Eric has discussed power drive before asp.elitefts.com/qa/default.asp?qid=75624&tid= I have used a similar product by myprotein.co.uk called Zoned, which has phos serine instead of phos choline, which is more effective for fast oxidisers / parasympathetics, and acetyl-l-tyrosine, which is a far more potent form of tyrosine, and ginkgo biloba, which i can attest in my expereince is an amazing herb for focusing. It also contains DMAE, but its not the focal point of the product. Unfortunately, it does also contain a small amount of sucralose.

Tee trea oil can be absorbed through the skin, so potentially clients coudl recive the estrogenic effect through contact with surfaces scrubbed with tea tree oil, although in reality the effect is likely to be negligable. Good ol sodium sesquicarbonate (i.e Borax substitute) and sodium bicarbonate (i.e baking soda) woudl be good and can be bought in bulk dirt cheap - any of the sodium carbonates are good disinfectants.

I was under the impression magnesium is a no-no for fast oxidisers and parasympathetics?

Their toothpastes and mouthwashes are good - i use them. Thier deodorants often contain tea tree oil which is significantly estrogenic, so i avoid them, and i use PitRok deodorant stick isntead.

I haven't gotten a flu shot since my teens and I'm just fine. My delirium and dementia are mere character traits. I use colloidal silver from November through February every year. Bud, is the colloidal silver specifically for preventing flu, or is it for jsut bolstering the immune system in general?

Eric, i know you used to use Hlosync to assist meditation. I am trying to get into meditation to help my adrenal recovery, but im having problems having the patience to sit and meditate because i am one of these types that fidgets and gets impatient quickly, so im wondering if the holosync CD's would help. Are they worth it? Whilst reading a review on Holosync, this site www.begin2dig.com/2009/09/b2d-articles-about-z-health-what-is-it.html also discussed a recovery and mobility modality called Z-Health www.zhealth.net/. Have you heard of it? T-nation interviewd one of the founders a while back and it sounded quite interesting. www.tmuscle.com/free_online_article/sports_body_training_performance_interviews/djm_training Guys like Eric Cressey and Dan John have mentioned it in the past. EDIT: since spending some time looking at binaural beat CD's, it seems Holosync are a bit of a rip off. A much cheaper binaural beats package i've seen are the CD's produced Immrama Institute, which have good reviews. I also found an alternative brainwave entrainment technology to binaural beats called ‘isochronic tones’. This technology doesn’t require earphones because it doesn’t rely on differential frequencies in each ear, and apparently there is research to show that isochronic tones penetrate deeper into the sub consciousness than binaural beats to produce more pronounced brainwave effects. I cant really find a lot of commercial packages on it. The only one at a quick glance is OptiMINDzation. There seems to be a lot of free isochronic tracks on the web. I cant seem to get a definitive answer on whether isochronic tones produce better results than binaural beats. Some reviewers suggest if binaural beats don’t work for you, then isochronic tones might be better.

Cheers for the offer on the di-potassium phosphate Eric, i might take you up on that offer if you feel it is quite effective for maintaining power during long Sheiko sessions ... ?
Thanks for the interview link Mike. Just listened to it and was v. interesting. Eric, you seem to suggest the anabolic foods are more important before training, but i have been emphasising them after training. Should i re-arrange my pre- and post-workout nutrition to emphasise more anabolic foods pre?
My pre- and post-workout nutrition is:
Pre: 1 boiled duck eggs, 100g tempeh and a pear.
Immediately PWO: 1 banana and a whey hydrolysate shake. I'm going to replace the hydrolysate with colostrum, which is higher in fat, and also chuck some coconut flour in.
1 hour PWO: 1 boiled duck egg, 80g raw rochefort chese, 30g mushrooms, all steamed, on top of some raw spinach + watercress and topped with a large knob of organic, free range butter.
During training, once i have the di-potassium phosphate, i will add in a custom-made training drink. Based upon Eric's Q&A discussions on EliteFTS, which i will quote here:
"to 20 ounces of purified water, add 4 teaspoons of dextrose, plus 1/8 teaspoon of Celtra Salt, plus 1/32 teaspoon of di-potassium phosphate. An athlete can drink this throughout the longest and most demanding athletic competition without the need to drink additional water to maintain hydration and have confidence that electrolytes are being replaced in perfect proportion"
My only concern is that dextrose might cause problems for a parasympathetic fast oxidiser like myself. Perhaps just remove that ingredient?

