Watch some of this nigga's videos for TRT info.

He has some great info and supposedly coaches a lot of PSSD/PFS types. He has PTSD.
Some in PSSD and similar community's thinks he's a liar but I genuinely think he means well and has a lot of good info. Maybe he has improved a lot in his presenting of ideas.

He needs to change that vest lmao, it's making him look feminine

Classic bodybuilder stringer shirt. Yeah a lot of huge guys wear that and really built guys. I preferred a nice comfy T-shirt.
Or a shirt under a hoody, or some of my fav shirts.. that have rotated out of work/street rotation.
It is a stupid shirt that he is wearing but it is part of the bodybuilding culture.

I save my nice clothes for outside the gym. Some nice classic Nike trackpants (harder to get these days, but I'll find em, with the zippable pockets).
A nice Nike tshirt or some old Vnecks that are ripped up a bit.

Street wear vnecks with chinos, or track pants and a nice T, too, and designer shades.
I'm not dressing my favorite styles because my clothes are all strewn about, I need to fold them. And fit in things better. I will keep up carnivore... 3-4 days I go down a fair bit.
No mess ups, I will be 15lbs down soon... do it consecutive like 4-5 weeks, I may have no fat again. Add more workouts, NA/K +, or TEI/ supps... I will be doing a lot better in 6mo I hope.
I think symptoms/ disease / syndrome doesn't matter, it does make you better. Water fasting helps so many conditions...

A strict diet does too. So does Mineral Balancing. Surely with less fat
and a clean diet, there's less to detox and chelate. So the effects of rebalancing/replacing... whatever it is that TEI does, should be better.

I have read here, it is like replacing, it isn't like replacing, it doesn't balance you, it isn't about making you feel good.
I have also read elsewhere it forces you to detox heavy metals but then does something else.. I imagine it is rebalancing. IDK.

Yeah think it would look fine if he was bigger.

I took the TEI recs these last two days, first day had TEI sups and the body bio electrolytes before workout but they made me feel off balance and weak and some gallbladder discomfort so I didn't feel going to do my workout anymore but then i craved like 2 spoons of yogurt and it fixed how i was feeling so I did the workout, but after the workout I didn't feel like eating meat, carbs, fruit or veg I just felt like eating a whole bag of almonds which was weird because never have that many at all, then felt like a lot of whey protein with glycine, but earlier that day before the workout I had been eating meat, veg, carbs.

Second day I have a flat white coffee, go to the gym and do chest workout, come back eat some chicken with virgin olive oil, lots of cooked cabbage, then take the TEI recs. Then when I went out to do some grocery shopping and I was getting female attention like crazy from nearly every girl I passed. And it was from taking the TEI recs but because they had raised oxidation and glutamate levels too high it made me autistic and anxious so I couldn't even give proper eye contact to any of these girls lol, so I avoided it and didn't give them attention but could clearly see them checking me out in my periphery. Anyway I get back home and take half a pill of sym pack (fast oxidation pack from TEI) and it really helped with the brain symptoms I was feeling. But I am gonna order the nerve calm rna soon because I think that would solve the issue better maybe, also I might try lipo gluthatione like gbold suggested.

Basically my brain gets affected from TEI whether that means I have metals there or whether its just happens to be the area that gets affected from TEI I dunno.

Flat white nice. Female attn, nice!

Craving different foods... I am not sure but changing chemistry, probably does that. Maybe you felt more like experimenting.

Hopefully, when I'm on it, deep healing/ autism reaction are on my own, and not when I am living in a condo/apartment again and around people that are down. If I can get all the
autism stuff out in 6 weeks or 4 weeks, that would be nice. I am so autistic I didn't even realize it.. I mean I kind of did, but I didn't know what to do about it.

Can you go out on nights without the TEI? I'm like that to people I even know. So hoping it works on autism within 6mo-1 year for me.
Or maybe just ask out girls a couple days a week, otherwise later in the cycle?

Any mood, sleep improvements? sensitivities/ asthma/ allergies, etc? Body composition changes? Lifting harder or easier?

Keep it up bro. I am guessing any number of weird things can happen to us, on mineral balancing.
There is "hidden copper toxicity", and other things. I am not sure / nor saying, if that is what's going on. I will look at your hairtest again.

