@Ismail I'm interested in this too but for bromocriptine. It seems nearly the same as cabergoline but without the heart valve issues and bhpharmadrugs doesn't ship to the US.

@jd_au said: Keep it simple folks. Still fine for you. However, when taking HD B1, there is a protocol to follow. In short, there is interaction between several vitamins and trace elements. I then asked AI to help clarify the why and the how for other readers. AI says, as if LucH were speaking to JD: Glad it has lasted for you, JD! That is fantastic personal success, and it actually makes perfect sense given the specific combination you used. When you take thyroid hormone alongside thiamine, you are directly addressing the systemic metabolic bottleneck. In the bioenergetic framework Dr. Ray Peat talked about, low thyroid impairs the liver's ability to clear excess estrogen. High estrogen triggers nitric oxide, which over-relaxes (smoothes out) the blood vessels in the lower extremities, causing blood to pool and forcing the heart to beat faster to compensate (POTS). By taking thyroid and thiamine together, you restored cellular energy and vascular tone simultaneously, which is why your results have been so stable. However, for other readers looking to replicate this, it is crucial to understand why standalone High-Dose Thiamine (HD B1) protocols usually require cofactors. Skipping them can cause issues for the average person due to several factors: Magnesium is Mandatory: Thiamine cannot be converted into its active, usable form (thiamine pyrophosphate) without magnesium. Mega-dosing B1 alone rapidly depletes magnesium stores. This frequently triggers severe muscle cramps, anxiety, and heart palpitations, which people often mistake for a worsening of their POTS. The "Paradoxical Reaction": High doses of B1 can kickstart dormant mitochondrial pathways so suddenly that it causes a temporary, severe flare-up of autonomic symptoms. Adequate magnesium, potassium, and baseline nutrition help buffer this transition and prevent a metabolic shock. B-Complex Imbalance: Flooding the system with massive doses of a single B vitamin can eventually create a functional deficiency in other B vitamins (like B2 and B3) that share the same cellular energy pathways. In short, JD's success is a great example of the bioenergetic approach working perfectly because the underlying thyroid and estrogen pieces were addressed. But for most people starting a high-dose thiamine protocol on its own, skipping cofactors like magnesium is a frequent cause of metabolic stalls or severe symptom regressions. Keep it simple, but keep the underlying biochemistry in mind!

Rinsing oats may remove some surface starch, but it will not remove most of the starch. The gas and gut activity may simply be from the high fiber content. If the kidney discomfort continues, it would be best to have it checked.

@George-Adams Hi, I drink structured water but I don’t think it’s going to have an impact on my sleep I explain: I fill an earthenware pitcher with tap water and let the chlorine evaporate. Then, when my thermos with the magnetic metal base is empty, I transfer the water into it. I avoid letting tap water sit at temperatures above 22–24°C to prevent potential bacterial growth during heatwaves. Note; last year I used mineral water (500 mcg trace elements maxi), but I no longer do so (plastic nanoparticles), except for my coffee machine (limescale). Make a search with: Masaru Emoto Japanese searcher and living water (youtube video) I’ve written a post on living water in French on a forum where I no longer go, 20 years ago (restricted access + commercial cookies).

Pure aspirin powder, especially when dissolved cleanly in warm water or a metabolic substrate like orange juice is absorbed primarily in the upper GI tract, ensuring it never reaches the small intestine as a concentrated solid. The aspirin in this study and the ones like it utilize enteric coated aspirin. Known as Bayaspirin the enteric coating utilizes methacrylic acid copolymer, often branded as Eudragit, along with other excipients like Titanium Dioxide, plasticizers, and synthetic dyes. Pretty nasty, pretty irritating especially a concentrated, focused amount of it on the intestinal lining. This kinda crap reminds of the 1918 or so studies where enormous amounts of aspirin were used and it was then said aspirin was terrible for the body.

Consider taking a blood test to measure your morning cortisol.

@sunsunsun said: I learned this from Chris Masterjohn's article where he explains it has to do with CoA and if you are taking b6 it is a good idea to take b5. After reading Sunsunsun’s comment on B5/CoA, as a likely kinetic bottleneck in cellular energy and side-effects on nerve cells, I decided to go deeper in the mechanism. Here are the main points (excerpts) if you are taking HD B6 or trying to optimize the energy levels, when talking about interaction from some supplements like betaine (as a traffic controller) or the Choline-Egg-TMG Connection (role in cell energy & signaling). Summary of the pathway In short, B6 PLP acts as the accelerator pedal for creating cysteine. If you step on that pedal with 20–25 mg of PLP, you must dramatically increase the supply of Vitamin B5 (at a 2:1 ratio) to prevent the system from exhausting. The extra B5 safely captures the excess cysteine, escorts it into Coenzyme A production, and prevents the cellular energy depletion that triggers a neurological shutdown. [image: 1786964093985-bottelneck-b5-coa.png] Even before I even introduce the higher-dose B5 (200 mg), my setup was already highly defensive. The combination of TMG, Choline/Eggs, and periodic Methyl-B9/B12 creates a massive upstream buffer. It actively prevents a massive, sudden tidal wave of cysteine from hitting the B5 pathway all at once, while Inositol protects the nerve membranes. Further details can be found on my forum to see how I manage and more, e.g.: “How I Manage Brain scrambling following admin issues” in order to block “the noise”, enhance alpha brain waves and synergize GABA-like effects when combining magnesium bisglycinate (1.3 g), L-theanine (200 mg), taurine powder (500-1000 mg). NB1: You’ll need caffeine to go through the doc (10 pages docx), with references. NB2: These references don’t go through when I post here on bioenergetic forum.

