I’ve been dealing with the kooks for six months just sharing my experience. But if you want a high dose vit c IV or high quality supplements you gotta deal. I’m not on either side I’m on the less harsh pharmaceuticals side especially when it’s clear those drugs treat symptoms not the root cause. In the end the 5 top treatments were (1) stellate ganglion block (traditional), (2) EECP (traditional), (3) valerian root, kava, CBD, skull cap all for sleep and mental health (functional or non-traditional), (4) strict anti-inflammatory low histamine diet (non-traditional), and (5) ketamine infusions (quasi-traditional).
what helped but hurt just as much was prednisone and Xanax.
other things that I think helped but aren’t traditional include red light therapy, IV drips especially high dose vit C, and infrared sauna.
what failed miserably was albuterol and other steroid inhalers.
in the end I avoided long term use of SSRIs - fucked everyone wanted me on these - Z drugs for sleep, gabapentin for nerve pain and low dose naltrexone… all of which would require long term use under the circumstances I was in and/or significant withdrawals upon discontinuation.
so in the end some of the kooky shit helped but yeah holy fuck there are some loons in the IV drip rooms.
