The supplement also includes four adaptogens for reducing stress effects: Gotu Kola– because it’s a cerebral tonic that improves circulation to the brain; Tribulus terrestris– because it has neuroprotective and antioxidant mechanisms that enhance memory, protect neurons, and improve neurotransmission; Salvia officinalis– because it supports memory, acetylcholine preservation, and neuroprotection. It helps prevent age-related cognitive decline by supporting brain energy metabolism; and Rhodiola Rosea– because it helps the body handle stress and fatigue by balancing cortisol and increasing cellular energy (ATP). It enhances endurance, focus, and emotional resilience by improving oxygen use and neurotransmitter balance. You recently ranked the Primal Force supplement, Focus IQ, to be superior as a recommendation for enhancing brain health and cognitive performance, especially focus, concentration, and memory recall as compared to Advanced Memory Formula from Advanced Bionutritionals. How would Myco Max rank among these other two brain supplements?ClosedNicola asked 3 weeks ago • Healing Modalities83 views0 answers0 votesA viewer asks: “Being aware of Creator’s previous answers on Vitamin D3 supplementation I was shocked to discover a paper from 2014 “A Statistical Error in the Estimation of the Recommended Dietary Allowance for Vitamin D”. The paper claims that the Recommended Daily Allowance advocated by the Institute of Medicine for Vitamin D was incorrectly calculated! In fact, analyzing the data correctly, nearly 9000 IUs per day are required to achieve target levels (600 IU per day is the USA recommended level). I was struck by how closely the 9000 IU figure matched Creator’s “daily doses of 5,000 to 10,000 IU vitamin D3 will rarely be harmful.” What is Creator’s perspective on this “miscalculation” coming to light?”ClosedNicola asked 3 weeks ago • Healing Modalities61 views0 answers0 votesA British group reported recently that administration of vitamin D2, which is converted to vitamin D3 by the body, may be disadvantageous. A review of random controlled trials showed that taking vitamin D2 can lead to a decrease in vitamin D3 levels, the more active form generated by sunlight exposure. The research indicates that D2 supplementation may not only be less effective, but can also lead to lower concentrations of D3 in the circulation. [Emily I G Brown, et al. Effect of Vitamin D2 Supplementation on 25-Hydroxyvitamin D3 Status: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials. Nutr Rev, 2025 Sep 18:nuaf166.doi: 10.1093/nutrit/nuaf166].

Is this something unique, or is the marketing emphasis on scientific breakthroughs in better understanding the origins and function of stem cells just detailing benefits of broad spectrum nutraceutical coverage that likely occurs with many supplements, singly and in combination?ClosedNicola asked 3 weeks ago • Healing Modalities45 views0 answers0 votesWould taking the Primal Force supplement, Focus IQ, be superior as a recommendation for enhancing brain health and cognitive performance, especially focus, concentration, and memory recall as compared to Advanced Memory Formula from Advanced Bionutritionals?ClosedNicola asked 3 weeks ago • Healing Modalities40 views0 answers0 votesIs Vibration Therapy using the Power Plate Personal Machine a significant benefit for helping to counter a number of aging-related impairments causing a decline in function, or is it being over-hyped?ClosedNicola asked 3 weeks ago • Healing Modalities39 views0 answers0 votesIs Vibration Therapy using the Power Plate Personal Machine of particular value in helping to reverse or prevent problems in the elderly, from cognitive decline, obesity, loss of muscle mass, hypertension, and bone loss, to reducing muscle aches and pains, stiffness, joint pains, and beneficial hormone increases?ClosedNicola asked 3 weeks ago • Healing Modalities44 views0 answers0 votesIs the experimental weight-loss drug, Retatrutide, both safe and effective, or is its aggressive, triple-action mechanism going to invite unexpected side effects?

It contains 2000mg in a 2 ml volume. It seems like that would be enough volume to swish around the teeth and gums, and could be added to an equal volume of water if more convenient or necessary to soften the taste. Would using this supplement daily be an effective way to get enough topical antiviral activity to counteract viral gum disease significantly?ClosedNicola asked 3 weeks ago • Healing Modalities56 views0 answers0 votesWe are comparing these 3 vitamin C solutions: #1.

Here’s a summary of benefits from a Brave search (saw nothing on the Creator database): Manuka honey offers a range of potential health benefits due to its unique antibacterial, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. It is particularly noted for its ability to support wound and burn healing, with research indicating it can promote tissue regeneration, reduce pain, and help prevent infections, including those caused by antibiotic-resistant strains like MRSA. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved its use for wound treatment, and medical-grade Manuka honey is often used as a sterile dressing for minor wounds and leg ulcers. For oral health, Manuka honey may help reduce dental plaque buildup, potentially preventing gingivitis and other periodontal diseases. It can also soothe sore throats and help relieve coughs, with clinical trials supporting its effectiveness in alleviating these symptoms. In terms of digestive health, Manuka honey may support gut health by acting as a prebiotic and helping to manage conditions like stomach ulcers and acid reflux. Manuka honey is also used for skin care, where it can hydrate the skin, manage acne, and help with conditions like eczema and dermatitis. Its application as a topical treatment for dry, irritated, or sensitive skin, including as a facial mask or lip balm, is common. Some studies suggest it may help reduce the signs of aging, such as fine lines and wrinkles. Additionally, Manuka honey may support overall immunity, provide natural energy, and serve as a healthier alternative to refined sugar when consumed in moderation. It has been associated with potential benefits for heart health, including supporting healthy blood sugar and LDL cholesterol levels, though these findings are based on studies involving a healthy diet context. It may also aid in recovery from exercise and support the body’s natural defenses against stress and infections. Despite these benefits, Manuka honey is not suitable for infants under one year old, people with diabetes or blood-sugar control disorders, or those with a known honey allergy. It should be consumed in moderation due to its natural sugar content, which can raise blood sugar levels if overused. A higher UMF™ (Unique Manuka Factor) rating, typically 10+ or higher, indicates stronger antibacterial potency due to higher levels of methylglyoxal (MGO), dihydroxyacetone (DHA), and leptosperin. https://search.brave.com/search?q=manuka+honey+benefits&summary=1&conversation=e2c455d58326bf11d914f9.”ClosedNicola asked 3 weeks ago • Healing Modalities56 views0 answers0 votes
