As long as you write from time to time and I'm able to subscribe I will continue. Your posts are usually worth the wait, as I pickup information and they are usually thought provoking.

You work hard (I have benefited from your hard work), but I'm so glad that you took some time off to just spend with Kerrie and work on your relationship. I wish you all the best!

Great post So nice to read some happy news. I have an urgent request my 20 year old niece is in the hospital in White Plains NY with severe tremors what looks like some form of seizures Do you have any referrals to innovative doctors who will not deny a possible vax injury. I know this will come as a great surprise but they are saying these horrific “episodes” are stress related She also starts to get itchy before she has an episode. They are giving her IVIG the first infusion she had a reaction yet proceeded to give her the next round. I was at the FLCCC event in PHX and there was a terrific female neurologist who spoke would you be able to provide her contacts info. This young girl is a college student so she has no funds to afford a call to Leading Edge I wish she did. I would pay for it as we need to get interventions ideally we need to get her out of the current hospital. Even the hospital isn’t said get her out of here they dont know what they are doing. Ever so comforting…. Not sorry to be so snarky but I am exasperated. Any suggestions you can provide I would be so appreciative. With great appreciation for your scholarship kindness and humaness.

I would suggest contact with a neurologist and close colleague. Please message in your CERBO portal and I can reply. When a patient is in the hospital, they might as well be in a maximum security prison. We and our colleagues on the outside, have no ability to influence the course of treatment.

Scott, check out Sophia Health Institute in WA and do the $11/mo subscription for Dr. Klinghardt's vimeo collection. Don and I are learning soooo much. It will blow your mind. He usually does new ones every week. Seriously check it out and you won't regret it. Also waiting for the big reveal!

You know us as Judy and Don from the FLCCC conferences and your zooms.

Thank you for sharing this! As I read it, it made me feel more “normal” I’ve been married 34 years and it’s been a lot of rough times. God’s Grace and mercy has been my strength along with lots of therapy! Blessings on you and your family!

I no longer have long-term romantic partnerships, and your post caused me to look at my fierce determination to lock the front door. Maybe it isn't the existence or non- of such relationships, but the firm determination not to allow them, that is worth questioning for me. Thank you for that. And, I do have important friendships in which I keep an eye on the door. Your honesty spurs me to look more closely at that. Again, thank you.

That’s heartwarming Roxanne. It isn’t easy for me to share so much, so publicly, but I want to destigmatize human efforts at mental health liberation, and shine light on the challenges we face in our short-, medium- and long-term romantic relationships. One thing Dr Helfland talks about is how practically none of us were taught the skills we need to make relationships work. So, it isn’t our fault if we struggle and flail, and if we can learn these skills and practice them, there is hope and increased intimacy.

Also, I hope (and assume) that you will alert us to Dr. Kory's upcoming trace mineral papers.

Remarkable font of creativity and productivity here. Thanks for sharing. I took ketamine for three months and thought it made my Parkinson's slightly worse. My conclusion was that it might be most appropriate for problems like depression and anxiety that require subtraction rather than augmentation, if you get it.

Rumor has it that niacin helps parkinsons.

Niacin also helps my anxiety, whenever it tries to return.

All I have to deal with is "the flush."

Are you still finding Augmented NAC helpful in the practice?

Expand full comment
Scott Marsland, FNP-C's avatar

Yes, and, using it together with chelating and binding therapies is helpful. E.g. Pectasol, Pekticlean (from Germany, hard to get now because of the tariffs and interference from customs), and trace mineral solutions which Pierre will post about.

Good to hear - my augmented NAC took quite some time to make it through the government "assistance" in my location.

Just guessing here - you've gone down the same rabbit hole I have, only you got there way before me. Very exciting stuff. Maybe someday you'll tell us the story. :)
