Plan F HD,if I could do over probably plan N. Have to pay own hosp bills,as you get older and sicker becomes a pain. Hosp billing is a mess. For instance my last EOB from Cigna is 28 pages for the...

Trying. Happy is fine, healthy questionable. I may have mentioned it. Pacemaker aug 28th, wound infection, I told them to double clean me,they must not have listened. Clindamycin fixed the wound,but...

Old Hat' Nah,modern medicine. First pacemaker installed 1958, before that if you had a heart block,in big trouble. Like I said the actual surgery itself was a nothing burger,home next day, Wife heart...

Thanks all,the RBBB is not a problem. But it was a for shadow of conduction problems. My sinus node is firing well,the conduction block is in the AV node,so have a 2 lead PM. One other weird thing is...
Thanks Old Hat. I guess not much they can do until they can get a proper diagnosis. Looks like I have a major electrical conduction problem 2017 right bundle branch block,still have that. Who knows...
Out of the blue. Started to feel funny in my head about Aug 9th,looked at pulse on oximeter,going flatline,huh what. Go to Er Aug 14,stayed all day it had stopped,they never could see on EKG for 7...

Old Hat Something like that happened,and she takes care of her teeth. Now has to take antibiotics before a procedure. oldmike...
Thanks all, did a cardio rehab walk with her today,no problem. I probably need more cardio rehab than she does. I am sure I cannot run for 2-3 hours straight, like I did in the Army,54 years ago. LOL...
Thanks Straydog: Well she had no symptoms that alarm doctors,such as shortness of breath,or leg swelling. I know she had seemed to get more tired,over the past year,but that is about it. Otherwise...
Quincy. She has no joint problems. Again: Thanks all for your wishes. oldmike PS:Laurie and Death Vader also thank you....
Frigging amazing. Home,doing good. oldmike...

Many new people go to facebook,reddit. Don't believe they quite understand the value of an old style forum where topics don't get buried in 2 hours. I also detect a standard of care mafia. oldmike...
FYI. Too late for many here but if you have kids you might be able to see if anything is going on. oldmike...
Don't know too much yet but a few are having some success with TUDCA, a secondary bile acid. Secondary bile acids are low due to dysbiosis,which is a secondary effect from all the generated ROS, in...

Will try and make this as simple as I can for UC and diversion colitis. IMO: FACT: Butyrate is the main colonocyte fuel. No ifs ands or butts. Butyrate is made by fermentation of fermentable/soluble...
Read my thread Is UC an energy deficiency disease. IMO: Its not the meat per se. Its the ketones in the blood,and the lack of butyrate in the stool. Meat diet means no veggies with...
I am over 70 I made it. Hard stool blew a hole in rectum,went septic,emergency surgery at 1 AM. By that time kidneys were at 11%,WBC 40K,big pus pocket behind kidney,poo sprayed into body cavity. I...
BG: My dad grew up in Monessen. Anyhow. D-BHB exogenous ketone supplement you don't need to be on a keto diet,but many do well on keto or carnivore. I was not on keto. To understand everything see my...
Conquer:Yes that brand will work,seems to be sold out on that site. I took Vitacost brand on amazon USA, 8 grams of sodium BHB/day,for diversion colitis. The sticks are also on amazon USA. At the...
Banana, I mean Bacon. We have known each other on here a long time. Give D-BHB a shot. Make sure your adequate in Zn,Cu,Se,Mn, adequate not over dosed. Read my UC Energy Deficiency Disease. thread....
Clo: Believe I read somewhere probably never find it again. Anyhow chew the vitamin D caps, this mixes the D with saliva and digestive enzymes for better absorption, then spit out the cap. Also might...
Conquer. You can get sodium or mixed salt BHB Amazon Vitacost. Pure brand potassium D-BHB. Shift real ketones. I can't recommend Bulk Supplements brand of BHB. Just keep in mind any of these salts...
Clo: How long did you take that much zinc,if copper depleted you might need 1-2 mg day. SOD1 is zn-cu SOD. Your Dr let you take that much zinc. Anyhow may also need selenium and manganese,adequate...
CLO Whoa, 100mg is way to much zinc, your going to deplete copper. 25mg probably safe,15mg probably enough. oldmike...
Conquer Interesting the coq10 did something by itself. No way doing another surgery. Besides that as far as I can tell UC is totally gone and have 95+% colon left. Colon and stoma work perfect,that's...
Conquer: I almost answered this post on reddit,of course did not know it was you. I don't try an help people on reddit much anymore,since there are to many that have no idea what they are talking...
Wax. I looked up an old post, took mannose prior to 2014,did not work. . oldmike...
10K reads. Interesting. I will say I am not sure if Bulk Supplements BHB works properly. Taste like BHB,but I question it. ALERT: Not 100 % sure but any BHB you buy should say contains say D-BHB. The...
Just saw your post. 4-8 grams/day oral fixed me up real fast. Sodium BHB from amazon. Also used C8 MCT oil before I started the BHB. I also took 1 gram acetyl l carnitine and 200 mg COQ10,whic...
Can't tell about the pic. His name comes up Jordan_Van. Oldmikie...
Also go to reddit in the search box type in Van Jordan,then click on people. Then click on the first one that comes up. Then put curser on one of his comments in black not blue. You may be able to...
Here is his group on reddit. Also be aware there is no DHLA on the market at this time,from any company. I assume you can contact him by chat request. I'am in that group also. r/UC_Community Oldmike...
Hi Chemist. As I said in the first post in this thread, don't know if it will work for UC. Anyhow, I started with MCT C8 oil,then switched over to BHB salts. Not both at the same time. Also start...
Two year Stomaversary today. So bumping my thread. Happy Vet's Day. oldmike/old vet...
Butyrate Paradox perhaps a picture will help in understanding,what is going on in the crypts.Not just me trying to explain what is really going on,...
Going off on a tangent. I notice that people on facebook and some on reddit are using Qing-Dai/Indigo with success for UC,helping some but not all. One of the ways it works is activating the Ahr....
From this it would seem it has no effect. I believe ketones/BHB are most important. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33745622/ This person has looked into it a bit more...
