Dandruff or scalp irritation? Try BLOO.
The whole section under anti-andrigenic activity really doesnt sound good...
But if it is only locally in the scalp, it might be ok.
The difference of epitestosterone in the scalp between balding and non-balding fasthers is huge. Non-balding fathers have an almost 6 times lower Testosterone/ epitestosterone ratio in the scalp.
I am going to try to dissolve a few mg of 7ketoDHEA in alcohol and apply it to my scalp.

Is this found in any natural food? Is it used in making jams?
No.

Hahahaha well I was thinking more about myself but you have a point now....
Charlie needs liver, milk, all those sorts of foods and some nice garlic and selenium supplements. But can’t sell those.
I felt like I was going to have a mental breakdown before I started that sort of thing.
Have you tried modified citrus pectin for heavy metal removal? It supposedly can remove heavy metal without altering the good minerals.

@Peatful this is the study that you referenced above, which shows a beneficial effect of 25 000 IU of Retinyl palmitate on thyroid markers, meaning increased T3 and lowered TSH.
Its interesting that the rat study found negative effects and the human study postive effects at a similar dosage.
But since human studies are higher up in the evidence pyramide, I tend to interpret this as Vitamin A beeing good for thyroid in reasonable dosages.The effect was especially pronounced in nonobese individuals where T3 increased by more than 60%!
Oh yes, I meant @Peatly

No low vit A but copper chelation.
This stuff charlie talks about is actually dangerous. Especially when I came in and wasn’t thinking clearly in the first place.
Mercury can cause ALL the same sorts of symptoms a copper btw.
Mercury toxicity can also make people insane. Just sayin. So maybe they should check that out.

"The diet can never fail. If you get better it's the diet, if you get worse, it's detox"
Maybe it was that one.Good one. I doubt Charlie can detect sarcasm, though. Maybe someone snitched on you.
Deleting the posts must be a new one. Even in the beginning of his crusade he never deleted the posts after he banned a user. I suspected that he left them online as a deterrent for other users.
I visited the forum this morning for the first time in a few weeks and saw your post about Macadamias. I think Atman was banned, too.
Wait so are you saying you can still see the macadamia post? Because I cant.
It is weird to delete posts, but is very weird to delete a post about macadamia nuts, which have zero vitamin A, it is kind of random.
And it is not just posts but whole threads that he is willing to delete apparetnly. This ship is sinking rapidly.It was this morning, probably around 9AM, so a few hours before you made this thread. When did the ban happen?
Oh ok. The ban was around 11 or 12AM, so that checks out.

You might want to check the RPF in a few weeks to see if you are still banned. Haidut was banned and then he was reinstated. Basically, his was only in time-out. Maybe you and others who have been banned will allowed to post again.
I think haidut had a talk with charlie and then got unbanned.
I doubt that is going to happen with me and even if it did, I dont know if I want to anymore. By posting there I support the forum, which I dont want.

I’ve been struggling to walk because I was taking iron supplements to fix my anemia and got a copper deficiency. Just downed more liver. I’m really pissed off about Charlie.
I feel so confused with this copper deficiency. No wonder Charlie acts like how he acts.
I’m so sick right now and have been for my whole life and grass fed sheep liver is like a superfood for me... Charlie basically almost killed me.
So you did the low Vitamin a diet ?
I suspect I developed a varicose vein because of copper deficiency. It has nothing to do with the low-A-cult, but about 7 years ago I was convinced I had pyroluria and foolishly took great doses of zinc for about 10 months, after which I developed a varicose vein. I suspect I depleted my copper by taking so much zinc which weakened the connective tissue ,which includes the valve of the vein.
Of course it could have other causes, but it is very rare to develope a varicose vein for a men in his 20ies.

I think the core problem is that charlie needs this diet to work, because everything else did not. And there is nowhere to go after peating.
Another weird thing is the constant tagging of people like hans and haidut. It's as if he needs them to believe in his delusions as well, because deep down he knows that he is wrong.

