    Selenium for the liver - acute pain

    If that pain goes through to your back, I'd suspect gall bladder getting involved, maybe trying to dump some sludge or stones. That would probably bring nausea with it. Keep us posted. Blessings to you!

    How to Make Liposomal Vitamin C

    I'm not up on the benefits of liposomal C. Got any testimonies to it's benefits? I use Now Sodium Ascorbate which is neutral pH. I'd probably use it in the recipe & skip the sodium bicarbonate ingredient. Blessings to you

    Question about Carnitine

    I used Swanson's Acetyl L-Carnitine & noticed no help. When I started Swanson's L-Carnitine Fumerate I noticed better energy. I've been taking 2/day, 1 when I get up in the morning [30 min. before food] and 1 between breakfast & midday meal. Blessings to you

    High Reverse T3 (rT3)

    just the basics

    Hi @davidfibdou I'm not on the Simplified Methylation Protocol (SMP) by Rich & never have been. So I don't comment on it. If you've started that & it doesn't help, I have the impression you wouldn't lose anything but time. I'm using active B12s rather than hydroxocobalamin. Blessings to you
