I had to go lookup -- Seneff and Samsel. But glad I did.

"Glyphosate’s Suppression of Cytochrome P450 Enzymes and Amino Acid Biosynthesis by the Gut Microbiome: Pathways to Modern Diseases."

They have multiple papers out on this subject, which include Vitamin D and other micronutrient deficiencies. Very thorough as always Jennifer.

Very welcome and thanks for noticing. I spend quite a bit of time trying to add links that support my statements and I got a bit lazy there with (Seneff and Samsel) but they do have a huge body of work.

JD - Echoing from a Phar - glad to hear you managed to avoid the noid and are getting off the Mucinex.

"Chronic congestion" examine snake gourd aka trichosanthes which belongs to the cucumber family (cucurbitaceae). Alpha-Trichosanthin (alpha-TCS) is a ribosome-inactivating protein (RIP) which acts as an expectorant. The herb has shown an ability to reduce chest congestion by breaking down phlegm and aiding in its removal from the lungs.

Snakegourd root, a main component of snakegourd fruit, moistens the lungs and intestine, eliminates sputum, treats stasis. has immunoregulatory function that helps resist hypoxia, activates immunocytes, and increases the ability to defend against infections.

Choose well from formulations which contain trichosanthes: https://www.meandqi.com/herb-database/snake-gourd

Thanks very much! And to you!

Learning curve. Day one no Mucinex is better on the leg swelling but I really do have chronic congestion issues. Work in progress.

Glad you were able to sort out the bowel imaging and avoid the knife!!

Always happy to see more iodine. I hope you can make it work. Since I have been giving the horse selenium and more vit e he is more energetic and excited about exercise! he already was getting ALCAR.

I hate SMART goals since they were made mandatory when I was a teacher. sounds good, but like New year's resolutions, for many they are an invitation to fail. I like engineering positive reinforcement into your life. Still trying to engineer getting to bed earlier. thanks for your reports and research.

Very welcome, and understandable regarding a mandated use of a planning method. That would be annoying.

Glad to hear you are having equine success too!
