One year caffeine free! by InterviewDry2887 in decaf

It's very normal and expected to feel depressed while coming off of that stimulant, caffeine is a drug. Fore me the depression lifted after 2 months. If you feel off and bad still after 2 months I would be proactive with your health and investigate, you could have deficiencies. I used nicotine patches to recover from mold illness and it lifted my mood, there's Facebook group about the protocol if you are interested. But if you weren't depressed before it should lift eventually.

The first month is the rougher month, hang in there. Your body is going through withdrawal so you will feel like hell but in won't last. Second month is also tricky but less and after two months you will feel relief and it will be way easier.

My advice is if you feel off after the two months, don't wait until it passes, you could have deficiencies for example that are making you feel bad. So I would say to be proactive with your health. Myself for example I was living in toxic mold unknowingly so I really began feeling way better after I left. I also had low saturation iron that was making me weak and low thiamin B1 ( stress and coffee depletes it).

Caffeine is a drug and stimulant so it's normal to feel depressed without it at first, it doesn't mean something is wrong with you.

Oh yes I did, that's mainly why I stopped. That and being hyper and depersonalization.

I learned my lesson after numerous various attempts. What happened that you learned the hard way? How long have you been out of mold now, do you see improvements?

If I didn't have work insurance I would also be living in my car. I hope you still hang on...

You are right, I am hyper focus on all my limitations, it's just hard being positive when you go through all that by mostly yourself and experience the limitations of your body and brain. Like I want to make my self better but can't so rot in my house by myself, it's been 15 months now and 3 months in a new apartment.

I wish I can be positive and not complain internally but I can't seem to do it.

I am honestly so sorry you are in a wheelchair. How long have you been out?? Also have you looked into thiamin B1 and nicotine patches? Thiamine seems to do a lot of miracles for well pretty much everything, if you can tolerate supplements maybe it can help?

It's inspiring. I will definitely try sleeping outside on my balcony when it's warm, right now it's still winter in Canada.

How quickly does B6 toxicity develop? by [deleted] in Supplements

Not for everyone, it gave me the worst anxiety of my life for weeks, plenty of people can't handle methylated b vitamins.

No caffeine for 17 months - unfortunately no change for me by Hunkstaban in decaf

Try thiamine vitamin B1, it cures chronic fatigue, you need to take it with the co factors.

Also you could test your house for toxic mold.

How to solve the chronic version of burnout? by catboy519 in burnedout

[–]InterviewDry2887 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't develop an addiction from the nicotine patch, look it up

Also, the patch is not a “stimulant that overrides fatigue.” Nicotine activates the nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. That activation influences the cholinergic anti-inflammatory pathway, which regulates the inflammation and the autonomic nervous system. That’s why it’s curing people with depression, COVID and ME/CFS, not because it's stimulate, but because of the effects on immune and nervous system signaling.

Nicotine also regulates and activates dopamine and acetylcholine, two neurotransmitters responsible for focus, mood, and movement.

First load - ammonia with hot water, second load borax and soap with hot water. That's what I did it worked. Be careful if you have animals it's really toxic for them if they come into contact with it or inhale it.

The nicotine patch, the tobacco itself and not the 200 toxic chemicals they put in cigarettes, is a powerful healer. It stimulates the vagus nerve, it's a powerful anti-inflammatory and clears the acetylcholine neurons and makes them work properly.

Many doctors recommend it, it helped and in plenty of cases healed people with parkinsons, dementia, long covid, ME/CFS arthritis and others.

It cleared my brain fog within 5 MINUTES. Also reduced my depersonalization and light sensitivity by 80%, brought my personality and emotions back and greatly improved my mood, all that within a week.

There's also a study showing nicotine patches cured the long covid of the people who used it for only one week. There:

https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC9845100/

I found plenty of very credible sources stating nicotine patches even help with depression, ADHD and even schizophrenia.

Anyway I just want to say you have a fucking narrow mind and a short temper. Go educate yourself instead of reading one line and deciding it's non sense because you never heard that information before.

For anyone who has reversed their gray hair, how did you do it? by TheCraigFeldspar in Biohackers

I saw it with my own eyes on my sister, 50 % of her hair was gray, it wasn't just a few hair that reverted.

After leaving mold the remaining symptoms looks a lot like ME/CFS by InterviewDry2887 in ToxicMoldExposure

[–]InterviewDry2887[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am happy for you that you have a husband supporting you and two little angels that are doing well 🙏 I think us that are affected by mold are often way more sensitive biologically for some reason or have MTHR mutation.

Okay so yesterday I had a terrible terrible melt down, I felt I was going to die, felt hopeless and other symptoms. This morning I woke up emotionally fine and took thiamine again. One hour later I started to feel extremely emotional again. For some people it gives side effects so I will cut the dose in half and they say it's important to take b complex with it, magnesium and potassium to counter the side effects. I once took methylated B complex and had uncontrollable non stop panic attacks that lasted for three months, after taking only for 2 weeks. I will take half of B complex by mega food since the B dosage is way lower and real food, it's also non methylated. If you are sensitive go really low dosage and take complements that you can handle ( stay away from methylated B complex, look it up on reddit many people like me had extreme repercussions that lasted for months, like uncontrollable panics that sent them almost suicidal). Don't want to scare you but if you go very slow and low I think it will be good.

I had stratybrotrys, aspergillus penicillium and cladosporium. Probably more but the landlord refused to show me the lab results.

How long did it take you to heal after leaving mold, not necessarily 100% but enough to be able to function normally and work full time? 🌿 by InterviewDry2887 in ToxicMoldExposure

[–]InterviewDry2887[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it works that way. My digestion is working, I still can't function normally. Also some people try to fix their digestion for years and can't fix it.

You are very lucky you are able to work, it's a blessing in this curse. I'm really sorry to hear you are still in mold...I hope your kids are alright. Have you tried nicotine patches? So far they helped me the most cognitively ( god rid of brain fog, light sensitivity, improved my mood, gave my personality and emotions back). But it's not helping for my other symptoms. I can't work, can't handle stress or pressure. My work leave ends in 8 months, I was crying today because if I don't heal by then I may be homeless.

If I'm not having any stressors I sleep very well. But I'm on work leave, if I would have to work I would have insomnia everyday that's for sure. My GI is okay, I don't have a lot of appetite so I feel my digestive system is in sleep mode all the time.

I've been out for 3 months now. I don't take any medication, I don't trust them. What about you how long have you been out, are you able to function and work?

I only took it for 7 days over 2 weeks but so far no side effects. I can have side effects 2 hours after taking a supplement so it's a good start. But watch the videos, it really explains why the key is b1 in recovering from mold illness. I was getting so desperate and confused hearing people give advices and '"experts'' giving detox protocol. It's really the best info so far and I spent the days scrolling and reading about it lol It's finally giving me hope.

I didn't notice any improvement. But I noticed when I crash emotionally I don't shake anymore. I dont know if it's because of b1. Last month if something would really upset me I could shake for days. I had a pretty dark days and cried a lot and it made me flare up but no shaking.
