@happyhanneke Albendazole is supposed to be effective against parasites.
Not sure about the above meds only that Peat said that amoxicillin was among the less risky antibiotics. Another thing he would say was to take much lower doses of an antibiotic than people usually take. A fourth or even less, then adjust according to symptoms and results.

@wester130 stay away from licorice, it’s supposed to be highly estrogenic besides messing with your cortisol. I think mint is fine if it suits you, and have heard good things about vitex, so i guess worth a try.

@Lastbird metergoline is supposed to be particularly good against can dida if that helps

@jamezb46 OK.. would they re be any point in ramping up d or c intake when takin a bacteriophage, or would they be at cross purposes?

@ThinPicking yeah i think i understand some of what you’re saying. Some supps have anti viral properties (eg cypro p4 theanine..) and then there are standalone rx antiviral s like acyclovir valacyclovir etc. I’m asking about both than ks

Does anyone know if it is ok to take an anti viral when also taking a phage? Seems one should not, coz a phage (bacteriophage ) is essentially a virus and in doing so, one might be sabotaging its purpose. Would appreciate any answer s, or even speculation, thanks.

@16charactersitis @Living_thing
Here it is. It was from an email exchange not an article:
“Brewers' yeast..best to start by pouring hot water over an ounce or two of it, and using just the liquid”
From here:

@Living_thing i guess alcohol would work if you’re making a batch. I was thinking of heated water to extract the vitamins at the time one is having one serving. I’ll try and find the article Ray Peat mentions doing this.

@William-Shat

Same general area. Chest is probably more accurate.
The self consciousness will go away the more you practice. For example, have you noticed there are fewer shy old people than young ones? LoL.
And you don’t have to practice all the time, but when you are trying, think of any awkwardness as completely OK. Nothing like vulnerability to make a person more human and relatable. Nobody’s impressed with someone who’s always perfect.
And yes good point. Exactly. What starts as a conscious attempt, with a little time and practice, will eventually become second nature.

@GRay good question. was wondering myself, after brewer’s yeast and Energin, which (Peat friendly) B-complex would be best for someone who'd like the option of taking a tablet or capsule.

@insufferable selenium you can get from seafood. Also mushrooms. Just make sure they’re well cooked. Raw mushrooms have unhealthy or toxic components that are eliminated via cooking

@insufferable Two things that might help.
One, I think haidut had said that ray said that hi tpo not usually something to be concerned about. It stays hi after an event that spikes it has elapsed.
Two, best not to supplement with iodine. I get non iodine salt. Ray had said that it can actually be anti thyroid.

@Living_thing ok. What you might try, if you like, is dissolving the yeast in warm water as ray suggested. Then just use the water (where the vitamins are) and throw out the solids. That way it’s easier to digest and makes a nice broth by it self with a sprinkling of chives or onion powder and salt to taste. Or Can be used in soups, stocks, sauces, etc

About three minutes in: he had talked about "inherited or inter generational trauma"
Both genetic and epigenetic mentioned in the discussion

@William-Shat
Good question. It’s been said before, but simply relaxing breathing deeply and speaking from the chest (or diaphragm as @albion says) instead of the mouth can do wonders. Being constantly aware to do that whenever you speak will, sometimes quickly sometimes gradually but either way definitely, result in improvements.
Same exercise would help women too, in a different way, by making their voices clearer and less strained.

@Living_thing I I would try to up b1 with (lean) pork (eg, ham) and seafood, b3 with lots of OJ, all b vitamins with brewer s yeast (eg sprinkle on soups popcorn etc) and k from liver or kale. One can always add actual supplements. Ironically it seems Aniprin brand veterinary aspirin is the one of the ones with the least or no additives.

@Luke yes . Something about it s best not to take tocopherols (e) and quinones (k) together. I think Haidut once said if one is much less than the other, it would not be a serious concern. I wonder if the ratio of e to k in the Thorne d&k drops would make it not a big deal. The E is in there as a preservative.

@wester130 Thank s will take a look

@peatolish with cream and sugar is the right way is the peat way. Any one, hypo or not, having black coffee with out any thing sweet is asking for trouble.
