    Gentle Liver flush?

    Does anyone know of a recipe for a gentle liver flush? I think i have some sort of subclinical galbladder problem causing fat intolerance and i would like to try. Castor oil packs have not helped neither has juicing beets. THe full on flush looks very damaging and i would probably vomit. thanks

    Psychedelics and Immunomodulation: Novel Approaches and Therapeutic Opportunities

    Found this on the web. " Interesting, I think neuroinflammation could explain a huge part of what is going on. I’ve taken LSD 3 times since being ill with CFS/ME (been ill for 2 and a half years now, I am virtually housebound) and each time my symptoms have gone away COMPLETELY for 3 days...

    Nausea from fats??

    Unfolded Protein Response and A Possible Treatment for CFS

    I started taking 1000mg TUDCA (250mg 4x day) and my urine has taken on a green tinge and it smells weird . Has anyone experienced this? It literally started the day i hopped on TUDCA. Thanks

    Nausea from fats??

    Thanks for sharing. I hope its my galbladder. That would explain why it happened right after 80g fat meal. My fear is gastroparesis so i hope its not that. Any chance there is an alternative to AF betafood? I am in Australia so it's impossible for me to buy it.

    Nausea from fats??

    I have always had a high appetite and 2 month's ago i snacked on butter. Then i did a 14 day juice fast. I broke the juice fast slowly and all was well. 3 week's later i gorged on greek yogurt and had about 100g fat in one sitting. Right away i had EXTREME abdoninal distention and i felt...

    The Resistant Starch Challenge: Is It The Key We've Been Looking For?

    Today i did another FMT. This time i used 2tbsp RS and 500ml water with a healthy donor stool. I felt a mental rush which faded away. Tomorrow i will be doing another FMT. This time 1000ml water with 4tbsp RS. Should be a solid theraputic trial.

    Scared of the future

    I tried not to mention religion as that's against the rules here. But yes that's a part of the issue. The problem is that healthy people are telling sick people to suffer and live. If you put all the politicians through a cancer death simulation then they would be on the same page. People...

    Scared of the future

    I am so sorry. I hope you have at least something in life to look forward to. Life really sucks. We are on a giant ball floating through the universe. Doesn't make sense at all really. And the worst part is you feel invincible until you get sick. Then its pretty much game over. No respawns.

    Scared of the future

    Its about LIVING not dying. Once you know you have an exit route you can live knowing you have a CHOICE. Many who illegally procure such methods never end up using them. Those that don't have a choice end up hanging themselves in fear they wont get a chance later. Anyone against euthanasia...

    Scared of the future

    I think it is a real risk. I mean our bodies are not working very well. Who knows if we suddenly have a stroke or not? What if you had a stroke and were severely disabled from it but couldn't do anything about it. A prisoner being tortured. I wouldn't mind a psychologist. But i would have to...

    Anyone tried Black Seed Oil?

    Hello. I have had CFS for along time which was mild at first and now pretty bad that i am in bed for most of the day. One thing that has been bothering me, is thoughts of the future. I see healthy happy people come down with cancer, heart attacks etc. I am chronically ill, so the chances are...
