From my understanding individuals with this diagnosis have an increase or built up of iron, is that correct? I have this as well and I was thinking of starting ashwagandha for my ADHD because my decreased memory is started to piss me off anyways after doing a bit more research, it said that people who have an increase in iron production should not take this. So I’m just trying to determine if in fact, individuals with this disorder have an increased in iron production?
I started taking 50,000iu of d along with k and magnesium four days before my glaucoma appointment and for the first time since I’ve been diagnosed two years ago my eye pressure is down. I’m hoping the high dose of D along with my eye drops help me keep my eyes healthy. There have been some studies of low vitamin d and glaucoma but of course my eye specialist didn’t know anything about it or the root cause of my condition. It’s only been a few days since I’ve started but I’m very hopeful. I also had developed a sever pain in my ankle and by the second day of high dosing I could put weight on my ankle. Ankle pain is a sign of low vitamin d.
My vitamin D level came out as 20 😮. Since that little nugget of news I’ve been taking 10,000IU daily. I was going to cut it back but reading more and hearing a few Dr.s give their info I’m going to keep going and probably increase some more. Cheerio people!
Thank you! I was diagnosed with Gilbert's syndrome last week at age 47. I have always had chronic fatigue and assumed it was because i suffer from anxiety and poor sleep. The GP just said, keep hydrated and not much else. This information was very helpful. I hope more research into Gilbert's Syndrome will help more people with this condition.
Very insightful interview. I’ve just started NAC again after a year because last time I built tolerance to it (was taking it everyday) and it literally fixed my life back then until it I built too much tolerance to it. I’m now trying it again and it’s literally changing the way I think. I used to think very negatively and obsessively and now after taking one dose of NAC I feel like I can actually be in the moment instead of stuck in my head. It’s honestly a miracle drug if it agrees with your body biology.
Imo, this guy seems to know just enough to hurt you. “2000iu’s vit d3 daily” = very low dose, take calcium supplements, not too sure about k2 yet, and magnesium importance is kinda “meh”. This is precisely why people need to learn to care for themselves.
This is interesting, I have Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder, Many people with this condition or a related condition, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, have an overactive sympathetic nervous system. We tend to have many of the problems mentioned in this podcasts, digestive symptoms, headaches, poor sleep quality etc. It is hardly surprising that our flight and fight system is switched on, and we are on high alert, as we are very physically unstable. I fall over very easily, and I am not physically strong. We suffer limb dislocations/subluxations frequently. We have problems with proprioception, and can be bad at sport. I felt very isolated as a child as there were many activities that I could not join in. Doctors are not very aware of this condition, and consequently, we are frequently misdiagnosed, or told we have Hypochondria. This explains why so many of us have seemingly unrelated symptoms. I was particularly interested to find out more about red glasses. Are there any specialists in the UK that run this program?
Wow. Incredible. Were can we find a dr specialist like YOU / a clinic who knows all this…. in ONE PLACE ??? Need for adult and for a tween. I’ve been to countless doctors and and so much suffering and loss for years. The stress is unbearable. Need somone to direct this completely, thoroughly.
Elsewhere, it has been recommended taking daily doses of vitamin D and not weekly and certainly not monthly doses. This is due to the fact while dihydroxyvitamin D that is measured in your blood has a half-life of 3 weeks, free vitamin D that is not attached to the dihydroxy molecule has a half life of only 1 day! And the free vitamin D goes directly to cells and is very important against infections. You lose much of the benefits of vitamin D when it is not taken every day.
Thank you 🙏🏽 we need more awareness.. we need to educate people around the syndrome and have some hope for a one street supplement for us. So much spendings into pills and loss of hope amongst us
Good information as a person who has been trying to figure out what is wrong with me for 17 years after a bad delivery septic. I have been told RA/ UC/ Hashimoto’s/ small fiber neuropathy/ Hidradenitis suppurativa and now looking like lupus but I have been begging my doctors to find out how to make my quality of life improve. I have had my symptoms way prior to the positive test which really sucks because your system is killing itself before you can even get a diagnosis let alone treatment

Hello, Which other form of glocose could i use to absorb the water during training? I live in Belgium and we don't have this maplesyrup over here, any ideas?
