Anybody got any additional advice for supplementation/diet?

 

[bruschi11]

I received similar supp recommendations. Maybe combine zinc finger, gcu aminos, “ protocol for better health” stuff with above. That will be my plan once I get off this prog.

Hey All,

Got my ARL test back, and it looks pretty nasty:



Any advice/interpretation is welcome.

Dr. Klinghardt says:
Oxidized used-up iron and copper get displaced into the extracellular compartment and body fluids and appears in the hair and skin, as the body’s most efficient way of excreting toxins without hurting the kidneys. This has led to the dangerous and in its consequence catastrophic assumption, that these metals are the enemy and need to be restricted. It is true, that oxidized metals pose a danger and have to be reduced (=substitution of electrons) or eliminated. However, when copper and iron are needed and substituted appropriately, major improvements have been observed. Appropriate antioxidant treatment can reduce these metals. Homeopathic copper and iron will lead to beneficial redistribution of these metals and makes them bio- available again.

Then: zinc has a synergetic effect with Mercury in the brain.

I would test for toxins comprehensively (stool, provoking Urin Test with DMPS) and for gluthathion as for b-vits, too.
Then you know more about your metal load and the second most important antioxidant.
As long as the gluthathion level is not good, you are throwing your money out of the window by supplementing.
Hint: Test gluthathion level first, do provoking test, test gluthathion level again.

Any liver tests? Liver elastography? For detoxing liver flushes and / or gall bladder flushes, too.

Any gut issues? Tests?

@noprop Thanks for the guidance! None of the other tests you mention, as of yet. Would be helpful to get those down the line, though. At the moment I have to let my bank account recover from this 3 months PFS blitz lol.

I'm sort of covering all the bases to some degree as is. I've currently got coffee enemas and bentonite clay for detox, artichoke extract, dandelion tea, NAC, ox bile, TUDCA, and liver flushes for the liver/gallbladder, b vitamins and cold showers for glutathione, immaculate diet with modest fat and carb intake for slow oxidation, and then going to start some of the mineral recommendations from the hair test (I've honestly been taking 80% of them already).

Is there anything else you'd recommend for raising glutathione?

 

[noprop]

Your protocol sounds great and is very comprehensive.
Coffee ennemas are very good and flushes, too. I read some need 10-20 flushes.

Best detox potential has colon hydro (also mentioned by Klinghardt and other docs)
Do it after a liver flush!

I attached a file re the methylation paths. You see that the things are linked (even if some people think Dr. Asko is a seller): my practitioner as well (he is a freak) said that Mercury can inhibit / block the detox pathways by binding to other stuff. Mercury is crucial. So, even if you supplement properly in order to detox you won't as your body itself cannot detox Mercury / bring it out of the intercellular space and the intracellular space.
I had my third IV today and guess what? I am sick for the first time in a year, so the immun system seems to work again a bit.

I even think - after reading lots of autoimmunity threads - that our AIS is highly surpressed and that you feel better by being sick cause this means the system (and the detox path) is running again.

Before going to the topic Gluthathione: the most important antioxidant is........melatonin.
Check for your levels. I did by a frequency machine.
How to raise melatonin? There was a study saying, people working in the sun had higher levels of melatonin at night.
I guess it is biological induced: the amount of sun could tell the body / brain that there is going on a lot and that you need to sleep in order to save the most important information and erase the nonsense ( brain science and the function of sleep). But you can do it properly only if you have deep sleep. Deep sleep needs melatonin.
That's why people have sleeping problems even if they work hard but inside a building.
You must upraise your mela by going outside. I read that jogging or walking in the morning is best even if you work inside. Most do.

Okay, now how to raise Gluthathion: it raises the production of lymphocytes (some here lack of them!)
Low levels of G. were found in patients with AIDS, MS, metabolic disorders!, bacterial infections (calcification of the prostate is one! I am posting some lines), viral infections...

If you don't have gut issues, take S Gluthathion regularly - every day in smaller amounts.
For a start with Chelation, IV Gluth is needed. But in the long term, regular intake is more effective.
Taking precursors of Gluthathion like acetylcystein? Hm, I saw different opinions.
Or eat broccoli! Spinach! Carrots (smoothie)! Selen! ALA! MSM!
Generally: endorphins for the immun system (LDN) if you cannot do sports, you can beat yourself in order to get pain and the endorphins...

Any questions...? Feel free...best

There's a lot of great info here, thank you! What have you been getting an IV of? Do you have a friend in the medical field to administer it, or how do you even go about getting one?

