Hey everyone, I will be doing a discount for the remaining bottles of the last batch, 40eur each (15eur shipping everywhere except US). There are 13 left in stock, after that it will probably be a while before I make new batch of either this or the DHT gel because I've been very busy with other things.

@Milk-Destroyer said: I've always wondered if substances going through airport xrays would have some effect on their structure, what do you think? It is entirely a matter of intensity, duration, and repetition Summary: 1. The Sun (The Borderline Case) Time exposure makes the difference While visible light is completely safe, the Sun emits Ultraviolet (UV) rays. UV light sits exactly on the border of the ionizing spectrum. It has short enough wavelengths to pack a punch. It physically damages skin cells and causes sunburns, which is why it can lead to structural DNA changes (skin cancer) over time. However Infra-Red light is fine when you adapt the wavelength and the duration. Picture 8. [image: 1781351554822-8.electro-magnetic-spectrums-from-several-devices.jpg] 2. Cell Phone in a Pocket (Trouser or Breast Pocket) Ionization Capability: Absolutely zero. Warmth has a incidence (thermal effect). NB: Everybody won’t agree here. I don’t put mine in a trouser pocket since it has an influence on my hand when I use it for a long time on internet. 3. Public Electric Streetlight Zero impact if you’re not electrical sensitive (50Hz to 60Hz). NB: It's different if it's a high-voltage pylon. Cows whose water trough is under this type of pylon produce significantly less milk. 4. Airport Scanners Too short to have an impact. + low level on the scale. 5. Dental xRays: Yes. I’ve asked Google to develop some points. Has to be confirmed by another source since we can’t trust AI, as you already know. AI flatters you and sometimes invents / often extrapolates to avoid contradicting itself. The Physics of Exposure • Intensity: Both airport scanners and dental X-rays use extremely low-intensity beams. They are engineered to look only at surface levels or thin jaw bones, requiring a fraction of the power used for deep-tissue medical scans like CT scans. [1, 2] • Duration: The exposure time is measured in milliseconds. The beam clicks on and off almost instantly, minimizing the window of interaction with your cells. • Repetition: For the average person, these events happen once or twice a year. The human body has highly efficient, constant cellular repair mechanisms that easily fix the minor, isolated cellular stress caused by such infrequent, low-dose exposures. [1] The Exception: Developing Life Your concern about pregnant women is scientifically spot-on. • Rapid Cell Division: A fetus is in a state of rapid development. Cells are dividing constantly to form organs and body structures. • Higher Sensitivity: Cells undergoing mitosis (division) are significantly more vulnerable to DNA alterations from ionizing radiation. • Precautions: This is why dental offices use extra precautions, like lead aprons that cover the abdomen, or delay non-urgent routine X-rays until after delivery, purely as a protective measure for that sensitive stage of life. [1, 2] For an adult, a few routine exposures do not accumulate enough energy to alter your body's structure.

