Bryan Johnson takes Lumbrokinase and has had very good results reducing the biological age of his lungs after covid. If you don't like the idea of eating earth worm extract then nattokinase is 2nd best.
The only people experiencing this side-effect that has bad genetics.
Any thoughts regarding TMG (trimethyl glycine)?
Chest pressure especially when bending over. Anyone else experience this?
I had severe stomach pains and had to get medical care for HIVES just using a product containing Boswellia. I am still suffering itching, burning redness on my body! It is a fact that I have many allergic reactions. Allergic to ALL anti inflammatory prescriptions and over the counter.
Thanks for sharing your experience Patty. PEMF is a good option to control inflammation. I talk much more about the ins and outs here: www.curtis-alexander.com
I’ve been on Ajovy for over a year and I’ve noticed weight gain and hair loss. However… I’m also premenopausal, so there’s that.
Thanks for sharing Tanya. Yep, premenopause can be playing a role as well.
Dr. Alexander - MANY thanks for your videos; they are among the most helpful ones out there. QUESTION: Can you sharpen up the concept of taking meds/supplements "on an empty stomach" ? Let's say it has been 2 or 3 hours since I have ingested solid food, and can therefore assume the stomach is clear of acidic gastric juices which would destroy fragine proteins (e.g. nattokinase or Serrapeptase.) Does drinking 6 ounces of water trigger gastric acids and re-start the two-hour clock? Does drinking a cup of coffee or tea (with no additives) trigger gastric acids and re-start the two-hour clock? This has bothered me for years and I think you are just the man to answer it ! Thanks much'ly... and greetings from Pennsylvania. ☺
Appreciate the kind words. Thanks for the video suggestion - I will make one answering your questions in the near future.
I Have been on this drug for decades. The VA never told me about the tie to my dizziness and nasal congestion. If I can tolerate it , can I take .4mg every 2-3 days to see if the symptoms are reduced? Any alternatives?
There are other options but they come with potentially worse side effects
Very Good Video. Item number 1, squamous cell carcinoma is what happened to me on this drug. This is the first video about Hydrochlorothiazide that mentions skin cancer as a side effect. My doctor sure did not mention this major side effect. I had to do the research myself. Just Google "Diuretic skin cancer" . This drug can raise your risk of squamous cell skin cancer by 30%.
It made my blood pressure go DOWN tremendously!!!! And dizziness was terrible.
Thanks for sharing Renee 👍
I have high levels of zinc and copper deficiency can I use zeolites and chelated copper
i use it only as tea, and not regularly, because its strong effect. It gives me much increased clarity in thinking, which may be related to the anti anxiety effect. Yet 500mg per day seems a lot.
arginine is a natural amino acid. Taking sth lke 0.5 to 2g of citrulline along with healthy diet and 100..120g protein wiill, in my opinion help the body to produce NO when needed without increasing NO independent of context. After 2 mo of 1..1.g of citrulline I do not observe lower energy, more of the opposite in the sense, that phys cardio training is more effective. Or do you talk about NO directly as a gas?
I've been on Lamictal for 7 years after an attempt suicide. I was never medicated for bipolar but took antidepressants. I have worked on healing my PTSD withe EMDR and learned many coping skills. My psychiatrist saw that I was ready to get off this drug. I've been on 200mg and we are reducing the medication 25mg every two weeks. I am now at 125mg for the next 4 days. Off and on I experience fatigue, headache, stomach pain, dizziness, and nausea. I started withdrawal in August and I believe I off the medication by the middle of November. Thanks for your information.
I would love to know more about how co2 factors into sleep apnea, or sleep quality in general.
But doctor isnt it used to increase prolactin??
I’d love to know: natto is apparently a blood thinner/ breaks down clots because of its enzymatic activity, but it has a fair-high Vit k content, which can support clotting. Correct? My dad had a mini stroke after a surgery and is on blood thinners and is directed to avoid Vit k foods like spinach. Realistically I just won’t have him try it because it might be risky, but I wish I could have him take natto and get the benefits instead of taking Rx blood thinners. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I think the food natto has some vitamin K, but the enzyme extracted from it, nattokinase, doesn't. It's just the enzyme. Maybe someone else can confirm.
Taking this for (non diabetic) neuropathy, (1,000 mg/day), but had to stop because every time I took it my blood pressure went stage 2 hypertension high. Be careful with this stuff.

