@user73636 if the study you mention is indeed true, it's not clear if it would still be valid for Pyrucet specifically because it includes the ethyl pyruvate to replenish the PDH that the EA would reportedly inhibit.

@Peatful Thank you for the advice!

Now it's worse again, I think it is due to food. I am now keeping track of grocery store receipts and whether I feel better or worse afterwards to narrow down what's reducing symptoms and what's increasing it. It gets substantially worse if I eat too little so a elimination diet is off the table. Glycine helps a lot. Supposedly this is because during a state of sickness the body needs like 10-15g of Glycine daily to repair mucal barriers, gut lining, skin, etc, but can only produce 3g itself. It also generally increases the threshold for mast cell degranulation. I drink a few teaspoons per day dissolved in drinks.

I'm considering a persistent, covert, non-bloodborn fungal tissue colonization. Unhelpful critics will scream that there's no such thing and that fungal infections are either superficial or systemic and life-threatening acutely critical with fungemia etc but I've grown intolerant to any such soft-pedalling obfuscation. Clearly the bone-degradation dear Travis had written about is a chronic progression. @Mauritio said: This is probably the best post on boron (by Travis) . I agree with the hypothesis that arthritis might be of fungal origin and that borons main effect is anti-fungal. Not only that it also protects against fungal toxins like aflatoxin (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0946672X23000032) It's wild that Travis took gram -amounts of boron. It is inherently non toxic , apparently less toxic than salt. https://lowtoxinforum.com/threads/nothing-boring-about-boron.22805/post-451585 There are substantiating studies on periprosthetic Candida spp. infections but otherwise it's so wide a field, so overflooded with make-belief narratives and the search functions so poor that I cannot get hold of more tangible findings. It's likely that fungal infections can persists below the surface in the enteric tissues and beyond in joints and other organs. And that, irrespective of the actual location, the latter can be harmed in a course of cross-reactive immune response as shown by many other pathogens. I've therefore spiked last night's porridge with 2grams of borax with the intention of strong luminal distribution along the GI system. And I've started with 5grams of borax per liter for my drinking water today. Of which I've already drunk two thirds. So I may prepare a second liter with the same ratio later on and use this exclusively. If there's any notable improvement I shall throw in a course of itraconazole on top. I had first dabbled with borax five long years ago. I had noticed that going beyond 20-30mg elemental boron per intake was and remained really uncomfortable. Giving strong headaches. Giving dull joint pains. Eventually, my use has faded because of such much else going on. Had been on very intensive and extensive antibiotic regimens recently which also impacted (fingers crossed it stays) the recurring events of night sweats and arthralgia. The borax hits me differently now. No particular headaches or joint reactions yet!

@kilgore do you mind moving this thread? I accidentally posted it in Case Studies

@LunaticRed what @alfredoolivas said along with inhibiting cortisol, positive androgenic effects like increased strength, bone growth, anti-anxiolytic, controls blood sugar, controls inflammation from endotoxin. The list goes on. In reality, it is the TRUE male hormone.

@Milk-Destroyer Yeah I can't sleep if I don't add spinach, which contains loads of folate. Even if I take 450mcg of clonidine or benadryl or whatever. You mentioned that you have high adrenaline symptoms, which is similar in a way to insomnia. I might be misremembering but I'm sure you told someone on reddit not long ago that that much egg shell powder was a stupidly high dose. Have you revised your opinion on it? A case study showed that an older gentleman developed tachycardia and was found on the floor from 8-9grams of calcium carbonate. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9873449/ I have taken 30g a day. Nowerdays, when I use it, I use it in split doses with meals and take enough to get a 2:1 ratio, but currently my dietary intake is maybe a 1.1:1 C:P ratio. I think 3 grams is fine, that is roughly 1500mg Calcium.

@Ecstatic_Hamster, yep, I learned about it from a high Brix gardening group I joined when I was following a healing system called RBTI (Reams Biological Theory of Ionization). The creator, Carey Reams, was an agronomist. I’ve also used a combination of raw milk and blackstrap molasses with success. The only downside is wild animals love milk so much so that they were eating the milk soaked dirt at the base of my plants, leaving large holes. You may find this helpful: https://cheesemaking.com/blogs/fun-along-the-whey/using-whey-in-your-garden Nice! Smart idea. I’ve been using a nut milk bag fitted over the mouth of a 2 L Ball jar, but I’ll see if I can find a strainer to fit my bowl so I have one less dish to clean.

@pittybitty said in The processing of MILK and unsaturation: For comparison in German supermarkets whole milk will always be either 3.5% or 3.8%. If no other solution, see if it's pasteurized or UHT. No UHT at all (fake protein).

@Korven You get a tan with the sperti lamp? Korven means sausage in swedish for all non swedes

But astrocytes are known to be basically glycolytic, so klotho seems to me to be just reinforcing their mode of operation. Glycolysis is bad when it shouldn't happen there, but sometimes it's a better option than OXPHOS, even if it's inefficient. Just imagine how quickly oxygen would be depleted if the brain chose to do OXPHOS predominantly with fatty acids, as is the case with the heart, or how much superoxide would be generated...

@user73636 I just bought some royal jelly that arrived in a cold pack. It should be very good quality. Thanks for bringing this up. Have you tried it?