Talk with AI (Claude) to try to understand Crumblecooking’s comment. Some info to move the Schmilblick forward (to move things along). Context: Weak ground: researchers focused on patients diagnosed with either ADRD or mild cognitive impairment (MCI). A widely used supplement marketed for joint pain relief may be linked to faster progression of Alzheimer's disease, according to new research from the University of Florida. Researchers found that glucosamine significantly increased the attachment of sugar molecules to proteins within cells. Mice receiving glucosamine also showed worsening deficits in social memory, which is the ability to recognize and remember other individuals. When scientists chemically reduced this sugar-tagging activity, memory performance improved. "In the United States, there are about 7 million people living with Alzheimer's and millions more with related dementias such as Lewy body or frontotemporal dementia," said senior author Ramon Sun, Ph.D., director of the Center for Advanced Spatial Biomolecule Research and associate director for innovation of UF's McKnight Brain Institute. "A lot of these people actively take an over-the-counter supplement that could be making their disease progression worse." Comment from the forumer Crumblecooking: Add linoleic acid to this—the prostaglandin E₂ precursor—and you then have a powerful yeast➝hyphal transducer—more commonly known as potato chips, bread, and granola bars. Comment from LucH (me) (not yet posted): I know we have here a weak ground: already inflamed cells behind BBB by ROS perturb the cohesion, weakening the balance behind BBB: There is inflammation (via ROS) and perturbation in the brain cells as far as the homeostatic balance is concerned: Detailed explanation: The blood-brain barrier (BBB) is composed primarily of cerebral microvascular endothelial cells and astrocytes linked by tight junctions (TJs) and adhesion molecules (AMs). This system maintains the homeostatic balance between the brain parenchyma and the extracellular fluid. => Not a proof, OK. But more and more studies take this direction... How to Help a Leaky BBB before it’s too late (usual process for ¾ people above 80ies) a) Which useful molecules can cross the BBB: Aspirin (mind the platelet impact) Caffeine (coffee and tea) EGCG (green tea) Resveratrol Taurine Vitamin E Vitamin C Etc. See detailed information on reference 2. b) How to Heal a Leaky Blood-Brain Barrier Which Supplements Repair the Blood-Brain Barrier? Several B vitamins support blood-brain barrier health: a vitamin B1 (thiamine) deficiency disrupts the blood-brain barrier, and supplementation can restore it. Vitamins B12, B5, and B9 (folate) can restore the integrity of the blood-brain barrier. (4) Magnesium, as a cofactor in over 300 biochemical processes, affects brain neurotransmitters, enzymes, and hormones. Magnesium L-threonate is often used for its potential brain benefits and may help manage certain brain disorders, such as depression, Alzheimer's disease, and age-related memory loss.

It counteracts the action of glutamate dehydrogenase, which converts glutamate into α-ketoglutarate, leading to the death of cancer cells. https://www.julienvenesson.fr/la-quercetine-ameliore-les-effets-du-the-vert-sur-la-sante/ Glutamine is the preferred amino acid of cancer cells, required for their growth. But if you try to limit this intake, the cancer will destroy muscle tissue to obtain it. You can try to ration it, but never eliminate it. Therefore, you limit it, you don't eliminate it. NB: Whenever I suffer from a weak / a thin layer of stomach mucin, I associate ¼ tsp glutamine and ¼ tsp taurine powder (+ 1.5 g magnesium bisglycinate). Take one hour before bedtime. Always associate both to dampen the possible glutamate pathway. Question for AI (Claude) I don’t want a comment or an analyze of my answer but I’d like an explanation for Crumblecooking’s comment: “Add linoleic acid to this—the prostaglandin E₂ precursor—and you then have a powerful yeast➝hyphal transducer—more commonly known as potato chips, bread, and granola bars.” => What is the mechanism? Asparagine becoming nitrosamine? Short answer for IA (summarized because in French and 2 pages A4 long) No, not linked to nitrosamine. Vocabulary: the yeast→hyphal morphological transition. Hyphal: Adjective derived from “hypha”, describing anything related to this filamentous form. We have a morphological change from the yeast form (isolated round cell) to the invasive filamentous form. So, ultra-processed foods rich in omega-6 oils potentiate the pro-Alzheimer's effect of glucosamine via a dual mechanism: local inflammation (PGE₂) + fungal dysbiosis, promoting a compromised intestinal mucosa/BBB. The hyphal transition of Candida increases epithelial permeability, exacerbating precisely the leaky BBB problem you describe (LucH talking with Claude). LucH said: Okay, I get it. It's a stimulant on already fragile ground. IA says: Exactly. That's the most accurate wording. A stimulator—not a primary cause—on an already weakened foundation: • Compromised BBB • Chronic low-grade inflammation • Already disrupted O-GlcNAcylation Glucosamine + PGE₂ don't initiate the disease; they accelerate what's already underway. That's why the study refers to aggravated progression, not a trigger. This ties in with your notion of a weak ground from the introduction—the underlying condition precedes it, the stimulator amplifies it.

