Anemia of inflammation is a common condition experienced by those who suffer from chronic illnesses, such as mold exposure, ME / CFS, or Long Covid. Elevations in Hepcidin, induced by elevations in the inflammatory marker IL-6, lower absorption of dietary iron.

Understanding and testing for C. Difficile involves more than just going to your M.D. Through targeted testing, dietary changes, probiotics, herbs, and even phage therapy, you can support your body in reducing the risk of C. Difficile overgrowth while enhancing overall gut health. Learn about the most damaging metabolites of C. Difficile - and what they do to your metabolic’s.

High serum B12 in chronic illness might reflect a deficiency caused by oxidative stress, deficiencies in B2, Glutathione, Molybdenum, Iodine, sulfur, or Selenium. Aberrant excess nitric oxide from nNOS (NOS1) and iNOS (NOS2) degrades B12 rendering it useless. Hydroxocobalamin inhibits nNOS (NOS1) and iNOS (NOS2). nNOS and iNOS are often upregulated from bacterial and viral infections, and a cascade of inflammation starting in the microbiome. Lowering oxidative stress with a diet rich in anti oxidants can be helpful too.
