Found a great resource for gut health issues (specifically SIBO and IBS). The author of the website seems to be someone a bit like Helen who researches everything very thoroughly, and thinks outside the box. www.gutcritters.com He cured his SIBO by taking pre and probiotics, and doing a week...

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...

Does anyone do it? Genuine benefits or not? It seems to have genuine benefits from what I can see. It's sort of like meditation, and I guess the poses promote blood flow in certain parts of the body. Anyone do yoga regularly? I've been trying some poses like the following, which are supposed...

Looks like Mario is still active, and has the backing of some organisations now (collaboration with CureME team at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine) with regards to his research into trends for CFS/PFS etc. Machine Learning-assisted Research on CFS Mario's twitter feed -...

If so, do you have the following defect? rs10503019 18 55454377 AA You can search your raw data for this, ie the text file you download from 23andme. It's a defect which results in problems metabolising bile acids. 109 ATP8B1 rs10503019 15.06 A 100...

https://waset.org/publications/9999944/grape-seed-extract-in-prevention-and-treatment-of-liver-toxic-cirrhosis-in-rats Interesting study which found benefits in using GSE alongside UDCA to prevent and manage liver cirrhosis. UDCA/TUDCA and GSE are two sups I respond well to, although haven't...

Had no idea DHT actually opposes estrogen until I read @Helen mention this somewhere recently, and I've found a great article here which goes into some detail (actually a great article overall on DHT etc, see below) But essentially the take-away is that if you have high DHT then your estrogen...

Thought I'd start a thread on this as it seems almost certain this is involved somewhere in all this and would be good to discuss.. Most vitamin K is synthesised from gut bacteria (primarily beneficial e.coli strain I believe). Many people in PFS/PAS etc are missing certain species, so it's...

Thought I'd get a thread started on this, then if anyone has already tried it, maybe they can chime in, but it would be good to have a few people on here give it a go, then share their experiences. Sounds like it could be worth a go. It seems similar to the licorice tea protocol that someone on...

Found a really interesting article here on ways to improve bile flow and increase bile production. This seems to be a real issue for a lot of people, and it's got to be a real issue for me. This seems to overlap with liver flushes a bit, but some interesting things mentioned; Gallbladder...

Has anyone found these useful? Using coffee, water or anything else? I know ARL sometimes include them in their programme. I've read people say you get great clarity after doing them. Anyone complete these regularly? The potential benefits for health & detoxification appear quite good. Enemas...

Just received my second hair analysis test (12 months after I did the first one) and it’s almost the complete opposite - I’ve gone from a Fast 4 to a Slow 1! This didn’t exactly inspire confidence, but there are some interesting things. Over the last year or so I’ve had issues with chest pains...

I've been trying to figure out why I seem to always get benefits from Tribulus for really bad stress/anxiety, whereas other things that are supposed to help don't seem to have much effect. Reading some studies trib lower CRH, as well as cortisol. CRH doesn't seem to get anywhere near as much...

So has anyone really given this a shot? I think dopamine is a big factor in a lot of cases of PFS/PAS/PSSD. In my case I've had periods of sensitivity returning when using things which increase dopamine. CDP Choline to an extent, lots of green tea is noticeable and weed fairly consistently, but...

What are peoples opinions on this? And what do people think about the pro's and con's of drinking/not drinking? Some say to completely avoid alcohol (CDnuts protocol for example), but others say some drinking in moderation is a benefit (usually talking about red wine, and I think generally this...

What have people found effective? In the last year or so I've found anxiety to be an increasing problem. I've tried a few things which have helped a bit; Chamomile tea - Seems to help a bit, but doesn't seem that potent Green tea - As above really, does seem to help, but it's not that...

I'm interested to know how many people have noticed changes in sweating with PFS/PAS/PSSD etc. From my personal experience with PAS I basically don't sweat. No wetness underarms, no real smell of sweat. Prior to getting PAS I'd actually sweated excessively for at least a few years prior (loads...

Clearly a big factor in this mess is gut dysbiosis (impaired gut flora). Many people are suffering from issues with digestion, and those who have done gastrointestinal tests (including myself) all have missing key species of beneficial bacteria (in my case I'm completely missing the...

Just watched this documentary on toxicity in Salmon (which I eat a lot of), and it's absolutely staggering. Farmed salmon in Norway is fed on pellets which are made from fish caught in the Baltic Sea, which is enclosed and extremely polluted from counties with loads of heavy industry around it...

Only found out recently that one of the main causes of vitamin B12 deficiency is low stomach acid.. https://www.hsph.harvard.edu/nutritionsource/b-12-deficiency/ And another thing which can cause B12 deficiency is potassium supplementation.. Vitamin B12 Benefits That You’re Probably Missing...
