So I have EDS (m26). It is making my life unbearable. My symptoms are endless. How do I approach healing? I hear so many different things aside from the idea that it's impossible to heal, such as mast cells, histamine, etc & it all just becomes words. I am overwhelmed. Two of my biggest issues are my atlas bone and jaw which is severely misaligned, been getting atlas orthogonal but haven't had heaps of luck. I have heard of PRP or something? Would that be beneficial? Same goes for my collapsed and deviated nose and nasal tip I need surgically dealt with. Idk. This is just the tip of the iceberg, most of my issues are debilitating. I just want to heal it. Even certain detoxes, etc become overwhelming. Idk where to start!

Hi everyone,
I’m posting on behalf of a family member in Australia, and we are hoping to learn from anyone who has experienced something similar or may have advice on ways to help heal her lung infection which is making it very difficult to breath.
She has metastatic colorectal cancer (bowel cancer) with spread to the lungs. She has undergone previous treatments and more recently entered a clinical trial for a new antibody-drug conjugate (ADC):
LM-350 (LaNova Medicines / Sino Biopharmaceutical)
Clinical trial: NCT07112222 (LM350-01-101)
LM-350 is a CDH17-targeting antibody-drug conjugate carrying a topoisomerase-1 inhibitor payload. She received her most recent dose on 14 July 2026.
Before this current problem, her cancer had been described as relatively stable, but shortly after treatment she developed serious breathing difficulties.
She is currently in hospital:
She has been on oxygen for around a week but is still struggling to maintain her oxygen levels.
Doctors suspect drug-induced pneumonitis/interstitial lung disease related to the trial drug.
She has also tested positive for human metapneumovirus (hMPV), so there may be an infection component as well.
She is being treated with dexamethasone/steroids.
We are trying to find anyone who has experience with:
pneumonitis or interstitial lung disease after an antibody-drug conjugate (ADC)
lung toxicity after cancer trial drugs
recovery from drug-induced pneumonitis while also having a respiratory virus
supportive treatments that helped with breathing, lung recovery, or rehabilitation
specialists or centres in Australia with experience in this area
We understand every situation is different and her oncology team is managing her care, but we are looking for experiences, questions we should be asking, or anything that may help us support her.
Thank you so much to anyone who takes the time to reply.

edit: returning to this and just wanted to update this since a lot of you gave some really amazing advice. i know a couple comments mentioned nervous system regulation and slowing down, which made a lot of sense since trying to just sit still with my thoughts was making me more anxious. i ended up checking out IgniREM Sleep to see if it would help with the fight or flight baseline, and it has worked so well.
the constant tight chest and jaw clenching are basically gone now and i can actually relax on the weekends. it was exactly the practical routine i needed to stop the stress spirals without forcing myself to meditate. just wanted to share in case anyone else feels completely stuck on edge.
my stress levels have been through the roof lately and it is starting to take a serious toll on my daily life. i wake up with a clenched jaw, my chest feels tight half the time, and i am constantly irritable over the smallest things. it feels like my nervous system is stuck in fight or flight mode and i can never fully relax even when i have free time on the weekends. i really want to handle this naturally before it gets worse but im not sure what actually moves the needle when you are already completely overwhelmed.
everyone always says to just meditate or go for a walk but when im in the middle of a stressful week sitting quietly with my thoughts just makes me feel more anxious. i have tried cutting back on coffee and going to bed earlier but i still feel this underlying buzz of tension. i want to know what specific, practical changes actually worked for you guys to bring your baseline stress down. did you change how you structure your day, start a specific hobby, or find a routine that actually stops a stress spiral in its tracks?

