Great information, thanks!

Very welcome!

I have been impressed with using castor oil on myself and my mom. It really seems effective when used sensibly.

My next health post was going to be on castor oil or Disease X, it'll have to be X now I've seen this or you'll think I'm copying! ... hadn't realised you'd done such an in depth iodine post either, so good to see people pushing back. Truly over the lies and death surrounding "healthcare".

The best thing about castor oil are the packs for getting a solid nights sleep: six or seven straight and uninterrupted hours of sleep using a hot water bottle with soaked cloths on my upper back for half an hour. Knocks the entire system out for a total reboot.

For some reason, forgotten the reference, it's important to take some oil internally, either swigging from a good quality evoo or a spoonful of coconut oil, it helps the castor works exceptionally well.

I got that tip from a doctor who studied it and wrote a book. Looked it up:

It sounds like you should do an article on castor oil - additive value to get more guidance. I am brand new to it.

I know from my igG4 work that the jabs can lead to double jeopardy...

Thanks. Hopefully I am not as spike effected as my triple jabbed parents were. I did have passive exposure illness but treated myself. Hopefully I am not still spike producing.

I think bad gums/teeth may be significant. I just read today that leg swelling can result from liver issues related to periodontal disease. I started a post on it.

I will add your Ig4 caution and links to this one. That section got tacked on in a final few minutes (or however long this morning) rather than being the main post.

Interconnectedness of everything. I guess if embedded infection is a source of lps it could lead to systemic effects, but I've never looked into this and look forward to your post.

JD - "now we have to rule out liver cancer that their imagination has created in my body."

What is their basis for a liver cancer diagnosis or such suspicion?

My mental health issues were significantly related to Retinoid Toxicity and histamine excess and I need high dose zinc and B6. Deficiency of either can add to schizophrenia like symptoms and excess or lack of vitamin A can too. I can't make either enzyme that breaks down histamine, or I make less of it. Gut dysbiosis also can add to histamine as some negative species make it.

I was looking at a few books on schizophrenia at a St. Vincent de Paul thrift store this morning and one was on Cognitive Therapy for Schizophrenia. Flipping through it made me just think - talk therapy to try to make irrational people see that they need to be more rational is a complete waste of time for the irrational person who really needs targeted nutrient detective work and support and/or may have a genetic issue with a brain copper transport protein, in which case they are kind of out of luck - but again, cognitive therapy is not going to make their brains more rational. Their brain's need copper transport protein -- NOT talk therapy.

My gene alleles I think leave me low in dopamine and then use of medical marijuana leads to excess at times. I am not sure that yohimbine is what I need as much as not forgetting to take my high dose B6 and zinc which seems to be a really big need for me that I have to be more consistent about.

I need to do some organizing work on my own health care routine which is complex. A neatly organized Table of what the client (me) should be doing each day could be handy.

I'm kinda new here but... have you been checked for toxoplasmosis? Or other parasites?

No, but I am not showing lab values suggesting infection. I take a lot of antimicrobials and just started artemisinin again. I have used that fairly regularly since CoV.

I was overdoing food and fats/sugar and added fish, a lot of it. Diet and other health factors may explain my risk for liver issues. It has been chronic build up for a while probably. Thanks though. I haven't had much testing of anything prior to a recent doctor visit. I had put it off while my dad was on Hospice, bedbound. He passed away in July after turbocancer led to surgery and partial paralysis. Darn bioweapons!

I did ask what in my labs suggested cancer and all I got in response was the elevated liver labs. I just started a post on dental health and liver cirrhosis. Gum disease and postponing dental care has been a problem for me.

Autoimmune wise, I have stopped eating fish again in case that was a big mistake. I have been feeling a bit better with some other changes too and hope my labs start dropping. I had more drawn today and see the doctor tomorrow where I will let him know more of my medical history. I had only seen him once. Screening out things is standard, but I did have an autoimmune indicator so this seems a bit melodramatic to me.

*I still need to look at the links you shared.

I'm curious if thermography could be helpful in a case like yours to see if there are signs of cancer without going through all that invasive testing.
