Finally, our greatest assets are fresh water, reasonably sound institutions, a creaking but functional green energy infrastructure, our creative and diverse populace, and a resurgent indigenous culture. I'm more worried by soil loss than a few billionaries pissing off to the Caymans tbh. [Ends]

With the OAT, may I suggest the one from Mosaic Diagnostics, as this one has a lot of markers and is relatively common in the ME & LC community (helpful to compare and get support)

My understanding is that the ideal TSAT is about 40, and if it's a lot lower you may have a functional iron deficiency; and yes the body can sequester iron away from pathogens (e.g. can be a reason for high ferritin).

One key part of the Krebs cycle is NAD+ (active B3). You need Manganese and Biotin to convert Pyruvate to Oxaloacetate (if your experiment works, you may have a deficiencies there). Have you checked your iron levels (including transferrin saturation)?

I would suggest doing an Organic Acids Test (OAT) to look for blockages in each step of the Krebs cycle. If you push in oxaloacetate, and the itaconate pathway is active (to suppress pathogens), then you may get (more) pile up at Succinate.

Damn 😞

Students horrified by this who attend a protest may find themselves on their university's radar (or much, much worse). Speakers whose slides mention the deaths of humanitarian workers have their invitations rescinded. We can know about these atrocities, but we cannot speak of them. How obscene.
