Supplements For Resolving Neuro-inflammation 

1. Taurine 2. NAC (N-acetyl cysteine) 3. L-Theanine 4. GABA (Gama-aminobutyric acid 5. Glycine Other therapeutic Nutrients: Omega-3; Phosphatidylcholine; Thiamine tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide; Magnesium.

My husband is a clinical pharmacist and when I asked him, he said most of these are readily available and recommended to patients all the time in his clinic. “It’s not even fringe science” is what he said. I have these problems (from a related health condition)and I take a few of them already in addition to lifestyle and diet mods, but I have been under a ton of stress and I’m feeling worse. Thanks for creating this video so regular people without medical degrees can do their own research along with medical professionals.

Elliot with all our knowledge expand your brand to help those in desperate need of help and make it as affordable as possible while still making profit, it would make you a hero. I hate big pharma.

Wow! Your content on thiamine has blown my mind. This may be the one vitamin that has been causing all my problems for many years. Being deficient in. Sleep apnea, high fasting glucose 110-124, high fasting insulin of 9.1 mIU even though i exercise regular, eat well and still have symptoms. One thing I will say is that you are a very good presenter of material. It's unbelievable. Dam glad there are people like sharing you knowledge. Being deficient in this vitamin might be the reason why I never loose any fat no matter how hard I exercise or diet. Thiamin

8 yrs of chronic fatigue syndrome and you're pretty much the only one who has helped me improve (even if I still have a ways to go). Excited to try Taurine soon.

Finding this video was a home run for me. I have what I refer to as "brain burn," as well as multiple chemical sensitivities, fibromyalgia, CFS, neuropathy, leaky gut, cognitive problems, and everything else mentioned in this video. I'm like George Castanza. I have it all !!! And because of all this, I'm also broke and isolated, so I can't afford to try all these supplements. Such is life. At least I finally know what's wrong with me, after 44 years. I overdosed on Freon 12 and Spectracide in quick succession. Probably the worst possible combination of toxins to get MCS and all that goes with it.

I’m glad to hear you talk about methylene blue. I have taken it and had good improvements in my energy levels. But I didn’t see the improvements that were touted. BUT that was before I found you and learned about megadosing Thiamine. Thiamine has significantly improved my joint inflammation and pain and many of my chronic gut issues. Now I’m going to start up on methylene blue again and see if I have better energy results this time. I also want to mention that I think the Thiamine supplementation has reduced my appetite too. I do not have the significant sugar cravings that I used to have. The kind that make you go insane if you don’t get some chocolate or a candy. Those are gone. Now I can eat a piece of chocolate, and my brain says “ok, thanks. That’s enough.” Never had that happen before.

Thank you, Elliot - for sharing your wealth of knowledge and really assisting our healing journey! You are truly a blessing! 💖🙏🏼

Yes, Cats Claw, and I make use of Goldenseal quite often in my home. I’ve done the Buhner protocol, myself.

We need more people like this so we can understand our health conditions. Doctors just push pharmaceuticals. It's about $.

L-theanine has worked as a painkiller after being hit in the head for me. Standard painkillers did not do anything at that moment.

Thanks SO much Elliot! Keep sharing your knowledge. I am glad to know that I am on the right track, I have been taking most of those supplements, but still it is a lot of work to repair all the damage and have quality of life.

Hi Elliott, I watched both your videos on Neuro inflammation. Both were great! Thank you for your thoroughness and continuing to share your knowledge, with practical steps and supplements a person can use, To help heal. 🙏✌️

I use a few of these for other dietary rasons and they have helped my nerve issues. Mag- glycinate, threonate, and citrate Glycine Berberine NAC Omega-3 With a low carb diet and eliminating processed foods.

Your work is not going unnoticed 😶‍🌫️

This video is wonderful! Knows so much more than almost all of the doctors I’ve seen. Every thing he mentions regarding cautions explains why L Theanime and L Glutamine made me worse. Stimulated my nervous system.

