You have inspired me to look into Berberine further as a potential ‘treatment’ for my son who has suffered since childhood from multiple IgE mediated food allergies. Some resolved but others have persisted. Teenagers are fast and loose about carrying epipens and if there is a way to reduce his ongoing risk and make life more easy going and manageable for him, well that is a dream come true! Thank you.

As always thank you for your tireless work to illuminate the pathways (both light and dark) that are before us these days. It’s truly amazing to me how one dedicated man, seeking truth, can find so many helpful protocols and sources for a variety of what ails us; yet those who control the systems of the world are either actually clueless and feeble-minded, or nefariously pretending to be for dark purposes…so both come up empty-handed more often than not. Just imagine what could be if the goal was actually to help humanity in these dire times!

If the goal was to actually help people, the pandemic would last barely 4 months =(.

I think it is definitely worth a shot but it takes a few weeks to have any perceptible effect, the drawback of natural supplements.

From scientific evidence, it definitely can help and ameliorate IgE mediated immune states. Hope it helps him.

Grateful for this new piece of the puzzle, thank you. Just realised that I posted twice, was doing it from my phone and and it said the message failed :/

Ranger, what kind of ear problems is your husband having? I have tinnitus and it is SO annoying. I have tried everything to get rid of it including acupuncture which did nothing for that issues, but did clear up some skin issues.

Do you have a particular Berberine supplement you think is effective?

My husband had tinnitus for years and now it is gone. We think the main reason is that we have gotten rid of all the EMF in our home. We use wired internet instead of wireless, landline phone (not cordless), no tv, microwave etc. Using a meter we have no measure of emf in our home. I dont have a cell phone any longer, husband has one for when away from the house. We dont have a "smart" home, we have a dumb home. We are in our mid 60's and think this has really been an important part of staying healthy. We did it step by step and it wasnt hard for us at all and we are so happy we did it.

Interesting. I didnt even know people could get landlines anymore! thanks for your advice.

Yes, we have it thru our cable company and bought the corded phone on amazon. A cordless phone can have as much radiation as a cell phone. Another thing we did years ago is opt out of the smart meter that the electric company uses on your house to read your meter from afar. The company sends someone out monthly to read our meter in person. We are in AZ and it is only a $5 monthly charge. We have talked to the meter readers a few times and they thanked us for doing this as it helps them keep their jobs plus said quite a few in our area do this.

thank you for the info. I doubt we will be able to take the meter off of our house because we live in the country and to be honest we dont have anyone walking by to check out meters.

My husband needs the internet and his phone to work AND he doesn't believe there is anything wrong with 5g technology or that we are getting EMF through our lifestyle so I am sure how I will convince him otherwise.

I do appreciate all of your info though!

I noticed someone asking about hair loss I can’t say anything because my husband is already bold he started shaving his hair long ago 🤣 and I just started berberine about a month now so I can’t really say that I’m losing hair.(sorry). We get the berberine at the natural store or sometimes amazon he started with super berberine now we just get berberine 500mg. We use jarrow, now, loriant health, Swanson or bio Schwartz supplements. I hope this helps & wish you get better soon ❤️

How often do people take berberine? Just when sick with covid?

It says hair loss as a side effect? Is that true? Does it cause woman to lose hair?

Expand full comment
Moriarty's avatar

Daily. Or cycling (on and off). Yes and no, it is very hormone dependent, depends literally the hormonal state of the person. It can cause man lose hair, couldn't find anything about woman losing hair.

My husband looked it up for the fun of it and we have been taking this Berberine for 5 years. I have had only one supplement cause hair loss and that was L-Carnosine. This was last year and noticed it quickly as it was a new one for us and stopped and then the hair loss stopped soon after so I knew it was that supplement.

I’m so curious as to how this may help other autoimmune diseases. One of my fave people has what I truly believe is vaccine-induced (flu & perhaps shingles vax, and possibly HPV 😡) Rheumatoid Arthritis. She’s also been vaxxed 3-4x w/ this horrendous MRnA vax. She’s gone downhill since then. Any help you can pls point me toward would be greatly

appreciated.

Both of these are a great starting point, and I cite RA in a few of the things linked inside. Berberine can definitely help, the entire stack can especially after mRNA induced dysfunction.

If they used a different class of antibody, would it produce active immunity that lasts after the passive immunity from the antibodies wears off? It seems like using IgG4 monoclonals could cause the reverse so that users if they get COVID become immunotolerant to it and therefore become dependent on antibody treatments. Same happens with pseudouridine substituted mRNA vaccines.

Why couldn’t vaccines be made out of virus particles or proteins opsonized with antibodies (not IgG4) so that the viral proteins don’t exert their toxic effects or stimulate an adverse immune reaction?

Not trying to undermine your arguments with respect to metformin and berberine but with vitamin D there is a simple solution that is readily available, known and complete.

1) Walter Chesnut had a post Jan. 24 on spike protein causing premature aging due to interference with DNA transcription. Does metformin interfere with that mechanism, or is the effect independent?

2) One of my diabetic friends the other day asked me about berberine for his management. In looking through some research, I found mostly Chinese papers, it looked at least equivalent to metformin , possibly with a better mechanism.

1) Walter is often wrong, or tangentially right for shooting everywhere (this one rarely) and the premature aging is completely wrong.

Also yes, Metformin and antioxidants will help with any DNA "thingie". Since Walter is a literal leech I won't correct where exactly he got it wrong, but I assure you, it isn't how he described.

2) Correct, Berberine is sometimes even superior to metformin in a context dependent manner. Metformin is just easier for me to get, but most people in the first world should stick to Berberine, and yes you can use Berberine to manage diabetes, but I would first change diet, than start the supplement.

So...does that make the IgG3 shift neither good nor bad but a trade-off depending on how far things "shift"?

IgG4 is neither good nor bad, correct, it is a literal trade-off.
