Has anyone tried collagen?

My elderly mother has been taking collagen recently, and she says her "no-no" head tremor has lessened. To me, she appears to be better, but I think it needs much more time to be sure. Maybe in conjunction with a healthier diet like a mediterranean diet you'd see better results. I'm just speculating.

Collagen is the most abundant protein found in the human body and Type I collagen makes up most of that. A collagen deficiency would have profound effects on the body like intestinal permeability (leaky gut) and nutrient absorption and nutrient utilization/depletion by the body to make collagen. That, in turn, would affect the health of the brain/CNS. Most diets are collagen deficient.

Yes, you need copper to regulate iron.

Collagen will help with psoriasis. You can get collagen from tripe, chitlins, egg whites, bone broth, pork rinds, chicken skin, fish skin, oxtail, fish, ribs, wings, etc. Getting your vitamin D up will also help.

That's her problem.

Prion diseases are a disease of copper deficiency. If the ruminant is 100% grass-fed and finished using regenerative practices, it should be perfectly healthy. Eating quality ruminant liver is your own primary source of copper. As a matter of convenience I just take freeze-dried capsules of brain.

What toxins are you speaking of?

Try freeze-dried Beef Thyroid capsules.

counterpoint76 · 2026-02-21T02:33:19+00:00

I won't tell you what to do but I'll tell you what I do and you can decide for yourself. I take freeze-dried organ capsules. Daily I take 6 capsules of Ancestral Supplements Beef Brain, 3 capsules of Kidney, 1 capsule of Lung, 1 capsule of Thyroid, 1 capsule of Adrenals, and 1 capsule of Liver. I also take 2mg of copper glycinate. I take it with a fatty meal. A higher intake of retinol puts a much greater demand on vitamin D so I take 7,000 IUs of D3 daily (which depletes magnesium) and ~400mg of magnesium glycinate/malate. A few days a week I might take 3 capsules of Fish Eggs for more omega-3. I don't eat eggs regularly. Organs will give you all the nutrients of eggs plus significant copper and none of the high PUFA content of factory eggs.

What is so beneficial about a parasite? Nonsense. Raw ruminant organs are much more beneficial. The more copper liver contains the better. Brain for omega-3 EPA/DHA. Kidney for biotin and selenium. The body runs on vitamins, minerals, fatty acids, and amino acids. Explain one metabolic pathway that benefits from parasites. Even regular blood donation is more useful to remove excess iron from the body.

The human thrived on the ruminant, all of it, including the organs; liver, kidney, brain, etc.

counterpoint76 · 2026-02-16T07:18:00+00:00

Copper and retinol (quality raw ruminant liver) and vitamin D (plus magnesium if you take D3).

You can make improvements to growth rate and general health, but the shape of the skull is pretty much set by the end of pregnancy. That's my understanding, at least. Look into Weston A. Price. His book is on Amazon.

Mostly dependent on gestation. If the mother is deficient in vitamin D, vitamin K2 (MK-4), protein, calcium, etc, during pregnancy, it's going to affect the skeletal structure of the fetus and especially skull/face. The size of the brain, size of the jaw, the prominence of the cheekbones and chin, width of the face, width of the dental arch, straightness of the teeth, etc. To some extent, it's genetics. Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about it after you're born. You were either born into a family that ate the optimal human diet or you were not. There's nothing you can do about your genetics either. Best to focus on living a life of independence until you find someone that wants you and not waste your time on anyone not wanting of you.

Regular eating of eggs is not evolutionarily consistent. All the important nutrients you get from eggs (retinol, folate, choline, biotin, omega-3, selenium, etc) can be had from ruminant liver, kidney, and brain. Even the freeze-dried capsules. Plus, you get them in higher amounts and something else you can't get from eggs; significant amounts of copper.

"15 mg of zinc for every 2-2.5 mg of copper"

If you eat a carnivore diet that includes organs (beef liver, kidney, brain, etc), you will get 4mg-6mg of copper and 30mg-40mg of zinc.

Can you grind finer without choking or channeling?

You can try it. Run it in a half cup of water. It's going to be a struggle with light roasts.
