It's ironic how everyone wants to appear reasonable yet they support blatant personal attacks by their lack of inaction. Obviously people are going to have different opinions on things. That isn't...
Sorry greenuc, I misread what you said. It does seem that one master antioxidant can replace all others, but until (if/when) it becomes available, we have to take a combo....
Mike, you mentioned that taking SOD made your UC worse. I don't necessarily think it's because it converted too much superoxide to hydrogen peroxide, although that is one possibility. SOD has to be...
I think any patient on any protocol, whether it's conventional medicine or something else, will benefit from this research. All UC patients should be increasing their antioxidant intake in the form...
There is no point in talking about mesalamine or other 5-ASAs. Although they have a mild antioxidant function, it is insufficient for a lot of UC sufferers because the action is topical. 5-ASAs do...
My profile email address is now visible. Please write to me if you'd like to be added to the off-site discussion group. I am not marketing any product, I'm just a patient who wants to have this...
Dr. Pravda's latest study, release date is August 21, 2022: https://www.wjgnet.com/1007-9327/full/v28/i31/4263.htm...
What evidence do you have to support this claim?...
To those interested, I have created a new Google Spaces group where we can discuss Dr. Pravda's reductive theory of disease in peace, without personal attacks. His latest study was posted today:...
So steve gets to call me VanQuack and you guys see nothing wrong with it. No more evidence is needed for which way this forum leans....
Good to know about NAC. Butyrate in general is promoted with whole grains. I'm still combing through Pravda's paper. So far it looks very promising. Can't wait to discuss it more with those willing....
You were already dubious, so colour me shocked. Feel free to disregard his findings and not invest yourself at all in the theory because of petty observations on study design. I've been in remission...
Oh I'm not going anywhere. You won't shut me up. I'm here to stay. I'm just creating another group so we can talk in peace without people coming in to make personal attacks. People need to know...
Serenity Now, I agree with you in terms of the bigger picture. For those of us who are refractory and need help now, this paper is a goldmine. And because his previous paper already gave me...
Ok, so on first glance, it looks like RDLA (R-dihydrolipoic acid) is more important than I suspected, and the paper actually confirms what I thought which is that the ALA on the market makes UC...
The fact that the mods let this kind of behaviour run amok on these forums, with their only strategy being to shut down whole discussions, is a black mark on this forum. Without real consequences to...
You didn't even read the study, steve. Do you know how hard it is to get into the journal of GI? Furthermore, can you stop trolling the thread in question with your utter stupidity and meanness? Show...
I just received the notification. I'll be reading the paper carefully and making comments later. It will take me at least several hours to comb through the preliminaries, and days to have a full...
Wow... comparing the thread about a peer reviewed study with testimonials being compared to people who drink piss. You guys have lost all credibility. We're done here....
I wasn't accusing you of locking it. Whomever did, they did so without warning. I understand that editing is sometimes not the most feasible way, but I have not seen this method used ever, not once....
Camu is very bitter and it is also very high in vitamin C. You need to start small and work your way up. That would be true of any vitamin C supplement. I personally can't take more than 1000mg of...
iPoop, why don't the mods prune threads of offending posts, instead of locking the entire thread? Why does everyone get punished for the actions of a few? This policy creates a vulnerability in...
I also contacted GeroNova because they had a history of carrying DHLA but I got a similar response. My sense is that if DHLA is so important, there would be a market presence for it already. The fact...
This is the kind of low caliber comment I have come to expect from the usual suspects. Finding one single error in an entire post that was good hearted so that you can make fun of somebody . I was...
I believe hydrogen peroxide is the root cause of UC, but I also say that we need to wait for the next peer reviewed article to come out to have a better idea. I'm allowed to state my strong beliefs...
It is probably DHLA. ALA seems to make UC worse, I can attest to that. You're right though, there's no DHLA on the market, even by custom compounding. I haven't been able to find it. So I don't know...
It depends on the antioxidant and how it's delivered, but usually it's topical + local (system). Whatever we ingest goes through the liver so we are probably reducing hydrogen peroxide there which...
I can't really give you medical advice about your period as I'm not a doctor, but curcumin can definitely thin blood so maybe that had something to do with it. Sulforaphane should be started slowly....
Look, another one....
Oh look, another trolling call-out thread by the usual suspects. Not surprised whatsoever. You guys should be totally ashamed of yourselves for bashing the attempts of people to try and get well and...
You can ultimately do what you feel you need to do, but if you haven't consulted complimentary medicine, then you haven't tried everything. I know someone who has had UC for 21 years and she recently...
Not in a long time. Taking NAC pushes glutathione production, but that glutathione then needs to be reduced in order to deal with hydrogen peroxide. In people with UC whose reducing capacity is...
Specifically, it can inhibit the conversion of iron to hemoglobin over the long-term. It makes hemoglobin sub-optimal (like 10-15 points below normal), but doesn't go too low. I've always found that...
Dr. Pravda doesn't recommend any supplements, just FYI. This protocol is one that I came up with, based on his research and experimenting on myself. It is a work in progress. The stuff mentioned in...
Your supplement stack is interesting. It has fewer antioxidants than I am using, but you still have some good ones. You may have to do what I did and experiment with adding different ones. Now that...
DMSO is great for many things but it's an aprotic solvent so it doesn't release protons. In other words it has no pH. Therefore it has no activity against hydrogen peroxide. I agree with you that...
The supplements I mentioned are what they are. For example, curcumin is curcumin, rutin is rutin, sulforaphane is sulforaphane. So you have to find products that contain these. I'm sorry you are...
Pravda didn't invent oxidative stress theory, but he discovered that the root cause of UC is hydrogen peroxide. Which antioxidants did you try, at what doses, and for how long?...
I came across fullerenes in my research but I am not totally convinced that they enter the cells, despite the hype and what the companies are saying. They have compounded them in fats like olive oil...
UV increases the superoxide problem at the end of the electron transport chain. UV splits oxygen quite readily. That leads to more hydrogen peroxide production. I have noticed the same thing over...
Here is the link to the previous thread that contains all of the information already discussed: https://www.healingwell.com/community/default.aspx?f=38&m=4294184&p=13 I've also made a copy of all the...
I will no longer be engaging with the usual suspects unless they are directly talking about Dr. Pravda's theory. Personal attacks on me will have entire posts ignored. Don't mix scientific inquiry...
This is a personal attack and I don't appreciate it. My kind request for people to stay on topic has nothing to do with if one is scientific or not. Coming here to persuade people who are looking...
I'm not trying to censor anybody, I'm asking people to show courtesy and stay on topic. But now we are getting into personal attacks against me again, like what happened in other threads. I won't...
It's much more difficult to get supplements in Europe. The North American market is much freer, especially in the United States. There is less medical freedom in Europe which is why Europeans will...
It's interesting that you mention that many anti-inflammatories are also antioxidants. Yes, this is true. Some conventional meds have mild activity against hydrogen peroxide. Rectal 5-ASAs are an...
Ok, so the usual suspects are showing up to destroy this thread like they've done in so many others. I advise people who were enjoying the previous discussion to simply not engage with them. Just...
It's not that cut and dry, just like it's sometimes not cut and dry to define UC vs Crohn's in some people. For example, there are UC patients who have undiagnosed parasites whose UC resolves after...
I am sorry to hear you're having such difficulties. Although BROCQ is the best sulforaphane supplement I've found, it's not the only one. Surely there must be sulforaphane available somewhere in...
This has been my experience with most GI specialists. Although Dr. Pravda's theories have brought me the most radically beneficial results, I did find other things over the years that partially...