Miss you guys. Great discussion. Both looking good Love Lara Briden and have since discovered Dr Ray Peat and his love of progesterone and his thoughts on the dangers of oestrogen. Hope your both well
I know the basics of Chinese herbal medicines which I grew up using and I have an in-depth knowledge of Western herbal medicines. Both works far better than conventional medicines because, it is natural and conventional medicines are artificial and manmade poisons the human bodies. I swear combining both traditional Chinese and Western herbal medicines for even curing cancer. I know a very old Christian lady in her mid-90s, she has severe inflammation all over internally and externally. She swears taking conventional medicines because it is free of charge in the UK on the NHS and she is brain washed uneducated soul. She has taken conventional medicines only for many years and none of her inflammation has disappeared. But she is so stubborn she refuses to take any kind of herbal medicines so, many people behave like her and the NHS are making mega bucks out of her and millions of uneducated people. Herbal medicines is far more effective and I am a qualified experienced Master herbalist and holistic health coach. The public ought to be educated on all types of herbal medicines. The ancient civilisations swore by it. My fresh herbs collection and TCM herbs I grow and collect in my garden and kitchen. I use herbs daily for wellbeing and ill health prevention. TCM tends to prevents ill health whilst Western herbal medicines cures sickness in people. Combining both methods will keep sickness away.
Biotech makes D3Plus which includes all the co-factors. I applaud folks investing in their health, but some of these alleged doses are very high. The only thing that counts is the serum level. Cheers.
Whilst 2-10,000 may be enough for the majority of people to hit 50ng/mL, there are outliers due to individual’s health issues where much higher doses are needed, so it doesn’t surprise me to see the occasional extremely high values in the comments section . However, I absolutely agree, no individual knows how well they absorb D, so testing is imperative to find blood levels, both initially and at intermediate stages if supplementation is increased.
I have tears in my eyes as I feel I have finally found somewhere/one that understands what I don't understand. I thought that some of the things I live with are independent issues, and maybe they are, but I was diagnosed with Gilbert's 20 odd years ago and never really understood what it is and as we know Doctor's really are somewhat dismissive of it. As im going through a spell now, triggered by stress and worry, and had to tell my employer that I think its Gilbert's, I got the natural ???? Reaction. So for the first time, and i've no idea why I never thought of this before, I wondered if there is anything on RU-vid that would describe it. Then I came across your video and my goodness, it feels like a helping hand has just been reached out to me. Im going to look further into what you do and learn more. Thank you so much. Stewart
Same here, only I was very recently diagnosed in my 40's! My mind is blown because I've had every ailment she mentioned. This explains my life so much even down to the epigenitics of my alcoholic father. Mind blown!
Just bc you dont find it in tests, it does not mean tests are invalid. Science is about let the facts drive the study not come up with a concept and distort tests and facts to fit the concept.
250 nm/l = 100 ng the measure used more in the tests I see. Mine is 133ng and I took 50k iu a day to get there with NO PROBLEMS... all the hype about toxicity is ridiculous.. I also took Vit k and mag. I also take Ludol's 5% mg a day and together with the thyroid autoimmune attack being gone... my temperature went to 98.2 in the mornings and 98.6 -99 and has stayed there in the afternoons as it should. Now I don't have to take any thyroid meds after 30 years!
I gently tried to get a friend to try D3 in a higher dose for her polymyalgia but she prefers her steroids and her husband is a doctor so... he's sick too
To assist those MCAS sufferers in Australia find you or silimilar knowledgeable drs in Australia...it might be useful to put Australia in your channel title or the vid title. Soooo many ppl suffering in Australia who have commented on other channels done by Americans....that they (Australians) can't find knowledgeable drs to see. Same issue in my state in US...even though lots of info is available now...finding an mcas knowledgeable dr to see in your area (covered by health insurance) is the issue. Australians are having same issues but if they can find your channels...they can at least find you, contact you to see if within your network of knowledgeable practioners...perhaps they can be referred to someone in their Australian region. (Comments usually refer to wishing they lived in US...to find knowlegeable ppl...but that usually is not the case with MCAS. My primary care dr is a functional medicine dr...and as of late 2023, she still wasn't up to speed. Though she knew about scent hypersensitivity, etc...she knew about some supplements, etc...but nothing has helped except avoidance of all possible chemical scents...aka living like a hermit.) FB grps are helping with sharing info, etc...but many of them have not yet found knowledgeable drs. So I am just suggesting that you put Australia in parenthesis by the vid titles...so those in Australia can find you and those folks in your networks.
Maybe you guys don't have a clinic setting...but maybe you know knowledgeable drs in practice in Australia. That is the key for ppl...tapping into the knowledgeable drs that you as channel host might know.
