Magnesium and the heart
I stopped taking my magnesium supplement (not prescribed) about a month ago in the hope that my persistent morning diarrhoea would clear up. It hasn't. But I have noticed, on my Fitbit records, that my sleep quality has gone right down, my resting heart rate has increased from 60 to 72, and my heart

Poop talk: microbiome and prostate cancer, some news
Ok, it's one fascinating subject, especially if we use the word microbiome! Consider that the study was carried out on murine models but also on humans, so there are some interesting findings. In a small small nutshell (but I suggest you to read the whole article, at least the introduction and the conclusions

PMR/Prednisolone/Alendronic Acid
Thank you all for your posts and will now try to reduce even more slowly. !5 mg of Prednisolone was not enough, so have now increased to 17.5mg and are again keeping fingers crossed. Would welcome views on long term (nearly 5 years) usage of Alendronic acid (I am male 79 years old) as I think that in

Need advice understanding results
Hi, I’m after some advice, I’m a 40 year old male and this year I’ve not been feeling great. I’m tired a lot, depressed, anxiety, no energy, high cholesterol and just generally feel awful much of the time.

Dietary Approaches to Improve Efficacy and Control Side Effects of Levodopa Therapy in Parkinson's Disease: A Systematic Review
I was researching supplement BCAA provided by my husband's functional medicine MD. I was surprised to find one of the ingredients was listed as a major contraindication with levodopa. L-Phenylalanine. Dug a little deeper and it related to protein and impact on levodopa. Found an interesting article

Advice on Vitamin D, K2 and Folate
Hi Everyone I have recently had a range of blood tests done, unfortunately I don’t seem to have any results for thyroid which they were supposed to do. My GP has asked me to make an appointment to speak to her, so I’ll ask why I haven’t got any results for thyroid and whether the test was done.

Pregnacare
I've been taking this for around a year now. I've also been taking CoQ10 & Omega 3. I'm looking to add magnesium & zinc into my supplement library. Pregnacare looks like it has very low doses of everything anyway. Can someone recommend a folic acid that I should take? I'm thinking of just taking everything

News today.
Has anyone heard the latest news from “Bristol live” that taking Omega 3 fatty acids and fish oil supplements is a risk factor for AF and stroke? I personally don’t take this supplement because it interacts with warfarin, but thought those that do might like to investigate.

I figured out how to tolerate antibiotics (trimethoprim in this case) without huge neuropathic pain flare!! (for real this time!)
I've been posting about this on and off all year trying to get some answers. Anyway, I'll keep it short. I've been unable to tolerate Trimethoprim or Doxycycline without the both causing unbearable neuropathic pain (burning, stinging, tingling, etc). I tried multiple times and failed to continue after
