I have seen doctor recommendations that say when health issues are present it is meaningful and safe to take as much as 10,000 IU of vitamin D3. I have been taking 5,000 IU twice a day. Is that safe and useful for me and others?

Dr. Andreas Kalcker promotes treatment of cancer using Chlorine Dioxide Solution to first reach a clinical redox plateau, then introduces albendazole/fenbendazole to impose mitotic stress, and then adds ivermectin to quiet excitatory signaling. In this scenario, the fenbendazole is used to block glucose handling by cancer cells to limit energy availability, and destabilize microtubules to hinder cell division. Is his theory sound? Is his timed sequence a more elegant way to utilize fenbendazole effectively to derive benefit?ClosedNicola asked 5 months ago • Healing Modalities194 views0 answers0 votesA practitioner asks: “An article [on the Internet] discusses the potential of fenbendazole, a common antiparasitic drug used in veterinary medicine, as a treatment for cancer. Fenbendazole (FBZ) has gained attention due to anecdotal reports suggesting it may have anticancer properties. FBZ may also enhance the efficacy of traditional cancer treatments like chemotherapy and radiation. FBZ though has no clinical literature as an anti-cancer treatment.

However, there are some key differences between the two. Magnesium Chloride is a combination of magnesium and chlorine, and is often used for its ability to help with muscle function and relaxation. On the other hand, Magnesium Glycinate is a combination of magnesium and the amino acid glycine, and is known for its high bioavailability and ability to support relaxation and stress relief. While both forms of magnesium can be beneficial, Magnesium Glycinate may be preferred by some individuals due to its gentle and easily absorbed nature.

Does sulforaphane have anti-viral properties or is the sulforaphane working somewhere downstream to mitigate symptoms and damage caused by chronic viral infections? Can sulforaphane provide broad benefits to a majority of people by protecting against various forms of cancer, prevent cardiovascular disease, reduce symptoms of autism, and slow aging or are these claims exaggerations?”ClosedNicola asked 5 months ago • Healing Modalities193 views0 answers0 votesAdvanced Bionutritionals recently announced sale of Thyrovanz which contains 100 mg of bovine thyroid glandular powder. This natural ingredient includes thyroid hormones T1, T2, T3, T4, and Calcitonin, which supports healthy thyroid function. Is the only advantage of Thyrovanz that it will better help the 15% of hypothyroid patients who have abnormal conversion of T4 to T3 than would be done using the Armour Thyroid extract, or does Thyrovanz also deliver a healthier balance or more effective supplementation of endogenous hormone production?ClosedNicola asked 5 months ago • Healing Modalities197 views0 answers0 votes
