My husband is a clinical pharmacist and when I asked him, he said most of these are readily available and recommended to patients all the time in his clinic. “It’s not even fringe science” is what he said. I have these problems (from a related health condition)and I take a few of them already in addition to lifestyle and diet mods, but I have been under a ton of stress and I’m feeling worse. Thanks for creating this video so regular people without medical degrees can do their own research along with medical professionals.
You said feeling bad and having a lot of stress lately, so I wonder if this will help you a bit: Read about adrenal fatigue/insufficiency and see if you recognize some of the symptoms. It might help you. Helped me a lot.
Unfortunately doctors and Pharmacist are not giving any education involving nutrition when they are formally educated. I highly recommend chain linked amino acids. They make you feel like super man or woman. I took them while body building. I also recommend Yoga for stress relief. Research things for yourself, sometimes our husband's aren't as smart as they think they are! 😊🤗😊
8 yrs of chronic fatigue syndrome and you're pretty much the only one who has helped me improve (even if I still have a ways to go). Excited to try Taurine soon.
@@ahmednassar1267 100mg of ttfd thiamine + magnesium (chelate) 300mg. Good for energy. Took b complex as well which helped with neuropathy plus just recommended w/thiamine. I took 2 weeks to build up to 100mg thiamine b/c of possible side effects.
@@trent2219 glad to hear it’s helped you 😊is ttfd the best one to take ? I am so sensitive to supplements. Also in South Africa so difficult to secure TTFD here. So expensive to import and then only having to deal with severe side effects from ttfd. Your advice and suggestions would be appreciated thanks
Chelle Elliot has done several videos on thiamine so I’d recommend you check them out. It might reduce the side effects to take magnesium (The version I took was chelate) worked my way up to 300 mg of magnesium first. You can also consider a b complex. 100 mg of ttfd has really helped me and I haven’t talk to many side effects but I’m sure it’s different person to person. You can also consider benfotiamine. Potentially less side effects.Maybe take a little more of that since its less absorbable.
Wow! Your content on thiamine has blown my mind. This may be the one vitamin that has been causing all my problems for many years. Being deficient in. Sleep apnea, high fasting glucose 110-124, high fasting insulin of 9.1 mIU even though i exercise regular, eat well and still have symptoms. One thing I will say is that you are a very good presenter of material. It's unbelievable. Dam glad there are people like sharing you knowledge. Being deficient in this vitamin might be the reason why I never loose any fat no matter how hard I exercise or diet. Thiamin
I love this guy Thanks! He has helped me and subsequently many others with vitamin B1 knowledge. It's fun teaching people how to reset their energy levels. He talked about berberine and I believe it might be what would really help you. There are a couple of problems with taking it however. It is absorbed at the rate of .5 % but the way to absorb it much better is to take it with coconut milk. Berberine also will build up oxalates so should probably be taken with milk thistle. Milk thistle and berberine work synergistically. The benefits to you are many and will shock you this is God's version of metformin. Helps us lose weight, properly use energy from our food, lowers triglycerides, detoxifies the liver. Aquila and Priscilla are two of my absolute favorite people in the Word😁
Try intermittent fasting. That means start eating at 11am...water only before 11am. And stop eating at 7pm. Water only after 7pm. Add berberine supplements to your diet, and increase fat intake (healthy fats) Virgin olive oil, wheat germ oil, avocado oil, walnut oil, coconut oil, etc.... In 3 months you can contact me and tell me how much you lost! May God bless your journey 🤗😇🤗
Yes, I started taking thiamine 4 months ago, it is healing my adrenals and I am losing weight, my body is starting to return to normal, being what it was at 45 (reverse aging), I am 58 years old.
I'm in a very similar situation as you. It's a chain reaction and you have to investigate where it comes from. Autoimmune comes from GI, which is controlled by the brain and linked by the vagus nerve. Heart issues can throw it all off as well. It's a nightmare do diagnose properly.
I’m glad to hear you talk about methylene blue. I have taken it and had good improvements in my energy levels. But I didn’t see the improvements that were touted. BUT that was before I found you and learned about megadosing Thiamine. Thiamine has significantly improved my joint inflammation and pain and many of my chronic gut issues. Now I’m going to start up on methylene blue again and see if I have better energy results this time. I also want to mention that I think the Thiamine supplementation has reduced my appetite too. I do not have the significant sugar cravings that I used to have. The kind that make you go insane if you don’t get some chocolate or a candy. Those are gone. Now I can eat a piece of chocolate, and my brain says “ok, thanks. That’s enough.” Never had that happen before.
