Unlike the standardized A1c test, these three above tests can have different ranges according to the blood test machine model and brand used (these are quite impressive too). So if in range, (looks...
On the two big blood panels tests: -are your total protein and Globulin protein normal? -White Blood Cell count normal? Those are related to CD57 levels (an average group measurement of Natural...
Hmmm. Does this guy have a website? "artists light pad" thing - I'll have to figure out what that is....
The mental anxiety from the vast array of puzzling symptoms these tick infections can create can drive you crazy when searching for answers. Symptoms can really vary a lot. But its good to chase odd...

I haven't yet, but now I have an easy link, thanks. The best compilation of old school piano/jazzy x-mas songs ever. Many people may not be aware of his name, but surly will know/remember his...
In my case and others with Hashimoto hypothyroid, it might make sense to try a little more Rx thyroid replacement during the winter season, then switch back in late spring. Per online, some Drs now...
That’s great girlie that’s kind of what we all wanna do. I have plenty of things to do. The problem is getting motivated to do it during this time of year. Once I start whatever the project is, I’m...
That’s right, now, I remember. that’s quite a remarkable and timely change!...
Maybe I will finally buy a full spectrum light this year! I really don’t have time to use it in the morning before work. If you use it at night next to you while watching TV , will cause insomnia,...
That’s great. Remind some of us how long or short your journey has been....
This will probably continue to be work in progress for me. I’m much better now that lyme is gone, but for those lymies out there still suffering motivation you probably find it more difficult in the...
And as far as a coping mechanism for living with what poor health does to us; do what you safely can to increase happiness. Thats different for many of us. Hobbies, goals, people...whatever. If one...
Nothing like a good vent once in a while. Many had their lives changed from tick infections and other illnesses (ones that are not curable). Thing is, there always people out there who have it worse...
I'm guessing chronic infection taking place depends more on an individual basis- different areas of their immune system. Many reasons. If someones immune system works correctly, chronic infection as...
Yes topically, it soaks in well and relief can be felt in 10 seconds depending how deep the injury is. I also edited / added the link to my original very lengthy post. Once your Solomon Seal plant...
EDIT: Solomans seal tincture can be taken orally OR topically when used for muscle/tendon/fascia tension or injury. I use it topically where needed. Relief is felt very quickly. And since I...
For your moral external ligament and tendon pain, try Solomon seal, tincture applied topically. It’s about $12-$20 per ounce dropper bottle retail price today but a little goes a long way. I have not...
It will take a while to get your thyroid straightened out, but you need to do that. And while you’re doing that your blood sugar is too high, it should not go above 140 after eating a meal. And...
As stated above, it all depends on what you consumed everything from liquids to foods to supplements and medicine. The more water you drink the more it will thin out what’s mentioned above in your...
If you have thyroid antibodies, which should’ve been tested at one time, then you have auto immune Hashimoto hypothyroid. The reason I mention that is because if you have auto immune conditions,...
Kind of an amazing reflection to earlier times. Remember back then they celebrated with a meal from the current years harvest. In order to feed yourself for the rest of the year (with non-animal...
Happy or belated “feasting” to all who follow! ———————— Thanksgiving in the US as a national holiday, has an interesting and somewhat complicated history. The early US Congress made the motion...
As far as injecting peptides, I'm guessing there are suggested injection points/areas? In the past, I had to do my own morning injections of a specific blood thinner daily for one week. It was in the...
"..........BPC-157 is also useful in repairing leaky gut syndrome and intestinal dysfunction......" hmmm, good to know. On my research list. Is there a well known Peptide "seller"? Any brands better...
It is a which was first, the "chicken or the egg" thing. I also have some immune and autoimmune "positive" (double copy) genes. Well, Ive tried many diets, and seem to have identified some foods and...

Girly- good to hear that. I also had mid-upper left back tension for years, which drove me nuts. It seems to have improved 80-90% this last year probably from NUCCA....
Garz - yep, I bookmarked that site that you and girly are mentioning. Once winter is here permanently, then I’ll have time to study this whole LDN thing. I’m always hustling this time of year during...
A site for the sole purpose of advertising? Well, there isn’t much advertising here either though. Certainly isn’t many posts here anymore. I have noticed when I can post in the last month I have to...

What a coincidence. I just posted on similar topics without even seeing your post here till now. How long have you been on LDN? As far as your thyroid guys have you tried 100% gluten-free.? I don’t...
After my LLMD, I have seen a variety of doctors that are similar to functional MDs. Some don’t even care for a “label”, some go buy different labels. Whatever the case, what they all had in common...
Garzie- I backed off a little bit on my low carb counting. Keto diet just eliminates so many varieties of foods. And my gut is also sensitive to fodmap’s, so I already have a limited choice anyway. I...
Well, Im still feeling improvments "gut-wise". Point im trying to make here, is not that probiotiocs will completely re-populate your gut with all the types you need...........Ive never assumed that....
As far as pure fiction, it did work in the past for a couple of years after I stopped taking probiotics. Maybe that just lost time for your body to naturally re-populate when the bad bacteria is...
This one has 12 types of lacto, bacteria, and six types of Bifidobacterium. Although that might seem like a Band-Aid, there’s really no other way for me to acquire this all this. There are many...
You might say I had a rapid cure ,….enough, which made me. functional. I like to use the term in remission versus cure. My LLMD used the shotgun technique. Throwing as many different types of...
In the meantime, learn myofascial, release, and trigger point release. There’s plenty of it on the Internet. If you’re lucky enough, you may find a physical therapist or chiropractor who knows this,...
I had carpal tunnel symptoms as well for years. But it technically was not the exact same carpal tunnel that carpal tunnel doctors see. So they couldn’t do anything for me. I went to a hand therapist...
