Thanks Jen, bookmarked.

I'm still building a picture of the disorder, and it may have a spectrum of contributory factors including mitochondrial dysfunction, autoimmune antibodies and myelin sheath insufficiencies.

I fully agree that pigeonholing to a named condition may not be helpful?

Smoking saved my life🚫😆

I probably would have vaxxed my kids had I not had this wonderful, natural mental stimulant🤔!

A bit pointless vaxxing stools though, very difficult when they are floating around the pool, and will probably be a jailable offence if the WHO has any say in it- wasting food!💩🤮

Not following all of that, but, glad smoking helps you out. I liked the nicotine effect on concentration for my ADHD. But I was overusing the lozenges.

The good news from that lengthy post, for me, is that if I stop eating so many salicylates, my congestion should improve and I can keep smoking marijuana. Which I enjoy and need for a gene difference. I have been feeling better today with the Mucinex and no more of salicylate foods.

I mate a t-shirt in the early 90s that was a cigarette in a red circle that was titled START😆.

At $150 per 50 grams of tobacco here in Australia, it's an expensive medicine but I couldn't survive this shitshow without it!

I've stopped eating shit food too and am trying shrooms today. Haven't been smoking much.

Glad to read that you've found a mind altering natural substance too.! 🤞🐖🧹🦘🤬😚🦆😁😱

I was having trouble with Substack yesterday and just posted eventually. I meant to break that post into 3 parts, one just on the salicylate food sensitivity and lists, one on nasturtium, and leave the rest, link to the two other parts. But that didn't happen. My computer was freezing up. I think I will do the two solo parts though, and add them to my How To Section.

Maybe you had been the one to comment about it then. I didn't remember. Thanks. I feel better and learned a ton from the Mark London fact check/whatever that was.

I have been feeling better, fairly quickly too. I'm trying the ~ 2400 mg/day.

Are you salicylate sensitive too?
