@CO3 To effectively block EMF you would need to sleep inside a big microwave...

You may also want to know about an important difference between earthing and grounding... https://youtu.be/JGD68wd_f7I

@Ismail said in Bioenergetic Cardiology & the Awesome Foursome:

Anyone else had positive/negative reactions to L-Carnitine and/or D-Ribose?

I always felt bad after L-Carnitine. Bioenergetics helped me to understand why:

After L-carnitine, serotonin increased (8-fold in CFS, Sig. = 0.002, 6-fold in hypothyroidism, Sig. < 0.001) whereas fatigue decreased (2-fold in both CFS and hypothyroidism, Sig. = 0.002 for CFS, Sig. < 0.001 for hypothyroidism)

• https://bioenergetic.life/?q=HCG

and

peatbot: Peatbot: HCG, or human chorionic gonadotropin, is a hormone that is important for the health and intelligence of babies, particularly during pregnancy as it helps in strengthening the placenta. However, there are concerns about its use outside of pregnancy. It is suggested that HCG could promote the growth of hidden cancers, as some cancers produce HCG and it might have similar effects to pregnancy in accelerating cancer growth. Therefore, it is considered risky to use HCG for purposes such as weight loss until it can be shown that it does not promote cancer growth. Additionally, while HCG might help in treating some kinds of hypoglycemia, it should not be used or suppressed mindlessly.

@alfredoolivas
Thanks, interesting.

The problem with this study is that it considers the level of TSH below 8–9 mIU/L "normal"...

@ashou You haven't mentioned your diet, lifestyle, or any additional (previous) conditions & bloodwork.

Ray Peat's approach is about continuously Perceive. Think. Act. Taking a holistic perspective in connecting the dots... yourself or with maybe some external advice.

You seem to focus only on rather limited Act, especially on supplements, so most probably such a (reductionistic) approach will not work.

@CO3 Oops, good to know, thank you for the info!

@Cezar4911 said in Thyroidic sleep:

Have any of you here managed to reach this optimum state?

It's reachable but it requires a lot of systemic and systematic work...
Proper nutrition, movement, and environment; adequate levels of things like Ca, Mg, Zn, ADEK, B-vitamins, lowering cortisol and adrenaline first, etc... Continuously Perceive. Think. Act...

BTW "Because the actions of T3 can be inhibited by many factors, including polyunsaturated fatty acids, reverse T3, and excess thyroxine, the absolute level of T3 can’t be used by itself for diagnosis."

@Uncover said in Open-label trials - how is this allowed?:

The most fun part about it is there is awlays something to learn even when I think im almost done I find a new part of the puzzle

Yeah, I've similar feelings here - it's probably nested like a Russian doll... One can think that he is out of the cage, but then turns out one is still inside a bigger cage...

& @MarkusAllenUSA
Regarding Open-label trials - besides what has been already written - and I agree with, another reason is that they are simply cheaper... And knowing that double-blind study can be sophistically manipulated too, then what's the difference?

@yerrag Sorry to hear about your troubles, I wish you well and a quick recovery!

Never trust GenAI about nuanced, subtle, or fuzzy topics. GenAI doesn't think or reason; it just makes statistical inferences between words.

In technical terms, fennel seeds can increase serotonin, but practically not - the amounts are insignificant!
(It is about weak MAO inhibitions)
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3521852/

The most probable mechanism is significantly increasing GABA, which should help with deep sleep.
https://ppj.phypha.ir/article-1-664-en.html

BTW be careful with fennel it can also increase estrogen...

Substances known to potentially lower serotonin: S. Boulardii, lavender, Shilajit, beta-alanine, Ca, Mg, glycine, lysine, Tyrosine/DLPA + BCAA, Aspirin, vitamin B9, B1, quinones, caffeine, creatine, Schisandra, inosine, theanine, propolis, Siberian ginseng, PRL-8-53, LSD, and Manganese; avoiding PUFAs…

@LetTheRedeemed said in Bryan Johnson cooling himself for longevity? Waking temp of 93.4. Seems like a bad idea:

Low temps makes my bones harder you say?

LOL! Good one! You know what I meant

Sometimes grammar isn't my friend...

@LetTheRedeemed said in Bryan Johnson cooling himself for longevity? Waking temp of 93.4. Seems like a bad idea:

bone repair

By my understanding low temp makes it much harder:
"A high level of respiratory energy production that characterizes young life is needed for tissue renewal."

"Thyroid and progesterone, unlike estrogen, stimulate bone-building, and are associated with a decreased risk of cancer. It seems sensible to use thyroid and progesterone for their general anti-degenerative effects, protecting the bones, joints, brain, immune system, heart, blood vessels, breasts, etc."

@LetTheRedeemed said in The immortal, eternal Bryan Johnson broke his frail, childlike ankle while dancing at age 47:

temp's impact on bone health

Easy

Peatbot: The body's temperature can impact bone health by influencing metabolic rate and hormonal balance. A balanced metabolism, indicated by a stable body temperature, supports efficient oxidative metabolism, which is crucial for maintaining bone health. High calcium intake, associated with increased metabolic rate, can help suppress parathyroid hormone, which otherwise can harm the bone by blocking the use of oxygen in tissues and leading to the production of lactic acid in the bone. This lactic acid can dissolve bone and contribute to osteoporosis. Therefore, maintaining a stable and optimal body temperature can support bone health by promoting efficient metabolism and hormonal balance. Additionally, exposure to sunlight, which helps in the production of vitamin D, is important for bone density, and maintaining a good metabolic rate can support this process.

@Insomniac Thanks, interesting, and another proof for the superiority of holistic Ray's ideas above mechanistic biohacking
