    THE STAGES OF METHYLATION AND HEALING

    You guessed it - I've been copper toxic and working to bring it down for five years. Almost down to normal now. Toxicity impairs the liver where copper transport is handled so we end up toxic and deficient at the same time. When I take the Mitosynergy copper supplement it ramps up my methylation...

    Cistus incanus

    That's what I'm doing as it seems to me that 80-90% of my symptoms come from Candida. If I can wipe it out, it would make dealing with the upstream causes a lot easier (Lyme, viral infections, & heavy metals)...

    So, what's happening with your antiviral trials? I just watched the Klinghard retrovirus video too and think he's onto something... I don't think he's the first to connect Lyme with viral infection as Buhner seems to have gone there before Dr. K. I have lots of reading to do!

    THE STAGES OF METHYLATION AND HEALING

    One thing I did not appreciate when I summarized this thread years ago at http://howirecovered.com/active-b12-therapy-faq/ it is that most of my symptoms stem from candida which is aggravated by B vitamin supplementation especially folate and supplements that increase alkalinity like magnesium...

    Best health books?

    I can identify with that!! Also i do a lot of pleasure reading - sometimes it causes me to go to bed too late too, so it can be detrimental to health if it’s too good lol, Health books can hurt you too, particularly vitamin guides because everything sounds wonderful, but if it’s not the right...

    Best health books?

    I’ve seen his name a few times but when i started looking into his book i saw he calls liver flushing a quack therapy. That’s a deal breaker for me... If he’s helped you though, that’s what counts. Everyone’s advice is good for someone :D

    SOD2 A16V homozygous mutation - anyone else?

    I have experimented with B2 and it did nothing for the migraines. I'm fairly certain now of the source being related to that mold growing inside me - which by the way could possibly have developed while living in South Florida because that's where my health really deteriorated seriously.

    I'm also +/+ for SOD2 A16V and have problems on the other two SOD2 genes tested by 23andme as well. I think this discussion is mostly over my head but still think I can point out something you may be overlooking. I believe these SNP's result in a deficiency of hydrogen peroxide in our bodies...

    Has Anyone Ever Tried a Gallbladder Flush?

    Well guys, I'm not a crusader, so I'm out of here! If I accidentally walked into a room full of people who said that dental amalgams were safe because mercury doesn't leak out of them, I'd be gone in an instant. Those people could all point to MDs, dentists and other authorities who could back...

    Has Anyone Ever Tried a Gallbladder Flush?

    Well, maybe I spoke too broadly. I was referring to the "saponified oil" nonsense mostly. I do think it's possible for a practitioner to develop a lot of insight based on treating many many people, making mistakes along the way and having successes too. I personally fell into the mistake...

    Has Anyone Ever Tried a Gallbladder Flush?

    I've read that it's common for gallstones to come out when liver flushing. I'm told the gallstones sink. I had so many different types of stones come out, I really don't know what was what... Some looked like gallstones but I don't think they sank. It sounds to me like flushing may be a good...

    Has Anyone Ever Tried a Gallbladder Flush?

On rare occasions, people doing a liver flush will have a...

    Latested Updated Regimen

    This is twice as much oil as the old-school formulas (Hulda Clark and Andreas Moritz). I'm not saying that's a bad thing, just noting. I also do double flushes which HC and AM never recommended that I know about anway. I'm also about to try the vitamin C flush next time:)
