Thanks Art for a well explained researched article!

I do believe high dose B1 plays a very important role in reducing inflammation through my own research.
My question to you, have you ever come across ‘reactive hypoglycaemia' non diabetic? I read somewhere there is a correlation with Dysbiosis and reactive hypoglycaemia.

Interested in your view, I have been reactive hypoglycaemia for 3 year and have been doing strict Keto, it helps but I do find the diet hard sometimes.

Thanks in advance

Sorry you are going through such difficult time. There is more going on than an eye can see. I'd not try any supplements or diet change. I'd recommend to find an experienced acupuncturist and a homeopath. Five Element acupuncturists are trained in homeopathy, but any acupuncturist would work. Ask if they make house calls-some do but charge more.
Homeopathy to my surprise accomplishes more than pharmaceuticals and supplements.

Set your mind for the long term treatment sessions (you are up for months of treatments starting with 2 treatments a week) for the cause of your problem is complex.

Don't try anything on your own, at this point of your suffering you need to be guided.
The only thing I can recommend is to drink warm flax seeds “tea”- simmer flax seeds for 15-20, remove seeds and drink. And absolutely no ibuprofen. Get well soon.

Cecilia, please don't take anything else but a soothing flax seeds tea until you see an acupuncturist and a homeopath. Otherwise you risk worsening of symptoms. Your entire body needs to be brought into homeostasis, and acupuncture could do that.

If you could get a medicinal quality seabuckthorn oil, manufactured in a manufacturing facility in Russia, probably in Altai region, then you can take it - it is a medicine. Don't buy it on Amazon.. Check the Russian shops in your city, but then again read the labels, where and by whom it was manufactured. Your Acupuncturist might have it as well. 90% of this oil on the Market is either fake or for cosmetic purposes.

I can provide the names of trustworthy brands. Let me know. Crazy that even EC blocks my IP address for some reason and it's practically impossible to open russian sites.

Thank you, Michael,

I know an acupunctor but the results don't stay long.

The only Russian in my town have a grocery. I'll go to an homeopath.

Rebuilding Gut Biome During Chemo

That's fantastic research, Art!

Would you be as kind to help me with a problem we have concerning chemo tummy and rebuilding the biome?

My wife has been on low dose chemo now for 2 yrs (adv BC) and this past week she has got severe bloating and gas. I understand how this awful drug kills the biome and causes dysbiosis which no doubt is happening, but I believe it happened a week before and the catalyst was full fat milk, which she stupidly took with cereal (she is also lactose int). Now she's in pain and won't eat anything, obviously wheat, dairy, sugar, caffeine and glutens are a no no.

Can you please tell me what you think will alleviate this problem, please? I have given her Apple Cider Vinegar and bicarb in morns and bedtime and just Apple Cider Vinegar before after foods. Also charcoal, magnesium glycinate with food.

ps she doesn't like ginger.
much appreciated in advance,

Steve.

Art,

I like you have psoriasis and you're right, psoriasis is a really good way to see how things are working depending on how my psoriasis responds to any vitamin or treatment that I do. I recently have been drinking 1 tsp of borax daily. It has made me feel awesome. It is helping me control my candida and also raise testosterone, and help the parathyroid control calcium production. But, it has made my psoriasis really bad. It has spread all of my scalp and has gotten worse in all the areas that I have psoriasis. Do know of any reason why this is? It is making me feel really good but it made my psoriasis quite a bit worse. Should I discontinue use? Thank you

Pistachios Contain and Increase Melatonin in Gut

Pistachios Contain and Increase Melatonin in Gut
Posted by HisJewel (New York) on 08/26/2021

Greetings EC,

If you love pistachio nuts and want to try them for the melatonin experience as par Art's suggestion, check this out.

Here is a recent article about melatonin and pistachios. As I read a few articles from different sites about melatonin and pistachios, it boils down to what they are trying to sell supplements or pistachios. My suggestion is if you like pistachios try them, but take a tip from this Well+Good article.

https://www.wellandgood.com/do-pistachios-have-melatonin/

Here is an excerpt from Well+Good entitled: Pistachios are packed with melatonin…

“If you're trying to test out pistachios for sleep, eat a serving—1/4 cup—an hour before bed, ” suggests Largeman-Roth. “Do this each night for two weeks, and keep a sleep journal to track how it makes you feel, and whether you notice any difference in your ability to fall or stay asleep at night.” As a bonus, you'll also reap the other benefits of pistachios, which contain six grams of protein, three grams of fiber, and a variety of healthy nutrients, like vitamin B6, copper, and manganese in every serving.

Also here is a pubmed about melatonin and pistachios:

I too, was going to have a procedure to remove a tooth due to infection in the dental office and had high blood pressure. My dentist yelled at me and told me to take a pill. I feel she was more upset about losing a sale than my well being. She let me leave without antibiotics. I am excited to try the kefir and sourkraut. Thank you for the info!

Make your own fermented foods, its not hard nor does it take a lot of time and its cheaper and better for you. Use organic ingredients. I've made sauerkraut, kefir, kombucha, pickles.. Youtube and health conscious sites have tutorials etc

Healing Irritable Gut
Posted by Cecilia (Liège, Belgium) on 01/29/2024

HI. I suffer more and more from my irritable gut. I'm 77 years old. Medical analyses show no lesion but a very long colon (2m). I endure aches, swellings, cramps. Sometimes, I feel so bad that I spent a half day laying on the sofa, waiting for "it" to become less hard or less moved. Sometimes, it's rigid like wood, sometimes, I feel it like a snakes battel. I feel internal and external trembles and I become to be very anxious. relaxing remedies have almost no effect. And heal nothing. One of two days after, I'm anew in the same bad state.

Rebuilding Gut Biome During Chemo

Thank you very much for that, Art. I will be buying those recommendations for sure.

Art, since I last messaged it seems the problem is infact with the liver. I would think obviously a chemo toxicity problem because the fluid build is from Ascites. I am really shocked as she was doing so well. Now she is not in a good place, she's not eating or drinking enough, quite frankly I want her to rethink the treatment and do everything naturally or with repurposed drugs such as febadazonel, ldn etc.

I really thought I would have a game plan or the correct words to make her see sense being it did not work originally for a bump on the breast. I myself have adhd and lately my once cognitive brain has since left me and I feel totally inadequate to the person I was. She says she's confused by it all and needs to talk it through with someone other than me. Would you know if there Is there a place or somebody with a similar story who has had a ‘Miraculous Remission' as they say that maybe able to advise her?

In reply to my last post I did a quick search for niacin and breast cancer. It might not be a good idea to use niacin.

All my research showed so many cancers is why I mentioned it. But might not include breast cancer.

Probiotic Foods
Posted by Gracie (Nottingham) on 07/30/2021

Hi, I've just come across a recipe for pickling whole cloves of garlic in apple cider vinegar, and wondered whether the resultant garlic would be classed as probiotic, or just pickled garlic.

The recipe says to take whole bulbs of garlic with the skin still on, place them in jars, and cover with apple cider vinegar, and leave for as long as possible.

Apple cider vinegar is fermented.
