@PsychedelicEagle I think 92ng/ml

When I was vegetarian it was 8 🥹 

It seems I am not able to absorb some types of iron, as I was as getting a lot in my diet (non heme). I added wild kangaroo into my diet 3x a week and my levels shot up quickly. I notice a huge difference between kangaroo meat and beef/veel/lamb digestion, energy and overall health wise. I think the wild culling for consumption (not farmed) makes a difference in can perceive, health wise. 

Got to drink the blood of the animal, my local farm sells grass fed pigs blood. Theres so much heme iron in it you can easily overdose and it doesnt cause digestion stress like supplements.

This is the same health condition I've struggled with.

Carnivore diet was the most effective. Eating standard health foods with a leaky gut causes more harm than good.

Low dose naltrexone (LDN) is also effective at curtailing immune system overreaction.

Has he tried LDN? That's a low hanging fruit.

If Bryan has an autoimmune disorder, there is no way he is even in the top 20% of healthy people on this planet. None of his gimmickry can overpower a proper autoimmune disorder. You can't supplement or diet your way out of it.

What’s your diet like now?

It is not strictly carnivore because it is just impossible to sustain carnivore-only for 5 years straight.

But my ideal diet is carnivore. The closer to carnivore I eat, the better I feel.

Carnivore is also pricey on the budget. I don't want to spend too much money on food.

liquid or pills? I was using floridix floravital for 6 months which took my ferratin from 8 -> 24 but couldn't move the needle past that point without red meat.  Pills make me severely constipated.

Pills. For me they seem to work OK. Every other day, I'm taking a 22.5mg elemental iron supplement with iron glycinate and lactate — it seems smoother on the digestive tract. But thanks for the tip — I hadn't considered liquid form — it could also be easier in not needing to time it with meals.

Interesting alternative indeed — I've heard of this protocol in the past.

Have you had success using it yourself, @Leo Gura?

Yes. It is one of the only things that I tried that worked.

It is not 100% effective. Maybe 50% effective for me. But that 50% is a life-changer.

I think the problem is that the body develops tolerance to any chronic medicine after months of daily use. LDN seems to become less effective over time.

Good to hear.

Makes sense. Could it also be a drift off your individual's optimal dose, i.e., have you tried lowering or raising the dose, or cycling the medication? Anyway, I'm not a doctor, just reasoning around it from the little mechanistic understanding I have: briefly blocking receptors to create a compensatory upregulation. So each person should have their individual sweet spot between blocking too much or blocking too little, that can fluctuate over time.