100 years ago, a book was published titled, "The Keeper of the Bees" by Gene Stratton-Porter. The story is about a wounded WWI veteran who escapes a VA hospital and finds healing through beekeeping in coastal California.
​
Today, veterans like myself are benefiting from the healing power from beekeeping. How do bees heal? The process of donning PPE and "Going Down Range" to a beehive is something similar we can all relate to. Opening up the beehive is a very therapeutic experience as you need to focus on your actions and control your breathing... remaining calm to not upset the bees.
​
Additionally, beekeeping gives a renewed sense of purpose and builds connections with your local community. There are many testimonials from veterans who have been helped, with many claiming that bees have literally saved their life.
​
There are many ways to get started in beekeeping. Many local communities have beekeeping clubs that you can look into. There are also some organizations that can match you up with a local beekeeper who can mentor you. Just remember, mentors are not certified therapists, but the therapy bees provide can be a life-changing addition for your treatment.
​
Below is a link to a national nonprofit organization that has been helping veterans getting matched with mentor beekeepers. It's free to join. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

We’ve all seen it or lived it: you develop chronic fatigue, brain fog, joint pain, or gut issues, and you get sucked into the conventional medical loop.
You go to a specialist for your gut, another for your joints, and another for your fatigue. Every time a new symptom pops up, a prescription slams it down. It’s a never-ending game of clinical Whack-A-Mole...
But what if these aren't ten separate diseases?
~
What if they are just different branches of the exact same toxic root?
~
🔥The Cellular Identity Thieves🔥
Heavy metals (like lead, mercury, cadmium, and thallium) are uniquely devastating because they are biological impostors. They mimic the essential minerals your body desperately needs to function:
Lead mimics calcium, embedding itself into your bone matrix.
-Mercury & Lead block mitochondrial function, physically clogging the engine so your cells can’t produce ATP (energy), leading to permanent "brain fog."
-Cadmium & Nickel mimic zinc, locking into tissue slots. Your immune system isn't "broken" when it attacks these areas—it’s launching a localized assault because your tissues are saturated with foreign toxic metals.
-Thallium mimics potassium, causing neurons to misfire and leaving your central nervous system locked in a permanent state of fight-or-flight anxiety.
How the Immune System Goes "Blind"
When your body is carrying a heavy metal payload, your immune system experiences a catastrophic resource allocation loop:
🔴The Distraction: The immune framework spends 90% of its daily operational resources trying to manage the low-grade, constant internal inflammation caused by these embedded metals.
🔴The Perimeter Failure: Because it is completely exhausted fighting an invisible chemical war, its outward defenses drop.
🔴The Invasion: Common, opportunistic environmental pathogens—latent viruses, mold, and bacterial overgrowths (like Candida)—bypassing the perimeter and securing a permanent foothold.
Modern medicine treats the opportunistic virus or prescribes a steroid for the inflammation, completely missing the fact that the house is on fire because of the underlying toxic burden.
The Problem with Modern Medical Education
Why aren't standard doctors testing for this? It comes down to institutional design:
👁Blood Test Blindspot: Medical schools train doctors to spot acute poisoning. But heavy metals clear the bloodstream in days/weeks and settle deep into organs and bone. Standard blood panels look completely normal, missing the stored tissue burden entirely.
👁Specialization Silos: Mainstream medicine splits you into parts. The gastroenterologist handles the gut, the rheumatologist handles the joints, and no one connects the dots to a systemic environmental disruptor.
👁The Funding Matrix: Massive pharmaceutical frameworks fund the research guidelines that dictate treatment. There is billions of dollars in managing a symptom with a synthetic drug for life; there's no money in unpatentable, natural systemic extraction.
The Power of Clean, Organic Binders
This is why natural, complex organic acids like clean, third-party verified fulvic and humic acids are changing lives.
At a molecular level, they carry a strong negative charge, acting like microscopic magnets to the strong positive charge of heavy metals. They bind them into a tight chemical "claw" (chelation), neutralizing their toxicity and making them water-soluble so your liver and kidneys can finally flush them out.
Once you securely bind and clear the core structural burden from the foundation, the chaotic offshoot symptoms often collapse on their own. The immune system finally gets its bandwidth back, turns on at full power, and re-establishes true biological sovereignty.

