@thyroidchor27 said in Can Amantadine and grounding Mats reverse the accumulated negative effects of EMF exposure?: @mostlylurking Yes bro Im asking not saying. I dont think TTFD has any benefit over benfo or HCL thats why I asked. And sulbutiamine I have mixed feelings its good but it also has some stimulant effect thats hard to fall asleep TTFD has benefits over other types of thiamine and it also has downsides. It gets into the system more efficiently. Dr. Derrick Lonsdale, Dr. Chandler Marrs, and Elliot Overton all prefer to recommend TTFD and they have legitimate reasons to do so. However, TTFD uses glutathione to work which is a big problem if you are low in glutathione which can be caused by high oxidative stress. The experts talk about the "paradoxical" reaction some people experience when taking TTFD and they encourage just "powering through" the negative effects (sometimes it takes months). In contrast, Dr. Costantini stated that people should not have ANY negative symptoms from taking thiamine hcl and if someone does have a negative reaction, he believed that the cause is too high a dose. He would stop the treatment for a week or so, then invite the patient to resume treatment at half the original dose. I got a headache that lasted 36 hours from a single 100mg capsule of TTFD. So I chose to stick with thiamine hcl and follow Dr. Costantini's protocol. I personally prefer thiamine hcl. But others prefer TTFD; my husband takes TTFD, 200mg/day and has never experienced a negative effect from it.

@Shar_to_the_dae it grew hair when I pour it now I’m only Norwood 2

@Lovesickhs18 wikipedia cites Ray Peat in their Kuru article https://raypeat.com/articles/aging/madcow.shtml

@peatyourmeat yeah most people suck

Can someone screenshot all the bickering between @Norwegian-Mugabe & @CO3 for posterity?

Has anybody done or doing cold water plunges or showers? I'm asking here on non-Peaty thread, because I believe he actually spoke negatively about cold thermogenesis somewhere. I realize it can raise adrenaline and probably not good for people with sluggish thyroids. But I've also read extensive literature about the anti-inflammatory effects. I tried it a couple times when I was doing the low-carb thing many many years ago. I was already cold then, so doing cold plunges on top of that was probably just about one of the worst things I could do lmao. But I'm thinking about trying it again.

@DG What would you learn that you cant learn right now? But I'll play along; give me 3 questions you would ask from him.

@dan-saintdominic Yeah I talked to a lot of long term dieters and they all dealt with various issues still, wished they had a happier story to tell me. One that avoided water and just ate tomatoes instead vomited every morning -detox-. Another had weird neurological problems and couldn’t touch anything metal, no doorknobs, serious emf sensitivity, would sleep in the grass for relief. Another got painfully obese for the sake of detox. Malcolm Gold had some primal diet videos and Aajonus said he developed a tumor in his eye on the diet and they cured it by putting grass fed cow shit in it…. The whole only needing 3-4 hours of sleep thing reminds me of people like Goggins or mark walberg. I think it’s a sign of possibly enlarged or over excited pituitary. Elderly get this too. Where stress hormones wake them up too early and just can’t back to sleep.

@Kilgore It was at that percise moment he realized he fucked up lmao. As hard as it may sound, I don't even know if the oil chug ranks at the top. Maybe it does, but the one where he eats a fucking cactus might just be worse, lol.

What are you trying to do? Acetozalamide is a carbonic anhydrase inhibitor; so is thiamine. The importance of thiamine (vitamin B1) in humans " Carbonic anhydrase isoenzyme inhibitors (e.g. acetazolamide) are used to prevent pulmonary edema, altitude sickness, and increase oxygen levels. Thiamine also acts as an inhibitor of the isoenzyme of carbonic anhydrase. " also: New Developments in High-Dose Thiamine: The Legacy of Antonio Costantini "The inhibition of carbonic anhydrase isoenzymes by high-dose thiamine and the resulting production of carbon dioxide could lead to reductions in fatigue and other symptomatic improvement through one or more of four potential pathways: (a) by reducing intracranial hypertension and/or ventral brainstem compression; (b) by increasing blood flow to the brain; (c) by facilitating aerobic cellular respiration and lactate clearance through the Bohr effect; or (d) by dampening the pro-inflammatory Th-17 pathway, again through the Bohr effect, potentially mediated by reductions in hypoxia-inducible factor 1." Are you trying to resolve lactic acidosis with the baking soda? In order to have good oxidative metabolism, thiamine is needed because it acts as a co-factor for several enzymes in the process. In a thiamine deficiency, the final bi-product from the Krebs cycle is lactic acid; when thiamine is available, the final product is carbon dioxide. Or are you working on something else entirely?

Just give it some time, your biological age is low, don't try and speed up the process with excess amounts of androgens/DHT. Looking young certainly isn't a bad thing.

@JulofEnoch Very thorough answer, thank you.

@ilovethesea And Garrett said on X that he had talked to Grant about essentially censoring Grant's forum because of this. Not even ashamed of his support of censorship (but hypocritically condemns censorship when it's done by the other side).

@Barghest I’m diagnosed as “probably on the spectrum but not easily classified as autistic” according to a clinical psychologist. I could dig up the official report I suppose if anyone is interested. Granted, this diagnosis came after several doses of LSD and a year or so after my initial dose and by that point I was already less autistic, in my opinion.

Fucking mark
