Eggs as part of Vitamin A reduction
Quote from Andrew B on November 6, 2022, 1:51 amIt's quite funny and ironic that Dr S is now discussing ejaculate. He did it in his recent Livestream. He has so little understanding of the benefits of choline. Lecithin is a key ingredient in semen. Choline helps acetylcholine which helps parasympathetic activity. A good ejaculation only comes from an erect penis which very much relies on choline in the complex switching from sympathetic to parasympathetic. His answer to this complexity seems to be to take zinc. And that ejaculate uses up a lot of zinc. Real understanding takes a lot of work. We can't all be experts without doing the hard work. No puns intended 🙂
This study might help explain what I'm getting at. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1351051/

Quote from Jenny on November 6, 2022, 2:06 amI’m no longer a fan of GS. He was incredibly rude to me after I’d helped him for over 2 years. When I say helped him I’d presented ideas (like glyphosate messing with vA) and corrected his scientific inaccuracies. I was around when he fell out with Annika and her partner T... (can’t remember his name but it began with a T). She’d been helping him and T had been doing computer work for free. I gave GS the benefit of the doubt then but I should have seen the red flags. Calling her mentally unstable is completely unacceptable. I’ve seen all the red flags now and have completely disassociated myself from his work.  I think he has gone very wrong for many reasons. The inability to see the importance of Andrew Baird’s choline work was the last straw for me. This showed his ego is more important than science. He just doesn’t care about people, has no empathy, which should be the biggest red flag of all.Â
However, having said all this, I came to vA toxicity through his work and I think it’s golden knowledge. I am grateful for that. I also agree with his bile in the blood theory - well toxins in the blood. The system works beautifully until it gets leaky. I believe that leakiness is THE major issue. Leaky liver (cholestasis), bile reflux leading to leaky oesophagus and leaky gut. Then leaky brain (blood brain barrier) once toxicity in blood. All these things allow toxicity to get to where it shouldn’t be. Covid infection increases leakiness. There are three variables for bile toxicity: quality (what is in it - endogenous/exogenous toxicity), quantity (how much) and location (does in stay in liver/gut/enterohepatic circulation system or leak out into systemic blood). I had a seizure. It focused my research. Really toxic bile (I have a list of top toxicity suspects) leaking out of system into blood and up to brain. Messed up glutamate-GABA balance. That is my current working theory. ‘Agitators’ (GS word) put more bile in blood. His list seems to be true from my experience, however, chronic stress stops bile flow (Chris Shade) but extreme stress probably causes a release.Â

Quote from Liz on November 6, 2022, 5:27 amRe: carnivore can be helpful for some. I have a friend of a friend who ate I think It was red meat and cashew nuts only for 6 or so months, with emphasis on the meat. Not carnivore, but not far from it. It made his psoriasis completely dissapear. He is back on a normal diet again, and has been for a few years. Psoriasis has not returned.

Quote from Liz on November 6, 2022, 6:31 am@jiriI couldn't say. Probably, most are deficient today. Probably not the only factor though. Either way, interesting. The guy is someone who does not care about foods at all. He just eats. He did the diet to lose weight and lost weitht plus psoriasis. Quite a bargain 😅
@jessica2 I think one of the pros for this guy was that he did not put his diet in the center of his life, over analyzing every little symptom. He just ate end went on with his life. When he was satisfied with his weight, he went back to eating normally again. And realized his skin issues were gone.

Quote from Andrew B on November 6, 2022, 6:36 amCashews are good for choline too. They are also high in B5, magnesium and Vitamin K. Beef hearts are very high for choline and other nutrients as well. As long as you dont eat the liver. Good absorption of magnesium might have resolved his psoriasis. I always reckoned it was taurine and magnesium chloride baths that resolved my psoriasis.

Quote from Andrew B on November 12, 2022, 8:56 amIf the choline is shoving the vitamin A into the liver then how did these people heal on 7,000-10,000 IUs of Vit A at least per day ? 4 page PDF click on Elsevier link.Â

Quote from zerocool on November 12, 2022, 5:19 pmI would think that just taking a sunflower lecithin supplement would be safer? Is there a reason one couldn't just do that...a lot of people have problems with eggs. I think 2 pills of sunflower lecithin is like 360 mg of choline...then on top of eating beef...really should be more than ok. The RDA for choline sounds high to me?

Quote from Andrew B on November 13, 2022, 1:56 amSphingomyelin (and other phospholipids) is high in eggs, selenium, B5 and protein there too. Sphingomyelin protects the body from the toxicity of the bile salts. The eggs are more likely to help you heal your body and they were what I used in my 6 month experiment. I'd try eggs first and then or if people have problems go to phosphatidylcholine or lecithin. It seems to me with long term gluten intolerance many need more choline because they are low at the start and/or the detox uses up more choline in repairing cell membranes. My number was 900 mgs of choline. The science completely supports choline low leading to liver disease and replenishing choline recovers you from liver disease.

Quote from Andrew B on November 17, 2022, 7:00 amEgg phospholipids and cardiovascular health. Conclusion: Egg PL are important contributors to the overall dietary PL intake in the Western diet. Based on pre-clinical studies, egg PC and SM appear to regulate lipid absorption, hepatic lipid metabolism, and inflammation. In clinical studies, egg PL intake is associated with beneficial changes in serum biomarkers related to HDL function. However, the recent evidence linking acute ingestion of eggs with postprandial increases in plasma TMAO warrants concern. More research needs to be done to examine TMAO responses to chronic egg intake and in different populations, such as diabetics. It will be critical determine if the perceived benefits of egg PL intake on CVD risk markers outweigh the risk of potential TMAO formation. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4425170/