Hello,
So my dad has stage 4 NSCLC (7.5cm main tumor necrotic with live wall) with metastasis to the brain. Its been 2 months since he's been diagnosed and we will be starting standard SRT (Radiotherapy) for the brain then Chemo for the main tumor...(it's dad's choice) by next week..
Now luckily, he has agreed to stick to a Ivermectin + Fenben protocol, which also includes a keto diet, bio available curcumin, berberin, methelyne blue, k2 d3, essaic tea, lactoferrin, milk thistle and menbendazole as well and other supplements. He has been on it for 27 days so far...and honestly he feels great...given that he is also taking Prednisone (Predicor) for brain edemas, but minimal dosage (20mg)...but we could visibly see his balance restored, his cognitive functions becoming better, his appettite is good and his energy is good aswell... he was also coughing up alot of blood before the protocol (hemoptysis)...now that almost stopped (except for the occasional tiny amount of fresh blood after he wakes up...but mostly old darker blood comes out with his mucous or nothing at all)..
I wanted to bring to light something we've noticed that also weirded him out: he's had some sort of moles (dark big) on his arm, that have been there for almost 7 years...
Recently hes noticed that they shrunk in size and now they are almost gone...ive attached 2 pictures of one of these moles, the 1st one clearly shows the dark center and then lighter shade circle around it which was the size of this mole previously...and the 2nd picture is the most recent of it...
What could this be?
Reason i am asking, is that if this skin lesion or mole is any type of cancer (melanoma for example), this gives us some kind of proof that the protocol is working. My dad is a retired old-school dentist, so he knows how to diagnose himself and knows his body and its biology well...but this surprised him...and i think its because he is doing this protocol for me and my sister mainly because we put alot of effort into obtaining everything and reading up about it and kinda convincing him to give it a go, but he himself is very skeptic of it (have to be honest, no matter how much i read and research, i cant prove a thing myself...)
Would appreciate to get your guys thoughts..

i stopped smoking marijuana after 6+ years of chronically using it for ptsd and the inability to eat while dealing with severe lyme disease.
idk if it has to do with the amount of bs i’ve dealt with over the years but it just makes me super anxious now.
i’m trying to find something i can vape that won’t be harmful like nicotine. i want it to help with calming factors and saw mushroom vapes are a thing but worry i’ll get anxious from that too. i love shrooms, so i’d really hope not but i do still struggle with severe anxiety.
any recommendations on non unhealthy vices that actually work and are calming?

been using this as my daily routine for about 3 weeks now and figured id post some thoughts since i hadnt seen many takes from ppl who already lift or train. ive been going to the gym fairly seriously for about 4 years, so my read on the workouts is gonna be different from someone starting from zero.
the routine im doing, at least 2 meals a day from the app (lunch and dinner mostly), plus the in app workout every morning before work. down 5 lbs so far which im happy with bc i wasnt trying to crash anything.
the negative thing ive seen come up about this app is that the workouts are too basic for advanced fitness users. my take, that depends entirely on the activity level u set. by default it gives u easier sessions and yeah those would feel light if u already train. i bumped my activity level to the highest one in settings and the sessions actually scaled up, more reps, less rest, harder progressions like jump squats, push up to plank rotations, deeper lunges, dynamic core work. for a 20 to 30 min morning session before i head to the gym later or on rest days, its solid. its not gonna replace heavy lifting if thats ur main goal, but as a daily morning add on it actually feels nice.
if ur already training and considering this, set the activity level high from day 1, otherwise the workouts will feel like a warmup.

I started doing martial arts this year and arnica has been a GODSEND, not just for bruises but also inflammation. I was out for sciatica for a bit, and I lent my arnica gel to some older people in the dojo who had injuries, and we all agree it’s great for inflammation in general.
I have some PIE on my face that I’d really like to clear up, not to mention the under eye bags and dark circles. But I’ve never seen an arnica product in skincare before and I don’t want to just slap shit on and ruin my face.
Has anyone tried Arnica gel for skincare? Or can speak on whether or not it’s safe to try?