Finding this video was a home run for me. I have what I refer to as "brain burn," as well as multiple chemical sensitivities, fibromyalgia, CFS, neuropathy, leaky gut, cognitive problems, and everything else mentioned in this video. I'm like George Castanza. I have it all !!! And because of all this, I'm also broke and isolated, so I can't afford to try all these supplements. Such is life. At least I finally know what's wrong with me, after 44 years. I overdosed on Freon 12 and Spectracide in quick succession. Probably the worst possible combination of toxins to get MCS and all that goes with it.
Sorry to hear about your troubles. Have you ever tried Fulvic and humic acid? I use a product called Supreme Fulvic. It's a great multitasking supplement and can help the gut. I believe it also pulls toxins while simultaneously providing good nutrients and helps the body utilize whatever nutrition it is getting better. Good luck to you on your healing path!
I love the NAC+Glycine combo. They work together to make lots of glutathione, master antioxidant, very healthy and cleansing! It's important to take them both, glycine adds fuel for the NAC
I use a few of these for other dietary rasons and they have helped my nerve issues. Mag- glycinate, threonate, and citrate Glycine Berberine NAC Omega-3 With a low carb diet and eliminating processed foods.
Thanks SO much Elliot! Keep sharing your knowledge. I am glad to know that I am on the right track, I have been taking most of those supplements, but still it is a lot of work to repair all the damage and have quality of life.
Hi Elliott, I watched both your videos on Neuro inflammation. Both were great! Thank you for your thoroughness and continuing to share your knowledge, with practical steps and supplements a person can use, To help heal. 🙏✌️
This video is wonderful! Knows so much more than almost all of the doctors I’ve seen. Every thing he mentions regarding cautions explains why L Theanime and L Glutamine made me worse. Stimulated my nervous system.
5htp is awesome, GABA is awesome for anxiety. I still take antidepressants but these definitely help. I just think depression is genetic for me unfortunately, but make your own decisions for your health.
@@zelinamarks5397 Ive been onthem since I was like 12 and they have done things to my brain which I do not like and caused me PSSD. I went off of them for a year and all hell broke loose and it was impossible to get back on and almost took me an entire year to get back on them. But being on them Im 100% numb. So it makes life not even seem worth it
Great video. I would go v.high dosage with omega 3. Typical usage is below therapeutic dosage. I use 4-6 capsules of Mayfair brand. Quality must be pharamacutical grade, not oxidised.
Great information, Elliott, thanks very much. If you have a minute, can you provide a brief answer as to whether you think something like taurine, glycine, or phosphatidylcholine would benefit someone on a diet consisting of a lot of meat and eggs (more towards carnivore) or would it not have a significant effect or any whatsoever due to these individuals stores of those nutrients being replete?
Thank you, and I appreciate how you broke down the anti-neuroinflammatories recommended. I wonder if there's one supplement that would include a few of these.
Elliot with all our knowledge expand your brand to help those in desperate need of help and make it as affordable as possible while still making profit, it would make you a hero. I hate big pharma.
I’ve had a negative reaction to both Glycine and l-theanine. TtTFD is very strong for me at very low dosage. I feel super excited, but not in a good way. Restless. However, with nutritional yeast-y brain is happy
N Acetyl Cysteine is NOT metabolized optimally for those with CBS mutations and spectrum of methylation impairments. GABA will also not have therapeutic effect if you are depleted in magnesium , B vitamins and other Aminos like Taurine. For me personally All supplements that effectively detoxed and cleansed my congested LIVER of toxins worked extremely well to significantly reduce brain inflammation as follows. 1. Full spectrum of B vitamins especially B1, B3, B5, B6, B9 and B12 All in active coenzyme forms 2. Methyl complex with Betaine & Folate 3. High potency Taurine 4. High potency Choline 5. High potency Inositol 6. Low potency R-ALA with d-biotin 7. High potency ALCAR 8. High potency MSM with molybdenum 9. Magnesium 10. Adaptogenic mushrooms esp Cordyceps, Reshi, Chaga & Lions mane. 11. Calcium d glucarate 12. L-Ornithine 13. Free form Amino complex - 22 Aminos 14. Chromium complex Benfotiamine in isolation was also a disaster. For me No B vitamin works well in isolation and I find the therapeutic effect when All B vitamins are taken in a single combined. Phosphstidylcholine was a disaster! What worked very well for me was High potency Choline Bitartrate for 1 cap having atleast 260mg of Elemental Choline or Cito choline. Non adaptogenic mushrooms like Turkey Tail also did not work for me and Infact aggravated autoimmunity, while adaptogenic mushrooms like Cordyceps and Reshi worked like a charm.