Did you get a practitioner?

So taking it daily would be too much? I took it daily in the past, and I will do carnivore and strength train enough to make that possible again, because I ain't got time to waste.

Take whatever dose you're comfortable with tho. I may need to cut it down too, and maybe later cycles get harder sometimes (I hope not). It does sound difficult but not too too bad.
No pain no gain, like so much in life, especially healing sometimes.

Yeah off TEI I am functioning well and don't have the autism, it's when I take TEI it makes me autistic. But TEI does get me a lot more female attention when I take it compared to not taking it. Also I did have actual autism for most my life but it was something I pretty much fixed a few years ago.

I would say TEI makes me motivated and gives me more energy to do stuff but tbh coffee does that as well lol but yeah I know TEI slowly moves me forward in the right direction, I could feel that from when I first started taking it last year in july.

I think my main issue is some kind of infection that is blocking TEI from working as it should, like I do see green stuff on my tongue a lot, (green=aspergillus mold) (white = candida). I know its body conditions that allow these pathogens to grow so probably do still have some copper toxicity (as fungi steal and hold onto your copper). Fungi produce acetalaldhyde which can tie up your ALDH enzyme which you need to process Vit A so that could be impairing the parapack too.

In the past I have tried d ribose (helps with ATP) and the parapack worked completely differently (like much much better than normal). But this d ribose wasn't effective long term. Fungi in body also cause low phosphorous/atp levels.

Yeah like today I don't feel like taking TEI after the last two days, I also have a sore throat now too today. Maybe when I eat some food later I will feel like taking it because I do get cravings to take the TEI sups sometimes after I eat animal protein.

Haven't got a practitioner not sure if they would help that much or not, maybe I should get one though.

How did you fix it bro? I was managing ADHD well, pretty well I'd say 88-90% and even more like 95-97% in 2018-2022. But I stopped taking meds for a time (huge mistake).
Helped my anxiety and ADHD a lot... and I am sure Autism in many ways, making me more confident cuz I was getting things done and reaching potential (more of it at least, a lot of it at times).

It does make parts of Autism worse, I find. Zoning in/ hyperfocus. Scary like focus. Definitely helped me workout like hell and make great gains and make androgen receptors sensitive again. Helped me make a plan and stick to it, to heal PFS. And will help me stick to healing any remaining androgen issue and Autism, I believe.

I hope I don't screw myself over, and end up never helping autism (Or whatever I have, yours sounds like that but maybe mine is more severe, at least in adulthood). As a kid, I had great grades and played video games... people didn't notice/ know. I quit games mostly at 24-25. Only some at 27 and some in healing PFS, near the end of 2018. As a kid? Addict... that and food.

I feel I got rid of anxiety and depression for much of the last 16-20 yrs, but now I feel like Autism is the source of a lot of that. That and Trauma.

Did they diagnose you as a kid? Any interventions useful? Did you do that Yasko Protocol?

Did they diagnose you as a kid? Any interventions useful? Did you do that Yasko Protocol?

Yeah I did the Yasko protocol but I was so toxic back then, there were parts of her protocol that got me to a state where I didn't really have the autism anymore but there were parts of her protocol that I couldn't tolerate at all and had awful reactions to eg potassium phosphate and anything that had even tiny doses of lithium orotate in like messed me up like crazy for weeks, but this only happened because of how toxic I was and my system wasn't turned on properly.

Anyway after that I did daily coffee enemas for 6 months and I would say that was probably one of most important things I did for autism, it really got rid of a lot of background inflammation/oxidative stress that I always had probably from some metals or pathogens. Also did low vit A diet while doing the enemas. I was taking minerals and binders after the enemas as my body asked for them. After doing the coffee enemas for those 6 months I could now tolerate b vits and any minerals with no issues and they would feel like they're working properly, when before some of them would cause me issues and I couldn't tolerate them.

My diet is all organic, avoiding glyphosate will help autism as glyphosate causes glutamate issues/ excitotoxicty and also replaces glycine in the body

Glyphosate, pathways to modern diseases II: Celiac sprue and gluten intolerance - Stephanie Sneff is saying that it is glyphosate causing Celiac disease and gluten intolerance instead of the gluten itself and I agree with her.

Eating organic cooked veg really did help me for potassium which I needed and wasn't getting from other foods I ate.