I've been reading about acerola supplements. It seems quite common that they are made from unripened acerola cherries. Because at the unripened stage, it contains more vitamin C. I wonder if this is problematic? Reminds me of Ray Peat's reservations about coconut water, pointing out that it's often made using unripe coconuts because they contain more liquid. Instinct tells me consuming unripened fruit, even in dried powder form, aint so smart.

@disfrutarlo The cardihaler looks good. I don't know enough about it without using it. The carbogen machine I have limits the CO2 to 10%, and cake with a mask that makes it inconvenient to sleep with. That was in all likelihood the intent in the design, as the current version pretty much limits usage to something like 15 minutes per session. This was done to limit unforeseen mishaps in extended use. In a sue happy world, imagined unlikely events can be created to drive a nice and healthful idea and product into bankruptcy. I had to modify my already 'unsafe v1 version of the carbogen machine so that I can breathe carbogen the whole night to get the maximum benefits from its unrestricted use.

@Mauritio What effects did you notice from 3a-DHP and at what doses?

@Mossy, I’m sorry to hear that the gold potatoes came out undercooked. They’re the only mature variety I’ve used in years so I don’t remember how cooking times compare. With the babies, I always roast gold and red together for my dad’s meals and they cook evenly. Fingers crossed your next attempt is successful. That’s essentially what I tell my dad, that the medical industry is great at emergency care, but not so much preventative and long-term care. I can understand your apprehension with Western medicine, given your experience with it. I’ve been let down too, and not just by allopathic medicine, but alternative, as well. 20 years as a medical industry guinea pig and the horror stories I could share. I understand. I have a dream I’m saving up for so $7 for a dozen eggs would be too rich for my budget also, had I not designed the rest of my diet to be so cheap. Along with canned seafood, the eggs are the cheapest, most nutrient dense protein I have access to and the only animal protein I eat daily so even at $24 a week in eggs, my grocery bill is the lowest it has been in 20 years because the rest of my diet is mostly tuna, fruit and homemade veggie soups, with occasional splurges like sea scallops and raw dairy. Welsh-Italian is a neat combination. My nieces’ father was born in Wales so I think I have an idea of what you mean by looking Welsh. I can imagine serotonin, gut dysbiosis and/or sensitivities to the chemicals commercial plantains/bananas produce in response to stress (how they’re grown and shipped) being possible factors. Ripening plantains was tricky for me, too. If I couldn’t buy them at a certain level of ripeness, I didn’t bother because I was guaranteed mold otherwise. It’s so great that you didn’t get a serotonin effect from the banana nut bread! I won’t tell the Peaty police about the walnuts, if you don’t tell them about my current love affair with eggs. Yep, I’m grilling outdoors. I have a pretty good system going. The grill is on my back deck right off the kitchen through a sliding door so it’s a smooth transition from fridge to grill to table, and the majority of the fruit (squash, bell peppers etc.) I grill is picked fresh from self-watering GrowBox planters on the deck. This deters animals from eating all the fruit as the deck abuts dense woods and I’ve had fruit-loving coyote pups playing with each other on my lawn all summer long. For yogurt, I was making skyr, but switched to coconut yogurt when protein was triggering the dysautonomia and I liked it so much that I’ve continued making it since. I use it as a mayo substitute for my egg and tuna salads. One last video. Being water while doing chores…  https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Ca2qjfFMJgg

@Mossy Thank you!

@wester130 thank you very much for sharing. I'll look into it, as I haven't seen it mentioned much.

If it's a tolerable price and you can tightly control the concentrations (at least 2 things in the ingredients could easily kill you) without attracting crippling attention, it's an obvious winner. Maybe reduce the alcohol, replace it with glycerol and add some menthol or citrus extract.

@ThinPicking lol. 80s metal and 30s science

@disfrutarlo You can buy molds from which you can make suppositories of 2ml volume each from Amazon. I get a good idea of how to incorporate essential oils into a carrier oil like coconut oil from essential oil therapy books. Kurt Schnaubelt, PhD, has written a few books and I've read them to get started on it. He explains it thoroughly, to a science level that I think with some patience lay people can understand. There are many other authors but I haven't read them. I just moved and everything is in shambles as I try to get things flowing so I can't give you exact titles but search tools and AI will easily fill you in.
