Surely doing a 30 day water fast or whatever you would expect to get all these symptoms too though? I've read doing the 'elemental diet' (pretty much powdered or bottled supplements that are extremely easy to digest and contain all your essential nutrients) has an 84% success rate at...

Did you try cycling it at all, like maybe a few days on, a few days off? So smaller amounts improve mental clarity?

Does anyone have any experience of using this stuff? It's an FXR receptor antagonist and it looks like it's included in some supplements which are intended to improve bile flow; Guggulsterone Is a Farnesoid X Receptor Antagonist in Coactivator Association Assays but Acts to Enhance...

Not that I know of - do you know of anything which would block their actions? I seem to remember buying some herb that blocked RXR in theory, but never tried it

Like I said, I tend to agree, but you can't say you know for sure because it's too complex to model, and there is clearly some 'bending of the truth' from both the for and against camps to make the facts support their arguments. Even if it was proven beyond doubt, it's hard for Western countries...

He's probably still taking things along these lines; Unfolded Protein Response and A Possible Treatment for CFS

What's he taking at the moment? I can't get onto SolvePFS. I know he alway included vitamin k2 in the past

Problem with climate change is there is no firm evidence either way to confirm or deny it's due to human activity. Most countries don't want to admit it might be because if they do it puts them at a disadvantage economically. Even if you had a global agreement on climate change, it's obviously...

So nobody else has done a 23andme?

Tudca or udca should help with the liver pains. I think it’s related to bile flow issues

Pre-accutane I had excessive sweating to the point where it was a real issue and I had to use extra strong deodorant and stuff. I’m slim too, so don’t look like I would sweat much. Post accutane the sweating totally stopped! I did read it could have indicated liver or thyroid issues...

I’m going to push my doc to get iron tested. I’ve asked before and got declined, but i’ll keep trying!

Interesting angle. I’ve read of a few people who couldn’t resolve their leaky gut and gastro issues until they tried a lectin avoidance diet, which completely cured their issues. I don’t know if anyone has tried this before? 6 Foods That Are High in Lectins

@bobin keep us updated on that! Interested to know if it comes back or not. I also noticed stiff joints - knees aching when walking & almost like arthritis in one foot. That stopped after I stopped the stuff. Maybe chelating something, or the iron content like Helen says might be a factor

I don’t think I’ve ever had that tested unfortunately

My ferritin is always really high (out of range) Never had herpes & I have been tested in the past (pre PAS)

I had a throat infection years ago (pre PAS) called strep throat. Only remembered about it when you mentioned in the other thread. Presume the treatment I got was antibiotics

Just reading through all people’s experiences with their response to certain things, along with theories from Helen & others is a big help, and will hopefully help at least some people tailor their own protocol. Failing that then maybe we should all chip in & buy an island & become monks ;-)

This makes me think mineral balancing. It’s probably tackling the consequences rather than the underlying issues that are causing things to build up incorrectly, but at least it’s in theory helping the body to move in the right direction. ARL seems to include more things for detox. Maybe that...

Do you think it could be making the body dump copper or something? The feeling of anger was really pronounced - the slightest thing was annoying me to the point where I wanted to smash something up. Was only taking a tiny bit of the greens stuff too, nowhere near the 7g daily dose. Stopped...
