Aha. Great. Thank you B. I’ll take a good read.

Hi B. <div>
</div><div>Thanks so much for your response and for breaking everything down – really fascinating stuff. </div><div>
</div><div>I checked out your podcast with Geoffrey and found it super interesting. It made me think about how some supplements I might be taking could not be effective because of an energy blockage in my body. That really explains why he asked me to pause certain supplements when I first met him. </div><div>
</div><div>I’m planning to visit him again soon, as I mentioned before. He talked about a free course during your chat with him – is that one in person? </div><div>
</div>

<div>B. </div>

I have been taking the following B1 supplements since October 2024: Mega Extensions Benfotiamine and Ecological Formulas Allithiamine.

<div>
</div><div>Regarding selenium, I have not been taking it.</div><div>
</div><div>Previously, I had no awareness of any heart-related symptoms, apart from occasional shortness of breath when feeling anxious or off-balance, which I assumed was due to a nutritional deficiency.</div><div>
</div><div>I believe COVID has played a significant role in my overall health issues when compared to before.</div><div>
</div><div>I also appreciate the potential link to mould exposure, though addressing it is challenging. With mum living in the house, and the home being adapted to her needs, she struggles to understand the impact of mold and is reluctant to leave, which complicates remediation efforts.</div>

Having said this, I’ve implemented Jill Crista’s course, “whilst living in mould.”

Hi B. <div>
</div>

No problem at all.

<div> I was wondering about the best way to replenish lost electrolytes. Do you think it would be okay to add some Himalayan pink salt to the water, or should I go for actual electrolyte sachets instead? </div><div>
</div><div>If adding salt is a good option, how about just a pinch in around 250ml? Let me know what you think!</div>

Hi B.

I will need to revisit this.

I was WONDERING why there isn’t a lamb or beef kidney DAO supplement and why only porcine DAO

Hi B.

Finding a DAO which isn’t pork derived is difficult. I tried NATURESDAO from Spain, I believe. It made no difference.

I take quercetin, taking vitamin C ( will switch to buffered version) and drink nettle tea.

Thank you for the article. Will read it.

Thank you B.

Good morning, Daniel,

Is this the product?

I was wondering if you could help me find a similar probiotic from the Amrita Nutrition or The Natural Dispensary website as I tend to purchase my supplements from them.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

Hi Daniel,

Sorry for the very late response.

Your last reply does make a lot of sense. Movement, whether through stretching or strengthening, definitely helps. To be honest, I really struggle. The only reason weights even came into the picture is because of the physio training I’m receiving.

Earlier this year, a cardiologist recommended that I see a physiotherapist to help recondition my body. Also, my blood pressure is elevate slhghtly (134 systolic) following 24 hour monitoring. From head to toe, I’ve been extremely weak. Every time I go to physiotherapy, I feel like I have a bundle of energy, but as soon as I get home, that energy just plummets. It’s as if having someone to be accountable to, or just knowing I’ll be seeing someone, gives me this temporary boost when I’m at the hospital. But the moment I return to the same environment at home, it’s like everything crashes, no energy, no motivation.

Yes, I shouldn’t be “killing” the microbes, but rather rebalancing my gut. I really want to do that through food, but eating is painful. Even blended food can be difficult. And with all the dietary restrictions I’m following, low histamine, low FODMAP, low acid, low mould, it feels like there’s nothing left to eat.

I definitely need more movement than I’m currently getting. Last week at the hospital, I used the steps and the wobbler cushion, that was nice, I actually enjoyed it. I also did an exercise (I think it’s called Farmer’s Walk?) where you carry weights in both hands and walk the length of the room. That felt good.

It’s just the abdominal pain and weak quads that keep getting in the way. The quad weakness is is due to misaligned knees, which complicates things.

You’re also right about the parasite, it’s likely linked to intestinal permeability, and that just seems to keep getting worse.

Are you familiar with the HTMA test? I recently had it done and it came back with a lot of abnormalities, one of which was high levels of lithium. Do you know if any supplements can cause elevated lithium levels in the body?

Thanks Daniel. I’ll go with old school set as I think the expensive set maybe too fiddly.

Hi Daniel,

Would you mind taking a look at my response when you get a chance? Thank you.

Hi Daniel,

It’s really good to hear from you, it has been a while. I just wanted to say that clearing (or significantly reducing) H. pylori definitely feels like a win for me.

As for how I managed to get rid of it, I honestly can’t say for sure. But I’ve stayed consistent with mastic gum, and I’ve also been supporting my gut with a combination of B vitamins, digestive enzymes, L-glutamine, zinc L-carnosine, marshmallow root, slippery elm powders and DGL. That’s pretty much been my ongoing protocol.

After my original post, I realizsed I forgot to mention that I’ve also been taking chicken feet. I’ve been adding them to chicken drumstick when making the stock to get extra collagen for repairing the gut lining. It’s been a regular part of my cooking now.

One thing I’m unsure about though, could parasites have come from the chicken feet? I’ve been really careful otherwise: I don’t eat out, haven’t been in contact with anyone ill, or travelled since 2017 and I always drink filtered water So it’s a bit of a mystery how I might’ve picked anything up.

Regarding the microbial imbalances, I’m now trying to figure out how to address Streptococcus and other dysbiosis. Any suggestions. I’m already doing vagal toning, diaphragmatic breathing, somatic work, and using the Pulsetto VNS device twice a day, which seems to help with overall regulation.

Separately, I’ve been thinking of investing in weights, especially since I have some knee misalignment issues. At the moment I’m just using green and yellow resistance bands, but I’ll send you a follow-up message with more details to get your thoughts on that.

Oh, and about Akkermansia, I’ve been taking a supplement called invivo health Mucin+ for about a month prior to testing, but I haven’t noticed any changes so far. You also mentioned Facealibacterium alongside Akkermansia in your post, I’d really appreciate your thoughts on how I might support both.

My symptoms remain the same: bloating, distension, pain, heartburn, acid reflux, fatigue, weakness, irritability, anxiety, mood swings, depression. Gastroparesis is the underlying cause. Unfortunately, I can’t tolerate Betaine HCl.

I take these supplements :

L-glutamine, zinc, L-carnosine, digestive enzymes, slippery elm, marshmallow root, DGL, B vitamins (including B12 injections due to pernicious anemia), balanced omega 3 and 6 oil, phosphatidylcholine, vitamins A, D, K2 and quercetin.

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts when you get a moment.

Take care,

Naveed

Thanks B.

I haven’t been affected in terms of the two points. At the same time, the claim process is quite involved.

Hi. B,

This is brilliant. Thank you. You have answers for everything. 🙂

My cousin sister will most definitely relief with these remedies.
