@AL you are the best thanks

@otto -Awesome

@Mauritio so, I actually have one version of that, and tried that in camphosal, and I couldn't tell what disolved or didn't, as it also has niacinamide in it... I didn't see any significant improvement in my tongue, but it could've been due to the small amount I used as I was nervous about it actually working before I used all my camphosal (alternatively, could camphosal expire after 8 months after the date on the bottle?)...

I wonder if "cuprous nicotinic acid" dissolves in camphosal, just like regular copper.

This means that stimulating synthesis of CoA and CoA-Ac will strongly increase histone acetylation. Which should be a complement (or beginner's alternative) to inhibiting histone deacetylation (HDACi).

👍 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3377114/

decreased acetylation of these proteins is associated with an impaired DNA damage response, decreased locomotor function and decreased survival. Decreased protein acetylation and the concurrent phenotypes are partly rescued by pantethine and HDAC inhibitors

Wrt to cancer there actually seems to be some specific merit to inhibiting CoA availability in lung and breast cancers, where the SMVT appears significantly upregulated, effectively supplying the tumorous cells with increased supplies of biotin (and pantothenic acid), promoting cell survival and proliferation (which we would like to see more of in non-tumorous but of course not in tumorous tissues).

👌

@ThinPicking Thanks for weighing in

@yzzy I didn't want to assume their gender

@DakotaWorrell You will never, ever be able to "figure this out". We all have different diet histories, activity levels, etc.

I think that as long as you're staying well under known toxic doses, you feel good, and you have some degree of balance between nutrients that are known to interact (ex. vitamin d, k,a; phosphorous:calcium, protein:carbs), that's about the best you can do.

@Corngold go to Spain or western Canada for a vacation xD

@NoeticJuice said in Iodine as a game changer:

I've read elsewhere that vitamin C, B2, B3 and magnesium should be supplemented alongside iodine and selenium. Are these not needed?

Magnesium: For sure (preferably bisglycinate Mg). 300 mg Mg element when stressed.
80% people lack RDA (+/ 420 mg)
Vitamin C: I'd take 2 or 3 very mini pinches of powder. mind the kind (...).
Target 500 mg.
Riboflavin B2: yes but not required every day. 2 or 3X+wk.
B2 is a cofactor essential for various enzymes involved in energy production and neurotransmitter synthesis in the brain. Hypothyroidism can impair the conversion of riboflavin to its active forms, potentially leading to functional riboflavin deficiency.
B1 B2 and B3 + Biotin are often associated. We lack 50 % B1 to assimilate carbs. 2x/wk a complex B50 (co-enzymed).
If you're in the fog, or if you lack energy, a higher level of B1 could be needed. 100 mcg.
(+ glycine via collagen or bone broth). See the posts of mostlylurking.
Note: There is no proof but ... We lack thiamine, as explained. Thiamine deficiency can exacerbate symptoms like fatigue, especially in individuals with hypothyroidism, and supplementation can potentially improve these symptoms.

@Corngold, I find the most accurate reading is a rectal reading. Compared to orally and axillary, my temp is at least 1° higher when taken rectally. When the temp is low in comparison to how warm one feels, it’s likely due to adrenaline compensating for poor thyroid function by keeping the core temp up. Often, one or more of the extremities (feet, hands, nose and ears) will be cooler as adrenaline cuts off circulation to them to keep vital organs warm. One way to tell is by taking the temp about 20–30 minutes after eating. If running on adrenaline, the temp will, in most cases, be lower.

theres multiple posts on the reddit sub about experiencing problems by removing iodized salt from diet.
i used to use pickling salt, it’s idiotic to cook and season with except in soups where it totally dissolves. i actually got some sort of stomach issue that lasted weeks before it resolved from accidently swallowing a bunch of undissolved kosher salt crystas in my coffee. i actually almost threw up a couple times drinking the super concentrated undissolved pickling salt crystals in my milk too
i went back to iodized salt

search the reddit sub. theres one user that says they/them are allergic to seafood and that xer got suicidal after two months off iodized salt and it instantly resolved in two minutes after taking a bit of iodized salt in the middle of the night when xer was on auto pilot as if their body knew they needed it

thyroid hormone is dosed and micrograms and iirc is sensitive to light

@yerrag 100%!

Similar to what alot of the keto and carnivore ones thought about reducing/eliminating carbs, and later on realised their mistake(s) (e.g. Thomas Delauer, Mercola, Paul Saladino etc.), though I'm still waiting for Eric Berg to come to that realisation too 😉

@Kilgore I'm sure we'll both get a lot of use out of it. This is designed much better to make it convenient to use. I hardly used the ones I bought from Redlightman.

@Pooooop Get a 2000-3000K, as light as possible. Ideally you want the light as warm as possible and as high wattage as possible. If I remember there were plenty of 250W 2800K incandescent lights available for cheap

@PrinceTrebata yes I remember ray saying that. I also recall that he said a small amount of progesterone combined with a little dhea (for example 8mg p4 with one mg dhea) would have a similar effect as pregnenolone would have:

@NoeticJuice lovely reply boss
