I am reading the whole HG7 thread
So this is how Jacob came up with it
"Here's the thing about egcg though. It's sort of a silent chelator...
You don't even realize it right away if you take it purely on its own.
And I used to take a ton of it, but then I started taking it with the vitamins and I realized what i had done...
I was chelating the iron, but leaving the copper untouched and it sort of just sat in the tissues until something aggravated it..
That's where vitamin C and Alphalipoic acid really did me in... all that egcg I took without everything else suddenly hit me... the copper overload was enormous.. I got huge kidney stones because the copper couldn't leave the kidneys and kept leaching calcium from my body.
And I suffered for years... trying to chelate copper some way some how with tons of zinc and then the bs and it was only mild relief.. and then I finally after years of taking mass quantities of b vitamins in hopes that it would bring the copper down, I tried molybdenum, and it sent me to the hospital again. It triggered a huge stone...10mm.
At this point it was 2021, I was in the hospital. Bleeding from my kidneys, gf just broke up with me, and fired from my job months later....And I had almost given up hope.
But I got high on a joint, hid the pain away for a second, and had a thought...
I've been trying to take all these supplements separately... and when I took the molybdenum, I felt great, at first, but then I took more, isolated, and that's when my kidneys said enough.
So what if... what if instead of taking all these isolated nutrients at different days, what if I took them all at the same time...
And boom... foe the first time in my whole life... I experienced real, pure happiness.
For a brief moment while all the supplements were in my stomache at once, I literally felt the pressure in my body finally release.
Positive hormones were surging in my blood, my once cold and clammy hands now warm, my eyes lightened up. And I looked in the mirror. I could see my skin healing in real time.
This was it. This is the holy grail. And since that day in 2021, I have been calibrating it every single day, until just recently a year ago I gave it to my bipolar sister... and she's been manic and depression free for nearly a year now.
Now I give this formula to you. Calibrate it. Make it yours. And fix your life."
"
Also, funny story, I got into nutrition in high school because I was losing my hair, and I read a lot about hormones and DHT and the aromatase enzyme which led me to zinc in the first place. And I've essentially been just theorizing, reading articles, journals, and connecting dots, for years and years. And trial and erroring different levels of zinc making myself throw up over and over and over again.
I've thrown up more in my life than anyone ever should in a hundred lifetimes.
I kept trying to figure out how to intake more zinc without feeling sick. Surely if my hormones were so badly balanced my zinc was low, but why wasn't zinc fixing the problem?
I mean it sort of helped at first, in fact when I first took just zinc I felt great for weeks. Then I shut down. Then I read zinc needed to be balanced with copper, then I felt great again, then shut down harder.
Then I took copper... and things spiraled after that. That was when I was early 20s.
And for my entire 20s I slowly came to the realization that I was actually copper and iron toxic... making my zinc not absorb.
That's when I learned about b6... and how it can pull copper out of the tissues... and then I learned about biotin... and then b5... all because taking certain things caused other symptoms to arise.
And I kept adding and changing the formula based on all the symptoms. Each vitamin uses another so fast and can cause deficiency symptoms so quick if this ratio is not adhered to. Especially biotin.
And over time I had most things down except the molybdenum. So I was making things worse before they got better by taking all these supplements that was getting rid of iron, and merely displacing copper. Without the molybdenum, the copper had seeped into my brain, and I was beginning to lose my sanity.
Then I got fired from my job.
So as a last resort, based on remembering some article I read long ago about molybdenum, I added it to the routine. And after a little calibration, I wept tears of joy.
The formula was complete."
