Supplements:
Japanese Knotweed 3 tabs tid
Coptis 2 caps tid
Artemisinin 1 cap tid
Berberine 1 cap bid
Raw garlic every other day (enteric coated 5 clove equivalent)
Green Food tablets bid
Saw Palmetto/Pygeum/Nettle bid
Andrographis bedtime
Alpha lipoic 12.5mg acid every 4 hoursMeds:
Doxycyline 100mg bid
DMSA 12.5mg every 4 hoursDiet: Clean. Dark chocolate or maple syrup are my daily splurge foods. Gluten free. Oatmeal daily. Love romaine with everything. Broccoli sprouts! Basically veggies all kinds, meats, and berry fruits (frozen). Prefer organic every opportunity. It's worth it for the extra flavor, nutrients, and freedom of chronic low grade pesticides, herbicide, hormones or antibiotics. I eat everything a non-gluten-free person would eat, it's just that it doesn't have gluten and it is organic.
And a handful of other supplements are waiting their turn, either due to purposeful rotation or methodical introduction.
Honestly from day to day I don't feel that much better....but...when I look back a couple years it is very obvious I've come a long way. And then I realize....the crushing dark depression isn't there most of the time, headaches are gone, night sweats mostly gone, walking a little faster, seem to have more endurance, anxiety completely gone, the morning waking anxiety completely gone, sleeping real good, more sociable, interested in hobbies again...basically overall globally better.
Lately I've had maybe one or two days a week that are actually pretty decent, or random times during a day that are decent. That is in stark contrast to the way it has always been for more than a decade and a half....dark, tomb, dreary, death, anhedonia. I got a ways to go for sure but wow I never had this kind of improvement on all the psych meds. For sure they didn't heal a thing and probably actually just allowed disease underneath to progress uninterrupted.
I like the chinese saying, "Dispel evil and support the righteous". Which is basically what my entire cocktail and diet is all about. Healing of untold numbers of symptoms, conditions, and diseases naturally follows.
I've read about many people describing the healing journey as being a roller coaster ride of improvements and relapses, with the good days eventually outnumbering the bad. I can vouch for that personally now. it is a rough ride at times, but with some pleasant vacations mixed in. Even things never got any better than now, gosh, it's a ton better than at any time of the last 20 years on so many different meds and combos. Amazing those powerful pharmaceuticals can be so impotent compared to more benign substances.
