Managing Bacterial Endotoxin (LPS)
Endotoxin from intestinal bacteria increases during gut permeability and stress, burdening the liver and worsening thyroid hormone conversion. It synergizes with serotonin and estrogen, perpetuating inflammation and hormonal imbalance.
Strategies to reduce endotoxin effects include:
- Consuming easily digestible foods (favoring sugars over starches and fiber).
- Including raw carrot daily for its antibacterial and antifungal properties.
- Bamboo shoots, boiled white button mushrooms,
- In extreme cases microdosing Penicillin or Minocycline
- Penicillin - take 50mgs, 2-3 times a day with a carrot, for 3-4 days or until I don't feel it's relaxing effects.
- Supporting a high metabolic rate to improve gut integrity and liver detoxification.
- Activated charcoal, flowers of sulfur, carrot salad, bamboo shoots, boiled white button mushrooms
"PUFA (e.g., fish oil) worsens absorption, inflammation, and toxicity; saturated fats like coconut oil protect against it. Avoid starches/oats/potatoes that feed bacteria; favor raw carrots, bamboo shoots, milk, fructose, fruit/cheese to suppress growth, reduce serotonin/estrogen, boost metabolism/thyroid, and enhance longevity/stress resistance. Niacinamide aids protection." - Ray Peat
“The intestine is a potential source of reabsorbed estrogen, and a daily raw carrot (grated or shredded, with a little olive oil, vinegar, salt) helps to lower excess estrogen (and endotoxin produced by bacteria” - Ray Peat
"Considering the longevity and stress-resistance of germ-free animals, choosing foods (such as raw carrots or cooked bamboo shoots or cooked mushrooms) which accelerate peristalsis and speed transit through the bowel, seems like a convenient approach to increasing longevity." - Ray Peat[1]
Detoxing PUFA
You CAN detox PUFA WITHOUT lipolysis via a process called Glucuronidation, where Glucuronic acid is conjugated with PUFA in the liver and subsequently excreted by intestines or bladder
