25 drops fit perfectly into a 00 gel cap, so that's what I used to do. I had to stop taking it though because my wife hated the way it made me smell (she said it was like "fake crab meat")

@CO3 ok great, thanks for the explanation. I know Danny often talks about heavy metals leeching out of bones, which is why he prefers oxtail. The oxtail soup I make is highly gelatinous but something in there doesn't sit quite right with my digestive system, maybe the histamines are an explanation

@CO3 can you elaborate on the timing of taking the broth off the heat after 1.5hrs and relation to histamine and preserving the AAs? I use a pressure cooker to make broth and often let it run for 4 hours.

I recently got a huge suite of blood tests done and one of the only things that came back out of range was Total Iron Binding Capacity. From what I'm reading, low TIBC along with otherwise normal levels of other iron biomarkers can indicate iron overload. Full results:

TIBC: 249 ug/dL (250-450)
UIBC: 164 ug/dL (111-343)
Iron: 85 ug/dL (39-169)
Iron Saturation: 34% (15-55)
Ferritin: 127 ng/mL (30-400)

My question is: how concerned should I be about this? Has anyone else dealt with iron overload?

I've had persistent gum bleeding/inflammation for years and I'm interested in this as well

@brad it may be the most unobtrusive ad I've ever seen

Following up here, this problem seems to be getting better. I started taking progesterone, so that may have something to do with it, though I don't know what the mechanism would be. The time I wake up has been getting later and later, now it's around 6AM instead of 3AM, and I have an easier time falling back asleep. @brad 's assessment was probably correct

looks great, please post more

@eric said in Are zyns Peaty?:

Georgi went into nicotine in detail in an old GE episode. The summary was that nicotine is a mixed bag and is ultimately not peaty. I'll try to find it.

found it (may be errors in transcript)

I wouldn't use nicotine long term. I think nicotine has some great advantages short term. It is an aromatase inhibitor. It's a monoaminoxidase type B inhibitor. So in other words, you will lower estrogen and may increase. It will decrease the degradation of dopamine, right? But it also releases free fatty acids, and it's pretty effective at that. And it has a potent pro-adrenergic effect. And it's also like basically acts as an agonist of the acetylcholine receptors. So this in the long run actually has really detrimental effects. And they outweigh the positive ones. And ironically actually, despite the fact that smoking cigarettes has other and more dangerous. So overall, cigarette is ironically like a stronger carcinogen. But systemically for the health is better in the sense that it has additional components there that mitigate somewhat the negative effects of nicotine. So, but if you only use nicotine, it's not a carcinogenic. But I think over time, it really targets the brain and the elevated free fatty acids. It basically raises your metabolism in a bad way. It mimics exhaustive exercise. You're going to get the same adrenergic slash cortisol response if you run for like, I don't know, five, six, ten miles.

@brotherwentcrazy said in Brother is having month-long psychotic episode after "Peating":

@eric he is 24; I'll see if I can put that in an edited OP as it's definitely important info.

24 is the exact median age for the onset of schizophrenia

@brotherwentcrazy how old is he?

@buckminster I agree. As paranoid as it sounds I think it's pretty easy to do a rough accounting of how much money certain interests would stand to lose if Ray's work was accepted into the mainstream. The pharmaceutical industry alone has a total value of 1.2 trillion dollars. It would certainly be worthwhile to fund a disinfo agent or two.

it may be worthwhile to note that what's going on now with various nefarious elements attempting to attack Ray's legacy as soon as he died is quite similar to what Khrushchev did to Stalin

good thread

last night I:

• Skipped the nighttime K2
• Skipped the 6PM aspirin (took at 3pm instead)
• Skipped the ice cream
• Drank a big glass of warm milk with lots of honey

well, no dice. woke up again at 3AM like clockwork and had trouble falling back asleep like I typically do. I didn't have any juice on hand so I drank another glass of milk with honey, and fell asleep maybe an hour later.

today I'll try

• Eating more throughout the day
• Taking more salt before bed

@brad great, thanks for the perspective. I'll stay the course

@brad said in Waking up at 3AM:

@eric Very nice, impressive work. What are your total calories and macros and when do you take the estroban?

I don't have a clue on total calories and macros other than that I think it's possible I'm under eating. I've lost 5 pounds since I started this, though that may have been water weight. I've had persistent gut issues with lots of bloating, and it's completely dissipated since I started peating. My stomach stays flat all day. I might try tracking calories since it should be pretty easy with how simple this diet is. I'm 5'11" and 158lbs.

I take the estroban in the morning, and the isolated mk-4 before bed.

Also I think I'm getting quite a lot of salt. I heavily salt my eggs, the soup, and the ground beef.

@LinDaiyu said in Waking up at 3AM:

@eric I think you need more calcium there laddie.

I made eggshell calcium powder for the first time today

@brad said in Waking up at 3AM:

@eric When you say you've started taking it seriously, what are you doing? Diet changes? Thyroid? Could be helpful to diagnose.

1. Eliminated all major dietary sources of PUFA except eggs
2. Eliminated all grains, most complex carbs
3. Added lots of sugar to diet
4. Added gelatin to diet
5. 300mg aspirin 2x a day
6. 2 minutes of 830nm red light on thyroid EoD

Diet
Breakfast: 2 eggs cooked in butter, one piece of 100% grass fed bacon, 16oz fresh squeezed strained OJ, one cup coffee with milk

Lunch: Carrot salad, then 30min later, some kind of soup with lots of gelatin (oxtail, borscht), mexican coke

Dinner: 1/2lb 100% grass fed ground beef with liver and heart, gelatin added, Mexican coke or OJ or sugared milk

Before bed: Vanilla ice cream, no additives

throughout the day drink ~1L of sugared whole 100% grass fed raw milk

One dose estroban, plus an additional 2-4mg of mk-4.

Night and day difference in my energy levels, I feel energized well into the evening whereas before I'd hit a wall. Brain fog dissipated. Family history of hypothyroidism (every other member of my family is on thyroid). Got like 30 blood tests done this morning and I'm waiting on those to come back.
