The DSM 5 is a set of labels.​

They are not tests for biochemical symptoms.

They are not about the function of the brain.

They are about, the outside, not the inside.

They are not measurements!​

They are about people's opinions on what is wrong with people put into categories.

Thats me, all of that. I do not know if I have autism or aspergers, I just suspect its possible. I don't want the label anyway.
Likely, if you were born with these extra layers of issues you are an old soul learning difficult things which makes you all the more amazing.

I actually just spent last two months trying to get to the bottom of my LPR (silent reflux) with a specialist at Mayo. Glad the insurance covered all but 900 of it, was 44K. Had a schatzki stricture dilated and EoE which I need to control inflammation and acid. So, instead of Pepcid AC, I'm cutting out dairy, and using diet solutions like low fodmaps, vinegar water for two weeks.

I seriously think its about autoimmune issues due to sensitivities. I did have leaky gut a few years ago, so for three months I went on a diet of nothing but roast beef, apples and avocados and it fixed it.

The real answer is to take B complex and B12 with the methylfolate, D, and cut out dairy, most gluten, drink a tea called digestive awakening tea with slippery elm, and everything starts healing again. Anyway, low fodmaps diet, paying attention to eating a lot more soluble fiber foods (foods like cucumber, sweet potato) vs non soluble fiber (brocolli, beans) which cause more issues. Seeking health brand probiotic in the fridge door for any stomach issue is good too. I prefer to try the food pharmacy over prescriptions always. I'm supposed to take blood pressure meds, but instead I take healthy heart and garlic to control it. All the prescriptions can be tainted with things that make you worse off than the actual issue and I do not trust most prescriptions unless they've been on the market for a decade or longer and I've read the entire warning label.

Dry heaving is what I had in 2022.

There was no acidic cause.

It was all mental.

I could not eat and I jumped in and out of bed 12 times an hour and even more.

I yelled at my mom "The meds are not working." twice because she would not listen to me. She just stares at you.

The psychiatrist would not give me anything, but the physician gave me antiacids.

That worked to stop the anxiety a little but I could not eat certain things.

I would vomit a lot in 2013 - after eating because the preservatives agitated me, it was that the anxiety made me do it, I'm not allergic to anything.

Anxiety makes me vomit and even when I do not eat and I cannot eat.

In November 2022, I went to the peak for 8 days and they gave me these;

oxcarbazepin - partial seizures anticonvulsant
atomoxetine - ADHD norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors
mirtazapine - tetracyclic antidepressants
aripiprazole - schizophrenia, mania associated with bipolar I disorder, irritability associated with an autism spectrum disorder, disjunctive therapy in major depressive disorder, and Tourette syndrome.

The Mayo Clinic video Says 7 types of ADD exist. (never been to that hospital)

This is over-activity and under-activity,

But it is all a matter of function, of regulation, of back and forth, on and off, stop and go. In the network of interlocking systems.

I have hypothyroidism. I took growth hormones when 12. I take levothyroxine.

-

They do not know what is happening in the chemistry of the biology.

In most cases, the doctors have dumb ideas about what to do, they are not real doctors. We do not have a health system we have a disease system. The poor get the worst treatment. Curable things remain uncured because basic knowledge is not there.

Detox is not done they just give you pharmaceuticals, they do not give you minerals they give you antibiotics. It is all fucked up.

And the number of doctors/nurses is too low. n one trusts doctors no more because of Fauci.

Elon Musk said: my pronouns are "Prosecute Fauci".

At least 1 percent of vaccines lead to critical injuries because of human error.

Bill Nye was at the March for Science. Because Trump got elected but F*** - Trump was not going to let the Taliban take over and Biden did. Now women no longer have rights there. But of course: Orange Man Bad.

The March for Science happened because people knew that Covid would make people lose FAITH in SCIENCE Fauchi said.

But why have "faith" in science? Because low IQ people cannot do science they need experts to tell them the truth. Like that vaccines works 100% and shit.

Why have faith in Science? Because it is a control mechanism?

People get rich from drugs. Selling them to poor people who have low IQs and buy what their doctor tells them to. Like lead paint in baby formula. Talcume poder.

No, do not lose faith in science because we will lose money.

Do not vote for Trump because he is Anti Science i.e. Fuck poor people because they have no college degrees. And so the media is like look how angry and mean Trump is. But look at how nice Biden is because he told us blocking flights from China was racist. Trump is racist because he is blocking Chinese flights Biden said. Yet the Taliban are the good guys? Because Trump is anti-climate change/science? I don't understand?

Oh, no, on all of those different meds, and seems wild, and I bet its all about thyroid too. Those doctors are just making trial and error guesses, so dangerous really.

If you have thyroid issues, you can have ALL kinds of wild symptoms, and it can make you go back and forth like that. Its probably a big factor because thats what regulates everything.

I did go on levothyroxine for a bit for my hypothyroidism, but didn't like the side effects and stopped. Tried Armour thyroid instead and developed allergy to the pork thyroid in it. Mine goes back and forth between too much and too little. Was on the Hashimotos 911 facebook page for a while.


Yep, my issue was if I ate even two bites of white meat chicken it wouldn't go down, caused a foam like acid to nearly block my breathing and passages because it wouldn't go down. Gaviscon advanced only worked if I took it before I had chicken. Anyway, not a pleasant subject, but digestive issues and anxieties are partners. Maybe its a sensitivity and not an allergy to foods though. Anyway, diet is probably a better option than most meds.
I will keep you in my heart and send healing energy.

Here is what I wanted to add about T cells attacking things from thyroid imbalances:
the autoimmune system is ruled by T cells.

