Please use what you sense is helping and stop whatever doesn't agree with you. Add whatever you choose in stepwise fashion. Space out as much as possible. Do vtamins early in day. You don't want to be too hyped at night.
1. Beef Liver (Ancestral Supplements) increase slowly. I do 2 to 3 a day. Supplier suggests 6/day.
2. OLLY prenatal vitamin gummies (Walmart) I take 2 to 4/day
3. Vit C I use patchaid C + patches and double (2/day) (easier on my stomach than the liposomal Dr. Mercola C, which I also use
4. NMN any brand, double or triple dose
5. D3 +K2 Patchaid, double
6. Taurine (Now brand) + boron 3mg (any brand) times 2/day spaced out empty stomach
7. Vit B 12 patch (Patchad) double patch/day
There is much more, but try whatever you think may be helpful and then get back to me. Watch out for any discomfort and immediately slow down or stop using. Please keep in touch to let me know if anything seems to be helping. I was Modrna vaccine injured and went from not being able to hold my head up in bed to the ability to stay awake and upright for as long as I wanted to. Nap days followed doc appointments. I'm 90 yo, on crutches. What are your specific symptoms? I hope you feel better soon and can once agan enjoy lfe.

After the 2 "pneumonia " scares, the 2nd one presented with septic shock. I was in danger of losing my life. After intubation, being transported to a big city hospital, undergoing a bronchoscopy and battery of tests (which were all inconclusive) they did a ct of my kidneys and found they were functioning at 18%. After I required less 02 and stabilized I was sent back to my local hospital where I was put on amoxiclav for a month. Released 0ct 2.
Despite sitting up for all meals, or being in a chair at their insistence I was not getting stronger. My breathing was awful and no way even with practice could I fill my lungs. Yet my cough was dry. I got the 6 min walk before discharge and all the RT said was "you dont need home oxygen and theres a code blue called so I have to go". The doc who did the bronchoscopy said nothing seemed out of the ordinary. He confessed to not knowing what was wrong. The only thing I knew was there was ground glass opacities on the ct. At home my lungs felt the same despite using the thing you blow into with the ball inside and walking to the bathroom - but really out of breath. After I walked to the kitchen I'd have to sit. I couldnt leave the apartment, the main doors were too far. Heart rate darted up with any movement and walking it was 130+. It frightened me so I basically stayed in bed a lot and became totally deconditioned. In mid November I had enough and pushed through the fear. I had flashbacks of my heart rate being 140 the night before I went septic and here it was again. I also incorporated some exercises from a video from a pulmonologist. That really helped! I did the exercises daily and walked more, did small chores. Now I'm out of bed about 85% of the day compared to 10% which was what I did for a month. I'm eating a lot of fish, chicken, veg, no salt, no sugar, healthy fats, and anti inflammatory food for gut health. Lost 50 lbs but because this "thing" took me down without warning both times, I want to lessen the chance of it happening again. They say 1/3 of sepsis survivors will have a repeat within a year.
