    What are your effective strategies for various infections/immune system?

    Hi, I came to the conclusion, that this is key for chronic fatigue. Parasitic, bacterial, viral, fungal infections are so wide spread, that they cannot be ever fully prevented almost. I am thinking about two ways, lowering the infections and strenghening the immune system / GI tract. For me I...

    Any affordable way to enrich oxygen like HBOT?

    Hi, hyperbaric oxygen therapy sounds promising, but is highly expensive for me at least as CFS had me unemployed. Are there cheap alternatives to try oxygen therapy? Here is a good video about healing potential of HBOT: I have a moderate CFS, so I can do sports occasionally. Is the phantom...

    What are the best things against mycotoxins/funghi?

    I am suspected to have some form of funghi and this is a wide spread issue for ME/CFS. Did any of you research this and can recommend what's the best way to go? Would a course of prescription medicine be a good start? I already do IF, the regular immune supplements like Vit D, C, Zinc etc...

    What are some good natural pathogen removers?

    I already do the standard immune system supporting things like Vitamin D, Zinc, Multi etc. so these aren't what I'm looking for. Are there other good ways to support the body to remove any pathogens like bacteria, viruses, parasites etc? I'm looking at collodial at the moment. Topically it...

    What are your experiences with colloidal silver?

    Hi, I had a free topical product and it reduced acne clearly that I couldn't get rid off. Thinking about giving oral use a try too. I'm in a facebook group and most swear by it some saying it's their best health discovery. Any experiences and recommendations for the dosage to get?

    Growth Hormone

    I for one can say I wasted thousands on supplements, none made a real difference, HGH is the thing that made the biggest difference for me, after I have a few supplements now, for some reason they seem to have a better effect now. But HGH was by far the best intervention for me that started...

    I replace ALL my hormones. This brought me back to life. But is it sustainable for decades?

    I can attest to that, HGH is the only thing that gave me serious improvement. Tried so many supplements, lost so much money, they sound promising on paper but they're good for prevention at best in u experience. (Still taking a few) Btw, these are not all your hormones by far ;), there are...

    What's better, Zinc glycinate, picolinate or OptiZinc?

    Hi, so I used to take Zinc Picolinate and my bottle is almost empty. I used to have Zinc Gluconate, it's the cheapest per mg, but that brand in particular (NOW) sometimes gave me a weird stomach feeling, especially when I wasn't taking it with food...

    So many Now Foods Vitamin C products, which one to chose?

    Hi, I had good experiences with ascorbic acid in low doses already, when I start to feel bad, but because of convenience, I'm not taking it regularly as I have the crystals (pure powder) Now I wanted to get tablets additionally, so that when I'm in a rush or so I can take them quicker. There...

    Since the Covid-19 is around, what are some of the best things you have to stabilize your immune system and health?

    That is an amazing improvement you had with vitamin C! Which one do you take, just regular aa? And is it possible to premix, say 1 bottle of water with ascorbic acid powder and take a spoon every hour or so? Or maybe tablets or pills would be easier? I want to find a convenient way to take...

    Hi, I have Vitamin D, Zinc, Selenium, NAC, Magnesium, a health juice, Biotin, B1, ascorbic acid. Is there anything further you would recommend?

    So I got me an ozonator, how do I get to use it?

    Idk these parts make me afraid if trying it. I accidentally breathed it in and it felt like my chest was burning, you said taking it in orally made you feel bad. This stuff is harsh. Doing it that transdermal way didn't have any side effects in your experience, is it absolutely safe?

    So I got me an ozonator, how do I get to use it?

    Hi I've bought me this device, does anyone of you have experience with it and how to use it? The manual is just an A5 paper. I've tried to ozonate a glass of water, the smell was strong so I turned it off after 3 min and put the glass in the refrigerator, the smell is gone. Ozone sounds very...

    What's the most affordable way to provide the body with ozone?

    Hi, you haven't sent the PM, can you send it? I already ordered the ozonator, also as for the peptide, which one were you using? Tried searching Oxford Peptides as mentioned in your status, but couldn't find anything.

    What's the most affordable way to provide the body with ozone?

    I just searched the one on the image you had in your post. But I'll be getting the one I mentioned then. As for mental health improvement, this is something I'm totally looking for. Can you tell a little more about that and how to use it transdermally? I'm certainly going to try it out.

    What's the most affordable way to provide the body with ozone?

    Hi, I have found this video: I stumbled upon ozone many times and it always sounded very promising, destroying harmful pathogens, while leaving beneficial bacteria unlike most other antiseptic agents. Now that I've seen this video from one of my favourite doctors, I'd be curious, what methods...

    HDL always low, HDL/LDL ratio too, reasons?

    Hi, over the years I've done allot of blood testings and the variations are amazing sometimes, almost like random.

    What Vitamin C product is good?

    Hi, I trust Dr. Berg, he recommended against ascorbic acid, see his YouTube channel, it's great, if you didn't already. In this video he recommends buffered C, with bioflavonoids. (from minute 6) He mentions Calcium ascorbate, but I've read multiple occasion that we are already on too much...

    Earthing simple and cheap methods?

    Hi I have found a video on earthing, it does sound convincing, but I learned that many things that are convincing and have studies to back them up, end up being worthless by trying. Like many of you CFS/ME patients, I have tried endless things. out of 100 maybe 3-4 really did make a...

    Potassium Chloride as replacement for salt? (sodium chloride)

    Hi, I have read about the importance of potassium as a mineral and find it really hard to achieve even the RDA, which usually is set pretty low as we all know. Eating bananas is not an everyday solution, because of the sugar/fructose. So I have heard that potassium chloride tastes like salt...

    I wasted an extreme amount of $$ money for supplements with no effect

    I must not be the only one. Many very convincing studies and MD Potocols failed me and I don't want to think how much it was that I wasted, but it sure is in the thousands, maybe 10k+ on tests and supplements. :( Did any of you have the same experience?:cautious: Just wanted to say be careful...
