    Thanks for replying. How would I know if it’s a reaction to sulfur or a detox symptom?

    Very tired, depressed, weak and headaches after taking just 1 capsule of milk thistle

    ...supplement. Some of us react to sulfur/thiol foods or supplements. https://drjockers.com/cbs-mutation-low-sulfur-diet/ You could try artichoke instead. I've had artichoke even get rid of migraines for me on a couple occasions. They are not a sulfur/thiol but they do help the liver to detox...

    Severe restlessness / akathisia - neuroinflammation post covid?

    ...Anyway, I hope you can find something that helps. I do remember my severe panic attacks in my 20s and 30s and they were horrendous. I'm sorry you're going through that. Edit: Don't forget liver detox things like artichoke and milk thistle. I even had artichoke take away a migraine once. :)

    every time I have more dreams and nightmares

    I have been taking arginine, thistle and artichoke this time and I have noticed benefits but not in sleep. Sleep remains the same or even worse, there are times when I wake up and I cannot think, my mind is very heavy and I am very sleepy. They have to do a sleep study on me but who knows when

    Has anyone tried Bimuno prebiotic..?

    Both jicama and artichokes are good sources of prebiotics. I eat both of them frequently, and they really help my digestion. A couple of stores here have frozen artichoke hearts in resealable bags. They cook in just a few minutes on the stovetop. I eat jicama raw, cut into french-fry shapes. I...

    every time I have more dreams and nightmares

    I don't think I've ever heard of sea thistle before. I'll have to look that one up. With the artichoke, I think you're fine to take a full capsule once a day near or just before a meal. Are the other ones you list a supplement of all three mixed together (ornithine with arginine and sea...

    every time I have more dreams and nightmares

    ...a while ago I think I took milk thistle for a long time but I don't remember much either and I don't know how I took it. I bought the artichoke, ornithine with arginine and sea thistle, how should I take all this? At the moment I am taking only artichoke which they also say is used for...

    NAC did something bad to me -- please help

    ...may be that that pathway is clogged in yours and maybe slowing down other liver detoxing as well. (Just an uneducated guess.) I would try artichoke to help clear the liver. Not milk thistle though as it's another sulfur/thiol. (Warning on the artichoke bottle says not to take it if you have...

    every time I have more dreams and nightmares

    Have you tried doing things to cleanse your liver? Ornithine lowers ammonia and is supposed to help with sleep. Artichoke gets the liver/gallbladder moving a little better too.

    Headache so I'm sick of headaches

    ...most of the times now I just take a Tylenol Junior strength 180mg. It will at least take the edge off. I've also had times when taking an artichoke pill helps. I think it helps to clear toxins from the liver and gallbladder. I think sometimes when our detox systems get bogged down we can get...

    Digesting Fat with Liver Issues

    New mystery illness after mosquitos, pesticide and travel. Would appreciate ID/opinions :)

    I would suspect the spraying for the insects did it. Maybe try some very gentle liver detoxing to see if that helps. I've never had a bad or harsh reaction to artichoke but of course, everyone is different. Also try to avoid further chemical exposures which will just add to your toxic load.

    Gallbladder (Bile) and SIBO

    There have been times when I can feel my gallbladder release bile after I have taken artichoke in capsule form. The bottle even has a warning not to take if a person has gallstones because what I understand can happen is they get released and then bile duct can get clogged with the stones...

    Chinese skullcap seems to correct PEM/the energy problem in ME

    I posted a study earlier in the thread, albeit in chickens. I have not tried boswellia. Curcumin did not have any noticeable effect except for making GI issues worse, but that was when my gut issues were pretty bad, maybe I should try it again.

Again, curcumin may be helpful, as well as milk thistle, artichoke, and other botanicals, as well as mitochondrial support nutrients.

    Overheated Liver?

    ...These toxins (LPS) need to be detoxified from the body and the main organ that does that is the liver. So taking herbs like milk thistle, artichoke extract, burdock root and dandelion root can help support the liver in detoxifying these. Alpha lipoic acid and N-acetyl-l-cysteine are also...