N Acetyl Cysteine is NOT metabolized optimally for those with CBS mutations and spectrum of methylation impairments. GABA will also not have therapeutic effect if you are depleted in magnesium , B vitamins and other Aminos like Taurine. For me personally All supplements that effectively detoxed and cleansed my congested LIVER of toxins worked extremely well to significantly reduce brain inflammation as follows. 1. Full spectrum of B vitamins especially B1, B3, B5, B6, B9 and B12 All in active coenzyme forms 2. Methyl complex with Betaine & Folate 3. High potency Taurine 4. High potency Choline 5. High potency Inositol 6. Low potency R-ALA with d-biotin 7. High potency ALCAR 8. High potency MSM with molybdenum 9. Magnesium 10. Adaptogenic mushrooms esp Cordyceps, Reshi, Chaga & Lions mane. 11. Calcium d glucarate 12. L-Ornithine 13. Free form Amino complex - 22 Aminos 14. Chromium complex Benfotiamine in isolation was also a disaster. For me No B vitamin works well in isolation and I find the therapeutic effect when All B vitamins are taken in a single combined. Phosphstidylcholine was a disaster! What worked very well for me was High potency Choline Bitartrate for 1 cap having atleast 260mg of Elemental Choline or Cito choline. Non adaptogenic mushrooms like Turkey Tail also did not work for me and Infact aggravated autoimmunity, while adaptogenic mushrooms like Cordyceps and Reshi worked like a charm.

I'd love to hear you talk about alternatives to antidepressants and anxiety medication

Your knowledge could create a ultimate anti inflammatory for brain injury

i also find that phosphatidylserine is very helpful thanks for your work !

Amazingly health and life giving cutting edge medically adept information.... outstanding! !

Thank you, very informative. I was interested in the therapy of agents to try and settle a problem with Psudotumor Cerebri, or lessen the damage done by the pressure in the head. Thanks again.

You have forgotten magnesium + B6, which is needed to convert the glutamate into GABA. Feel like this is important.

Great video. I would go v.high dosage with omega 3. Typical usage is below therapeutic dosage. I use 4-6 capsules of Mayfair brand. Quality must be pharamacutical grade, not oxidised.

Great information, Elliott, thanks very much. If you have a minute, can you provide a brief answer as to whether you think something like taurine, glycine, or phosphatidylcholine would benefit someone on a diet consisting of a lot of meat and eggs (more towards carnivore) or would it not have a significant effect or any whatsoever due to these individuals stores of those nutrients being replete?

I’ve had a negative reaction to both Glycine and l-theanine. TtTFD is very strong for me at very low dosage. I feel super excited, but not in a good way. Restless. However, with nutritional yeast-y brain is happy

Awesome video thank you so much very well put together I love how you added the dosing at the end!

Love that you mentioned MB. 😃

Thank you, and I appreciate how you broke down the anti-neuroinflammatories recommended. I wonder if there's one supplement that would include a few of these.

For safety's sake look into the role of GABA inducing Growth Hormone to see if it should be restricted in those who have cancer.

Thank you so much for this, Elliott. I'm taking 600mg of ttfd like you suggested. Only when I got to that dose did my energy come back.

L-Theanine in 200 mg dose sometimes helps me fall asleep but 400 mg will cause me to have crazy dreams!

My list is: -Mg -MSM -Omega 3 -Zinc -Selenium -Lithium -Tryptophan -Taurine MSM is a game changer when it comes to moving out the toxins. I used to have theanine. Never tried glycine, but I have TMG. Lemon balm work pretty wel to calm downl, and chamomile also in bigger amounts.

Wow! Thank you so much. This is the best video detailing the causes and the solution to them along with your previous video. Can’t thank you enough. God bless you so much.

Excellent presentation as always !! So so informative, THANK YOU !!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

You’re a life saver.

It's wonderful that you are back. Amazing research as always.

cats claw is one of the only NMDA receptor plants i know. I wonder if that is why it helps with neuroinflammation. Cistanche is a really cool plant for neurogenises

The information format gathered here is ideal to connect to food sources to create meals for specific diagnosis. There are growing numbers of health restaurants where all the individual ingredients can be chosen which allows an online ongoing nutritional clinical study.

I am very thankful that I found your channel.

