@Jonny-Rico this. Reverse sled drags, as well as forward, fixed my torn MCL.

RE: Tendon Repair
@Ecstatic_Hamster will try, heard good things about lanolin + coconut oil for hair growth before on forum. Thanks.

RE: The Final Solution
@Nabokov look into pantothenic acid (b5). It pretty much cured mine. If i remember correctly i was taking 1g twice daily.
A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of a Novel Pantothenic Acid-Based Dietary Supplement in Subjects with Mild to Moderate Facial Acne
“ The dosage of the study agent or the placebo administered was two tablets taken orally, twice a day with food for 12 weeks. Each four-tablet dose of the study agent contained 2.2 g of pantothenic acid. ” -
RE: Cheapest way to peat?
@peater fruit, milk/dairy, carrots, coffee, eggs, oysters, liver, shellfish, etc. all very cheap if you just buy whole foods. The reason Mexican coke and freshly squeezed juices are bought is for their convenience, not the price.

RE: How EXACTLY do I get better at running long distance, swimming, general endurance cardio, etc?
@Brute i am going to make a thread within the next few days, i will tag you in it when i do. But first a few things you can start immediately, neck training, and things that exercise the brain heavily (puzzles, chess, sudoku, word search, juggling, etc)
Edit: also, avoid headgear. It will make it harder to notice hard hits to the head, rather than acknowledge them and stop for the day (i.e. you get rocked while wearing headgear but the headgear blunts the pain so you don’t realize how hard you’ve been rocked) -

RE: CO2 Bag Baths
@dannyphantom blood oxygen levels. The closer the number to 100% the less CO2 in your blood. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

RE: CO2 bath
@nate i was going to try it again at below body temp, or at body temp. Maybe 98.6

RE: CO2 Bag Baths
@dannyphantom you should do the CO2 bag bath and record your SpO2% levels over the course of 20 min. When i did mine in a bathtub mine dropped 4% (increase of CO2 in body of 4%), over the course of 20 min.

@Terminator definitely going to give this a try. thank you.

CO2 bath
CO2 bath
Have been wanting to do an experiment with CO2 baths for a while, but have only now just got some citric acid to create the reaction with baking soda in the tub. Guidelines I found for a proper CO2 bath was around 15-25 minutes of bathing, followed by wrapping yourself in towels (in my case, a sweatsuit) for equal time. During the process I checked my body temperature and SpO2% every 5 minutes.Ray Peat: Well, for one thing, I’ve tested those things on my finger and everyone feels really good when they have a 99% saturation, but I’ve noticed that when I am feeling really the best I can get mine down to 89%. And I have thought about that a lot, and watched the different conditions that cause it, and hyperventilating will cause the saturation to go up and having just cold fingers will make the oxygen go up. If you are not using the oxygen, it doesn’t do you any good to have your haemoglobin saturated if you’re not using it. So those finger meters aren’t really very informative unless you know what temperature your fingers are at.

Carbon Dioxide Bath (Carbon Dioxide Spring) by K.L. Schmidt
“In this study, we investigated the effects of CO2 water-bath therapy on blood flow and angiogenesis in the ischemic hind limb, as well as some plasma angiogenic factors in peripheral ischemic model. The hind limb ischemia was induced by occluding the femoral artery for 2 weeks in rats and treated with or without CO2 water-bath therapy at 37 °C for 4 weeks (20 min treatment every day for 5 days per week). The peak blood flow and minimal and mean blood flow in the ischemic skeletal muscle were markedly increased by the CO2 water-bath therapy. This increase in blood flow was associated with development of angiogenesis in the muscle, as well as reduction in the ischemia-induced increase in plasma malondialdehyde levels. Although plasma vascular endothelial growth factor and nitric oxide levels were increased in animals with peripheral ischemia, the changes in these biomarkers were not affected by CO2 water-bath therapy. These results suggest that augmentation of blood flow in the ischemic hind limb by CO2 water-bath therapy may be due to the development of angiogenesis and reduction in oxidative stress.“
Appropriate CO2 bath therapy would revitalize vessels of whole body.

RE: Yellow tinted semen causes
@White you weigh 143lb and you are eating 250g protein? That is entirely too much.
