Thymus uses CoA and iodine to raise LH essentially is where I’m getting.

Iodine was keeping me going itself by doing so. But using up CoA.

Hence maybe that’s why b5 died last year in oats?

Maybe it’s CoA/ iodine. I’m stopping basically everything besides vitamins and minerals and I don’t call iodine a mineral right now I call it a hormone. So no iodine next to this vit and mineral plan.

Been 72 hours since last dose of epi andro and 90 or so since last testo.

The good thing is my system is clearly turned on hard still. Using the thymus supplement and lots of calcium now choline (b5/Epiandro use choline). Using ip6. Lithium zinc lots of what I’ve been using. Methyl B12 sometimes a b complex.

What I saw the other day in oligoscan that’s exciting is body is using both E and A from the epi andro/ test. I would really like to run this through Epiandro. 3 days on 4 days off.

Today is the morning of my 3rd full day off. I would like tomorrow to be that 4th day off then resume with just epi andro on Tuesday.

I’m really fucked up haven’t worked for over a week. But I do feel my body making co2 and that has to happen. E and A usage (didn’t happen ALL winter and spring) have to happen. And they were being used the other day.

Co2 back up in bloods from the epi andro cycling. Back on that for 3 days will do 4 off. I got a pimple actually lol. But alkaline phosphatase low.

My head is twisted still really twisted.

Everything is shaping up to similar approach to summer 2023 where b5 was first step followed by biotin b12 b2 zinc .

I think Epiandro cycles and maybe b5 choline are needed to keep CoA/ bh4 up. Maybe some beta alanine. And as this occurs the other other B vitamins and minerals really work specifically zinc. Epiandro basically acts as b5.

Need to get get keto involved to help electrolyte retention. It did help the other day. Not daily keto but cycles.

It’s just so horrible that it’s been about 21 months since I’ve been on any type of a consistent plan and when I was… I wasn’t well. I was healing. But not well.

Im having a hard time seeing it possible for me to get better even as I feel system turning on etc. it just seems like a horrible situation I let get out of hand too quickly.

I think it’s realistic to believe that biotin can cause cadmium issues. Cuz nitrogen opposes carbon. Carbon (cysteine) is your anti cadmium.

I’m working hard on producing carbon (cysteine) through b5. Need to take biotin dosage very seriously. Honestly hope it can just be part of a daily b complex something like that. 300mcg was too much to start with.

I think iodine biotin are two nutrients that can really hurt you but really push you ahead as well. Have to be careful with both.

Are they hurting tyrosine? That’s what I’m starting to think for iodine for sure. Is biotin causing tyrosine issues? That’s the question.

i think fasting and keto burn A and E which is a good thing that has to happen but it can be excessive and this likely happened with me quite a bit in late 2010s.

I used testo on day 3 of my Epiandro cycle and it was horrible . Combined with one day of keto it was really really bad.

No more testo. At all.

Focusing on the high ALT in bloodwork for the last 3 years it’s been high since right around now in 2022. The first I saw it go high was march 2022 after PC IVs while in psyche ward.

A lot happened that winter. B2 zinc calcium copper. Some binders like mcp alginate. Some ozone. PC IVs.

And after all that.. ALT in bloodwork went high and stayed there.

I worked on it at times like in June 2022 I had liver pain and my enzymes went crazy high . This is when I started relapsing with Cfs again as I was in remission for a couple months prior.

I’m starting to think I wanna try to lower ALT and it starts with healing liver. And I’m fat wayyy overweight for where I should be.

Considering bringing it back. The juice fast. Something like 40 days on juices pull a Cdsnuts where I drink plenty of juices 60-100oz daily.

Lose all this weight. Forget the biochemistry. Heal the liver at its core. Get electrolytes and sugars in the body let it run on that

It’s the Cahill cycle that ALT affects. I believe high ALT drains pyruvate and raises glutamate.

I’m gonna need a week or two to prepare and get stronger. Maybe a month. But I am starting to think just a legit long juice cleanse is what im considering
.
I like the prohormone Epiandrosterone and might just use it the full way through

Sounds like one of your best ideas ngl. Forgetting biochem and just doing that, I believe could rebalance a lot.

Body is smarter than we give it credit. If you stop interfering with biochem approaches, and just give it raw materials, electrolytes, sugar, clean the liver I believe there is a possibility a lot can rebalance itself.

