Could we not incorporate wallpaper on the sides like this:

Beautiful but not advised. Why? => too long to load the page.

@ora said in Fish oil kills neurons, Coconut oil dilutes this:

That study is pretty poorly run. I

Yes, indeed. Well seen.
Not realist.
And moreover:

1. 8 weeks is to short to see deep deleterious effects.
2. When specifying "vitamin alpha-tocopherol" is not sufficient. I don't take into account studies with dl-toco (synthetic). Less efficient.
   "the fatty acid composition of brain PUFA was significantly altered, even if alpha-tocopherol was added to the salmon-oil diet."

i think gelatin can have endotoxin

Gelatin (bone broth) excite histamine release. Must be take into account when suffering from allergies.

Interaction between fat-soluble vitamins A D K
Key ideas
Nutritionists talk about vitamin K as if there were only one type!
We know the role of vitamin K1 (phytomenadione) for its role in coagulation. It is mainly found in green vegetables.
Vitamin K2 (menaquinone) is less well known and has no RDA recommended by health authorities!
We can convert K1 into K2 but it is random and notoriously insufficient.
K2 plays a key role in the activation of hormones that regulate calcium metabolism: osteocalcin, which is involved in the mineralization of bone matrix, and matrix Gla protein (MGP), which protects soft tissues against calcification.
The role of vitamin K2 is not limited to these functions alone. Here, it is much more than a co-factor because vitamin K2 is the substance that allows dependent proteins A and D to activate/come to life. While vitamins A and D act as signaling molecules, telling cells to produce certain proteins, vitamin K2 activates these proteins, giving them the physical ability to bind calcium.

Interactions between vitamins A, D, E, and K
http://www.westonaprice.org/health-topics/abcs-of-nutrition/nutritional-adjuncts-to-the-fat-soluble-vitamins/
Summary
• Vitamins A, D, and K2 interact synergistically to support immune health, provide for adequate growth, support strong bones and teeth, and protect soft tissues from calcification.
• Magnesium is required for the production of all proteins, including those that interact with vitamins A and D.
• Vitamins A and D support the absorption of zinc and zinc supports the absorption of all the fat-soluble vitamins.
• Many of the proteins involved in vitamin A metabolism and the receptors for both vitamins A and D only function correctly in the presence of zinc.
• Dietary fat is necessary for the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.
• Vitamin K2 activates proteins by adding carbon dioxide to them. We can increase carbon dioxide production by consuming carbohydrates, exercising, and maintaining robust thyroid status.
• The fat-soluble vitamins thus interact not only with each other, but with other nutrients and metabolic factors as well. This level of complexity should urge us to exercise caution when interpreting scientific research, and to cooperate with the wisdom of nature by obtaining vitamins through nutrient-dense foods.
Throughout the twentieth century, we viewed the fat-soluble vitamins in isolation from one another. Researchers relegated vitamin K to blood coagulation, and ignored vitamin K2 entirely because it is present in such small quantities in the diet. Vitamins A and D each fell in and out of favour, the popularity of one always rising at the expense of the other. Ignoring the forest to study one tree at a time, the concept of synergy eluded us.
In order to truly understand the fat-soluble vitamins, however, we must understand that vitamins A, D, and K cooperate synergistically not only with each other, but also with essential minerals like magnesium and zinc, with dietary fat, and with key metabolic factors like carbon dioxide and thyroid hormone.

@DavidPS and others
Remind that when eating spinach, you need a lot of calcium and citrates because it's very high in oxalates. +/ 600 mg for 100 gr.
The body can only manage 50 mg per day; 150-200 mg is often taken but what is higher than 50 mg is taken away in urine (citrate) and in stools (calcium).
I never take more than 200-250 mg Ca element. When I eat spinach, I mix it with my meal (potato, spinach or broccoli, 1 egg (or egg yolk), a small onion lightly cooked, and spices) + 4 oz. beef (100-110 g).
I take then once 1000 mg citrate calcium tablet (big one) if I haven't got enough calcium for the day (1200 instead of 850 mg Ca) or I take 2 doses (2.5 g x 2) potassium citrate powder.
The optimal minimal ratio Ca / Ox is 1/3. So in theory 200 mg Ca per 100 gr spinach (600 mg oxalates).
Mind for lithiasis if you don't manage well. And when you don't balance well with other minerals, if deficit in base, you're going to excite PTH and bone remodeling.
Edit: 200 mg Ca element is not the same as 200 mg calcium citrate. There is +/ 30 % Ca element in Ca citrate.
Note: Calcium to magnesium ratios <1.7 and >2.8 can be detrimental, and optimal ratios may be ∼2.0 for bone mineral density.
Taking calcium alone does not stop or even slow bone loss and does not prevent osteoporosis according to recent studies. Need for Mg element 480 mg target.

@Mossy said in Assumimg I have dysbiosis gut is made worse by any soluable fiber and insoluable:

1. Is that to say coconut oil is pro bacteria?
   2.I've never heard this before,
   3.but from my experience with coconut oil, I could see this being the case. I don't feel well when I take it.
   4.This is really pronounced when I take it straight, but I'm now considering even within food it may negatively affect me.

