I think I understand something now.
My NADPH Oxidase (NOX) is upregulated. That's why:
When I take thiamine my sinusitis flares up (increases NADPH pentose pathway)
When I take sugar also (increase NADPH thru G6PD)
Also manganese (pentose pathway), but it also is used in SOD so I actually also need it (matches my experience).

This is also backed up by studies of my diseases (NOX upregulated, low Gluthatione, low NO).
That's also why I have problems with my venes (besides low copper).

So I think I have some virus like EBV which is why NOX is upregulated.
I can't increase NO (which would attack the virus) because I would have to increase NADPH and it seems to be a virus which upregulated NOX on purpose.
Maybe I could if I don't feed the whole axis but only at the end when NO is produced. Or something like Gerson therapy...?

This is also why I get sick after Liver Flush everytime:
First Malic Acid increases NADPH (that's why one takes it)
And the virus probably lives in the gallbladder also and then comes out.
This would be a perfect design: A virus which upregulates NOX thus NADPH is low and therefore no bile acids so it protects itself in the gallbladder (or liver) damn.

Helen wrote some things about herpes. Maybe I will try it, like orange juice + hydrogen peroxide to kill it.
Or high dose niacin flush...

If you have some time @Helen: What would be the best way to go for me?

 

[Helen]

yes, I wrote extensively about NADPH oxidase, you can search it.

Ideally I would use a NOX inhibitor, but I didn't find one which I can buy easily...
I will look thru your posts.
Thanks a lot!

I'm low in thiamine and can't increase it (as mentioned above - that's why I feel horrible from coffee - depletes b1 even more). Now my pyruvate can't be converted to acetyl-CoA for citric cycle (PDC - cofactor thiamine pyrophosphate) and I end up with a lot of pyruvate and lactic acid.
It seems to be a lot of lactic acid because it's clear that my body uses calcium to buffer it (I can feel the calcium clogging up my venes when I consume it). This seems to happen when there is no oxygen, then pyruvate ferments to lactic acid. It would make sense that oxidative stress (low glutathion) destroys my oxygen delivery, but blood test from years ago suggest otherwise (normal hemoglobin). Maybe it is just NOX which is upregulated big time and uses up all oxygen...?
Would make sense because that's what the virus actually wants. A lot of lactic acid so body has to use calcium to buffer it and calcium leaves the cell.
I also have athlete's foot so that's probably also from acidity.
That's why I'm a slow oxidizer with fairly low calcium - I lose it in urine...

That's why Helen spoke about Hot shots for EBV (calciumchlorid).
I bet big doses of baking soda would also work, but screwing with pH scares me...

I will try vitamin C in huge doses to kill it (because of the study which Helen posted which deals with a similar pattern: Making sense of early high-dose intravenous vitamin C in ischemia/reperfusion injury)

Hopefully this will work.

Have a nice day.

Unfortunately I can't do high dose ascorbic acid - it's too acidic. I'm already too low in calcium.
Niacin flush, although I absolutely don't enjoy it, it seems to do something:
First it effectively increase my oxidation (with some bad effects on my veines). This usually doesn't help me in terms of infection (eg thiamine or potassium intake).
So I don't think it is the calcium going in cell which helps me.
Can't pinpoint it, seems like skin burning effect, burns the virus with it!

BTW: I always had tonsile stones. Recently I had to remove them daily. Very small ones but nevertheless it shows how wracked my lymphatic system is...

 

[manu]

Did my fourth liver flush. Many but very little green stones came out.
I'm also using niacin flush therapy now to fight viral load.
I usually had to increase dose by 300-400mg to keep flush coming each time.
Just did a 1,5g dose.
Works very well for me so far.

Liver flushes make you look like 10 years younger. A lot of people tell me this.
I look like a kid now ))
But I think it won't cure any imbalance.

@Helen If I get horrible headache all day from breuss juice that means I'm chelating heavy metals right?
Would it makes sense for me to get on breuss + sodium alginate?

EDIT: Also when I tested alpha lipoic acid (which is also a chelator) I became immediately depressed.
My hair test shows mercury and aluminium, but since my glutathione is low it probably shows up far too low.
I will look into heavy metal chelation.

 

[manu]

So I'm now at 2gm and I won't go further than this. I write it here so I will remember.
Stomach cramping and itching is too strong.

I'm on the verge of catching a cold again - unbelievable!
Will continue with lots of vitamin C and niacin flush to keep it at bay.

Ultimately I will have to get out of this body chemistry to get rid of that infection.
Liver flushes won't do that, so I will try to do this with some kind of chelation protocol and hopefully body will find back to some better equilibrium...
But good bile flow will help me in getting chelated stuff out later at least.

 

[manu]

Struggling to keep virus at bay. Niacin is really the only tool I have. Besides high dose C. Ozone or H2O2 would probably help me but I'm still scared of trying it.
Some things have changed in my body recently.
Usually I could feel my calcium status by my teeth and my veins. For example when I took any acid (malic acid, ascorbic acid, ...) I could feel my teeth decalcifying.
When I took high amounts of calcium (lots of milk and cheese or plain calcium citrate) I could feel it in my veins.