Thanks for your detailed reply, very helpful! I agree on the Turkey tail for my tbi- damaged son. What did you notice on the benfo or ttfd alone.... jitters? I also feel better w the B complex, but then it's not enough thiamine. TIA
What happened when you took benfotiamine? I’m having horrible symptoms some of the worst I’ve ever had from anything. Would never recommend it to anyone. Neurological symptoms like nystagmus and fatigue sharp pains in my head. This was after tons of other symptoms subsided. Scary stuff
@@getdown8990 Who asked you to have Benfotiamine in ISOLATION? NOTE: B vitamins are never metabolized properly in a fractionated/isolated way. Always have ALL B vitamins together in an Active B Complex no matter what any dumb head tells you. All B vitamins work together in a synergistic way.
appreciate you putting emphasis on the congested liver. I believe I have the same thing which prevents me to heal from chronic fatigue syndrome.. would love to hear more about how long it took you to alleviate symptoms
Thank you, very informative. I was interested in the therapy of agents to try and settle a problem with Psudotumor Cerebri, or lessen the damage done by the pressure in the head. Thanks again.
cats claw is one of the only NMDA receptor plants i know. I wonder if that is why it helps with neuroinflammation. Cistanche is a really cool plant for neurogenises
Rebecca - it is not just about pharmaceuticals, it is more about the prevailing wisdom on how to best treat health problems. Now, before you start jumping all over me, yes, indeed, drug companies have too much influence and they can make horrible mistakes (sometimes based on profit). But best practice protocols are not just based on drug company recommendations. You can say that modern medicine may have failed you, but it doesn't mean modern medicine is evil. Surely you don't believe Covid vaccines are profit making schemes by drug companies? As for Regulatory agencies, there is a need to validate, etc, new 'therapies', before they're used on the general public. (Thalidomide anyone?). A medical system based on whatever is the newest YT fad, would be a nightmare indeed.......
My list is: -Mg -MSM -Omega 3 -Zinc -Selenium -Lithium -Tryptophan -Taurine MSM is a game changer when it comes to moving out the toxins. I used to have theanine. Never tried glycine, but I have TMG. Lemon balm work pretty wel to calm downl, and chamomile also in bigger amounts.
Thank you for making this video. As someone who suffers from bipolar I, ptsd, and a tbi. I’ve been looking for all the help I can get to fight and understand neuroinflammation. Looking at the affordability of supplementations… If I could only afford some of these supplements what would be the most important?
Wow! Thank you so much. This is the best video detailing the causes and the solution to them along with your previous video. Can’t thank you enough. God bless you so much.
@@macchocolateatable That was the recommendation for me and it seems to be paying off so far. 150mg did naff all for me. Everyone is different. I bet if we were all clones, this whole getting back to health thing would be so much easier 😂
Thanks for very useful nutritional information ! I heard that Neuro inflammation is the cause of depression because all neurotransmitters get out of balance starting with Serotonin ? This information is essential for nutritional support of antidepressant therapy using SSRI's & SSNRI's or other antidepressants.
Elliot......Would you recommend Magnesium Threonate (Magtein) for neurological/brain stem issues since it crosses the blood/brain barrier.....And I believe micro dosage of Methylene Blue (4-8 mg) has been helpful for brain/cognition/depression related issues taken together with vitamin c powder (ascorbic acid).
I'm curious if this would be helpful for those of us who are Tapering off of a benzodiazepine. Certainly reducing glutermate would be a big plus. Any suggestions?
A great video! When you say be cautious about taking L-Theanine and Glycine, does that mean we should avoid them in the wake of up detoxification or something, please?
