Has fluid in his lungs. Fever over 100. Oxygen was in the 60s at home & got up to 90s with oxygen in the ER. They think the appendix is infected too.
As much as we disagree, he is the one who taught me to question everything & look on both (all) sides of every issue to figure out what both sides were refusing to discuss.
He will likely be healed up here soon, really my mother & family could use strength to care for him as he recovers. He hit his head a few weeks ago & hasn't quite been the same... Though still as stubborn as ever 😆
When it is time for him to go, it is his time. The family could really just use some support & blessings. Likely everyone in this board could use more during these times too.
Thank you very much! He was stable late last night & we were just waiting to see how he is doing this morning (my wife should be there soon & works at the hospital too).
He was on antibiotics & had some diuretic added to his I when I left to get home & rest.
It ended up being a gal bladder issue once the contrast CT scan came back. That combined with congestive heart failure (ie water/fluid around the heart) & fluid in his lungs all just ended up giving him a very hard time moving & responding.
I have found that dandelion (IIRC) can help with water retention. On a side note, the dandelion root seemed to help ADD/ADHD symptoms too, so it is something I should probably throw into my salads & cultivate to my neighbors dismay LOL
Would love more info if you have some available & appreciate your help.
First thing to note is that phytochemicals have low bioavailability, using nano or liposomal formulations greatly enhance their clinical effects.
1. Phytochemicals with Combined Properties
A. Silymarin
B. Berberine
C. Curcumin
D. Green Tea Polyphenols (EGCG)
E. Gingerol
2. Non-Phytochemical Supplements with Similar Properties
A. Taurine
B. N-Acetylcysteine (NAC)
C. Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA)
D. Vitamin E
Thank you so much! Where have you found all of this great information? Is there a place I can more easily find great information like this?
If you end up considering one or some of these phytochemicals and want a highly bioavailable brand just let me know, I also tend to reach out to companies like this and ask for their pharmacokinetic data.
Maybe I can make a site which will collate this information. But Unfortunately, this info is just from looking at a very long list of clinical data.
That is amazing! I would love to see a website like that, or maybe even have a printed book if you ever put one together.
I have a publisher friend that was telling me nonfiction books are the ones the like printing because they stand the test of time. Fiction are just throw away books from his data, except for children's picture books.
It was a fascinating lunch discussion with them. They were saying anyone who wants to publish fiction should do short stories published by Amazon to build a following & then once you have enough (thousands of followers/fans, preferably ovrr 250k+) then it would be an appropriate time to try your hand at the multi book sagas like Wheel of Time, Way of Kings, Lord of the Rings, etc... The data shows that you lose about 10% of the readers every sequel on average (1M>900k>810k>729k>656.1K...) unless you start with tens or hundreds of millions of readers, anything more than a trilogy ends up being really hard to sell (rare rare exception like Harry Potter).
They still have reference books their father published before they were born that get requested for purchase occasionally, & when a group finds it fascinating they can quickly reprint the book again because they have the files ready to print & send out again. Every few years this seems to happen, so those non fiction books are the ones they really like to publish. I was amazed at how many ways he has to do contracts & it is all up to how much equity the writer wants to maintain, how marketing the writer wants the publisher to do, how much funding the writer wants to put down vs needing the publisher to pony up for the books to be printed, etc... I was never aware of how many ways contracts could be created for that industry. It was quite insightful.
Either way, the information you have found sounds like a fantastic resource.
I would love to know which products are the most bioavailable that you have found. I know from my own experience that some work better than others & haven't even scratched the surface of which ones are the best for all the products I am trying to learn about. I do know that the cyanide B12 doesn't work well for myself or children, but it did for my cousins. I forget the formulation of B12 we ended up with, but I know to avoid the cyanide based one.
