Doctors choosing to be ignorant to the possibility that a patient can be more informed on a topic than they are in the internet age is laughable. Yes, you may have been to med school, how long ago?...
Mine always went away after one drainage. Time to heal varied by size of them. You need enough time for all the fluids to drains before it can scab over....
I have crohn's not UC but I had chronic perianal absesses, they always went away once drained. Then I had abscesses in both arm pits, they only went away with dietary changes. Now I'm getting boils...
I just crunched some numbers. To run the dose I'm looking at on his site of 12,000mg tyrosine daily, 1200mg 5-htp + 6 cysreplete equivalent I can bulk buy off amazon and run it at $90 / mo. Bulk...
Interesting, I've never had blood or mucous as a result, even from disastrously failed experiments. Last night after my pill stop I started on a dose of 1500/150 mid day +1 mucuna. I still felt...
How many milligrams does that tbs of tyrosine amount to? Yeah I can't help but feel that he's not finished learning about this therapy himself. Like we saw with Mark, and Dr Stein himself says, the...

I don't know much about cholestyramine admittedly. Taurine didn't work for me but it's worth a try, psyllium husks and low to zero sugar diet worked pretty darn good. I can cheat on it with psyllium...

Maaaaaaybe someone here can answer this or direct me to somewhere that can. I'm taking L-Cysteine on my own volition to attempt amino-acid therapy. After reading from some sources that NAC is more...
