@naslam1603 I’m speaking to him to see if he’ll speak in December or January. With the holidays, it’s hard to get a commitment from guests during these months.

Regarding the iron spray you shared, the forms of iron aren’t ideal.

Ferric ammonium citrate and ferric sodium EDTA have low to moderate bioavailability and prolonged use of EDTA’s…

@Annie the 3 lamps I’m looking into are:

• SPERTI Vitamin D Sunlamp: FDA-approved device focused solely on UVB light for vitamin D production. Users have reported significant increases in vitamin D levels after consistent use. A clinical study indicated an average increase of 47.5% in serum D3 levels with just five minutes of exposure every other…

Hi @Alyssa – if you have constipation, that is definitely a priority to be addressing first – even if you have to use rapid relief measures. The same factors that can lead to constipation (dysfunction in the main digestive players) can also set a person up for SIBO/IBS. So I’d actually encourage you to address constipation first, and then…

@naslam1603 I really like the Schuessler tissue salt # 3 called Ferrum Phosphoricum. It’s homeopathic and I’ve found it helps with iron absorption/storage (ferritin). I don’t think I’ve ever heard complaints of side effects since it’s homeopathic and can also be given to babies.

Also consider cooking your food in an iron skillet. You can find…

@Annie Absolutely, 100% yes!! If they’ve never had kefir before, start low and slow to give their microbiome a chance to adjust to the new beneficial strains being brought in.

Usually, it’s recommended to start with just 1 tsp and then double the dose every 2-3 days if a person remains symptom-free until reaching about 1/4 – 1/2 cup per day.…

Hi @Annie – I personally like the liquid vitamin D from Seeking Health, Thorne and Biotics Research. I also really like cod liver oil for children as a source of not only vitamin D but also vitamin A and omega-3 fats.

However, I always try to avoid supplements with children unless I know there’s a deficiency or specific circumstance that needs…

Hi @Annie – unfortunately, there’s no robust evidence directly linking the consumption of raw eggs to the development of neurological or schizophrenia-like disorders.

Regarding the shaking when he was poisoned from raw egg consumption, severe cases can sometimes cause systemic infections that can affect the nervous system, which can…

Hi @naslam1603 – a ferritin level of 555 is actually quite high and would make sense after an IV iron infusion. In men, a ferritin above 100 could also be due to an infectious dynamic (because the body sequesters iron to stop feeding infections) or due to a genetic condition called hemochromatosis which leads to iron overload. So while it may…

Well done @Bahareh – she’s lucky to be working with you!

Be cautious with the term “adrenal fatigue.” While it’s commonly used, it refers to a severe condition where the adrenal glands fail completely. In her case, the adrenals are functioning properly. What’s happening is HPA Axis dysfunction—her brain is intentionally adjusting cortisol…

Hi @LAK – with hypothyroid function, everything in the body slows down – including digestion and its digestive juices. So yes, it’s very possible to have suboptimal stomach acid as a result of subclinical low thyroid function. That’s why it’s important to address stress and thyroid nutrient deficiencies to help “fire up” metabolism again, as…
