@remissionbiome low glutathione (common in chronic illness and in #MECFS) is like a systems-level break. a lot of interventions that might help, might not or might help less if glutathione is low. NAC slowly raises glutathione (as does sulforaphane). liposomal glutathione raises it fast.
A high proportion (but not all) of @remissionbiome events (short-term complete remissions of #MECFS or #LongCovid symptoms triggered by antibiotics) seem to be associated with:
Mouth ulcers or tooth abscesses!
What is unique about mouth infections? Is the oral microbiome a key?
"The results showed that the short-term group had less microbial diversity, while the long-term group established a stable, but individualized gut microbiome similar to healthy controls. 1/n
Dr. Oh and colleagues found lower levels of several butyrate-producing species, including F. prausnitzii, especially in the short-term participants. There was also a reduction in species associated with tryptophan metabolism in all ME/CFS participants compared to controls." 2/n
"Dr. Williams and his colleagues found that people with ME/CFS had abnormally low levels of several bacterial species compared to healthy controls, including Faecalibacterium prausnitzii (F. prausnitzii) and Eubacterium rectale. 2/n
These health-promoting bacteria produce a short chain fatty acid called butyrate, a bacterial metabolite, or by-product, that plays an important role in maintaining gut health. An acetate-producing bacterium was also reduced in samples obtained from people with ME/CFS. 3/n
in mice...but I like mice...and i like curcumin...and i like sleep...
There is also evidence for curcumin being protective and helping to ameliorate some of the damage done by sleep deprivation....even in neurodegenerative conditions. hindawi.com/journals/omcl/…
@remissionbiome 1. Jean-Marc Sabatier – Although EDS is a rare genetic pathology, with an overall incidence of around 1 in 5,000 people (highly variable incidence depending on the type of EDS), I have observed that a very high number of people suffering from the most severe forms of long Covid
@remissionbiome 2. (post-infection or post-vaccination sequelae) had EDS. As mentioned earlier, EDS is systemic and directly linked to abnormalities in the connective tissue of genetic origin (production of collagen). It seems to me quite possible that the deficiency in proteins of
Having trouble #meditating? The problem might be lurking in your medicine cabinet. #Benzodiazepines literally act like meditation-blockers. 1/17
We know that brain wave patterns change during meditation. The normal alert resting state of the brain dominated by alpha waves shifts to theta, delta, and gamma frequencies. States of flow in extreme athletes are likewise correlated with theta waves. 2/17
Psychedelics like psilocybin, LSD, ketamine, and DMT/Ayahuasca also change brain wave patterns. We can predict with good certainty that changing the state of consciousness involves changing brain wave frequencies. 3/17