1. some kinds of SFA are useful , but excess unbalance is not appropriate. Let's say 45/45/10 %.
2. doi: 10.1159/000371687
   Interactions between diet, bile acid metabolism, gut microbiota, and Inflammatory Bowel Diseases.
   => excess SFA, sugar and lack of veggies.
3. Listen to your body. Stop 1 month with coconut oil. Then take 2 x1 tsp with a meal.
   Other kinds from butter and free-range cattle / poultry / duck / ...
4. Coconut oil has the capacity to kill LPS bacteria. Liver overburdened. Need some olive oil to carry them away. Not advised to take coco at he beginning of a detox, or when you take antibiotics.

When I have have problem to digest food:

• enzymedica lipogold (when bloating)
  -- Betaine HCL (with ginger & gentian bitters), from Doctor's best. once a day, at evening meal.

@Mossy said in Is lutein a Magic Bullet for cognition?:

Thanks for the info, though this contradicts what @DavidPS posted above, where cooked spinach has more lutein than raw.

I suppose it varies from different studies and what is found in the ground.

@peatboy2416 said in What supplenents should I take as a 16-yo boy:

Regarding probiotics is yogurt ok?

Variety is thé Key to avoid prédominance of some phyla. Yaourt ok if one Month left to consume. But it IS weak. Greek yaourt IS fine (8-10 %) fat.
WE need thé kind from polyphenols too (fruit veggies).
Kéfir from milk is one option. Still need to vary / change every 2 or 3 weeks.

Hi,
The best option should be to avoid what is useless and detrimental but not completely to "save life in society". It's a often a question of frequency.
Mind excess PUFA from oil, except olive oil and cococut oil. Butter is OK. No imitation.
Begin your meal with some raw food (vegetables), to optimize digestion and probiotics.
Immunity is given by intestinal bacterial at 70-80 %.
Take sunshine for vitamin D but not in excess (30-60' is enough).
You need magnesium when / if you stress. Take it after, not before exams / hard work, e.g.
Later, some vitamin E, but not now.
Take exercise outside : walking is already exercising.
Enough for a beginning.

@cs3000 said in Just 1 minute of red light is effective:

Ray said just a couple minutes, or a quick flash, is enough to help stimulate mitochondria and quench excited electrons that are out of their proper flow

Yes, the right time is fine but too long is counter-productive, not as said in the first link given.
And do not make wrong spare-money when buying the red light.

@Insomniac said in DNP causes fat loss by uncoupling. Aspirin uncouples but doesn't cause fat loss. Is there a dose where there is eventually a DNP like effect? If not why not?:

Maybe this is around where it starts to increase metabolism. Hard to say

Have you taken into account a long-time use of aspirin on platelet (less).
Must be compensated with staples when taking aspirin, and pauses.
I won't target my objectives with only aspirin. Need more CO2 ...

Serotonin's Journey: Intestine to Brain Effects
"Events in the intestine, where most serotonin is produced, in the blood where it’s transported, and in the lung, where much of it is detoxified, will affect the brain. Toxins produced by intestinal bacteria cause serotonin to be released into the bloodstream, and if the platelets aren’t able to keep it tightly bound until the lungs can eliminate it, some of it will reach the brain, where it will interfere with sleep and other brain functions."

• July 2019 - Ray Peat's Newsletter

Lungs' Role in Detoxifying Serotonin with CO2
"Although the liver has a much larger capacity than the lungs for detoxifying serotonin, the lungs detoxify several times as much of the circulating serotonin as the liver does. The reason for this is that in the high oxygen environment of the lungs, carbon dioxide is lost from the blood, and carbon dioxide is needed for retention of serotonin by the platelets. With the loss of CO2, the platelets release their serotonin very quickly, to be immediately detoxified by the local MAO."

@LetTheRedeemed said in How to fix haemorrhoids/piles?:

Peaty answers of course would be experimenting with vit k, glycine, aspirin, progest-e, thyroid, and b vitamins like thiamine.

Well seen (+ niacinamide 10 mg 2 days a week).
Need K2 and vit E (100 mg) one another day.
When I have hemorrhoid, I use essential oils in mix with oil and organic silicium (G5)

When I want to lose wait I create a deficit 20 % 5 days a week. and 2 days a week I follow 5.2 diet. 2 days (not 2 contiguous days) with a serious deficit, 2 meals
Breakfast round 10 a.m. with 2 eggs, one apple or an orange. Need a few carbs (> 20 g) to avoid an insulin peak, with only proteins.
At +/ 4 or 5 o'clock: a protein (steak 120 gr), a fruit and a bowl of soup.

@Insomniac said in DNP causes fat loss by uncoupling. Aspirin uncouples but doesn't cause fat loss. Is there a dose where there is eventually a DNP like effect? If not why not?:

Did you notice it help you lose fat with the tweaks?

What I see is that when I take B3 high dose (niacinamide 100 mg), I don't lose fat. I gain some. According to theory, lipolysis shouldn't have last more than 2 hours long. But not with me when taking B1 B2 B3 B6 and TMG at breakfast + B1 at midday (500 K/cal, with optimal ratio for macronutrients (G40 - L20/30 - P20/30, among which SFA).
These "tweaks" are to recent to sea an evolution on my "living state" (71 years old, 84 kg). Not bad but could be better. Tend to be lazy.
