Thank you H.Noordhuizen for your comment. After thinking about it a bit you are 100% correct. The idea of adding silver to the Epsom Salt foot bath is a bad idea. Your entire post is good information.

I really need support. I’ve been bed-ridden for nearly four months now since being floxed in December. Thought I had hit bottom weeks ago, but things just keep getting worse. So much buzzing in head and burning in body, which worsens anytime I do anything slightly strenuous (like get out of bed to use bathroom). We live in two-story house, and I still try and get downstairs once a day. I have to crawl up stairs. My mind won’t let me focus on TV, audio books, or reading, so I just lay here. Would love to hear from others who were this weak and fatigued: how bad can things get? when did you turn the corner? is it safe to assume we all do turn the corner eventually? My friends say, be patient, you’ll be better soon … and … you aren’t still sick, are you? I am eating organic, taking what supplements I can, but feel that if I get any worse, my legs will give out completely. Walking is limited, just in the house. Need wheel chair for going anywhere. Arms don’t work that well anymore, either. So … 4 mos of this and no end in sight. What are others’ experiences who also wound up stuck in bed? Please share what you can — what worked for you, how long it took, etc., etc., rather than just “hang in there” Thanks everyone!

L……Don…..and L Coleman, Sorry there is no reply button on your answers. Thanks for your tips and support. I may consider Mitoq again, but I took it in the early years, year2 in fact and did not notice any difference, however I don’t know what I would have been like without it. I’m just sick of spending so much money all the time, and then back it comes and I have to guess why. I had a bad fall last November and compressed my spine, but I seemed to be okay as far as the energy and burning were concerned at the time, so again with that trauma to my body and a recent long haul flight, who the heck knows. But if the mito can be refunded if it doesn’t work, I may reconsider.
Don I will also do some research on your suggestion. Did it work for you ?
I just ran onto an article about the importance of sulfur in the body. (MSM) A quote from the article. Sulfur plays a critical role in detoxification, as it is part of one of the most important antioxidants that your body produces: Glutathione (glutathione is the master antioxidant and it detoxifies every cell in your body). Without sulfur, glutathione is rendered ineffective. That’s significant because glutathione is your body’s built-in detoxifier. Another quote. A few other minerals that you may not be getting enough of are magnesium and sulfate (which soaking in an Epsom salts bath may help alleviate). A shortage of these could lead to high blood pressure, heart problems, high blood pressure and symptoms like leg cramps, muscle twitches or spasms. Bottom line…………. A rather interesting article and some of it could relate to things that might help those who have been floxed.
Hi Don. I’ve taken MSM for 3 months straight. It was a combination of MSM, manganese, glucosamine sulphate, condotrin sulphate, devil’s claw, aloe vera. Here in Italy is sold by the commercial name No Dol.It is supposed to be a joint pain support. It did nothing for me.
So to recap, according to what you’ve wrote in the previous link and according to the link of the study I’ve posted, it would be interesting to combine 5 gr of MSM + 200 mg of S- acetyl glutathione a day…let me know what’s your opinion.

Vitamin D3 , Omega 3, B12, Folate, BComplex,.Careful if taking warfarin as K2 is strongly contraindicated due to dangerous interactions..
Re Bayer,Basf etc. Now more than ever it is patient beware. Do your home work before accepting any medication made in a “big pharma” lab. It is appearing that the entire medical profession is being taken over by “profiteers”. Their presence has become so prolific that doctors must either go along to get along or be “neutralized”. Have you noticed how many alternative medicine doctors have been “neutralized” lately. And it seems that all the “neutralizations” have been under “mysterious circumstances”.
Thank goodness for the Internet and being able to Google for information. Without it I would have never come to realize that being “floxed” was behind my many problems. It certainly didn’t come from information I received from any doctors!!!!!!! Is prohibiting medical information from being posted on the Internet next?

Sorry guys. I’ve read here many times, that checking your magnesium levels with the traditional blood exam is pretty useless. What other exams can we do, to have a better idea of our magnesium levels? Thanks.
