Many thanks for taking the time to put that together. My original concern was avoiding iron overload, however in the last year my hematocrit jumped up for no known reason so I am now donating blood a bit more frequently to keep it i check, but I have no symptoms of low iron. I have quercetin on...

Hmmm. A brief experiment with a form of T that leaves your system quickly might be fine as an experiment, however that sounds like some sort of infection or nutrient issue. Have you been to a holistic doc who specializes in fatigue? Lyme disease is very tricky to diagnose but could cause that...

Two questions: 1) since the amount of iron that can be carried by Ferritin can apparently vary massively, how can ferritin alone be a good measure of available iron? My understanding is that TIBC is a better measure but I would be interested in your thoughts, and 2) if someone is trying to...

As other threads have discussed, the dosage to reach a particular blood level can vary from person to person, so there is a degree of experimentation involved. I agree with Vince that starting low and adjusting up after a couple of months if your symptoms dictate is a good approach. What...

More good info in the link below, especially regarding the affect of salt on Zeta Potential and the factors involved in finding healthy salt. https://www.midwesterndoctor.com/p/the-truth-about-salt-efa

I recommend starting with 100-300 mcg (micrograms) and then adjusting upward if necessary. The people who seem to have bad reactions start with higher amounts. For me, it is not a night and day miraculous difference, but a very noticeable bump in the right direction, which I combine with dozens...

No. It requires sun exposure.

For me, the key to the descent is to envision the muscles tensioning like a spring or rubber band, so my cue on the descent is to think “coil, coil,coil…”. This is what powerlifters mean when they say “stay tight”. I only inhale and then hold my breath if necessary until the lift, at which point...

First of all, kudos to you for being open-minded enough to try new things. Most people use an issue as an excuse to stop lifting. Several comments… Something I’ve noticed is that when you injure a joint, the body seems to try to protect itself by immobilizing the joint by locking up the muscles...

Regarding Vitamin C, you can take higher levels while your body is fighting an infection (think of C as being like the bullets for your innate immune system "gun") however I back down as soon as I start to feel better. It will provoke diarrhea if you take too much but I've never had an issue. I...

For me it's the same. The tanning is excessive however.

A few ideas. Regarding recovery from illness, I would start with micro-nutrients. Do you ramp up you vitamin C intake whenever you feel an illness coming on? By ramp-up I mean go from maybe a gram per day to 5-10 grams per day? And add-in liposomal C? In addition, Vitamin D blood levels over 50...

I have recently started using red light therapy for joint issues and in reading about it, it seems to have a pro-hair affect as well. I use the $90 face mask sold on amazon but it is a flexible mat that you can form to use almost anywhere including the top of your head. Also, there have been a...

I've had tons of joint issues, they come with lifting and living, but thankfully they've all pretty much resolved and I'm lifting as much as ever for the most part. Look through the tread "Fixes for Joint Issues." A few highlights and things I need to go back and add to the other thread: - DMSO...

Vitamin D is apparently helpful for PD, as with so many other things https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2025/05/26/vitamin-d-and-parkinsons-disease.aspx Also, I heard an interview with Dr. Bredesen where he said his dementia reversal protocol was showing benefit for...
