Hi guys. Ever heard of Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) ? It’s a form of Vitamin B3 (niacin), which is sold by many commercial names. The most famous is probably TruNiagen. The studies done on it, seem to be very promising. The claims are that, since it’s a precursor of NAD+, using this supplement should boost your NAD+ levels, thus giving you lots of positive things, like DNA repair, antiaging effects etc.
I’ve read quite a few about it, in the last weeks. So a few days ago I decided to order a bottle (from life extension) and try it. Yesterday, after dinner I swallowed my first pill.
This morning, and I don’t know if it was just a coincidence, I felt very bad. Expecially in my head. Lots of confusion, brain fog. Call it whatever you prefer. But I wasn’t feeling okay. I was almost sure I was getting into a relapse. Since I’ve already read about the side effects of this particular supplement, I think I understood why I felt that way this morning. So I took a vit B complex with some methylfolate in it. And after 30 minutes or so, I felt better.
Long story short, NR could be very helpful for some people, but people with MTHFR should be very careful with it. I’m starting to think that I have MTHFR. I dont know, probably it’s just a conjecture, but I’d like to read your opinions.
Here’s a link about NR :
Barbara, I was thinking about you! You are always so positive! How is your husband doing? I hope he is doing better and responding to his treatments! How are you doing? I’m sure it has been trying for you and your husband. I hope you both have stayed strong and healing and good health are ahead in the New Year! Sending good thoughts to you!! Dee
Anyway, yesterday I’ve posted a coment with a couple of links in it. It’s still awaiting moderation, but it’s a very interesting post for me. So, as soon as it’s visible, please scroll up, and read it, it’s important for me to read all your opinions.

Can someone please explain to me why a previous comment I’ve posted is taking so long to get approved? It was about a supplement I’ve tried and there were a couple of links about it. Defenetly not sponsoring, or anything Luke that…

Ok. Anyway, yesterday and today, I took the Nicotinamide Riboside (NR) again. This time no side effects. First time could’ve been just a coincidence. I’ll let you guys know, if I notice something different in the next weeks. I doubt it anyway. If this kind of supplements really act as a repair on damged DNA, I think we’re talking about months or even years, before seeing some improvement.
Right now, my current stack of supplements is this : vitamin D3 2500 iu+ K2, Magnesium L threonate 3 capsules a day and this new NR supplement, 250 mg (1 capsule a day). I’d like to add some zinc, maybe in the dosage of 10 mg, but I don’t know. Zinc could be tossic.
And here an article about research of ancient antibiotics,being mixtures of simple,natural ingredients.The researches tried one and where astonished about the efectivity,even against MRSA:
The people who developed,and used those old recipies are,by “modern scientists and medics) considered to be quacks.I’s time to understand that those were real medics,and the modern medics are the real quack.

Hi, so I went to urologist and you were all right, nothing is on ultrasound. So now I am following L advice how to cure UTI. So far so good.
Would you think to undergo cystoscopy is a good idea or no? I still have feeling that something is wrong with my bladder or is it just the poison in the pills which is tricking me? Is there anyone who actually has some visible damage in bladder?

So sorry for you and everyone here affected. Re Depression, I had to get on an anti-depressant, it has certainly helped me cope with the problems.
Bob, Are you taking homeopathic remedies again with Mr Mueller??? Also may I ask how long you were floxed at the time you took septocaine and had a reaction to it?? Did you feel pretty recovered when you reacted to the septocaine? Dee

I am curious if anyone here has ever tried AZO to help calm an irritated bladder? It is, and over the counter, supposedly very effective for people who do not have an actual bladder infection, but simply are experiencing irritation of the bladder lining or Interstitial cystitis (IC)/bladder pain syndrome (BPS

Lukasz, and others who have had pelvic area pain…I wanted to share this link. I keep running into mast cell activation syndrome over and over, and in researching that, i came across info on the PEA. I have no idea where to get it, but it is being used for interstitial cystitis which is what i suspect we had/have. https://neuropathie.nu/english-articles/interstitial-cystitis-the-role-of-the-mast-cell-and-treatment-with-palmitoylethanolamide-pea.html
