@winters
not sure, but your white blood count & granulocytes are low

eating 2 small cans of pineapples a day (280g) can increase these a lot (and NK cells for early immunity) and reduce infection frequency
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4258310/

and probably ensuring you eat enough protein

Cool to see that get through finally after decades of people talking about this . (& for its effect on teeth, my sensitivity went away when i stopped using toothpaste with this in it)

Taurine gives protection against fluoride (if dont get along with it well at 500mg lower doses probably work well too, even <100mg is protective against mercury toxicity)

and ~300mg GABA can reverse most of its impact on thyroid (lower dose works best) https://www.researchgate.net/publication/330609672_Analysis_of_the_protective_effects_of_g-aminobutyric_acid_during_fluoride-induced_hypothyroidism_in_male_Kunming_mice

@cs3000 said in β-Sitosterol has potent antiviral activity against influenza viruses:

https://www.mdpi.com/2076-393X/11/2/228#

Effective against 2 strains, directly viricidal and inhibiting infectivity / replication , at a low concentration ~1ug/ml

Note this lowers DHT (inhibits 5-ar) at the 1ug/ml dose used there, but not a concern for me temporarily when getting rid of infection.

if someone can find out pharmacokinetics / concentration orally would be useful to see. i am guessing thats in the 100s of miligrams

more than 1ug/mL plasma beta sitosterol (anti viral dose) in people eating high amounts, 300mg should give at least this in blood if not 5ug/ml
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC535768/pdf/jcinvest00221-0116.pdf

using 5x the dose of flu that it takes to kill 50% of mice,
50mg/kg orally ~ 300mg human dose was effective at increasing survival
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7273125/ (the mg/kg -1 is the same as mg/kg)

• IAV infection resulted in 100% (13/13) mortality by 12 days p.i. and rapid and continuous weight loss (Fig. 6f, g). Remarkably, the survival rate of mice that were treated with 50 and 200 mg/kg β-sitosterol was significantly increased to 61.5% (8/13) and 84.6% (11/13), respectively.

It both lowers inflammation, and directly viricidal
maybe best to take in evening as noticed more tiredness trying it. And does lower DHT so maybe good to replenish some dhea for a week after in the pm for a boost in getting levels restored when out of system & infections cleared

{side study, b sitosterol ~200mg worked in restoring B cells % in diabetes model, 30d, recovered from most of the insulin resistance https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10616-020-00382-y}

Part on chronic disease starts just after 1 hour 14 minutes

The whole speech is illuminating big awareness push with eyes on, and the part on chronic disease especially, redpills mentioning seed oils estrogen skyrocketing of illnesses common to all etc.

@Butter-Girl meals high in meat , seafood, some wholegrains if eating for the fiber & nutrients e.g spelt (ray said some of his teeth decayed from a time where he was eating a lot of wheat germ for the nutrients without calcium)

@psi there was some counter culture uprising from this (& more clarity on origin and side effects, even in congress e.g from rand paul) so more awareness, so the next might not be so accepted. if a miracle happens and rfk jr wins to drastically strip positions & create new structure there might not be another push for a while, but not the likeliest outcome . then there's still the inevitable economic downturn part of the cycle (already underway)

Maybe good to stock up on a bunch of EAA powders if not much space for a lot of meat, not the best but an option in mass meat scarcity / protein deficiency (economics aside maybe an outbreak will be focused on animals next)

@Amazoniac
thanks
having some sugar / fructose with a high phosphorus meal can counter absorption well too
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2430509/

(maybe too much at once for liver to deal with effectively in this study but shows big effect)

• If shown to lower serum Pi, consumption of fructose can also have dramatic implications for Pi metabolism and hyperphosphatemia in renal failure because even slight reductions in serum Pi concentrations result in marked decreases in mortality risk

So calcium & or fructose with phosphorous meals to balance absorption if on high phosphorus intake
(or on the other side to avoid these simultaneously with phosphate if actively trying to build bone
ray mentioned in his article low phosphate intake can also be a problem because it has the same effects as high phosphate from boosting absorption & increasing transporter for more cellular uptake, tho maybe using fructose/calcium regularly would keep the transporter inhibited)

(1,25 vit D also increases phosphate absorption) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12032488/

• In the kidneys, phosphate promotes calcification (Bois and Selye, 1956), and osteopontin, by its activation of inflammatory T-cells, is involved in the development of glomerulonephritis, as well as in inflammatory skin reactions (Yu, et al., 1998).
  High dietary phosphate increases serum osteopontin, as well as serum phosphate and parathyroid hormone, and increases the formation of tumors in skin (Camalier, et al., 2010). Besides the activation of cells and cell systems, phosphate (like other ions with a high ratio of charge to size, including citrate) can activate viruses (Yamanaka, et al., 1995; Gouvea, et al., 2006).
  Aromatase, the enzyme that synthesizes estrogen, is an enzyme that's sensitive to the concentration of phosphate (Bellino and Holben, 1989).
• A diet that provides enough calcium to limit activity of the parathyroid glands, and that is low in phosphate and polyunsaturated fats, with sugar rather than starch as the main carbohydrate, possibly supplemented by niacinamide and aspirin,
  should help to avoid some of the degenerative processes associated with high phosphate: fatigue, heart failure, movement discoordination, hypogonadism, infertility, vascular calcification, emphysema, cancer, osteoporosis, and atrophy of skin, skeletal muscle, intestine, thymus, and spleen (Ohnishi and Razzaque, 2010; Shiraki-Iida, et al., 2000; Kuro-o, et al., 1997; Osuka and Razzaque, 2012).
• An extreme reduction of phosphate in the diet wouldn't be appropriate, however, because a phosphate deficiency stimulates cells to increase the phosphate transporter, increasing the cellular uptake of phosphate, with an effect similar to the dietary excess of phosphate, i.e., promotion of lung cancer (Xu, et al., 2010) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/20432174/ {lowering to 20% of control diet}. The optimum dietary amount of phosphate, and its balance with other minerals, hasn't been determined.

@rosy-fingered while youre fixing hypothyroidism & metabolism you might do well with co2 leg baths, you just buy some baking soda and malic acid powder (found in apples), add at least 5g of both to a container big enough to cover your shins for every 1L of water, which combines & releases co2 bubbles.

the co2 goes into your skin increases blood flow and promotes vein formation & healing

20-30 minutes daily might help with improvement starting to show by 1 - 2 weeks

@mikeyd post worded 10/10

• The bacterium typically colonizes human mucosal surfaces of the oropharynx and gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Once the bacterium enters the body, it can display high degrees of virulence and antibiotic resistance. Today, K. pneumoniae pneumonia is considered the most common cause of hospital-acquired pneumonia in the United States, and the organism accounts for 3% to 8% of all nosocomial bacterial infections

feeding ~ +3g x2 human equivalent proline a day
L-proline

80% survival using proline instead of 40% , reduces bacterial count

animals who died had lower proline & glucose

it's also helpful for heart regeneration after a heart attack
