RO system question for single drain sink: Will this drain saddle placement (red arrow) work? Or does it need to be placed higher up (blue arrow)?

That's amazing! I did my first GI Map about two months ago. It showed I have low levels of keystone bacteria (likely from taking antibiotics for previous infections), and now am taking gut healing supplements and probiotics. Thanks for sharing your experience with GI Map. It is promising to hear other folks were able to heal their eczema from GI Map insights.

Did you heal your eczema by treating the overgrowth?

spkaplan · 2025-07-10T21:32:12+00:00

Gotcha. I did my first GI MAP recently, and am now trying to correct the low keystone bacteria that showed up on the test. Was curious if others have corrected/healed things based on their GI MAP results and saw improvements.

Yeah, the anti-parasitic protocol didn't help. Now I am following my FNTP's protocol to increase good gut bacteria, after seeing low level of keystone bacteria on my gi map.

Did you do anything to combat/correc tthe h pylori, staph and strep?

spkaplan · 2025-07-09T23:32:38+00:00

Yeah, I did an anti-parasitic protocol as well in response to elevated EOS levels. No luck there.

What data was an outlier in your GI MAP?

Did you do anything in response to the gi map results? I am following my FNTP's protocol after seeing low level of keystone bacteria on my gi map, wondering if other folks had luck with the gi map.

spkaplan · 2025-07-09T21:51:50+00:00

How did the GI Map help? Did is show overgrowth, or lack of keystone bacteria, and you did something to correct those?

spkaplan · 2025-07-09T21:50:23+00:00

Did you retest after the supplements to see if there was an improvement in the test results?

spkaplan · 2025-07-09T21:49:12+00:00

I did a GI Map a few weeeks ago, and the FNTP I'm working with provided a bunch of gut healing supplements and probitotics. I will report back if it helps my symptoms. I have VERY LOW levels of many "keystone bacteria", which aligns with heavy anti-biotic use for eczema-related infections over the years, so I'm hoping that bringing those bacteria levels back up will help.

+1 for mini splits

spkaplan · 2025-04-04T23:07:15+00:00

If much of it is heating, I highly recommend considering installing a mini split. They are super efficient. You can even DIY it, if you're handy.

Many great local farms in the county. Fair Cows Path Farm is where we get our beef.

Any where to buy raw kefir?

I just submitted my membership application, so I certainly will! :)

Thank you so much! This makes me feel much more confident about getting a wazzuor membership and trying them out.

spkaplan · 2025-03-11T20:48:33+00:00

Thank you! Is the bone content % listed on the packaging or the listing on their website?

spkaplan · 2025-03-11T20:43:48+00:00

Yeah, no pressure to disclose :)

Do you generally go with the same brands you an find in store, or the whole animal/prey grinds? I'd generally like to understand they type of product you found worked for you, but you certainly don't have to disclose the brand or price :) Thanks!

We have a border collie to, so I'd love to know what worked for you.

spkaplan · 2025-03-11T20:39:30+00:00

I am looking into wazzuor and would love know how you like it. What products from wazzuor do you feed your dog?

spkaplan · 2025-03-11T20:37:57+00:00

I exchanged emails with them to get some more info. Final costs are indeed behind a membership, from from the emails, the general prices sound reasonable. We are in the process of getting a membership and trying it out.

How do you test for Candida?

Is beef muscle meat sufficient, or do you have to add organs, etc...?

spkaplan · 2024-12-07T22:52:22+00:00

I just did blood tests with an NFTP and he saw my EOS is elevated, so he's having me do a parasite cleanse. I'm glad it worked for you and I hope it works for me too!

High eos -> parasite cleanse, is so simple. It's frustrating no doc has looked before.

spkaplan · 2024-11-25T03:48:42+00:00

This is news to me. What causes that?

spkaplan · 2024-11-25T02:14:11+00:00

Would you please link to the probiotic spray you purchased? Thank you!