Nothing of this happens anymore, apparently...
Maybe viral load is really going down and more calcium goes into the cell, better buffering, NOX goes down a little, more oxygen available less lactate, ...
I don't know but let's hope the best and this is the case.

My plan is to continue with this regime and then hop on electrolytes + Bs (with 1,5gm niacin) to restore NADPH Glutathione NO.
I would have used this as a cure in the first place, but I couldn't tolerate it because it increased NADPH too much and virus got crazy on it.
Still not sure if virus likes upregulated NOX (like mattyb said for EBV - so it thrives in oxidative stress environment) and increasing NADPH really helps him or the reaction is actually because he gets attacked through increased oxidative stress.
Either way NO will kill him so if I restore glutathione and NO then replication will be stopped.

I will probably try it soon for a bit when this outbreak is under control.

Wow, I'm on high dose niacin for about a week now and it's amazing what it does to my calcium metabolism.
Seems like it decreases lactate a lot!
My teeth feel rock-hard like they haven't felt for years.
When I eat something with high calcium like milk I feel it in my bones - almost like a pain in my bones and teeth get really hard.
Is it LDH which makes lactate to pyruvate now? I don't know...
If calcium kills virus this will kill it for certain.

I feel good overall so I will continue with it for a while.
Let's see...

 

[manu]

Finished my fifth liver flush.
Again a lot of very small stones came out. Maybe I'm close to being "clear".

I'm currently on a kind of electrolytes protocol but I think I will get back on ARL or TEI in the next months when I can afford to.
Have a nice day!

 

[manu]

Has anybody here finished liver flushes until nothing comes out anymore?
After my first flush I felt amazing and most of my health issues disappeared. But after that the second flush reversed basically all those benefits - I saw this pattern in a lot of reports from people.
Consecutive flushes steadily improved my energy levels and I'm glad I did it.
I wonder if I finally get back to this level after my liver is completely clear?
@Helen may I ask you? And have you done something during liver flushes to support the kidneys?

I have done several kidney cleanses and special fasts. And I peed sand, which hurt like hell. Also I used several products for kidney cleanse. as an example I used this one.

https://www.pcfarm.ro/produs/2248/Cystone---Himalaya. It dilutes everything to sand, and you start pissing sand like crazy.

As far as flushes, sometimes you feel worse after the flush, since your ducts are blocked. you need to keep flushing until there are no more stones.

I also noticed that when I started to flush first time was amazing, and then on some flushes I would totally get yellow, meaning that bile ducts would be blocked by moving stones,

that is why it is important not to stop , or not even start since you can make yourself worse if you stop.

Thanks a lot for taking the time Helen, you are incredible!
Flushes definitely put pressure on the kidneys - they have to do the cleanup I guess.
I will try the andreas moritz tea and maybe the product you've posted if I can get it here.
Thanks again for taking the time ))
Pissing sand )))

EDIT: I see you also experienced this. First flush is amazing and other ones can be really bad. That's why a lot of people quit. I will continue for sure!

Appears like they have changed the formula. On most other websites himalaya cystone has different ingredients. It has shilagit in it now. And some different herbs. I will try it nonetheless and report back.
Misread it, all good!

@Blugrass look at the posts before. Might be interesting for you!

That's what I'm going through right now, I've been peeing sand and little stones non stop for the last 6 months. I've tried a few herbs but never heard of the ones in the product you mentioned.

@Helen did the sand stop from taking this product?

Started my kidney tea cleanse today (andreas moritz recipe).
Will stick with it for 20 days (as suggested).
Nothing notable on first day.
Tea tastes okay.
I'm okay.
Bye

just FYI , if sand starts going and you can't take it. you can take a hot bath, or drink tons of broccolli water.

I remember when sand started to go , I was going nuts. since it was going thru the prostate and it was like an open nerve. broccoli water helped me a lot

You inspired me to drink my kidney cleanse tea today.
The only thing Is I'm a bit confused about the source of this sand that is coming out. Is it kidney junk or is it oxalate crystals being formed because these teas are high in oxalates.

Nevertheless, the kidney detox tea does give me relief in the kidney area for a couple of days. So I'm willing to keep trying.

Good luck man

 

[manu]

@Blugrass You are right. Andreas Moritz kidney tea also has herbs with high oxalate in it. During my research I stumbled upon this: Does Tea Cause or Treat Kidney Stones? [12 Tea Types Compared]
A list of teas to treat kidney stones with very low oxalates level. You might want to try Azul tea for example - looks fancy and I read some positive reports.
However I have no personal experience with it.

 

[manu]

So it's the fifth day of kidney cleanse.
Urine is a bit more foamy. Yesterday at night I had a little bit of pain in my kidney (I think).
My excessive sweating is maybe a little be better. So it does something to the electrolytes.
But what wonders me most is that I don't urinate more than usual.
I thought the herbs are mostly diuretics...
Whatever, hopefully it will give me some benefits at the end )
