@sunsunsun I have been doing 1.5mg every day the last few weeks The appetite suppression is real, and sometimes I have to remember to eat something to get carbs and protein in The libido increase is just as advertised after using a few times and something you have to try to believe The tanning seems to be like a microdose of melanotan, as I'm tanning a little easier but not dramatically so The metabolism increase seems to be there, as I get tired from hypoglycemia easier and need more carbs to offset it

@wester130 said: @jamezb46 i am going to try Black Seed Essential Oil is that an acceptable substitute Hands down this is much much better. Just coming in isolated without being in a form reeking of PUFA makes it very potent with all its anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial benefits. It is a quinone, but it is much more if I just consider it being possibly a solution to my recurring high blood pressure arising from my system having a deep reservoir of deeply rooted synergistic pathogens ranging from bacteria and cell-wall deficient forms to fungal forms. In killing these microbes, I also have to deal with endotoxins and its highly inflammatory as well as highly oxidative effects. I plan on using it as part of a stack which I have been using and my blood pressure has lowered but has reached a wall of resistance. Will likely use it as a suppository in an VCO carrier oil or an EVOO carrier oil, just to bypass the liver first pass. Because I don't see myself using 50mg of it each day as I would in taking a 1000mg capsule of 5% TQ (in Sabel's Ethiopian souced product), because that much is needed to compensate for the PUFA load in Sabel's product, I consider the price of $60 per bottle of 360 drops at 4mg TQ per drop being cost effective with a daily dose of 24mg, which amounts to 6 drops a day. This would make a bottle last for 60 days. I am assuming 24mg unPUFA'ed TQ would be as potent as 50mg PUFA'ed TQ in Sabel's capsule. Guys, I am doggedly in pursuit of my goal of lowering my bp to normal levels. It has only begun to bear encouraging results the past year. The end is near.

@hawk1 @hawk1 I'd be careful with stacking a bunch of bioregulators at once. If you decide to try them I'd start with one and see how you respond before adding anything else. From what I've seen epitalon and pinealon are probably the most commonly discussed for sleep and recovery, while cartalax gets mentioned a lot for joint support. The biggest challenge is that there's not a ton of high- quality human data on many of these, so it can be hard to separate real effects from placebo. If sleep and recovery are your main goals I'd focus there first before experimenting with performance related peptides.

@evan.hinkle yes i agree it isn't conclusive, all theory

@CrumblingCookie Hesperedin/ Hesperitin are interesting substances. IIRC @cs3000 posted some good studies on them on the RPF. And not only is it anti-fungal, but in accordance with the topic of this thread, it could help with fungal issues via alleviating cholestasis / helping with bile flow. It is an FXR agonist: "HP prevented bile acid toxicity in HepaRG cells, and this effect was blocked by FXR silencing. HP appears to activate FXR to prevent cholestatic liver injury." And a Cholagogue: "...HP promoted bile acid excretion into feces..." https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32841642/ Also seems to be anti-estrogenic and activates 5HT1a https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23238426/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22996046/

I think it has to do with bile flow issues /cholestasis. IIRC a progesterone metabolite is implicated in pregnancy induced cholestasis. "Significantly less hepatic bile partitioned into the gallbladder in progesterone-treated than in control animals." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC1191632/ Ive had similar issues in the past when taking pregnenolone and progesterone. Id try some things that help with cholestasis like TUDCA, gentian or cascara.

@Atman cool thanks i also agree my original post is more a critique of bad local city council development practices, like doing stuff that makes built environment worse for another generation because economic will to tear down something just built even when it is bad is low

@gg12 In natural form and size, it already works. Nano is not only superfluous, but isn't proven safe.

@springsnow check DMs

Fresh berries and sliced bananas are always good upgrade. You can also do warm cinnamon apples, stewed cherries or a little vanilla Greek yogurt with fruit.

@CrumblingCookie megadosing ghkcu is literally proven suboptimal by the studies , and ghk base and ghkcu are interchangeable. the former will just pick up cu in serum. thats all.

@alfredoolivas fuck

I thought aspirin and/or baking soda w water is good for afterwards? Gummy bears or fruit before and during lifting, no?

@sunsunsun, thank you for sharing. We have a similar meal that’s a staple in my family, except we have the baked beans on the side. I’ll try it on the milk bread and see what my dad thinks. Thanks again!

@Milk-Destroyer I steam potatoes for 75minutes and then peel them with a knife. russet potato peels especially seem suboptimal. the French are correct in their method of potato preparation. Then instead of adding butter I just eat with 87/13 ground beef and use the fat from that mixed in the potatoes. with ketchup and finely diced raw red onion.

I live in china, I got it from taobao

@DKJoeAgain said: If not all of this is still just speculation right? Easier to say lots of odd people end up in prison. Which part. @wester130 said: some form of neurodivergent condition @DKJoeAgain said: Have they identified a single biological marker for autism It's a behavioral exam but the autonomic component may have markers.

@CrumblingCookie interested in hearing more about this.
