You can instead take EsterC it's gentler on the GI tract. Thanks, Roxanne! I have taken Ester-C for many years, but never considered if it had the same bioavailability as ascorbic acid until the COVID-19 pandemic and reading the document shared by slacker. ;) Hi Raj: I see, I misunderstood the ques...

There are suggestions on supplements that may help with prevention. However, some of these supplements have the potential to make things worse if one is infected. Thank you, slacker, for the document you shared. Very interesting and helpful! I have a question about vitamin C. Do you know if calcium...

Just wanted to create a new post as the old one is gargantuan. I am struggling trying to keep my hormones at Bredesen's levels. I have no problem increasing the dosages except that Progesterone increases my blood sugar. I started to take Testosterone and my pp blood sugars increased substantially. M...

Went to a school of well-to-do children with sufficient nutrition and no worries that allowed these children to do well. I li...

If you have another done, with your life style, I bet it will be good. It would give you peace of mind. If not, that is also knowledge, and you use it to figure out what to do next. And yes, I turn 60 next month. Hi Mike: Yes, you are right, I'm seriously considering it. And as you say, it might be...

The no-carb stew plus some macadamia nuts later actually seemed to settle my stomach. My blood sugars back up to 115 this morning though ketones still over 5. Weight up to 201.