Which brand sells the non plant based of bioidentical form of pregnanolone? Usually it is impossible to tell, because they don't mention it on the label
I was put on atenolol in 1981 as 25 mg a day and later in years it’s been increased to 100mg a day. For a long time it has worked well for me but in the last ten or 12 years I have started throwing up real bad every time I start working having to look down and getting hot I will start throwing up bad. Well I would have to stop and rest but when I start back after a little bit again I would get very nauseous and throw up more. This has been going on now a long time and when I discuss this with my doctor the dr doesn’t have a clue what causing my nausea. Well in about the last couple years it gotten where I can be just walking in a store and get very nauseous. I honestly believe it’s the atenolol I’m taking, because I get up in the mornings feeling great but not long after taking my 100mg of atenolol I can’t hardly do any thing physical without getting very nauseous and if I keep going without stopping to rest I will throw up bad. I know how my body is reacting I honestly feel it’s my atenolol that’s causing my nausea. I think the atenolol has damaged my body by taking it for the past 43 years, I don’t believe it’s good for your body long term, or maybe it has just affected me in a negative way, by no means if your on it don’t ever stop taking it without being monitored by your doctor.
If you have liver disease or any issues with liver fenugreek can cause you to go into liver failure.
I remember fenugreek was hyped 20 years ago… if it’s still used means that must work a little bit. Btw I hope you will look at cistanche next time
On my list. Thanks for the suggestion

Too much testosterone level very qujckly ages body and shorten the lifespan.
I tried fenugreek once for about a month - the only side effect was it made me smell like maple syrup.

Zetia made me really grumpy... my wife noticed it the week I started. I had to stop it after a week because I felt depressed.
I’m full carnivore my glucose is 85 at my last test

I have been taking 6000 fu of Nattokinase for almost 1 year now. I still get swelling in the legs after mitral valve replacement surgery by TAVI procedure for which I take diuretics.
Im taking it for erections and male vitality
I wish I knew this before getting prescribed this medication… I wasn’t exactly at a weight I wanted to be at before but it’s definitely bad now. Gained 30 pounds even after I restricted my diet. I feel like each day I look at myself I’ve gained weight. This is so frustrating 🤦🏻♀️
Sorry to hear that
Douglas Unions
As of today I quit taking zetia. I started feeling severe pain in all joints and muscles. I was really bad on 2 different statins I can't function on any of it. Feels like I got hit by a truck. I'm sorry but anything that makes one that miserable can't be good for you.
Horrible drug give you paranoid psychosis and akathesia
Take 1200 FU nattokanise for a failed left brachial artery bypass Now have a palpable pulse and adequate collateral flow
I’ve been on indocid for 30+ years daily. I think it has affected my immune system and stomach. I’m think there is a link between indo and my psoriasis

Im transitioning due to an allergic reaction to Copaxone. I will get blood work to make sure liver and heart are ok.
Is taking it once per day better than splitting the dose and take AM/PM?
Thank you so much for sharing! Took 600 mg most days last winter. THIS explains the sky rocketing Testo level that was found in spring. As a female in early menopause this completely threw me off to the point I lost my job. Also as Estradiol was below the gaugeable range for at least three months. Assume this excess Testo took a role in "lowering" 😀the non existing Estradiol. Thank god my doctor is US trained in nutrition, vitamins and hormones (which is like finding a pot of gold when in Germany), I am on my way back. After 4 months Testo level has lowered a bit but is still way above the upper limit. Estra and other hormones are now perfect, thanks to HRT.
thank you.
I'm so grateful you're addressing this topic. I'm heading to your website. Thank you.
8/2024 - I have been on for 4-6 months. It has been life changing for controlling migraines. However, there has been significant weight gain around the abdomen (10 lbs) and bloating. Also, total constipation but I expected that because anything that helps with pain (anywhere in the body) seems to always cause constipation. I’m so glad I read these comments because I have been perplexed and saddened by why I have a stomach, never had a stomach bulge until the last 3-4 months.

Great information. I used to exercise very intensely everyday ,thinking it would help my stress level.But I finally figured out that it was one of the main reason I was so stressed because it raised up my cortisol. Isn’t that ironic!!
Thanks for sharing. Unfortunately that’s a common scenario. Glad you changed things 👍🏻