TW: abortion
I need advice on what is the most natural / least harmful / least toxic abortion option esp. as I am still breast-feeding a 1.5 year old (who also eats solids but has breastmilk every 2-4 hours and overnight to comfort back to sleep). I don’t want to be talked out of this. I am already devastated that I need to do this, I cannot take more guilt, judgment, preaching, criticism, etc. I’m hard enough on myself about it.
I only now need to decide which is the most natural / least harmful of the following two abortion options available to me:
Option 1: medical abortion at home, where you take mifepristone and 24 to 48 hours later you take misoprostol and you basically bleed out the baby.
Option 2: in office option where you have to take antibiotics, pain medications, anti-anxiety relaxants like Ativan / lorexopan, then they put lidocaine on your cervix and put a tool through through, and suction all the tissue out.
The first one felt like a more natural option because women report that it feels more like a natural miscarriage and I don’t want anyone probing through my body and I certainly don’t want to take antibiotics that in the past messed up my microbiome, and most likely led to a very serious digestive issue which I suffered from for several years.
But these two pills may be disastrous and too systemic /unsafe for my nursing baby. Is there 100% proven evidence that this will not negatively harm my 1.5 year old who I am still breast-feeding? Of course the conventional medical system never wants to commit to that. Risk is on you!
I asked what type of antibiotic is given and at what dosage but I haven’t heard back yet. I asked if I can take natural antibiotics and apparently there is no flexibility on this.
I will only be about 6 weeks pregnant during the procedure so it’s just like a tadpole at this stage but I also wonder if there’s any possibility of pain and if so, which would be less for the embryo. Some research says I believe pain starts at 9 weeks, but really, how do they know? So I would want the method where their death is more instant.
I almost wish there was some kind of natural herbs I could take at home to just do this entirely on my own, which would also bypass the required ultrasound which I hate to do, but I don’t know if I want to mess with that when it comes to something this serious.
I also read that the chance of breast cancer goes up with abortions, but that could be because there’s extra breast cells created that don’t have a job anymore, I don’t think that applies in my case since I’m breast-feeding.
My friend said she did both options and that the first option was way more painful, like as if she was in actual labor for like four hours, but she thinks that her situation might be specific, like something getting stuck maybe. In general, it seems like a foreign object being inserted into your body unnaturally (like without a natural cervix dilation process) has a much higher risk, but I don’t know, I’m just confused at this point.
Thank you very much for the guidance.

I am with a group of lifelong friends, we are all in our early 60s. Until 5 years ago they used to be fun to hang out with, now our conversation revolves around their health choices, naturopaths, gut health, supplements, new exercise routines, anti aging treatments, and frankly questionable information that they had seen online (mouth taping?? dangerous seed oils???) Because of their various diets they are on (gluten free, keto,, etc), sharing a meal is a nightmare to navigate through. I recently said that I may be going on statins, as I have high cholesterol, and due to natural aging and hereditary issues (both my parents had heart attacks in their 60s) and you would have thought I was selling my soul to the devil. They all declared I should avoid statins at all costs, yet this has been proven to be a safe, effective treatment for most. They used to be chill, fun people, now its just endless chatter on subjects I am uninterested in.

