Amazon has the Contec branded capnograph. It is sold in Asia as not limited to pet use, but in the US it is sold as a pet device.

Contec makes many other good medical devices, but this is its first capnograph afaik. I haven't used it, so I can't vouch for it.

It's likely you'll have to go solo figuring out how to make good use of it in the bioenergetic space. It's worth a shot if it can help you monitor your metabolic condition.

I'm not in a hurry to get one as I have one device I bought 3 years ago and haven't begun using.

@gryffydd Thnx! Was nibbling on it as if it were but quite reassuring to know that Thanks again

@Corngold mushrooms have an amazing ratio and lots of copper

@stahl said in Unable to feel any sort of effect, positive or negative, from any supplement:

Actually, I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel the slightest boost to my alertness from a couple of cups of coffee taken with milk and sugar - but that's the only substance in the Peat sphere I have ever had do anything for me.

Food is a substance in the Peat sphere. How does that treat you? What’s your morning temperature? What’s your resting heart rate? Do you dream interesting dreams? Do you talk nonstop all day? Are you calm under adversity? Do you poop 2-3 times a day?
What are we talking about when you say you don’t feel anything? Peating is about feeling euphoric most of the time. How’s that going?
Ray talked about things like it could take a year or more to find the right dose of thyroid or progesterone. Keep experimenting. That’s the game really.

@GreekDemiGod thx

Excellent, thanks. Fascinating development.

Tuna lines up planetarily with the ocean. Tuna is an octave of ocean energy. In fact, it's the energy of the center of the ocean. It's an energy school that is directly from the center of the ocean. This is an energy that is swimming on our planet right now.

@PrinceTrebata In my case it was enough to stop contact with bacteria that presumably lived off of the various face oils I was depositing in that sleeping mask by being alive. I also like weekly liver a lot after I started to do that recently. Supposedly it can help with keeping the skin/other membranes in a good functional state. But this should not be overdone.

Might also want to try a hairstyle that keeps hair from touching the face as much.

You guys have no tact.

He can't come in guns blazing against vaccines. His whole initiative would be dead on arrival.

During his hearings he emphasized he'll put aside his biases and follow the science.

Long story short, he's already launched a large research effort with hundreds of scientists around he world to square away the cause of autism. If you've followed him long enough, you already know what this entails. He claims the conclusion in September will have the answers. This essentially lays the foundation for the push to alter the vaccine program how he sees fit.

Critics will then be unable to brush him off using "junk science" when the science they'll have to argue against was done by their beloved CDC and other traditionally "establishment" programs around the globe.

So don't throw the baby out with the bath water yet. It's a 2-4yr game we're playing.

@gentlepotato

Do you have a link to him recommending saturated fat with sugary foods? I've seen him recommend fat with starch, but not with sugar.

Unfortunately, no.

I don't know if I updated the thread about it, but I mentioned trying this, think it was in the fall. Without fat definitely feels better for me, at the moment.

Totally, everyone’s liver is in a different place. Also, there is never announced how much fat is consumed. Maybe when I say I’m feeling good on fat+sugar, I’m using like half the fat you are, or maybe you’re half my size, etc.

For me it's all about exploring. RP's suggestions are not recommendations to follow like rules, they're helpful starting points for exploration.

Agreed!

Also aspirin with vit k to improve glucose oxidation

…so many of us haven't gotten better just follow his advice.

To be honest, and it sounds like argumentative defensiveness, but I believe after my own experiences as well as many others, that people autistically follow his advice, but don’t know how to incorporate it. Yes, there’s a difference. I used like 40mcg daily of t3 for 6 months, not advised by him, but in an effort to heal my own liver; Huge bolus’s of progesterone tipped the scales, as well. I realized that while I was saying I was eating healthy and peaty, I was actually getting like 3x the needed daily protein, and twice the needed daily fat. When I thought I was eating enough saturated fat to aid digestion, it should’ve been a little butter and beef fat, I should NOT have been so paranoid of any amounts of pufa’s in animal fats and egg yolks — cholesterol solves most low-fat digestion problems.
— Ray couldn’t help me with these problems, they were my own faulty perceptions, and I read a lot of his works at that.

Aspirin and vit K; sure, can be helpful interventions. But I think for me a huge part of the issue has been that my body has an imbalance in cortisol, and therefore isn't able to store much glucose.

This is another one of those things… aspirin is dose dependent, and many people could be healed from it but are using it wrong, and that’s an important factor. I’ve come to respect Danny’s claiming it’s a Swiss Army knife now, more than when I was first attempting to use it and would give up for a year of something... some of these things can take years to manifest.

A simple daily carrot did so much for me after I got my temps and pulse in order, but before that, it hindered.

Can aspirin and vit K help? Maybe, but it's like bandages on a bullet wound. Supplementing glucose seem to actually bypass the issue/root cause, allows the immune system and liver to work better, and I hope this will lead to recovery.

Agreed, these are all super conditional/symptom specific efforts, and there can be different answers depending…
Pounding oj/milk/progesterone/aspirin/carrot salad, without considering various factors, which means sometimes a certain order spanning years, is to “cargo cult” the problem.

