Ammonia when eating meat sound like low stomach acid. Consider B12 and perhaps B6 and folic acid, as they go together. Intestinal overgrowth also comes to mind. Sulfuric foods like garlic and onions help absorb iron and copper, and if used wisely, can have an antibiotic effect.

Inability to digest fat sounds like a bile issue. Supplementing taurine may be wise, as it needed for bile production and is an amino acid abundant in meat, which it sounds like you can't break down right now. Bile also cleans the intestine, so if it's lacking could be a factor in your digestive difficulties.

While I know nothing about iridoglogy, bile is yellowish-green and I would lean towards that rather than copper.

I read that Andrew Torba, CEO/founder of Gab.com went ape about the same time and said some of the same things Charlie did. "People are trying to kill me," "I forgive them for they know not what they do" etc. Torba also managed to kill engagement by making non-text "Gabs" a premium thingy which I think was a whopping $30 a month. Just to shitpost memes.

A small fuzzy brown bird told me that while he tended his farm.

Between that and Charlie copying anything Ray ever said, regardless of whom Ray was addressing, sounds to me like Charlie's got a bunch bit of the 'tism.

@happyhanneke I was reading the other day and stumbled across a paper that said progesterone tells the body to store white fat. I've noticed more anabolic effects from lower doses and fat gain on higher doses.

If I had to guess, I'd think the DHEA is causing heart palpitations. On the other hand, I had to do a lot to recover my health and many things gave me palpitations (that no longer do) as my heart beat became more regular and stronger. That said, DHEA can become estrogen so I'd stay on the side of caution and try a lower dose, if possible.

@chosroes I have upwards to 2 liters a day but part of that is with salt in drinks (400-800mg), juices, and full-fat dairy. I also salt my food quite a bit. If I over do the salt or feel over-full (gassy) I'll have water or sparkling water, usually half a liter in the evening.

@BioEclectic Indeed, I've been making potato-based soups that slow cook in a Crock Pot all day and haven't any issues.

@Mulloch94 For sure, I wasn't managing at all without taking it every day but I can go about 2 days now so it's progress. I have oysters canned in water or fresh-ish local beef liver when I feel the need for vitamin A aside from fatty dairy.

I miss my Dad. He was the type to do everything his doctor said so unfortunately it was just a matter of time.

Conversation, debate, and exchange 101, a brief "step 0" summary.

• Be sure there's subject matter to discuss. Post something of substance could help people and spark discussion of what works

• When composing, ask yourself questions like "What is your basis for (your or my own) claim(s)? When did you apply Hatchian methods (in the case of this thread)? Which ones? Were you able to keep track of relevant details so others in the future would have clues to go by if direct application didn't work?

• Be open to feedback, even when you don't want to hear it. Attachment to particular people and/or ideas can prevent your mind from flourishing and from truly participating

• Be deliberate about getting your meaning across. Don't be patronizing, but make sure you're producing quality content rather than doing a poor job followed by asking rhetorical questions.

• realize that open forum threads are not your dominion, you cannot prevent others from participating

Based!

It's probably for the best I'm in the doghouse and she can't see my endorsement.

Thank you, and yeah it's so weird on RPF she was eloquent and made long responses in most cases but now just making conversation is too much effort. We're better off this way.

I've noticed similar issues, and I do best with long-cooked potatoes (crock pot ftw) and red potatoes seem to digest best. I've switched back to Russets lately because the red and gold potatoes right now kinda suck, so maybe a different kind of potato would be a solution.

Antibiotic reaction is probably the bacteria dying and spilling their guts which is both irritating and toxic. Could be an actual allergy too or even part of their mechanism of action. I'm allergic to one of them and avoid all of them as a result.

I had a work friend several years ago who had endometriosis so bad the doctor said she'd never give birth. She left for a different job but surprised me at work later on that she had conceived! She was using 100mg Prometrium, which is sort of amazing because it has tons of junk like peanut oil and titanium oxide but the progesterone itself was still that powerful. She implied she used it vaginally but I was caught off guard about the whole thing and didn't ask for certain.