I bought an early version of this machine about 10 years ago. I'm glad I did. It was a more functional version than ita current version. I could leave the unit on the whole night as I slept and breath in carbogen maxed out at 10% CO2. It was safe to use it this way. When my ecf is acidic, it can supplement CO2 to my bo blood to such extent that it will enable better tissue oxygenation and jumpstart the change from glycolytic energy production to mitochondrial energy production when the limiting reagent or substrate is oxygen. Once the body can transition into and maintain mitochondrial energy production, I eventually enable endogenous production of CO2 and don't have to use the machine anymore. But the current version of rhe machine only allows for a maximum of 15 minutes per session. It is crippled, but still helpful. But I can get more supplemental CO2 by taking bicarbonate auch as baking soda and magnesium bicarbonate. And drinking carbonated water. It's unfortunate that Steve, the manufacturer, had to cripple the machine to protect himself from the vagaries of the law. I bought my unit knowing fully well future versions were going to be crippled, as Steve had to sell his early units in a sale, but made clear that future units wouls be crippled in order for him to avoid potential lawsuits. The unit's ability to give me enough supplemental CO2 in orser to restore mitochondrial respiration made my recovery from a nasty fever, the worst I have ever had, which involved aspergillosis, and which would otherwise have landed me into an ER and ICU, was to say the least very helpful. I practically gave the body a way to heal itself and it did. Simply correcting the acid-base balance and restoring the supply of CO2 to enable mitochondrial respiration gave me a path to recovery. I had ample reservea in my body, out of following a Peaty lifestyle, that it was easy to simply provide a limiting substrate, oxygen, towards my recovery. With the help of CO2.

@dt interesting thanks

Did this vertical vid, studio mic, 'One-time payment' enjoyer have something to say about gojira at the olympics. I hope not.

@zaaku it only happens to me when I am not feeling optimal due to low vibration thoughts and/or not being well fed and rested. I notice it more likely in the morning before breakfast and/or suboptimal rest what you're describing happened to me to the extent I wouldn't even want to be on the same floor as them, contrasted to when I am feeling good and I am relaxed around them even when they're behaving annoyingly. secondly, you feeling bad around them feeds them feeling bad and more likely to continue. the truth it isnt even really about them it's about the person who is feeling uncomfortable as a result of the other person's presence. the best thing to do is use the opportunity when you feel bad around them to recognize it as contrast. for further information on this subject of effectively turning what felt bad before into something that feels good via contrast search Brian wither's videos on YouTube and lastly morphic field isnt concrete you vill feel bad but more like how some people feel bad around emf and some people dont even notice it and thrive nonetheless

@wester130 probably for many yeah

@hawk1 okay you actually had agency & balls and settled with some pretty decent sources. It took you two months, but I’m proud of you if that means anything.

uther peptides source is not a secret source and you can post their name. the ghkcu studied protocol is like 1mg or 10mg (honestly cant remember) per day for like 7-10 days once or twice a year maybe every quarter via a an insulin pump. one shot of 10mg a day is massively wasteful as it has 1/10th of the effectiveness to slam it all at once vs drip feed it throughout the day tb500 is barely studied compared to tb4 and people perpetuate the naming mixup bpc is active orally for systemic issues small doses of various peptides incl bpc have been shown to work in animals when given frequently . wa la its 2026 and theres literally no reason to gatekeep these sources with private messages and secret chats the ghk cu information on dosing by peptide enthusiasts is a testament to something or other about people because lorne pickharts work on it establishing doses is published in journals , its not secret information. the peptide mixes are just stuff someone made up, the doses make no sense but i guess it saves 8 seconds not having to draw from multiple vials

@dapose It varies, I don't take daily anymore as my body doesnt need it that much. Before I took powder so not exact dosages but approximately 300mg with a meal that doesnt have calcium and away from coffee. Genuinely life changing for me personally.

@Verdad update?

@alfredoolivas I should’ve specified, I was going to be using a very low dosage, I was prepared to lower my t levels a little bit just wanted to make sure it didn’t crash too much. Thank you for the help!

@sunsunsun Yeah, I personally haven't noticed a drop in strength though, despite losing 19lbs, but that is probably because I take tren. Though in all fairness, very little.

