I once had most or all of the symtoms of hypomagnesemia, and to finally retain magnesium it took experimenting with several different forms over many months and confirming it with testing. Daily Mag-hydroxide brought some success, then i added small amounts of Mag-sulfate throught the day, in coffee and juices. It still feels fantastic.

I've since replaced Mag-hydroxide with Mag-bicarbonate and drink small amounts of it 3 or 4 times a day, it tastes similar to mineral water. I was thinking of adding a little Potassium chloride and Calcium to it but am unsure how it would all react together in a liquid or if absorption would be reduced ...

Edit: and i had meant to say that i had been taking Magnesium on and off for many years prior, but things still went wrong for whatever reason(s) ie; dose size, consistency, forms taken etc.

@gg12 said in Strong Sistas finally posted an interview with Dr. Ray Peat - The Basics Of Pro-Metabolic:

@DavidPS Good to know thanks..
Any other video recommendations for people new to this sphere such as myself?
I've seen one Danny Roddy and Nate Lawrence video.

Georgi Dinkov videos on Youtube, aka "Haidut" from this forum and the old RayPeatforum. He also posts at his own blog http://haidut.me/

Great find @DavidPS, and interesting info @Mauritio, can't wait to check it out.

@risingfire said in New "Mission" of RPF:

Does Charlie have Parkinsons?

Here is a quote from him on the Caffeine is Poison thread:

It did not reduce the risk of "Parkinson's" for me.

Unless there's some sophistry involved it would be a strange thing for a person to say that didn't have any personal concerns.

For myself it's reduced fruit intake simply due to less quality options available. A bit more potatoes and carrots, more broths with beef/chicken bones even if only boiled for 30min to 1hr, calf liver more regularly, a bit more coffee. Will likely restart cooked potato juice (keto acids) and try to finally nail down a good sourdough recipe using my breadmachine.

Minor supplement adjustments, a tiny bit more Boron, Selenium & Lugol's iodine, occassional Vit-D. Have always tinkered with incandescent and red light but may explore other lighting options this winter.

Thank you for posting, that is Dr Paul Byrne.

Here is a related article he authored in 2005 and a Youtube video from four years ago:

Brain Death Is Not Death: https://www.catholicculture.org/culture/library/view.cfm?id=6647

The 10 minute test of taking them off a ventilator to see if they're "dead" denies them of oxygen and C02 expulsion at a frail moment. Fill in the blank here.

I am not suggesting the following to the original poster since everyone's goals and medical needs are different, and what works for some may not work for all.

Some folks who had sought a substitute for thiamine injections turned to 100mg of sublingual thiamine mononitrate. What maladies they were treating i do not recall. Most of them were using Superior Source No Shot B1 100mg MicroLingual tablets.

Edit: i managed to dig up one of the discussions i had read, turns out it was for Parkinsons sufferers: https://healthunlocked.com/cure-parkinsons/posts/146847819/how-to-take-sublingual-b1

The original poster in that discussion was even able to divide her sublingual dose in half and still feel it's effects. It may also be a decent experiment for those looking to avoid B1 spikes and dips by doing a half dose twice a day, then monitoring the quality of it's effect afterward.

I don't have my sources at the moment but Aspirin is noted to reduce insomnia-induced brain inflammation. Certain Butyrate related substances (Sodium Butyrate etc) can also increase the amount of deep quality sleep within a certain sleep time frame. Taurine may also have a role to play for some as reported by users and studies.

Serotonin is associated with insomnia and certain sleep difficulties. This would imply that reduction may be beneficial. Everyone is different however.

Elevating the headboard side of the bed a few inches has been reported to be helpful.

If and when i can find the sources of my above info i'll be sure to post it. Some of which may be in this forum if i'm not mistaken.

Edited.

The way i'm familiar with bile is the standard push out the old and encourage new formation. Old recycled bile is old news in bioenergetics, even Peat has written and talked about it. There's no new epiphanies here imo, new pushers may simply be riding other's coattails, tweaking it for better or for worse, and perhaps not giving credit where it's due.

@LucH
interesting note about the B50 complex. I recall you mentioning before but i don't recall the backup detail (?) That potentially harmful?

I know certain aspects about typical B50's are not ideal, Folic acid, excipients etc etc.

I ask because i now take 1/4 once or twice a day, approx 5 days a week, along with separates. And i've recommended small split dose B50 to friends who are normally pill averse.

And thank you again as your info is invaluable for fine tuning supplement use. Your standard Niacin dose is noted too by the way, less is more!

Multi's are useful for a couple of things beyond bare maintenance. They sometimes have certain vitamins minerals that a person can be deficient in including the less common ones like Manganese etc etc. If a person truly experiences some improvement after a week's dose then they can begin troubleshooting and narrowing down what they were deficient in most. It would probably eventually require them purchasing it seperately though.

Multi's tend to be pretty low quality and with much processing involved. I wouldn't take them too often. You're much better off getting the bulk of your nutrition from food along with assistance from chronometer.
