Current Protocol

Adrenals:
  • Adrenal Glandular - 100mg breakfast and lunch
  • Licorice Root - a few drops with lunch (helps extend life of cortisol)
  • Cordycepts - one tablet with breakfast
  • DHEA sublingual - up to 4 drops with meals (haven't added this yet)
  •  Pregnenolone sublingual - up to 4 drops with meals (haven't added this yet)
Thyroid
  • Zinc - breakfast and dinner
  • Wobenzyme-N - 5-10 caps, 3 times a day on an empty stomach.  WOW!  Just looked through my notes and found that.  Wonder if she meant 5-10 separated into 3 doses or up to 30 a day!  That's a ton of pills!
SIBO/Gut Support
  • Digestive enzymes with meals
  • Lion's Mane at bedtime*
  • Acetyl L-Carnitine at bedtime*
  • L-Glutamine between meals and at bedtime
  • Zinc L-Carnosine between meals and at bedtime
  • Iberogast before meals
  • Megaspore - 2 caps with lunch
  • Orthobiotic/PrescriptAssist/Primal Defense (rotating) - between meals
H. Pylori
  • Mastic Gum - 2 caps with meals
  • NAC - 1 cap with meals
  • Biocidin - before meals (both kills and provides biofilm disruption, contemplating switching to Interfase Plus and Allimax)
*Lion's mane and Acetyl L-Carnitine are thought to help with nerve regeneration in the small intestine.  Even though I've had lifelong motility issues I don't recall having the bloating or other issues until after the two food poisoning incidents 6 years ago.  I'm running off the assumption that they were the tipping point.  Although to be honest I don't remember a heck off a lot about my health from the first couple of years of my son's life.  My adrenals just tanked after my pregnancy and it's all a blur.

    1. I was but let it run out. I hate swallowing so many pills day in and day out. Wasn't sure it was doing anything so I let it go to see what would happen. Knew Dr. Pimental was looking into one of the cholesterol lowering drugs. Thanks for the link!

  2. Interesting study on new drug (lovastatin based) that blocks methane (Dr. Pimentel is the lead)
