    Intuitive-visceral Sense

    If a physician can shut up for long enough, the patient will tell him what is wrong, so went an old medical gag. But, is it just a gag? The chronically ill have an intuitive-visceral sense of what is wrong with them. Those suffering from depression, obsessive-compulsive disorders, schizophrenia...

    Recreating Creativity

    Recent posts by curt and haidut have me thinking about creativity a lot lately. I was reflecting on how creative I was as a child and teen and realized when I stopped making time for creativity I became ill. It's hard to say which came first but lack of creativity and ill health seem very...

    Intuition, Creativity Make Us Altruistic; Reasoning Selfish

    I think this study supports Ray's ideas well. Too much analytical thinking is the hallmark of selfish, authoritarian thought and a symptom of defective metabolism. Creativity, altruism, trusting your senses and intuition is the behavior of "artists" and revered by the likes of William Blake...

    How Can We Increase Creativity And Intelligence?

    Hi all. Hope you are all well :-) So aside from eating a pro-thyroid diet, what can one do to improve creativity and/or intelligence? Short or long term, and there any hacks/supplements/practices that work? I would be particularly interested in hearing from any artists that may be on the forum...

    Lactic Acid (lactate) Triggers Stress Response In The Brain

    The article tries to spin it in a positive light - i.e. that releasing adrenaline in the brain is beneficial. However we care about the direct message itself - adrenaline/noradrenaline are stress hormones and lactic acid triggers their release in the brain. This is likely harmful if experienced...

    Weaned Off Of HRT

    It has taken me about 5 1/2 months but I feel confident now to say that I have successfully weaned off of bioidentical HRT (Bi-Est /Progesterone cream). When I started the estrogen, I was having horrendous hot flashes every hour plus. During the night, I would have hot flashes almost...

    Vitamin C May Treat Cancer

    Probably everybody has heard of Linus Pauling, and his protocol involving large doses of vitamin C. Unfortunately, when Linus was allowed to test vitamin C in a clinical setting all the trials were conducted with oral instead of intravenous vitamin C. So, since there was not much effect, people...

    The Long Haul

    Anyone else kind of excited about the idea that PUFA take up to 4 years to clear out of the body? I've been sticking to this diet for over a year. I'm 5'11" and went from 140 pounds to 180, and from size 32 pants to a 36 (probably a 35, but I like my pants on the looser side). For the first...

    Tryptophan Depletion

    Acute tryptophan depletion (ATD) is a powerful approach to investigate the effects of 5-HT in different settings. By ingesting a drink containing large neutral amino acids (LNAA) but no tryptophan, LNAAs compete with endogenous TRP for transport across the blood-brain barrier (BBB), subsequently...

    Keeping Warm Enhances Mind And Body Function

    A good article explaining the connection between higher body temperature and the release of thyroid hormone. Higher body temperature may contribute to releasing more thyroid. So, another argument in favor of keeping warm and against "cold thermogenesis". The pathological state of increased...

    Spine Health And Hypothyroidism

    Causes of Hypothyroidism The causes of hypothyroidism were varied, and appear from the readings to relate both to true hypothyroidism as well as "incoordination" of the glandular system. Commonly, a spinal imbalance was suggested as the cause. A nutritional deficiency, usually caused by dietary...

I had spent my entire life feeling off, not well like something wasn't quite right but it all remained a mystery. I won't go into my life story but I'm sure many can relate...

Since I think milk is more beneficial I have stuck with milk. I started taking my temperature and BPM...

    Using Peat For An Essay

    Hello everybody, I've been reading both Peat's, Danny Roddy's, and Matt Stone's works for about 9 months now.
