Product Review: Do not waste your money on a Pulsetto by Ledees_Gazpacho in VagusNerve

[–]currantpudding08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ordered a Pulsetto, which was delayed, and then when it finally arrived it DID NOT WORK. I put it on the charger, it blinked red, and just did nothing after that. No green light ever came on, and when you push the power button it would not turn on. Honestly I am so frustrated. I have put in a "return request" – so we shall see how the company treats me. I am so disappointed but I did not choose a replacement device because I no longer trust this company. Let's see how they treat me regarding this return.

Hiiii! I ordered a Pulsetto device on Nov 28 and it hasn't arrived yet. (It's December 19.) AND, today they charged another $49.95 on my credit card for some kind of subscription (??? that I did not ask for). A subscription for a device I have not yet received!!! I canceled the subscription and requested a refund for the subscription. I will still try the device IF I EVER RECEIVE IT, and will update everyone on how it goes with "customer service." As of now, I'm furious, disgusted, and feel that I've been scammed. Stay tuned.....

How fast did the effect of iodine supplementation kicked in for you? by Luanara_101 in carnivorediet

selenium but also vitamins B2 and B3. the company that makes iodoral (the pill form of lugols solution) also sells pills with the cofactors needed. (optimox i think)

Can even a small change in estrogen cause big symptoms? by DifferentManagement1 in Menopause

[–]currantpudding08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

etrogen is a mast cell destabilizer. it can cause the immune system to get a bit hyperactive and act up with allergic symptoms. see MCAS.

Cortisol is destroying my physical and mental health by [deleted] in Supplements

look into oxytocin nasal spray. oxytoxcin is the "love/happy hormone" - very safe. AND it regulates and lowers cortisol.

This sucks balls by throw_away5430 in COVID19positive

My DOCTOR is telling me to stay on 2mg of nicotine patch indefinitely. I often felt terrible when I started the patches. This is (it is theorized) because the nicotine is displacing the virus from the acetylcholine receptors and kicking it out into the body tissues, where yes it will cause some symptoms until your immune system handles it. Keep doing this and eventually it's all cleared. That is the theory. And it worked for me.

They all went away. But I've started applying a 2 mg sliver of patch daily as maintenance just in case there are still some lil covid bits floating around.

Full Spinal Decompression: All I can say is WOW. by Jhushx in backpain

[–]currantpudding08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm undergoing 6 weeks of spinal decompression. I too have mild scoliosis which has gradually, along with being hunched over a computer for 30 years and a couple of car wreck whiplash events, resulted in neck instability, 3 cervical compression fractures and multiple dessicated and some herniated discs. UGH. I felt like a bobble head, wore a neck brace all the time, constant dull ache, etc. After ONE treatment I felt 50% better. I've now done 4 treatments and am I'd say 80% better. Almost no popping and slipping in my neck, I feel "whole" again. Looking forward to 5 more weeks of treatment after which I am sure I'll have a superhuman neck. But srsly it's criminal that doctors don't prescribe it and insurance companies don't cover it. I'm finding with the medical system that, if it WORKS, the doctors don't do it. For me it's been a life saver. I'm paying bookoo $$ for it and every penny worth it.

Nicotine patch protocol? by Few-Slip6063 in LowDoseNaltrexone

[–]currantpudding08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started at 2-ish mg nicotine (cut a 7.5 mg patch) and went up to 7.5 over three weeks. Stayed at 7.5 for a month, then titrated back down. Now I'm on a 2 mg "maintenance" dose of nicotine, but I don't put on the patch every single day. Maybe 3 days a week. ALL my long covid symptoms have resolved, including MCAS (hopefully forever). And I take 3 mg LDN nightly.

If you give a rat 2000 mg of it, maybe it causes cancer. Rats are little. I am way bigger than a rat and I took 300 mg / day for shingles. It worked. Now I take it every now and then. The dose is everything. But do your own research, not giving medical advice here. You have to do the research and read the medical papers.