I used to have POIS for years too, this would give me some kind of severe autism + brain fog and speech issues like a zombie for weeks after ejaculation and it was a really horrible experience, it's actually a miracle I don't have that condition anymore because it felt like a curse. Interesting that Gbold had POIS too.

Nah I wasn't diagnosed as a kid or ever, medical records said had difficulty with speech at a few years old, my uncle didn't say his first word till 4. Gastroentolgist I saw 5 years ago agreed I had autism.
My mum and uncle clearly have aspergers from how they act. Growing up in school was clear I was a bit different socially to other kids.

To fix autism I would say first address the glutamate gaba imbalance (excitotoxicty issues) then it is just about focusing on detox : removing pathogens + heavy metals + restoring minerals + making sure methylation is working + making sure aminos are balanced.

You can do stuff to lower oxidation too that will help autism so like low PUFA, higher fat, higher sugar, low vit A but these are just patches no long term solution

I do still have the hyperfocus, maybe certain topics I do get a bit obsessed about, but socially I don't really have autism anymore unless I take TEI lol

 

[MNK99]

Maybe... I can take Lithium orotate and do TEI... I think pathogens etc were mostly gone... maybe they aren't as good now.

I hope TEI can fix methylation, minerals, and remove heavy metals. I think aminos will be better when on spinach+pink sea salt+ meat + rice (and other TEI accepted foods for SLOW 1).
Even if they don't want those... I mean I will incorporate other foods.

Hyperfocus helps me stay alive in trades and would help me graduate law, like it helped me graduate Economics. SO it what it is, and I like it... ADHD wise. Many women don't mind the ADHDness at all. It is playful but then serious. NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP WORKING, or shift tasks around different types of work is pretty bad though.

Without the good parts of ADHD, finding my best friends... and some hobbies... and like my work, and interests like Econ and Law.. and music.. would be less. TBH all of ADHD and autism,.. or even bipolar aren't bad or always bad. BUT for sure there are very troubling parts. Not sure if I'd be level 1, 2, 3 autism. On that scale maybe 1 or 2... you may be 1 (assuming 3 is the worst). I don't know though maybe yours is just as bad or worse, but you fixed a lot and that is good.

We have sort of a similar family history. Mom's brother was a cricket player, he became a doctor. FOR sure his wife is better at school. I always thought anxiety/ADHD maybe bipolar 2. But more like Aspergers/autism and ADHD perhaps. And yeah on dad's side some serious Aspergers/ autism. For fucks sakes.

I think minerals + carnivore + exercise + some sauna --> minerals + Helen's Electrolyte protocol diet / TEI diet + exercise + sauna should be good. And fasting.

I did way better with fasting than enema and juice feasting etc etc. I tried enema while still needing to fast, it didn't help. I am like 300x healthier but I was like 1000x healthier back in 2018 end--2022.
Sounds crazy to put up such a multiple but yeah. Thanks man.

Please let me know if you think I am doing myself a disservice, focusing on mineral balancing later to help autism and what not.

ALWAYS except maybe in crash and maybe in childhood, low PUFA. Recent half decade and more +++ (out of crash in 2017), near zero or zero PUFA> Higher fat done. LOW VIT A done.

Higher sugar, well more sugar/ carbs but timed around lifting. OF COURSE on current carnivore, yeah there's no sugar. I can have yogurt and stuff occasionally like say... every 2 weeks or every month.

But at the same time, if I can avoid it psychologically that is good.
I guess I have done worse, and so have you... so we are healing and facing some hurdles but in different ways we have had far worse health.

Keep it up man, you have the right attitude.

Also, yeah I mean Yasko's protocol looks pretty intense. There may be parts that almost anyone couldn't tolerate. Maybe someone with zero illness.. or an illness that makes them irresponsive to everything.

 

[MNK99]

"Anyway after that I did daily coffee enemas for 6 months" Some commitment bro. That is good. I can commit to lifting daily for a year, TEI... 4-5mo and then retest.

I only tried enema once or twice. IT was super healing for some ppl. Carnivore, chronic health community, post drug syndromes.

Yeah like I do take lithium orotate now sometimes but it doesn't really do anything for me now tbh.

