IH -- a couple of questions.

First off, thanks for the tip of taking the double strength Hyaluronic Acid supp. In a week, my face looks very different. I would say the effect is as if I had just washed and moisturized when I haven't yet.

Usually, when I wake up in the morning my face sagged slightly, especially below the eyes, but that has changed. I'm waking up in the morning looking very fresh faced. It's kind of shocking.

My wife, of course, noticed this right away and asked what I was doing and she is going to start taking it as well.

She of course is getting interested in the supplements I'm taking so my question is what general health supplements would you recommend for an otherwise healthy woman in her very early 30's?

The only thing she regularly deals with are pretty bad allergies. In fact, her Eosinophils are usually high. At one point a doctor made her think it could be cancer, but they ruled that out (after making her go through an awful bone marrow biopsy) and then said that the allergies were making the readings high. She takes a daily prescription allergy pill to combat this.

She also gets terrible tension issue in her right back shoulder blade area. She gets knots the size of golf balls at times and has been going to physical therapy to deal with this.

She is very interested in getting on the right supps for these issues and general health issues from this point on and I'm wondering what would you recommend? Any thoughts would be appreciated.

hadrion - Do you know if she's sensitive to wheat or gluten? If you're not sure you can have her try BioCore DPP IV (Dipeptidyl peptidase IV). It's enzyme that improves the digestion of wheat/gluten. If her allergies ease up that could be the reason (wheat/gluten sensitivity).

Has she had any injuries or any reasons you can think of for the knots in the shoulder blades?

Some of the info you're looking for might be in the daily topic. http://www.immortalhair.org/apps/blog/

IH - Funny you mention that. She doesn't know if she's sensitive to wheat/gluten, but we're going to check that out. We're both going to abstain from it for a few weeks and see how we feel.

I was wondering if I should start her on the sulfophrane supps since you had indicated that it helped with allergies.

As for the shoulder, she didn't injure it per se. They think she is sitting at her desk wrong for years and she's finally getting that straightened out. She's been going to PT for about a month and is feeling better. What she did do on my recommendation was start using the Mag Oil and taking a magnesium supp I have and she's seen improvement.

I was just wondering if there's any benefit for her to take the Fibroboost, Curcumin/Res, ALC/ALA supps? She's going to start the Krill Oil and I have her using D-3 I'm also trying to convince her to give iodine a try.

Thanks for your thoughts.

hadrion - All of those supplements would offer substantial benefit. For the most part, "A to Z" prevention in most age-related diseases and maladies.

Mag oil is great for the back, hope that will fix it eventually. If not, she could try a course of Serrapeptidase (enteric coated) and see if that resolves anything.

If the wheat/gluten experiment doesn't offer any changes, then Broccomax or even iodine would be something else to try.

IH, hyal acid should be taken on an empty stomach?
Can other things be taken at the same time like the pauling protocol or i.e zinc (i take it as ZMA before sleep) or they inhibit HA's absorption?

I'm taking the Hyaluronic acid with food and all my other supplements and I'm seeing immediate results in my facial skin. The lines from my nose to the corner of mouth are disappearing. It's pretty f'ing crazy. My wife is in shock. This stuff works.

I'm a firm believer in hyaluronic acid as well.

Here's a good video for those that don't know about hyaluronic acid. The video is on the right side of this link under Order Now. I've shown this video to a couple friends and family and they end up ordering some after watching this, lol.

Also, bone broth is even better for the hyaluronic acid IME. Here's a link about bone broth

Interesting JDP. I might go the bone broth route.

I'm still eagerly anticipating your thread on diet and such.

As for Hyaluronic acid, I'm sold. I cannot believe the difference in my face. I wake up in the morning looking I'd say 5-10 years younger and I'm in my mid 30's. It's just shocking to me.

If I can get my hair to regrow and thicken on top, I'll have completely turned back the clock appearance wise to my late 20's.

Amazing stuff.

Hey Hadrion,

lol, I did create that thread a couple days ago. I think I spent 2 1/2 hours on it. It's located here

https://immortalhair.forumotion.com/natural-hair-regrowth-forum-f1/what-happened-when-msg-got-a-bad-name-they-just-changed-the-name-t1862.htm

I also created another older one previously regarding gluten and oxalates

https://immortalhair.forumotion.com/natural-hair-regrowth-forum-f1/celiac-patients-are-short-on-antioxidant-capacity-t1699.htm

As far as what foods I can eat or you can eat I've had a bunch of people keep asking me that question but the problem is everybody is different and that's it's a process to figure out which foods work for you and which foods don't. Eating rice, meat and water is the best thing you can do. Nothing else added. Eventually you'll start adding foods back into your diet and you'll find out which foods are the culprit.

Here's some more good quotes and good links and links regarding food

hope this helps

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------


There is no list of safe foods because food processors often change recipes, making a food that is safe today unsafe tomorrow. Also, since people vary in their tolerances for MSG, what one person suggests as being safe is not safe for another person.

Although it is getting more and more difficult to avoid processed free glutamic acid (MSG), it is still possible. The safest produce is organic produce. It is best to make things from scratch, avoiding all processed foods."


oxalates see these links =

http://www.branwen.com/rowan/oxalate.htm

http://www.celiac.com/gluten-free/index.php?showtopic=38564

good quotes

"If ALA is helping people get rid of oxalates...I have no doubts that DMSA and DMPS would have that same effect....and without as much risk of redistribution (which causes an increase in symptoms).

This would also explain why people no longer have these food intolerances once the metals are detoxed."

Making sure you're not B6 deficient and eating calcium when consuming high doses of oxalates. Since eating more calcium, make sure you are getting enough magnesium.

"Below are listed some articles that show how commonly crystals of oxalate are found in thyroid tissue. The concentration gets higher the older your age. The oxalate in the thyroid gland can render the patient hypothyroid,"

MSG/free glutamic acid/glutamate see this link =

http://www.truthinlabeling.org/hiddensources.html

https://immortalhair.forumotion.com/natural-hair-regrowth-forum-f1/celiac-patients-are-short-on-antioxidant-capacity-t1699.htm

another quote
"Making it even more difficult for the MSG-sensitive individual, in February of this year, the FDA approved Sanova, an antimicrobial rinse, for use on red meats. The product, composed of "sodium chloride" and "citric acid," is claimed by its manufacturer, the Alcide Corporation, to kill 99 percent of pathogens on carcasses. Sanova is also approved for use on poultry carcasses, fruits and vegetables. Efforts are underway by the manufacturer to approve the rinse for use on processed foods. Foods treated with Sanova are not required to disclose the fact that "sodium chloride" and "citric acid" were used on them."

lectins/gluten/casien/soy/corn, etc.

good quote =

"Throughout our history our ancestors had limited exposure to many lectin families depending on location. In our modern world it is common to believe that we can eat any food we like. We can but the food we eat may not like us. Some persons (a minority) can tolerate all foods. For the rest of us most will find one or more lectin groups they do not tolerate. Of those who experience antigen responses most will not need to eliminate more than one or two major lectin groups. You have to experiment and see 'who' you are and 'what' your ideal foods are. It is a process.

Consider the group most likely to be causing a problem.

Deadly nightshades including tomato, potato and eggplant.
Glutens found in wheat, rye, barley, malt, and oats.
Legumes, all beans including soy and peanut.
Dairy including all milk products, milk, cheese, cottage cheese, yogurt, kefir.
Eggs "
