Dandruff or scalp irritation? Try BLOO.
@sushi_is_cringe the luteal phase in women is when progesterone is highest. progesterone opposes estrogen and prevents ovulation. you could pick a katharina dalton book like Once A Month and it'll all be there. ray was of the opinion women can just take progesterone and remain in the luteal phase indefinitely, until you maybe you wanna conceive and then you'd eat something with vegetable oil (estrogenic) to induce your period

For yeast overgrowth the mushrooms and carrot sometimes is enough but flowers of sulfur just a pinch of it will clear up a yeast infection pretty quickly usually. 30:45Is that just once? Just two or three days will usually eliminate a yeast infection
Have you tried the carrot salad?
@gloryus Carboxytherapy session. Great for women, basically reverses their ludwig hair loss pattern but I wanted to try it out for myself. At some point my hair just stopped growing but after going I noticed my bangs grew down to my eyes again within a week and my hair was particularly shiny. I haven't been in awhile, there's probably some kind of topical CO2 variant that's cheap and similar in effectiveness
when I got a CO2 injection in my head I got a fat boner at some point and thought to myself "this is the exact kind of erection I had when I was a teenager". CO2 is the superior youthful energy direction.
with edging it's a more prolonged, almost forced masturbation encounter. the erection doesn't feel the same, you're using nitric oxide instead. there's a distinct lack of vigor behind it; it's the wrong energy direction.
Nitric oxide activates COX-2 which creates prostaglandins and then estrogen. I think every single symptom you mentioned is downstream from estrogen and mechanically going through the motions, jorking it, is in no way good for you.
I think haidut once mentioned 3g of vitamin b3 and 3g of b6 fixed glaucoma.
I remember reading awhile ago that injecting Hyaluronic Acid (HA) into a scar made it fade then come back, but injecting HA + CO2 made it go away. (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37723352/). I think there's something about the combination that might be good even if you're not exactly dealing with scars. I'd look into carboxytherapy (it's a subcutaneous injection, but I think CO2 absorbs well enough through the skin even without that. there's little gels for a face mask you can get like from here
Otherwise I read that Vitamin A is needed in excreting calcium in the calcium cycle, so a topical vitamin A and D combo in coconut oil wouldn't hurt to try if you think calcification is involved.
Lutein also preferentially accumulates in the human brain across multiple life stages.
Preferentially accumulating in the brain as you age doesn't sound very good.
I actually remember reading older people were less sensitive to blue light/screens to kids, so lutein having a role in blue light filtering makes sense to me. I just don't know how stable lutein is given the double bonds though.
I've got some mild bacne and I'll be trying hibiclens, supposedly should have results in a week. Foid told me about it. Could be worth a try.
Most AGEs happen because of PUFA.

However, when E3 is present continuously and RnE3 is elevated and maintained, E3 is a potent estrogen without antagonistic properties.
In an estrogen dominant state like in menopause (which is what they're advertising it for), it doesn't seem useful. Even context aside, I can't think of a use in which someone would prefer that over progesterone.
lidocaine demethylates DNA, so things like re-occurring rashes and ingrown nails get their "memory cleansed" and stop. I imagine the same applies to genetic mutations. Most things that increase the metabolism have that same mechanism. Progesterone probably too, I'd just take some of that and then hopefully you'll epigenetically adapt.
I remember reading somewhere minoxidil increased scalp PGE2, so it makes sense aspirin stops that
@NNight I don't really understand what MR gene expression is. Could you explain?
Low salt raises aldosterone and I think prolactin too. Aldosterone helps you retain sodium by disposing potassium and magnesium, I don't think you want that.
I remember Ray mentioning the better the reflexes of an organism, the more intelligent you are generally.
I also remember this one video of some zoomers robbing an asian guy, with one of them jumping over the counter top to steal things. The asian guy automatically just got a knife and started stabbing him, then dragged him outside. Someone asked the asian guy on a Q&A how he remained calm and quick during that situation and he said something akin to "This sounds a bit weird but the muscle memory of team fighting in League of Legends allowed me to know what I'm doing and not panic".
Now not necessarily League, but any game that's fun that requires fast acting would be good.
@yerrag Don't need your "you have much to learn young padawan" redditism. Seems odd of you to accuse me not having read what he's written if you didn't recall him talking about the rate of living theory.
What if the food cannot be converted to energy as easily because there is a bottleneck
Progesterone and B vitamins fixes that bottleneck.
@yerrag A very reasonable takeaway if you were to read Ray's ideas talking against the Rate of Living Theory, would be to meet the demands of your metabolism.
But no, even in abundance progesterone shouldn't stress the system. When your metabolism increases and you get hungry, you should probably eat.
@bee12 Yeah I think your iron's fine, I wouldn't worry about it. The only time Ray considered iron supplementation as an idea is if your iron saturation is less than 5%, and you seem fine in that regard. I think the issue is hypothyroidism and a general lack of B vitamins (or whatever's missing from your diet. maybe b1 and b7).
It's all reversible. Low pregnenolone creation from cholesterol is associated with wrinkles and fatigue, and your inefficient liver from lack of thyroid creates circulating estrogen and excess cortisol (which probably adds onto the fatigue). I've read glucocorticoids thin the skin, so that makes sense yours is thinning. Ehlers Danlos symptoms are a cause from estrogen and lack of vitamin K, and probably high PTH (from lack of vitamin D and calcium).
Not sure what you CAN eat but if you go on a diet of 2Ls of low fat milk, 1L of OJ, and an egg or two a day with some salt and you'll be generally okay for the time being for nutrients.
Progesterone directly suppresses cortisol and opposes estrogen. I'd definitely get progest-e. The rest is just restoring thyroid function, so this means no polyunsaturated fat intake, eating more foods with cholesterol, and if you're not into supplementing thyroid then vitamins B1 (high dose)/B3/B7 midday and the aspirin in the evening should be a game changer.
So:
