Tightness just below my sternum at the valve is the first clue. Nothing goes through, not even saliva. Only thing that helps is relaxation breathing exercises. Usually turns loose suddenly within fifteen minutes.

Today went pretty well and I am "light"6 mg of requip. It is 8:30 PM and I'm just beginning to stiffen up. Last meds were 2:00 PM.

You mean you do not enjoy eating white wax with an oily component? I have tried puttiing it on toast with jelly and putting it into half a cup of hot coffee. Neither are terrific, but then again they aren't terrible. I am up to about 2 teaspoonfuls in the morning. I do not look forward to it, but I am willing to give it a try.

mmm, I couldn't eat it or drink it that way either. But stirring a spoonful into vanilla yogurt or ice cream works well for me, using it in baked things like muffins, using it in making crepes or pancackes, or in a banana smoothie....if you look around, you might find an acceptable alternative.

Do you melt it first? It says on my jar not to microwave it but stand it (the jar) in a pot of hot water. I love yogurt, so that is a good idea. By the way, I smelled lasagne cooking tonight!

Well, I nearly did myself in again. A couple of years ago I found that turmeric kills h. pylori so darned fast that it overwhelmed my detox abilities. It took me two weeks to catch on and I took some minor neurological damage before doing so. The same thing happened with the coconut oil over the past few days, but this time I was watching for it.

Day before yesterday (Wed.) I was off from about 3:00 until bedtime. Yesterday, I went off by noon and literally lurched and hurled myself to bed by 9:00 PM. All week I have been starting out with about a half tblspn but yesterday I managed to triple that. Whoooeee! Starting last night, I've been eating silymarin (milk thistle) like candy for helping the liver deal with it and I've done well today. I plan to start again tomorrow but at half a teaspoon with more silymarin.

This won't be a problem for most of us, but if you try the larger doses and find your symptoms ramping up, keep it in mind. This gives us another benefit of regular use since HP poses particular problems for PWP. A lower dose should let me get rid of the bugs and stay HP free, a very big plus.

i'm trying help my father who suffers from a lewy body dementia.
I buy bottles of coconut oil in a local store but i'm not sure if it's non hydrogenated because the price is low ...
there is an effect with hydrogenated one ?

thanks and excuse my very poor english

Hello, IMHO ANY oil that has been "hydrogenated" is bad. Google "hydrogenate" and you will see how the food is chemically altered such that, again IMHO, the body has no clue what to do with it. You want to get extra virgin NON PROCESSED NON HYDROGENATED coconut oil. Shop around, you will find it is not too expensive since you just use a bit at a time.
