I used to average around a gallon of liquid per day. Half of it came from water, the other half from soups, tea, coffee, soda etc.

I have a number of very well pronounced B12 deficiency symptoms and am wondering if I was depleting my B12 with high water intake for the last 15 years?

From what I understand B12 is stored in liver, so at a 1st glance the answer to my question is no, water intake doesn’t have a direct impact on B12 stores. But what is weird is that after I reduced my water intake and started taking B12 supplement I felt a very strong energy boost. I tried B12 many times before while drinking a lot of liquid and never had such noticeable improvement in energy levels.

Wondering if daily water intake does have some sort of an impact on B12 after all?

Unfortunately my sleep is off due to RLT. I experimented with distance from the panel, light strength and duration. At 2 minutes in early AM with lights at 20% and sitting 50 inches away I sleep ok. However at this point I practically don’t feel any benefit from the session. I’m doing RLT for mitochondrial health and sleep issues aside I really feel the charge, which is why I don’t want to give up on it.

I want to continue experimenting with individual wavelengths. There are articles online suggesting to go for 810/850 in order to reduce the stimulating effect. I guess I’ll need to try all of them individually at different strength/distances to find out if one particular combination of settings will work for me.

Anyone tried doing something similar to minimise impact on sleep quality?

Right after Covid my health started going downhill. At first glance my combination of triggers and symptoms suggest that I have MCAS, plus I did respond well to mast cell stabilisers.

My main issue right now is muscle fatigue. A simple walk up the stairs will make me exhausted. However things change drastically when I’m on a vacation. Within minutes of being in the hot sun I turn into my normal self and can swim, run, cycle, hike all day long. Literally after 5 minutes of being in the sun at above +25C, which quite frankly is absolutely mind blowing.

After realising that I got myself a red-light panel (a really good one that checks all the boxes) and it works in the exactly same way - just a 2-3 minute session and I’m full of energy for the next 12 hours. The caveat is that it ruins my sleep. It does it to a lesser degree when I turn the power down and sit 50 inches away from the panel. But then the impact goes down too and I don’t feel as good.

I thought it was Vitamin D at first, but then after days of reading my guess is the mitochondria. Sunlight triggers them to produce ATP which is why I’m getting the improvement from both the sun and RLT, bearing in mind that RLT has no impact on Vit D.

What I don’t understand is why mitochondrias refuse to be as effective without hot summer sun/RLT exposure? And secondly why issues with sleep after red-light - MCAS reaction to stimulation? Too much ROS after a boost in ATP production?

I rrrrealy don’t want to surrender myself to the disease so am constantly reading, analysing and experimenting.

Multiple dental cavitation surgeries, relocation to a low pollen/pollution area, low histamine diet and extensive dry fasting are helping to maintain an adult lifestyle, however I’m far from being 100%.
