ZINC
We would like to point out that people shouldn't just blindly supplement with Zinc. It important to balance minerals and there's a lot of reasons behind it. So always get advice from your doctor on adding zinc and if so, how much. I was taught that too much Zinc can make you feel a certain way. It's interesting because I had to space out how often I took it because I was feeling bad. But when I adjusted Zinc, I improved. I put info on that at bottom. 25% off Zinc here. Search

TURMERIC / CURCUMIN
Christina Christensen and I are always working on requested topics. Here is a new one for you. "Laboratory experiments suggest curcumin is a potent anti-inflammatory, a strong anti-oxidant, and an effective anti-microbial against bacteria, viruses, yeast, and even parasites. It can decrease pain, limit Herxheimer Die-off reactions, decrease brain injury and damage, and may kill Lyme and co-infection germs. It may boost the immune system by lowering excess inflammation cyto


TUDCA
Several brands available at 25% off at: Us.fullscript.com/welcome/theriseabovelyme "Even more confusing, your body makes UDCA and then converts it to TUDCA later on.

"Nettle has been shown to inactivate and inhibit the H1 receptors (H1 blocking medications are used to treat allergies) and stabalise mast cells which prevents extra histamine being released in your body.
