My favourite supplement for immunity?
Serum-derived immunoglobulins
They are *literally* immune cells packaged into powder
IgG, IgA, IgM
In the gut they bind with bacterial toxins (e.g. LPS) to:
- Prevent leaky gut
- Lower inflammation
- Reduce IBS & IBD symptoms
Binding with such toxins prevents absorption and protects your gut
A complete list of toxins this unique substance binds with:

How does this work? My first ever academic paper just published - Where we attempt to explain how:
We present a novel theory that B1 deficiency can be localized to the gut, for various reasons, and this will not likely show up on any test results.
Can Thiamine deficiency be a hidden cause of chronic gut problems? Most doctors will laugh at the idea
I've known that it can for over 6 years, and thousands of followers have successfully used it to self treat their gut issues since then.
However, there wasn't ONE SINGLE single academic review on this topic. So we wrote one!
In this article we discuss the mechanistic evidence for why thiamine can be a stealth cause of common functional gut disorders
Why is the gut uniquely susceptible to a deficiency vs other tissues?
Why does practically no one in nutrition or medicine know about this?
Its a travesty that this simple yet HIGHLY effective therapy is not widely known.
But I hope to change that Based on the available evidence, we can say that in some cases, a thiamine deficiency triggers the same mechanisms known to drive IBS/SIBO, intestinal inflammation, intestinal permeability, GERD, gastroparesis, etc
Check out the article here, and share it far and wide! Share it with your health practitioner:
Here is the paper:
This what happens when you give mega-dose vitamin B1 to an 84 year old with Dementia

I recently received an email from a follower, who's mother was experiencing serious and rapid cognitive decline.
She put her on the high-dose thiamine protocol. This video shows the before and after at ONE MONTH

Did you know some of the oldest humans to ever live were smokers? 🚬
Some even credited their extraordinary longevity to smoking cigarettes
Is there an unknown mechanism by which nicotine could promote longevity in a select few?
🧵
To be clear: I do not advocate smoking.
I am merely interested in the potential benefits of exogenous nicotine

🚨 The most important organ you know nothing about:
➡️The Extracellular Matrix
This hidden network of proteins and connective tissue governs cell detoxification, nutrient transport, and cellular bioenergetics.
Here's what you need to know👇 1/ What is the ECM?
It is a dynamic structure of proteins (collagen, elastin), glycoproteins and glycosaminoglycans
Occupying the space between cells which spans the entire body, it provides structural support while acting as a dynamic signaling and biochemical regulator.

1/ Could a localized thiamine (vitamin B1) deficiency in the GUT be a root cause of common GI disorders?
Your intestinal cells might experience a deficit of B1 even when systemic levels are "normal."
We recently submitted a paper on this (in peer review)
A thread🧵👇2/ How does this look in real life?
B1 deficiency symptoms may present solely in the gut:
🔹SIBO
🔹Low stomach acid
🔹GERD
🔹Leaky gut
🔹Gastroparesis
🔹Gut inflammation
All can be signs of a localized deficiency which doesn’t show up on tests or in other organ systems

My approach to fixing dysautonomia post-COVID/ mRNA shots🧵
Targeting the CHOLINERGIC system with 3 therapeutic agents
Autonomic nervous system dysfunction is extremely common in this cohort - especially after mRNA.
4 years on - A lot of people are still sick, and dysautonomia can can account for many (if not all) of the symptoms
Spike protein binds nicotinic acetylcholine receptors and triggers degeneration of cholinergic neurons
Spike also impairs the production of acetylcholine in said neurons.
Without acetycholine, the nervous system begins to malfunction

A hidden deficiency of thiamine (vitamin B1) is one of the most common causes of:
Yet you won't read this in any textbook & practically no one knows. Here's how it works:2) For healthy digestion, your digestive organs need to know what to do and at what times.
They receive this information directly from the BRAIN via autonomic nervous system
When your gut doesn't receive the right messages at the right times, you can develop signs of poor digestion
Most gut issues are a symptom of an underlying defect in either 1. secretion or 2. motility/muscular control
Your gut needs receive the correct top-down signals from the brain to successfully:
- Secrete stomach acid, chyme, digestive enzymes
- Control when sphincters open and close
- Contract smooth muscles of the stomach and intestine to propel food through the GI tract at a normal rate

Mechanism behind thiamine's unique ability to reverse disease (even without a deficiency):
- Oxidative stress, inflammation, and toxins inactivate our cell machinery used to generate energy
- Sustained mega doses of B1 can re-activate these enzymes, restoring energy & function
The thiamine-dependent enzyme a-KGDH is extremely sensitive to oxidative stress and toxicity.
This is a RATE-LIMITING enzyme. When it becomes inactivated, mitochondrial energy metabolism shuts down.
This enzyme is decreased in a variety of neuro-degenerative conditions

Here are 5 nutritional supplements which can be effective for benzo withdrawal.
At the cellular level, withdrawal appears to involve:
- Structural changes in the GABA-a receptor
- Loss of sensitivity to GABA
- Rebound glutamate excitoxicity
Explanation in following tweets... 1) Agmatine is a metabolite of arginine which modulates NMDA receptor function.
A recent study on benzo withdrawal demonstrated:
-Significant reduction in symptom scores
- Increased GABA
- Lower glutamate
- Major improvement across the board