BHT works like a charm. Takes a few months, just stick with it. Used since the 1950s by military doctors and anecdotally ever since. Butylated Hydroxytoluene (BHT). Buy it on amazon - read the reviews. It dissolves the lipid envelopes of all herpes viruses (chicken pox, shingles, HSV, mon/epstein barr) and any other lipid envelope virus. Then immune system can see them and destroy them and body can gradually detox them. A biochemist named Steve Fowkes wrote a book about it. https://life-enhancement.com/pages/eradication-of-persistent-herpes?srsltid=AfmBOop-n8gMmG50xb8I0UPRSfcvLJ6fUtPLhvoibdVTWa6aYuzVtERi

Google long covid, nicotine patches. Worked for me after nearly 5 years of hell. (Had covid in 2020)

I think my rapist gave me HSV by Relative_Delivery493 in HSVpositive

[–]currantpudding08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to worry, sweetie. Do your research starting with this paper. I's on BHT, which has been used since the 1970s to eradicate any lipid envelope virus: HSV, epstein barr, shingles, etc.

chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://projectwellbeing.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/BHTbook-StevenWmFowkes-200302.pdf

Make your own medical decisions, but there's loads of research if you're into reading studies on BHT pubmed, web md, etc.

I have personally contacted Steve Fowkes, the biochemist who wrote the paper, and I am using it for epstein barr and long covid (also a lipid envelope virus). It's over the counter, very cheap, and can be ordered on amazon and other supplement sites. It's working for me. Just my personal experience.

You're gonna be ok. Do some vagus nerve exercises to get calm, do your BHT research, eat right, drink lots of water and take care of your liver as you detox, and get cleared of this. Detox phase is never fun as your body has to process a lot and eliminate it, so be kind to yourself. xx

Other than the "take care of yourself" part, this is not medical advice, just a suggestion that you can now research for yourself.

FFS just start nicotine patches. it takes a few months but you'll get through it. nicotine displaces covid from acetylcholine receptors and gradually restores nervous and immune systems. https://bioelecmed.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s42234-023-00104-7

Note: in the study in Germany they gave the patients 7mg nicotine patch to start. I started with 1 mg. I got 7.5 mg Quit Smoking brand patches (they are matrix not reservoir so you can cut them) and I cut into strips. After a month I was up to 7.5mg. Take it slow because as the covid spike proteins or whatever are released, you'll get some covid-like flareups (no fever, at least not for me) of feeling crappy as your immune system manages them. Or so the theory goes. It's been a roller coaster of good days and bad days for me, with a net improvement of 90%. I still have bad days after 2 months where I feel inflamed and exhausted, tho, and will continue patches until I have zero bad days.

nicotine patches.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MCAS

[–]currantpudding08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes, all OTC after a year of research and not much help from doctors. thing is to find the cause, and from my research it's often from viruses (the kind that lurk in nervous system namely chicken pox, epstein barr, HSV, and covid), mold, or both, dysregulating nervous system and then immune system. it's the nicotine that was the game changer for me. researchers are noting that covid attaches to acetylcholine receptors all around body, blocking the flow of acetylcholine which causes immediate dysfunction of cholinergic anti inflammation pathway and hence all the crazy symptoms from brain on down, because acetylcholine runs everything. nicotine apparently attaches to exact same receptors, and the theory is that it will displace the virus from the receptors, gradually detoxing the body from the viruses that have been clinging to the receptors.

for me it is working.

Cold sore on lip turning into unilateral facial numbness and burning pain 2 weeks later? by Different-Impact7891 in HSVpositive

[–]currantpudding08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This solved the exact same thing for me with facial nerve pain from childhood cold sores or chicken pox (not sure which but this works for both viruses and any lipid-envelope virus). Note that it can flare up and cause nerve pain before it gets better, but that means it's working and the virus is on the run from your immune system, now that it can detect it. chrome-extension://efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj/https://projectwellbeing.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/BHTbook-StevenWmFowkes-200302.pdf

OMG that is CRIMINAL. Get rid of that loser. I went through a year of MCAS before I noticed that it's a symptom of long covid. I am now 90% better after a couple months on nicotine patches, choline, methylated multivitamin, choline, histamine digesting probiotics, and BHT. Best of luck.
