@Rah1woot

I feel that being erect and well-postured is no different from having good materials used in constructing a building.

When I finished a year of taking therapeutic magnesium, with the intent of beefing up my magnesium stores for good bowel movement without relying on eating fiber (which I had always relied on pre-Peat), and which isn't good as fiber breeds bacteria that produces serotonin for bowel movement - I noticed it seemed natural and effortless for me to stand straight (like the way Ronald Reagan would stand, for I admired his bearing).

Together with having good calcium sources in what I eat, as well as magnesium sources, especially in well cooked leaves, I found that the body would more easily support itself .

Weston Price would observe the good structure of tribal people as well. They have a natural good posture, and they don't go to fashion modeling school to walk like models would.

I had bad posture growing up. And by some twist of fate, I met a car accident and I was laid to recover in a hospital for a month, with a minor fracture at my thoracic. I was put on a cast for 3 months after being released, and was told I have to do a daily backstretch exercise to develop back muscles to further give support to the spine, weakened by the minor fracture. All these I went through and did, and my posture improved. But I don't wish a car accident on anyone, and I recommend good nutrition instead, especially with calcium and magnesium. I'll throw in the other electrolytes for good measure.

@sharko Gotta agree with Gentle Potato. These comments are presumptuous and offensive:

This is not suitable for bioenergetic research. Instead, it would have been more appropriate to look in depth at why it works differently than other methods, as some have done here.

And, to say that for 20 years you did everything according to Ray Peat and nothing worked the way this protocol works, is a bit of an understatement, when in practice you simply didn't study the science he revealed to us in enough depth.

I have all of Dr Peat's books, and many of his newsletters (and have read them all). He even says women who had migraines in their teens will likely go into irreversible decline at menopause. This would be me. He doesn't provide a solution for this, so I just keep looking. Dr. Peat would approve.

I was in such a low state, my body was crumbling from the inside. I would not have been able to get out of this without additional substances, beyond nutrition.

For example, have you used something that strongly inhibits serotonin and estrogen, like cypro?

Anyway, pure glucose is very interesting! But maybe it's not right to go all-in according to the protocol and instead, carefully integrate it as part of a complete treatment, while understanding the implications.

I believe that pushing a weak body more amounts of glucose than it is able to burn regularly, can come with many risks such as blood vessel leakage, kidney damage, excessive blood thinning and more.

Glucose is one of the most protective components in the body, beyond its use as the main fuel and maybe it is so magical that it can also help to repair the damage caused by its load in the blood, but maybe not...

Science gives us estimates about the amount of glucose that the body can use effectively when it is in an optimal state, but if a person has a very fatty liver and most of his cells burn fat, the numbers are much lower and to find them out, you have to use measurements of sugar in the blood or urine.

Could you move this discussion to another thread in the forum please? Thank you.

@Autism said in What Supplements do you take?/Supplements Reccomendation:

I have never taken any Supplements in my life. I've only been living on eating meat, eggs and on caffeine. I do plan on getting started on Pregnenolone. But I wanted to hear what other people in here take before I test something out.

Im rare here I believe
But I take no supplements
And use food exclusively

Occasionally I really like aspirin for my menstrual cycle purposes

What are you looking for for yourself?

@SpaceManJim it's in his vitamin and mineral 101 guide, idk if it's a paid thing but it's on Anna's archive

note he does not recommend 20mg mk4 that I've seen. that's just an example list I made with that amount. my point is to show maybe megadosing k2 mk4 isn't a great idea if the other fat solubles aren't stocked up

A list of anti-fungals that worked for me:

Thyme essential oil MSM caprylic acid Undecylenic acid Haarlem oil 10-MH Black cumin seeds Lidocaine Rowachol Lentils (just a teaspoon) Vitamin D + K

@functionalgirl
As aspirin (acetyl-salicylic acid) and salicylic acid are only weakly soluble in water, you could use the form of sodium salicylate instead which is very water soluble and available in pure powder form online.

There's a reason libs, the media, DC, and Hollyweird hate him and are constantly suggesting that someone needs to "take him out."

@Lejeboca - thank you for taking the time to respond. I got things twisted around in my mind and it is embarrassing.

