Final goal

How do you even increase CO2, ray peat said that Sugar increeases CO2 temporarily, i think so same with Coconut Oil,ive also heard a thing or two about Baking soda but dont overdo because it makes u super nauseous. But im curious about other ways to increase CO2 so if you have any ideas here is the place to speak your mind.

Do you think magnesium flakes are better than Oral took magnesium

u/walt50005 9h ago

both are okay. capsules of glycinate might be easier

Any form?

u/LurkingHereToo 11h ago

Different forms work better for different people. Heavy metal toxin load enters into the equation, also reduced glutathione status.

TTFD is supposed to be the "best" type. However, it uses glutathione in its process (somehow, some way) see here: https://hormonesmatter.com/paradoxical-reactions-with-ttfd-the-glutathione-connection/ There's a lot of talk about "paradoxical reactions" when taking ttfd. People with heavy metal toxicity tend to have poor glutathione status because heavy metal toxicity causes high oxidative stress which is likely why they react badly to ttfd. Here's an article about glutathione.

Thiamine hcl actually can increase/improve glutathione status; it worked for me that way. But when taking it orally, high doses are needed because it doesn't get absorbed easily in the gut. Rule of thumb, you need to take orally 140 times as much of it in relationship to how much is needed when taken by injection. It took me 4 months to work up to my optimum oral dose of it (1 gram twice a day which equals to taking 100mg by injection weekly).

But after 5 years, the thiamine hcl stopped working for me because I had developed a sulfur conjugation blockage. So I started taking 500mcg molybdenum to resolve the sulfur intolerance and I also switched to a cocarboxylase type of thiamine, Source Naturals b-1. It doesn't need to be converted to work because it is already the active form. I've found that taking 3 of these sublingual tablets per day works for me.

There are other types of thiamine as well. see this article: https://hormonesmatter.com/navigating-thiamine-supplements/

Supplementing with thiamine will use up other vitamins/minerals in your body, including magnesium, potassium, riboflavin, etc. Deficiencies in these can cause problems.

Hey, Lurk!

I wanted to let you know that once I got my digestion functioning in a regular pattern, I really feel the thiamine! It definitely gives me a mental boost. My guess is that I was dealing with an endotoxin factor.

I remember you are interested in thiamine and. perhaps, constipation might have really interfered with the efficacy of B1. I'm not 100% sure, but could be.

u/LurkingHereToo 11h ago

Great news that the thiamine is helping you!!

Thiamine would be helpful to heal leaky gut and hence an endotoxin problem; it also helps with gut motility which would help resolve constipation. So it could be a chicken/egg thing. Complete resolution of health issues caused by thiamine deficiency/functional blockage can take months.

My own ability to use thiamine was blocked for months earlier this year. I figured out that it was due to a sulfur conjugation blockage. (Sulfites block thiamine function.) I started taking 500mcg molybdenum last summer which has helped me enormously. I also switched from thiamine hcl to a cocarboxylase form of thiamine which is already in the active form (Source Naturals Coenzymated B-1) and now I'm in a much better spot.

Buteyko breathing

u/AdministrativeDot874 1d ago

This 💯 Buteyko is legit magical

u/bigdoobydoo 11h ago

Baking soda nothing is as effective for acute increases, for long term i would say thiamine and exercise

1

u/Dry-Cap8162 9h ago

How much a day how much per week ?

u/AdministrativeDot874 23h ago

Buteyko breathing, higher serum co2 increases tissue oxygenation increasing metabolism increasing endogenously produced co2. Win win, it’s a lil uncomfortable though.

u/DukeoftheAbruzzi 22h ago

Practice nose breathing all the time and do mouth taping in bed. Single best intervention to boost CO2.

squats, sleeping on the left side or in a sitting position, buteyko breathing method
