Is heavy metals something you need to address before vitamin A can be detoxed ?
very interesting, i also would like to know if this has helped anyone@charlie
Have you experimented with Cholestyramine at all? I found it got rid of many cholestasis symptoms I had (itching etc), and it can show you what bile binding really feels like.

yes I got it pureDid you get pure powder from a compounding pharmacy? Apparently the product available usually contains a lot of additives.
I have not.@charlie

Agreed. You should never let someone else grind your meat. Always do it yourself.Just a tip for those who are eating minced or ground beef. I think it is much better if we mince it ourselves just before cooking with an small electrical appliance. It is then fresh. I freeze chunks of beef which I defrost and use. Some of that meal, often with kidney beans mushrooms and spring onions I refreeze when cooked.
My opinion is probably not. I see the misconception about bananas being a good source of potassium all the time when they're actually pretty terrible compared to white potatoes, coconut water as low vitamin A sources.Doing low A, but not taking niacin. The days I skip a banana i get twitching on the sole of my feet. Does this indicate a serious potassium deficiency?

Other sources that are relatively high in potassium, but not really part of the low toxin diet would be orange juice, avocados and tomatoes.
why dont you have her take some b12 and thyroid, itll help, also @burtlancast mentioned that one can use carrot juice that has been put into liposomes so that it goes through the circulation through lymph instead.My mom essentially did chemo on herself with tons of carrot juice and she did beat cancer, but her health is still quite terrible and even more so after all the juicing. Her skin is yellow, she has blood sugar and weight issues, and her bones are more or less destroyed.
Well done!
You are very disciplined.
Perhaps it was just a matter of getting the program right!
Are you eating 1, 2 or 3 hamburger patties each day?Well, I guess that was my honeymoon period and now I'm back slowly creeping up in weight again. Boo!
It's a bit scary, as after trying to do the right this with Peating, I had the same issue. I kept telling myself if was temporary and to keep pushing through and just kept gaining and gaining and gaining. I think I'm going to go start a Low Toxin Log of my own so I can post and learn from where I may be doing something incorrectly.
I had started to pull away from meat a bit and was eating more beans and rice and/or spelt toast. Still had beef or chicken 10 out of 21 meals per week.Are you eating 1, 2 or 3 hamburger patties each day?
What are the ingredients in them and how much does each one weigh?
What sort of exercise do you do each day?
Thank you and @Peater for the thoughts. After adding the psyllium today (and bringing down the amount of beans), the skin on my legs feels tight and swollen. I have heavy/edema legs anyway, so not a great feeling. So I'll try your thought about a different fiber source.Hi @cfeehan,
Are the hamburger patties 100% beef?
@Peater may be right about water retention.
If you could replace the psyllium with an apple or banana or a dozen sultanas or handful of cherries or 2 plums you could get some good nutrients in there with the fibre!
It’s great that you are doing the 15 minute of cycling. That should get your body warm. Do you do any vacuuming or walking etc the rest of the day? If not then maybe you just don’t need many calories!
Cyproheptadine is a pretty toxic medication that can lastingly alter brain chemistry to the negative, like all first-generation anti-histamines. It should never be taken and if you still want to take it then it should only be taken for acute issues, and then only for 2-3 days. Ray Peat himself said to not use it more often than a couple times.Would it be ok to take cyproheptadine to offset the serotonin increqse during the flush ? Would that affect any of the potential niacin benefits ?
