Floradix.. some german brand with some herbs and berry juice and b vitamins. Not the best but better than having crappy filler. 15mg iron a day.
I do feel a bit better and maybe walking slightly more straight. Slow to tell yet.
I want to voice a word of caution about supplementing with iron. If you are deficient in thiamine, your blood brain barrier can become compromised and the iron can get through it and into your brain and damage it.

@mostlylurking
Aha! So stick to thiamine and magnesium for a start.
I know thiamine can chelate excess iron out of the brain though. so no worries

The study clearly mentions thiamine also increasing acetylcholine synthesis, but of course thiamine is extremly helpfull and there is even some studies showing that in low dosages increases acetylcholine while in high dosages lowers it due to restoration of the receptor.
I was just making the OP aware of the symptoms.
Thiamine could help ATP and improve hypoxic tendencies when anemic with low oxygenation. Helped with that for me in a similar situation. -
Do you feel good eating pork from healthy animals? I am considering trying for the thiamine..

@questforhealth
Thiamine can chelate iron, but will not make you more anemic, it's not so strong in doing that as with aspirin and or vitamin E. -
@Razvan Btw, it's very hard, almost impossible to have high acetylcholine when being anemic and or iron deficient. You are just stuck in a adrenalized, sympathetic and most likely you lack normal vagus nerve function and parasympathetic function which should allow you to relax, that's where acetylcholine could help, most likely you will benefit from stuff like thiamine increasing or regulating acetylcholine.
I did. -

It would be a safer plan to just do the thiamine, magnesium glycinate, riboflavin, and niacinamide. I provided the doses that I take earlier. That said, Dr. Costantini preferred for his patients to stop all other supplements for a few weeks in the beginning of taking the high dose thiamine so that he could confirm to his satisfaction that the improvements he saw were indeed due to the thiamine. So I take this to mean that it really isn't necessary to slam yourself with all this stuff all together in the beginning. That said, I didn't stop taking my other supplements when I started taking high dose thiamine. You get to decide; it's your body. Just don't overwhelm yourself with a bunch of new stuff at once or you will have more difficulty discerning which one is doing what.

I don't eat pork, i don't see it as a good protein source. -
@Razvan
Not even pork that is red like beef? From a good farm? -
@questforhealth Could be good, better, yes.
I don't have access to good farm pork. -
Yeah I will have to see. I’ll need to tryout the thiamine. I’ve taken B3 and B2 before with good results too so I imagine they should all benefit me.
I guess since i’m so sick it’s going to take a while. If the digestion kicks back in that would be the best.

Oh I’ve had weird serotonin stuff before.
If I eat the wrong thing I feel like i’m on an ssri. Serotonin overload.
A banana or a little pineapple used to cause me some serious serotonin overload symptoms. Now I can eat a banana again without that problem so I know my brain serotonin is much better.
I was unable to tolerate the tiniest dose of methylene blue during that same time.

Do you think metals from vaccines are what causes us to have these insane needs for B1??

-
@mostlylurking
Yeah but you wouldn’t eat pigs fed milk and potatoes? Seems like a clean food but I’m not sure..

They do contribute to the body's load of toxins, including heavy metals.
Here's a list of sources for mercury.
-
@mostlylurking
My long term plan is to test for heavy metals then chelate them out the body. But I know vitamins taken the right way can help my symptoms in the mean time at least. Really hope so as I’ve had great results in the past.

That's all they're fed??? I don't know.... The last time I ate any pork was about 15 years ago; it was a slice of smoked ham from a wild local feral pig smoked by the local small town establishment. It was really tasty. No telling what it had been eating.... I don't want to know.

@mostlylurking
My parents used to keep pigs when they lived on a farm and in pictures from that time they are glowing with health.
They were fed a diet pretty similar to that.
Modern pork i know is fed soy. I hate the smell of soy pig feed. Meat from hell

Just don't let anybody chelate you without you also taking thiamine. Chelating a patient who is thiamine deficient can result in death of the patient.