Also did you try methylene blue before, microdoses of methylene blue with niacinamide did help the autism stuff too, because methylene blue bypasses steps in the electron transport chain and is a redox enabler, but now I don't think it's a good idea to take it anymore because if you had blocks at certain stages of the electron transport chain eg complex iv then that likely will have been because of metal toxicity. But I don't take it now because I don't think it's safe because of this.

WARNING! Your Detox System Is UNDER ATTACK! The War On Our Heroes of Detox: PGP and CYP3A4 this guy is saying methylene blue, ivermectin curcumin all are dangerous and shut off your detox because they inhibit this PGP protein which prevents toxins from getting into the cells, I dunno if he's right or not about them being so bad

Coffee enemas yeah I was kind of forced to do that many because my gallbladder was in a really bad shape and barely working

Also I like this dead sea magnesium spray that does help me, supposedly transdermal magnesium is 10x more bioavaible than oral magnesium supplements, the TEI Min-plex B doesn't really do anything for me compared to the magnesium spray. So if I eat sugar or a lot of carbs, have any stress, or eating a lot of beef(iron), or have coffee for all of those I find the magnesium spray helpful. Magnesium is an NDMA antagonist so it can help protect against high glutamate. Just don't get a mag spray which has magnesium from the zechstein reef which is most of them because these ones are toxic and contain barium, I also never felt good from these ones. But yeah maybe its a bad idea for me to take the mag spray at all if the goal is to raise sodium and potassium levels.

Lactobacillus bacteria helps make gaba, but also produces lactic acid so this would slow down metabolism, gbold advised against them and said you need to kill all the lactobacillus bacteria in order to go to a fast metabolism. It's true when I was doing ray peat diet and then mineral balancing after I do not feel like taking lactobacillus probiotics anymore. But all these bad strains of bacteria they deplete your good strains lactobacillus and Bifido bacteria which protect against the bad strains.

I do wonder if I got a fecal transplant from an alpha guy in good health how it would change me that would be interesting for sure

Digestion is definitely more often and better on even an ok diet. ON electrolyte protocol diet or a clean "bro" diet (I mean lots of fat, good carbs, lots of protein) and enzymes and HCL, b1, b12 or b50
(I will try b1,b2, b6 tho), and Mg... it is a lot better.

Eliminating coffee, giving carnivore more time, it may be better.

Down like 15lbs, which is good. 205/220. Looking fitter. I will be better at 185-190 and really really lean at below that, with lifting more. Helping depression/anxiety a bit.

Never tried methylene blue. Mg is an NDMA antagonist and I used it for 12-15 years. I am not now, while on strict carnivore (but some black coffee, ADHD medicine. Ev1 is different).
I am sure b vitamins, mg, enzymes would help digestion a lot. AND I am sure spinach/ carbs like rice , potatoes... and meat (so starch with meat or protein only) would help.

Making your gut biome awesome again will help you be alpha anyways @Fazed 22.

I don't think I could ever do the Ray Peat diet/ what some forum members do. I am sure I would gain hella fat and be depressed.
I think it is hella carbs and fruits. I prefer veggies (well I mean of course most fruits taste better). Fruits with whey post workout, and a tiny bit pre workout as BCAAs and fast acting carbs.

But in general I had a starch carb and meat... or veg and meat much of the last 17-19 years or so. At times I had no veggies as I was busy and didn't cook them too much.

I'lll use them in TEI. That or their TEI diet. Possibly carnivore.

I will keep extra b vitamins and Mg and enzymes around and add some on TEI if I need to. I know that I had great digestion before TEI and some problems on it, with so many capsules but then it was good. And then after it was perfect again. Fasting and rebuilding and later randro did a lot to help digestion. But a good diet is needed forever for me (and it changes sometimes).

Nah ray peat diet I don't think is good for anyone tbh bro, it will usually long term lead to long term issues, it's not natural to eat that much sugar. That's why the ray peat forum has now turned into the low vit A & low toxin lifestyle forum lol because they do not support the ray peat diet anymore.

Yeah I think the typical body builder diet of starch, protein and a bit of fat is solid for a lot of people.

You saying TEI slowed down your digestion? Because seems to do that for me I was having regular boewel movements when I was having a small break from TEI but the last 3 days I was on TEI my bowel movement became less frequent and I guess this might be from the vit a in parapack slowing down bile but i dunno.

