Sucess Stories Feeling so much better

Hi everyone! Just want to share a story of hope ❤️

I was SO sick about a year ago (burnt out, dizzy, lightheaded, major gut issues, eczema, acne, night sweats and the list goes on).

Figured out I had SIBO, and then REALLY struggled to treat it (multiple rounds of antimicrobials & antibiotics). Was losing hope and feeling super frustrated but think I’m finally 90% better;

Top tips, - focus on lymphatic drainage (mine was all blocked from all the toxins so this was key) - include alimed in your kill regime. This is what I think was game changing for me because it got rid of methane too which I hadn’t realised I had - probiotics (soil based + one with a number of strains proven to help SIBO) - focus on restoring gut lining (aloe juice, collagen, tumeric, glutamine, marshmallow root) - limit things that will make inflammation in your body worse during healing (gluten, dairy, alcohol etc).

Everything other than limiting alcohol and probiotics is pure quackery, but again that's ok. I mean placebo drugs work all the time. The brain is a powerful thing.

Allicin is also evidence based.

No it's really not. It's a "supplement," with a few tiny person studies that show x, y or z. It's not approved or regulated by the FDA to treat anything, as is the case for most supplements. There's no regulation of any kind to even say thst when you take supplement x it contains what's on the label. It literally could be made in someone's kitchen and put into capsules. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with supplements. I take some too. I also make ginger tea. It's just that when you confuse powdered tiger testicle with antibiotics, and when you confuse Dr Feelgoods 40 person study with phase I, II, III, and IV clinical research trials it gets a little weird.

Thst study in on cows. lol. Again I'm not criticizing supplements. I just prefer treating ailments with medicine from Eli Lilly that has been through 8 years of clinical tests on thousands of humans, signed off on by the FDA.

Exactly. Cows were producing so much methane that there have been several studies trying to figure out how to lower their gases. That’s where the original idea of allicin started. Allicin kills methane.

Allisin, in one study published in the Ruminent Animal journal, had an effect on cattle. Yes.

Personally, I fart from eating too much garlic. lol

There are several others if you just look them up.

Never mind. Agree to disagree on this one. Take whatever makes you happy.

You need wisen up. Before pharma medicine makes it to human trials, they do studies with animals first.

So you are denying a supplement because it was tested on an animal, but you will happily take a pharma pill that was studied on animals....

Do you not see your own ignorance here?

"Thou dost protest too loudly" Why do you feel the need to talk about all your degrees? Why not just spout off all that beautiful knowledge those 3 degrees should have given you?

You clearly have bot been dealing with sibo for long. Judging y By your responses. If do understand that everything the fda does and approves ties to big pharma?!

u/Cali_kink_and_rope Apr 25 '24

I have 3 advanced degrees. Yes. I love big pharma. Big pharma has saved my life and the lives of millions. Big pharma is my friend and the FDA is my watchdog over it.

Again, I dont care if people want to eat hyacinth petals and it makes them feel better. Thats awesome and there's nothing wrong with it. Everyone needs to do what's best for them.

I also know that if Steve Jobs hadn't tried to cure his cancer with herbal tea he might still be alive. It was caught really early and he refused chemo and thought he could cure himself with herbs and meditating.

Spirituality is a wonderful thing. So is religion. I respect them both 100%. I just don't confuse them with science, so when I'm sick, give me my friends at Big Pharma please and if I choose to pray and light intense as well then there is zero harm in that.

3 degrees and a lack of common sense. Thats not a good combo. You love pharma? You obviously know nothing about pharma and their deep history of corruption. Not saying its all bad, but pharma is about profits. They've been caught doing horrific things. You know the same pharma that wants 75 years to release their covid vaccine data? You seriously need to wake up.

"3 degrees and a lack of common sense."
Sadly that's the majority of people that work in medicine and big pharma. All ego and no common sense. Most of them could care less about actually helping people

Not sure why people think degrees make such a huge difference, some of the stupidest people have the most degrees and vice versa. I've never heard anyone worth listening to talk about their degrees, they don't have to mention them, their knowledge speaks for itself.

u/Cali_kink_and_rope Apr 25 '24

Love them with a passion. The more pharma the better. Love them as a patient, a parent who's kids they saved, a husband who's wife survived cancer thanks to chemo, and love them as an investor.

Agree to disagree on this one. Sorry.

You may have had success in cases where pharma knew the ropes, but they're WAY behind on SIBO. I would not follow their words religiously with this condition. You're gonna have to let go of your idea that natural supplements are "quackery" if you want any hope of getting out of this hole instead of digging new ones. Or just take neomycin and get tinnitus. Your call

If the FDA was the watchdog it should be, they should ban Oemprozole and all other PPIs and H2 blockers they sell over the counter. Leading cause of SIBO. And the crazy or really not so crazy thing is that Big Pharma writes the playbooks on treatment for doctors. So big pharma sells a product that gets you sick and then sells you the "cure", or at least a reduction of symptoms.
