, the main neurotransmitter of the vagus nerve, has anti-inflammatory effects too and improves mood, particularly nervous system activity, which is linked to increased cortisol production.

=> You gradually and fairly slowly move through the contact points of the body parts in contact with the ground, starting from the head, i.e., the top of the skull. You imagine that you are "exhaling" the load, the tension. You feel the tension, imagine the weight of the limbs, and you gradually release them, moving through the other limbs. You feel the weight of the body leaving you. Some people will not be able to directly use this technique until they have released excess stress through a fairly energy-intensive physical activity. Jogging, for example (or whatever physical activity suits you best).

@GreekDemiGod amazing stuff

You asked for the bioenergetic approach, and I was hoping someone more knowledgeable than me would respond with that but no one has, so I will try.

I imagine that the same Peaty substances that help with depression, autism, and social withdrawal would help you.

Perhaps you don't need to focus on treating the dysphoria with anything specific to that, and it will resolve as you treat the depression or any other symptoms that you have (see below). Maybe dysphoria is just part of how you personally manifest the same high serotonin, low thyroid "syndrome" as others who have depression or autism without dysphoria.

It would be useful to know:

what other symptoms you have? (for example: gut distress, acne, brain fog, ADHD, overweight, struggle to make friends, night sweats, etc) lab work to see if anything stands out (TSH, Prolactin, Cortisol, CRP, heavy metals, mold, gut dysfunction, lots of others.) what you've tried (diet, supps, medicines) and what the results were (for all your symptoms, not just dysphoria) what is your current diet and lifestyle (do you sleep well? do you have any big micronutrient deficiencies? Etc)

Basic bioenergetic ideas to help any mental issue would be:

Take high dose Thiamine, Thyroid hormones, eat more sugar, salt, and protein in order to Increase your metabolic rate to the correct level (as measured by your morning waking temperature) and to lower the stress system (cortisol, adrenaline, serotonin, estrogen) Lower serotonin by eating a gut-friendly diet, using carrot salad, taking substances like cyproheptadine. Lowering serotonin may be very helpful for you as it is implicated in autism, and I've heard that autism and gender dysphoria are often related. Also your depression and the feelings that you describe sound like what I've read Peaters blame on serotonin.

I think it's likely that gender dysphoria is a result of childhood vaccine induced mild brain damage. I say that because it overlaps a lot with autism (widely regarded in our "alternative health" circles as vaccine induced) and because it has the same huge, inexplicable increase in prevalence across recent generations that autism shows (both were pretty rare before childhood vaccination went into overdrive).

I know of two pathways for vaccine damage:

mild brain damage from inflammation (the adjuvants in the vaccines attacking the brain at the time of vaccination) - this would have to be treated with the things that are healing to the brain. Some ideas: Thyroid hormones, Thiamine, Niacinamide, Pregnenolone, Progesterone (maybe you specifically should proceed with caution with that one as it is feminizing - perhaps haidut's Androsterone instead? I don't know), and anti-stress substances that block cortisol's brain damaging effects. heavy metal accumulation in your body: the adjuvants in the vaccines - mercury and aluminum. People have proposed various ways of removing these metals. Chelation therapy is apparently very dangerous if you don't know what you're doing, and Ray Peat recommended gentler approaches. Ray advised gently and slowly removing metals over time and said that orange juice and coffee could do that. Another idea is Silica-rich mineral water (like Fiji water) which can apparently remove aluminum over time.

I want to say I don't have experience with most of this, nor am I a Peaty expert at all. There's no one size fits all protocol, for example pregnenolone gives me terrible insomnia and is therefore counterproductive for me, even though it's great for other people.
