Fighting….

@bruschi11 "Maybe I’ll start really trying something different here like bone broths. Or just take freaking collagen every morning like I did when I recovered from pfs lol."
I don't know why people are making broths from bones when it is not that high in collagen at all.. Pigs feet and skin on the other hand is basically nothing but collagen.
People in Asia know why they are making broths mostly from pigs feet and skin or even chicken feet etc.. In Western world everyone would tell you that's disgusting, but it works. for people in Asia to keep their connective tissues healthy to old age..

Interesting. F the bone broth I’ll just get collagen.

My glycine dropped in aminos with the high sugar pro thyroid approach while on Reta. I saw it as bad thing and it is ultimately but it really isn’t as step 1 was being taken care of. Now how to get to glycine.

Choline is probably the real one here.

@bruschi11 also taking hydrolyzed collagen with muscle meat I am eating, but not sure if it's a good idea due to lead content of most collagen supplements.. I would love to just eat animals nose to tail. But unfortunately I don't do well on high saturated fat/cholesterol diet..

I might be moving from Reta to Elora.

The 5ht-2c agonism by the GLP1s could be what make them the worst drugs in the world long term.

I think maybe this is what converts progesterone to cortisol….

We want thyroid to do that. Not a drug.

Let’s remember. That guy bruschi11 decided to use cyproheptadine and then mirtazapine in 2016/2017 in order to block 5ht-2c and keep cortisol down. (Ray peat inspired)

I mean today is bad. Real bad. Scary bad. Everyday is tho. It’s a really bad life.

I can’t believe this all happened to me.

I injected Reta again. Couldn’t help myself.

I think I’m just leaking fucking progesterone . Such a horrid approach GLP1s if so

What are the dangers of reta? I understand the benefits but people are selling it as if it is some type of miracle drug.

Basically opposite of what we want for majority with chronic illness. gLP1 causes progesterone depletion by activating 5h1-2c serotonin receptor. Causes prog—> cort.

Ray Peat would hateeeee this.

It’s supposed to be done with thyroid.

Elora is good it seems. I did my 3rd injection yesterday .

Went from .25x2 last week. To .5x2 tthis week.

We will see how things go. Working a lot . Like tons. And not eating much. But trying to maintain sugar with orange juice.

I’m trying to lose weight and turn metabolism on simultaneously which is just tough on co2 .

Iodine is what gives me most hope. That this is about t4 the engine and allow the things that make t4 next to iodine and convert that t3 (selenium utilization) are the things that matter most here .

 

[bruschi11]

I went on TRT for the chromium reason. But if it really ERb for glucagon reception that testosterone really benefits and tyrosine retainment for thyroid? I’m starting to think the latter 2 is more where test is needed.

The chromium issue is glucagon insulin amylin related.

I’m scared about Elora not gonna lie. So I feel obligated while taking it to lose as much weight as possible.. but again gotta watch my sugar on the CGM closely. Follow blood pressure. Etc

 

[bruschi11]

b12 without iodine basically raises insulin is how I see it smh

 

[bruschi11]

Think it’s time to really start doing Epsom salt or mag chloride baths.

Cu1 (thyroid cu2) + nad = b2 to fmn is really what I’m saying now. Fmn demands mag.

Cu1+ nad raises homocysteine from
Sah pressuring b12 and zinc

Added Reta yesterday. Elora is the base I’ll be taking every 3rd day. But Reta is gonna go in lower dose every 4th 5th 6th day. We are gonna see .

i think i gotta be fair to myself and stop looking at the beginning of August as my cut phase. It was a disaster i put the Elora in.which was only like 11 days ago? And im only really started the diet for a full week next to it. Im down 4 lbs. I started at 241 now 237.

Let’s say I started August 7th. 7 is a big number for me. It’s what I wore in sports for high school. Let’s say I’m only about 9 days in.

Because Elora is so easy to take and doesn’t hurt me. I’m gonna say let’s shoot for 2 months. October 2nd would make it an 8 week cycle. October 9th a 9 week.

That range seems right for Elora as the main player with help from Reta is how I’m seeing it.

PS I’m really so fucked up still neurologically but I’ve gotten legit morning erections for a full week straight now. Where I wake up and I really can’t pee in a toilet until I control it or I just pee in shower lol.

Everything I’m saying is basically

Cu without thyroid is pro insulin anti potassium .

The Gbold consensus and I think many see it this way::: Thyroid pressuring potassium magnesium chloride essentially makes thyroid something you want to push last. Focus on fixing electrolytes in cell before pushing thyroid is that mindset. So focus on nad and methylation etc to put chloride in the cell.

I get it. That shit does need to happen.

But it’s completely neglecting the fact that cu2 is the insulin raising mineral. Legit. Strongly. Cu1 isn’t.

Thyroid is the key for cu2 to cu1.

Cu1 and nad convert sah to homocysteine. It is sah that was very high for me in 2023 the only methylation panel I’ve ever done. Supposedly many if not most with chronic illness have high sah.

I think this is why b5 helps so many. It just keeps tyrosine afloat with the bh4 cycle thriving and thyroid runs assuming iodine is in the body.

For me…. All those years. Of ups and downs. Thyroid was running enough. Until it wasn’t.

Were the good things I was doing eventually depleting iodine? Or was iodine depleted literally in 2011/2012 when my problems started originally?

What a life.