Ideas for future videos: Thiamine therapy and hypothyroidism Stress/cortisol and weight gain

Thank you so much for sharing, your knowledge is amazing. So grateful to you for all you do

There are quite a few papers discussing Palmitoylethanolamide and neuro inflammation on the NIH.

Thanks for very useful nutritional information ! I heard that Neuro inflammation is the cause of depression because all neurotransmitters get out of balance starting with Serotonin ? This information is essential for nutritional support of antidepressant therapy using SSRI's & SSNRI's or other antidepressants.

I'd love to see a video on ways people can find the root causes, a list of each along with potential trusted diagnostic tests. A guide, in a sense, one could take to their naturopath or practitioner that would allow them to help chase down the root cause for all of this. Do you believe that chronically active EBV might be a root cause?

I've had a complete neurotransmitter panel done in 2021 and getting ready to do it again this weekend. Totally screwed up results before and L.E. tells you to just show it to your doctor and get their advice-well they have no clue-your presentation here was the most valuable thing that I have listened to all year (along with your oxalate info which has been my primary diet for decades!) Have been taking many of what you posted, and just intuitively added turkey tail but did not know it crossed blood brain barrier (have neuroborreliosis), and will see where brain is when I get the results of this next neurotransmitter test. Do you do private consultations?

I have vestibular neuritis and I’m definitely going to try all of the above with the exceptions of the ones with “caution”. If I can affect a change without them-if not I’ll try the BLLUE maybe I can’t thank you enough. 👍

Great video. What is your opinion about DMSO as an anti inflammatory for the brain when IV infused?

I appreciate the research info provided, I am sure these are helpful as well. However, it would be a good idea to mention your educational qualifications on home page or in video

Thank you very much.

Excellent info Elliot thank you

This is incredible!!!!😃✨👏💚

How do you know if you have excess glutamate (excitotoxicity)? Or hypoxia of the brain? Is there testing for this or just a review of symptoms?

A great video! When you say be cautious about taking L-Theanine and Glycine, does that mean we should avoid them in the wake of up detoxification or something, please?

Thanks so much for this very helpful info, it's very appreciated.

Amazing video as always!

So much value here. Thank you 🙏

Amazing presentation! Much appreciated!👍👍👍

An amazing story of courage and growth. What a gift to encounter this soul even if from a distance. Great channel!

🙏🙏Thanks dr Elliot. For very informative video 👌

I'm curious if this would be helpful for those of us who are Tapering off of a benzodiazepine. Certainly reducing glutermate would be a big plus. Any suggestions?

Perfect timing also one of the worst side effects of covid is brain inflammation and hypoxia. Trying to get your brain back after this virus is a daunting task

Great info, thanks so much.

Great information, thank you!

Thank you , wished I had this years ago .

Thank you for being so smart

Since I've begun listening to you guys trying to fix my vax injury nightmare, I'm taking about 25 supplement pills a day plus special foods. At one point, I wonder if it just runs my kidneys to the ground instead of helping. My CKs are elevated, which means tissue dammage and a chain reaction leads to gastroparesis, thus nutrient deficiencies and all of the symptoms associated with it. I'm living hell. I was young and healthy, athletic, ate very well and now I can't even work and going thru a day takes me everything I have.

Hi Elliot. Do you have any info on a possible link between neuro inflammation and epilepsy? Some of these supplements you have mentioned here are great for epilepsy.

I find L-Theanine makes me sleep really well but also makes me feel physically weak for about 24 hours. I struggle to get through my cardio the day after I have it.

If I supplement glycine, it has horrible effects on my brain. I don’t know if it’s because I eat a meat and leaves kinda diet or if it’s from it being a synthetic form. I have been dealing with some extreme neuro inflammation, I’ve been keeping it a bay with thiamine, 300mg of hci twice a day, I worked my way up to that from 25mg once a day. If I run out, it takes about 4-7 days for the headaches, depression and nightmares to come back. There are a lot more symptoms that are far worse than that so I don’t want to go through that ever again. I take a host of other supplements but the thiamine has been the game changer. I’m curious about taurine and possibly creatine as well as potassium.

wow thank you this is so helpful with long covid

Where would you start? Thiamine and magnesium I guess. Is it best to pick three or four and stick with them or is it important to try everything? I wish you well, everyone.

