Japanese Knotweed 2 caps tid
Metagenics D3 5000iu
Emergen-C 1000mg bid
Thorne B Complex#12
Thornie Ultimate E
Country Life Max For Men 1/4 bid
Glucosamine Sulfate tid
Biosil 4 drops
Garden of Life Perfect Food cap at each eating
Thorne Pic-Mins
Magnesium Malate tidNot quite as straight forward as regular stuff from the store, because these particular products have a variety of different things in them....for example the B-Complex has two different kinds of B6, 2 different kinds of B12, etc, and the E is in three different forms.....all so that if there is any kind of metabolic roadblock or genetic problem in converting these, the right stuff is provided to account for that.
The entire handful of supplements has several targets...
Inflammation
Unknown infection bacterial or fungal
Neurotransmitter production
Collagen production
General detox...ample good stuff going in, rapid removal or displacement of bad stuff.Japanese Knotweed is not only a premiere base herb for infections of all kinds and inflammation, but is the world's most potent source of Resveratrol, which in on its own is a superstar.
Overall global improvement after 2 weeks....60%.
Improvement in:
Depression 70%
Motivation/anhedonia 75%
Anxiety 95%
Body,muscle, joint pains 40%
Brain fog 50%
Energy/endurance 50%
Attitude at morning waking 60%.
Hydradenitis 40%I wish I could say any of the dozens of psych meds I took over the last 15 years had done as well. But they didn't. I am still a fan, I just think people rely on them too much as sole treatments or firstline treatments or longterm treatments, when in my opinion they should not be any of those. Depression is caused by stuff. Fix the stuff.
But wait, bleauberry, you are an odd case, what works for you won't work for the rest of us. I can hear it already.
Diet is also very clean, organic mostly, with balanced veggies, meats, very little sugars or anything you can't pronounce. Also gluten free and limited dairy.
Even if none of the things I've mentioned were a problem, the supplements are perfectly healthy and pro-health. No harm done in a failure. But, where stubborn depression exists, one or all of those problems are very very likely present.