 

[MNK99]

Ya sorry man I make little sense these days LOL my logs were minimized to 12 pages each and the last 6-9 pages of log two were just answering q's. that log is gone tho (hackstasis went down for a time).

I mean it is a long time ago, but I thought that taking minerals made me gain some watery weight/ slowed digestion down. BUt a mere 1-2 cycles, did help digestion for most of 2-2.5 years.
I think at times it was good, at times it was bad...
Maybe it was meal freq. Maybe I needed HCl enzymes more.

It felt like the good digestion I had March-Nov 2018 was getting a bit worse, but I mean I quit TEI and had great digestion mostly till 2021 -2022. Even eating bad food at times (lots of time passed since PFS crash and recovery efforts). I did take HCl and enzymes 4 or so years tho. Like Mg I took 12-14 yrs. HCl and enzymes were a post water fasting thing (I took em too early tho). BIogest.

Maybe on cycle it hurt digestion and after it helped but I think fasting --> veggie broth --> refeed with vegan --> refeed with some meat.. helped a ton too. And some androgens (randro/4andro).

Felt awake and waking pre sunlight and sleeping at 11pm or so after TEI. Which was key for eventual but late professional school and also trading. I think rite after randro/4andro or maybe after something else, I was basically awake 2-3 weeks. Or barely sleeping. But it was like not a huge deal. And then I was good ever since.

TEI digestion was probably good for the most part... but I wouldn't be surprised if it adds some fluid/ waist size.
maybe that's why I quit it, reports of that (after getting very strong and then leaning out a bit more).

Honestly I cannot remember ... I can see it helping but 23 capsules a day if anything has to hurt digestion. I was supposed to eat more meals and more carbs supposedly, when looking at lots of ppl's slow oxi recs.
SOME say keto tho, so who knows. SLOW oxi = slow fat metabolism, and I did very well with b vitamins in diet (meat spinach etc) and also supps, my own and then tei's.

I think honestly my experience with TEI was better than almost everyone's here, and most people's I hear/read. BUT* It also came after 20 days or so breuss, 10 days + juice attempted, and 30+ days water fasting, plus the rest... I think heavy lifting was done by Electrolyte protocol, fasting... to fix digestion.

Ray peat diet seems idiotic to me. Makes zero sense lean body mass/ bodyfat wise, and would feed bacteria, pathogens... and yeah I mean a lot get on it and get fat. Same with vegans. FROM standard american diet to a stricter diet, things improve. So yeah maybe TEI slowed digestion at first, but eventually it made it such that I could have iced coffee/milkshakes with oat milk, and even like takeout burgers (good ones tho) and have great digestion, tho I think fixing pfs (or nearly all of it) did a lot of heavy lifting to get there.

Digestion could use work now but all I eat is red meat and black coffee and an amp. Sometimes it is good, but maybe I left ketosis and had too many carb grams from black coffee, not sure. Won't worry about it.
2 or 3 cups instead of 1-2.

Honestly, I would keep doing it and expect results down the line. Like months after fasting I was way way better (better than now and better overall forever too).
I was mostly saying that my digestion now would be better with supplements but carnivore purists would mostly be against supplementing. At the same time there's less digestion anyways on carnivore (or water fasting). In refeeding, I cleansed, had good digestion or even way too much first day. got rid of toxins. but better less bad digestion and washroom usage than on juice feasing.

a week , 2 weeks later better... 4 weeks, 8 weeks later pretty good digestion and mental and neurological health all improved. months later better still, especially with eating more varied diet and cycling TMO herbs and then randro/4andro (herbs were after ru486 I think). I tried stuff pre fasting, nothing worked and I gave up. But I didn't after fasting.