I appreciate the research info provided, I am sure these are helpful as well. However, it would be a good idea to mention your educational qualifications on home page or in video
I've had a complete neurotransmitter panel done in 2021 and getting ready to do it again this weekend. Totally screwed up results before and L.E. tells you to just show it to your doctor and get their advice-well they have no clue-your presentation here was the most valuable thing that I have listened to all year (along with your oxalate info which has been my primary diet for decades!) Have been taking many of what you posted, and just intuitively added turkey tail but did not know it crossed blood brain barrier (have neuroborreliosis), and will see where brain is when I get the results of this next neurotransmitter test. Do you do private consultations?
Hi Elliot. Do you have any info on a possible link between neuro inflammation and epilepsy? Some of these supplements you have mentioned here are great for epilepsy.
Does gut inflammation or leaky gut cause a stroke? Trying to figure out if this is what caused my stroke. My gut inflammation raises my blood pressure sky high where no medications completely lowers it to normal.
I'd love to see a video on ways people can find the root causes, a list of each along with potential trusted diagnostic tests. A guide, in a sense, one could take to their naturopath or practitioner that would allow them to help chase down the root cause for all of this. Do you believe that chronically active EBV might be a root cause?
Great question about the EBV. I have MS - is that considered a neuro inflammatory condition, a neurodegenerative condition, or simply an auto0immune disease?
Quite a few of these recommendations block nmda receptors. Wouldn’t too much of this action be a concern as isn’t it needed for memory function? Reduced nmda receptor function is implicated with Alzheimers. I’d be interested to know people’s thoughts on this.
I have vestibular neuritis and I’m definitely going to try all of the above with the exceptions of the ones with “caution”. If I can affect a change without them-if not I’ll try the BLLUE maybe I can’t thank you enough. 👍
*NEW SUB* *Question* I was diagnosed with CIRS from high levels of mold biotoxins. My neurological issues are declining. Would this protocol help me stabilize while looking for healthy place to live ? Every Dr I saw said I must get out of the mold before I can start any protocol. I’m grateful for all that you share here.
Elliot - if methylene blue is able to facilitate aerobic energy in cells wouldn’t that mean it could potentially be useful in cancer treatment? As cancer cells have undergone mutation to anaerobic processes in the absence of oxygen?
The information format gathered here is ideal to connect to food sources to create meals for specific diagnosis. There are growing numbers of health restaurants where all the individual ingredients can be chosen which allows an online ongoing nutritional clinical study.
I have a story about NAC. I suffered a mTBI (most likely from an undiagnosed form of subacute autoimmune encephalitis), 10 years ago and had multiple forms of non-epileptic seizures as a result. Nothing worked for them. I noticed that klonopin helped, which acts on GABA to counter glutamate. So I started wondering if there was a supplement that acted as something that balanced excess glutamate. I found some studies w soldiers receiving NAC it after mTBIs so I decided to give it a try. I take 600 mg 2x a day. After being on it a year, I can confirm that I have FAR fewer seizures, and the threshold for inducing them is higher than before. I'm going to look into these other supplements to see how they can help.
The one thing that will take away my suicide headaches. Cluster type. They're bad. Had them all my life but have increased in a big way since covid. Every single doctor and nurse I've been to has no care at all about helping me. They are so worried about their job and they are severely overwhelmed by volume. They have checklists the insurance companies use as employment contracts . So I read books/articles/research. I stumbled on a workout supplement that gets rid of my headaches before they get next level. I thought the operative ingredient that helped was the caffeine it contained...but different types and sources of caffeine only slightly help. Then I saw the part on this video about theanine. THEANINE! I think this does take the brain inflammation down thereby easing up on that Trigeminal nerve. The product I found is Alani pre workout powder -cosmic stardust. Ease into it if ur sensitive to caffeine. Im a fast metabolizer so it doesn't bother me. I hope this helps someone.
I took one pill of ciprofloxacin, after 40 mins , since then i'm havings attacks of numbness, tingling, musle pain and weard head pain . Can't name it headache because it's so weard . I feel something going on in my head. It's getting worse with time ...today is my sixth day since i took that pill and i have the worst attack ever . Plus i took 5 pills of flagyl then i stopped all of them . How can i stop this medication from destroying my body ?