I think of the relationship between the eNOS and iNOS isoforms of nitric oxide synthase as being analogous to Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. The "i" in iNOS is related to inflammation, ischemia and intoxication all of which are generally bad. Whereas the "e" is related to the endothelium and is very healthy to have on board. Caldwell Esselstyn had his cardiac patients eat greens all day to maintain high levels of eNOS as part of his successful plan to reverse heart disease.

In 1998, the Noble Prize in Medicine was awarded to 3 people for their work on NO (see press release). This encouraged people to supplement with L-arginine to lower their blood pressure. The excessive iNOS from the supplementation had long term consequences that were not good.

Incidentally, aspirin releases eNOS.

You’re welcome, @RPadmirateur. 🙂 Thank you for letting me know you sent a PM as I wasn’t notified. My apologies if I gave you the impression that I’m a health professional, but I have no medical training so I don’t do consultations.

Complex carbs triggered my hypoglycemia, but not simple sugars—the latter prevented it—and there was no transition to fruitarianism—I developed a severe case of gastritis when I had SIBO, which left me unable to digest anything but fruit. I didn’t go long without eating as that would crash my blood sugar, and there wasn’t a concern for stomach emptying time using dairy, eggs and seafood, no. I take 1 1/2 grains of Armour, no extra T3, with meals, this way I can safely go above the physiological dose of 4 mcg of T3 per hour. Since my diet varied when I still had hypoglycemia, I’ll give you an example day of eating that worked best for me and continues to:

When I first wake up (5:00 am): Tea (decaf or herbal) sweetened with honey or Dolcedi apple sweetener

Breakfast (7:00 am): Compôte with a chunk of raw cheese or flourless banana crêpes stuffed with strained yogurt and an all fruit jam (St. Dalfour), and a glass of juice

Snack (9:00 am): Hot, spiced cider

Lunch (11:30 am): A slice of crustless quiche (3rd pic from the bottom) or seared scallops with honey butter, a glass of raw milk and banana nice cream (last pic)

Snack (2:00 pm): Hot, spiced cider

Dinner (5:00 pm): Strained yogurt with jam or zucchini soup topped with eggs and strained yogurt (2nd pic from the bottom), a glass of raw milk, and a glass of juice

Snack (7:00 pm): Sweetened tea

Basically, I have fruit and animal protein at every meal and juice or tea between meals, and make sure to get sufficient calories throughout the day or else my sleep suffers.

The role of melatonin in bone regeneration: A review of involved signaling pathways
Abstract
Increasing bone resorption followed by decreasing bone mineralization are hallmarks of bone degeneration, which mostly occurs in the elderly population and post-menopausal women. The use of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has raised many promises in the field of bone regeneration due to their high osteoblastic differentiation capacity and easy availability from abundant sources. A variety of compounds, including growth factors, cytokines, and other internal factors, have been combined with MSCs to increase their osteoblastic differentiation capacity. One of these factors is melatonin, whose possible regulatory role in bone metabolism and formation has recently been suggested by many studies. Melatonin also is a potential signaling molecule and can affect many of the signaling pathways involved in MSCs osteoblastic differentiation, such as activation of PI3K/AKT, BMP/Smad, MAPK, NFkB, Nrf2/HO-1, Wnt, SIRT/SOD, PERK/ATF4. Furthermore, melatonin in combination with other components such as strontium, vitamin D3, and vitamin K2 has a synergistic effect on bone microstructure and improves bone mineral density (BMD). In this review article, we aim to summarize the regulatory mechanisms of melatonin in osteoblastic differentiation of MSCs and underling involved signaling pathways as well as the clinical potential of using melatonin in bone degenerative disorders.

@BioEclectic

I have been taking oral magnesium for years too, but looking back at my Mg RBC I really don't see any increase or very little, even though when I started I did feel the calming effect of it

I thought a blood donation I made few months ago may have had an impact to my latest Mg RBC, but I think the test is just a reflection of what is inside the cells.

@Pondamaster said in Nicotine to asprin ratio:

I’m thinking of taking nicotine soon

I suppose you wanted to say nicotinic acid.
Niacine ou niacinamide ?
Vitamin B3 comes in two basic forms - niacin (also called nicotinic acid) and niacinamide (also called nicotinamide). A variation on niacin, called inositol hexaniacinate, is also available in supplements.
I won't take niacin higher than 20-25 mg (skin flush).
When searching for B3, niacin is often used as a generic name. Read the compo in details.