Does gut inflammation or leaky gut cause a stroke? Trying to figure out if this is what caused my stroke. My gut inflammation raises my blood pressure sky high where no medications completely lowers it to normal.

gaba is hardly bioavailable and cannot cross the BBB unless it is leaky, I tried as good as everything... gaba at 3 grams gave me a super weird cannot breathe effect

Elliot - if methylene blue is able to facilitate aerobic energy in cells wouldn’t that mean it could potentially be useful in cancer treatment? As cancer cells have undergone mutation to anaerobic processes in the absence of oxygen?

Awesome video

But what about the restoration of the gut?

I've been increasing my L thalanine intake and feeling better from long covid induced Parkinson's

Quite a few of these recommendations block nmda receptors. Wouldn’t too much of this action be a concern as isn’t it needed for memory function? Reduced nmda receptor function is implicated with Alzheimers. I’d be interested to know people’s thoughts on this.

can you make a video about recovery from ssris?

Excellent!

Very informative..Thankyou..

Sulbuthiamin is the best for crossing the BBB

Great homework

Do you have a protocol for healing post stroke? Not sure if my leaky gut and Oxalate issue caused my stroke.

I tried to screen shot the recommended dosages. It didn't work so good. Checked description for a link. Checked your website with out luck. It would be nice in you added a link to the description. I realize everything RU-vid should be taken as a suggestion not medical advice as any reasonable person would.

*NEW SUB* *Question* I was diagnosed with CIRS from high levels of mold biotoxins. My neurological issues are declining. Would this protocol help me stabilize while looking for healthy place to live ? Every Dr I saw said I must get out of the mold before I can start any protocol. I’m grateful for all that you share here.

Thank you!

GABA can have very BAD effect on some including myself, down to 100mg I get like Niacin flush & almost can't breathe, the WORSE supplement I tried. 50 mg to start i can tolerate, but I classify GABA AS a sh**t supplement. Thanks for very useful nutritional information ! I heard that Neuro inflammation is the cause of depression because all neurotransmitters get out of balance starting with Serotonin ? This information is essential for nutritional support of antidepressant therapy using SSRI's & SSNRI's or other antidepressants.

Ty so much. I have MS what would you suggest for that?

The one thing that will take away my suicide headaches. Cluster type. They're bad. Had them all my life but have increased in a big way since covid. Every single doctor and nurse I've been to has no care at all about helping me. They are so worried about their job and they are severely overwhelmed by volume. They have checklists the insurance companies use as employment contracts . So I read books/articles/research. I stumbled on a workout supplement that gets rid of my headaches before they get next level. I thought the operative ingredient that helped was the caffeine it contained...but different types and sources of caffeine only slightly help. Then I saw the part on this video about theanine. THEANINE! I think this does take the brain inflammation down thereby easing up on that Trigeminal nerve. The product I found is Alani pre workout powder -cosmic stardust. Ease into it if ur sensitive to caffeine. Im a fast metabolizer so it doesn't bother me. I hope this helps someone.

What do you think about nitric oxide supplements? Is nitric oxide good or bad for our brain?

Great video.

Does melatonin help brain function,or does it has a antioxidant effect on brain?

Does methylene blue goes against supplementing nitric oxide?

I suffer from lexapro 5mg generic one, amd trigger pangasritis gasritis...my Psychiatrist didint hell me to taper off. Is being 2 year now...can doc tell how to ssri withdrawal like lexapro one for ease the withdrawal symptom and discontinue symptom? Like relapse something.....dont want be a whitemouse anymore. I hope doc can help.

@Elliot Can you take all of the supplements at one time or you need to taken several and if do which ones? Thanks for replying 😊

Always felt like taurine gives me strong detox, even at only 1000 mg a day.

ttfd vs benfotiamine? Could you shine some light on this? Does benfotiamine cross the brain barrier as well?

I'm confused: Isn't NO2 supposed to be beneficial?
