do we need to not consume milk fat or beef fat either then?Me personally I’ve used both granules and powder form, (I don’t tend to use capsules because I’d need to take too many). I use two tablespoons of charcoal when necessary in 8oz of water and the immediate effect is powerfully euphoric.
Persorbtion is the issue that can occur with powdered form.
I’m not sure how ACV affects endotoxin but I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s beneficial, (there’s a lot of data that ACV will lower blood glucose readings, and activated charcoal always reliably lowers my blood glucose to 80s-90s from as high as 130-150).
Vitamin D is also a TLR4 antagonist, so it’s another good option. I have a version from lanolin in MCT oil that I use topically.
I’ve been using blood glucose levels as a surrogate for endotoxin levels lately and I think it’s pretty valid, (because I’ve found that blocking TLR4 essentially eliminates all my metabolic symptoms, and lowers my blood glucose). I think in order to really keep endotoxin at bay you have to ensure that you minimize fat burning, and encourage glucose oxidation. In addition to the occasional charcoal, I’m focusing now of niacinamide, aspirin, vitamin D, pyrucet, and thiamine in addition to NDT. I think you really have to take a multi-pronged approach to break the cycle. In the past I tended to focus on just glucose oxidation, or just endotoxin, or just inhibiting the fatty acids, but I really think you kinda have to do it all for the best effects, (or at least I have had to).
what about olive leaf extract for endotoxin?
vitamin d i dont know if its safe. what dosage is needed for tlr4 antagonism... is 1000 Iu daily fine. since 5000 IU orally daily can cause other issues.