Noticeable info to help damping unbalance microbiome
Iodine exerts antioxidative, antimicrobial, immunomodulatory, and molecular regulatory effects. Iodine alters the proportion of pathogenic and beneficial bacteria to restore the gut microbiome and reduce insulin resistance, obesity, and metabolic syndrome parameters.
Iodine also reduces inflammation by lowering oxidative and endoplasmic reticulum stress caused by free radicals such as reactive oxygen species (ROS).
The mineral acts on type 2 deiodinase (D2) receptors that convert T4 to biologically active T3 to improve weight management and adaptive thermogenesis. (1)
Iodine also interacts with peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPARγ) receptors to enhance adipocyte differentiation, fatty acid uptake, and glucose metabolism …

Info on why and how to manage with iodine (we need 2 kinds: Molecular iodine (I₂) and iodide potassium (IK).
https://bioenergetic.forum/topic/3962/iodine-as-a-game-changer/6
Excerpt:
*) Which kind iodine is used and where?
The thyroid and skin use almost only KI type iodides, or potassium iodide, the form of supplementation found for example in iodized table salt. But the breast, prostate, ovary and brain need molecular iodine type I2. The kidney, spleen, liver, blood, salivary glands, intestines and muscles necessarily all have a joint contribution in both forms (56). The fight against cancer, probably also (57). And all these organs are abandoned to their sad deiodized fate...
Woman breast needs more than what is allowed through food, even when eating fish twice a week and drinking half a liter milk. And by the way – for men aged > 65, prostate requires I2 too. Breast and prostate need I2. But the average iodine intake will not be high enough to reach another organ than the thyroid…

Also going to link from this discussion on "high fat diet" https://bioenergetic.forum/topic/3990/high-fat-diet-triggers-memory-decline-within-days

Similar pattern as this study "Impact of a high-fat diet on the fatty acid composition of the retina" defines "high fat diet" as basically >60% mufa/pufa.

https://sci-hub.se/10.1016/j.exer.2020.108059

Mice in the chow diet had 10% fat, of which 47% was pufa and 30% was mufa, so almost 80% unsaturated fat. Mice in the high fat diet had roughly 30% sfa, 30% mufa, 30% pufa, also a majority unsaturated fat.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, the relative proportion of PUFAs, including essential fatty acids incorporated in the retina are modified by the consumption of a HFD, without impacting the amounts of the two major retinal LCPUFAs, AA and DHA. However, chronic exposure to a HFD led to several alterations among retinal SFAs, MUFAs and Pls, that could have deleterious consequences on retinal physiology.

So, once again, it seems that PUFA is the "good" fat, but "high fat diets" are bad.

It's reassuring to remember Ray's wisdom when reading through these types of papers with a sense of irony:

Retinal phospholipids also contain saturated FAs (SFAs, ~42% of total phospholipids in human) and monounsaturated FAs (MUFAs, ~19% of total phospholipids in human) (Acar et al., 2012). To our knowledge, no function that would be specific to the retina has been described for SFAs. Interestingly, a role of MUFAs in the visual cycle has been reported (Semenova and Converse, 2003; Xue et al., 2004).
MUFAs, and particularly palmitoleic acid (C16:1n-7), could also play a role in the protection of the retina from environmental stress (Gutierrez et al., 2016).

I mean, how does something that makes up 42% of the fat content of the retina serve "no function" ?

I also wonder about the Ling cell membrane ideas. Saturated fat seems to be the nebulous "other" here. Is its role being deliberately lied about?

And heres the AI offering a little help:

Functional Roles
Rhodopsin stabilization

SFAs and cholesterol interact with rhodopsin, stabilizing its inactive state in photoreceptor membranes.

Excessive SFA intake (e.g., from high saturated-fat diets) may rigidify membranes, impairing rhodopsin activation and phototransduction.

Membrane integrity

SFAs reduce oxidative vulnerability compared to PUFAs, as their single bonds are less prone to peroxidation.

In dietary studies, high SFA/cholesterol intake decreases retinal PUFA levels, altering membrane composition and potentially disrupting visual function.

Dietary and Pathological Implications
High-SFA diets: Linked to reduced retinal DHA content and increased risk of age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Developmental roles: During retinal maturation, SFAs dominate early but are gradually replaced by PUFAs (e.g., DHA) to optimize photoreceptor flexibility and signaling.

Balance with Unsaturated Fats
While SFAs provide structural stability, excessive levels compromise the retina’s reliance on PUFA-driven fluidity, which is essential for:

Photoreceptor disk renewal

Efficient rhodopsin conformational changes

Antioxidant defense coordination (via PUFA-derived signaling).

Conclusion
SFAs in retinal phospholipids serve as structural stabilizers, but their benefits are context-dependent. Optimal retinal function requires a balance between SFA-mediated rigidity and PUFA-driven fluidity. Disruptions in this balance (e.g., from high saturated-fat diets) may contribute to degenerative diseases like AMD
