@natureman Overdosing effects sound scary I wonder what qualifies as overdosing. 100mcg T3? 300mcg T4?

@GreekDemiGod I believe so. What do you wake up at?

A lot of bone broth, potatoes, pot roast, cheese, sourdough bread. I essentially adopt what you would expect an English medieval peasant to consume

@yerrag Haha thats a funny dtory I hope its true

Looks great. Watching. Thank you.

@GreekDemiGod Jay Feldman and Mike fave recommend a good amount of protein for clients around .6 to .8 grams per pound with a good source of glycine. It’s reasonable to me

@LucH thanks for sharing. No doubt this is an effective alternative when using chemo…
Not to be a snob, but that convinces me to never advise chemo lol.

So I did the flush last night. 6 days of preparation, drinking 1l of freshly squeezed apple juice, then on the 6th day (yesterday), I did an enema, followed by the regular epsom salt + water drinks. I stopped eating at noon yesterday until this morning.
Before bad, I had the 120ml olive oil + 180ml lemon juice.

The epsom salt and the olive oil mix were nasty to drink. I didn't have nausea, didn't vomit, but it did make me gag a bit. Definitely not pleasant. Also felt weak from not eating almost all day.

Last night, after drinking the epsom salt + water, I was sitting on my desk, I started having all kinds of sensations in my abdomen and upper body. I started getting mild pain/ discomfort in my back, middle back and lower back (kidneys ?). At one time, I could feel my spine literally hurting for about 10 minutes.
The back pain is interesting. I've never had kidney problems, I'm not aware of ever having them. But it seems like the flush can be hard on the kidneys. Or perhaps, it was due to dehydration. Not sure.

This morning, had the urge to have a (liquid) bowel movements, and sure enough. I saw a few dozens of those green "stones". Some were quite large, up to 1.5 cm in diameter.
It remains to be seen if I will feel better after the flush. I remain skeptical because reading on the FB groups, people don't just do a flush every now and then, they do them through the years, and claim they have to keep doing it. That doesn't seem right to me. Once every few weeks/ months should be more than enough.

@GreekDemiGod

Unfortunately no. I think it’s a genetic issue, as my dad is similar (high T, perfect labs, but gut issues and low energy).

@Joseph12 not recently, I haven’t checked fasting insulin.
I’m using an unknown brand of thyroid, but I don’t think it matters because it’s clearly having an effect on my blood markers, so it’s real thyroid.
It’s also clear that I my problem is cellular hypothyroidism, something is blocking the effect of T3. Also conversion is poor due to intestinal/ liver issues.

@the-MOUSE what ur t levels? frequency ejac/morning wood. ability put on muscle

@CO3 it’s a Reddit community for people with hypothyroidism.

@Mulloch94 what about taking cypro with deca

OP, I admire your effort, but if may opine, I would like to suggest a different approach. Reading Ray and picking his brain from reading his writings is a lot better than picking the brains of our collective here, most of whom are just as likely to give his own opinion than facts, and most are just as unversed in his writings and ideas. I'm sorry if I assume as much, but it may help all of us if we really make a serious effort to read his newsletters and books with the aim to understand and internalize them. In addition to using some good resources from members here.

Thanks for the answer. That's a good point.
Where would you suggest to start? I barely even read his articles. I mostly read the forum, and listened to GE streams or other interviews or radio shows with Ray.

It is easy to be overwhelmed as there is no syllabus or course design that we are used to in universities. Since our ailments cannot wait for each of us to attain a mastery of Peatology, it is far easier though hardly ideal to use our own individual health and sickness to guide our search for what material to read. Otherwise, it's hard to get enough motivated to read each newsletter as if you were pursuing a PhD.

Use a keyword search of his writings, as I described earlier to bring up his writings on that subject, and focus on that subject. Since the body is interrelated, it would still be hard to be lost, as even if you tried to specialize on an area, you can't help but avoid being drawn into the larger web of relationships that make the body work coherently and cohesively.

It would be a matter of time and a matter of course that you will find yourself connecting the dots, and form conceptual relationships, particularly on causes and effects, whiçh is the backbone of problem solving.

I have talked with someone who had success in rebuilding her microbiome. She saw improvements within 3 months, but she said that generally repopulating the microbiome is a long term process and can take years.
Makes you wonder why people quit too soon, they expect results too early.
I too didn't have the patience.
Her approach was probiotics, and slow reintroduction of plants, fibers, veggies. She saw big improvements in depression, candida, bloating after a couple months.

@Not_James_Bond thanks for the reply! Very interesting, and I can see how it would become necessary based on this. Did you look at Dr Lonsdale’s work in conjunction with your experimentation? I’ve come across his work before but I don’t think I understood how essential B1 is in my own personal context.

Somebody got androgenic feeling from alloP?

@Hando-Jin @GreekDemiGod can't think and will believe anything charlie says on that forum, also "what is the best idealabs combo?" hurr durrr
