    Ascorbic Acid Worsening Candida

    Update on my vitamin C journey - Please forgive me, but I haven't had time to read all the posts since I last posted from last year. One of those rough days. Anyway, I have stopped the vitamin C protocol. Even though initially I was feeling so much better, over time, I started to decline and...

    Homeopathy for Lyme / Autoimmune - C128 LD Nosodes Formula

    Hi Wayne, It has been a while. I hope you are doing better these days. This has been a very up and down year for me. I officially found out I have lyme disease. I've was working with a causative homeopath. I started with him in April and actually was doing better until he upped the...

    Ascorbic Acid Worsening Candida

    Hi Acrosstheveil, according to my practitioners, the Liposomal C will kill off candida. I had massive die-off of candida and pathogens when I started with the lip C and the IVC. When I first started the Lip C, my tongue got very white and then after a few days, it turned pink. Check out...

    VERY interesting article from Dr. Myhill

    Hi Wayne, you are so right. Even the my IV nurse said we will have to start with much lower dosage on the IV when we start up again. Then I will work up to 100,000mg over time. She then said that once I reach that amount, the true healing will begin at a deeper level. I will just have to do...

    VERY interesting article from Dr. Myhill

    Sorry Wayne, just saw your first post. Yes, my docs do think it is from the high dose C that is causing the liver/gallbladder issues. It is very detoxifying! It packs a punch that I wasn't expecting. Most patients that start the regimen with both the lip c and IV C report feeling like they...

    VERY interesting article from Dr. Myhill

    I am doing both. For some reason, the floxed group (those that have had an adverse reaction to fluoroquinolones) are having to change the formula of the homemade version. We have to use sunflower lecithin at reduced amounts. But I respond well to the Liv On Labs (which is from soy) for some...

    VERY interesting article from Dr. Myhill

    Just a quick update, I had to temporarily stop taking the lipsomal C and IVC due to a gallbladder/liver problem I am being evaluated for. I can say this, the liposomal C, maybe the combo of that with the IVC, had greatly relieved my body pain. Within days of going off, the pain came back like...

    Toxicity of Ciprofloxacin and Levaquin/Levofloxacin

    Because of cipro, I have been sick for almost 7 years! If you have an adverse reaction, it is a long climb out of the hole. I am still clawing my way out.

    VERY interesting article from Dr. Myhill

    Hi Mary, if Dr. Mercola's Lip C doesn't work, try another one. It might be different. My doc only recommends two brands, Liv On Labs and Dr. Ben's. Doc is making his own homemade batch tonight and is going to give me some to try. The recipe is slightly different for the floxies because of...

    VERY interesting article from Dr. Myhill

    This is great Radio! Interestingly, I haven't been able to tolerate any type of vitamin C. But I can tolerate the IVs and liposomal C. Even though we are working with C and other nutrients (other vitamins,mineral, and herbs) in my mix, my doc does methylation last in line with the protocol he...

    VERY interesting article from Dr. Myhill

    Hi Mary, I definitely think the lipisomal C is something to check out. Thank you for the info on the Moducare. I will take a look at that. I may have tried it before, but not sure. I have tried so much in the past. It is hard to remember. As far as the IV vitamin C and the blend that the...

    VERY interesting article from Dr. Myhill

    I have to say that the Interesting Wayne! I think my hysterectomy was the beginning of my decline. Then cipro pushed me over the edge! I can see how the castor oil would work. When I have done them in the past, it puts me to sleep almost right away. I just wish it would relax me all the...

    VERY interesting article from Dr. Myhill

    Interesting! I have autoimmune issues, but the C doesn't seem to be aggravating it at all. If anything, my system is calming more. It is like it is starting to rebalance. But I am early in the game and was a little reluctant to post anything thus far. We know how things can turn fast on us...

    VERY interesting article from Dr. Myhill

    You definitely need more! My IVs have 100,000mg in them. As far as the lipsomal C, I would dose higher on days you are feeling really stressed. You won't overdose, but I would definitely work your way up. I don't think that this alone will cure everything, but I do believe it will help a...

    VERY interesting article from Dr. Myhill

    Hello everyone! I just wanted to jump in on the conversation about the liposomal vitamin C. I have been taking it now for a month. It has eliminated much of my body pain so far. I feel an increase in energy during different parts of my day. My moods are slightly better, but I am also taking...

    SHMT or CBS first?

    Critterina, careful of Levaquin. Look up fluoroquinolone toxicity! I have had all sorts of problems because of those drugs. Hope you feel better soon!

    Ozone Therapy

    Hey Wayne, there was someone here that I used to converse with via private email, who was drinking ozonated water and found that it really helped kill off the pathogens in his gut. He said he had to start slowly because the die-off was intense. He was doing well with it over time though and...

    Poo transplant/ parasites/ gut bugs

    Thank you for sharing this martinyzeany! I am having a horrible time resolving issues with my gut, which I believe is the root of my problem. I am extremely sensitive to anything I take to help with this issue. My "CFS" came on after a antibiotic adverse reaction. I had 5 rounds of...

    How long will B12 stay high? is it a problem?

    Hi Justy, my h. pylori tests over the last few years kept coming back negative, but I was having horrible gastric pains that no doctor I was seeing could explain other than to tell me I had leaky gut. Finally something came up positive!! I hope your tests reveal something to help solve your...

    How long will B12 stay high? is it a problem?

    Hi Justy, I can't answer about the b12 as I haven't had luck in taking any at this point. But as far as anemia, I have been having issues with this as well. This is unusual for me. My tests the last year have been showing up that I am anemic. I eat a lot of meat, but I also have a very...

    Undigested food in stools...

    As Junto said stomach acid is essential for nutrient absorption. Word of caution, I was taking HCL at one point and switched to apple cider vinegar to help with my digestive problems. I paired this up with digestive enzymes too. No improvement. RecentlyI found out I have h. pylori...

    How many of us have had SIBO/Leaky Gut Tests? Results?

    You can count me in as well! I just came up h. pylori positive after being tested negative for 5 years. It's hard to detect as it burrows into the walks of the stomach, etc.

    Will Freddd be back on these forums?

    Welcome back Freddd! I am so sorry for the rough time you have been going through. I know the feeling as I lost four family members, two of which were my parents, in a years time. Grief is a lot of stress to deal with, but we are strong and will prevail. Sending you wishes of continued...

    B2 I love you!

    Asklipia, I am very happy for your progress. I am struggling with things right now. You mentioned excitotoxicity. I get this with everything I try. I was doing the Mn with Christine, but it was too much for me to handle. so now I am trying Annesse's diet, which was actually recommended by my...

    Homeopathy for Lyme / Autoimmune - C128 LD Nosodes Formula

    Hey Kalki, In no way am I uncomfortable at all. Sorry if it came across that way. I have had such a hard day. I am so interested in what you are sharing. It is good to converse with someone who understands homeopathy. It is funny that you brought up that you changed paths along the way...

    Homeopathy for Lyme / Autoimmune - C128 LD Nosodes Formula

    Kalkita, sorry I addressed you by another name. My brain isn't working well today. Isn't homeopathy interesting and there are so many views. She is very much a classical homeopath, but has recently branched out a bit in training. She is finding that when the constitutional remedies stall...

    Hi Kyrie, welcome to the thread! I don't have lyme, but I would love to hear your views and share what you know about homeopathy. I have been working with a great homeopath for the last year which has helped me regain some of my life back, enough so I can return to work part time this fall as...
