    @CrumblingCookie I hear you. It's frustrating. Molybdenum might be good addition to help die off and metabolize acetaldehyde. Ive recently noticed that eating radish seems to help me . I think it is downstream from improved liver and gallbladder health. Raddish can increase phase 2 detox in the liver and help with bile flow. It's metabolites (sulforophane) also activate Nrf2. I've also ordered TUDCA and some homeopathic remedies, to help with bile flow.

    In short, I've had more obvious effects from 3-4 days of tiny 11-keto doses than I've had from 6 weeks of "DHTE" "200mg"/week. IMO, It's super fake.

    What risingfire said. With thyroid energy, I feel like I have all the time in the world, like I did when I was a child—it’s as if time moves slower when my thyroid is functioning optimally—and I feel an excitement to do things, but it’s accompanied by this sense of calm or peace, while adrenaline energy feels like there isn’t enough time in the day to get everything I want done, like time is flying by, and there’s usually this background feeling of anxiety, a fear of my own mortality, really. With both energy sources, I have moments of euphoria, which made distinguishing between the two and adjusting my diet and thyroid dose accordingly quite challenging in the beginning so going by my temps (including temps of extremities—cold feet, hands, nose and/or ears are a telltale sign that adrenaline is compensating for thyroid and cutting off circulation to them to keep the core and vital organs warm), pulse rate and slightly more involved but very helpful is evaporation rate, i.e., average total fluids consumed and eliminated via sweat vs urine in a 24 hr period.

    @Mossy, thank you for understanding. I’ve been taking advantage of the beautiful weather we’ve been having here and helping my dad build up the endurance he lost since having the flu in January so I’ve been away from my computer and the forum more, lately. I think the thread’s title should read Cooking With Mossy because you’re far more ambitious and precise with your cooking than I am. You remind me of my brother. While I hardly ever measure ingredients and prefer using my senses—for example, I can tell by smell when something is done baking—my brother is methodical and likes following detailed instructions. I joke that it’s because he’s a Virgo, a sign known for its meticulous attention to detail, sometimes to its own detriment, and that if you want something done to perfection, hire a person with Virgo (or Capricorn) placements. I’m so glad you’ve made strides with your health and with your level of dedication, I have no doubt that you’ll continue to. I think my success with thyroid is a reflection of my long-standing deficiency, having had an under-active thyroid since birth and certain stressful experiences like molestation that suppressed it further. I think the average person with a healthier history could improve their thyroid function with diet and lifestyle changes alone. Having overcome the trauma, my need to supplement is minimal now outside of winter so I’m hopeful it will eventually be unnecessary. I’ve been a swimmer since I was in utero —in fact, one of my earliest memories is me as a baby in our pool wishing my mum had put me in the blue floaty she put my cousin in, instead of the red floaty I was in because even barely out of the womb I had strong preferences and don’t care for red lol—so I don’t actually fear I would drown, but I can see myself getting tossed around like a beach ball. However, it’s not mastering surfing that I’m after, but the surfer’s relaxed lifestyle and mindset. I could easily spend hours floating in the ocean on a surfboard (or steamer trunk—shout-out to Joe ), never catching a wave, and be in total bliss if I was in the flow, just being water, my friend. Haha! Fair enough. My dad isn’t a finger tapper, though. I sometimes wish he was because it has been a struggle getting him to eat, especially since his cancer treatments. I used to make all his meals in bulk on Mondays and he would just pull whatever he wanted out of the freezer and reheat it in the microwave throughout the week, but I’m having to make him all his meals daily now because he won’t eat otherwise. LOL at ask Jennifer. I’ve been collecting random knowledge in preparation for if I’m ever a contestant on a game show. I’m convinced with each fact I gather that no matter how useless, it will be the answer to the question that stands between me and the grand prize so it goes in the memory bank. Even if there is credibility to the claimed benefits of sprouting and fermenting, it sounds like grains are only a fraction of your diet so I personally would stick with the flour that’s been working for you. You’re already eliminating the worst offenders (IMO)—the franken ingredients—by baking from scratch. The only reason I like sprouted flour is because I find it sweeter and as a devout Wonka follower, the sweeter the better. My dad doesn’t eat a ton of grains, anyway.

    @Kilgore said in WICKED SORE THROAT + I got the FLU ----- HELP ------: Just FYI I haven't gotten the flu since atleast I was 10! So 14 years. Only type of sickness I would get is a cold after I went outside with wet hair. I had the flu once when I was 4 or so, but after that just colds, however, like my dad I got the flu in January and was so sick I ended up being rushed by ambulance to the hospital. Trying to care for my dad, while sick myself, I almost fell down a flight of stairs after fighting syncope for over a week, then my arms suddenly went numb and I watched as my hands involuntarily curled in on themselves. While in the waiting room of the ER, the rest of my extremities and face went numb. Despite all the liquids I was taking in, in an attempt to prevent dehydration, I ended up so dehydrated that I needed two bags of fluids. I had COVID twice and it was a walk in the park compared to this flu. It was a month before I felt normal, and my dad is still getting over major fatigue and the dry cough.

    I don't have an answer but i share your doubt, it doesn't seem like reducing inflammation would reduce muscle growth. Am pretty sure there's someone with an answer for that but ... i'd love to hear it too. As for myself, i always have three water bottles handy which i take a gulp from before and after a workout. My mixed Vitamin-B water, my buffered Aspirin and Quali-C water, and my Mag+Calcium bicarbonate mineral water. I do not get sore unless i really push it with extra negative reps, and even then the soreness is mild and disappears fast. Almost forgot, i always have my fortifield collagen powder after workouts too, am sure it's helping. As for bliss with coffee i recommend everyone try the following, put a small pinch of Mag-Sulfate (USP epsom salt) in every cup. Just as sugar can help blunt the cortisol response that small amount of Magnesium is noticeable, it actually caught on at my workplace. Collagen in coffee is icing on the cake at this point.

    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.

    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/
