“Your eyesight is bad and only going to get worse.” This is a lie. You can improve it with: •⁠ ⁠Light therapy •⁠ ⁠Eye exercises •⁠ ⁠Supplements •⁠ ⁠Diet A thread on how to use these methods for sharp, hawk-like vision. 🧵

Does your tongue look like this (on the left)? You likely have a yeast or candida problem. & this could be the reason for your skin, anxiety and ADHD issues. Let's breakdown how to fix it:

I had fatigue, brain fog, and severe migraines... western medicine couldn't help me get better. Instead I took a holistic approach and completely transformed my health. & the root cause of my issues face us all. Let's discuss what they were and exactly how I fixed them:

Drink pomegranate juice if you want to supercharge your glutathione stores.

Drinking sparkling water or adding 2 (up to 4) teaspoons of bicarbonate to your daily drinking water can do far more for your health than you think.

Waking up during nighttime sleep ruins your hormones and energy for the next day. & metabolic issues are commonly the cause due to poor blood glucose control. A simple fix? Having 1 table spoon of honey before bed. Could honey 🐝 any more awesome?

If you become easily manic or once you're sad/anxious you cannot let things go, then the very first steps you need to take are taking 3-4g of glycine with each meal daily and optimize pathways of methylation. You're likely low in an enzyme called COMT, which relies on methyl groups to break down dopamine. Thus is you're low in COMT, methyl groups become even more important. The best way you can support this is regular glycine and optimizing methylation.

People who are anxious spend most of the day looking within 1-2 meters of themselves. Their phone, laptop, the ground, a magazine. People who are relaxed spend more of the day looking further away. The horizon, a sunset, a nice view, people around them. It’s because the latter takes gratitude and contentedness to do. The closer your gaze, the closet your problems will be. The further your gaze, the further away your problems will be.

Simply drinking pomegranate juice daily for 12 weeks reduced inflammatory markers and endotoxin load while improving genes regulating the gut lining in people with IBD remission. The study intervention used 125 mL of pom juice twice daily after meals. Pomegranate juice always wins.

Zinc is required for hair growth. Chris Masterjohn made an interesting observation zinc deficiency doesn't show up in an HTMA test (while high zinc does). Reason for this being that the body would rather lose hair than zinc when low. In any case, particularly in women, restoring zinc levels yields great hair regrowth outcomes (if optimizing iron is done along side it).

As someone who looks at anywhere from 5-40 sets of bloodwork weekly, here's patterns I've observed that are useful for people to understand: 1. There is an epidemic of low neutrophils. This means either infection, inflammation or a production issue (to over simplify it). 2.. Slightly raised insulin and HBA1C is very common and is often being missed by practitioners making mold/gut protocols who don't utilise blood chemistry. Blood sugar and metabolic issues can drive gut and microbial issues. 3. Iron anemia is VERY COMMON in women. People saying otherwise have no understanding of blood chemistry. 3. Following on from 2, looking at serum iron and ferritin is USELESS unless you understand how to view it in context of liver enzymes, transferrin/TIBC, hemoglobin, and transferrin sat % 4. Most people with gut issues have a deficiency in either B12, folate, zinc or B6. 5. It's very rare someone's health issues isn't reflected in their blood test. Even if their other practitioners said so. 6. The real hormone epidemic in women is not estrogen overload but progesterone deficiency. Low and high estrogen occur. Low and high testosterone occur. But low progesterone is almost a staple for modern women. 7. If a woman has low testosterone, optimizing it brings great improvement to libido. 8. Slightly raised bilirubin is a GREAT marker of SIBO (although still non specific) 9. Low GGT is thought not to be an issue in many functional blood courses - but in my view it reliably predicts poor health (especially in relation to oxidative stress, endotoxins or mitochondrial dysfunction). 10. Most people have red bloods cells that are too big (indicated by high MCV). This commonly comes from low B12 or folate, or inflammation - and compromises oxygen delivery around the body.

Biohacking your thyroid involves carbohydrates, selenium, iodine, avoiding fluoride, the ratio of copper to zinc, etc. Fixing your thyroid requires fixing your gut/removing mold/endotoxins/inflammation etc, reducing stress and improving your light environment.

I had a parasite (giardia), leaky gut, SIBO, and candida overgrowth - and had very little gut symptoms besides reflux and occasional bouts of gastritis. My symptoms were in other areas such as MCAS, POTS, fibromyaglia, insomnia, poor mood, low libido, hypothyroid, tinnitus, losing hair, brain fog and brain zaps.

Have you ever done nothing before, anon? I mean nothing? Most struggle with the concept. They'll say "so like meditating?" No, I mean nothing. Sit in a room, no task, no music distraction, and do nothing. Try 30 mins, 4 hours for pros. If this sounds like hell to you, then you don't know how to rest, and probably never have.

If you have chronic candida or histamine issues, a vital self experiment you need to do is get glycine powder and take 2g before bed. If you can't tolerate it at all (poor sleep, histamine release, hyperactivity), I recommend highly prioritising investigating methylation and likely giving yourself a methylation protocol . And no, not just methylfolate and B2. There's much more to it (TMG, glutathione, ATP production, redox, suflur, choline, calcium, B1, magnesium, creatine, zinc, potassium, and eventually high and regular doses of glycine, to name a few).

What's the one supplement you noticed the greatest positive effect from?

Sorry to be bearer of bad news... But these are probably not gallstones. In one case example, a woman presenting with stones that looked exactly like this were tested. They lacked any bilirubin, cholesterol or calcium. A quote from this case study: "Experimentation revealed that mixing equal volumes of oleic acid (the major component of olive oil) and lemon juice produced several semi solid white balls after the addition of a small volume of a potassium hydroxide solution. On air drying at room temperature, these balls became quite solid and hard." The stones checked tested high in fatty acids and these fatty acids accounted for 75% of the material. Here reference, here's what hers looked like:

When I stop drinking coffee I feel better. But when I was 18-21 I could drink 4 strong coffees between 2pm and 10pm and sleep like a baby. Now I have one coffee after midday and I don’t sleep well. Is coffee the problem? Or has my detox/liver function become less efficient? Personally I blame my body. Most will blame the coffee though.

"I already tried herbal antimicrobials, they didn't work" Firstly, these images below indicate the complexity of using herbal antimicrobials. Notice how for citrobacter berberine is ineffective but for candida it is effective? Also, oregano, which is one of the most COMMONLY USED herbs is ineffective for both? A lot of the time I see people using herb combinations that aren't effective and are probably doing very little except killing your good bacteria. Final note: I have had a few clients tell me recently they have used grape fruit seed extract as a more mild choice. IMO this is one of the most potent of all natural antimicrobials which is why they call it nature's antibiotic. I only try to use this for people who need very potent courses and I don't use it lightly.

70% of people with SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) have bacteria that predominately comes from the oral cavity (in conjunction with the other bacteria that make it up). This means that many people with SIBO not only have terrible oral health but also a poor middle man that should be preventing this - stomach acid.