Consuming that much dairy in one go is overkill and enough to make alot of people sick. Dairy is highly allergenic for alot of people these days, and although raw dairy is the best poss. option, even too much of that is going to do you in IMO.
With regards to red meat, have you tried a variety of red meats? Pork and beef are suprisingly allergenic in alot of people, but lamb, and game meats like venison, bison, buffalo, etc seem to be fine. Personally, if i eat alot of beef i get problems, but i can eat lots of lamb without any problems. The same goes with chicken, yet with duck i am fine.

OK Eric. I'm not using it at the moment as i dont want to complicate things with the adrenal recovery supplements you've got me on.

di-potassium phosphate is near impossible to get in less-than-industrial quantities in the UK. Are there any substitutes that can be used for this ingredient?

Cheers Eric. I found a similar shower head from a UK site - it is basically a combination vitamin C + sediment filter. I cant quite find the link at the mo but i will post it when i find it again.
BTW, a really easy way to de-chlorinate (free and bound chlorine) the water when having a bath is to buy some bulk ascorbic acid powder (vitamin C) dirt cheap in your local health store and dump about tablespoon into a full bath and let it disolve for a few minutes.

The brand i used was the myprotein.co.uk rhodiola rosea capsules www.myprotein.co.uk/capsules-tablets-softgels/health-and-well-being/rhodiola-rosea/. I was taking 2 in the morning. The only negative i can think of was the same as any other adaptogen - in that, when you come off of it, you notice a bit of a drop in energy and performance. The only other things iwas using at the time was a multivitamin, vitamin C, and acetyl-l-carnitine. Al lthings i had been using long before i tried RR.

With respect to the last part of the OP question, I think he means what kind of GPP should be done on the Sheiko workout day

I fitted a decent reverse osmosis unit in our kitchen a while back because of concerns over the crap in UK water, and am very happy with it - the water tastes lovely and is totally pure.
However, after reading some Mercola articles i became aware that drinking water is not the only way you can get crap into your body through the fluids you absorb - skin is also another medium for this, esp. when you bath or shower.
I've been looking around for some decent filters to use for my shower and bath, but i dont really know what i'm looking for. Activated carbon filters are effective for removing about 80-90% chlorine, but only in cold water and are easily clogged by dirt. KDF, another de-chlorination filter, removes chlorine, but does not remove chloramines – these filters are affected by water pressure and water quality. I have heard that vitamin C filters are quite good, because they neutralize chlorine AND chloramines in your water, and work well in hot water, and give you the added health benefit of a nice big dose of topical Vitamin C!

I listen to SuperHumanRadio alot - they've had some fascinating interviews on there in the past about stuff like raw diary, paleo dieting, raw foods, the history of weightlifting / bodybuilding, the cancer-fighting effects of herbs like ginger, etc. Some of the adverts and music leave a bit to be desired though This was a really good interview Eric. Your discussion on how pH changes are fundamental, and the fact that there is no universal acidifying / alklaizing effect of specific foods (you use protein powders as a good example) because its which FHC that is dominant will determine this. This is a really difficult concept for alot of people to get their heads around, because alot of people constantly hear about how we are too acidic and we should all alkalize, and that meats will ALWAYS acidify, and vegetables will ALWAYS alakalize. MT totally throws this out of the window, and that really irks alot of so called 'professionals'. Also, i think your example about a supposed superfood like broccoli potentially not being good for everyone is really going to shock alot of people. They wont twig the fact that the micronutrient profile in something like broccoli maybe totally wrong for certain persons metabolic imbalances. You stated that most of the strength athletes you work with are Para or Fast Ox dominant? Aside from perhaps genetic predospositions, Do you think that this could be the type of training that does this? I'm starting to see a trend that the more a person stress their nervous system (such as with heavy / fast lifting), the more thier sympathetic ANS shuts down leaving the Parasympathetic ANS 'in the driving seat', and also their Oxidative metabolism speeds up to meet the stress demand.past.
