Excess methylation is an epigenetic driver of cancer, but restricting methionine:
• Prevents tumor initiation
• Stops the proliferation of existing tumors
Glycine is our endogenous buffer of excess methylation from methionine.

On average 800 IU of vitamin D daily was shown over several studies to help remineralize the teeth by improving calcium deposition.
This is a tiny dose too, typically 5,000 IU is used if trying to correct deficiency.
@Peatslop-enjoyer Thanks for this. Arw there any more archives
@CrumblingCookie So would the pasteurization of juice create oxythiamine?
@dellamo the TSH and temps would indicate low thyroid. What do you eat normally?
@josh Eating lots of sugar during the day and saving protein for later in the day has improved my breathing and increased my co2 output
@the-MOUSE I like eating yogurt and straining it overnight to reduce lactic acid and reduce the negative effect on liver the glycogen
@Sunniva Very imformative post. Thank you.
B vitamins, particularly B1 (thiamine) and B12, are essential for energy production and proper digestive function. Supplementing with a B complex can improve metabolism and reduce fatigue related to gut issues. People who took a B complex daily reported better digestion, improved energy levels, and reduced symptoms of gut dysbiosis within 6 weeks.
Butter, a rich source of short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), supports gut health by reducing inflammation and promoting the health of the intestinal lining. Adding butter to meals can improve fat digestion and support the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins. People who increased their butter intake reported fewer digestive issues and improved bowel movements within a month.
Choline is crucial for liver function and bile production, which in turn supports digestion and fat metabolism. Foods rich in choline, like eggs and liver, can help improve gut health by supporting bile flow and reducing fat malabsorption. A clinical trial showed that individuals with sluggish digestion who increased their choline intake saw a 30% improvement in fat digestion and reduced bloating after meals.
Taurine, an amino acid, plays a key role in bile production and fat digestion. Supplementing with 1-2 grams of taurine daily can support liver and gallbladder function, improving the digestion of fats and reducing symptoms of gallbladder sluggishness. In a study, patients taking taurine reported a 35% improvement in fat digestion and a reduction in bloating after meals.
Oregano oil is a powerful antimicrobial that can help reduce harmful bacteria in the gut, promoting a healthy balance of gut flora. Taking 1-2 drops of oregano oil diluted in water or a carrier oil daily can reduce gut infections and improve digestion. Studies show that oregano oil reduced symptoms of gut dysbiosis, such as bloating and gas, by 40% over a 6-week period.
Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) helps neutralize excess stomach acid and supports proper digestion. Taking 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda in water before meals can alleviate acid reflux and improve digestion. It’s particularly useful for individuals with low stomach acid, as it helps balance pH levels. Studies show that baking soda improved symptoms of indigestion by 30% in people with acid imbalances.
Milk thistle is a powerful herb that supports liver detoxification, which in turn benefits gut health. A healthy liver helps process toxins and excess hormones, reducing the burden on the digestive system. Supplementing with 200 mg of milk thistle daily improved liver function and reduced gut inflammation by 25% in individuals with sluggish digestion and liver congestion.
Caffeine, found in coffee and tea, stimulates gut motility and can improve digestion by speeding up the movement of food through the digestive tract. However, too much caffeine can cause irritation in sensitive individuals. In moderation (1-2 cups daily), it can enhance digestion and reduce constipation. A study found that caffeine improved gut motility by 20% in people with slow digestion.
Potassium is critical for maintaining fluid balance and muscle function in the digestive tract. Low potassium levels can lead to constipation and sluggish digestion. Increasing potassium-rich foods like orange juice and potatoes can improve digestion by supporting smooth muscle contractions. A study found that individuals with higher potassium intake had 25% better digestion and reduced constipation symptoms.
Activated charcoal helps remove toxins, endotoxins, and gases from the gut, promoting better digestion and reducing bloating. Ray Peat has discussed its benefits for detoxification. Taking 500 mg of activated charcoal 1-2 times per week has been shown to reduce bloating by 40% and improve gut health by binding to toxins and facilitating their removal.
Sodium plays an important role in maintaining proper hydration and electrolyte balance, which is crucial for digestion. Low sodium levels can slow down gut motility and cause constipation. Adding a pinch of salt to meals or drinking salted orange juice can help support digestion by improving gut muscle contractions. A clinical study showed that increased sodium intake improved bowel regularity by 35% in individuals with sluggish digestion.
Lactase is an enzyme that helps break down lactose, the sugar found in milk. For individuals who are lactose intolerant, supplementing with lactase (9,000 FCC units before meals) can improve the digestion of dairy products and reduce symptoms like gas, bloating, and diarrhea. Studies show that using lactase improves dairy tolerance by 50% in people with lactose sensitivity.
