@sphagnum So that you can have all the benefits caused by testosterone (anabolism. energy) and none of negatives associated with DHT (benign prostatic hyperplasia, male pattern baldness, cardiac remodeling and fibrosis). The only benefit of DHT is aromatase inhibition, but you will inhibit aromatase by proviron using this combination.

@alfredoolivas said in 2 Month Milk Diet Review: wolff chaikoff effect Was the lab work that showed elevated TSH done after the full 2 months? I had to google what Wolff Chaikoff effect is, with the sources online saying it should have corrected itself by then. Have/will you supplement selenium or try anything else to offset this effect? I am also curious about the spinach with its oxalate content, and how that might affect the absorption of the dietary calcium in the milk. Did you account for, or test for this in any way? Do you have any idea what the weight gain is; water, muscle, fat, combination? Did you drink it cold, or let it reach room temp? Drinking it cold makes me feel full much faster. I drink about 2L a day. I could easily drink more than that, but then I won't have enough appetite for starches, which I tend to need to not feel hypo/stressed. Sometimes I drink whole, but if I have the time then I will separate the cream from the top and drink it at a lower fat content, and then use or store the cream for other times. The skimming makes it feel faster/easier to digest, and the cream is usually for before bed.

Get a load of these Peaty MT2 studies: Antidepressant-like and antistress effects of the ACTH(4–10) synthetic analogs Semax and Melanotan II on male rats in a model of chronic unpredictable stress https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0014299924007581 "We found that chronic treatment with Semax and MTII reversed or substantially attenuated CUS-induced anhedonia, BW gain suppression, adrenal hypertrophy and a decrease in the hippocampal levels of BDNF... Our findings show that in the CUS paradigm, systemically administered ACTH(4–10) analogs Semax and MTII exert antidepressant-like effects on anhedonia and hippocampal BDNF levels, and attenuate markers of chronic stress load, at least in male rats. The results support the argument that ACTH(4–10) analogs and other noncorticotropic melanocortins may have promising therapeutic potential for the treatment and prevention of depression and other stress-related pathologies." Melanotan-II reverses memory impairment induced by a short-term HF diet https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0753332223009204 "A high-fat (HF) diet has been shown to increase the risk of neurological impairments and neurodegenerative disorders. The melanotropins used in this study have been associated with diet-related disorders; however, there is an absence of studies on their effect on diet-induced neurobehavioral conditions. Here, we investigated the possible relationship among diet, Melanotan-II (MT-II) targeting melanotropin receptors, and the behavior of zebrafish (Danio rerio). Surprisingly, even a short-term HF diet lasting for ∼ 1 % of the zebrafish's life had a strong developmental effect. Zebrafish fed the HF diet showed an impairment in recognition memory, elevated anxiety levels, and reduced exploratory propensity after just three weeks compared to zebrafish fed the control diet. These HF diet-induced abnormalities were reversed by MT-II. Animals fed a HF diet and treated with MT-II demonstrated recognition memory, anxiety, and exploratory behavior similar to the control group. This study provides evidence that even a short-term HF diet has an impact on memory and emotions and is the first study to show that MT-II reverses these changes." @alfredoolivas

@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).

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?

@user73636 Got it: Keeping to piña coladas, caipirinhas and pear nectar tequila or gin henceforth! Good call! Or do these ingredients indeed require a mutually synergistic blend?

"The evidence from history, as well as animal experiments, is that you can produce it (homosexuality) by stress during gestation. And everyone is abnormal in some way - that isn't something that I think law should be involved in regulating in any way. But I think the evidence is clear that it's a particular product of both prenatal and early life stresses." - Ray Generative Energy #70 https://www.youtube.com/live/Pdb_xOl3GJY?si=_3Fu5-5xKBxoovp1&t=5933

It got better yesterday. Unclear if it was due to Aspirin, Zinc, Glycine, Taurine, the allergen reduction efforts finally paying off or if it was just coincidence.

@sunsunsun said in switched to brown rice, cut back granulated sugar, increased vegetable (even raw) intake: @Gardner semolina pasta takes like 11-12 min to boil from dry. when cooking it I use just enough water so that it boils and almost all the water is evaporated in 11-12 minutes and whatever small amount left is starchy and can be used to make into the sauce. boil and toss water method seems wasteful af pouring all the leached vitamins and minerals down the drain. actually thanks for reminding me I am gonna have spaghetti for dinner made this way with ground beef and tomato sauce. I ate a vegetarian person's cooking for dinner for the past few days and it has been supremely unsatisfying so having this is going to be nice. I use Molisana dry pasta noodles and the ones I get don't have anything added to the semolina. Check labels though because it is hit or miss sometimes. Yeah, it depends on the thickness of pasta and how it was processed. I choose brands of semolina pasta that take longer cooking , I believe those are less processed but anyway most brands I tried ,italian or local, were good

there are different types of nitric oxide the type from arginine/citrulline/minoxidil is the bad type things like ginko biloba and garlic are a good type https://www.reddit.com/r/raypeat/comments/1mg3rk4/why_does_nitric_oxide_lower_with_age_is_it_good/

@Mauritio mulberry trees are amazingly tough and birds spread there seeds extremely effectively in my city. White and black mulberry varieties grow wild along all parks and neglected areas. As a gardener I am always having to remove them and they put up the most incredible fight. You can cut them down completely over and over again and they just keep regrowing like “bring it on!” I’ve often joked that when humanity completely destroy this planet, mulberry trees along with a few others will be the life forms remaining to blanket and restore this earth. Long live the Mulberry tree! I walk by them in the parks and gobble down the fruit in the summer! Love them!

Good thread. I am trying to swish with salt water to fix my breath problem. My Mom says my breath is "very sweet" and according to the internet its a sign of ketosis. Well that's about the only thing it can not be. I know it gets worse when drinking coffee.
