@mspaminreno Because I have tried so many different interventions, all overlapping, it is impossible to say with certainty which helped and which were a waste of money. One product I do swear by is a probiotic, VSL#3 (Google it for website and ordering). I've had gut issues all my life (IBS) and a gastroenterologist many years ago turned me onto VSL#3. There is enough research now into LC to suggest that a healthy gut is crucial for immune response. There are a zillion probiotics out there but this one is the gold standard. You might consider this, especially if you LC symptoms include GI issues... We are all guinea pigs when it comes to LC. And, sadly, because there are no science recognized, tested, and approved treatments there are many individuals and businesses that seek to profit from the vacuum. Some are well intentioned, others simply out to make a buck. Anyway, don't give up. Best to everyone!

@greenshade
Thank you so much for this recommendation. I'll check it out.

@greenshade I might suggest one more supplement. Years ago I had used glutathione patches after knee surgery to assist with muscle healing with great success but these get expensive over time. Glutathione worked as an option to reduce pain my lower body joints and muscles, so I understood when my doctor said I should try the patches because the fat cells in my body were likely storage containers for the fragments of spike proteins (diagnosed with first ever 'fatty liver' without the normal causations of liquor use and blood lipids). My T-Cells (CD-8) had been nearly depleted by the spike protein and this stopped the normal purging process for dead cell fragment elimination by the liver. When the liver could not handle removal, fragments were then being stored throughout my body. It's been 6 months, one capsule first thing in the morning prior to eating anything with 12 ounces of distilled water. I have improved to the point where I no longer feel like my lower body had been run over by a truck on a daily basis.
