    Yes absolutely! cellular drainage (using homeopathics), clean diet, etc can shrink cysts until they fully disappear. I always advise trying natural remedies before opting for surgery, unless it is advised otherwise.

    HNMT converts histamine to N-methylhistamine. The methyl group donation is from SAMe (this is an interesting role for SAMe in people with histamine problems. You’ll sometimes see that adding SAMe can be useful in these individuals, particularly if they have snp’s related to folate and B12 that make it hard for them to make SAMe).

    HNMT scavenges intracellular histamine, not extracellular histamine, so for people for whom mast cell degranulation and histamine release is an issue, this may be less of a factor. Still, if the patient is struggling, it’s worth seeing if SAMe is useful.

    yes they are 100% side effect free but they can be taken too much and cause imbalances if taken too long. unda1 is fine to continue taking if you change the other #s.

    yes and no. UNDAs are one tiny aspect of homeopathy. there are gemmos, phytogens, tissue salts, oligos, single remedies, organos, etc. Vitex is a great herb when taken correctly and only when needed. if the dosage isnt right or if its taken when not needed, it van cause imbalances. yes i prefer tinctures always over capsules. Yes taking BW alone is fine. yes follow bottle dosage for all supplements.

    For HPV, t would be appropriate to consider supporting the parts of the immune response that are particularly importantly involved in anti-viral surveillance, which would be support for the Th1 response (typically done with berberine, baicalin, ginger, and sulforaphane), and support for NK cell response (typically done with astrgalus, andrographis, and reishi aka ganoderma). Also supporting methylation is essential !

    Aside from systemic treatment, Ive heard of people using interferon that is given vaginally. it’s interferon alpha-2. And often people use Epigen spray 0,1%.

    With any cancer risk, You want to support for Th1 response and NK cell response. Direct antiviral measures would also be very suitable for HPV. In that regard, licorice (which is what the Epigen MS refers to is based on, for example) can be of substantial utility, as would other natural substances like vitamin A. It’s also noteworthy that viral replication includes an NFkB dependent step, so some amount of downregulation of NFkB would be suitable to consider. The tricky part there is that too much of this would engender a tolerogenic shift, so you don’t want to flood the person with curcumin. You could consider 500mg tid, but watch the TGFb level to see if you’re pushing TGFb up.

    See my other comments about TGFb in one of the other threads to get a sense of the balance there and of GSH related inhibition of TGFb. I would strongly consider giving GSH glutathione and not giving NAC, to avoid NAC fueling an increase in tolerogenic TGFb levels. You don’t want a lot of tolerogenic signaling in a case like this. If you are taking NAC, watch the lab TGFb levels because if they go up, you can tip towards Th2 dominance.

    Another risk factor for persistent high-risk HPV infections and dysplasia/cervical cancer is dysbiosis in the vaginal microbiome. This actually is a risk factor for other STIs as well. vaginal probiotic suppositories can be helpful.

    I would want to know more about a specific case before venturing a thought about what dose would be suitable.
    Generally, resveratrol will tend to reduce inflammation. An important part of how it does this is by promotion of sirtuins. SIRT2 induces deacetylation of alpha tubulin, the effect of which is to inhibit inflammasome assembly. This can be profoundly quieting of inflammation. That might be suitable in a lupus patient or anyone with autoimmune.

    If you have particular papers about immune-stimulating effects or other effects, you’re welcome to post links here, so everyone can see what you have in mind.

    Herbs are quite hard on the liver as they require  alot of effort to be broken down and utilized and sometimes come with side effects. For this reason i dont recommend starting off with herbs. However if you arent able to get homeopathics (they are usually available in every country, just different brands), i would start with the below protocol for the liver/kidneys which is gentle and might not give you the results that homeopathics would but is certainly better than nothing 🙂

    *follow bottle dosages*

    -NAC (or glutathione)

    -Dandelion tincture (or capsule)

    -Liquid chlorophyll

    -Aloe vera gel (fresh from leaf or supplement form)

    -Probiotics (at least 50 billion human strains cfu)

    -Digestive enzymes (pancreatic)

    -Hot lemon water (drink through straw)

    -Choline and Bvitamins (helps support liver funciton)

    You would need to find a homoepathic practitioner in your country to work with you as homeopathics are very specific and there are thousands to choose form. If youre doing homeopathic cleansing then no you can begin candida cleanse right away however if you’re doing herbs or the protocol above, you would want to wait at least 2 weeks to a month before beginning candida cleansing.

    Green juice cleansing can be very beneficial but it may flare up your digestive issues so be careful with that.

    Hello!

    yes you can certainly work on multiple things at one time. Typically start with liver/kidney and colon (candida cleansing) and once that has been done for several months, a lot of times the other symptoms, hormonal issues and digestive issues that you had are gone and whatever is left, you can address then. You cant heal the gut if you have inflammation in the colon so a colon cleanse has to come before gut-selling phase. Once you’ve done at least 90 days of candida cleansing, you can continue liver/kidney support while working on balancing hormones, improving digestion further, healing leaky gut and anything else you would want to address 🙂
