What kind of iron supplement are you taking? How much? And how do you feel from it even tho its early to tell?

@Razvan Also having good thyroid function and good hormones will store less iron and preferably use it (that's what you need).

@questforhealth Keep focusing on what we spoke in the other thread and I guarantee you will see improvements. After the focus on iron, its better to focus on copper. There is a trend when raising iron, copper can get even lower and then a period with higher copper foods will be needed.

@questforhealth
Taurine should help for the digestion and also help utilize iron and copper better.
Be carefull with too much B1, it's very good indeed, but can raise acetylcholine too much to the point of making your racing thoughts much worse. Keep in mind what you feel and be aware of your experience even tho it's crazy hard to focus when having low iron and/or low copper.

@Truth
This is just so evil to put Ray Peat death thread there, crazy, from a guy with "god".
Like my grandmother said "god is in your heart" "in your behaviour".

@DonkeyDude I think she is just not getting properly good sex from her husband, thus going on forums and showing hate and delusion.
In my country we have a saying for the "Karens" that make fight for no reason, we say they are "unfucked".

@questforhealth We spoke on the other thread, I don't have anything to add to fix your problems other than what I said there. But if you have any questions, feel free to ask them.

@questforhealth Just said what I had to say in the other thread. If you have any questions pleaseee.

@questforhealth Yes, molybdenum is crazy strong with zinc to chelate copper.
There is a lot of horror stories about this.
You dont need anymore zinc, like I told you I would focus especially on iron and getting enough copper, beef heart is good for this. Try to introduce thyroid when eating iron foods after a while, if you have better effect is clear. Also like I said thyroid should also raise ceuroplasmin and copper and will regulate iron.

@questforhealth Yes, like I said before some people dont respond to thyroid when having low iron or low copper.

@questforhealth Too much or too little vitamin A could impair copper and iron transportation to vital parts and could make them get toxic in some organs and deficient in other parts. Also thyroid function is dependent on this and vitamin D aswell. There needs to be a balance beetween them. Liver might be too concentrated and if you dont respond well to it just don't eat it. Vitamin A is not a problem and it's necessary.

@questforhealth
It takes 2-3 months to resolve these problems. It can go from delirious to confident, calm and happy resolving a mineral deficiency. We need a good iron-copper balance, they are truly essential and synergetic. Be aware also that too much beef could mess things up, its not a good food for the copper iron balance because of having too much zinc.
Studies with mice feeding them only beef made them anemic and copper deficient. I would prefere more beef heart. Dark chocolate, black olives, potatoes and blackstrap mollasses and maybe not too much goat milk are good foods for keeping a better mineral balance.

Let me know!

@questforhealth Zinc like I said in the other post is a strong iron and copper chelator, I would stop immediatly, that could cause also the walking problems paired with the adrenalized feeling from maybe iron deficiency.
Like i said, i would get a copper panel and iron panel to verify what i'm saying.

@questforhealth Liking gasoline is clearly a symptom of iron deficiency. You need iron and since you said you felt hypersomnic after a bit from it indicating low copper you might need also copper, I think you could have low ceuroplasmin still just because just because your not so iron deficient yet to the point of hemoglobin going too low, if you keep taking aspirin and E at some point your hemoglobin would also drop and then the ceuroplasmin and copper would rise too much as compensatory mechanism of too severe iron deficiency.
I would not supplement copper, just getting it from food with higher iron also and of course stopping aspirin and E for a period.
Also, cow milk has a bad copper/zinc ratio and zinc is a very strong iron and copper chelator apart form the calcium in which chelates the iron even more. Swapping it with goat milk should be much better due too better copper/zinc ratio.
Ceuroplasmin could also be low from low thyroid and thyroid is also needed to utilize properly and activate iron and copper synergetic work. Thyroid+ high iron foods with enough copper and not much zinc, while stopping aspirin and E sounds like a good start. But, be aware, you can have very bad reactions or even 0 reaction from thyroid while iron deficient so if it doesn't work I would introduce it after reassuring better iron status.

@questforhealth Are you sensible to strong odors like gasoline for exemple? Do you even enjoy it? Do you get electric reaction to touching some materials? What are you describing was similar to some point to what i was feeling when I was so iron deficient(low appetite aswell from too much adrenaline)to the point that I started to become anemic from years of too high calcium and too much aspirin and vitamin E on a daily basis. Iron supplementation for 2 months fixed that while like I said lowered copper a bit too much and going to the other side of the symptoms of my previous post which got fixed pretty quickly within days of eating more copper rich foods. And of course iron supplements wreck also the gut.

@Razvan Basically, I think low iron to the point of almost anemia = adrenalized, sympatetic, racing thoughts, compensation for low oxygenation by your body putting you in high adrenaline to survive while having some high copper symptoms like paranoia, fear and low androgen behaviour.

Low copper= Not so much adrenaline and no paranoia, but spaced out, fatigued and having difficulty walking with coordonation problems also hypersomnia tendencies.

@questforhealth
Usually copper toxicity doesn't make you clumsy or having problems with coordonation and walking, it just makes you delirious and paranoid while you can walk fast and very coordonated. I felt something similar when I was having higher copper levels while i was iron deficient anemic. Iron supplementation fixed that, lowered too much copper and I started to have coordonation walking problems and spaced out feeling from the low copper levels that iron dropped, got fixed eating higher copper foods.

Have you checked your iron panel?

@questforhealth Do you have racing thoughts combined with a parasympatetic feeling like not having adrenaline but the mind is just racing or is it combined with a delirious adrenalized feeling?
Based on this I might understand some more.

@questforhealth Is this paired with loss of balance and coordonation?
Yes copper toxicity might exists, not implying it doesn't. I just think its very easy to deplete copper and i've seen cases of people going from toxicity to deficiency very fast.

@Razvan The copper toxicity thing sounds just a correlation because liver has high amounts of it paired with high vit A so that may be two birds with one stone for this nonsense theory.
