     I’m sorry for all the confusion. The “42” is simply the file name to the audio file of the video recording. It’s the 42nd file in the Gut Health Masterclass course. If you watch the video, that’s the information you’ll find in that audio file. 

    If you’re clicking that file from your computer, a new page will open up and it should play automatically. If you’re clicking it from your phone, you’ll need to click the small arrow down for it to download to your phone, then you’ll need to click on your downloaded files to play it. 

    I was able to open the audio file on both devices, so if it’s still not working for you, please let me know how you’re trying to access the audio file (phone or pc) and which version you have so I can have tech support look into it for you. 

    Stay tuned for May’s insider email – I’ll be sharing more H Pylori protocols (with dosages and instructions) in the Protocol section.

    Very happy to hear this. Usually takes about a month for nettles & quercetin to have effect so spot on!

     for bacterial infections, I personally resort to silver hydrosol spray up the nostrils, together with high dose systemic immune support (vit D3, zinc, vit A). Depending on how bad/advanced the infection is however, antibiotics may be needed.  This needs to be discussed with her doctor. If she’s not tolerating the antibiotic or doesn’t want to take it, I’ve had success with 2 sprays per nostril of silver hydrosol (Argentyn23 or Sovereign Silver brand) taken up to 7 x per day for an active infection.

    it’s there between Gut Healing Therapies and Stomach Acid Support. It’s called “Herbal H Pylori Remedies”. Am I not understanding your question?

    thank you for sharing. Although I have not personally experienced a toxic relationship, I have witnessed many from close family and friends.

    I have seen family members being gaslit and isolated. Both are still in those toxic relationships “for the kids”. One knows they are living with a narcissist, the other knows but has yet to admit they are living with someone who is isolating them as a way of control – but we all see it.

    It’s hard seeing family members suffer because unless they come to you for help, it’s almost like you shouldn’t say anything and stay quiet.

    “troubleshooting gut health” is inside the Gut Health Masterclass course. It’s not in the Protocols section. But I will go ahead and create an H Pylori protocol as well in “Protocols” for May’s release if that helps.

     any additional resources mentioned in the videos will be below the video and/or to the right under “Files”. Dr. Devlin’s protocol is located there on the right side if you’re on your computer.

    If you’re accessing the content from your phone, the attached files will be located on the bottom of the screen. You’ll see a file folder with an arrow in the middle of it. If you click that, you’ll be able to see the protocol that’s attached.

    Her TSH is really suppressed (it’s her brain saying she’s taking too much T4 so it reduces TSH) because of an elevation in T4 from the medication. This may cause her body to increase Reverse T3 (the inactive form of T3) which will make her feel hypothyroid despite the medication but unfortunately this wasn’t measured. She should talk to her doctor about her medication dosage.

    Her triglycerides are elevated, and so is her triglyceride to HDL ratio. This could be due to the hypothyroidism she’s experiencing, but it can also be due to insulin resistance. Unfortunately, only Hba1c was measured. She should get a full blood sugar assessment done which includes fasting glucose, fasting insulin and HbA1C together in the same blood draw. How is her stress level? Would you say that’s a big part of her case? Adrenal dysfunction can also lead to elevated triglycerides.

    Higher triglycerides can also be due to liver congestion/fatty liver. Her liver enzyme markers all seem to be on the lower end of the reference range, which could be masked by a need for B vitamins, specifically B6. A clinically low Alk Phos could be due to a need for more zinc and also low B6 which are needed to make this enzyme. So again, they might look “fine” but perhaps they’re masked by an underlying vitamin or mineral deficiency.

    Has she had a liver/gallbladder scan to rule out pathology in these organs? Probably a good idea – again, just to rule things out.

    Her WBC (white blood count) is functionally low. This tells me something is taxing her immune system. Toxins like heavy metals, amalgam fillings, mold exposure, hidden infections in the mouth from root canals, dysbiosis in the gut, leaky gut/food sensitivities – these are just a few examples of what can tax the immune system. We need to help her dig!! With cancer, there’s usually a toxicity component. Removing the thyroid doesn’t remove the cause unfortunately.

    We also need nutrients to make white blood cells like vitamin D, zinc, copper, vitamin A, and B vitamins. Daniel wrote an excellent post on that here in the community.

    Keep in mind that copper and zinc compete and because of the pandemic, so many people have been supplementing with zinc exclusively creating a copper deficiency. This alone can lower WBC.

    And finally, her doctor prescribed Fybogel 3 x per day. Is this to address constipation? If so, think of that being the first priority to address!! Pooping is one of the main ways we remove toxic waste from the body. If that’s an issue, please watch the “common causes of constipation” video inside the Gut Health Masterclass, and then the video on rapid relief solutions for constipation. But working on the cause of constipation should be your and her #1 focus.

    – are you referring to the video on Herbal H Pylori Remedies inside the Gut Health Masterclass? If so, I was able to access it. Please try this link here.

    I understand the convenience of having the content here in the community as well, but with the growing number of content in our library, it will become very difficult to properly search for information. That’s why after we resolved the technical glitch, we decided to keep the forum a place for engagement and community support, and the content in the library dashboard.

    Hopefully next week we will be announcing a new exciting change to the layout of the content in your library dashboard. It will be much easier to navigate and find the many different resources. I hope you will love it!

    Hi  – sorry to hear about your mom. Can you please share the type of medication she’s on to control her blood pressure. And does she have kidney disease? Why was she advised not to have any salt.

    Unfortunately, contrary to popular belief, a lack of sodium can actually contribute to hypertension and worsen the problem.

    And I’m not sure if you’ve seen the protocol for blood pressure solutions, but this might help her in the meantime while working to address the root cause of her high BP.

    In terms of rapid relief for her cough, if the flaxseed remedy isn’t bringing her relief, NAC (N-acetyl cysteine) and glutathione have shown to help with lung health issues. 

    You mentioned she’s doing all the immune stuff – can you please specify what she’s currently taking/doing, and what is/isn’t working.

    Please do keep us posted.

     jumping into the thread here – generally it takes about 2 weeks for the supplements to arrive from the time they are ordered on Fullscript until they arrive Dubai.

    But yes, since you’re in the US, it’s much faster. Let us know if you need any guidance while you’re there. We have teamed up with Rupa Health and True Health Labs in the US to allow members to access functional tests.

     testing TSH, T3 and T4 only does not provide a complete picture, and yes, I would recommend finding another doctor. While the thyroid is responsible for producing the majority of T4, the conversion to T3 takes place predominantly elsewhere in the body like the liver, kidneys, intestines, and muscles. So in addition to a complete thyroid panel, they should investigate further to get to the root cause.

    In Dubai, I can recommend Dr. Heather Eade at Novomed (naturopath), Dr. Sean Penny at Bedaya Polyclinic (homeopath/functional medicine practitioner), and Dr. Erzbett Makk at Zia Medical Center (MD and functional medicine).

    I can also recommend Dr. Eric Balcavage in the US who was our guest expert and author of The Thyroid Debacle. He does virtual consultations and is a thyroid expert.
