    Help please with Zinc

    I am wanting to do @gbolduev protocol with 30mg Zinc and 10 mg manganese for high copper. My husband is very anti this and says it will "kill you". He thinks the Zinc is too high and will deplete iron. Any help with this would be appreciated. I should add that I have low ferritin 30 but my...

    Fasting Log

    Not sure on what the protocol is here with fasting but wonder whether a epsom salts/ magneisum sulphate bath may be beneficial for the cramps and detoxing. Just probably need to watch sodium as magnesium is a sodium antagonist but it will help bring down cortisol and help with the cramps.

    Arrgh! Cortisol What am I doing wrong?

    Me too. I so regret listening to them 20 years ago. I tried to talk my mother out of having it done but she was too afraid of doing a liver flush because they were big and then called me to say that after having her gallbladder out she can no longer drink alcohol and nor could I after. My...

    Arrgh! Cortisol What am I doing wrong?

    @Canari thanks for your help yesterday. It was quite intense, once everything settled down I realised my carb protein ratio had been off in my first meal and then I got hypoglyceamia. I have switched to brown rice now. Taking dandelion coffee for liver and also cranberry tablets they have...

    Arrgh! Cortisol What am I doing wrong?

    The idea of emulsifying fats sounds good to me and may help me and slow cooking meat. Due to religious reasons I cannot eat meat with the blood still in it, in other words red. I wonder if I flick from slow 1 to slow 2 as I get mood swings and have this awful cortisol reaction to stress. I have...

But still...

    Chronic Low Iron in Women

    @gbolduev Thanks for clarifying, I knew vit C was important for copper but had forgotten all the cofactors. Will go with the lysine and Vit C as I have them available. My ferritin is 30 and I have female pattern hair loss.

    My Fasting Log.

    Yes, happy about the outcome. I wanted to do a longer fast but realise my body is not up to it. I am thinking of doing a regular 3 days per week fast. I read somewhere that shorter fasts are good for cleansing and long ones for healing so I guess I have some spring cleaning to do before taking...

    Chronic Low Iron in Women

    I agree that menstrual cycles aren't a good enough reason for low iron. I was on a site where this was gone into with lot's of studies. Copper dysregulation can cause low iron in women and also Chronic disease can cause it too. There is an anemia with chronic disease that sends iron into the...

    So Day 1 had 900mls of juice and the rest water had some dizziness after juice so took a little salt in water. My daughter said that a little walk is good in fasting to keep the lymph flowing so did a 5 min walk which was OK. The hills are steep where we live so was a little breathless getting...

    My Hair test results.

    @Canari Figured I have nothing to lose ( except some weight) and everything to gain. Wrote out some affirmations as to why this is good for me and I figure that the only way to learn to come off a fast is to come off a fast and try things until I find what works, thought wise and food wise.

    My Hair test results.

    @mattyb sorry forgot to mention I do have sleep apneoa and use CPAP. The longer fast was done about 5 years ago when my stresses were higher. The family stressors are not going to go away and are related to my childrens disabilities and another with mental health issues. Yes I have done some...

    My Hair test results.

    @Canari I pretty much eat mostly cooked veg as I don't digest raw very well at all so tend to juice instead. @mattyb yes have done 10 day juice fasts in the past and also a 30 day water fast I realise that ending it on fruit only made carb cravings come back with a vengence and I guess the...