@Mulloch94 Anecdotally, when my dad was dying in the hospital they didn't do much to get him his TRT restarted and were shocked Pikachu face when he went from damaged kidneys to nearly failure. In my limited personal experience, androsterone and progesterone both helped pain though I've since moved to 20,000 IU vitamin D a day which includes non-kidney improvements such as T3 response as well.

@HyperTorless I've also seen improvements with getting enough calories and fluids so I second your point.

What helped me most was keeping stress low for appetite, and the the circus of electrolytes and water. Getting plenty of fluids can be difficult but water especially will dissolve gases in the gut and bring relief. IME the gas mimics the same effect as a water-logged intestine by preventing proper intestinal movement, and this dissolution-need diverts water from softening stool, hence the alternating between dry stool and diarrhea.

@S-Holmes
Describing your passive-aggressive, ragequitting attitude while criticizing Hatch are not personal attacks. You obviously chose not to read my post, attacked me anyways, and like the pigeon and chessboard, declared yourself the winner. You are causing the drama by going into histrionics every time the topic doesn't go how you want, including ragequitting. Then you answered Mulloch with the info I, and I assume others, wanted anyway. So yeah, I've read your posts on RPF and I know you can write well and be descriptive but you decided to be an absolute donkey to me and, previously, anyone else who criticizes Hatch. So I can't see how describing your actions as ass kissing is a personal attack, you don't react like this to any other subject matter as I recall.

Choose virtue over drama in the future, don't project, attack someone and play the victim.

@anyone else
For everyone else, I independently came up with the Hatch recommendations Holmes posted and can tell you, without sufficient hormones and thyroid, it may not make a difference. Very helpful and not to disparage, but many others came to the same conclusion on the (former lol) RPF to "eat what their grandparents ate" and their mileage varied as well. IME, T3 may still be warranted as well as hormonal replacement which I have done much more aggressively than Ray ever recommended. I still stand by not wanting to buy an expensive book for the same reason I wouldn't charge money for ppl to read my own personal experiments.

@S-Holmes

I read his weightlifting comment right off of his website, and it was gone about 2 days after I checked again because I was going to screenshot it. I have an eyewitness who both saw it and was surprised to see it disappear.

If you had paid attention, I told you why I didn't read his book, because he spent the free chapter whining about something all guys go through. His self-victimization is just gross. He should have put his best foot forward rather than waste my time as a potential customer.

If you spent the time reading and answering the posts here rather than kissing his ass you would have plenty of time to "unpack" and you wouldn't have made such a faux pas.

"You don't have the time"? Really It should take 30 seconds to type out a bullet list or outline of what helped you, but it's obvious you don't care about that, it's the attention from white knighting you want. because you're not getting the attention you want. Like your idol, you've wasted my time and said nothing at all.

@S-Holmes Let me give you an outside perspective. Hatch has:

• his "free book chapter" was whining about feelings of persecution because he somehow psychically knew his folks only had "the talk" about "long showers" with him but not his brother; also same psychic ability about him being gay at that age.

• he would later come clean and admit most of his weight loss and new website pictures were because his partner forced him to hit the gym, or his partner would leave him

• as Amazoniac points out, Hatch often jumps to conclusions; I have no idea if his work is good or not, it reminds me of old "historical accounts" where the writer admits it was actually a dream or vision

• personally, I've seen you and several others make claims about Hatch and/or his work helping, but can never name specifics, some claiming it would remove potential customers (this seems very parasocial and weird); perhaps you would like to dispel this notion?

So for me, I see a guy who writes like a poet, happens to be the only guy getting certain results from certain things, and then his main physical transformation was from resuming weight lifting (I'm sure the accountability from his partner helped). There is no planet I where I would pay someone like that money.

Like the "well maybe vitamin A is toxic" crowd I notice the same generalized anti-Peat claims which also remain amorphous. I don't personally care about this but the point is that someone who can never describe something isn't saying anything at all.
