I like the one where his plumber was going to retire because he had cartilage damage in his knee or something like that. Ray gave him a bottle of Progest-E to rub it in. A few days later the plumber visited Ray and ran up and down his stairs to show him that he had no pain anymore. He was still working as a plumber ten years later or so.

Progest-E is amazing for pain. While doing yard work, my dad tripped and fell on his side running from some bees and within 2 hours of me applying Progest-E to his ribs, his extreme pain was gone, and it only took one application daily to keep the pain away. Eight months later when he was diagnosed with cancer and had a CT scan to check if it had metastasized, the scan revealed that his ribs had fractured from the fall so it’s quite something for Progest-E to take away the pain of broken ribs. Progest-E is the only supplement that eliminates my migraines and the chronic pain I had from my spine collapsing in 2009. Unfortunately, it messes with my cycle so I rely on a certain diet to stay pain and migraine free, but I always have a bottle in the fridge for emergencies.

I would like to try it on my shoulder and upper back, but couldn't get my hands on a bottle yet. I guess the Progesterone creams on the internet aren't even close to having the same absorption and effect.

I hope your dad is doing all right.

Thank you, Luke. My dad is doing great. It’s too bad that you haven’t been able to try Progest-E. Diet modifications don’t eliminate your shoulder and upper back symptoms, huh?

I can keep it in check by doing certain exercises and avoiding other movements (overhead, like handstands). But often I'm too lazy or forget about it. I never noticed any differences when changing my diet.

But I wonder what the exact mechanism of Progest-E is. There seems to be more going on than pain relief. In the story with the plumber it seemed that he had serious structural damage, and the application of on bottle of Progest-E fixed it permanently. Almost like it fixed the damage.

Thanks for sharing. I wanted to purchase that as well.

Isn't Progest-E also oild-based (coconut)?

Does anybody know how much Progesterone is in Progest-E? 5% seems low.

@Luke
He wants fiction. Is Peat fiction?
I think he should read Henry Miller

Hm, it may sound like fiction to bystanders, but it isn't

I'm not well-versed on the internet slang and are not sure what the currently approved definitions of chad and cuck are. But maybe Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk? The book that the hundred times more popular movie is based on.

I suppose he would call Hermann Hesse a "cuck", but many of his books like Peter Camenzind, Siddharta, Narziß und Goldmund could be a good read for a young guy trying to find his own way in life.

Marcus Aurelius - Meditations
Ernest Hemingway - For Whom the Bell tolls and Fiesta
Charles Dickens - A Tale of Two Cities (cuck potential, but you'd probably liek the character Sydney Carton)

Adam Zamoyski - Napoleon

Since you mentioned books for children:
Michael Ende - Momo (not a joke, good book for adults especially in todays world).
Lucky Luke and Asterix comics

If you are into sports:
David Halberstam - Playing for Keeps
Bill Russell - Go up for Glory
Jerry West - West by West (you'd probably call West a cuck though)

I don't know. Maybe: Ray Peat - Generative Energy?

@alfredoolivas
Were you once a member of a German acne forum by any chance? I remember there was a guy who ate kilos of potatos daily.

Great food.

@JamesL said in Making progesterone at home:

@alfredoolivas I thought I had read something about Progest-E being made by extracting from a special type of sweet potato, is it that difficult?

You can extract diosgenin from yams and synthesize Progesterone from that. But I don't think you can do that unless you are a chemist and have a lab with lots of resources.

Dr. Peat once mentioned that Progest-E is safe because it is refined further and further through a lot of steps. Even commercial products often have impurities and I suppose they have way better labs than any of us here has at home.

Danny and Jay are not on speaking terms as well?

Just saw that Haidut was on a podcast with Danny in October:

I read somewhere - probably on this forum or on X that the podcast was recorded before the beef...

Oh. Then they really took their time.

More expensive. Mine comes from iherb.com
Thorne liquid Mk4.
Expensive if you only look at the price. I take one drop morning. Best 2x/d (half life).
Need a lot of fat to assimilate it. Proportional at 14 - 24 - 36 g fat.
2 kinds: 1 mg or 600 mcg (?) with D3.

That's the only good one I have ever tried. By far the most expensive if looked at the price per bottle, but more than 1000 drops per bottle and 1mg per drop.

The D/K2 only has 100 mcg K2 and 500 IU Vitamin D per drop (the data on iherb is per two drops for whatever reason).

K2 MK7 gave me weird symptoms.

@Luke ️ it’s valentines anything could happen

I can already picture Danny and Georgi riding through Venice in a gondola and toasting their renewed friendship with a glass of orange juice while violins play in the background, and a choir of angels sings: “F*** you, Mercola!”

I still listen to most old GE podcast all the time

Yeah, me too.

I hope Haidut will be a more frequent guest on the Strong SItas podcast.

Yep, I would also like such kind of native/indigenous animism (like Aboriginals in Australia) to become a thing again...

BTW
Danny and Haidut's beef ended a year ago with a declaration of peace, but it seems that some bad blood stayed...

Just saw that Haidut was on a podcast with Danny in October:
https://www.jayfeldmanwellness.com/bv-3-georgi-dinkov-responds-to-estrogen-criticism-serotonin-confusion-and-low-thyroid-on-carnivore/

So I hope there isn't much bad blood left and that there could be a possibility of a renewed partnership sometime in the future.

@Mauritio Yeah, that was me.

Stufen (Steps)

As every blossom fades
and all youth sinks into old age,
so every life’s design, each flower of wisdom,
attains its prime and cannot last forever.
The heart must submit itself courageously
to life’s call without a hint of grief,
A magic dwells in each beginning,
protecting us, telling us how to live.

High purposed we shall traverse realm on realm,
cleaving to none as to a home,
the world of spirit wishes not to fetter us
but raise us higher, step by step.
Scarce in some safe accustomed sphere of life
have we establish a house, then we grow lax;
only he who is ready to journey forth
can throw old habits off.

Maybe death’s hour too will send us out new-born
towards undreamed-lands,
maybe life’s call to us will never find an end
Courage my heart, take leave and fare thee well.

(Hermann Hesse)

Sounds better in the original language.

@Mauritio
No, I didn't really notice androgenic effects (but also not the opposite), just the calming and relaxing effects. And I didn't do any blood tests.

Yes, I'm from Germany. I was also on the old forum. The tulsi tea that you can get on amazon.de is pretty hit-and-miss like I said. Sometimes the taste is so different that it almost seems to be another tea.

I had the extract from Organic India a few years ago and didn't notice much. Please let me know if the product from Sunday naturals is good, I might try it as well. Too much tea is a bit inconvenient when you also drink a lot of juice.

I have been drinking tulsi (holy basil) tea on and off for years. It has a calming and stress-relieving effect. Maybe not instantly with one cup. But if I was in a chronic high stress state and drank multiple cups a day for a week or so, it made me continuously more relaxed.

Also tried capsules, but funnily enough I didn't get the same effect as with tea, although I'd think the extract in the capsules is more potent.

It's also a natural anti-histamine.

Edit:
If someone tries the tea, the quality of the different products is pretty hit-and-miss. The flavor can also be pretty different. A few bad products look like someone has picked dirty weeds from the side of the road and put them in a bag. I have had the best experience with tea bags from 'Lebensbaum', but I don't know if that's available in other parts of the world. On iherb you can find multiple products in capsule form.
