I've been busy. I finally got around to watching the Dr. Berg vid, which confirmed that my purchase years ago of an incandescent NIR bulb was prescient. I was hoping for a daily melatonin supplement microdosing schedule...something like 10mg 5x per day or. Do you have a protocol? And is your power back on yet?
We have to remember that even in winter there's about 42% of sunlight is in the infrared spectrum, and this is what helps us produce subcellular melatonin. Incredible. Why I always make sure to get at least a 40 min walk outside first thing, no matter how cold or crappy it's out.
Good to hear.. taking melatonin and NAC already but curious to try glutathione instead of NAC.. it's pricier too but after reading this I'll stick with melatonin 👌
On another note,, did u see this.. think I'll stick with pure stevia and not too much.. funny how everything lately leads to clots eh😏
Nrf2 promoters are the cheaper solution as they promote our production of glutathione and supplementing glycine may be helpful as glyphosate may reduce glycine availability in the diet.
Glycine would be trimethylglycine - betaine; or dimethylglycine (DMG) - initially was called B16 but was dropped as a "vitamin" since we can make it from choline or betaine (except for me and others with gene differences, may not make it easily). I take DMG as a supplement.
Thanks! Funny I had bought Glycine ( listed ingredients only says Glycine) powder from AOR few months back but never used.. says take 15-60g.. how much do you recommend and every day for life?
I take less than that. Sounds like a weightlifting product recommendation. High protein. 60 grams would be 2 ounces. One teaspoon is 5 grams of powder usually. I take a generous half spoon, tableware spoon, so it might be one teaspoon, 5 grams a day.
Yes, seemed much and with such a varied recommendation they listed , I hesitated .. AOR is reputable company and isn't for weightlifters but who knows;) thanks will try yr dosage.. seems safer and I trust yr expertise n wisdom, in all things!
Zero-calorie sweetener linked to heart attack, stroke, study finds | CNN
People with existing risk factors for heart disease, such as diabetes, were twice as likely to experience a heart attack or stroke if they had the highest levels of erythritol in their blood, according to the study, published Monday in the journal Nature Medicine.
Thanks! Great link.. we've used both together as sold for baking. it does have different taste, texture but better to ditch than risk possible clots, (FVL so will hold off till more research comes out)
Splenda seemed the answer over bad aspartame, then 🚩too
stevia seemed the answer but they stuck erythritol in many products labelled as stevia .. (the sugar alcohol, even if in body naturally n in some
foods, in excess is not good either)..
Maybe we need to go back to cane sugar and honey;)
Will buy pure stevia alone and will read ingredients as they stick it everywhere it seems..
Pure Maple syrup and raw honey are two things I am daily for my parents and sometimes for me. But sweet tooth and honey 🍯 😋. I use some coconut sugar too. Lower glycerin index and adds caramel flavor. I am not sure how healthy that is though. Acrylamide?.

Thanks, good to know.

I do use small amounts of Stevia but haven't ever tried erythritol.
