ATP can be considered a biological “hydrotope” — dissolving aggregates in your cell.

This can prevent diseases such as Alzheimer’s.

Caffeine may exert similar solubilizing properties on proteins, with similar structure to the “A” (adenosine) in ATP.

There can be between 0.25 and 2 ng/ml T3 in milk. Let's take a middle value of 0.5 -- this gives you about 2ug T3 in a gallon of (raw) milk.

This is enough to get some metabolic effects, but is not replacement.

Administering Coca Cola or Pepsi to mice nearly DOUBLED levels of the 'testosterone receptor' (androgen receptor).

The sodas also increased testicle size and serum testosterone.

Raw milk contains lactoperoxidase, which is the body’s first line of defense against bacteria.

You can therefore prevent cavities and tooth decay by drinking a glass of raw milk before bed.

Not to mention the calcium for your bones, and protein for overnight muscle growth.

Depleting tryptophan, the precursor to serotonin, caused significant anxiety reduction in both healthy and anorexic women.

It was proposed by the authors that the depletion of tryptophan (serotonin) is why anorexics find relief from eating less.

Anorexics also had a higher level of tryptophan compared compared to the amino acids that compete for brain penetrance ('LNAAs'). This suggests that those with anorexia may have excessive serotonin production in the brain, and tryptophan restriction corrected it.

Your gut bacteria may be degrading your testosterone.

M. neoaurum secretes an enzyme that degrades testosterone. Actinomycetes may be involved too.

Recolonizing the gut with appropriate prebiotics may help: raw milk, red polyphenols from fruits.

S. bouladrii could be another therapeutic option, potentially with antibiotics.

Thiamine (Vitamin B1) helps speed up the breakdown of BCAAs through the enzyme complex BCKDH.

If you’re in “BCAA torpor”, obesity reinforced by protein, thiamine can help.

Another study showed that thiamine-fed animals could eat more calories and gain less weight.

It also completely protected them from a fatty liver.

When cancer patients were given seed and fish oils, it stopped the body's 'Natural Killer' cells from killing cancer.

Stopping the oil intake for 3 months restored the body's natural anti-cancer mechanism.

Avoiding sunlight increases your probability of dying by 100%

Multiple studies have agreed: those who avoid the sun have at least double the risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease, and other mortality.

Researchers in 2016 put men in a box with bright light for 30 minutes each morning. Testosterone increased by 71% in those who were in the bright light box, but not those who were in the dim light box.

Their subjective libido also increased 3-fold.

n mice that are 'genetically' prone to diabetes, SUGAR WAS PROTECTIVE.
To induce diabetes, heart disease, or fatty liver in animals, you put animals on a high fat diet.

This doesn't work with saturated fats, though.

You cannot induce diabetes with coconut oil alone.
You can with seed oils.

I saw studies where carbonated water applied to wounds made them heal much faster. Same with injuries of bone. I wonder if washing hair with carbonated water instead of still would promote griwth from extra Co2.

A recent study showed that EMFs oxidize the unsaturated fats from seed oils, harming the organism.

Removing seed oils will make you resilient against EMFs. Vitamin E can help too.

Experimentally, you can induce fatty liver by overfeeding fructose/sucrose.

However, animals overfed carbohydrates have a higher metabolic rate and demand more nutrients.

Thiamine (B1) completely prevented fatty liver from developing in sheep overfed sugar.

Essential fatty acid deficiency prolongs survival back to normal levels in a Lupus mouse model

Vitamin K

• Doubled testosterone in rats
• Stops prostate cancer
• May cure enlarged prostates

Deficiency may cause the reverse: low T, prostate health issues, etc.

Warfarin leads to Vitamin K deficiency - other blood thinners should be considered.

Is fried food always bad even in saturated fats like tallow. I would imagine any oil would be unstable at temperatures that high.

Trehalose is a sugar that may act primarily on water, rather than any specific biological pathway, to improve our health.

In species resistant to the stress of drying, trehalose is produced in high levels to keep the organism hydrated despite low levels of water.
Trehalose is found in honey, mushrooms, and shellfish.

Science from the Soviet era showed that hormone imbalances could cause cancer.

Normally, thyroid hormones work as potent "reparogens," ensuring DNA fidelity.

With low levels of the protective hormones, cellular reliability ceases and you get cancer from stressors that you would have otherwise survived.

Not all carbs are created equal. This study demonstrates that.
Top line:
High starch diet.

Middle line:
Control diet - normal macro ratios.

Bottom line:
High sucrose diet.