Since I've begun listening to you guys trying to fix my vax injury nightmare, I'm taking about 25 supplement pills a day plus special foods. At one point, I wonder if it just runs my kidneys to the ground instead of helping. My CKs are elevated, which means tissue dammage and a chain reaction leads to gastroparesis, thus nutrient deficiencies and all of the symptoms associated with it. I'm living hell. I was young and healthy, athletic, ate very well and now I can't even work and going thru a day takes me everything I have.
If I supplement glycine, it has horrible effects on my brain. I don’t know if it’s because I eat a meat and leaves kinda diet or if it’s from it being a synthetic form. I have been dealing with some extreme neuro inflammation, I’ve been keeping it a bay with thiamine, 300mg of hci twice a day, I worked my way up to that from 25mg once a day. If I run out, it takes about 4-7 days for the headaches, depression and nightmares to come back. There are a lot more symptoms that are far worse than that so I don’t want to go through that ever again. I take a host of other supplements but the thiamine has been the game changer. I’m curious about taurine and possibly creatine as well as potassium.
gaba is hardly bioavailable and cannot cross the BBB unless it is leaky, I tried as good as everything... gaba at 3 grams gave me a super weird cannot breathe effect

Is being 2 year now...can doc tell how to ssri withdrawal like lexapro one for ease the withdrawal symptom and discontinue symptom? Like relapse something.....dont want be a whitemouse anymore. I hope doc can help.
GABA can have very BAD effect on some including myself, down to 100mg I get like Niacin flush & almost can't breathe, the WORSE supplement I tried. 50 mg to start i can tolerate, but I classify GABA AS a sh**t supplement. Thanks for very useful nutritional information ! I heard that Neuro inflammation is the cause of depression because all neurotransmitters get out of balance starting with Serotonin ?

I’ve had a negative reaction to both Glycine and l-theanine. TtTFD is very strong for me at very low dosage. I feel super excited, but not in a good way. Restless. However, with nutritional yeast-y brain is happy
N Acetyl Cysteine is NOT metabolized optimally for those with CBS mutations and spectrum of methylation impairments. GABA will also not have therapeutic effect if you are depleted in magnesium , B vitamins and other Aminos like Taurine.
For me personally All supplements that effectively detoxed and cleansed my congested LIVER of toxins worked extremely well to significantly reduce brain inflammation as follows.
1. Full spectrum of B vitamins especially B1, B3, B5, B6, B9 and B12 All in active coenzyme forms
2. Methyl complex with Betaine & Folate
3. High potency Taurine
4. High potency Choline
5. High potency Inositol
6. Low potency R-ALA with d-biotin
7. High potency ALCAR
8. High potency MSM with molybdenum
9. Magnesium
10. Adaptogenic mushrooms esp Cordyceps, Reshi, Chaga & Lions mane.
11. Calcium d glucarate
12. L-Ornithine
13. Free form Amino complex - 22 Aminos
14. Chromium complex
Benfotiamine in isolation was also a disaster. For me No B vitamin works well in isolation and I find the therapeutic effect when All B vitamins are taken in a single combined.
Phosphstidylcholine was a disaster! What worked very well for me was High potency Choline Bitartrate for 1 cap having atleast 260mg of Elemental Choline or Cito choline.
Non adaptogenic mushrooms like Turkey Tail also did not work for me and Infact aggravated autoimmunity, while adaptogenic mushrooms like Cordyceps and Reshi worked like a charm.
Thanks for your detailed reply, very helpful! I agree on the Turkey tail for my tbi- damaged son. What did you notice on the benfo or ttfd alone.... jitters? I also feel better w the B complex, but then it's not enough thiamine. TIA
What happened when you took benfotiamine? I’m having horrible symptoms some of the worst I’ve ever had from anything. Would never recommend it to anyone. Neurological symptoms like nystagmus and fatigue sharp pains in my head. This was after tons of other symptoms subsided. Scary stuff
@@getdown8990 Who asked you to have Benfotiamine in ISOLATION? NOTE: B vitamins are never metabolized properly in a fractionated/isolated way. Always have ALL B vitamins together in an Active B Complex no matter what any dumb head tells you. All B vitamins work together in a synergistic way.
Yep...
appreciate you putting emphasis on the congested liver. I believe I have the same thing which prevents me to heal from chronic fatigue syndrome.. would love to hear more about how long it took you to alleviate symptoms
You’re a life saver.
Thank you, very informative. I was interested in the therapy of agents to try and settle a problem with Psudotumor Cerebri, or lessen the damage done by the pressure in the head.