Hi everyone, I'm taking this opportunity to try to make some reasoning thanks to the NAC that is giving me some moments of neurological remission to my severely damaged brain. I think you all agree that we can't actually make demonstrable (cause / effect) what we do with our experiments? I think we should really start from a basis that is the same for everyone but I'm also aware that in everyday life it would be impossible given that even a minimal stressor can create a chain of events that we are not even minimally able to interpret. How can we try to eliminate this "false-negative" as much as possible? In my case, for example, fasting would be very unlikely because even the slightest stressor almost always leads me to look for food as the axis is certainly under attack from an immune point of view. Have you ever heard of PNEI? psycho neuro endocrine immunological. Here we should start from every single aspect of this and then join the dots otherwise perhaps we are just following sensations and nothing actually applicable. I would very willingly start with liver washes and digestion before loading with proteins because if I don't digest them I will never have a normal recycling of glutathione. I agree with Helen when she says that bypassing the pathways with a final metabolite is never a good thing for example hormones... subjectivity and objectivity remain the pillar. Do you agree with me? On Discord a great job is done by Born free Life. Look at the whole picture and not the single piece, always.

Maybe minerals and then fasting for you @highserotonin90?

It is for certainly difficult to prove cause and effect with every experiment.. But seeing some people's logs after they tried major interventions can help. Like ORION's log after Breuss juice fasting 54 days, or mine after water fasting, or RWAC's after various TEI cycles. And many others. It is hard, wea re all different. Eliminating a false-negative seems difficult.

I kept drinking and eating nonsense pre water fasting. Only days into it and being able to think *18 days I could watch a show,.. maybe 10 days I could smirk a bit... before that I was drinking, eating random veggie/processed gluten containing food (poison for me, especially in that state. processed food I kept rare but some is ok but it wasn't for 6-12mo, maybe even 2 yrs mostly after I started to make major recovery efforts). I had some processed food tho, takeout/delivery sauces, and not sure what they cook certain meats in for instance.

But barely at all for 6months. I didn't chance gluten or random frozen food for a year, and the stuff I ate.. PUFA/ peanut butter, random indian veggie foods pakoras (I'd never eat this, unless in a hell state),.. at my parent's house. Never ate any nearly ever again, maybe 1-3x in 6 years. that was the extreme of bad foods though, and some other non great foods I did have (depending on who's definition we are going by). Like milk, iced coffees with milk, almond milk / oat milk, almond milk coffee creamer.. after working out hardcore and combining that with protein in 2020-2022 was good to catch up calories. I tend to fast a lot.

I couldn't fast 2-3mo ago much minus 2-3 days.. and I was eating gluten a bit but more cheese (even lactose free) and gluten free rice tortillas. That and butter. Like a lot of em.
Cheese sandwiches, something a child would eat basically. And yeah I was gaining weight lying down. NOW I fast by accident 24-26 even 36hrs just like a lot of 2019-2022. Not eating things that hurt me (and were killing me in a hellish neuro state, made it easier to fast). 3-4 days of fasting you want to keep going. Juice feasting 10-11 days maybe even 2 weeks... It was very very hard. Water was way better. FOR some dry fasting might be even better (I think only a couple days for me and I need water, although I am drinking it less on carnivore).

You can probably fast if you do carnivore for a while and I think that will start healing you... Like 4 weeks carnivore or 12 weeks or like 6mo ... fasting 10-20 days won't be that hard.
Like Mineral balancing (speaking from experience on all these), you will be tired in beginning any of them.. and by the time you're done you will be more wakeful. Day 20-25 fasting is easier than day 2-3 ... and fasting till you need to eat might be fine. It is ok to not be too too perfectionistic/idealist. LIke oh I need to fast 40 45 50 days so I can truly heal. 20 days, 18 days. 30 days is a hell of a lot better than 99.5-99.9% of ppl and can help u a ton.

If u gotta work your way up to it.. using some minerals specific to you (not sure how to determine that), some other chelator/detoxer like enemas or what not (useless to me pre water fasting. I couldn't use the washroom nor see properly nearly a year . 2017 after FINasteride, lamictal, some dexedrine, surgery drugs, pain killers, etc (mostly it was finasteride tho that caused the crash))... 3-4 mo later surely enemas way easier but I felt I didn't need em. At times it could have helped me in recent times maybe but I think enzymes, mg, b vitamins will help a lot.

I think 2-3days fasting in recent 1.5-2 yrs is hard at times but I breezed thru it for years after water fasting, electrolyte protocol, lifting hard, and most of CD's protocol, and TEi (tho I cut that one short).
It is easy now again, easier. Way easier after 2-3mo or 6mo of carnivore.

Take baby steps but big ones.

