I needed to disable self sign-ups because I’ve been getting too many spam-type accounts. Thanks.
Serious start:11 September 2019
@lil-chick. It was shocking to acquire this sort of pain in the neck! I see daily improvement and I feel pain only when I move my neck in a certain way. The electrolytes suggestion is great and I am sure that my magnesium was out to lunch for a while.
I have been trying to be very aware of my sleeping position and yes, sleeping without a pillow for the part of the night might be helpful.
It looks like vitamin A doesn't leave quietly.
Quote from Jenny on May 27, 2021, 9:10 amSorry to hear that you’ve been having a difficult time. That amount of ascorbic acid will slow the detox enzymes so perhaps stopping it caused a massive spurt in detox? I don’t know just an idea.
I will be getting myself off of it. I think that ascorbic acid became a sort of addiction. I had a terrible toothache at the start of the lockdown and this was a life saver when no dentist was available. It is time to move on...
The trying low oxalate FB group recommend no more than 250mg of vitamin C a day. I sometimes take that amount but no more. Sounds like vC came to the rescue in lockdown and needs must. I’d use higher amounts for covid too. It’s a useful tool at times, but not long term. Good luck with weaning off Beata.
Brave. I’d probably wean. If you aren’t a good detoxifier and you suddenly get a detox dump you can end up with toxicity back in your blood. I think of it as the detox becoming a retox! I’m @jaj btw just incase the other Jenny gets confused!
18 July 2021 update
Blood test results are in and there is a general improvement but not a recovery yet (from Hashimoto’s).
My marker for thyroid antibodies (TPA 0-35) is at 75.5 from 92.5 IU/ml - lower than previously but still above range.
This is disappointing as I am not sure that there is anything else I can do in terms of diet or environment.
*My T3 is over the range which meant that I needed to lower my medication. Great news.
*My cholesterol markers normalised from very high previously (when on a high fat carnivore diet).
*Ferritin still too high at 194 from 207 ug/L (13-150)
*Urea and ALP previously high are now within ranges.
Vitamin B12 at 256 pmol/l (25-165) is high and I am not supplementing.
All the other markers (the test was for 57 of them) are at good levels.
I feel physically well and the previous aches and pains disappeared. I started to add garlic to my food again Nd after several days got a 36 hours headache. I still cannot fathom to add onions which I always enjoyed. Something changed in May and the allium family is out.
I still have an issue falling asleep which is really annoying. I need melatonin on most nights and even that helps only a little.
I had some hair loss for a couple of months but now there is much less hair on the brush which I am relieved to see.
My food remains very simple with meat (beef, venison, lamb, chicken), bean, rice, sauerkraut and mushrooms, salt, some olive and coconut oil. Water to drink. I can never get tired of this limited menu and actually really enjoy my simple meals.
Supplement with magnesium and ascorbic acid (half the previous very high dose).
Something quite extraordinary happened on July7, 2021.
I was looking at my little teapot and was mesmerised by the light and shadows reflecting on its surface. I took a pencil and started to draw. Prior, I didn’t know how to hold a pencil, so looking at the result I was pleasantly surprised. I also noticed how time stopped while drawing and I was transported into the realm of lights and shadows.
I have been drawing daily since and today I finished a portrait of an old lady. As it has only been seven weeks of my drawing adventures, I can sincerely say that something happened to my brain. At 57 I did not expect to develop this new skill!

What comes up…
June and July were my best months since I can remember. I felt physically stong, my body showed amazing flexibility and my mind was at a level I have not experienced in years. I was aware of this feeling of total wellness, ease and creativity.
Then I was volunteered to cater a party for 9 people with whom I do not feel any connection. I stood to the task and did all the planning, shopping, cooking, serving and cleaning. I also spent time in their company, all freshly vaccinated to a hilt. (I am not sure if this has any significance but I feel compelled to mention it).
Since that time, (August 1) I feel like I tumbled down into the abyss. I feel deeply tired, somewhat depressed, annoyed, anxious with some instances of rage brewing under and insomnia on top.
WTF happened??? Where is the heaven I experienced prior?
Everything that was amazing is now not. Physical strength, mood, creativity all seem to take a leave of my person.
I am trying to figure out what I am doing differently…I think I started to eat black beans for long periods of time rather than a variety of different beans I eat earlier. Would this be a problem?
I remember feeling this awful few years ago when I was taking MitoCopper - a very expensive copper supplement. Am I getting excessive amounts of cooper from the black beans?
Catering this party was something that I wished I didn’t feel obliged to do. Was doing this against my better judgment a reason for my collapse?
Do people shed spike proteins and I was affected by it?
I also noticed on the ElectroSmart app that the EMF exposure is very high all the time and the Telefonica UK (cellular antennas) became the highest source of it rather than my router. I noticed that we now have very strong internet in the room where previously I could not use any devices. We didn’t change the router. I am not able to find more about what these cellular antennas are.
I have been struggling and wondering what the hell happened. Is this vit A detox and the rest are just incidentals?
I had a 2 month long view of what it feels to be a normal human being. It is all gone now and life seems like a great effort. There is a small part within me still perfectly fine, perfectly able to handle what comes. But my body and my mind seem to have gone south and it doesn’t feel good.
Edit. Few more items that I eat and forgot to mention: marine collagen daily, bone broth in cycles, apple cider vinegar, lemon.
I starter in zinc and I also took vitamin B complex on occasion but rarely.