@Mauritio There’s something about the way the anti-Vitamin A people talk that is extremely disturbing for me to read. And I think it’s what you said : their claims are unfalsifiable in principle alone. If you feel better with Vitamin A, you stopped the detox. If you feel worse on the protocol, you are detoxing. It’s so disturbing to argue with people like this.
It's tyrannical and cult-like. As in the biblical archetype of the pharao/ tyrant. In the last months a read a bit about that and dicatators etc. and it is always the same patterns that emerge, whether it's stalin, hitler, the pharao, or your own inner tyrant. The tyrant is the person that can't let go.
@Mauritio The above mentioned posts /threads have been deleted.
Looking through my posts, quite a few have been deleted. Even a post about macadamia nuts I made yesterday , like WTF
@Gaston You might be on to something.
I remember when taking 7ketoDHEA my hairloss was decreased. It is pretty safe to experiment with.
it is not water soluble though.
"7 Keto DHEA (Dehydroepiandrosterone) is a white crystalline powder. It is very soluble in warm methanol, soluble in ethanol, and not soluble in water. Micronized so that 90% of particles are less than 20 μm."
Charlie is going full tyrant right now.
I have posted this study below word for word as I posted it here. 5 minutes later I was banned. Ironically the same study has been posted a few years ago already.
https://bioenergetic.forum/topic/1359/vitamin-a-increases-t3-by-more-than-60-in-humans
EDIT: I also posted the following sentence under a person's profile post about him having trouble / "detox" on the low a diet:
"The diet can never fail. If you get better it's the diet, if you get worse, it's detox"
Maybe it was that one.
"In the vitamin A-deficient rats, the thyroid weight increased and the level of serum thyroxine decreased to one half that of the control rats. Normal thyroid weight and serum thyroxine levels were recovered by the replenishment of retinyl palmitate in the vitamin A-deficient rats. In addition, decreased hormone synthesis was observed in the thyroid glands of the vitamin A-deficient rats."
This study shows a beneficial effect of 25 000 IU of Retinyl palmitate on thyroid markers, meaning increased T3 and lowered TSH.
It's interesting that the rat study (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9596568/#:~:text=The findings demonstrated that long,Dio1 and Dio3 expression levels) found negative effects and the human study positive effects at a similar dosage.
But since human studies are higher up in the evidence pyramide, I tend to interpret this as Vitamin A beeing good for thyroid in reasonable dosages.
The effect was especially pronounced in nonobese individuals where T3 increased by more than 60%!

This study shows that high doses of Vitamin A do lead to hypothyroidism (lowered T3, T4, increased TSH) in a dose-dependant manner.
Now the authors were aware of the pro-thyroid effects Vitamin A has in lower doses, so they wanted to see what higher doses did.
The HED I calculated for the lowest dose was about 30 000 IU per day, so not extremely high, yet it still clearly had a visible anti thyroid effect.
I would have liked to see one with 5 or 10 000 IU, which is a much more realistic dose.
"It has been known that vitamin A deficiency affects thyroid hormones for many years, resulting in iodine deficiency disorders, while vitamin A supplementation alleviates the risk of subclinical hypothyroidism [23, 24]. Recently, a study has been conducted to investigate the relationship between vitamin A and thyroid function in obese individuals. Vitamin A deficiency is more common in subjects with obesity and is significantly related to thyroid dysfunction. Adequate vitamin A levels improved thyroid function in obese subjects with subclinical hypothyroidism [25]. However, no study has focused on the association between vitamin A overload, thyroid dysfunction, and insulin resistance. Therefore, the current study aimed to investigate the effect of prolonged and high doses of vitamin A on thyroid function and glucose metabolism.
@Peatly Wow , very interesting!
Especially those two quotes:
@Peatly said in Vitamin A quotes from Ray's favorite physiology book:
“Several animal studies using mouse models have shown that VAD is related to reduced iodine uptake, impaired coupling of iodothyronines, and reduced thyroglobulin synthesis, which can lead to thyroid hypertrophy and goiter and to a decreased intrathyroidal pool of T3 and T4 (10–15).
