    i took calcium and felt great for the first day then i felt incredibly bad. lymph nodes swollen, psychotic like symptoms, head pressure, just awful. could it be related to oxalates? or does calcium make the mold worse?

    Pyroluria, is it real? I'm really skeptical and here is why.

    you said copper is one to avoid then you say you were taking it every 4 hours and it helps? I don't think i'm understanding you correctly.

    Thiamine, vitamin B1, is it a cure?

    you only need a small amount of Allthamine/TTFD compared to thiamine hcl. I don't recommend taking 1800 mg of TTFD. you will have a bad time.

    Angular Chelitis

    don't use raw honey on angular chelitis. honey feeds fungus and honey naturally has clostridium spores which can cause botulism. which is why they say not to give honey to infants. honey is like jet fuel for my fungal issues.

    Has anyone been "cured" of bartonella?

    Fixing Leaky Gut Helps ME/CFS, and Sometimes Achieves Full Remission

    just an update. I had a severe setback with what i believe is a Bartonella infection. I've been very sick the past couple weeks and had to stop the Enteromend product. I think I can't tolerate the glutamine.

    High Quality B12

    i understand b12oils uses a proprietary formula but if he can't even tell me if it contains an allergen then I'm not willing to try it. i just wanted to know if it contained olive oil but he refuses to answer....i'm highly allergic

    My success story. Tons of biotin.

    some people say biotin is great to take if you have fungal overgrowth and some other sources are saying the opposite. so which is it? if i have problem with SIFO, should I be taking biotin or avoiding it?

    negative symptoms after taking vitamin d

    vitamin D is antagonistic to Vitamin A so they should be taken together. also, you need a lot of K2 with D3. most supplements are an extremely low dose of k2 if they combine it with D3. People take up to 45 mg a day of K2 (mk-4) for osteoporosis. I have been taking a lot of D3/K2 lately...

    Methylation, folate and Candida/yeast overgrowth?

    so i don't think it was the potassium but actually the methylfolate that seems to feed whatever fungal infection i have. i've tried every single type of methylfolate and they all do the same thing and my fungal infection comes raging back.

    Why are B12 supplements making my symptoms so much worse?

    Confused about folate deficiency symptoms

    i've been trying to increase my methylfolate. startup has been tough. if i take 1mg it turns me into a raging lunatic. I've been thinking about trying a 4-5 mg dose but I'm kind of scared. need to do it on a weekend or something. edit: went from 800 mcg to 3 mg a day and feel so much...

    Why are B12 supplements making my symptoms so much worse?

    i've had all these symptoms from low quality b12. i think some are produced from black mold (Aspergillus Niger) and aren't purified enough. I get all these symptoms from toxic mold exposure as well. one of the worst offenders was Global Healing's B12. I almost had to go to the emergency...

    High Quality B12

    all i did was ask if it they used olive oil and they wouldn't answer. they kept saying it doesn't matter as it's taken externally. and they basically yelled at me over email. kind of absurd. don't want to support a business like that. they made it seem like i was bothering them over a...

    emailed b12oils.com and asked as a simple question about what kind of oil they use as I have an allergy to olive oil and the guy was a complete asshole about it. would not recommend ordering from there. any other places to get high quality b12 without xylitol?
