Re: Infertility
2 months agoI just want to tell the women that are either not having periods or cannot get pregnant. When I was 27 my periods completely stopped for approximately 20 years. I read a book that had just been released Ancient Secrets of a Master Healer it tells you to incorporate fennel into your diet there is also a story of an Italian lady aged 50 wanted to have a baby and she did after being told what to add to her diet. After reading this I started taking fennel and with a couple of months my periods came back it was September weekend I was amazed &|delighted at the same time because it had been so long a time without them it was the heaviest period I had ever had I was 47 years old and I am now 55 & my periods are more regular than ever in my teenage years. So please get this book and some fennel ladies and I'm sure your prayers will be answered. I ask one thing from you to come back here and leave me a comment if yours too comes back & that you are pregnant. All the very best to all my sisters love to you all xxx

2 months agoSome additional info
Two main enzymes break down histamine. First diamine oxidase (DAO) in the gut and histamine-N-methyltransferase (HNMT) for the nervous system. On Amazon you can look for histamine enzymes.
BioEnergyLife histamine control has both enzymes. Two revive DAO in the gut you need to kill off bad bacteria and reestablish good bacteria. Nutrients that support diamine oxidase (DAO) enzyme activity include copper, vitamin B6, vitamin C, zinc, magnesium, phosphorus, iron, calcium, and vitamin B12. These nutrients are essential for the proper functioning and synthesis of DAO in the body.
Nutrients that support HNMT (histamine N-methyltransferase) include vitamin B6, vitamin C, and copper. A food based multivit/min and probotics essential. Liver cleansing and kidney cleansing imperative.

Re: Borax Dosage
2 months agoWith respect, I think you might be conflating the teaspoon of borax in a litre of water (which provides the concentrate according to Newnham protocol) with the teaspoon of this concentrate which is then ingested... giving you the 3mg boron in the ingested teaspoon solution. (It's a teaspoon (5ml) of a litre of water with a teaspoon dissolved in it initially) This ongoing confusion is because of the two very different protocols of Newnham and Ted)

2 months agoThank you for saying so, Chad.
I read a lot of studies and seem to retain certain information that helps me to research in a better way than I was able to in years gone by. I also try to put ideas together to help choose appropriate supplements for specific health issues. I have been working on something I refer to as the Positive Health Loop (PHL) for over 5 years now and it seems to be starting to come together in a meaningful way for health in general, but I still have a ways to go with it and hope to write about it on EC sooner than later.
Why I do it is because I think I was meant to do it, but that is a very subjective question for me to answer and probably not a very clear answer.
Since you like glycine, you might consider using magnesium glycinate at a dose that at least reaches the RDA for men of elemental magnesium because a bioavailable form of magnesium, such as magnesium glycinate, contains both magnesium and glycine at a fairly high dose if you are getting at least the RDA of elemental magnesium. Magnesium Glycinate has a large amount of glycine, but a much lesser magnesium content. So for most products it will require 4 to 5 capsules or pills per day. Here is a link to one that I like:
Note that each tablet only contains 100 mg of elemental magnesium and the RDA for men is 420 mg. So 4 tablets will get you to 400 mg of elemental magnesium and you will have to get the remainder from your food intake. Here is what Google AI has to say about Myotonic Dystrophy and Magnesium Glycinate :
- Reduced Muscle Spasms & Cramps: Magnesium glycinate acts as a natural muscle relaxant by competing with calcium at the neuromuscular junction, which may help "quiet" involuntary muscle contractions.
- Improved Muscle Relaxation: Studies have shown that extracellular magnesium can help reduce myotonia in certain muscle models.
- Better Energy Utilization: By stabilizing the Mg-ATP complex, magnesium supports mitochondrial function, which may help with cellular fatigue.
- Gentle Absorption: Magnesium glycinate is often preferred over other forms (like magnesium oxide) because it is highly bioavailable and less likely to cause digestive issues like diarrhea.
On a somewhat related note, mag oil spray is very good for rapid relief from muscle cramping or stiff or tight muscles. Here is a link to a typical product :
This is what Google AI has to briefly say about NOW brand being sold by the family :
:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
' NOW Foods, the well-known manufacturer of natural products and supplements founded in 1968, has never been sold and remains a family-owned and operated company. Despite receiving frequent offers to purchase the company, the Richard family maintains its independence.

Re: Continued Gut Health Issues 15 Months After Stomach Flu
2 months agoYou need to stay away from fermented foods/high histamine. Any time infection histamine levels rise. Eat low histamine foods. Take a echinacea, elderberry tea, twice a day until run out. Get low histamine probiotics and take one daily for three months. Take Turmeric with bio-perine, twice a day. You may need to take astragulus after tea, two a day for 1 to 3 months. It's anti -viral and bacterial and levels out immune system, adaptogenic. You may need to see acupuncturist so they can work with nerves to level out digestive tract. Auricular Therapy uses seeds if you don't like needles.
Re: Need Suggestions for 3 Months of Hives
2 months agoHives is tuff. Sounds like your doing good stuff. You may be having gut problems. Low Histamine probiotics would be helpful. If you smoothie put a 1/4 teaspoon of garlic twice daily to clear bacterial issues. Need to take food base multi vit/min. lack of nutrients can leave you to be allergic to the food you eat. ex. low potassium can make diary allergic thus less abortion of nutrients and inflammation and increased histamine. Cleaning out your liver and kidneys aid in getting rid of histamine. Any allergy can cause histamine to rise even as simple as laundry detergent or a long time supplement for high blood pressure. I would go to a Naturopathic Doctor and acupuncturist to help resolve issues. They can give you a mast cell test and histamine test, check your thyroid.
Be self aware read this site and focus on what is causing issue.

Continued Gut Health Issues 15 Months After Stomach Flu
2 months agoI had the stomach flu over a year ago, and have had residual symptoms (e.g., nausea, abdominal tenderness, etc.) ever since.
Symptoms come and go, but have not completely gone away.
I saw a GI specialist last summer, who prescribed Omeprazole to give my GI trac a chance to heal. When I weaned off, as prescribed, the symptoms came back full-force.
Since then, I took probiotics for a month, and I've been trying to drink kombucha and eat fermented foods, when available. I did aloe vera juice for a month or two, which did cut down on the inflammation but has since stopped helping.
I saw another gi specialist this past week, who had good reviews.She suggested I do a low-FODMAP diet for two weeks, and suggested IBGard (peppermint oil capsules) to help manage symptoms in the meantime while I waited to get the colonoscopy and endoscopy she was ordering.After starting her suggestion actions, I felt worse instead of better and started rethinking the action plan. The more I thought about it (especially in light of the worsening symptoms), the more it seemed to miss the mark.
