I'm currently putting together an order for a whole bunch of bloodwork and plan on getting a complete iron panel.Hemoglobin isn't a good indicator of iron status. Mine is high and ferritin sitting at 30~, slightly below normal.
Could be. Every single time I've donated blood over the past eight years since I began to do so after delving into Peat's work, I've had that same experience. Feel lighter (not spacey or lightheaded, just a distinct feeling of the lifting of the heavy cloud over my existence), clear-headed, temporarily regain of a sense of hope about life, which fades away in a day or so.Interesting. Maybe you have toxins in your blood that you aren't excreting for some reason.
I don't like having to supplement vitamin D, but I do anyway because Sun at a high enough azimuth angle to let UVB through the atmosphere doesn't happen until early April where I live. I use Premier Research Labs D3 topically. Interesting on those mercury vapor lamps, I wasn't aware of those. I've never had the budget to drop $400+ on a Sperti.Those tests look fine, except for vitamin D, which means you should get Sun or a mercury vapor lamp.
Mercury Vapor Lamps For Vitamin D
Dr. Peat has mentioned in an interiew that he uses a mercury vapor lamp to obtain his vitamin D. Mercury vapor bulbs are an interesting technology because they give off UVA and UVB light. They are often used to provide UV to reptiles living in aquariums and can be found in pet stores or even...raypeatforum.com
Initially, seeing the lower reading on the NutrEval and wanting to ameliorate that, and following up by reading various studies on its potential anti-adrenaline, anti-inflammatory, anti-histamine and pro-dopamine qualities. My sleep/night awakenings have improved as well since supplementing P5P. I've read of Peat calling 10mg a "big dose", so I'm going to back off of it after a few more days.What made you decide to try P5P?
Head pressure located in the sides and lower back portion of my skull. Nothing behind the eyes for me. No headaches or migraines, but episodes of greater intensity of the "swelling" feeling were coinciding with louder/more bothersome tinnitus, visual snow, anxiety/panic, brain fog, despair.By neuroinflammation, you mean brain fog and what other symptoms? I had neuroinflammation, and what felt like my brain swelling because my eyes were pressing up against my eyelids and they were hard to open and close. I consider neuroinflammation to be just brain fog. Just as various things can cause skin inflammation like cuts and burns, different things can cause neuroinflammation, but the result is the same. Brain fog, brain shutdown.
I've been reading up on his MTHFR stuff, that's where I put together the riboflavin/glycine/choline/creatine thing.I've come across this article many times.
Your “MTHFR” Is Just a Riboflavin Deficiency

Yes, I've experienced this enough times over the years to try to be careful with it, but last year when I was backed into such a frightening corner with the viral illness and its aftermath, I was throwing the kitchen sink at it. TTFD is especially potent, and even though I did my due diligence in reading up on it and the need to use a good B complex alongside it, it still draws on all kinds of cofactors.That's unfortunately an issue with supplementing for chronically hypometabolic people. They have deficiencies in general, they supplement one or a few vitamins or minerals, they feel better, then they end up feeling worse because they make other deficiencies even worse. They think because they felt good that they should just take more of what made them feel better at first.
I forgot to mention that last week I ate twice the amount of liver that I usually do spread over three days and that really seems to have helped push things in a good direction. I'm going to try that again this week.
In my current state? Definitely not. I did go down there in 2017 for about a month and have a friend who lives in Michoacan, so I wouldn't be completely green, but trying to navigate traveling internationally at this point I'd be way in over my head. I do want to get down there though.Are you sure you can handle Mexico, amigo?
That's the spirit, man. Just hard to feel confident when you've got no one in your real life who's awake to it.The Great Reset isn't set in stone. You can still fight it.
Really appreciate your sharing your thoughts here, @Kayaker.
