Guys PFS is the condition where there is no endo nitric oxide. and there is activated INOS and arginase. Arginine is broken down by arginase. This is done because the body cant handle NO, production of NO makes lot of superoxide / same as sugar metabolism. This is why sugar mebolism and NO = run parallel.

INOS creates a lot of oxidative stress. And it bypasses glutathione.



NO is made with

iron plus FAD plus NADPH, plus bh4. this gets your nitric oxide. This creates superoxide. So creations of nitric oxide, requires SOD to handle superoxide. SOD contains manganese zinc copper histidine aspartate. then the product of the SOD is hydrogen peroxide, and for that you need seleno cysteine enzyme glutathione peroxidase.

SO anyone who is trying to cure PFS should look into from the back to forward. and support these enzyme.


Aspartate in the body is made from malate enzymes. But as we know that malate enzymes are used up a lot to make NADPH when penthose pathway is down .

So basically, people can have problems in any of these FAD, NADPH, BH4 recycling, and SOD systems, glutathione peroxidase

Since we know that in PFS sugar metabolism is closed.( sorry MARIO this was posted like 8 years ago)) by TONS of people including Ray Peat.


When the body cant make NO, it does not have anything to do with arginine. So it has to stop its production and increase its breakage.

it does this with arginase and by stopping enzymes that make cirtrulline from ornitine. the enzymes that make citrulline from ornitine are on zinc and biotin. This is why we see high levels of zinc in the urine biotin and b6. Which is basically pyroluria treatment


Now our goal is to have b6 biotin and zinc working again. Since they will make arginine and this will make nitric oxide.

How do we do that. We provide the components above to make NITRIC oxide, and also we need to look at components further down the line, which provide SODS and glutathione peroxidase. since if those components are missing , then we cant make nitric oxide and cant open up sugar metabolism.


Same exact enzymes are needed to allow sugar metabolism. B1 is needed to use sugar, then SOD is needed to deal with superoxide, and then glutathione peroxidase is needed to handle the hydrogen peroxide.


YOu see that sugar metabolism goes hand and hand with NO metabolism. SO no sugar metabolism no NO metabolism

This is why PFS people feel bad on sugar. coffee, anything that kills B1.


So now we have to basically try all combinations of these things to cure people one by one.


For some it could be just B1 deficiency, then you take B1 and then you take all the minerals that B1 made you lose, like zinc biotin , b6 , etc.


Since B1 deficiency stopped those minrerals from working and you pissed those into the urine.

Second case is that B1 deficiency is since B1 is not working and this causes all those other minerals to be lost also. but it happens since B1 cant b e allowed since either SODs are missing zinc copper manganese histdine aspartate. or glutathione peroxidase is missing which is selenium cysteine. or it could be that b2 is missing along with magnesium.


SO basically all treatments will be from this list. If you look at ARL and TEI , all their stuff is from this.

But may be the levels of certains vitamins are too low.

All the bile acids deficiencies, stem from low NADPH FAD system since all bile acids are made with these and these recycle glutathione which recycles vitamin C and E and those make your bile acids , ascrobate is the cofactor to make bile acids,

When you start making bile acids, you will have all fat soluble vitamins, and you cat eat butter for them.




So lets chose people and try all these routes.


IT is basically electrolytes protocol. but may be we can try different combinations. Lets have 2-3 people and try these. with me


Also these conditions could have low or high fibrinogen levels https://hackstasis.com/threads/high-or-low-fibrinogen-levels-pfs-cfs-me-pssd-pois.1034/

BOTTOM LINE:

We can have cases like this

1) MIssing FAD , this will cause low glutathione reductase, this will cause waste of cysteine. this will cause low NADPH oxidase. and ROS and the body will have to upregulate INOS and downregulate eNOS.

2) MIssin NADPH -

3) missing SODS components,
4) missing glutathione peroxidase components.
5) WE CANT HAVE NADPH OXIDASE INDUCED and this is why nitric oxide production is down. IN this case we might have high b1 or b2 or LOW Potassium

Remember when you feed FAD or B1 you need to feed those with the things that were lost because of FAD and B1 deficiencies.

Biles acids were missings. so all solubles are down. sugar metabolism was down, so all vitamin Bs would be down. SOD components. YOu gotta try which one you feel best on . copper zinc magnenese and their combinations.

