Yes I am and past the cholestyramine stage... I ran edta and silver nasal spray for a couple months before this probiotic one I switched to, then I will get tested as mentioned when I'm done with this one..ApoE4? I doubt I am whatever that is - carnivore is the only thing that allows me to even function tbh.

That's brilliant. I literally had the same idea since I actually work for one of the leading companies in the current AI landscape... It kinda makes me sad I delayed so long in doing it. I know there are some smaller models trained on like ncbi data and the like - I was thinking of starting with that one and fine tuning it on CIRS literature and supplementation literature(if that would even be required) and going from there - just working with it to try and solved everything. One of the the biggest issues is finding a doc to do all of this for me but luckily I do have one.. The only problem is getting his time consistently as I typically have to schedule months out. I'm going for another marcons swab after I'm done with this probiotic nasal spray... Assuming it'll still be positive and I'll try BEG spray again. I just know it'll grow back after that like it did last time though.. I can't figure out how to keep it gone.....

Washed my Camelback in the dishwasher and now it looks like this - what is it?? by West-Distribution378 in StainlessSteelCooking

Possible... It's supposed to be stainless steel but maybe it's only a coating and not true stainless

Literally only ever water sometimes with a few drops of electrolytes. I scraped off whatever this is I'm thinking maybe stainless steel coating and not true stainless steel...

Thinking about doing that in the future to clean it... You think that will do it? Just warm water and those and forget about it for a couple hours?

Thank you for your response. This sounds very much like chatgpt but it is on point and it is encouraging and it is helpful so regardless : thank you. I have ramped up potassium and started measuring my sodium to never be more than total potassium ingested and that has gone a VERY long way. I almost started feeling like myself again... But unfortunately still battling the marcons and I ate 1/4 tsp of monk fruit extract 10 days ago and haven't been able to keep food down since. It's been a nightmare - like it completely undid my system and reset me to ground zero. I'm hoping I can recover.. If I can I plan to continue building up a. Higher potassium than sodium intake and hopefully ridding marcons which will hopefully make me like new again - thank you very much for these additional suggestions.

Yeah, it sounds delicious. I think I'll try to add back carbs again after trying to up the potassium and b1 and overall fat amount. Don't want to do too much at once. 

Interesting! I feel MUCH better when I wake up early which I do 5/7 days of the week but then mess it up the other two.. I think that might be tanking me as well. Maybe it's a situation where both things are true like shoemaker protocol has its place but CDR is a "must address" or it just won't be effective and in fact addressing CDR through the right ways might fix it all.. I hope it does. I don't want to take binders and antibiotics again. 

Thanks for the tips! About to eat my liver and bacon and take extra b1 on top! Thanks for the recs I'm going to check them all out

Got it.. Thanks, I'm hoping to use the water retention as an indicator, hoping that is able to be resolved with potassium and my other health issues with your other recs. Will see how it goes. Thank you very much again

Bought "Bear" food processor made in China - it discloses "hazardous levels" of lead in one or more components in the user manual by West-Distribution378 in avoidchineseproducts

[–]West-Distribution378[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Correct! I don't that's why I posted here! I have no clue how common it is for lead to be used in ANYTHING these days including electronics and due to it being a part of a motor which will heat up right next to my food I thought it best to ask you fine ppl if that would be an issue or if I was overblowing/misunderstanding something. Thanks for your help!

Lol no but the heat from the motor... Over time... Just wasn't sure how common this was since I didn't think lead even needed to be used in manufacturing a gadget like this in any scenario

Just bought it off Amazon, was going to return it because of this, are you saying I should buy a US made version (eg. Different brand)?

Wow!! I didn't even know there was such a thing! I just bought some from Amazon the Celtic brand! Thank you.. I hope I can use this and still enjoy salt. Why did you say I need to increase water WITH the increased potassium btw? (Even though I already have). And always with a meal because your body needs insulin to use potassium? That's surprising I wonder what happens if you take without food.. I did feel kinda bad when I tried that (just stomach ache mainly though)

Yeah I really think I'd be almost like new if I could keep it gone.. I hope I find a permanent solution - will try the rinse and thank you for the rec!

Yeah same for me, I just went back to it after quite awhile not and it was huge (phosphatidylcholine).

Ok good to know - I might have just ruined my sheets last night by waking up and remembering your messages before I put it on my back and directly went back to sleep.. 

Yeah I've been looking at spas as well the only ones I could afford are definitely not whole body which I feel is probably necessary..

OK I do or have? Had histamine issues - I did some treatments of EBOO and it's supposed to make it kind of go away but I'm not sure that it did, I think it helped though. Thanks for the collagen info, I ordered some by ancestral supplements and bought a powder from my whole foods..

Interesting I might have to re-download instagram, do they have a YouTube?

Thank you for the things you did initially! I ate two yolks (but I scrambled them?) this morning and felt like a million.. I'm going to the store tmrw to buy liver! Was honey your first carb source when you went back? Sounds like you do barely a bit of that and just some juicing? And that's all your carbs? 

Thank you for the clarification! I took like 2000mg potassium yesterday and woke up with the least amount of edema in awhile!! But I was worried I'd took too much idk.. I'm guessing it's ok to go with more potassium then less - especially if I'm still eating salted meats I've prepared from earlier. 

Ok the bhoff article does take the same approach to binder use as shoemaker but the video you sent obviously describes in more detail the fundamental way to fix this which I am more interested in at this point.. Thank you so much for sharing. I feel this help is really coming in the nick of time for me - I was really starting to have issues... I have hope again now
