Can we talk about Fe really fast? Let me preface this with saying I don’t think fortified and/or processed foods should make up ones daily diet (baking desserts, etc are fairly straight forward). However, Masterjohn has gone to great lengths telling people to eat a carnivore only meal when...

Several years ago I posted about a study demonstrating that an Achilles heel of cancer had been found - i.e. its addiction to fat (not glucose, as doctors and media continue to mindlessly parrot)...

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11995291/ "This article summarizes research conducted during the last 2 decades that addresses the idea that stored iron plays a role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis and that iron reduction through phlebotomy may play a role in the treatment or prevention...

As many of my readers know, Peat is against supplementing with isolated iron. Aside from the well-known toxicity risks (e.g. liver damage) multiple studies have shown that in a good portion of the people treated with oral iron supplements, anemia either does not resolve or rapidly returns upon...

The puzzle begins to take shape. As I wrote in the thread,High salt intake caused metabolic acidosis, I assume that ADHD may be a simple dopamine deficiency. As you can see from the diagram below, vitamin B6 is essential for the synthesis of dopamine. Haidut previously published a study in...

Chronic alcohol abuse is highly detrimental to health and especially to the brain. Alcohol puts the body in a reductive state and depletes vitamin B1 (thiamine) stores. If the B1 deficiency becomes severe enough it manifests through what is clinically known as Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome (WKS)...

Recently I bought some Cyproheptadine and Vitamin B Complex syrup and I noticed it contained some 0.08 grams of Ferric Pyrophosphate for every 1mg of Cypro Given that I'm planning to start taking the cypro regularly I wanted to know if there was potential danger given what Peat has to say about...

Hey guys, In my head this is a 1+1=2 anecdote, but it requires a few sentences of context. Summarized conclusion: about 450 calories of 100% dark chocolate reversed symptoms of fatigue and lack of motivation. ___________ For the last few weeks, something like 80% of my calories have come from...

I wonder if the mechanism by which vitamin C helps Covid-19 infected patients is by regulating iron in the body, reducing ferritin, and thus preventing lipid peroxidation. Hemoglobin, myoglobin and heme compounds can accelerate lipid peroxidation by at least two different mechanisms: the heme...

As the study itself states, it is not just the iron used in dietary supplements that may the dangerous. The type used on food fortification is just as dangerous and may be even more impactful since virtually all people eat commercial food on a daily basis while much fewer numbers consume iron...

17β-Estradiol Inhibits Iron Hormone Hepcidin Through an Estrogen Responsive Element Half-Site ”Hepcidin is the central regulatory molecule of systemic iron homeostasis (5). In this study, we found that hepcidin mRNA is inhibited in cells and in mice by nanomolar concentrations of E2 (Figs. 2...

Has anyone here ever attempted to cure type 2 diabetes successfully? A friend just started diabetes medication, and in a party we were in, he passed out because the medication made his blood sugar go way low. I told him I'll see if I can provide a method where he can get his condition cured...

By this time we are all aware that iron should be kept low. In this study iron is involved in insulin resistance, inflammation and fat gain. Iron homeostasis: a new job for macrophages in adipose tissue? "men and women in the highest quintile of serum ferritin (Ft) levels – the primary...

I posted a few recent studies that finally start to make the connection between endotoxin, iron, and neurodegenerative conditions. Endotoxin And Iron Finally Recognized As Potential Causes Of Many Diseases Endotoxin (LPS) May Be A Causative Factor In Alzheimer Disease (AD) Big Pharma is...

Everyone is familiar with Ray's writings on the dangers of iron, and we're all accustomed to the idea of its moderate restriction. However, in some situations such as infections, a strict avoidance can also be beneficial, especially if there are antibiotics involved. In fact, if the forum had a...

Adipocyte iron regulates adiponectin and insulin sensitivity. - PubMed - NCBI Iron overload is associated with increased diabetes risk. We therefore investigated the effect of iron on adiponectin, an insulin-sensitizing adipokine that is decreased in diabetic patients. In humans, normal-range...

The optimal approach would be to keep iron stores on the low end of normal but for the people who already have confirmed iron overload, this study may offer some help. Glycine seems to protect from the toxicity of iron, which is mainly manifested in the liver (and sometimes brain). Iron induces...