It is best to test the blood. May be we have really high levels of b1 or b2 also, and this causes the problem.

Do you have any idea if fast/slow oxidizers would gravitate toward first case and second case?

@Jaxx. lets try to get you fixed. Since I already thought about your case, you will be a PSSD case

@Helen have you looked into saw palmetto cases. Me and @Olski69 had similar ratios on our hair test. We all seem to have high iron.

Here are my hair test.

I am doing this full time, for a couple weeks now, things are going well, only big issue is sleep, still havn't got deep long sleep resolved yet. Assuming this is related to glycogen metabolism, hoping it will come online. I do sleep better then I have in a long long time, just want to repair it fully.

All these disorders are in relation to metabolism, it technically isn't just fixing a simple disorder but your underlying metabolism if that makes sense
How are you going on arl? Do you feel you have improved?

Pure PSSD in 4 lows - if you'd find such case useful, then I'd love to try it.

If not - I'll watch while on TEI. Good luck:) Hope this works out - I forgot how it is to even think about sex:[

I would be willing to try for PSSD, but I'm struggling to understand exactly what supplements to choose from. Perhaps we can come up with a master list? Something like:

Case 1 (B1 deficiency):
  • B1
  • Zinc
  • B6
  • etc

Case 2a (B1 not working because SODs missing):
  • zinc
  • copper
  • manganese
  • histdine
  • aspartate

Case 2b (B1 not working because glutathione peroxidase missing):
  • selenium
  • l-cysteine

Case 2c (B1 not working because B2 and magnesium are missing):
  • B2
  • magnesium

nice that you are making these cases.


NO. dont forget that the further this goes, the more you are missing. Lets say if you are missing SODS. then the body will piss out b1 zinc b6 biotin and those component of SODs which are not missing.

If you are missing glutathione peroxidase, , the body will try to lose SODS fad nadph everything. not to create hydrogen peroxide.


It is good that you are trying to create these case. I am also trying to right them all out.


we also need more cases with b2.



Good way to measure this or try this. is by taking b2 and b1. first.


if b2 makes you depressed. - serotonin is low. serotonin . MAO A works on FAD and copper.
if b2 makes you energetic. then serotonin is high.





Zinc increases domapine to serotonin ratio.

Copper lowers dopamine to serotonin ratio.



In PSSD< lets say we assume that SSRI causes upregulation of MAO A. to fight extra serotonin that you are putting in.

then after you quit. MAO A can stay upregulates and MAO- A breaks down serotonin and dopamine. lower dopamine causes higher prolactin and LH shutdown.

So since MAO works on 2 things FAD and copper. We have to figure out which one to take out. If we want to take out both we give B1, which will produce NADPH and NADPH will oxidize FAD in many reactions and FAD will fall. and we can give zinc, which will take out copper. This will decrease MAO A and increase serotonin and dopamine, and this will lower prolactin.


another possibility is that FAD is too high , and since MAO A is copper enzyme. then extra FAD activates it too much spending a lot of copper.

In this case if we lower FAD with B1 NADPH , then we can also add copper and histidine.


Now we have cases of low FAD.

this could happen is copper is too high. Then we probably try FAD and zinc.



I will try to write out more of these cases.. We just need to take couple of guys eventually with typical PSSD and try all these things out. One of them will work.


@talkingant Are you typical PSSD, do you have any tests, bloods hair.

You seem to be structural. may be we can try it with you.if you have tests.


Orion is taking all of it. Since dont forget that before PSSD you were also all fucked up and if we return you to taht fucked up anxiety state, you will not like it all.

So may be the good and full protocol is what Orion is doing. which supports all these systems and eventually all of them stabilize.


But yes, we will still try out these precise directional shots , just to see that we understand the situation correctly.


You realize that we are trying to write out the TEI and ARL cases here.))

I’d love to participate @Helen but I'm not sure if you saw my last hair test and know what I'm working on currently. I started TEI yesterday about to start weekly liver flushes to help get this calcium down- its pretty freakin high I don't know if PFS can be cured with a calcium shell to this degree present lol.

Maybe could participate while doing this? Or in a month or two when I'm ready to do so?

bruschi, dont worry about that calcium, dont take anything but TEI. dont add anything, no aminos nothing please.

There are gazzillion slow oxidizers with zero PFS
