Re: Mastic Gum temporarily ended my CFS, why would it stop working?

I've never gone long without animal protein.

Took essential fatty acids for a while without results, though, in those days I didn't have nearly as healthy a diet as I do today to keep the bad EFA's in check but the fact that I tried them several times for months each test makes me want to look elsewhere before going back that way.

The parasite cleanses I've done haven't shown results, I used a Black-Walnut /wormwood product by NOW as well as a combination product called humaworm. Spent a good time testing those parasite cleanses, something like months.

I never focused on H Pylori specifically with the exception of multiple Antibiotics my doctor had me on for a week. NAC and Mastic Gum I was testing to test and they showed results in their temporary way. NAC worked on and off for a week or few, specifically it often showed effects prominently after sexual activity during that time and often wouldn't show anything without said activity. On a side note, libido is low and has been for most of the time I've been in a chronically fatigued state. The NAC I took was from NOW and also contained some selenium, after that worked and ceased I eventually made it to tying Jarrow's sustained release NAC with no effects whatsoever. I used NOW NAC for over a month I believe and Jarrow's version for around two weeks. Mastic worked for more than a week then I stopped it for a week and a half or so and restarted it, when i did it showed effects but only for a few days before results ceased completely though I continued to take it for a week and a half or more. DGL also has H Pylori as one of its targets but it is still working as a medicine to this day and I don't know of any way to figure out why that is, could be it's working against pathogens or it could merely be anti-inflammatory or something else.

Right now I'm taking manuka honey which is supposed to have potential for eleminating H Pylori. I'm also taking Turmuric/Curcumin, Artichoke, and Royal Jelly/Propolis/Bee Pollen.

I wouldn't be trying so much at once but I'm running out of time before my living situation changes.

I've read that GSH is needed to eliminate copper and since one of the reasons for taking NAC is raising GSH I've been wondering if maybe I should look in that direction but I did try glycine and glutamine many years ago without results. Just found an old test result that has my Sulfate levels as being high, writes that this result indicates glutathione demand, and suggests taking Glutathione or NAC. I have taken glutathione as part of a combination supplement without results.

Another old test result indicated that I had elevated Xylene which is a solvent, don't know where the chemical came from though, it is quite possible that this is simply due to decreased detoxification. Unfortunately I've lost track of that test to be able to relay any other information of importance.

Are there any other pathogens besides CMV, EBV, Lyme, or HIV I should check?

If nothing comes up soon I might well send out for a heavy metal challenge test.
