i have 6 root canals and i hope to do something about them but i don’t know if i can afford it or the implants and if i don’t get implants i don’t think i will be able to eat. the thing is the IBS definitely went away 100% with oil pulling but the oil pulling its self is causing me really bad symptoms of depression, fatigue and brain fog when i do it with coconut oil. im not sure if its a detox reaction and probably partially is but i want to try different oils. i don’t think olive oil caused this depression but it caused really bad herpes outbreaks in my nose and i think it also ca ...

Best way is to just buy straight up Niacin. Its works about twice as well as inositol hexinicotate.

yea i my self don’t supplement Calcium although i used to. i found that once i added 10,000 iu of vitamin A to my regimen i no longer needed calcium. vitamin A and D work synergistic and one doesn’t work very well with out the other. vitamin D is responsible for calcium uptake but it only really works if u have enough vitamin A. then u need the K2 to direct the calcium where to go and to keep it from being deposited in unwanted places including the heart.   [End]

When that happened what did u do to reduce the selenium in your body and how long did it take for u to return to normal? Also how much selenium were u taking and for how long?

as for the benzo withdrawal i’v got that covered like crazy. i’v spent so much time researching (in addition to what i learned from my doctor) suppliments, vitamins, minerals, nutrients i think i’v got it down real well that i don’t think i’m really suffering much from the withdrawal anymore. before i started up on this wakame again i was actually doing pretty well. i was sleeping way more then before and was pretty calm. now this detox hit me like a truck and i didn’t even know what the heck was going on. as for the iodine hitting harder they say wakame seaweed can have in it ...

well i wasn’t eating it to do a detox so quitting the wakame was what i was planning on doing next. but now that i’v read more and given it more thought if i’m having such a strong detox reaction then i should probably just continue detoxing with iodine and not use Wakame cause from what i read here and heard now on a radio interview it could be contaminated with all the things that people r trying to detox from anyway. so i’l probably continue to detox even though i didn’t start this detox intentionally but i’m going to have to learn more and do it more slowly by what i assume wou ...

hi, i started eating wakame seaweed cause i realized i was having hypothyroid symptoms on and off for the last few years but never thought anything of it cause i thought it was symptoms of benzodiazapine withdrawal. i have had really cold feet and hands and just totally knocked out many days. certain suppliments stopped working like NAC, Theanine, Rhodiola and would trigger all these symptoms really strong. like if i would take NAC my feet would turn to ice and my head would feel like a million pounds. after making the connection and after eating seaweed on and off for the last ...

i have low stomach acid and i went to c my doctor last week. my liver enzymes were high along with a few other issues. basically the doc said to take betaine HCL and enzymes. i asked him if i should or could do a juice fast and told him i’d be willing to do it if i should. he didn’t suggest it himself but he seemed to think it was a good idea and when i asked him how long i should do it for he said 7 days. what i want to ask here is; does juice fasting help with low stomach acid? every where i search on google or cure zone with the terms low stomach acid, Hypochlorhydria, or Ach ...

hi, i’v been having a terrible time digesting fats and proteins. it seems to be worse for fats and when i eat a high fat meal i become wrecked and completely useless (proteins aren’t that much better). so when i posted this problem on another forum (which was primarily about lecithin) i was told i might have low stomach acid. so i got some Betaine HCL with Pepsin which really helps but since as i understand its for protein i have not been taking it with carb meals with high fats and taking ox bile and lipase instead but that does not seem to help to much and i get stuck with this food ...

ok so 2 tablespoons of whey protein not lecithin. so thats not really similar cause lecithin is fat and whey is protein. i did get some betine HCL and boy i have to take a lot of it to feel that burning sensation. 6.5 grams is when i get that hot feeling in my stomach so this really must be the problem. currently i take magesium taurate but not so much cause i make a lot of vegitable juice mostly with cucumbers and that has a lot of magnesium in it. if i take the magnesium taurate with the vegetable juice its instant diarrhea so i only take supplemental magnesium if i limit my ve ...

this is interesting and i think it is low HCL but what causes low HCL? u take 2 teaspoons of lecithin with vegitable juice which is half of a tablespoon and i’m taking 3 so its about 6 times as much. i’m going to buy some betain HCL and c if that helps but i have a feeling this is the issue. i can’t do a water fast and i did a liver flush last wensday but it didn’t help in this issue. my health situation is to fragile and i have to take my vitamins to support me through the ordeal of benzodiazapine withdrawal. when i don’t take my vitamins and suppliments (including lecithin) thing ...

i’v been having a very hard time digesting lecithin (as well as other fats which i think is secondary to the lecithin problem). it all started when i went to my doctor over a bunch of problems i had been having with my potassium levels going to high and then to low and my mind was getting numb. my blood test results showed that my total cholesterol both LDL and HDL were very low. i told him i had been taking about 10 grams of lecithin granules with every meal and he told me that it had lowered all my cholesterol and i had to reduce my intake to 1 tablespoon a day. the problem wi ...

hi, does chlorophyll bind to copper and detox it from the body? i c all these preparations with 4 mg copper per 100 mg chlorophyll in them and read people taking pretty high amounts at once some taking chlorophyll 4 times a day which would be 16 mg of copper a day. for most people 4mg of copper is the max in a day and if somebody was taking 4 doses a day that would be 16 mg of copper which i think would put most people in a hospital making them very sick or dead. if chlorophyll binds to copper then it would just stay stuck to the chlorophyll and come out in urine. but then would the chl ...
