With the new year approaching, and all of us still in the same boat - I decided to put together a protocol to fight this damn thing once and for all. I've been doing some research for the past few weeks and I have put together a guide that addresses the various areas of this issue [internal, mouth, and body]. I am thinking maybe the issue is that we have all tried many different things but maybe these things need to be combined and done systematically. It is also helpful to have something that spells out exactly DO THIS/DONT DO THIS or EAT THIS/DONT EAT THAT. After everything I have tried and researched, I really do believe it comes down to bacteria. The fact that most of us get temporary relief whenever we use antibiotics pretty much confirms that for me. But the problem is that those antibiotics have probably also killed off whatever good stuff we had in our body, and messed up the way our organs function naturally. Hence why it seems like the bb worsens over the years

So this plan will focus on first killing the bad bacteria in our body, then after try to build back the good bacteria. Gotta give a major shoutout to Beast for this post: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=7949 - it makes sense to do a cleanse, then follow it up with probiotics. And I think it is also very important to simultaneously eat a clean diet and maintain healthy lifestyle habits.
If anyone is ready and willing to be 100% committed to trying this out, please let me know! The important factor is that we must not slip up or have cheat days or anything during this period. That is why the start of the new year will be the perfect timing, so you can all get your binge eating/favorite foods etc out of the way by then. It won't be easy to do so as this means being very strict for 2 months, not being tempted and your symptoms might even get worse first before things get better. So it is very important to have that mindset that you must stick with this 100%. Ofcourse not guaranteeing this is going to be a cure or anything but hopefully this should be a good fix and hopefully get us to the point where we can socialize, etc. I think it is definitely worth it to give this a good try, and if anyone feels like they need the support - just let me know and we can support each other [maybe I'll start some type of group chat for us to motivate each other]. I myself will be journaling my progress through it all and commenting here with weekly updates.
Anyways, please see the below next post for the protocol and please let me know your thoughts. Good luck everyone, may 2023 be a year free from BB for all of us!
