@Peatly Yes, I read that conversation. I think it was the salesman in him. He obviously is profit-driven and was likely looking to develop a 'better' product. Edit: I'm not a Mercola stan, but I think he is just a flawed perhaps egotistical individual with a profit-driven model of 'success'.

Calcium and riboflavin are two chemicals known to reduce blood pressure, given salt intake is sufficient.

@alfredoolivas The letters you linked (1989) went on with this: Since our original discovery of this problem, further analyses of lanolin per- formed by the Food and Drug Adminis- tration, as cited by Mr Cade, have dem- onstrated a total of 16 different pesticides that may be contained in vari- ous lanolin creams. This is more than in our original study. This same risk analy- sis also notes that at the highest concen- trations found, the amount of pesticide ingested per day by an infant could actu- ally exceed the acceptable daily intake currently set by the Environmental Protection Agency. We do not believe that surpassing the acceptable daily in- take is acceptable, even though it may occur infrequently. We also continue to believe that the unnecessary ingestion of known allergens and carcinogens by a newborn should be avoided, particularly since the newborn has an immature im¬ mune system and a liver that is not yet completely functional. It would seem very unreasonable to supply any such directly into (onto) the most sensitive endocrine organs! What has become of that in terms of quantity and quality nowadays? Of the lanolin products I have, one says lanolin, anhydrous, cleaned of pesticides and the other one just says lanolin oil. If I had to select one by smell and texture I'd actually prefer the latter. Anyway it shows that there really must have been and perhaps continuously is a noteworthy background wrt the wool treatment pesticides (not only endocrine disruptors but also the kind of neurotoxins) contained in lanolin.

@Kruton I don’t agree at all. Getting a girl pregnant is a huge issue. Not having sex is a huge issue. The alternative birth control methods are far worse. Condoms are a minor problem in the scheme of things.

Thought I should post a brief update since this thread has gotten some more attention lately: The symptoms I was dealing with have greatly improved with some diet and lifestyle changes. I've reduced my zinc supplementation to a more standard 15mg a day, but I still feel 120mg/day was beneficial as a short-term loading dose. I do get plenty of copper and manganese in my diet from regular shellfish consumption, and I've started using molasses as well. If anyone is interested, the current stack I'm running is a standard B-complex, 300mg thiamine HCL, 8000IU vitamin D, Thorne's vitamin K formula, 15mg zinc citrate, and T3/T4, progesterone, pregnenolone, and DHEA rarely as needed

@AstralPMP it’s a brand new built home so there’s no mold.

@heyman I didn't, I still have that problem. It's better than it was though. I think it improved a bit as I cured Hashi's earlier this year. It's also helped a lot to not irritate it directly, by avoiding certain things like vinegar, chewing raw apples, and for some reason ground beef. And, in the last month, Dr. Ellie's teeth protocol is definitely improving it too.

@wester130 I'm looking forward to getting a solid source of T and doing this some day

Penis size is associated to body-fat percentage during your childhood. If you have a small pp, chances are you were overweight as a child.

@CO3 : ok thanks. I tend to have eggs most of days for my breakfast with orange juice. I always removed the whites as Ray said they are not that great and I try to limit my methionine intake. I wanted to try these for lunch, but I can try during the weekend. Once a week should be fine.

@Sippy They were full of excipients if I recall correctly. So many things are these days. Do you know of any resources for interpreting the results and deciding how to correct imbalances? Regarding interpretation, I am no expert myself so I've relied on others knowledgeable to help me. I cannot vouch for everything this guy says but his videos on HTMA have been useful for me. If you want a real expert with a focus on mineral balancing, fertility, etc. then Andra is someone who you should consider speaking with. Her Twitter is a good resource for free knowledge. Andra is no stranger to Peat and the Bioenergetic community.

Two more months have passed. Healing from the thing in September was very slow, until I realized cutting down on nicotine was a good idea. Now limiting nicotine to after eating. Still not doing great, my body just doesn't seem to function very well. Trying to reintroduce things (like ketchup) made some symptoms come back, and then it's back to slow healing from that. At least now it's obvious that gastritis has been a problem all along. Definitely not doing as great now in fall and winter, although B vitamins seem to keep me going somewhat. No appetite, losing weight, no libido, barely enough energy to keep up with I need to get done, let alone having any energy to enjoy my free time. Is chronic gastritis enough to explain most of this, I don't know. Feels a little bleak. Considering trying an H2 blocker, just accepting being exposed to the excipients. A good thing is eating soft bland food has practically gotten rid of the constipation problem. I had been eating carrot salads for a long time out of pure inertia but they were actually constipating. Endoscopy coming up in a month.

@VehmicJuryman said in A Small Announcement: @Truth You are at the limit of your IQ here. Don't worry about it, try some picture books instead. You're just dumb or dishonest. Answer this question for yourself, why is having sex slaves and sex with a 9 year old not included in what makes you think he has a metabolic disorder, yet his inability to have boys and his anger issues are included? And why did you use the word "although" when introducing your sentence about Muhammad's stress-reducing sexual slavery, just after writing that you weren't sure how he was unique, and just before saying "still" he seems to have a metabolic disorder for X reasons.

@jamezb46 cool. I've been reapplying it at least twice a day... it warms me up

@RawGoatMilk88 [image: 1729047124083-08adcd30-c3f2-46f8-aedf-58478d5add46-image.png] Did you know that Nazi Germany heavily cultivated soybeans, feeding them to troops, to the extent that Westerners gave them the nickname "Nazi Beans?" The US-led world order, with its PUFOid proclamations, is the geopolitical anti-human inheritor of Nazi Germany as a bulwark against Bolshevism, which is and always was the real movement. Does this please you? How does it feel to be controlled opposition? Even back in their "heyday", that's what Nazi Germany really was... the British Empire's dog.

@Corngold true Chad. Cool reference

@Regina I will.

@saturnmissiles Lmao conveniently enough I just started taking that supp, haven't really had any issues. I'm taking the one with mk4 + mk7.

I used the Mousse for a while, it did make my teeth whiter and less sensitive to cold. Stopped using it because you do actually ingest it & some of the ingredients are dodgy.

@BioEclectic I definitely have sinus issues (my entire life) and had a CT scan on my sinuses (head) last week. Blood work, many doctor visits (likely futile) and possibly surgery are in my near future. It would be amazing if these easy hacks take care of the problem! I'm also going to ramp up the sodium acetate.
