“As many of you know, I've been repurposing HIV antiretroviral meds to treat my LC.
My energy and baseline have been slowly, consistently improving.
For everyone still asking me about my protocol, I put it all in one spot, where I can update as I go along.
My current meds: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d… My current supplements: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

“I'm improving!
I threw a bunch of shit at this out of desperation and something is working.
Taurine, NAC, CBC (cannabichromene), California poppy (it slows HR, not an opiate), and an herbal supplement with eluethero, reishi, holy basil, rhodiola, and schisandra.”
