@yeehawyinzer Thank you!

Thank you!

Before I started PC no matter what I took I needed inhalers, but after taking anywhere between 2-3 capsules of PC (each 420mg of PC) I had no asthma symptoms - that very day.

After a while, I wanted to lower the PC dose, and I've been able to get it to only one capsule a day, but if I notice the breathing is deteriorating I will add in other anti-asthma approaches. Such as:

1. I will try to make sure I do not have an excess of histamine, theanine, vitamin C or an antihistamine
2. Block LOX with either Boswellia Serrata or Clove (+ vit E)
3. Block PLA2 with either Gingko or Pycnogenol (+ vit E)
4. Make sure I don't irritate my intestines or activate TLR4 - this is hard to do practically other than avoiding irritating things like talc you can also take TLR4-blocking things like glycine and progesterone
5. Many other things also help with asthma, such as vitamin D and making sure you consume enough vitamin A etc.

In terms of preventing potential negatives of the PC, I do take vitamin E often, in the hope that it can mitigate possible issues. Also, vitamin E is a PLA2 and LOX inhibitor to an extent which helps. But having said that, even if there are some issues with the PC it's personally worth it for me because the asthma medications/inhalers are likely worse.

With this approach I'm asthma-free, however, I would like to check my blood eosinophil count and if high I would be concerned that there is some chronic infection going on perhaps parasitic.

Hope that helps! - also feel free to subscribe to the substack if you'd like, it's free to do so and I have posts on many "Maladies and Remedies". Thank you.
