    @CrumblingCookie said in Bile can serve as a reservoir for funghi, making them harder to treat: but does iron restriction assist when aiming for fungal eradication from tissues? I suspect so. At least on the sense that lower iron will make fungi more susceptible to anti-fungal treatment. "The SC5314-strain and oral isolates showed enhanced antifungal-resistance towards most antifungals tested, under high iron." https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/20002297.2022.2044110#abstract

    @Cicero see if people got blood tests. That’s the only way you can find out if it’s real or not, no tests for DHT e or p are available to public. I don’t trust them based off of personal biases, when something is rare as a DHT ester in this steroid market, I stay away.

    @Jennifer Thank you, but please don't worry about being late or not replying.  I think this forum should be a no-stress, take it as it comes, endeavor.  It's one of the freedoms — and I don't know yet if it's a positive or negative — of the modern life, among the many inherent burdens, the ability to dive in and out of topics and conversations, on a whim.  As soon as it becomes an obligation, it kind of takes the fun and benefit away.  And with this information age, we can easily take on obligations far beyond our capacity to handle all of them.  The local town or city has now become the world, to some degree! Ok, that is good to know about yogurt and pancakes. I have actually been thinking of making pancakes.  In my flour research, I see that I would purposely want a lower protein flour.  I was kind of hoping to be able to use bread flour for everything .  Maybe I still can, but it seems normally you wouldn't want to. I appreciate the kind words.  I have slowly made strides in my over all health, as compared to when I first started Peating.  Your success story with thyroid is intriguing, and has me not totally throwing the idea out, though it is down on the list.  It will be interesting to know if your thyroid maintains after you stop supplementing with it...if. Indeed.  I think that is where my natural inclinations to be wary of water prove themselves...when a giant wave pummels me!  I don't know if you've ever been caught under a wave and it pins you to the ocean floor momentarily, but not fun!  Those who are meant for water don't think too much of it.  I'm not one of them, for better or worse. For sure.  Peakcock = rockstar, from any measurement.  (Just don't tell the other male birds that.) One dad is enough...haha.  And the way I approach things, with attention to detail, is to a fault.  It's the error of perfectionism, which ironically, is not perfect. ; )  So, to have two dads waiting and tapping their fingers would not be a good scenario. Ok, that is interesting about Brix, being more important than organic over conventional.  I've always had a hunch about that, and you'd think with all my years on the forums I would've gleaned a more concrete understanding than I have.  See, that's why I ask Jennifer .  You had mentioned Brix before...I'll look into that as time allows.  I am definitely interested in those sprouted grains, but I've had to cut back on the good stuff, due to budget.  When I go back to it, these sprouted grains are where I'll start.

    @cupofcoffee are you sure? Citrulline and arginine and beetroot boost all NO including iNOS which is what RP was against, meanwhile tadalafil boosts only eNOS (and maybe nNOS?)

    As a counterpoint, I think I've crashed my estrogen with both androsterone and 11kDHT in the past but never noticed anything with my joints because I was taking boron at the same time.

    thank you all for this incredibly valuable thread. @alfredoolivas thanks for starting it. I suppose like estrogen, prolactin has its good sides. This has helped me see some more research material I would have missed that I can study.

    Talk with AI (Claude) How efficient is the intake of a MK4 supplement, (with enough fat, hereby 25 g fat with some MUFAs), when taking 1 mg (1 000 mcg) K2 MK4? Question of vehicle only? No intermediate change into menadione, I suppose, since there is no digest process. Need a confirmation, whenever there is a target amount limited to 2-3 mg K2 supplement. Note: 2 takes of 1 mg MK4 at breakfast and midday meal, with 1 000 UI D3 (both at the same time, AKA 2 x 1 000 UI D3). Brain target. AI says (Claude): Summary: A moderate amount of D3 and K2 are co-absorbed in the same chylomicron pathway; so simultaneous intake is fine. Brain target and dose adequacy: 2 mg/day total is a reasonable range for a brain-focused protocol. Step 1 — Chylomicrons (intestinal phase, 0–4h postprandial) Step 2 — Chylomicron remnants → liver (4–6h) Step 3 — VLDL → IDL → LDL (hepatic re-export, hours to days) A possible route for extra-hepatic tissue supply is that part of the K-vitamins are re-packed into LDL, which forms a major transport system from the liver to peripheral tissues. ScienceDirect This is the key insight for your brain target — the liver processes the chylomicron-delivered MK4 and re-exports it via VLDL, which is then progressively remodeled into IDL and LDL for peripheral tissue delivery. Agarose gel electrophoresis of lipoprotein fractions after K2 supplementation revealed distinct chylomicron bands and variations in VLDL and HDL mobility, influenced by dietary lipids and VK2 supplementation.

    COX-2 is overexpressed in advanced stages of tumors. Aspirin starts inhibiting COX-2 meaningfully after dosages of about 500mg (better would be >1g). Aspirin vindicated as an anti cancer drug. "Most solid tumors express the cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) protein, a target of NSAIDs. COX-2 overexpression in tumorsis considered a predictor of more advanced stage disease and of worse prognosis in a number of studies investigating solid malignancies. Therefore, NSAIDs are evaluated as anti-cancer drugs." Artificially overexpressing COX-2 makes mice more prone to developing tumors and knocking it out makes them less likely to develop tumors. "Both COX-1 and COX-2 are involved in tumor vascularization. COX inhibitors can directly affect angiogenesis [47]. " "Thus, COX-2 may be the cause of progression of estrogen-dependent breast cancer either directly by stimulating tumor cell proliferation, or indirectly by upregulating aromatase activity [60]. " "Part of the rationale for combining NSAIDs with chemotherapy involves circumvention of chemotherapy resistance mechanisms." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/16945549/ COX-2 inhibition makes chemotherapy (5-fluorouracil) more effective in vitro. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21163769/

    @user73636 sounded like a gimmick at first but its well studied theres a lot on it, decent amount from japan , another way to get it without a machine is buying some elemental magnesium metal sticks or ribbons (safer to avoid as fine powder tho unless stored right). can add a stick or ribbon chunk to water and it will make hydrogen bubbles (added a small amount of malic acid to speed up getting past the oxide surface and a bit more hydrogen , then rinsing after drinking. i added it without malic and it still bubbled) https://bioenergetic.forum/topic/9291/hydrogen-dissolved-in-drinking-water-or-via-gastric-acid i reckon 200ug hydrogen at once would be good. trying to figure out how much a 10cm 130mg ribbon would give. max water saturation you can get is 1mg - 1.5mg per L but it reacts slow and without a lot of acid it forms a black layer. i read some papers where they dipped it for a short time and it had effect still
