The relationship between Vitamin A, Copper, Ceruloplasmin and Thyroid
Quote from PJ on May 10, 2023, 5:27 pmAs far as the de-aging goes, isn't that what retinol serum and creams are advertised for?
The anti aging effects haven’t come from the higher Vit A consumption, I’ve been getting those from just doing low PUFA and high sugar and reducing iron intake, some protein restriction too.
Wtf…
This takes the cake.
Buddy you aren’t detoxing any vitamin A…

how big is one tube? Why do you eat so much dairy? 🙂 I will start drinking some goat milk again. If it is ok with me.. I think goat milk is much better than cows milk and apart from vit A it is really good food.. I would like to drink like 500ml a day at least. That would give me good dose of bioavailable calcium that I need I think..
1 tub is 462ml, I’m finding it best for gut motility. Fast digesting , satiating, has a good amount of sugar and not too much fat. But it is a high quality Italian ice cream brand not some cheap stuff. So it’s an expensive habit I might have to give up.
The milk I’m not really having as much at the moment, I prefer yogurt instead. The yogurt is from a European brand so it seems to be higher quality. And also the yogurt seems to have something I need whether it’s probiotics I’m not sure. I know ray peat was against yogurt but I think that’s maybe because he couldn’t find any good ones. For example some yogurts contain Streptococcus as an added strain of bacteria and I don’t think that is good.
Goats milk or yogurt is good I was having that in Costa Rica and preferred it to cows milk however I can’t get that here in London.
@alexm do you take some supps? I am thinking if I should try again Thorne vit K2 drops. If it helps my transparent teeth in doses like 15mg a day with the goat milk. I was taking it before, but that was during my vit A toxicity days when I was eating shit loads of vit A and I was also taking retinol palmitate heh.. Now after 4 years of low vit A diet maybe I would feel that effect from mk4 much more..
@jiri Yeah I take b1, b2, Niacinamide, sometimes small dose of Thorne basic b complex, Monolaurin, sometimes zinc, molybdenum,selenium, methylene blue microdose, glycine, MCP (Pectasol) but much less now compared to before, Kirkman Epsom cream or mag malate powder mag theronate, sometimes probiotics either CP-1 or Sporebiotic, GB-3 (ox bile, black radish and pancreatin - good for moving bile), geo silica, recently started TEI sups so Parapack, adrenal complex, ZMC, vitamin E plus with selenium. The thing is the TEI sups detox the body like crazy and I’m unable to do enemas at the moment for last 2.5 months because of my living situation so I’m not taking the TEI sups that often as I think you need to do them with enemas and sauna. The first time I took the TEI I had tons of yellow mucus biolfilm looking stuff in my stool and I was quite ill, it was definitely exposing and addressing some chronic infection my body had never dealt with.
I Drink Vichy Catalan water for lithium.

I was taking Thorne phosphatidylcholine before and in Costa Rica but since arriving back home I don’t seem to need it anymore, EGCG I take occasionally small dose.
I have never tried a vitamin K supplement on its before so I ordered one in a iherb order a couple of weeks ago.
Like methylene blue is, vitamin K2 is also a Quinone so it can oxidize NADH back to NAD which is a good thing.

but how.. By balancing minerals? Fasting seems as bad idea, because it slows down metabolism and detox a lot and that will make things only worse.. I would take anything to detox all the bugs from my body no matter how bad I would feel if it helps.. Now I am just doing near infrared sauna to increase body temperature.. Here and there I have some pain in my molar tooth. Maybe there is some mild chronic infection
@jiri Yeah I think balancing minerals properly (Eg with TEI recs) is key for doing that as it powers up the body to fight the pathogens itself.
I think daily coffee enemas are really good for flushing out yeast, pathogens, and cleansing the colon. Liver flushes also good for the same thing. Also just improving liver function and bile will mean the body will be stronger to deal with any pathogens itself in the first place.
Mega IGG 2000, Monolaurin, GB-3 I also find helpful
They are expensive but tests like GI 360 and oat tests can also be helpful to show what specific pathogens/bad microbes you’re dealing with.
For example GI 360 a few years ago for me showed I had salmonella, Overgrowth of R Gnavus species which is highly linked to lupus and autoimmune diseases the species also is related to Clostridia, low secretory IGA which means my gut mucosal barrier is compromised.
There is also a potato starch, salt, iodine flush method for disinfecting the colon I haven’t tried that.
If your diet is red meat or iron heavy then maybe you want to reduce that if you suspect pathogens as iron feeds them.
A high CFU probiotic like CP-1 can also be helpful.

Quote from Jiří on May 11, 2023, 8:53 am@alexm bro I haven o idea what Mega IGG 2000, Monolaurin, GB-3, GI 360 even means. 🙂 Btw I would like to do new har test. I was doing hair tests in ARL before. Do you think TEI is better lab? How I can do the hair test in TEI. Do I have to be under some practitioner?
@jiri Monolaurin is Lauric acid and is a potent antiviral, anti fungal, it’s good for cellular infections. People refer to it as the natural ivermectin.
GB-3 is an ARL supplement for digestion and the gallbladder, it contains ox bile, black radish (copper antagonist and antibacterial), pancreatin .
Mega IGG 2000 is an immunoglobulin supplement that rebuilds the mucosal barrier of the gut it also helps detox pathogens too. It contains transferrin as well.
I don’t think there’s much difference between the ARL and TEI tests themselves but people say the TEI supplement range works much better than the ARL supplements/programme.
https://www.mineralstate.co.uk I just order the TEI test myself through this website.
