Random questions on arginine/citrulline, DMSO, peptides, and others

Forgive the lengthy questions and many still to come probably. I’m still trying to put together a more comprehensive protocol for treatment as I have 1 year to do so as Ive been allowed to take LOA from school and want to go at it 100%

Have run across some topics that I found hard to get a consensus on and just curious to get some input.

Arginine/citrulline - is there a consensus on whether or not this is helpful? Ive read many opinions either way. Ive never had issues with shingles or anything else and used to use pre-workouts and NO boosters extensively. Planning on adding 2x 3g citrulline doses per day

DMSO - has anyone used DMSO as a ‘carrier’ for their extracts/tinctures? Thinking about using it with all the herbals while I have the time off work/away from people to avoid the smell

10 pass ozone - has anyone used 10 pass with success? I’m contemplating buying a machine for my LLMD with the condition that I get free treatments but not sure I want to drop the $10k yet.

IV extracts - this one is way off the wall but has anyone ever heard of using herbals via IV infusion? Not that extreme yet but it would be incredibly easy to sterilize and add them to a bag

Oxymatrine - I know it’s talked about a lot more in the world of ME/CFS and viral infections but has anyone used this for Lyme?

Ibudilast - anyone use this for neuroinflammation?

Peptides (LL37, TB500, thymosin alpha 1, etc) - has anyone used them for antimicrobial, immune boosting, or pro collagen properties?



Heavy metal testing- This is the testing I am least well versed in by far. Does anyone have any good resources on the best way to test for heavy metals? My current thought is urine challenge with EDTA but, like I said, not well versed in this yet and still looking. Probably the one thing besides SIBO that I haven’t actually had tested yet

I'm using Thymosin Alpha 1 with great success.

I wrote about it in the Thymus thread:

Ive used DMSO, for about three years. The one with the tree on the label does not smell as far as I can tell. The brands from the feed/farm store do smell.

I used it to help drive in other anti-inflammatory topicals (instant) and to break down hyper-fibrous muscle and tendons (months to years for improvement).

Nope.

The container I have (brand with the tree on it) does not smell either. The stuff at the farm store smells THROUGH the container.

Theres been others here who mention some brands dont smell.
