Fine for what?Would taking 20mg thiamine hcl be fine
Ray Peat on calcium citrate:Are you sure calcium citrate is a good form, I need a bio-available calcium sup
Utilizing carbs/glucoseFine for what?
How much carbs/glucose?Utilizing carbs/glucose
Here's a video:Utilizing carbs/glucose
In a day maybe 400-450How much carbs/glucose?
You need to do your own research into this. You know your own body and your circumstances, Don't rely on this forum to tell you what to do. I trust Ray Peat himself, not so much this forum. Although Ray has not said a whole lot about thiamine he has addressed it. Search for thiamine and also for B1. Here are some Ray Peat search engines you can use:In a day maybe 400-450
I pulled the number I used from an internet search. I'll see if I can find it. I can't find it now. However, I did find your number on another site other than a cronometer site. So my number could simply be wrong.
If you are very healthy and your body has no toxin load (like heavy metals or environmental toxins) or pharmaceutical drugs or antibiotics and your metabolism is working just great then the RDA numbers might work fine. My situation is much different and I require a lot more than the RDA for thiamine.
The need for thiamine also depends on how much sugar your body is burning for fuel. If you give it more sugar than you've got thiamine to process it, your body will convert the sugar to fat and store it.
There was a guy named Andrew Kim who used to write nice articles on his website with some topics related to Peat's ideas and he had a good one on thiamine and carbohydrates from what I remember. I wonder if his website is still around...? He kind of disappeared I think.
I reply to myself all the time. Doesn't seem that weird to me.... Thank you for the article; I'll go read it.Okay, his old blog is still up I guess. I found the article I was thinking of but it wasn't an article on thiamin, he just mentions it briefly in the article...
"The capacity to use the increased oxygen is limited by the availability of all the B vitamins, including thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid, and others. A regular and adequate supply of these vitamins improves the reserve and capacity of the Krebs cycle and respiratory chain. The active thyroid hormone, T3, stimulates all the reactions involved in the oxidative metabolism of glucose, increasing the requirement for all the B vitamins. The ingestion of simple carbohydrate also increases the requirement for the B vitamins, in particular thiamin."
Anyway, that passage stuck with me.
Edit: I just realized I'm replying to myself... which makes that last sentence a bit weird...
That makes a lot of sense.If your calcium scores are always high, that could be a major part of your problem. High calcium causes potassium wasting and poor magnesium status. It also will wreak havoc on your entire metabolism. If you're taking a vitamin D supplement or getting any via milk, you might want to stop.
Try searching for the secosteroid hormone D page on Facebook. There's a wealth of information on there. Also, the magnesium advocacy group on Facebook is good, and Matt Blackburns Facebook or Instagram.
You need to get your calcium down. Stop all vitamin d, increase potassium and magnesium, check your ceruloplasmin and copper, iron, zinc, rbc magnesium and potassium levels. Vitamin k might be helpful to direct all that calcium out of the blood and soft tissues and into bone where it belongs.
I took high dose vitamin D for several years and ended up with cavities and thinning/clear teeth. I stopped all vitamin D last year and worked on fixing mineral and electrolytes and now my cavities have shrunk in size and teeth are more opaque and healthy looking.
Not sure when reading but didn't aee a response to the carrot/antibiotic question. Had you tried the boiled mushrooms? Maybe with some parmesian reggiano? I put some tomato sauce if it doesn't seem to cause irritstion. Was in pretty much the same boat but after a couple days my temps went first down at night then came to a bit higher in the morning. I have a constant fight with the starch/sugar/hypo cycle and the thiamine doesnt seem to esc it.Not sure what is happening, but my eyebrows are now getting visibly thinner and thinner every day, and my teeth hurts more than ever. I'm getting bald spots in my facial hair.
I need to do something ASAP before I lose all my teeth, my hair, my facial hair and body hair.
I'm thinking of starting thyroid supplementation again. It ended up in total disaster last time I tried (back in 2018), but maybe my metabolism and nutrient status is better now? Maybe I should start on the lowest dose possible, increasing the dosage reeeeally reeeeally slowly?
If the fruit you're eating is very starchy, which a lot of fruit available isn't ripe or isn't ripened properly, it could cause digestion issues. I think mixing milk, sugar and coffee together in a ratio that tastes best can be a good way to get enough carbohydrate with adequate nutrition.This post is pure gold, a well of knowledge. Thanks for the RP quotes!
I haven't had vitamin D / PTH test done recently, but I definitely have some kind of calcium metabolism problem. My total blood calcium and ionized calcium always comes back very high, it is getting higher and higher over time and it is directly correlated with my other issues (digestive etc) - the higher my blood calcium, the worse my digestion (and other problems) are.
Have tried Thiroyd NDT from Thailand (which I suspect might be of a poor quality) and Cynoplus.
Haven't been tracking temps and pulses back then. Definitely will do that when I start experimenting with thyroid supplement again.
The reason I'm using Thiamine Pyrophosphate is that I can't tolerate Thiamine HCL. It is giving me unbearable stomach pains.
can you pm me or post your blood work?I'm experimenting with pure T3 supplementation at the moment.
The effects are exactly the same as when I have tried Armour and Cynoplus few years back.
At first, absolutely zero effect whatsoever. It made literally zero difference in the way I feel. Like if I was eating sugar pills instead of the actual thyroid.
And then, after a couple of days of supplementing, rapid tooth decay.
What is wrong with me?
It's been some time since your thyroid issues. Were you able to figure out why you were not responding to thyroid?I'm experimenting with pure T3 supplementation at the moment.