 

[noprop]

In your case I would go to Dr. Klinghardt or someone who is familiar with his protocols and ask for IV chelation.
In Europe, people can find those docs, too.

But detoxing is only one path. If you have gut issues, if so, they must be treated even first.
Even having treated those and having detoxed, the questions remains if you are healed.
I don't know...

So after doing some research, I have a couple of concerns about the mineral supplement suggestions I was given. Here's what I'd be taking throughout the day every day based on the recommendations:

2000mg Ca
1300mg Mg
4mg Br
3.75mg Cu
40mg Zn
25mg Mn

Doesn't that magnesium, especially, look really high based on my hair analysis? I mean, Na was shown to be the lowest of my three electrolytes and Mg lowers sodium retention... The practitioners reasoning for the magnesium was to "slow the adrenals to allow recovery from burnout". This is the same logic ARL uses themselves when suggesting Mg supplementation for a 4-lows person. I've already emailed the practitioner about this and am waiting for a response, but this sort of thing makes me doubt all of the supplement suggestions.

The minerals besides the Ca and Mg were suggested in order to raise my Na/K ratio. Do they seem like solid suggestions?

Really struggling to wrap my head around this so that I don't jump into something that's going to make me feel worse. @mattyb @gbolduev @TubZy @m_arch @HerrFisch @Raincoast @Area-1255 - could any of you guys weigh in? You each seem to have a good understanding of mineral balancing. Thanks.

 

[Niles]

So the practitioner got back to me saying that the magnesium seems high because it's shown in the amount of the Mg compound rather than in elemental magnesium, but, that's clearly wrong based on the bottle... I even calculated based on the RDI % listed beside it. Losing more faith every second, haha. She did give one tidbit that made sense:

"Sodium is depleted when aldosterone is low. This is a mineral balance issue and can be corrected on our program."

Didn't happen to mention how it would be corrected, though...

[Niles]

Maybe asking this in particular is not a bad idea. You have paid for the consult already at least, i assume.

Your ratios are not that off, its just the metabolism is slowed down in general i think. The Zn/Cu is of favor to Zn, it might be some 'hidden' copper as its written in the practitioner report.

Yeah, I'm communicating with the practitioner remotely, but she's available via email and phone whenever. I'm going to collect a few questions and get back in touch with her this week.

Yeah the magnesium does look very high considering your sodium. My GF had a 4 lows pattern (shes since retested it, and now shes in 3 lows) and she used a trace elements practitioner who suggested a similar thing: magnesium, copper and potassium. I think the magnesium and copper is to do the same as you: slow you down

From a general perspective, slow oxidisers retain minerals and fast oxidisers deplete minerals, but can burn out and end up in 4 lows. So I think its good idea to slow down, retain, and build back up. The copper and zinc will slow you down too - so you'd most likely come out of this as a slow oxidiser or a 3 lows with either high calcium or (preferably, like my gf had) high magnesium. I think high magnesium 3 lows isn't that bad since the CA:MG ratio is really important

Nice, thanks for that insight. I think I'll try the suggested supplementation for awhile, but they want me doing 3 doses a day and I'll probably only do 2, which will keep me under 1g of magnesium a day. That's interesting that your GF was 4 lows - did she have symptoms? How long before she was able to transition to 3 lows?

I know what you mean lol. If you're an analytical type like us its hard to 'put faith' in something and follow it for 6 months +. But in the same token, for us who are trying to 'optimise' health or improve conditions that drs say don't exist (or can't pick up / treat yet like PFS) then we don't have much other choice if we've exhausted other options. I just like the concept mostly of the 3 month testing thing, and it seems to roughly work based on my two tests i seem to be slowly moving in a positive direction. Slower is probably better too for health, rather than over dosing on randomly supplements and getting it wrong

Sounds good. let us know how you go.


Yeah she seemed like a burned out fast oxidiser if that makes sense?
She went from a 'fast 4' on tei to a 'slow 1', it was around 4 months. I went from 3 lows to a normal fast oxidsier myself (low ca/mg but high na/k) - trying to get my mg and ca up now.

 

[Niles]

Yeah, it makes a lot of sense - I think that's what I am as well. My practitioner said that my hair test looks like a burned-out fast oxidizer that failed to fully convert to slow oxidation lol. It fits with my personality type, too, as I've always had a lot of nervous energy (can't keep my legs still while sitting, nail-biting, fidgety, etc.). I'm actually a mixed oxidizer right now, with ARL calling me "fast-mixed" and my practitioner calling me "slow-mixed". Good to hear that you and your gf are making progress, I'm trying my best to believe in the process myself.
