@Mauritio Serum iron has been at the top of ref. range since almost forever.
Serum ferritin used to be low between 30-60 but to my probable detriment I had received four i.v. iron treatments four years back due to persistent anemia and ever since ferritin has been above 120 (-240).
Only when I stumbled upon copper Morley's high-tier references did I see that serum ferritin is another essential lie and sort of like serum liver enzymes: In general it shouldn't be floating about freely in any significant amount.
@sunsunsun Such combos are def worth a thought!
All I can report is that TUDCA or taurine without antifungals had been making things significantly worse. Perhaps it did release fungi from a biliary reservoir and could turn out differently when combined with antifungals at the same time.
Similar to how some dietary sugar can be a good complement to antifungals as the thereby enhanced metabolism of yeasts raises their susceptibility to antifungals. Just like we need bacteria to not be in a dormant but replicative state to be harmed by ABx.
I may want to try TUDCA again in this context. Have also been thinking of pinning some i.m. thiamine or taking it orally for the same reasons. Yet only once I'm feeling sufficient confidence wrt the effectivity of the antifungal treatment!
@alfredoolivas interdasting, the reason I like clausthaler is it is brewed to be non-alcoholic (they stop fermentation before significant alcohol is made) vs. most other beers that are filtered to remove the alcohol which probably removes other stuff
Interesting thanks for sharing.
Thats pretty big news. Everything that lowers HIF-1a lowers glycolysis, increases mitochondria, CO2, is anti-cancer etc.
So molecular hydrogen might be more peaty than I thought.

CO2 is probably the most basic and important off switch of anaerobic glycolysis. Maybe molecular hydrogen has similar benefits.
Here's a very peaty explanation of CO2 by a german doctor in bamberg.
Might be worth a shot for some.

Rosemary (or sage) is not about vasodilation but about powerful anti-inflammatory activity by its diterpene carnosic acid, which is an antagonist to the human VDR and thus innate immunity. It may therefore work topically (to suppress symptoms for temporary healing but not to cure) for psoriasis and the like.
@GRay said in mk4 dosing?:
isn't only the k1 that effect clotting?
K1 and K2MK7 too affect clotting.
For Chris Masterjohn, MK7 would even be better.
Chris Masterjohn : « The ultimate vitamin K2 resource »).

Excerpt 1:
There is reason to think MK-7 would be better at supporting blood clotting.
“MK-7 is not just three times better than K1 at reaching bone; it’s also five times better at supporting blood clotting (Schurgers, 2007). This may be because the greater fat-solubility of MK-7 makes it hold on more tightly to the membranes within liver cells, making it stay active in the liver much longer rather than being released and broken down (Shearer, 2008). The liver is where clotting proteins are made, so more extended activity in the liver would explain why MK-7 could better support blood clotting. If this is correct, other long-chain MKs such as MK-8 and MK-9 probably share this property as well.”
Additional comment:
The risk of improper clot formation is increased in cases of low vitamin K levels. Vitamin K (VK) does not cause or dissolve blood clots. However, VK enhances the function of both these systems. VK1 can therefore be seen as a facilitator: Procoagulant factors are VK-dependent.
Remind that platelet formation requires 10-12 days after taking aspirin, whatever the dose is (baby or adult caps).

some think the 'flu' is actually an acidosis
I have been able to induce all the symptoms of a cold, in varying
degree from a simple coryza to that of la grippe and the "flu," by the
induction of an artificial acidosis through the administration of ammo
nium and calcium chlorides. The degree of severity of the symptoms
was in direct ratio to the degree of acidosis induced. In the severer
degree of acidosis, all the classical symptoms of the "flu" were present,
even including a low degree of fever. The symptoms rapidly subsided
upon the administration of sodium bicarbonate in large doses by mouth
and by rectum.

@bio3nergetic this is reasonable, but hear ye, hear ye, some dudes are deeply, keanly, eagerly, needy, of healing an exceedingly teeny weeny thingy, albeit a bigly hearted beefy meany Peeny, by any means necessary.

@TexugoDoMel I haven't used it for a week now because I didn't like my moles darkening. So, I still have 19 more vials left sitting around and I have no clue what to do with them. Looks like maybe PT141 would still have the pro metabolic effects without the darkening but the MCR affinities are a little different.
Maybe if I want a tan I could experiment with gene therapy to change the natural skin color? I don't know what Ray Peat thought about gene modification though.

cyproheptadine is anti-parasitical
@thezynmaster have experience with tbol from PPL, Tbol is like a milder form of dbol or anadrol. You need testosterone or else you will crash hormones after a few weeks / post cycle. Just run 250mg total test pinned twice a week with tbol and you will get strong as fuck if you lift right. Ive been buying from PPL since 2017 theyre good to go. Not a shill just a dude whos been doing steroids for a long time lol. For the past 6ish months ive been taking tiny doses of anadrol (from PPL) as well, Ive put on 85-100 lbs in all my lifts but also been very consistent and on 250-300mg cypionate a week. You will for sure have a boost in strength and endurance when lifting but the drugs are only as important as how you workout, what you eat, and how well you sleep. for reference from personal experience with the orals in terms of strength/side effects.
Superdrol>Anadrol/Dbol>Tbol
I have taken all and Tbol is was milder than Sdrol and the anadrol/dbol.
I also was taking milk thistle or TUDCA daily to help with liver strain.
