How long have you been taking 5mg per day? Maybe you increased acetylcholine too much if you've been taking it for months and that's why you feel numb.

Phytic acid is pretty good actually. Binds iron in the gut and some in the blood. Also the body makes inositol from it which neutralizes copper toxic effects and makes bile more liquid. Even if it binds some zinc who cares. One 30mg tablet is gonna be enough to offset 2 weeks of high phytate diet.

I'd say clumping or disolving depends more on acid-base balance then biotin status itself. You're taking the pure powder and not the 1% biotin solution right? What's your zinc dosage on most days?

I think there are knowledge "gaps" in the protocol about other mineral deficiencies and how different genetics influence your needs to each of the supplements. Like for example difference in genetics that affect GABA and Acetylcholine determine how your body responds to Zinc/B6 and B5. For slow...

You ask why nobody is talking about blood donations then you proceed to answer you own question by saying they lead to copper dumps. Not only that but they put you in energy deficit and lowered aerobic capacity. And you can only do them once every 2-3 months if you are not morally held up by the...

You don't go anemic after blood loss because you're suddenly iron deficient. You get anemic because your bone marrow takes 8 weeks to replace the red blood cells. Also ferritin in blood does not correlate directly with iron load and it carries a very minor amount of iron. For example if you...

It was from the zinc because both those symptoms go away when I do the HG7 without zinc. Giving zinc solo just floods you with copper and iron in the bloodstream and they can't detox.

I think taking it together with vitamin C makes it the most absorbable. The B5 and B6 vitamins I feel like for me last a long time so I don't take them every day. I don't really understand by what mechanism biotin supports this protocol in a very high dose but I bought the powder and take...

After I chelated a lot of copper in the summer with histidine I got a lot of improvements but bile was still not fixed. Also I got restless legs and very sensitive teeth from too much zinc. I was thinking maybe I'm missing iron now because I removed a lot of copper. So I supplemented iron for...

Creatine 2 grams tops. Above that its useless since the body only synthesizes that much even in diseased state. With 2 grams you save yourself all the methyl groups needed to make it (which would be 2.5grams of betaine or 7 grams methylfolate recycled with NADPH) Above that you'll get dry mouth...

Histidine is really good for binding copper throughout the body and excreting through the skin but doesn't fix the liver bile excretion. When you drop a copper toxicity layer you eventually run into an iron toxicity problem. It's like an onion with alternating layers of iron/copper. You fix one...

10% meaning you tried 300mg EGCG? Thats way too low to have any kind of effect. I recommend starting it without any zinc at first and only taking it later on. You can try no molybdenum but eventually you'll get kidney pain without it.

@Yura Why are you not doing HG7? Remove copper, zinc goes in. Remove iron, manganese goes in. Digestion is zinc + manganese basically. Carbonic anhydrase + CO2 + NADPH = digestive juice

I think minerals and hormones you see on blood tests are not good info because they are all mostly subservient to the body maintining equilibrium. For hormones for example you have levels in blood but you also have proteins that bind them in blood so they dont go into cells. Those hormones that...

No. I never cared for testing blood. I think it's useless information for most cases.
