@Kilgore Thanks!

Wow. Those are some additional challenges. Coincidentally, my brother just survived a 4 day hospital stay for congestive heart failure.

I think your perspective of leaning on Peat and alternative counterculture, as a defense against status quo medical pathology, is the general perspective of most of us. But, just as you say, it's challenging, and can be daunting, because we are limited. I hope more alternative and naturopathic doctors adopt bioenergetic and similar principles to help those like us to bridge the gap, so we don't have to play doctor. There does seem to be a trend of some going that way. My thought is that it really won't be at its best until it's local, so we can have real-doctor support.

I've seen some pretty crazy results with head massage on Perfect Hair Health website, I dunno. It definitely works, but the results pairing it with other things are usually better.

@Homebythesea said in Ray Peat and h pylori:

Can anyone please send me a link where Peat talks about h pylori?

@dizzle101 has sent the best link. Peatbot.com is another resource that might be helpful as well. AI stitches together the pieces and helps make sense of it all.

Peatbot.com: To treat H. pylori, Ray Peat suggests using antibiotics such as clarithromycin or erythromycin, and pen-V-K or amoxicillin. Additionally, olive oil has been noted for its potential effectiveness. A study by Medina et al. indicated that virgin olive oil has a bactericidal effect against H. pylori due to certain phenolic compounds. In clinical trials, virgin olive oil showed moderate effectiveness in eradicating H. pylori, although further studies are needed to confirm these findings. It's important to follow a treatment plan for a sufficient duration, typically two to three weeks, to ensure effectiveness.

@eduardo-crispino didn’t majority latino men vote trump XD what is real life rn bro. This is gonna flip a culture on its head bro 😄

Last couple of days, I’ve been taking my pill of Novothyral very early in the morning, several hours before first meal of the day.
I’ve decided to stay on a stable dose and not varying doses from day to day.
And I’m seeing again a big increase in energy levels and vitality. It’s clear that T4 absorption is significantly increased when taken on empty stomach.

This is the fatty acid composition of the three fats. Margarine actually only has slightly higher PUFA content than olive oil and less MUFA than it. So overall margarine contains less unsaturated fats than olive oil does.

One reason olive oil performs so well despite its high UFA content, might be its polyphenol content, containing oleocanthal, hydroxytyrosol or even small amounts of policosanol.

I've talked about their pro-metabolic, testosterone enhancing effects here:

@Gardner True 1 kg at least for me .... thats a meal for me and a must addition for some dishes / like ketchup for americans and mayonnaise for french and italians

@ThinPicking I'm kind of reminded of the way in which Georgi treated mice with, I think it was B1, B3, B7, Aspirin to reverse tumor growth. If tumor growth can be considered a problem of "de-integration" of cells per Warburg (in my head, this is cells "ceasing to trust" the body to provide for them and making do on their own), could "penumbral" brain tissue be brought back into integration in a similar way?

Solving the problem of blood and fluid flow would seem like the important thing. Michael Levin's work in bioelectric organization may be applicable.

The biology stuff in above is interesting. Reminds me of Mind and Tissue by Ray Peat.

@LucH More good information. Thank you. 🖐

@winters2 said in pqq- an essential nutrient?:

t’s an odd thing to consider, but some sources see it as an essential nutrient

Yes, I agree, to optimize energy but not as the primary fuel. Must be seen as a protector against ROS. Very powerful and expensive.
However I didn't notice any effect (positive or negative). Logical for ROS protection (under the radar).
Make an addition of quinones to see if it's pertinent. Liver has to manage this side-effect.

@jamezb46 When I am shutdown there is a very obvious low pregnenolone feeling, ontop of that my balls shrink very noticeably. Shutdown for me only happens on test esters, not DHTs. And even then shutdown only occurs from excessive aromatization (think of deca or NPP only cycles) and antagonizing bound estrogen reverses it instantly

@Decimus101 I changed my mind on the product, sorry, it's not for sale

T base gives me brain fog so I assume it is contaminated

make it yourself if you want, the recipe works

@lobotomize-me interesting, thanks. There are good points, but there are also some things I disagree with or want to add nuance on.

It would be wrong (depending on context) to say that there's increased right hemisphere activity, but I don't think it would be wrong (although not the whole picture) to say that there's increased access to (or reliance on) right hemisphere functions. There's a difference there.

While the left hemisphere is often thought of as analytical and logical, the right hemisphere is also involved in reasoning, including in deductive reasoning and some types of mathematical reasoning.

This is a better summary of the main differences between the hemispheres:

@NoeticJuice said in Quotes from books:

"If one had to encapsulate the principal differences in the experience mediated by the two hemispheres, their two modes of being, one could put it like this. The world of the left hemisphere, dependent on denotative language and abstraction, yields clarity and power to manipulate things that are known, fixed, static, isolated, decontextualised, explicit, disembodied, general in nature, but ultimately lifeless. The right hemisphere, by contrast, yields a world of individual, changing, evolving, interconnected, implicit, incarnate living beings within the context of the lived world, but in the nature of things never fully graspable, always imperfectly known — and to this world it exists in a relationship of care. The knowledge that is mediated by the left hemisphere is knowledge within a closed system. It has the advantages of perfection, but such perfection is bought ultimately at the price of emptiness, of self-reference. It can mediate knowledge only in terms of a mechanical rearrangement of other things already known. It can never really 'break out' to know anything new, because its knowledge is of its own representations only. Where the thing itself is 'present' to the right hemisphere, it is only 're-presented' by the left hemisphere, now become an idea of a thing. Where the right hemisphere is conscious of the Other, whatever that may be, the left hemisphere's consciousness is of itself."

There's of course much more detail to be added about the differences, which is why there's an entire book (or half of a book) about it.

Canadian rancher Maggie is laughing at this study 😁

Not really. High carb makes me hungry and I haven't seen much results with low fat milk or low fat in general. Lots of sunlight seems to help but between cold climate and chemtrails it's rare. There was a time I dropped a decent amount, I was eating yogurt and fruit daily. But that basically ended by winter which is >7 months where I'm at. My theory is lots of pufa early in life, stress, emf radiation are keeping things stagnant. I don't lift or run but have a lot of walking / physical work. I'm almost certain sugar is being stored as fat.