Wish you best of luck with this approach.

I appreciate it man.

Unfortunately I highly doubt I can tolerate a long juice fast right now.

That may change. I’m still really messed up from the crash this past weekend form testo+ keto. But just having a juice for breakfast this morning….. didn’t go too well. Needed a big protein meal for lunch.

That said…. I’m considering doing an all out epi paleo diet with 50 oz of juices daily similar to 2017 when I recovered. I mean im
Not considering it. I’m gonna do it or a long juice fast. It has to happen. The liver has to heal.

I’m going to eat fish, fruits/veggies, eggs, and 50 oz of juices daily. Nothing else. Take a methylated b vitamin. A Few minerals. Cycle Epiandrosterone. Do coffee enemas and liver flushes.

I see my liver enzymes elevate for the very first time in February 2022. Ozone/ copper that winter must have caused it. As my enzymes were fine in November of 2021.

ALT elevation moves pyruvate to glutamate last thing we want.

I think as ALT elevates my body can’t use vitamin E or something in line with that.

This should’ve been my focus a really long time ago. I’m very upset with myself.

I am just so fucked up I can’t believe it.

I did a coffee enema and took a b complex yesterday. Feel like I’m dying today worst death ever complete potassium depletion.

I'd stop all supps tbh. B Complex especially active Bs can fuck you up if you are low on something it uses up stuff. Esp. if it's not hexheimer type shit then best to back off from all supps. Might push metabolism too hard and when you are low on something it fucks you up. That's why that electrolyte protocol was good it gives everything at the same time to raise metabolim. But even that protocol I find harsh on the body long term and it's not "detox" in that case. It works very well for very slow metabolism/oxidizers but after you fix metabolism these protocols are too much,.

Yea I think it’s right call.

I’m bad. Off basically everything. Took Carnitine today thinking it’s the one thing I haven’t been taking. Didn’t notice anything.

It’s time to just eat a little bit for 2-3 days and then scan. Take it from there.

Feels like I have zero dopamine. Like none. B12 can do that.

Im scared. This sucks. But im just thinking of times when I lived through diet. Fall 2020 was really the last time. It wasn’t even living through diet although I juiced. I ate what I wanted a lot. But I fasted on juices. I exercised. I golfed.

I wasn’t healthy. And I didn’t get that healthy. But I definitely reversed a PFS /parkinsons / dementia like illness. A severe sugar metabolism issue. Copper came up in hair. Mercury dropped. Classic healing on htma pattern.

I did all that WITH tons of Cyanobacteria in my belly. Which is crazy.

Yes I did that. And my recovery in 2017 was recovery in its purest form. 6 months of non stop work then hello ladies ;)))))))). (It was actually only 3 full months until I got hold of a nipple.)

The tit. I guess that’s all we’re here for. I realize i may never be well but I could be ok enough to go and get that nipple.

But I really did get that bad this time. 18 months of COMPLETE hell now. It was 12 full months of real badness prior to that.

The prior two years I I was up and down. But end of day too far down and too lost to put it all together by myself.

It took me 2.5 years to put this all together. No 3. Cuz it was summer 2022 when I started crashing again and said I’m going to do this maturely as possible.

Amino acids every 3-4 months come first. Htma comes second . Hormones cholesterol iron all matter tons.

CMP where we see co2 chloride ALT AST ALP.

Bloodwork MATTERS,

I did a lot right but I just couldn’t put it together. “You have a methylation problem but you’re also a fat fuck.” Should’ve been what I told myself 3-4 years ago. “Go fucking all 2017 epi paleo fish eggs and veggies fruits juices. Fast when you can here or there on juices or even water for a day.”

I didn’t do it. I couldn’t out my fucking head on it’s shoulders.

I’m very sick now. If there’s a will there’s a way. I got my black all American dog with me. A solid interesting job I can work as long as im healthy enough and can waste my time there as I heal.

But I don’t know if I’m gonna heal. Failure is real. It happens . Sometimes you fail and you can’t come back from that failure. It’s truth. There is that in this world. You can’t deny it.

But I’m 36. Maybe it takes 3 years of liver first with bh4 cycle for active b6/b12. approach. And then I can exercise again? Like maybe I just need serious TIME to heal as it got that bad. But it’s still doable. Like maybe I did sink that low but it’s still possible to come out of this.

