Having “O” negative blood has kept me cautious about aspirin also, Cari. We make natto (Natto contains fiber, probiotics, vitamin K2 and nattokinase) although it’s made with not Peaty soybeans and is a fermented product. Plus it’s taste is not appealing for me but it’s definitely touted as a natural Vit K source to offset aspirin bleeding effects.
In perusing Dr. Peat’s library of work, aspirin is certainly high on his list for many reasons. I recently purchased the aspirin tablets Danny Roddy suggested (perhaps Cari can link her powder source?). As a cancer survivor it seems aspirin can be an important addition for maintaining happy metabolism so I’m considering ways to incorporate it.
Very interesting topic and I enjoy seeing how others identify “off” symptoms. I had not read about the estrogen causing need to urinate without actually having a full bladder.
My most prevalent symptoms still seem to relate to higher estrogen and serotonin. Clues for me are my eyelids tend to sting and itch when starch is part of the diet. I cook for others who eat “healthy” but not necessarily Peaty and sometimes I don’t have milk or my go -to’s on hand. That’s when I really start to notice specific symptoms and say “why did I eat that??” sigh….
I used to have hives and night hot flashes (cortisol) but they continue to improve. Hives particularly are related to non-cotton clothing because it’s hot here and with outdoor work sweating, polyester definitely creates rashes. (Fabric frequency thread here is very neat!).
When I first starting reading Dr. Peat and doing temp checks I was, wow – my thyroid is great, look at these 99+ temps. Only to realize that’s exactly what high stress hormones can cause, haha.
@Avoo72 Such an interesting combination and it appears to be quite popular. I saw this post that has potential benefits and it’s certainly in keeping with Dr. Peat’s CO2 quest.
Apple Cider Vinegar & Baking Soda for Losing Weight, Better Digestion & More
The only caveat I’m not sure about is that I think baking soda tends to lower stomach acidity so that might be an issue for digestion?
Tonic Recipe
In a shot glass, add 1/4 teaspoon of baking soda.
Pour two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar into the shot glass. Stir the mixture until the baking soda is thoroughly dissolved.
Slice an orange into eight wedges and set it aside.
Drink the apple cider vinegar and baking soda mix. The mixture tastes sour so it is recommended to drink it all at once.Eat a wedge of the orange (or pineapple, or melon) to take the sour taste out of your mouth.
This tonic must be consumed three times a day, especially if you are experiencing water retention. Apple cider vinegar alone benefits to heart by clearing the clogged arteries, lymph nodes, and organ tissues.
Really enjoying these posts, too, such a wealth of information to help us align and resonate! I love my little herb garden and frequently bring cuttings inside to help fill the air with fresh scents!
And cotton has been part of my heritage, growing up in the US south and working in the textile industry years ago before things were moved offshore. As a little girl I used to collect little cotton handkerchiefs, embroidering and crocheting edgings on them. I thought the little hankies were magic. Happy memories! 🙂
@Gawdawg I like that! My sister has always loved salty things and I’ve always liked the sweet, my guess is we have a microbiome that helps direct us. 🙂
I wonder about the bitter aspect because it seems Traditional Chinese Medicine views bitter as helpful for the liver?
Dr. Peat’s suggestion for warm milk with a bit of sugar and salt has been a very helpful aid for sleep!
Makes you wonder how many mysteries are just waiting for our understanding to expand. So sad we have such controversy over nutrition when much seems driven by profits not health. Even medical literature is misleading, delving into experiment methodology and even the final analysis, — often the raw data is never released for public scrutiny even though funded through tax payer channels.
Morning light is definitely helpful. We work outside in the Florida bright sun everyday so I try to be mindful of how much is enough. I think Dr. Peat’s suggested solar radiation can damage the eyes, especially for people suffering from slow metabolism.
I saw this quote from his article Cataracts: water, energy, light, and aging
https://raypeat2.com/articles/articles/cataracts-water-energy-light-aging.shtml
“Ultraviolet light powerfully stimulates the formation of nitric oxide (Chaudhry, et al., 1993), and is one of the known causes of cataracts. Since the cornea is more directly exposed than the lens to the ultraviolet rays of sunlight, the effects of injury can be seen more quickly. Exposure of the cornea to ultraviolet light causes swelling, reduced transparency, and the formation of nitric oxide, which enters the aqueous humor (Cejka, et al., 2012; Cejkova, et al., 2005). Swelling in itself, regardless of the cause, decreases the transparency of the cornea (Stevenson, et al., 1983); anything interfering with its energy metabolism causes swelling. ”
I look forward to reading more about “electroosmotic flow of water” because that seems to be a significant aspect of how cells operate.
It truly is surprising how popular protein powders are. The tryptophan topic always fascinates me because Dr. Peat’s articles on methionine restriction and the phosphate to calcium ratio seem to be major pillars, along with the PUFA elimination, for attaining robust health. Finding the sweet spot for what works best with our metabolism is the magic question!
As I recall Cari, you’ve significantly reduced your meat and gelatin? Your posts really help me stay focused! Thank you! 🙂
Very good post, potatoes are so delicious! Thank you for the reminder about the red potatoes, Cari! This last time I bought the Yukon yellow ones, and even though I soaked them after peeling then boiling, something just seemed off. Perhaps related to the “hidden nasties” aspect of them being non-organic — grocery shopping these days is challenging!
