Diet, high in antioxidants and plant polyphenols to combat free radicals and resulting inflammation. Kidney and liver detox focused spices like curcumin, pipperine, and gingerol amongst many others are helpful. Strong liver and kidneys helps improve antioxidant function to curtail inflammation. High probiotic with many prebiotics for gut function to be able to actually absorb the nutrients in those anti-inflammatory antioxidants and polyphenols. You can eat anti inflammatory 100% of the time, but without a gut capable of absorption it wont make a difference. Thats why i suggested a gut mapping test so that you can know what types of foods to focus on. TNF inhinitors as mentioned in the automated response are Biologics. Biologics, DMARDS and Nsaids wont do anything if your underlying cause that triggers your particular body's inflammation is something like Lyme disease, parasites or one of the other dormant pathogens i mentioned previously.
Seriously, Mark, again, for you and anyone else reading this, the only way to know, get rid of, and heal is to do the deeper level testing. Otherwise, just be smart about your diet and lifestyle choices. There is no quick and easy one and done pill. If there were, there would not be so many people here looking for answers, same as you. I promise you that i know how frustrated you feel. We all do. I even consulted a Functional Medicine practitioner, $2500US out of pocket, no insurance, to be told that I am doing everything right other than move out of my house.
Mold is one of my culprits. We have already rebuilt most of our house, a couple hundred, yes, a lot of f-ing money. I assure you i know how disheartening it is to learn there is no magic fix. It's insurmountable. Just do the absolute very best you can with what you have. Dont consume toxins. Not even a beer. Period. Eat nutritional, exercise regularly, enjoy your life as much as possible every minute of every day MINDFULLY of your choices. Yours in better health P ππ

Did you watch the recent "Conquering Inflammation" webinar? I watched them and am trying three new supplement products, the Ayurveda herbal blend with Curcumin that i dont immediately recall, the H2 tabs from Dr Ari Whitten, and the BPC157(?) Peptide that that big muscle chiropractor sells. I'll post about them if I feel a noticeable difference. That said, i might not know. I just started with a FM specialist to work on getting klebsiella pneumoniae, streptococcus, cesium, and mold out of my body. Hell, SOMEthing has got to get me over this block in my road back to energetic strength. π€·
@MarkOdabadhian. I am but a mere reflection of those around me.
Thank you Mark for the kind words. I'm pretty candid and the space limitations dont allow for a lot of sugar coating. Some people get fairly aggravated with me occasionally, but I'm no people pleaser.
I just be me, some like, some do not. You're pretty cool too though my friend, first strand of puka shells ive seen since highschool (last year... Yeah rightππ)
