In his book Generative Energy, Dr. Peat describes a method he used to reverse graying hairs using topical vitamin A, vitamin E, DHEA, pregnenolone, and copper. I was wondering if anyone else has tried this, what doses you used, and what results you experienced?

@Mauritio Peat never mentioned SEA afaik, I was referring to the succinate. He mentions it as a relatively safe iron chelator in Nutrition for Women iirc, but I think he stopped recommending it at some point. SEA works like a mild uncoupler for me, especially after a high-carb meal.

FWIW I tried Brad Marshall's theabrownin supplement and it didn't seem to affect anything. I think that during weight loss, putting excess stress on the liver/gallbladder in any way is likely to be risky, especially if there is a lot of visceral fat, which will go through the portal vein and be processed through the liver. Gallstones are more common in people who lost weight rapidly, so anything that affects the bile system should be used carefully. Also not to mention how much stuff from China is contaminated with lead, etc.

That said, I think Brad's stearoylethanolamide and succinate supplements (which Peat spoke well of in the past also) have been much more useful for me personally.

Have you tried incorporating gelatin into your diet? It can have a vasodilation effect. Also bag-breathing to increase CO2 can do the same

I know the FDA requires butchers to remove the thyroid gland from animal necks. There are some Asian and Latin markets near me that sell pork and turkey necks and such, and I wonder if the regulations might be less strictly enforced there. If I wanted to verify whether an animal neck still contained the intact thyroid gland (to prepare in a soup, for example) what should I look for, and how would I recognize it?

@gg12 Sweet potatoes with maple syrup is one of my favorites too! Have you tried it with coconut milk? So delicious

A meetup is definitely a great idea, kudos for putting this together

@retard Have you ever had heart palpitations?

Increasing intake of salt and electrolytes and taking progesterone helped me with similar digestive issues. I've heard some people have good results from famotidine and taurine as well.

Thought I should post a brief update since this thread has gotten some more attention lately: The symptoms I was dealing with have greatly improved with some diet and lifestyle changes. I've reduced my zinc supplementation to a more standard 15mg a day, but I still feel 120mg/day was beneficial as a short-term loading dose. I do get plenty of copper and manganese in my diet from regular shellfish consumption, and I've started using molasses as well. If anyone is interested, the current stack I'm running is a standard B-complex, 300mg thiamine HCL, 8000IU vitamin D, Thorne's vitamin K formula, 15mg zinc citrate, and T3/T4, progesterone, pregnenolone, and DHEA rarely as needed

I've been on Cynomel for a few weeks and increased the dosage up to the equivalent of 4 grains. My energy levels are great, and I feel warm throughout the day. However, when I first wake up my temps are still very low until a while after I have food and coffee, usually 97.4F or below. Seems strange that this is the only symptom not improving. Anyone else had this experience?
