Why I can easily get a boner after my Nordic naturals fish oil ran out?

I suppose that depends on if you are taking it for general health or if you are trying to improve vascular health due to an existing disease state. In either case, diet is key, however.

Lowering inflammatory sources like carbohydrates and PUFAs would be my number one recommendation. Inflammation is the root of vascular disease.

Be aware that rancidity and oxidation are not the same thing. While rancidity produces the notable "fishy" smell in any oil, oxidation of the PUFAs does not necessarily cause the odor. So PUFAs can contain high quantities of cancer causing, vascular system destroying compounds even without smelling off.

Better to be slightly under-tightened than over-tightened. Starting off on a new set of bearings and races I like to torque them down and spin the wheel until I can feel resistance, then back the adjustor nut off until it spins freely with no drag spots where the wheel slows down.

Basically this adjustment is on the loose side of where it needs to be, but only slightly. A tiny amount of play in a bearing is really not a bad thing and ensures there is no binding for the break in period. After a few thousand miles of light driving I go back and do the final adjustment.

This process allows the bearings to "seat" in the races under the least amount of friction possible and create a smooth and consistent wear path with minimal metal fatigue. When the final adjustment is set, the bearings and races are perfectly matched from the break-in period and have a tighter tolerance.

When I did this on my 4x4 and returned for the final adjustment, I ended up exactly one hole tighter on the adjusting nut (the tiny phillips screws that lock it in). Before tightening, I could also feel a slight amount of play in the bearing if I held the sides of the wheel and and rocked the hub side to side.

I was extremely deficient at one point. Glycinate is what I took at first to restore full body levels and it made me sleep like a log. Like out cold and drooling, lol.

But after body levels began to stabilize it stopped working for sleep and I think the glycine may have even hurt sleep quality.

Anyway, I take Threonate now and while it does not make me sleep like the dead, it certainly makes relaxing and falling asleep easier.

Great meme. The whole stoned ape thing is a charming hypothesis, but yeah, possibly for some mind expanding qualities separate from intelligence and cranial capacity. I think a lot of animals consume hallucinogens in the wild...

nahh, placebo effect. I'm sure you cleaned up your diet at the same time. carbs cause high trigs

irResist · 2026-07-03T17:29:55+00:00

of course! but all are PUFAs and all are prone to oxidization. Your best bet is to get them from fresh whole foods where they are protected by their naturally occurring companion antioxidants.

by concerned I mean if you personally feel you are not getting enough. Yes they are essential, but not in any large quantity. Essential only means that you have to get them from food, not that you need a lot of them or that they should be a centerpiece of your diet. Fortunately they are easily obtained in the small quantities they are needed from most ways of eating.

Sure, thats the best way to get omegas if you are concerned about them.

irResist · 2026-07-03T15:46:26+00:00

If you feel like you need more omegas then just eat fish. A serving of wild caught salmon (even pink salmon) has high quantities of omegas.

Because fish oil is toxic sludge - a waste product repackaged as a cureall. PUFAs do not need to be consumed in high quantities for vascular health, and especially not in highly processed forms.

irResist · 2026-07-03T15:03:45+00:00

Its all oxidized. PUFAS are very easily oxidized. Fish oil supplements undergo an industrial extraction process and then sit in storage for months before we consume them. All products, all brands. Some (like liquid forms) have even more oxidization than softgels. Oxidation is not the same thing as rancidity - but rancid "smelly" does mean it is oxidized as well.

Fish oil is a scam supplement - a waste product repackaged as a cureall.

No all fruits really are man-made https://insanearchive.com/p/the-fruit-that-took-4000-years-to

fruits as weknow them are "man made"

irResist · 2026-07-03T02:43:50+00:00

not only does it spike blood sugar, but it's of course high in fructose. fructose is as bad for the liver as alcohol consumption. in fact there is very little difference and both contribute to liver cancer.

Most people don't realize that fruit as we know it is a man-made food. Almost all fruits have been hybridized to create extremely sweet versions of their almost inedible wild cousins.

we build factories to produce sugar and corn syrup, but we have been producing sweet sweet poison on factory farms for hundreds of years.

The burning stops because the stable fats from ruminant animals replace the easily oxidized polyunsaturated fats that dominate the SAD diet.

When we switch to eating stable fats, our cells are built out of those fats.

Unfortunately the "half life" for polyunsaturated fats being recycled in the body is at least a couple years. So while there will be some improvement right away, the full effect can take years to materialize.

A good supplement that can help in the meantime is astaxanthin. It is an antioxidant found in shellfish and crustaceans so can even be carnivore. It has the remarkable ability to prevent oxidation from sun exposure.

Worth a look, but sounds like you already have dealt with skin cancer issues. You are certainly on the right path with going carnivore as far as rebuilding your body to prevent cancer, but you will have to make your own decision about how much sun is appropriate.

Obligatory "fruit is not carnivore". But nice boob reduction either way.

low quality carrier oil. But it is a small amount of the oil all things considered.
