Root causes. Natural medicine deep dives. Answering questions conventional medicine won't. Cannabinoids & Psychedelics.

The ECS is a smart redox balance system.

It uses endocannabinoids to simultaneously have one foot on the ROS accelerator (CB1/TRPV1/FABP → more ROS - hormetic) and ROS brake (CB2/PPAR → less ROS).

So it can respond to hormetic signals like fasting by producing small amount of ROS.

Or stamp out large amount of ROS in response to a toxic exposure.

It calibrates the ROS response to match the environment.

@SolBrah Best to just use a purified thymus extract or just desiccated thymus for some of the immune peptide related benefits.

People with SIBO (hydrogen) tested negative after up to 6 weeks on a carnivore diet.

It's not clear whether SIBO is actually eradicated or just dormant from not being fed on this diet.

Only way to find out is re-introduce fibre/carbs and re-test.

Best to take antimicrobials/biofilm agents alongside the diet to ensure eradication.

Not to say the former might not be useful in certain cases.

But ti illustrate the difference between treating a downstream issue vs upstream

[Natural Meds 🍊 @Bioindividual]

Treating the root of an issue can help save $ on supplements

For eg - you could buy creatine, d-ribose & CoQ10 to support sluggish mitochondria to relieve fatigue

Or artemisinin, echinacea, B12, thymic peptides etc to clear infection(s) that could be slowing mitochondria

Props to this lady. But thinking she is the result of her diet alone is the same mistake researchers made when they thought the mediterranean diet was responsible for all of the health benefits seen in the mediterranean.

It's also lifestyle. She's outside all day, on a farm, away from all the BS most other people aren't.

Learn how to sit with discomfort

So many things make it easy to avoid doing this

All of the small pacifiers & distractions

Shorts on the phone, snacks available everywhere, impulse buys a click away, busyness

The noise covers up the signal in the discomfort - for growth & clarity

@NoahRyanCo Self decode is also a great site to run 23me or ancestry data through for reports beyond Strategene methylation focus.

Certain HLA gene variants make it very difficult to resolve autoimmunity when they are expressed.

Expressed = innate <> adaptive immune mismatch.

T cells stay stuck in a cell danger 1/2/3 state where they can't communicate or tell self from other.

One route to ME/CFS - infection often a trigger (amongst others) but metabolic, immune & autonomic dysfunction become the problem.

Often the dysfunction remains after just going after the infection.

@GutOptimized Yh the inflammatory milieu from SIBO/dysbiosis would affect nociception and sensitivity in the gut for sure.

Endocannabinoid system also plays a role - often thrown off in IBS guts > more pain & sensitivity

Also as you say stress priming the gut is a big top down one.

Even when I was eating a carnivore diet, nothing stopped me adding fresh coriander leaves to my plate.

Contain very few antinutrients & oxalates.

Plus vit C, polyphenols & flavonoids support P I/II detox pathways, boost SOD/CAT/GSH + mild metal chelation.

50g serving: ~13.5–15 mg Vit C (15–17% RDA) + ~155 mcg Vit K (130–172% AI).