How did Gbold know so much about all this stuff? Did he have some qualifications in biology/biochem? Or was he just completely self taught since he got ill? He should have pursued a career in this field because he is seriously smart

My criticism about TEI/ARL is that they don't really show us any explanations about their work or theories and I think they should it would be helpful, not sure why they have to keep it such a secret, Gbold said TEIs model is based on 10000 dimensions

Helen: "yes, this is what TEI and ARL do for slow oxidizers, they chelate copper . Copper lowers vitamin D3 levels and causes calcium to get out of the cell.

Since calcium goes out of the cell= this lead to lower protein kinase.= which lead to lower ionized calcium and also lower MHC expression. since protein kinase upregulates MHC. and vitamin D increases protein kinase by simply increasing calcium. which then upregulate MHC



I think this mechanim is created to control the bacterial infection IMHO. I might not be right.



I mean you talk about upregulating the MHC, but it is ionized calcium which upregulates it , not vitamin D. This is why they use calcium chloride which increases Ionized form of calcium. And actually regular calcium or high calcium diet will decrease ionized calcium. vitamin D increases calcium and phoshorus, thus if you give vitamin D with high phosphorus diet but low calcium diet, you will increase ionized calcium.

If you give vitamin D with high calcium diet, you will decrease ionized calcium.

this is why you talk about aspirin, If you give aspirin with calcium. You will increase ionized calcium, since it is similar to calcium chloride.



If you just give simple calcium , this will decrease ionized calcium.



IMO , this is how vitamin D works. vitamin D without calcium increases phosphorus, which increases ionized calcium, Ionized calcium increases MHC.



Phorphorus is needed to activate all vitamin Bs. This is why if there is a big pressure on glutathione enzymes, you run low on phosphorus and bs. And phosphorus is low on the hairtest since it is being used and calcium is high.



TEI just give phosphorus to slow oxidizers and B vitamins, with regular not high doses of vitamin D. This way you get active Bs, like B1 and B2 etc. and active b6.



Without this you cant take zinc. Since zinc will put pressure on already low vitamin B2 and phosphorus, since zinc turns vitamin B6 into an active form, and this makes niacin .turning of vitamin b6 into it its active form requires, b2 phosphorus magnesium and zinc. So to have NADPH you need zinc. and without NADPH you cant recycle glutathione.



Zinc alone will lower B2 levels and will cause lower ionized calcium. So slow oxidizers if they take zinc alone often see their calcium levels GO UP. Potassium goes up just because zinc increases CA and converts CO2 into bicarbonate. SO to take zinc alone is very very bad for a slow oxidizer.



MattyB , why dont look into those programs of TEI... those guys know all of those things and knew them for yeas, and all interactions. The current research is like 20 years behind.



People who try to create protocols end up creating their protocols. |But it is so hard to create one protocol for everyone. Why not just follow TEI.



Look at this document from TEI, they had this in 1989. and tested all of this for ages. http://traceelements.com/Docs/News Nov-Dec 89.pdf



this is from 1989 .



Slow oxidizer does not have ionized calcium. .



Sometimes when I understand more and more of the interactions and I go, holy shit, TEiI already knew it. It is still amazing to me that people the current research is done on such a low levels. Like they study vitamin D< or study vitamins C, or study vitamin E/ but they dont study all interactions at once."

My criticism about TEI/ARL is that they don't really show us any explanations about their work or theories and I think they should it would be helpful, not sure why they have to keep it such a secret, Gbold said TEIs model is based on 10000 dimensions

He said a lot of things, and what does this even mean? 10000 dimensions? SO it is more complicated than many math models and algorithms. I guess computer science/ algo people can do such a thing with relative ease. I can't. I really doubt one person would figure it out.

Everyone saying it is outdated and old news is right... it can still work tho. My ADHD medicine is like 60 years old, ritalin is even older. Test enanthate or cypionate is really really old too. Anavar as well.
Coffee, pretty fucking old. Carnivore diet millions of years old. Electrolytes, minerals... Millions and billions of years old (I think).

Fasting for humans and other mammals and non mammals has got to be hundres of thousands to millions of years old. Maybe 500million years old or so for things like crocadiles (IDK, whatever).

Can't AI do a lot of this anyways?