Thanks again.
cats claw is one of the only NMDA receptor plants i know. I wonder if that is why it helps with neuroinflammation. Cistanche is a really cool plant for neurogenises
We need more people like this so we can understand our health conditions. Doctors just push pharmaceuticals. It's about $.
YES!!! My sink is having severe issues right now from mold, and no one will believe me!
Kathryn Willette - huh?
Rebecca - it is not just about pharmaceuticals, it is more about the prevailing wisdom on how to best treat health problems.
Now, before you start jumping all over me, yes, indeed, drug companies have too much influence and they can make horrible mistakes (sometimes based on profit). But best practice protocols are not just based on drug company recommendations.
You can say that modern medicine may have failed you, but it doesn't mean modern medicine is evil. Surely you don't believe Covid vaccines are profit making schemes by drug companies?
As for Regulatory agencies, there is a need to validate, etc, new 'therapies', before they're used on the general public. (Thalidomide anyone?).
A medical system based on whatever is the newest YT fad, would be a nightmare indeed.......
Yes!
I think that's called JOB SECURITY...if they cure your problem, they lose a patient 🤔
There are quite a few papers discussing Palmitoylethanolamide and neuro inflammation on the NIH.
You have forgotten magnesium + B6, which is needed to convert the glutamate into GABA.
Feel like this is important.
My list is:
-Mg
-MSM
-Omega 3
-Zinc
-Selenium
-Lithium
-Tryptophan
-Taurine
MSM is a game changer when it comes to moving out the toxins.
I used to have theanine. Never tried glycine, but I have TMG.
Lemon balm work pretty wel to calm downl, and chamomile also in bigger amounts.
Thank you for making this video. As someone who suffers from bipolar I, ptsd, and a tbi. I’ve been looking for all the help I can get to fight and understand neuroinflammation.
Looking at the affordability of supplementations… If I could only afford some of these supplements what would be the most important?
Wow! Thank you so much. This is the best video detailing the causes and the solution to them along with your previous video. Can’t thank you enough. God bless you so much.
Thank you so much for this, Elliott. I'm taking 600mg of ttfd like you suggested. Only when I got to that dose did my energy come back.
I just started at 100mg...I thought that you didn't need high doses of ttfd unlike other forms of thiamine.
lol 600mg of ttfd is insane you need 150 max
@@Ravenswhisper Thanks for the info! Luckily I'm taking all those.
@@joeyconvery2055 So did I. Guess I needed more as 100mg did nothing for me, but I guess for others that would probably be sufficient.
@@macchocolateatable That was the recommendation for me and it seems to be paying off so far. 150mg did naff all for me. Everyone is different. I bet if we were all clones, this whole getting back to health thing would be so much easier 😂
Excellent presentation as always !! So so informative, THANK YOU !!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I am very thankful that I found your channel.
It's wonderful that you are back. Amazing research as always.
Thanks for very useful nutritional information ! I heard that Neuro inflammation is the cause of depression because all neurotransmitters get out of balance starting with Serotonin ? This information is essential for nutritional support of antidepressant therapy using SSRI's & SSNRI's or other antidepressants.
Elliot......Would you recommend Magnesium Threonate (Magtein) for neurological/brain stem issues since it crosses the blood/brain barrier.....And I believe micro dosage of Methylene Blue
(4-8 mg) has been helpful for brain/cognition/depression related issues taken together with vitamin c powder (ascorbic acid).
Great video. What is your opinion about DMSO as an anti inflammatory for the brain when IV infused?
from my understanding there is a lot of conflicting info on dmso
I'm curious if this would be helpful for those of us who are Tapering off of a benzodiazepine. Certainly reducing glutermate would be a big plus. Any suggestions?
Came here for this, did you try any of them?
L-Theanine in 200 mg dose sometimes helps me fall asleep but 400 mg will cause me to have crazy dreams!
😂😂😂
Can you try a 250mg dose?
A great video! When you say be cautious about taking L-Theanine and Glycine, does that mean we should avoid them in the wake of up detoxification or something, please?
Glycine can cause excitatory is some people. Which means it can kill neurons.
@@Lovescoffeeandteawhat about l theanine?
