I've felt great for over a month... thought I should share what I'm taking

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

I knew I was going to be asked that...

Honestly, idk if I even want to get into it, and make things more complicated for others than needed.... I just, sort of felt obligated to share it with y'all, in hopes that it helps someone else.

But the complicated part is why we're here

Like, existentially?

LOL. No, I meant that the 'complicated' explanations are the ones that help us decide whether something might fit our particular situations. Or if it might not. So if you want to, it could be helpful to share why you think the elements of your supplement plan have worked.

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

Thank you for the info! I guess i have to stay away from it for now

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.
