@EagleTwoRomeo yeah they both thin the blood. Aspirin and vitamin e that is.

Try eating strawberrys.
Whenever i get constipated, feeling bloated, and feeling as if the food is not being properly digested i eat strawberry.
I don't know how or why but it helps a lot.
I just smash a bunch of strawberry with sugar.
Half a cup of strawberry with two tablespoon of sugar.
Who knows it might help you.
And i think that lemon, orange or vinegar might make it worse - in my experience.

I've had mental wonkiness and detatchment since my earliest memories. 95% of other kids seemed normal, they had personalities, life was natural for them, laughing having fun.

My brain was fixed for two days after starting niacin. Connected to other people, feeling emotions, planning my future and looking forward to things, insomnia gone, relaxed. Then back to how I was before after two days.

It transformed me. "Autism" to normal vibrant twenty-three year old male contributing to my family and the future. Apathetic voice my whole life became enlivened, energetic, emotionally expressive for the first time, feeling like I gained a new ability within my body. Then losing this as the effect wore off.

I'm halfway in a coma.

But this experience suggests total shifts are possible even after a lifetime of certain things being dysfunctional.

@Mauritio I’ll be following how you recover from the insomnia. I hope to try it if it doesn’t sound too harsh on the sleep

@Mauritio if you dont mind my asking, what does the damage look like?

@healthyfungus said in Le sex vs semen retention:

It may be beneficial for females, but is it worth losing the semen for a female's benefit?

Hardly the only thing men do for women's benefit... probably the upside for the male-female pair is positive-sum. Even if once a month or so.

Ray Peat talked briefly about how bacteria would donate genetic material through horizontal gene transfer even for "strange, unrelated" bacteria.

@BioEclectic said in Constipation /digestive system/stomach issues:

There's one guy with hypertension/hbp who drank about 6oz of my homemade mineral water (Cal-Mag bicarbonate)

Not bad at all when you want to deal in crisis. Those persons were deficient and under stress.
Note there is here a subtle balance to find.

Magnesium as a laxative?
Using HD magnesium as a laxative is not appropriate as a usual middle. Why?
While using HD magnesium or L-acid ascorbic as an occasional middle could be effective and acceptable, by saturation (HD), it’s not advisable as a usual practice.
HD: High Dose.
• Not suitable for chronic constipation:
Magnesium hydroxide is more appropriate for acute, occasional constipation rather than chronic, ongoing constipation.
• Potential for dependency:
Long-term use of laxatives, including other magnesium-based ones, can lead to a reliance on them for bowel movements, potentially making the body less responsive to natural stimuli.
• Kidney problems:
Individuals with kidney problems are more susceptible to the adverse effects of magnesium and may not be able to regulate magnesium levels effectively.

Endpoint:
Don't take more than the recommended amounts of these laxatives, or use them long-term, because they can throw off your chemistry. Combined with an underperforming kidney or heart failure, saline osmotic laxatives can be dangerous.

My opinion: These two middles are mechanistic osmotic ways to force the way out. Many people have tried them with success, on occasional circumstances. If the body gets accustomed to this use, natural interprandial bowel won’t come back (between 2 meals, when the bowels get empty). Make a search with “MMC and colon peristalsis” or I can develop if interested.
People could get accustomed to the dose and required more substance to get the same osmotic effect.
Second, we change the acid-base balance. Third, the way we proceed has an impact on the microbiota… Without mentioning the time we need (unproductive) and the stress we occasion. Short term view.

yeah, I doubt it’s that but my results are quite weird… my body cannot utilize B6 for some reason

@orgon Can you explain what you mean by ending the digital oligarchy?

It's a quote from Ray. Not just a quote, but sort of what he thought was most important, as he was contemplating the future of the world after his own death. What do you think it means?

I posted this 2 posts above this post of yours. If you click the link, it may give you a clearer picture as I felt it did. Here it is again:

@nicemushroom17 said in Estrogen Dominance and Progest E:

I'm a healthy weight (maybe slightly underweight) 25M, and seem to be dealing with estrogen dominance(PCOS like symptoms).

I got some progest E a couple months ago but the two times I tested it I seemed to have gotten some estrogen effects from it and was wondering how I should take it to help with estrogen dominance or any other tips.

Thanks!

Look up the work of Katharina Dalton

Peat liked and referenced her

Spoiler: you need to possibly up your carb intake

The old RPF now the Low Toxin Forum had several good threads on this subject as well

@Peater0921
Besides surgery just adds to the physical stress on the body and would probably lead to more

I would first make sure I’ve eliminated pufa from my diet, because it seems to increase them

Me: Topically I been adding Dhea and Progesterone on the mole for about a week now but havent seen any change.
How long did you do it to see a change?

RP: I’ve never applied anything directly to a mole, because of the danger of causing irritation that could cause cancerization. When I have put progesterone or DHEA (dissolved in vitamin E) on the skin about an inch away from a mole, I have seen changes the next day, with steady shrinking during a week or 10 days. Sometimes I have just increased my dose of T3, to keep my daytime temperature at least normal, and it increase my resting pulse rate to about 95 beats per minute. I think I have accelerated the dissappearance of some moles by soaking in a bath containing epsom salts, baking soda, and salt.