Thank you so much for sharing, your knowledge is amazing. So grateful to you for all you do
I appreciate the research info provided, I am sure these are helpful as well. However, it would be a good idea to mention your educational qualifications on home page or in video
I've had a complete neurotransmitter panel done in 2021 and getting ready to do it again this weekend. Totally screwed up results before and L.E. tells you to just show it to your doctor and get their advice-well they have no clue-your presentation here was the most valuable thing that I have listened to all year (along with your oxalate info which has been my primary diet for decades!) Have been taking many of what you posted, and just intuitively added turkey tail but did not know it crossed blood brain barrier (have neuroborreliosis), and will see where brain is when I get the results of this next neurotransmitter test. Do you do private consultations?
Do you have a protocol for healing post stroke? Not sure if my leaky gut and Oxalate issue caused my stroke.
Did you take the jab
Your leaking gut is causing both, heal the gut by going KETO and get a variety of pro & prebiotics into you.
Hi Elliot. Do you have any info on a possible link between neuro inflammation and epilepsy? Some of these supplements you have mentioned here are great for epilepsy.
Does gut inflammation or leaky gut cause a stroke? Trying to figure out if this is what caused my stroke. My gut inflammation raises my blood pressure sky high where no medications completely lowers it to normal.
Yes it sure does.
Thanks so much for this very helpful info, it's very appreciated.
I'd love to see a video on ways people can find the root causes, a list of each along with potential trusted diagnostic tests. A guide, in a sense, one could take to their naturopath or practitioner that would allow them to help chase down the root cause for all of this.
Do you believe that chronically active EBV might be a root cause?
Great question about the EBV. I have MS - is that considered a neuro inflammatory condition, a neurodegenerative condition, or simply an auto0immune disease?
Quite a few of these recommendations block nmda receptors. Wouldn’t too much of this action be a concern as isn’t it needed for memory function? Reduced nmda receptor function is implicated with Alzheimers. I’d be interested to know people’s thoughts on this.
Ty so much. I have MS what would you suggest for that?
I have vestibular neuritis and I’m definitely going to try all of the above with the exceptions of the ones with “caution”. If I can affect a change without them-if not I’ll try the BLLUE maybe I can’t thank you enough. 👍
ttfd vs benfotiamine? Could you shine some light on this? Does benfotiamine cross the brain barrier as well?
Amazing presentation!
Much appreciated!👍👍👍
Thank you for being so smart
*NEW SUB* *Question* I was diagnosed with CIRS from high levels of mold biotoxins. My neurological issues are declining. Would this protocol help me stabilize while looking for healthy place to live ? Every Dr I saw said I must get out of the mold before I can start any protocol. I’m grateful for all that you share here.
Excellent info Elliot thank you
An amazing story of courage and growth. What a gift to encounter this soul even if from a distance. Great channel!
Please do something on methylene blue!
Elliot - if methylene blue is able to facilitate aerobic energy in cells wouldn’t that mean it could potentially be useful in cancer treatment? As cancer cells have undergone mutation to anaerobic processes in the absence of oxygen?
Can you also look Cicstus incantus, esp for where there is viruses affecting the brain.
Well done friend. If you could go into what forms of magnesium please. Threonate?
The information format gathered here is ideal to connect to food sources to create meals for specific diagnosis. There are growing numbers of health restaurants where all the individual ingredients can be chosen which allows an online ongoing nutritional clinical study.
can you make a video about recovery from ssris?
🙏🙏Thanks dr Elliot. For very informative video 👌
Talk about CIPROFLOXACIN PLEASE !!!
Does melatonin help brain function,or does it has a antioxidant effect on brain?
It is good for sleep and as anti-oxidant for the grain. So, yes.
And very helpful for covid or post-vax
Pubmed has some great studies on it.
I have a story about NAC.
I suffered a mTBI (most likely from an undiagnosed form of subacute autoimmune encephalitis), 10 years ago and had multiple forms of non-epileptic seizures as a result. Nothing worked for them. I noticed that klonopin helped, which acts on GABA to counter glutamate. So I started wondering if there was a supplement that acted as something that balanced excess glutamate.
I found some studies w soldiers receiving NAC it after mTBIs so I decided to give it a try. I take 600 mg 2x a day. After being on it a year, I can confirm that I have FAR fewer seizures, and the threshold for inducing them is higher than before. I'm going to look into these other supplements to see how they can help.