Or maybe in 6-12 months I’m on a bike. And playing golf shortly after.

Or maybe I’m dying

I’m gonna live for my dog and making money right now. Next to my health. My health has to be my #1. Every fucking meal matters.

I didn’t get it. I was eating man. I just thought my body needed meat cuz that’s how I’d get better in the last few years heavy meat diet.

But I’m taking away from the thing that cured me when I healed in years past. The liver. It’s a fucking organ.

Liver flushes don’t fix a liver that is eating tons of meat. It just doesn’t.

System was completely shut off yesterday. So obviously I wrote a billion words ^^^^..

I was dying and still might be. Testosterone 5mg + keto 5 days ago was worst crash I’ve ever had.

Heavily weighing in on all things liver to fix Cahill cycle lower ALT raise pyruvate.

Got prohormones in last night::: Epiandro was weak. 4 andro a little bit stronger. Did coffee enema this morning.

Considering ALA and dhea .

I scanned and iodine was raising usually means bh4 issue. I 100% remember ALA help me use iodine last fall.

I’m thinking I’m just not moving my E to ALA enough and ALA is soooo important.

And I might just have to feed the ALA to get iodine usage/ bh4 working.

Yea a lot is telling me ALA. It is one thing I responded to strongly last fall. I used it pretty religiously.

Iodine was dropping all fall. While taking some. That’s a sign of bh4 and tyrosine working.

Obviously I did a lot more than ALA. I felt dhea was needed with ALA.

ALA= CoA= thyroid= b2 to fmn= active b6

Which means glutathione recycling (ALA) = activitity of b6.

Now selenium utilization for E to coq10 to ALA is needed . And it’s what we should be shooting for to correct.

But we can substitute there. We can give ALA, NAC.

Maybe you already have lower cortisol. When I crashed from finasteride/PFS I felt very slow metabolism and I took steroids too and they made me worse. Insane fatigue.

ALA worked for me for a while I think I had mercury problems. But then once I got at a stage where ALA no longer helped and felt shittier from it (Not hexheimer). Very similar to other stuff I did in the past. There's a point I feel like the body is saturated or it doesn't have that particular problem anymore.

I also notice that if you had problems since a young age it's never 1 problem - it probably started with 1 problem but this imbalance caused more than 1 problems later on.

Right this is why I always lose interest in ALA.

Reality is it’s needed to make b5/CoA work. Which is really step one to everything.

I saw on here recently gbold talking about a guy who had cfs for 10-15 years long timer then recovered with Cutler (ALA) approach.

I highly doubt the cutler recoveries are from just handling mercury. I think ALA is a huge component to pyruvate dehydrogenase which is essentially the Krebs cycle at its core.

I got bile and darker stools today. I’m on 3rd day of new diet. No meat. Fruits veggies protein drinks fish no dairy besides butter.

I think step one is getting stronger with this diet . And all things liver with it.

I fasted for about 18 hours on nothing till my first meal today. The fasts are going to be needed to keep insulin sensitive with this type of diet.

Everything comes back to ALA system and cysteine metabolism .

This turns on hif1. Which is why I’m having such a hard time with fasting. It turns hif1 on hard . It uses glucose.

I’m pretty much in a fasted state again. I may have had a muscle milk last night somewhat late but it was low or no sugar.

The fasted states and estrogen (trt) seem to be clear things that raise hif1 which really takes down active b6 and vitamin A metabolism.

But we need hif1 for E metabolism which is needed prior to A metabolism . This is why this stuff is so intricate.

My take is if I can handle juices. With sugar in them. Say like 96 oz a day. Just fast on these at times to help liver and weight loss. Cuz I need to get my fatty liver with ALT at 55-65 recently. The range is like 15 to 45. We gotta get that down so body retains pyruvate and makes less glutamate.

So right now my next steps are considering juice fasting and liver flushing….

Thinking with liver flush… EAT your carbs day of the flush. And during flush, eat 3 skinned apples an hour before flush in midst of it all that night as I used to do from recommendation years ago.

Ray Peat ideas and more so Kathleen Stewart is making so much sense right now.

I think estrogen really burns through b5 and zinc.

I really don’t know my next steps supplementally. I think today or tomorrow is a good time to stop everything. And get my testing done this week I have bunch of labs to do.