He's definitely very smart and he was sick and improved dramatically and got fitter/healthier than 95% of people around him (in his words). Some of the stuff he said is very hard to believe and he didn't have answers, nor time (understandable) for everyone. This forum helped save my life and I am eternally grateful but a lot of things we are kind of on our own for... or we have to ask our friends/loved ones around us, maybe clinicians/ do our own research.

I can't convince people with healthy good careers/ more or less stable lives to do a hair test, and in sickness... it is probably hard to convince oneself to do one.

TEI has 1.5 million hair tests or something acc to their website. And that is good and nice. ARL/Wilson are making up some things for sure. Maybe a lot of things... possibly most things. But if they follow the recommendations then that's good.

Are Slow 4, Slow 3, Slow 2, Slow 1 recommendations different at all?

I took high quality b, mg, enzymes hcl (I like biogest and thorne enzymes and HCl better than what TEI gave me), for years and years. Lived mostly a normal life (risky self employment and not reaching my potential and ignoring 99.9% of woment that found me attractive, due to Autism/focusing on success/also addiction) but normal for me. That is bad but is legitimately normal for me.

To get better at that, I'd like some guidance but I haven't talked to Helen in like 5 years. He's busy I am sure but it seems we gotta take leaps of faith and do our own thing or if we don't want to fuck around, we gotta do whatever TEI says (mostly). I will ignore most their sauna and enema stuff, and I'd probably get good results still. Only issue is I may or may not get a wrong test at first... I really hope not. No hormones, it'd probably be fine.

Helen was spot on about a lot of things.

I guess means their software or algorithm which works everything thing out has 10,000 variations i dunno lol

@MNK99 what do you think about rapamycin? I am pretty much against all pharmaceuticals as they all seem to have some downside, but I am definitely curious about rapa from this testimony, people say it speeds up gut transit time like crazy which I think would be good for me. And this seems to be one of the only drugs which is said to improve longevity. It is an immunosupressive but people only take it once a week or sometimes longer periods than that so potentially that could actually stimulate the immune system I guess. Also supposed to be an antifungal so that could help me too potentially.

"There really has not been much talk of Rapamycin on this forum. When it was brought up in the past, its mTOR inhibition was often talked about as a negative. Many assumed this would lead to muscle wasting and catabolism.

Well I am here to tell you, it is worth looking into. Alone it has given me a level of health I did not think possible when I first joined these forums almost 8 years ago.

I started experimenting with it around March and April of this year. At first, it made me tired, hungry, and gave me some mental boosts. I thought it might be giving me energy but I wasn’t sure. As time went on, I realized it was a massive game changer, but in a very subtle way.

The biggest thing it did for me is I stopped caring about my health. I don’t post much here anymore, not like I used to. I am out enjoying life and doing things. I have my health back, or at least, a good chunk of it, and I attribute a big part of that to Rapamycin.

Maybe things will change one day, and my CFS will come back with a vengeance. But as of now, I lift weights 3 times a week, walk 30k steps per day, sleep great (although sometimes it’s rocky), and don’t journal anymore about what I am taking or how I am sleeping.

I have taken laxatives and quickened transit time before. Rapa does so much more. Rapa is going to change the world, and change humanity. I am more sure about that then almost anything. I am not an expert on Rapamycin, or a doctor, I am just the messenger to tell you to look into it.

I did a podcast about it where I dive into the nitty gritty for side effects, dosages, and where to get it. If you have tried it, I would love to hear about your experience here. Maybe I am an outlier, but I don’t think so."

"Yes it is basically fasting without the downsides of muscle loss, cortisol, adrenaline, and all the other stuff.

I have tried many different supplements, drugs, and protocols. People often differ in what they gain benefits from. But rapa is one of the only things that no matter who I have given it to, they have seen benefits. It really is universal. There have been a couple cases where someone got a strange reaction and decided to stop. But if they push through, those go away.

The immune suppression freaks some people out. I have known a couple who stopped taking it because they were taking too much and getting colds. It is basically just a macrolide antibiotic. Try it or not, it has been around for decades and is pretty safe"

Rapamycin is Fantastic and Worth Trying

There really has not been much talk of Rapamycin on this forum. When it was brought up in the past, its mTOR inhibition was often talked about as a negative. Many assumed this would lead to muscle wasting and catabolism. Well I am here to tell you, it is worth looking into. Alone it has given...
