Thank you B.

B.
ALT is also raised.
CT abdomen scan showed a gall stone in the bile duct.
She’s going to be admitted for an ercp procedure.

Hi B,
Thank you very much for your response. I wanted to ask, would it be okay to open up the SB capsule and sprinkle the contents into a glass of water before drinking it or into my food before taking it?
I also looked at what Dr. Crista mentioned just now , and yes, she recommends avoiding SB and instead suggests taking the Microlabs Megaspore probiotic. It’ll be interesting to see what the Voll machine indicates about the probiotic and other supplements when I meet Geoffrey Montague Smith on October 16th.
I did the A.R.T test last week, and interestingly, most of my supplements came up as a “no,” but SB was actually on the “yes” list. It’s strange how one test can give a positive result for something while another suggests avoiding it, it really adds to the confusion.
That’s part of the challenge for me, with so much going on, it can be hard to know what’s truly right. I’ll try your approach of starting with very small amounts and then my thought not taking it daily, leaving a day or two in between.

Thank you, B.
Tomorrow, I’ll upload the forms I needed to complete before Dr. Lulsegged selected the blood test markers for Lyme and others. He also wants me to have a mitochondrial test, which includes a blood test.
This is the lab that performs both the Lyme and mitochondrial test:

Hi B.
Thank you.
I’ve just started taking SB for two main reasons: first, to help keep H. pylori at bay, and second, to support my secretory IgA. If it also helps with fungal overgrowth, that’s an added bonus, as I wasn’t aware of that. I’m not taking any probiotics right now, so I thought I’d give this a try.
With this mind, I guess I can take it with food?

Hi B.
I was focusing on the supplements and thought another diet to follow. I didn’t think about the factors you mentioned could cause oxalate issue. Thank you.

Meeting Geoffrey on October 16th.

Thank you B. I’ve requested these additional markers.

Hi B.
I completely overlooked that I raised this with you before. Also, I’ve just sent an email to Gregory to check his availability before I explore ART further.

Good morning Daniel,
I started taking K2 since becoming aware of functional medicine in 2019 and reading up in your course. However, I didn’t realise about MK4 and MK7 out there.

Hi Daniel,
Out of curiosity, I was just looking up my last Vitamin D reading. It was from November 2024 – 118.4 nmol/L.
I might be able to get hold of it from

Yes, this is indeed very helpful Daniel. My next question, have you come across a liquid version of Vitamin D K2 MK7. I would like to switch, but can’t find one.

Hi B. & Daniel,
I’m meeting Professor Sooriakumaran on 26th September and will raise both Daniel’s points as well as the findings from my results so far. I may have to undergo an ultrasound scan or MRI in addition to the cystoscopy.
Regarding Famotidine, I’ve never been able to come off the 20mg dose (which I only take at night), despite working with a practitioner in 2024. I also tried micro-dosing with very small amounts of Betaine HCL, but continued to experience heartburn.
At present, I don’t take any antacid in the morning, but I do get severe heartburn when eating protein (e.g., two small chicken breast pieces) with a small amount of vegetables, even when blended. I usually need Gaviscon immediately afterwards.

A quick update on Mum.
She was discharged on September 10th without needing an ERCP. Instead, the consultant carried out an MRCP scan just to be sure, which showed no stone. He mentioned that the 2mm stone, previously lodged in the ampulla of Vater, may have flushed out naturally.
Her ALP, ALT, and GGT markers have since come down, and she’s had no symptoms. The consultant has asked the GP to repeat blood tests on October 2nd to check where the markers are now. If symptoms such as high fever, yellowing of the skin or pain in the right hand side of her abdomen reappear, we should inform the gastroenterologist department immediately and ERCP will be need to go ahead.

Hi B. ,
Mum was moved from Accident & Emergency into the Acute Assessment Unit at midnight last night. Unfortunately, they don’t carry out procedure over the weekend, so the gastroenterology team will review her tomorrow and then put her on the waiting list. This is what I was told this morning, over the phone. I’ll be heading in shortly to get a clearer picture.
I’d also been looking into your liver and detox module, as mum had mentioned having pain on the right hand side last Friday. The module was extremely useful and timely. I had my hunch it could be gallstones even before the CT scan, based on what you explained about blockages. I also picked up on the raised ALP from your course and raised it with the GP and nephrologist where it was going up and down gradually over the past three months, though at the time they didn’t seem too concerned.
I really hope the procedure goes smoothly and without complications.
Thanks so much for your kind wishes.
