@GJD Kein Problem.

Für alle Interessenten:
Ich habe angefangen, einige Artikel von Ray ins Deutsche zu übersetzen.

Hier habe ich schon zwei

Habe vor, als nächstes den über die Youth Steroids zu übersetzen und generell meine anderen Lieblinge. Falls irgendwer sich am Projekt beteiligen möchte, sag gerne Bescheid. Würde mich sehr freuen!

I had a small patch of psoriasis on the front of my scalp and it went away within a few weeks of getting my vitamin D up to around 60ng/mL and never came back, except for one time where I was very stressed and sick, and my vitamin D also happened to be low - even then I could just see that it was about to be little inflamed, no skin flaking like it used to. Went away in a day again, so that was just an extreme low point.

To this day it's the part of my scalp most affected by hairloss and the hardest to rehabilitate, interestingly. I think it's related to the poor blood flow; that spot is probably the worst and when I have a stiff neck there is a nerve that has a bit of pain that leads straight to that spot. The poor blood flow and stress signals from the pinched nerve likely compounded the inflammation. It's been gone for about almost 5 years now.

@wrl @yerrag thank you both for the suggestions. I had milk yesterday and seemed to be useful although it was hard to tell, not much irritation. Great to know about the menthol trick, clean menthol honey candies are easy to get here. Will try it next time I eat them and report back

Hi all, I just bought a bunch of canned oysters off iherb as they're not available here and I quite like them in my diet. Unfortunately iherb Europe only stocks them with olive oil and a chilli, and they're kinda spicy. I drain the oil and dab the oysters down with kitchen towel, which definitely helps tone it down, but they've been soaking in the can for a while, so there's still enough capsaicin to sometimes irritate my intestine.

I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to protect from or break down (?) or somehow neutralise the effect of the capsaicin so that it's less irritating. Or even a way to get more off the surface of the oysters. All I can find on the net is that it's fat soluble, so dairy fat might help at the same time. I'm unsure though if this will at all help further on in digestion.

Thanks for your help!

@GJD Ich kenne mich leider in Berlin zwar nicht aus, aber für die Münchner (und falls es für euch hart auf hart kommen sollte) hat die Klösterlapotheke einen guten Ruf, und sind auf Schilddrüsenmedikamente spezialisiert. Die stellen auch selber NDT her und haben ein sehr "aufgeklärtes" Personal, was Schilddrüsenhormone betrifft. Es lohnt sich vielleicht, mal bei ihnen nachzufragen, ob sie Ärzte kennen, sie sich mit T3 auskennen und das regelmäßig verschreiben. Als ich dort mein Rezept abgeholt habe, habe ich nachgefragt, ob man eine Marke gegenüber einer anderen empfehlen könnte, und die Frau, die mich bedient hat, wirkte durchaus sehr gut informiert.

Irene Gronegger (Autorin und Journalistin) aus München schreibt auch einen guten Blog über Hashimoto und generell Schilddrüsenphysiologie und hält regelmäßig Vorträge zum Thema.

@K-Dog ich habe die Ziegenmilch bei knuspr in München gesehen. weiß nicht ob das überall dann erhältlich ist.

If you can get your hands one pure good quality pregnenolone then half a gram to a gram of that will obliterate any stress. Saved me on a few occasions.

Mario 64 and similar games like Banjo-Kazooie and Mario Odyssey. The Analyze and Optimize guys even posted a study using an FPS vs Super Mario 64 with people in a retirement home on brain health I think.

@YellowCanary Yeah. Funnily I just started upping the milk intake on UHT (Berchtesgadener Land Bio, really good!) and gave Flowers of Sulphur a try (Schwefelblüte) and I am tolerating 6 cups a day extremely well now with no bloating, gas or irritation. Never thought to just try UHT all day for some reason. But keeping digestion good is probably more important. For what it's worth, I've been very shocked to see my Vitamin D level after summer in Germany before, around 30 or lower last year. I've heard it is lowered during stress and infection so that's worth considering. I've decided to just take 5000 IU all year round unless I was really outside all day now. Even then it's worth testing just to make sure. Always feel so much better getting back up to 50-60mg/ml. Good luck!

DHEA isn't "verschreibungspflichtig" in Germany, i.e. no prescription required. I have bought from them multiple times, mainly for pregnenolone, which is very good quality. It's not pure powder, but they claim it's only rice flour and magnesium stearate. I tolerated the pregnenolone very well and only had good effects in large doses (up to several hundred mg at a time). I've only tried the DHEA on occasion but I have found it hard to discern the effects of it, and am wary of trying too high a dose. A bit expensive though, but I think it's worth it for the quality.
