Sometimes, yeah, and it's partially dependent on what you'd consider getting "better". Do you mean improving to a point where you can say "well, I'm not as sick as I was, and that's pretty nice" or...
I wouldn’t take any EO internally, aside from a drop of, say, lemon or cinnamon. Most of them are pretty caustic. Though, to tell you the truth, I have ingested them out of desperation. Granted, my...
I'd say I'm alright, aside from this. My doctor started me on the Byron White tinctures a few months ago, and I feel like they're super effective. I started with the one I felt provoked the biggest...
Responding to a line I caught in passing, it's not so much about what your body needs as it is what your body will accept. Better yet, it's about the degree to which can tolerate its responses to...
That’s funny, astroman; I’ve been on the most limited of ketogenic diets for the past year and a half. I live off of select meats, green vegetables, and oils. My carb intake is rarely more than...
I’ve heard of skin issues being an issue when dealing with TBI, but I’ve not experienced anything beyond very minor symptoms until now; I’ve developed what I think is seborrheic dermatitis on my...
I’m just doing the best I can with what’s left of me, years left and tolerance of mind. I really try to keep positive thoughts and go about building something more in my life, even if everything...
I’m a shitty nurse, working nights. I’d call myself fortunate, but I don’t know. I forced myself out the house and worked hard in school, despite my shortcomings, telling myself I’d fail all the...
Yes, I know this. I spent more time in my old room at my grandmother’s house than anyone sane, free person should ever. Years. I barely left the house. I barely showered. I barely did anything more...
Really, it sounds like adrenal involvement, and I feel like the more experienced users will chime in with as much. Now, it COULD be a herx, but my gut response was the former. But, what do I know?...
Sending off what love and energy I’m able. It’s a struggle, but you will keep on the path, and your strength will come to amaze you. You already know, it’s your health, not you. Life is worth it....
I have this, though I'm not sure it's to the same extremes. I'm adjusting the thermostat in my apartment, every couple of days, it seems, regardless of the external temperature. Sometimes, I'm dying...
It’s a rough life. There are days where I want to give up. All the time. Every day. I threaten suicide. I talk down to myself. It hurts. I know it’s not for the best, because positivity is...
Oregano, tea tree, cinnamon, and then blends like Thieves/On Guard, DDR Prime, and BioPure’s oils are some of the strongest I’ve used. Things like lemon, lavender, and peppermint are good for...
You reminded me of another symptom, borrelio: feeling as if part of my brain is going numb. It’s like a muscle cramp, albeit without the excruciating pain. I might try for testing when I’m able to...
I’ve been worried about getting tiny blood clots in my brain for the past few months. I feel like I’m stroking out sometimes. Sluggish lymph, biofilms, low blood pressure (not super, super low, but...
Yeah, I catch myself there all the time. I’m hard on myself about it. I’m the biggest bully when it comes to Antonio. It’s like all of you have said, it’s tough when you know there’s so much more to...
This is helpful. I’ve stopped taking them, as I’ve trouble timing them properly, and I feel it’s a waste of money taking them so close to food....
Interesting, Girlie. I’m not read on a lot of the pharmacological options you’ve used to treat, but I doubt they were all IV? If I’m right, your gut’s a blessing. It only serves to reinforce the...
Maybe it’s just me then? I don’t think I could get away with mixing with something like that. I’ve never dared them on an empty stomach. The best I could imagine is something that would coat the...
sierraDon, how do you prepare 2-3 cloves of garlic for consumption? Raw, you said, so there’s obviously no cooking involved, but do you dress them up somehow? It’s something I’d like to do, and have...
My brain cuts out. My body starts feeling numb. It’s like I forget how to breathe. I get so scared, feeling like there’s a block in my head that I have to overcome to jumpstart my lungs again....
Certainly, Hoagie! Just gotta throw all the pieces together, while keeping the rest of my life intact. You know how it goes! Good luck to everyone, and OP especially - did not mean to hijack the...
I knew not to trust it, yeah. I told and told her to request the ERMI (unsure if that particular company even offers it). I mentioned the possibility of doing it ourselves, but she wasn’t having it,...