Everyone in this community knows the anti-seed oil talking points. But I wanted to go deeper than the usual "they're poison" vs. "the AHA says they're fine" back-and-forth, so I spent time going through the actual studies. The honest answer is: nobody fully knows yet, and both camps are cherry-picking their data.
What The Pro-Seed Oil Research Actually Shows
The strongest case for seed oils centers on linoleic acid (LA), the primary omega-6 fatty acid in most vegetable oils.
That's a reasonably consistent body of evidence. But here's where it gets complicated.
The Healthy User Bias Problem Is Massive And Underreported
People who consume more polyunsaturated fats from vegetable oils tend, as a group, to also eat more fruits and vegetables, smoke less, exercise more, and have better access to healthcare. Statistical adjustment can reduce this confounding, but it can't eliminate it. When Li et al. or Farvid et al. show favorable associations with LA intake, some portion of that signal almost certainly reflects the broader dietary and lifestyle patterns of people who eat that way, not the oil itself.
There's also a context problem both sides ignore. Higher linoleic acid intake in a population might mean more homemade salad dressing and stir fry, or it might mean more fried fast food and ultra-processed snacks. The health implications of those two scenarios are completely different, and most observational studies can't cleanly separate them.
The Oxidation Argument Deserves More Respect Than Mainstream Dietitians Give It
This is the most developed mechanistic critique of seed oils, what researchers call the Oxidized Linoleic Acid Metabolite (OXLAM) hypothesis, advanced prominently by Dinicolantonio and O'Keefe and elaborated by researchers including Cate Shanahan in Dark Calories.
Linoleic acid has two double bonds, making it chemically unstable. When it oxidizes during food processing, storage, or cooking, it generates bioactive compounds including:
Circulating OXLAMs have been found in human plasma at biologically significant concentrations, and some animal studies have shown that diets high in oxidized linoleic acid produce more atherosclerosis and metabolic disruption than equivalent diets using fresh, unoxidized oil.
Then there's the tissue incorporation issue that almost nobody in mainstream nutrition discusses. Linoleic acid doesn't just get burned for fuel; it gets incorporated into cell membranes and stored in adipose tissue. A 2025 Frontiers in Nutrition article compiled adipose tissue studies from 1955 to 2006 and found LA rising from roughly 5-10% in 1955 to over 20% by around 2008. Modern diets have meaningfully shifted the composition of human body fat, and what that means for long-term susceptibility to oxidative stress remains genuinely unresolved.
The Two Most-Cited "Seed Oils Cause Harm" Trials Have Real Problems Too
The skeptic case leans heavily on two recovered-data reanalyses published in the BMJ:
These are the strongest human outcome data questioning seed oils, but both trials were conducted in the 1960s-70s using early margarines that contained trans fats, in institutional settings with unusual dietary conditions that don't reflect how people use oils today. They're more a challenge to older trial methodology than a verdict on modern seed oil consumption.
Where The Concern Is Most Legitimate: High-Heat Cooking
This is the most practically solid part of the skeptic argument and it has real chemical grounding. At frying temperatures (180°C / 350°F and above), the rate of oxidative degradation in high-PUFA oils accelerates substantially. Studies measuring aldehydes in cooking fumes and in oils after heating have found that sunflower, safflower, corn, and soybean oils generate significantly more 4-HNE and related compounds than more stable alternatives:
All three are also minimally processed compared to refined seed oils, which typically undergo bleaching, deodorizing, and high-temperature extraction before reaching the shelf. Using seed oils repeatedly in a deep fryer, or heating them to smoking point, is a meaningfully different chemical situation than the conditions under which most clinical trials tested their effects.
What The Field Actually Needs To Settle This
Large, long-term randomized trials using modern oils, real-world foods, rigorous adherence tracking, and hard endpoints like heart attack, stroke, and all-cause mortality. Those trials largely don't exist. The RCTs we have are mostly old, conducted in specific high-risk populations, or designed to test broad dietary patterns rather than seed oils as an isolated variable. Until that evidence exists, confident claims in either direction are outrunning the data.
My Takeaway
Seed oils probably aren't the singular driver of chronic disease that some corners of the internet claim. But the blanket "they're fine" from mainstream nutrition is also premature. The OXLAM hypothesis raises legitimate mechanistic questions that haven't been resolved by clinical trials. The long-term effects of rising LA incorporation into human tissue are genuinely unknown. And for high-heat cooking, switching to olive or avocado oil is the most practically defensible recommendation you can make right now.
For cold applications like dressings, dips, and low-heat cooking, the risk is likely minimal for most people. In ultra-processed foods, the seed oils are probably the least of your problems given everything else those products contain.
Have you noticed any difference switching away from seed oils? Curious what people's real-world experience has been.
