How do I do a search?

My full regime:

Mannitol (you absolutely must at least try this - yes it will make you runny, hold it in to exercise the vagus nerve. You can get it on the internet - it is not expensive), Exercise, Coconut oil, Low carb, high fat diet where possible. ( Imagine your brain has now become a diesel engine. Carbs is petrol. It can't cope very well with carbs).

Avoid milk especially skimmed and semi-skimmed (reduces uric acid levels). Cheese I think is OK.

Avoid sugar , biscuits, chocolate.

Exercise is absolutely key- Stationary bike (£45 second hand). Gym when I have time. Need to do 50 minutes cardio + 40 minutes non-intense activity pretty much every day.

Social activities also help. Beer helps raise your uric acid levels. But not too much beer - alcohol can lower your magnesium levels which result is poor sugar control

Watch some comedy before bed. Read an historical novel which details how shit life was back in the 19th Century/ World War 1/India/France etc. Thank your lucky stars you were not born then. Or Syrian now.

Also take Vitamin b1 with coq10 ( from wilkos) , curcumin with pepper.

Vitamin D + K ( comes with calcium for some reason). Or go out into the sunlight at Midday and eat Brassicas

Take Magnesium Citrate as well.

Take Melatonin sometimes but not sure this helps that much or at all.

What mannitol dose do you take?

[alexask in reply to MGP201]

A very heaped teaspoon in coffee first thing (with a tablespoon of coconut oil), then maybe small amounts throughout the day

You think mannitol is helping?

Have you tried NAC?

[alexask in reply to Astra7]

Mannitol is the one supplement I wouldn't dare discontinue (though I vary the doses from that which makes you really want to go to the toilet a lot to not that much). NAC I have tried, but am not sure it helps me. One thing is that I have a lot of (imo unnessary) mercury amalgalm fillings. I have read that NAC may slosh these around your brain more, so I don't take it that much. Still it is definitely worth trying and if it works for you continuing with.

I'm taking so many supplements I don't know which ones help! I bought some mannitol but havnt tried it yet as I'm wary of gastric problems and taking more stuff.

Just read article about asthma inhalers reducing the protein. Wonder if that is worth a try.

More stuff!!
