    My gigantic story going back to 1996, please read this, treatment plan included!

    I think I now know why Dr. Eric Berg always recommends a keto diet. Because it does not contain carbs that are contaminated with glyphosate. https://childrenshealthdefense.org/defender/stephanie-seneff-toxic-legacy-glyphosate-destroying-our-health/ So if you consume glyphosate you wreck your...

    Melatonin and Zinc

    When you are already chronically ill you don't want to lower copper any further (macrophages need copper) which zinc does. Melatonin on the other hand seems to be an electron donator to copper which turns bio-unavailable copper (II) to bio-available copper (I).

    dermatophyte/eczema under blacklight (UV-A)

    dermatophyte/eczema under blacklight (UV-A)

    Last year I noticed some skin changes on my left crook of the arm. Could have appeared after blood drawing. It's like a layer of scab that feels rough. If I put on e.g. cinnamon bark oil it takes up the yellow color of the oil which makes it very visible but it didn't have a strong effect on...

    What is the cause of yellow semen syndrome (YSS)?

    This is basically a meta-analysis of PubMed articles containing the terms "yellow semen". Of course these are all studies performed on animals (13 on wild turkeys (Meleagris gallopavo), 1 on an American Quarter Horse, 1 on Angora goats and 1 on Holstein Friesian bulls). My goal is to find out...

    Help! Cobalt issue

    I also recently did a hair mineral test. And my cobalt was also off the charts, it was .038 mg% (mg per 100 g of hair) when the range is .000 - .005 mg%. But I'm quite sure that the source is external, I'm using a shampoo that contains seabuckthorn (Hippophae rhamnoides). Seabuckthorn is high...

    Anyone have problems with Astaxanthin?

    I also get that knockout feeling and I fall asleep like 1-2 hours after I take Astaxanthin (12 mg). It's either because it reduces my blood pressure which is already low or it reacts with mercury which I suppose I have in the brain...

    Acetylcholine caused crash

    Maybe the sensitivity to a cholinergic supplement comes from an organophosphate poisoning. OPs irreversibly inhibit AChE and can only be removed by reversible AChE inhibitors. But these released organophosphates (aka pesticides) can then cause the same symptoms as the original poisoning...
