    High Acetylcholine = learned helplessness, depression - What are good ways to lower acetylcholine or increase acetylcholinesterase activity?

    Ray peat has spoken about the negatives of acetylcholine relating to stress and learning Acetylcholine is an excitotoxic neurotransmitter Acetylcholine likely raises serotonin in the brain (preferentially inhibits MAO-A in the brain) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19025057/ AChE inhibitors...

    Coffee and Cholinesterase (AChE)

    In Ray's article about learned helplessness, arguably his most important article, one of the main points seems to be that low cholinesterase leads to overexcitation of the nerves and to cell death. He cites articles that show that rats living in idyllic environments have high levels of...

    Dear Forum Members, I found three interesting studies on reversing (or reducing) caffeine tolerance, by adding to chronic (or sub-chronic) caffeine treatment, either the dopamine agonists bromocriptine (a predominantly d2/d3 family agonist) or pergolide (a very potent d1 agonist), or...

    Acetylcholinesterase info (nightshade sensitivity)

    Since there has been a lot of hype about choline lately, I thought I’d bring back some balance to the topic in talking about excessive acetylcholine. Having choline in the diet doesn’t necessarily cause too much acetylcholine but it is something to be aware of. I found this really interesting...

    Anti-Peat CDP-Choline enhances cerebral glucose metabolism, increases cerebral blood flow rate & brain ATP, & decreases the accumulation of lactate in the brain

    I know Ray is against choline supplementation but many nootropics users have had positive experiences with it for improving motivation, memory, and overall cognition. CDP-Choline breaks down into uridine which has many dopaminergic effects on the body as well. @Hans wrote an article on this...

    Serotonin (5-HT) is a key driver of asthma

    Yet another blow to the status of the so-called "happiness hormone". While histamine, acetylcholine, and estrogen have long been known as key drivers of asthma the link between the mast cells and the nervous system's production of the vasoconstrictor acetylcholine has remained unknown. The study...
