@peatilian said in Getting rid of gyno:

I ran topical DHT solved in DMSO for 5ish weeks starting at 25mg/day and titrating up to 50mg/day the last few weeks.

Topically applied evenly to each nipple and had a ~50% reduction in size of gyno which then tapered off towards the end.

Am now on first week of topical (wrist) androsterone at 16mg/day hoping to see similar effects.

Way to go. I have seen many such cases.

Perhaps the mammary gland exposed to the chronic influence of estradiol and prolactin has reduced local sensitivity to DHT and androgens, so that even despite high testosterone levels, you could still suffer.

PUFA and carotenemia. Indeed, "Ray Peat Diet"

I do not recommend overdosing. Maintaining safe doses will be effective. As the previous speaker mentioned, an overdose often ends in death.

@Rapist said in Is High Dose Benadryl Peaty?:

Are high doses of diphenhydramine overall beneficial to hormonal profile and health? If it has deleterious effects, how can you mitigate them? I’m an avid Benadryl enjoyer but I want to make sure I’m taking care of my well being at the same time.

There are many studies that have shown that the use of diphenhydramine increases cholinesterase activity in the CNS. Possibly increases cerebral cortex and decreases acetylcholine.

@eatfan said in Getting rid of gyno:

Have had gyno since puberty - looking for any solutions to get rid of it.
Final resort is surgery.

Any experience of getting rid of gyno welcomed. Thanks

Perhaps rubbing DHT and androsterone into the area of ​​the enlarged gland may help.

@izkrov said in Fructose - Resources:

Looking to pool resources on the effects of fructose, I've never felt any different from eating it but some people it upsets their tummies. Ray's mentioned that fructose is also mitochondrial uncoupler

If someone knows a source for that or the reasoning behind it, please poast.
Anyway, here's some sources from his newsletters:

Fructose promotes sodium retention (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6344611/)
Diabetics have increased vascular leakiness (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12564648)
Fructose lowers blood vessel leakiness (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/14553836/)
And the "Sugar Issues" newsletter from 2011 talks about how you can use fructose when glucose isn't available, as well as eating more calories but retaining the same weight.

Some Haidut sources. He has a study that shows fructose didn't deplete liver atp which is a main argument against fructose

Perhaps fructose, as an insulin mimetic, has a similar effect to insulin on the oxidation of fatty acids, which may contribute to better oxidative phosphorylation.

@Sophocles said in Things that can help with Tics and Tourette's Syndrome:

Tics as seen in chronic tic disorders, such as Tourette's syndrome (TS) can be quite bothersome, especially when young children experience them. The information in this post is an accumulation of potential remedies to alleviate tics.
https://constantinek.substack.com/p/tics-and-ts

It is crucial to understand the pathophysiology of Tourette syndrome.

In fact, Tourette syndrome may be the result of vitamin and nutrient deficiencies. For myself, I would recommend the use of drugs that antagonize serotonin and agonize dopamine. GABA (preferably Taurine) can also help.

@luddite I have this too. I noticed that the hotter I am, the better I function cognitively.

@SeroBass said in Uncoupling with 4g Aspirin:

Hello everybody

I am happy to see a new non-corrupted forum here

I am currently uncoupling my mitochondria with 4-5 g of Aspirin a day. Of course I also supplement K2.

I am 104kg, 178cm and ca. 20% bodyfat (I am doing Mentzer style bodybuilding). My goal is (of course) to lose fat.

Nutritional:
100g of protein (20g Gelatine, rest meat and cheese) -> enough to build muscles!
30-50g of fat from meat and cheese
As much fruits as I can.
Freeze dried beef testicles and organ mix from www.raw-animal.shop (only for Europe).
Occasionally starch, almost never PUFAs.

My question: a doc once said there is a risk for renal failure when taking too long and too much Aspirin.
Anyone got such issues? Kidney problems?
Are there any cases?

I also take creatine and lift heavy weights. Therefore my renal markers are always a little high.

P.S.: I feel great when taking those amounts of Aspirin!

Regards
Sero

I think it's not that obvious. But I know that using such high doses of aspirin will require balancing. I need to read the research to say more about the nephrotoxic effects of aspirin.

@luddite Do you have any research on this? I was interested in this topic. In terms of the effect of temperature on the brain.

@newmexico said in Ray Peat - quack or genius?:

@Fructose that is probably due to a poor diet and genetics/genetic mutation in the family, unfortunately. I was fine when I ate normal NHS-approved food, but when I tried the RPD it destroyed me quite badly (previously mentioned)

Me the same. Simply "Perceive, Think, Act".

I don't have a typical Peat diet myself, I'm experimenting. I observe my body and its reaction. I am currently on a low-fat liquid diet.

You were hospitalized because of your own stupidity. If you only ate lettuce and broccoli, the foods readily recommended by the "best" guidelines, you would also be deficient.

I do not have any "genetic mutation", no one in my family has had intestinal problems, as I have examined my family's clinical history. I followed 100% of the good diet recommended by nutritionists. Ultimately, I ended up on immunosuppressants and corticosteroids, which I do not take. Ray Peat saved my life.

@Pulastye Indeed, you would need more sleep. Nothing can compensate for it, unless there's something I don't know. If possible, I try to get up in the morning and go to bed at night. It would be useful to eliminate harmful stimuli such as EMF.

@newmexico said in Ray Peat - quack or genius?:

@Kvirion That is pretty level-headed, though I'd say the 400 is arbitrary and would need some sources. That's quite a lot, for sure. Really if you maintain a properly balanced diet, based on mainstream nutritional guidelines you'll be fine. Not sure why people try these fringe fads, always ends horribly, but I do agree with noticing how you feel!

A diet based on the guidelines issued by nutritional and dietary centers in my country led me to Crohn's disease and hormonal imbalance.

@Kvirion This seems reasonable. I don't think Peat ever openly recommended sugar. I remember he mentioned sucrose as a good substitute for sugars when there are no healthy substitutes.

@newmexico Many things that have "essential" in their names, does that make them essential? Have you read all of Peat's articles?

@newmexico Although DHA (omega 3 fatty acid) may be essential at the level of biochemistry and molecular biology, omega 6 acids are absolutely not. The body produces mead acid, an anti-inflammatory substitute for linoleic acid.

@newmexico Sounds like a skill issue.

@newmexico This is some bullshit. When your sink gets clogged, do you blame the water?
