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.

You also have to be concerned with your source of chocolate as it will often contain unwanted ingredients and is slowly becoming notorious for being contaminated, at least here in the US. This is based upon my research here, the old forum and elsewhere. Personally i would research the topic before committing to chocolate in high amounts or on a regular basis.

As for coffee quality concerns, i may be wrong but it's likely that sourcing quality coffee at a "decent" price would be easier than chocolate. Once again i suggest due diligence with some extra research.

The following link is a repost but it's a good fit here:

Be sure to check out the secondary link posted right above the sample table, it leads to a database of anti-aging substances along with an estimation of their total benefit. I found Thymic peptide (Thymus gland), Vanadyl Sulfate (Vanadium) and a few others interesting, along with Aspirin of course.

@DkJoe2
Agreed here. You can also pre-soften the drain and preheat the entire length of pipes by first running the hot water for a minute. Allow that to fully drain, then a couple of kettles of boiling water. 5 or 10 minutes later you can followup with another minute or two of hot water to make sure none of the oil residuals remain in the basement pipes. If it finds a cold spot it'll re-coagulate there.

Had researched different aspects of aspirin use at the old forum, including using the search term aspirin kidney.

Apparently it may lower the sodium portion of the NA/K ratio. A little sodium bicarbonate would at least partially remedy this, along with buffering the acidity of aspirin. It's also healthy for the kidneys all on it's own. One aspirin in 30ml of water, a light tap or two of sodium bicarbonate, stir, dissolve, wait for the bubble reaction, drink.

Edit: some example threads.

https://lowtoxinforum.com/threads/nsaids-with-the-notable-exception-of-aspirin-linked-to-fatal-kidney-cancer.10137/

Another thing to consider is to ocassionally split the pills and doses, like 1/2 an aspirin two or three times a day. Or one aspirin in the morning, followed by another dose or two of 1/4 aspirin later on.

And going by all of the discussions, some K2 and Glycine rich foods would likely be helpful as well with regular aspirin use. Take note of the excipients in your pills as they can cause issues that some would blame on aspirin (has anyone checked US Bayer brand lately? Blech!) Pure powders are ideal and cornstarch is probably second best.

@LetTheRedeemed said in Traumatic Injury Supplemental Stack:

oral / dextrose

Ray had once mentioned a dab of honey for animals. I believe he had mentioned it in context of traumatic injury where they were at risk of dying on the spot.

My guess is that the same would apply to humans, and since it lasts so long a small bottle can easily be thrown into most medical kits or bugout bags.

@LucH
With standard Niacin i was now considering 50-100mg twice a day. I would try to hold that steady for a couple of months. Then afterward only two or three times a week and alternating with my mainstay Niacinamide.

Getting that dose semi-precise may be a challenge but there's plenty of time to figure it out before i begin.

Thank you again @LucH

Thank you for notifying.

The source website linked in the RP forum thread is very useful btw, a valuable bookmark imo. Because of Tamara Rubin i knew to stay away from Morton salt and to select certain Instant Pots if i wanted to avoid lead.

Watch those rice and pressure cookers too, some of them are downright contaminated.

@LucH Thank you as always. I'll re-research Niacin to take note of possible factors. That RP forum thread you linked has another useful link to a Niacin discussion at the PhoenixRising forum: https://forums.phoenixrising.me/threads/does-methyl-absorbing-niacin-neutralise-methyl-supplements.54918/#post-919667

@PeatPerspective, you're very welcome. A steady dose of 50mg with most meals would probably bring much of the benefits we've read about Niacinamide, especially if you keep it up for a while. It makes for interesting research too, at the RP forum i do a title only search using the word Niacinamide, so many potential benefits are posted, especially by Haidut.

@PeatPerspective
Starting 2 or 3 weeks ago i went on another Niacinamide protocol, one that i was going to actually stick with this time. At doses of 150-200mg twice a day, sometimes three times just to see if it would keep me awake at night.

I felt the calming effects the first day, as i had in the past, less than an hour after the dose. Now imagine coupling this with Taurine, Glycine and Magnesium, say goodbye to stress.

I recall in the past getting a little sleepy from it, and perhaps some sugar cravings, but not this time around.

I was going to do a standard Niacin protocol but postponed it for some time in the future.

@josh
Potential issues would be the source of ascorbic acid, if it's contaminated with metals as it often is, and would they absorb through the skin. Another concern with standard Vit-C is the toxic mold remnants from the manufacturing process and if they would cause any issues transdermally.

The same questions and concerns would apply to citric acid as well.

I'm guessing you're not using Quali-C in the bath as that seems prohibitively expensive.
