I do know that when I tried to add some tumeric every day (and not very much) that I ended up with nose bleeds! When I stopped taking tumeric daily, they went away (pretty immediately).
Hi pamojja~ If I were deficient in Vitamin K, I would think the bleeding would not have stopped when I stopped the daily tumeric...

No, I don't mix them in water, that must make an interesting tasting concoction indeed. I'm just taking one tablespoon of each spice a day directly in my mouth and swallowing it down as fast as I can with a big gulp of water on empty stomach.I'm just curious, @Monty79, how did you take that much of so many spices? A whole tablespoon each day? Did you just add them to your food, or just mix them in water and drink them?

I mean teaspoon of each not tablespoon of course, I'm very sorry.Do you mean tablespoon or teaspoon? A tablespoon of clove powder, triphala, turmeric, cumin seeds, cinnamon, and dried oregano daily?
Congrats on your return of health!!
Yes, I'm convinced that my improvement in health is due to gut bacteria, very much so. But everyone has to try for themselves of course.Those convinced that the effect is due to gut bacteria can try that test (with whichever spices/herbs) too.

No, this did not happen to me. But I'm really just taking cloves, cinnamon,oregano, triphala, cummin seeds... the ones I described in my opening post. I think their positive effects for me was due to their antimicrobial properties in the gut, those herbs have no stimulating effects to the thyroid or the immune system at all.@Monty79
I found that when l took herbs which stimulated the immune system, my thyroid seemed to get worse which l pressumed to be due to the thyroid antibodies increasing. So this did not happen to you?

What kind of herbs did you take you think stimulated your thyroid or immune system? I only know about Ashwagandha, and yes, this herb is stimulating the thyroid for me too. I couldn't sleep for days after taking 500mg, I still have a whole bottle of these, maybe I will try again in the future, but I don't think so.
I¨ve never researched about black seed oil or frakensence, but Amla makes 1/3 of the triphala formulation and I never read about Amla being immune stimulating?Black seed oil, frankensence, and Amla come to mind.
