    Comment by 'Christopher' in 'Why you react to some probiotics - some answers'

    how prescient...i just started taking bb536 lately and having what i think is really bad die off. (perhaps candida or a novel fungal infection, unsure). not sure if the bb536 is responsible for the crash but it does correlate. not that i was doing 100% either but this feels like toxicity

    Dealing with what I believe to be a Hell Toxin bacterial infection in my GI tract and the ability to eliminate the metal toxins associated with the bacteria.

    Crying makes fatigue go away for like half an hour

    happened to me when i was at my dads very toxic moldy house. assume i detoxed a bit from the tears or crying just moved some stagnant energy around. only lasted like you said a short time.

    stomach parasites

    very old thread but have started taking DE and it does work at least for me. could be just as a binding agent, but I am sensing it is directly mechanically attacking what's in my gut.

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

    Thanks I thought that people stopped experimenting with it due to lack of activity. I myself have been trying it off and on along with other attempts at healing modalities. Lately I have not been having any success with it. However, I just recently started experimenting with large doses of...

    Gut issues give me energy. Why?

    I don't think your gut is getting better...you probably are not feeling inflammation there anymore. I have similar issues. Your immune system is not faltering when it's going after infections it's supposed to be going after.

    Can someone help me guess what is causing these weird stools and parasite looking things? (w/ pics)

    I've been getting similar results lately....The thing that helps the most is getting to a beach or someplace with really good air quality, then my BM's look healthy.

    Slow Transit Constipation...... no pain just no movement

    What do you think is the main reason for the normal BM? Did you cut out stuff like gluten or dairy?

    Slow Transit Constipation...... no pain just no movement

    That's a very good diet...I have been dealing with small intestine overgrowth (I think mine is fungus, not sure) for a while now, and this has inhibited my digestion for years now. I don't know what the original cause is, but I was taking doxycycline for lyme, then I started digestive issues, so...

    PEMF device experiences

    OK. The GliSODin has sort of interesting...I just hope it doesn't cause a crash. I do have a few bottles of Japanese Knotweed so I might try taking that for a bit to see if I notice anything.

    Five ways to reduce your ME/CFS "wired but tired" hyperaroused brain state

    Wow. It amazes me that some people can take it without any effect. I did so amazing on it initially, and then had an awful horrid crash. It was the start of my carb intolerance.

    PEMF device experiences

    Following ;) Although I'm not ready for the $500 investment yet. Have you messed around with SOD supplementation/hacks? I just started taking GliSODin with minor (beneficial?) effect. But I understand this supplement mainly affects SOD1, which is not mitochondria-based.

    zinc switched the lights back on

    You MUST take zinc in the middle of a large-ish meal. Otherwise it will irritate your stomach.
