@Helen quick question about potassium, my diet has like 2-3 grams potassium only. Is this enough or is it better to aim for 4-5 grams daily?
Potatoes, Banana's - what else? Any better sources?It is better to aim to 4. but you feel good on what you do. then it is ok
Same effect for me. Cortisol was measured a few years back and was low.It was never measured (doc refused), but i was very low on energy, licorice root made that alot better.
If you test Cortisol, bloodwork is not sufficient. you need 24 h protocol through saliva.Same effect for me. Cortisol was measured a few years back and was low.
It was a 24h saliva test showing low cortisol from 11am - 5 pm (depressed)If you test Cortisol, bloodwork is not sufficient. you need 24 h protocol through saliva.
Alright. Thats not good. Unfort.It was a 24h saliva test showing low cortisol from 11am - 5 pm (depressed)
Ofcourse. I was given cortif for short time but no sustained benefits!Alright. Thats not good. Unfort.
Yes, corti - we have different tries with different things and sometimes relief is short. I am convinced the root is not solved or balanced. Cycling is interesting generally. In the case of prog I even think longer intake like 3-4 months and then tappering of very slowly could be interesting.Ofcourse. I was given cortif for short time but no sustained benefits!
Looks good. Thanks.
How will one know that glutathione is restored?

Remember: some fin sides on fin geht better after several months. I guess it is due to AR upsentisation. In one study (belknap) they show risk for developing certain sides increases by time. Yeah, of course. It must be the AR which were upsentisized that long. The critical line is about 2?? days - lets say 7-8 months. What if prog would be intaken that long and tappered off? Dont know.
Good point!
I have never tried progesterone before ( purchase last year but never tried it thinking I have high prog already) however I might give it a try.
what i’m Thinking now? If micro dosing RU is a better idea as it reboots both cortisol and prog OR TEI as it focuses on underlying issue (holistic?)
I tried to edit this into the original post here, but the original post is maxed out regarding the amounts of characters so I will post it here. Here is a potential way that @Helen discussed under the PFS protocol of the first page of this thread. I listed out all the dosages and got more clarity, so now some people should give it a try given how much clearer it is to to see what do try.
PFS Restore NADPH Protocol (take once per day with meals at one time)
- Thiamine HCL 600mg
- B5 - 500mg
- B6 - 100-200mg
- B3 (niacinamide) - 250-500mg
- Folate - 3-10mg
- B12 - 2mg
- B2 - 100mg
- Biotin - 1000mcg
once glutathione is restored from the above protocol then after add vitamin C and E to restore glutathione recycling by adding the following:
- Fat soluble vitamins (just eat butter)
- vitamin C - 1000mg
- vitamin E - 400iu
I had high Prog already.
You can test for AR - then you know more.
Arl and Tei AS some bloodwork is a very important base. .
Androgen Resistance.What is AR?
Which B12 do I buy?
methylcobalamin vs cyanocobalamin?
I though I remember Helen saying not to use methyl form. But isn’t the methyl form the natural one found in animals. I also read that small amount of cyanide is produced when taking non methyl form as body has to convert it , yikes
Thoughts?