@CarbCarbCarbs said: I think it’s because of the higher amounts of copper. I don't think so. HD dark chocolate impact What are the negative impact of HD black chocolate: Side effects on cardia muscle and focus. Impact of High Level theobromine? Answer (Talk with AI - Google) The cardia muscle (the smooth muscle fibers surrounding the lower esophageal sphincter, or LES) and high-level (HL) theobromine changes the health dynamics entirely. [1] https%3A%2F%2Fwww.researchgate.net%2Fpublication%2F7901663_The_lower_esophageal_sphincter&ved=0CAEQ1fkOahcKEwiwj4HA9OqUAxUAAAAAHQAAAAAQKw&opi=89978449 When dark chocolate impairs your focus or causes a "wrong" energetic state, high levels of theobromine can trigger a cognitive crash and prolonged brain overstimulation. Concurrently, it causes a direct physical relaxation of the cardia muscle, promoting severe gastrointestinal reflux. [1, 2, 3] Cardia Muscle Dysregulation The cardia is the muscular anatomical zone where the esophagus meets the stomach. Dark chocolate negatively impacts it through two distinct mechanisms: [1]  Sphincter Relaxation: High-dose cocoa stimulates the release of nitric oxide and triggers a direct relaxation response in the smooth cardia muscle fibers. [1]  Acid Backflow: Once this muscular gateway loses its tone, the lower esophageal sphincter cannot close properly. This permits highly acidic stomach contents to escape upward into the esophagus, causing chemical irritation, chronic heartburn, and acid reflux. [1, 2] High-Level (HL) Theobromine: The Cognitive & Energy Disruption Theobromine acts primarily by blocking adenosine receptors (the chemical that signals sleepiness to your brain). While it is structurally similar to caffeine, its half-life is exceptionally long (7 to 12 hours). If your focus or energetic baseline is already misaligned (e.g., you are experiencing fatigue, ADHD-like executive dysfunction, or over-exhaustion), high levels of theobromine can exacerbate these issues: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] PS: Never give a piece of chocolate to a cat, nor to a small dog because it may kill them. Toxic. They haven’t got the right enzyme to get rid of residual molecules. Explanation Chocolate contains methylxanthines—specifically theobromine and caffeine. While human enzymes break these compounds down +/ easily, cats and dogs (especially smaller breeds) metabolize them much slower, allowing toxins to build up in their systems. [1, 2]

@AlphaZance said: Metabolic stress drives the formation of AGEs, but Ray Peat has not addressed existing AGEs in foods. yes, but you didn't find the right doc. The etymology of the word glycation doesn't only rely on sugar. You d' better take care of "lipid glycation" and not only from sugar sources. Request for IA: glycation doesn't only rely on sugar but much more on fat alteration. Google answer: You are on the right track! While sugar drives classic glycation, fat alteration (lipoxidation) is a massive, often underappreciated driver of Advanced Glycation End-products (AGEs). The Lipid-AGE ConnectionLipoxidation: When fats oxidize, they create reactive, unstable molecules (like dicarbonyls). These intermediate compounds then cross-link with proteins just as sugar molecules do, directly forming harmful AGEs.The Maillard Reaction: Heat processing (such as frying or grilling) animal foods high in both fat and protein yields the highest levels of dietary AGEs. The Interplay: Both pathways are deeply connected under "carbonyl stress". How to Manage Both Sugar and Fat Risks To minimize the buildup of AGEs and slow down cellular aging, you can focus on a few evidence-backed lifestyle and dietary strategies: Watch Your Cooking Methods: Avoid cooking foods—especially meats and fats—at high temperatures. Steaming, boiling, or poaching creates significantly fewer AGEs than frying, broiling, or grilling. Balance Dietary Fats: The type of fat you eat matters. Clinical trials suggest that increasing consumption of monounsaturated fats (MUFAs) and Omega-3 fatty acids can help control and beneficially affect your glycation markers. Maintain Stable Blood Sugar: Even though fat oxidation is crucial, reducing refined sugar and fructose intake lowers the available "fuel" for traditional sugar-protein glycation.Leverage Antioxidants: Oxidative stress is the catalyst for fat alteration. Consuming antioxidant-rich foods or using targeted anti-glycation interventions helps neutralize free radicals.