The one thing that will take away my suicide headaches. Cluster type. They're bad. Had them all my life but have increased in a big way since covid. Every single doctor and nurse I've been to has no care at all about helping me. They are so worried about their job and they are severely overwhelmed by volume. They have checklists the insurance companies use as employment contracts . So I read books/articles/research. I stumbled on a workout supplement that gets rid of my headaches before they get next level. I thought the operative ingredient that helped was the caffeine it contained...but different types and sources of caffeine only slightly help. Then I saw the part on this video about theanine. THEANINE! I think this does take the brain inflammation down thereby easing up on that Trigeminal nerve. The product I found is Alani pre workout powder -cosmic stardust. Ease into it if ur sensitive to caffeine. Im a fast metabolizer so it doesn't bother me. I hope this helps someone.
Great information, thank you!
Thank you , wished I had this years ago .
I took one pill of ciprofloxacin, after 40 mins , since then i'm havings attacks of numbness, tingling, musle pain and weard head pain . Can't name it headache because it's so weard . I feel something going on in my head. It's getting worse with time ...today is my sixth day since i took that pill and i have the worst attack ever . Plus i took 5 pills of flagyl then i stopped all of them .
How can i stop this medication from destroying my body ?
Does methylene blue goes against supplementing nitric oxide?
Since I've begun listening to you guys trying to fix my vax injury nightmare, I'm taking about 25 supplement pills a day plus special foods. At one point, I wonder if it just runs my kidneys to the ground instead of helping. My CKs are elevated, which means tissue dammage and a chain reaction leads to gastroparesis, thus nutrient deficiencies and all of the symptoms associated with it. I'm living hell. I was young and healthy, athletic, ate very well and now I can't even work and going thru a day takes me everything I have.
I am really sorry. How are you now?
What about NACET Glycinate? It seems to work about 20 times better than NAC alone.
@Elliot Can you take all of the supplements at one time or you need to taken several and if do which ones? Thanks for replying 😊
If I supplement glycine, it has horrible effects on my brain. I don’t know if it’s because I eat a meat and leaves kinda diet or if it’s from it being a synthetic form. I have been dealing with some extreme neuro inflammation, I’ve been keeping it a bay with thiamine, 300mg of hci twice a day, I worked my way up to that from 25mg once a day. If I run out, it takes about 4-7 days for the headaches, depression and nightmares to come back. There are a lot more symptoms that are far worse than that so I don’t want to go through that ever again. I take a host of other supplements but the thiamine has been the game changer. I’m curious about taurine and possibly creatine as well as potassium.
gaba is hardly bioavailable and cannot cross the BBB unless it is leaky, I tried as good as everything... gaba at 3 grams gave me a super weird cannot breathe effect
My husband has ALS what would you suggest
Thanks
I suffer from lexapro 5mg generic one, amd trigger pangasritis gasritis...my Psychiatrist didint hell me to taper off. Is being 2 year now...can doc tell how to ssri withdrawal like lexapro one for ease the withdrawal symptom and discontinue symptom? Like relapse something.....dont want be a whitemouse anymore. I hope doc can help.
Great Video. There are a lot of supplements mentioned by you, could you recommend best Anti neuroinflammation supplement for Autistic person.
Hi very interesting thanks - is there any evidence that any of these supplements and doses could be too much of taken together?
Hey Elliot, do you have (or can you make) a video that deals with prostate cancer? Thanks a lot, Elliot!
What are the signs and symptoms of L-Theanine toxicity again?
I'm confused: Isn't NO2 supposed to be beneficial?
This is incredible!!!!😃✨👏💚
But what about the restoration of the gut?
KETO DIET and a variety of pre+probiotics. A tablespoon of Kefir in your coffee in the mornings, kimchi and sauerkraut etc.
What do you think about nitric oxide supplements? Is nitric oxide good or bad for our brain?
Amazing video as always!
Thank you!
If RA is the cause of the inflamation, exhaustion, depression... what is.known to be most effective, please?
Antibiotics or whatever antimicrobial for what already attacked your joints.
do you worry about Lions Mane DHT lowering effect??
wow thank you this is so helpful with long covid
GABA can have very BAD effect on some including myself, down to 100mg I get like Niacin flush & almost can't breathe, the WORSE supplement I tried.
50 mg to start i can tolerate, but I classify GABA AS a sh**t supplement.
