@bruschi11 Sorry if I upset you, I won't comment on here any more and I wish you the best.

I think criticism is not bad sometimes it can change your mind to do better. Why post it for others to see on this forum. At that point just write a diary so nobody gives criticism. But it's clear bruschi believes in this in that case you can just see how he does and if he improves. And even that is hard because none of us know each other in real life to objectively see if someone is doing better. So then the only thing you can do is support people in their own beliefs and maybe give them alternatives or tips.

This is the hard thing about these forums is that you can't really see how it objectively improves someone only their subjective experiences.

Dht raising glutamate has literally made me diabetic.

One dose of epiandrosterone Monday afternoon. It’s now Saturday

I’m barely eating carbs and feeling extremely diabetic. Literally can’t stand it.

It’s methylglyoxal. My body can’t move it with nadp dying as glutamate overwhelms nadp. Nadp moves glutamate to akg. Nadp moves methylglyoxal to pyruvate.

I think im dying. Brain barrier was completely destroyed from all this. I know what I felt like when I recovered in 2022.

It became a bazillion times different disease once I truly developed anemia in 2023. The brain damage from electric convulsive therapy made things a lot worse to end that year.

I do think end of the day oxygen toxicity occurs. Body can’t move oxygen through the electron transport chain so it overwhelms the body.

It is a true tragedy what happened to me. I’m gonna continue to ride this out but ending my life is becoming more and more of a reality by the week.

It’s very hard for people reading this to understand. Like Alex the other day @fazed or whatever the dude is a 28 year old kid with some past autism/ cfs issues not ideal health or whatever. I had that stuff for years. I get it.

A person like that has zero understanding of what it’s like to live with a neurodegenerative disease. Which is why I get so mad. He has noooooo idea what it’s like to get like this. When I had cfs etc 3 years ago and the prior several years to that, I never would’ve ever imagined how bad it could get for someone .

But I saw it. I saw guy in the psyche ward with Parkinson’s. I saw how bad things can get for male health if things aren’t right. The brain literally loses attachment to the body.

The body needs to connect itself to the brain. And that doesn’t happen when it produces too much hydrogen nitrogen not enough carbon. Brain needs carbon it need co2. Glutamate is the opposite of that glutamate leads to too much nitrogen and hydrogen.

The situation is gross. And it’s not my fault. Although literally everyone wants to blame me. I took an antibiotic taking k2 out. Which caused a 7 year spiral with me now literally with a neurodegenerative disease. Such a disaster.

I feel like crap on high DHT too. So I think for some DHT is not good in too high amounts or even supplementing it It lowers estrogen too or at least the effect of it on the receptors so if you are already lower in estrogen you will feel shittier. I feel better with lower DHT except when it gets too low then I feel even worse. Like from things like finasteride.

Doesn't the electric shock therapy cause low potassium? From the stress. So does DHT. Might be you have potassium problems. Potassium is also needed for insulin pretty sure,

Everything is potassium for me. But the cell needs protection from oxidative stress to retain it . It needs cysteine it needs glycine for chloride so the cell can retain potassium too.

It’s a fucking disaster . I can’t believe this is all real.

@RebelWithACause you take hormones? My estradiol is low and I think my DHT will be high.. Helen said zinc and B2 lowers 5ar and that balances DHT or something like that? I never tested DHT but I found lab that is testing it. I should probably test it.

No I don't. Could be yes your DHT is high. You can get it tested but personally I'd just focus on hairtest and see what they say and then go from there. Iron toxicity can cause high DHT but can also come from other things like not breakdown hormones (Gilberts). You already take B vitamins right? those will metabolise hormones too.

 

[Yura]

I take Bs. Now I just stopped before blood test. I had no idea that biotin supps can alter TSH blood test lol. I was probably taking some biotin during most of my blood tests..
I will test iron and copper this time with that thyroid panel. Just to see if my iron dropped from not eating any red meat for monts + that 350ml bleeding.. I want feritin under 100 ideally close to 50. Also will be interesting to see if my liver enzymes are high since I am taking TUDCA. Hopefully my body will be fully recovered from that job. Because if not everything creatinine, liver enzymes etc. will be elevated again...

