Concerning GFRT Probiotics,
this may be of interest; I had not fully realised that GFRT is a Probiotic Colonic treatment from the Dove Clinic and would not be affecing the small bowel; ''It is the process of implanting the beneficial intestinal bacteria and yeasts, from specific varied probiotic supplements, in significant quantities, not affecting the small intestine. I will have to try it if I can get funding. It has reportedly had a beneficial effect on the microbiome for ''Allergies, Asthma, Obesity, Cancer, Chronic. Fatigue Syndrome, Parkinson's Disease, Irritable Bowel Syndrome and Ulcerative Colitis.''

GFRT - Gut Flora Replacement Therapy - The Dove Clinic
Is this available to purchase, or does one need to be a patient?? Thank you

As you are knowledgeable about probiotics, why do you think this particular one might be beneficial, and what might it address. I wrote to the Dove clinic, and they want a consult first before shipping out any supplements, or probiotics. Anxious to hear. Thank you

Can Ginkgo biloba be used together with antidepressants? I really want to try it but i’m on a (low) dose Venlafaxine.

That's actually one herbal that is included on Drugs.com's interaction checker. (Most are not.) https://www.drugs.com/drug-interactions/ginkgo,ginkgo-biloba-index.html

Sorry, it is on the list for moderate interactions. :(

Here is the "professional interaction" view which gives a little more info: https://www.drugs.com/drug-interact...afaxine-1174-10621-2296-0.html?professional=1

I knew what you meant. I was joking.

I have too many guesses as to which thing has helped the most. I just don't like answering questions when my uncertainty is so high.

I really think most of this stuff has played a solid role.
