KPV can also kill bacteria, apparently. https://derekpruski.substack.com/p/mots-c-can-directly-attack-bacteria?r=wyw6a&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email We have a lot to learn....

There's a measured scale for how hard a human life runs. It's called PAL (Physical Activity Level) — total daily energy use divided by resting energy use. No units, any body, any era. 1.2 — bed rest. The floor. 1.38 — healthy, free-living 91-year-olds. 1.49 — the government's "less active" adult. 1.63 — what the official intake figures assume about you. 1.70 — mobile, independent 60-70-somethings. Yes — above the working-age average. 2.2+ — the old life. Manual job, no car, cold house. A desk-job week sits around 1.4–1.5. Closer to the 91-year-olds than the labourers. And the 70-somethings out-move most of us — it's mobility that sets the number, not age. Drop your honest number below — and a brief explanation if you want?. This scale is the backbone of a few things I'm posting over the next fortnight. Post two contains the single most uncomfortable fact in the government's own tables

I have attempted on more occasions than you can shake a stick at, to stop drinking at home alone, ie, not when we have company, which is next to never. I love booze. Jack Daniels, real ales, real cider, gold watch, vodka, you name it. My night time routine is bath, Motörhead, booze. It free’s my mind, helps get my creative juices flowing for things to make, but it also brings out the anger in me. I had 23 years of dealing with conflict, violence, danger, hatred and Im done with that feeling. I need to stop drinking so much, before irreversible damage is done. From today, Im committing to 30 days of no booze on my own at home, thats how 99% of my intake is consumed. I know that that single change will be life enhancing. @Gary Le Rosbifs said the other day, we’ll all be glad when you beat this, or words to that effect. That single line resonates in me with a powerful voice, and I thank you for it Gary. Phrases akin to, you got this, go for it, you can do it etc etc, leave me cold. Americanised platitudes as shallow as a worms grave. Gary’s words however, touched my heart. I’ll never stop drinking because I don’t want to, I just don’t want to drink myself into an early grave.

I have attached a review of some of the current information available I have tried to be objective, based only on the research Some of which I also believe are wrong, especially regarding seed oils, but you have to build up the evidence for and against, then try to make an informed decision. I was going to post only here But reading some of the posts in the other groups, I have had to comment, because saying it is ok for everyone to do is bollocks.😠 I have added one reference to disordered eating - which could be the biggest negative of all. Before you consider a dry fast — the checklist Most of what gets shared in fasting groups is about how to do it. This is the part that comes first and decides whether it goes well. 1. Screen yourself out honestly. Don't do this at all if you have: type 1 diabetes · any cardiac rhythm or conduction disorder · renal impairment of any cause · a malignancy · thyrotoxicosis · liver cirrhosis or chronic hepatitis · a history of disordered eating · are pregnant or breastfeeding · are markedly underweight. Needs medical oversight, not a group challenge: type 2 diabetes · gout or kidney stones · gallstones · peptic ulcer · severe hypotension · coronary disease · over 70 or under 14. 2. Sort your medication before anything else. SGLT2 inhibitors, lithium, and the combination of an ACE inhibitor/ARB with a diuretic and an NSAID are the ones that turn this from risky into dangerous. With any glucose-lowering drug, a normal glucose reading is not reassuring — ketones are the measure. And answer the practical question in advance: how are you taking your tablets? 3. Get bloods while you still have time to act on them. U&Es (especially sodium), creatinine and eGFR, LFTs, FBC, glucose. Add urate if you're keto or carnivore, and phosphate and magnesium if you're planning anything multi-day. 4. Take a baseline you can measure against. Morning body mass on the same scales, after voiding, two or three days running. Sitting and standing blood pressure and pulse. Urine specific gravity if you can. Without a baseline, every number during the fast is meaningless.

I've lost access to a thread elsewhere where I documented my journey with retatrutide so I thought I'd continue it here. It should always have been here tbh because the success im having with it is completely down to the excellent advice I've had from the man , the myth the legend, @Shaun Womersley It's only fair that present and future members here get to see how much a suitably qualified and capable advisor, I recommend Shaun unequivocally, can steer you in the right direction. So I began April the 8th with the following stats Weight 95.6kg Waist 38" Chest 48" Arms 17 1/2 Leg 26 1/2 Today I'm at Weight 80kg Waist 33 3/4 Chest 46" Arms 16 3/4 Legs 24 1/4 Okay I've lost a little muscle it would appear, however I'm in replacement dose try during this , wheres before I was running test a little higher ( still within human ranges ) but using the old dbol so there would have been some bloat in the first set of measurements. I'm hugely happy with the progress on appearance as a now look like ( and am ) a relatively fit and in shape bloke not a beer monster. It's really effective stuff if you can get into the mindset to go low and slow ( I was a diva a out this to begin with admittedly) In hunger free , have great energy and feel great. Stop me before I start looking like Kelly Osbourne but at this point I can't recommend this stuff , and the big homie Shaun , enough. Now I'm going out sprinting. Which if I did it when I weighed 95 kg , I think my hooves might have fallen off Dose as per Shaun was 0.5 mg first two weeks to acclimatise , then 1mg and my personal choice was not to go higher as it's enough to tickle this fat loss along with zero side effects and it means I get ten weeks out of a ten mg vial which isn't bad for a life changing result ( less than a tenner a week for the source I used )
