    Andrographis - IDO inhibitor and protector of SOD, Catalase and Glutathione

    I used to take 400mg capsules of the dried herb 2-3 times a day. After not taking it for some months I decided to go back on it but this time in tincture form. Same dosage. Both are effective. I prefer tincture. It is very very bitter in taste but it feels oddly satisfying when I take it. When I...

    Andrographis - IDO inhibitor and protector of SOD, Catalase and Glutathione

    For anyone trying to improve their antioxidant systems and reduce inflammation I would like to share some studies about my favorite herb. It is very potent and easily crosses the blood-brain barrier. Has antibacterial activity against Lyme's disease spirochetes and at the same time it reduces...

    GHK-Cu: Hairloss, PFS, COPD, Fibromalgia Discussion

    @gbolduev I've been doing carnosine for a 2 weeks. GHK protocol for a week. I am fast oxidizer with 4 lows on hair test. (not a PFS or CFS case) I think GHK might be my cure. Carnosine launched my thyroid at first but the effect didn't last more than 3 days. Then I added lysine a week ago and...

    GHK-Cu: Hairloss, PFS, COPD, Fibromalgia Discussion

    It should be noted that when GHK-Cu gets going it will induce a lot of collagen synthesis. Glycine and proline will be drained a lot and this will increase protein requirement. Stimulation of collagen synthesis in fibroblast cultures by the tripeptide-copper complex...

    General Q & A

    @gbolduev In people infected with Lyme's disease studies show a buildup of quinolinic acid in the CNS from tryptophan breakdown. Many practitioners use herbs that block IDO pathway such as Japanese knotweed (resveratrol), Curcumin, Andrographis etc in order to reduce quinolic acid. It is...

    Gumbo hair test

    There is an alloy of cobalt and chromium that they use for hip replacements and dental inlays (when part of your tooth is missing). Do you have any of these?

    gbold and mattyb disagree about things?

    Copper increases CO2 production which lowers oxidation rate by feedback. Zinc gets rid of CO2 faster which increases oxidation rate by feedback.

    gbold and mattyb disagree about things?

    @gbolduev When you say "zinc carnosine" do you mean the Zinc-L-Carnosine-Complex or zinc and carnosine taken separately?

    Ulcerative Colitis / IBD

    Not likely. When I got sick 2 years ago I though copper toxicity was my problem. I took zinc and molybdenum for months and deteriorated a lot during this time. My spine started deforming too. Was very hard to stand up straight. Plus on my hair test it shows fast oxidation, low calcium, low...

    Ulcerative Colitis / IBD

    Thanks. I have already ordered 100g free form histidine to try it out. Will report back next week if it brings any improvement.

    Ulcerative Colitis / IBD

    @gbolduev Do you think histadine would be useful for copper utilization in the case of fast oxidation? I have copper deficiency that is slow to correct, estrogen is very high but ceruloplasmin not as much. I have like zero emotions, low lubrication (saliva, tears) and low stomach acid. Maybe...

    Type 1 - Slow Oxidizer Diet

    I suggest you don't take this b complex in the evening. It has a lot of b6 which will cause your body to make a lot of serotonin when you take it. This will cause insane dreaming and it will slow down your CO2 ventilation so calcium will be stuck in the cell at night. Good luck.

    Ulcerative Colitis / IBD

    How high have you tried going with methylb12? Doses of 5mg-20mg ramp up methylation a lot. This heals epithelial tissues very fast and puts a lot of potassium into the cells. It will also improve your glutathione recycling. When you take b2 with it, you don't need huge doses of methyl-folate...

    Creatine and DHT

    I have high estrogen and the same thing happens to me when I take creatine. Really really bad joint pain. I read somewhere that creatine synthesis uses up to 70% of the methyl groups in the methylation cycle. Maybe if methylation is upregulated and you take creatine, the methyl groups have to...
