I like cabbage, especially oven roasted.. yum!
Seems like i get lots of carnitine too from all the beef I am eating. yay
@arket I am far removed from my biochem degree earlier in life, kind of wish I stuck on that path, and was actively researching this as a career, would then take a stance on the theory.
I have tested with Lithium, which is part of the healing stack, but did not notice and sustained positives from it. I did not test Alcar or CoQ10 with it though, used them in the past separately with no benefit. Low VA makes the most common sense approach to me, instead of trying to hack minerals or supplements.

Yeah, sounds about right. I'm actually on a very high lithium diet. I eat lot's of potatoes, cabbage and hemp seeds, all are high in lithium. Seeds usually accumulate lithium so much that it is advised that their consumption is limited to just a couple of tbsp per day. So I won't be buying any lithium supplements, that's for sure.
Years ago I did a lot of research on alcar supps and came to the conclusion that it is actually harmful. Don't remember why, but I'm not gonna try it again.
Taking coq10 doesn't feel right to me and it's usually only recommended people who are on statins.
So it seems that I won't be testing this theory.
Another post about healing from Accutane(Sodium Butyrate), so should be good against excreting VA. Eating beans/legumes should provide, but maybe supp'ing would be helpful as well.

@orion, interesting article, legumes seems to have some potent magic in them again. They are also high in lithium. Funny how natural foods have all the things in them in a beautiful balance. As soon as we supplement its risky it could throw the balance way off. This is how I feel about it.
Hey @sand, I will probably avoid any supplements, as they always backfire for me, over and over again. Will just stick with low VA, and try to get things like lithium and butyrate from foods and see what happens. But I do like to to see where all this different type of research will lead.
5 yrs done, will do another 5 yrs. I am avoiding VA, but in social situation will consume some, not worried about one meal here and there at this point.