This is a great opportunity to ask, I’m wondering if air samples are worth any time of day? I mean, even a little bit. My grandmother had testing done on her home. It had been water damaged, with the...
They recommend taking the Betaine HCL on an empty stomach. Admittedly, I skimmed, as I’m at a function, but did they address when meals come into play? It seemed the next step was taking probiotics....
It's sad, I don't even think like this anymore. I'm so used to it. I mean, I'm not used to feeling these ways. I never want to be. It sucks. But, rather in the sense that I'm not gonna get the "oh,...
Apologies for my outburst. Just one of those things. Blessings all around....
Mold sucks. It's real. I just got back from a month in the Philippines, and I'm falling apart. My sinuses feel swollen and inflamed. I have so much brain fog, irritability, rage. A constant drip from...
Google spreadsheet, search up timer apps, etc. Call me a fool, because I may be wrong, but there’s likely no wonder app. It’s just the amount of time and commitment you’re willing to invest into...
Does anything really work, beyond heavy antibiotics? I forget the technical term....
I’ve dealt with chronic constipation for years. I’m not sure what it is exactly: dysbiosis, one of the infections having a neuromuscular effect, etc. Take your pick. I’ve tried everything: various...
Thank you, everyone. You're appreciated, even if I cannot respond to everyone. Like much else in life, I'm just going to try and do my best, which means getting the composite fillings offered to me...
Good Lord, nothing is safe. I kind of just want to forget I was here. What would be better for my health, knowing the composites have unsightly additives themselves or lulling myself into blissful...
A quick Google had me believing it’s usually a mixture of metals. Though, I did ask, and she said there is mercury, so we’ve got that one pinned at least. It is a cost issue, yes. They’re cheaper,...
How do you guys feel about dental fillings? I’ve seen a fair amount of talk on the subject, with the majority saying they’d rather go without, but I need reinforcement, I guess. Heavy metals are a...
Would it be possible for you to work in an area of medicine that’s less intensive? I’ve willed myself through LPN school, because I need to in order to support myself and provide a better quality of...
Thank you 🙏...
That said, ChickenArise, would a person benefit from fogging their home with the appropriate materials and the addition of a high-quality air purifier without actually having remediation take place?...
I don't like fibromyalgia. Granted, I'm not saying it's not a "real" thing. I just feel like it's a blanket diagnosis for a wide variety of symptoms that could be caused by all of God knows what....
Keep updating us. I’m looking. This mold stuff is very interesting. I’ve been treating for years, and I haven’t made much progress, beyond some initial improvements. There are definite factors...
There’s a group on Facebook as well. “Bee Venon Therapy for Lyme Disease” is the name. It’s got like 7,000 members. I’ve joined, just in case I ever decide to travel that avenue. Often, I see people...
That site's cool, albeit a little overwhelming. Thanks for reminding me about it....
I’m going to the Philippines in May to visit my girlfriend’s hometown. We’re going to Palawan as well, which is lesser developed. Dengue is a thing there. I’ve been on backpacking groups on Facebook,...
Some of those symptoms sound like what's experienced with electrolyte imbalances. Also, you mentioned needing to eat sodium in combination with potassium. I can't explain the science, because I'm...
A deer tick. Oh God, looking at pictures gives me the crawlies. I'm obviously mindful of them, but a part of me definitely tries to repress my knowing of their existence. I'm running away now....
Part of me wants to call it coincidence, but I’ve had the Hamilton Beach unit running since Sunday, and I awoke this morning with a noticeable difference - less brain inflammation and better sense of...
I love eating. Sadly, I don't have many options related to certain pieces of my health situation. Though, what I can eat, I eat a lot of. Low-starch vegetables have become my best friends. They're...
I can’t wait to learn how to do all of this, when I have the room on my plate. Today must be an exceptionally moldy day, my sinuses are hurting....
Thank you for the response - very informative, and an enjoyable read. Simple, to the point. That's exactly why I willed myself out of the house and back into school: money to afford to do things like...