Its easy to figure out which one is dominant, just buy echinacea tea and green tea.
Drink green tea on day one of the test and notice if it makes you feel better or worse.
Wait a day. Drink Echinacea tea and note if it makes you feel better or worse.
This will tell you if you have an imbalance of T1 or T2. Drink more of the things that improve how you feel and avoid the list of things below that make you feel worse. It can change! So you can repeat that test every five years or so.

How do I tell if my immune system is imbalanced?


A Th1/Th2 Cytokine blood panel is the best way for a person to find out which side of their immune system is dominant. Alternatively, a person can also participate in a supplement challenge, where they take a nutritional supplement that stimulates Th1 for a few days and then switch to a supplement that stimulates Th2 for a few days, while noting the effect this has on their symptoms. (Update: there are some newer tests that can establish Th 1 versus Th2 dominance, discussed in the comments on this post)

What is the protocol for balancing the immune system?

Dr. Kharrazian is the practitioner who has developed the protocol for treating autoimmune disease by balancing Th1 and Th2. If Th1 is dominant, he will use Th2 stimulating compounds to raise the level of Th2, and vice versa. In addition, he uses other vitamins and compounds that are known to modulate the balance between Th1 and Th2. His view is that by balancing Th1 and Th2, the autoimmune attack is lessened and the body is able to function closer to normal. He also places his patients on an autoimmune gut-repair diet (which is very similar to the autoimmune protocol). Many people have been helped by using this protocol for the treatment of Hashimoto’s disease.

That being said, balancing the immune system for those with autoimmune disease is still tricky business and baffles even the most skilled practitioners. There are many people who have had a negative experience using this type of treatment, most likely because it is easy to accidentally stimulate their dominant pathway, causing the autoimmune attack to worsen. The Th1/Th2 stimulating compounds are as follows:

TH1 stimulating compounds:

Astragalus
Echinacea
Medicinal Mushrooms (Maitake and Beta-Glucan are common)
Glycyrrhiza (found in licorice)
Melissa Oficinalis (Lemon balm)
Panax Ginseng
Chlorella
Grape Seed Extract

TH2 stimulating compounds:

Caffeine
Green Tea Extract
Pine Bark Extract
White Willow Bark
Lycopene (found in tomatoes and other red fruits excluding strawberries and cherries)
Resveratrol (found in grape skin, sprouted peanuts, and cocoa)
Pycnogenol (found in the extract of the French maritime pine bark and apples)
Curcumin (found in turmeric)
Genistin (found in soybeans)
Quercitin (a flavanoid found in many fruits and vegetables, such as onions, berries and kale)

Why is it important to know about these compounds?

As you can see, many items on the list are common and are used by many people on a regular basis. Echinacea, for example, is a common herbal cold and flu remedy, but it can cause someone with a Th1 dominant condition to worsen. Likewise, a person with a Th2 dominant condition that is drinking a few cups of coffee everyday could be unintentionally stimulating the already dominant Th2 pathway. The opposite could be true – a Th1 dominant person may benefit from the consumption of caffeine, although this gets a little messy when you add a person’s adrenal status to the mix (caffeine may help them if they have low cortisol, but they could still be Th2 dominant and have worsening autoimmune symptoms from it).

If you suffer from an autoimmune disease, chances are you are going to be sensitive to supplements that effect the immune system. Just knowing how powerful these compounds are is useful information even if you are not going to attempt to use them to balance your levels of Th1 and Th2.

Is there a safer way to balance Th1 and Th2?

Playing with the balance of Th1 and Th2 is tricky and some people do not do well with it, even under the care of a practitioner. Using vitamins and nutrients that naturally modulate the balance between Th1 and Th2 or support T-regulatory cell function is much less risky than taking supplements that directly stimulate either one. The following compounds have been shown in studies to do this:

TH1 and TH2 modulating compounds:

Probiotics (found in fermented foods like kimchi, saurkraut, yogurt, kombucha, kefir as well as supplements)

Vitamin A (found in liver and cod liver oil as well as butter and eggs from pastured animals)
Vitamin E (found in red palm oil, pastured egg yolks, avocados, as well as nuts and seeds)
Colostrom (a mother’s first milk that is available in supplement form)

T-regulatory supporting compounds:
Vitamin D (obtained by sunbathing, also found in liver, cod liver oil, sardines, raw dairy and pastured eggs)
EPA and DHA (found in fatty cold-water fish such as salmon, sardines and mackerel as well as in pastured meats and eggs in smaller quantities)

In conclusion, I believe that it is good for autoimmune patients to know which compounds stimulate Th1 and Th2 because of how they can better or worsen the progression of disease. Knowing one’s Th1 or Th2 dominance and treating with supplements to achieve balance can be helpful to some, but I don’t believe that is the best and safest approach for everyone. If you do decide to go this route, make sure to enlist the help of a practitioner who is skilled at using this treatment for autoimmune disease. A safer alternative is to focus on compounds that have been shown to modulate the immune system, in addition to implementing other strategies that have been shown to help autoimmune disease.

Your thyroid uses iodine to make thyroid hormones, which control the rate of heartbeats, digestion and other functions. Without enough iodine, your thyroid gland works harder. It can become swollen or enlarged (goiter). Sometimes the gland can't make enough thyroid hormones – a condition called hypothyroidism.

Most iodine is not concentrated.

It will not absorb into the system. Need transporters.

Magnesium cream for the skin is important because supplements do not absorb in the intestine. Magnesium relaxes the muscles. Calcium tightens them.

Calcium cannot be absorbed in pill form either.

Ok, Kelp might be the key for the iodine then. Cool, cool. Heart space stuff. Signing off.