 

[bruschi11]

Getting air hunger again. That means I’m producing too much hydrogen. I really think it’s glutamate pushing hif1/ hydrogen causing the severity of my stuff

 

[bruschi11]

^^ as I say that I test this morning and the common finding is as I get worse iodine raises. As body isn’t using iodine . Due to bh4 issues . Bh4 the key to tyrosine for iodine utilization as this turns on both b6 and iron availability occur copper too due to A metabolism.

Glutamate seems to really turn off bh4. The last few scans ever since I crashed from dht earlier this week show iodine increasing without supplementation.

1-andro (it’s really 1-dhea it’s just a metabolite of dhea) seems to really be the key to bh4 for me. But yesterday I took it after days off….

All I feel is glutamate. Nothing like a week ago before taking dht .

Dht caused a glutamate surge. Now if I push any hormones that feed dht like 1 andro does (far downstream but it will still feed dht), I get glutamate death.

I’m sooooooo angry

 

[bruschi11]

Ok 4 andro feeds epiandrosterone (dht type that killed me.

Yesterday 1 andro seemed fineeee. It really does not feed dht. I put it in standalone only for an hour yesterday.

4 andro went in after and I knew it didn’t hit right.

4 andro feeding epiandrosterone clearly causing the glutamate surge im dealing with. That was originally caused by epiandrosterone earlier this week.

Will stay off 4 andro.

 

[bruschi11]

Ok 1 andro (androstenediol) converts to testo via 3b-hsd. Which is reliant on NAD.

Glutamate takes out NAD too so 1 andro can’t convert.

Bh4 is strongly reliant on NAD for its formation. So we see bh4 dying. Glutamate taking down nad makes it so 1 andro can’t do its job. And if anything will take down NAD even more due to its pressure on 3b-hsd.

And yup…. Again another crash and phosphurus drops again.

I think sulfur phos are #1 and 2 to really get going right first on oligoscan and htma.

But not by taking these. By making these.

Dr Wilson “people get better when phos comes up. “

^^^ that said clearly lithium very helpful today. Actually able to eat bunch of watermelon without issue. It’s Nad/ nadp clearing methylglyoxal.

I clearly have a bad cold if not a fever/flu currently. It was brewing and really just took me down in last 24 hours.

 

[bruschi11]

I have Covid. Remdesevir and ventilator here I come!

 

[Yura]

How do you know that? I have infections in my tonsils, lymphnodes around ears for sure as well for decades. Just mild cold wind and I feel sharp pain in/around my ears all the time.. It's because my white blood cells and neutrophils are always low from that zinc/copper/iron imbalance..

 

[RebelWithACause]

Get well bro! Whatever it is.

What does watermelon contain such that you consider it to be a "probe" of a kind?

Did a Covid test, have all the symptoms. Was with someone who got Covid too

It’s not a probe it usually is good. But orange juice water melon chocolate I’m able to handle sugars no issue

The glutamate surges last week were making me diabetic overnight

 

[bruschi11]

knowing lith (nad) is so big on 3b-hsd.

That moves preg to prog . The same way it moves 1 andro to test.

I’m very short on preg. B12 working should be the key to that but it just isn’t. Maybe it’s the severity of my state. But preg although improved a bit last labs, preg is still fuckin low. Undetectable to 40. Want preg closer to 100. Lithium lowering it more.

So after lithium yesterday oligoscan showed me clearly needing 1 andro badly. As the whole b5 pathway shut down.

So I gave 1 andro this morning. Sure I’m feeling it. I’ll take more later today.

But something is clearly missing. And if lithium activating 3b-hsd is moving preg to prog. And it is. I mean it clearly is.

The iodine issues are what take down prog. Then I need lithium for prog.

I gotta feed preg it kinda just is what it is.

 

[bruschi11]

Everything is about progesterone for retaining potassium. There’s no doubt in my mind.

My dad used ozempic the last 6 months. I scanned him. His b5 system turned on raising thyroid . BUT DEAD potassium now.

it’s dead because thyroid is stealing progesterone….. and oh yea his weight loss is stopping
