My naturopoath just started me on IG 26 DF from Xymogen (hyperimmune chicken egg). She is concerned about EBV lingering and what she says is too low cholesterol (mine is 130 with normal range 100-190).

I've researched about the product and hyperimmune chicken egg, but it confuses me. I am limited in what I can take for EBV due to kidney issues, so I thought this is to enhance immune system to fight it? Also, I read where the product can lower cholesterol.

Anyone have experience with this one? It's first I have heard of it.

My doctor talks very highly of it but more so that like you say it’s for immune enhancing as they’ve pumped the chickens full of immune enhancers. Never heard of it being used to higher cholesterol. Yours seems normal to me too, not to low. Usually doctors worry about it being high.

Just my opinion. 😊

Savedbygrace - your opinion is a much more informed one than mine, so thanks. I have felt worse since starting it yesterday, so I'm thinking it might cause herx.

I think it makes sense that you might feel worse either from herxing or if you have autoimmune involvement, if you have amped up your immune system.

Low cholesterol absolutely causes health problems - depression, anxiety, agitation, vitamin D deficiency, skin issues, brain cell health decline, and increased cancer risk are the ones I've read about. My partner and a good friend both have had health difficulties as a result of low cholesterol. My partner's was 125 when the worst symptoms were occurring. But yes, you rarely hear about it being a problem, because high cholesterol is so much more common.

saraeli - when your partner had cholesterol at 125, do you know if the normal was 100-199? I have seen different numbers. My vitamin D is 57, but I am supplementing. I'm just confused on what is low cholesterol considered if your number is in norms. Not doubting you as the naturo also said it was too low.

But I am experiencing most of the symptoms you listed of low cholesterol. And I've been spaced out since taking a low doses of the hyperimmune egg.

You're absolutely right to ask about the reference range! The results were given to us with no lower limit to the reference range, just that 200+ was high, as a result of mainstream PCP check-ups. Me poking around online is the only reason we figured out that low cholesterol can cause symptoms. Sorry I don't have better information for you. I can say that my partner felt much better after supplementing omega 3s and eating a lot more coconut oil and olive oil.
