One of my family members is very anti-Trump (she thinks he is the anti-Christ), pro-Biden (kinda, these days), and very much pro-"vaccine."
So I've been telling her I've been taking herbal supplements and 100's year old medication like methylene blue and, licorice, casuticum, passionflower, etc. for my narcolepsy.
And I've been really drilling in the term "guinea pig" as to what I'm doing to my body.
This is all true, mind you, because I intend to find a treatment for my narcolepsy that doesn't cost my insurance $5700 every month.
So I've been saying "Before I recommend anything to anyone, I guinea pig myself so I know its safe. I'm very methodical and increase doses until I show symptoms, and then weigh the symptoms with any noticeable benefits."
I've had this conversation with her about four times now, and she always says the same thing: "I wish you wouldn't experiment on yourself like that, you don't know what these drugs can do to you."
We don't bring up the clot shot, so I have yet to throw that back in her face when it comes to a mRNA experimental drug that has only been around less than two years.
The ones I'm taking have been around either since the late 1800's or from the start of human history. The effects are very well documented, if you're willing to look through early 1900's manuscripts. The FDA bans modern studies on any herbal supplements thanks to Big Pharma's lobbying.
Yup... I think I'm game-set-match for some major KEKs if she ever presses into it.
But... I guess she may not, considering I've already verifiably proven my narcolepsy was likely from the meningitis vaccine and exacerbated by the H1N1 vaccine. She gets real quiet, now, when I bring it up...

The Gardasil vaccine, manufactured by Merck & Co., was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in 2006 for use in preventing infection from only a few of the hundreds of types of human papillomavirus (HPV). Since hitting the market, however, thousands of adolescents and adults have reported serious and disabling Gardasil side effects after receiving the HPV vaccine. The most prominent among these side effects is postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS).

But the results do not fully explain the Pandemrix mystery, because other flu vaccines contained the same proteins but did not lead to a spike in narcolepsy cases.
Damned liars.
Pandemrix was simply the only one which enough stink was raised about it to get it on the books. All H1N1 vaccines saw an uptick in narcolepsy, but the books have been well doctored since 2019 and onwards. Some of my old go-to sources have been scrubbed, and they even tried to rewrite history by saying it wasn't Pandemrix, but the additive AS03 in it.
Bullshit, if H1N1 looks like the wakefulness neuropeptide orexin, it would have happened either way. The bastards trained the immune system to attack orexin in the body as well as the cells in the brain that make it. They even said so back in 2017.

These observations indicate that vaccine-associated narcolepsy is not due solely to the characteristics of the adjuvant.
Of course, that's probably because they tried to remove stigma of the AS03 adjuvant since, you know, they're putting it in the clot shots.

Biological: SARS-CoV-2 adjuvanted recombinant protein vaccine, monovalent (D614)-AS03, Dosage A
Most people shut up with their "it's absolutely safe, they know what they're doing" rhetoric after I tell them to look up Pandemrix.
They get even more worried when I mention that no matter which way you cut the Pandemrix causes narcolepsy debate, both sides prove that vaccines cause it.
-
If it wasn't AS03, then vaccines by their very nature can cause narcolepsy.
-
If it was AS03, then why the hell are they putting it in the Covid shots?
Anyway, I guess I've got that card in my back pocket.
Feel free to point out these two well-documented vaccines in your fight against the Pharmaceutical Tyranny Campaign!
"I've had this conversation with her about four times now, and she always says the same thing: "I wish you wouldn't experiment on yourself like that, you don't know what these drugs can do to you."
So...your friend is willing to disregard over 100 yrs of cheap, mostly natural, TRUE, SAFE, and PROVEN effective health-science, treatments for truly harmful, experimental, non effective pseudo-science?!
See, this is why a lot of us anons have little faith left in humanity.
Edit:
OP, have you thought about, or looked into seeing an internist?
Not sure on the internist, but I have looked into homeopathic therapists.
I can't say any in my area look reputable enough to me to go all out on it, but my trail-and-error isn't panning out like I hoped.
I'm trying to figure out how to source madrake/madragora in order to grow it, but since it is a potent sedative it is not exactly the "easiest" thing to acquire.
Also, I'm pretty sure I've inherited my grandmother's brown thumb (if she touches a green pepper or cucumber plant it withers and dies, they are allergic to her, go figure), so growing it may be a challenge of its own.
I'll ask around and do some searches for an internist and see what that's all about.
I've already seen narcolepsy specialists and they all tell me the same thing: "continue taking this really expensive and highly controlled medication that only a single pharmacy in the US has a monopoly on and can dispense it."
Of course, they don't say it that way, but that's what they mean.
Functional medicine doctor?
