Hey there, glad you are a bit better again. Seems really wild how strong you react to interventions or at least how aware you are thereof.
I was in some really bad spots too, almost got killed from an experiment with 500mg Niacin a few years ago. I had the worst flu symptoms of my life and my ears got infected and swollen very badly.
Other than that, often I can't figure out why I'm bad at the moment, because I were taking too many different supplements at a time.
And sometimes or often? it is a detox dumping reaction of certain heavy metals right. So it should be not life threatening in most cases right.
From my understanding it would be best if one can balance out the dumping / detox / healing reactions, so that one isn't completely knocked out.
Re Epsom salt and sea salt baths - do you think it could lead to electrolyte imbalances, not enough potassium for instance? (I'm getting leg cramps afterwards sometimes too, although I'm usually adding Sodium Bicarbonate too)
Re Glutamate Toxicity:
Did you give L-Theanine a try?
Calm-Mag(Magnesiumacetyltaurinat) is amazing for Balancing Gaba/Glutamate in the brain too. 3 Capsules with enough L-Theanine and Glycine. Sleep like a baby. (if there is not something else off)
But if things are really bad, considering benzos can safe a live in these high excitotoxicity situations.
Methylene blue, has also profound neuroprotective effects - you mentioned anemia, do you have low hemoglobin anemia?
MB will help with too much nitric oxide too:
via chatGPT "Methylene blue (MB) protects against high nitric oxide (NO) levels by inhibiting nitric oxide synthase (NOS), reducing excessive NO production, and scavenging peroxynitrite (ONOO⁻) to prevent oxidative stress. It also blocks the NO-cGMP pathway, stabilizing blood pressure in conditions like septic shock, where excessive NO causes dangerous vasodilation. Additionally, MB supports mitochondrial function by bypassing NO-induced inhibition of cytochrome c oxidase, helping cells maintain ATP production. However, it should be used cautiously, as blocking NO excessively can impair circulation and cause unintended side effects."
Have you ever looked into Sulfur Toxicity? Chris Masterjohn wrote a lot about Sulfur lately.
(via ChatGPT "Methylene blue (MB) can displace hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) from hemoglobin, restoring oxygen transport and counteracting sulfhemoglobin formation. It also bypasses H₂S-induced mitochondrial inhibition by acting as an alternative electron carrier, allowing ATP production to continue despite Complex IV blockade. Additionally, MB reduces H₂S-driven vasodilation by inhibiting excessive NO signaling, helping to stabilize blood pressure in cases of H₂S toxicity."
Re "Chromium got me absorbing calcium which got me absorbing selenium which put pressure on chloride and and iodine potassium."
If chloride and potassium is needed, how about adding potassiumchloride to your regular salt intake?
How low was your Chromium?
