8. (this is quite recent): Nicotine protocol, followed by choline supplementation. I felt quite unsure about trying this until my doctor brought it up without any prompting from me, and the last few months after doing it have shown sustained baseline improvement, like holy wow I can drive?!?!

They are doing different things. Nicotine is more powerful and has effects on multiple systems. Some people take both but you have to be careful to not cause a Cholinergic crisis of too much acetylcholine.
If receptors are blocked... nicotine will do a lot more than mestinon.

Thanks for the response. About 50% of Olympic athletes use some form of nicotine (usually low dose). Maybe this will appear in your data in the future.
Hopefully, this can then give some insight for those of us using it as a treatment for disease.🙂

Go by feeling. Maybe you need one week... maybe six months.
A 3-day break is enough to reset receptors. You will miss it less and less and eventually stop when it feels right.
Some use it regularly for ADHD or other reasons.

Great talk! So many topics covered in a holistic way and backed up by data. Thanks!
If you have any input on the good or bad of low-dose nicotine patches, I would love to hear it. We use it for #MECFS and #LongCovid, but ... there are other benefits

How is the experiment going? I hope that all is well!
We just published some new research!

Viel trinken. Ehrlich gesagt glaube ich nicht an die Theorie mit den freigesetzten Spikes. Es gibt ein Paper, die haben versucht, Spikes an diese Rezeptoren zu binden, die gingen da gar nicht so ran. Nikotin stimuliert das Immunsystem. Das ist irgendwie kaputt und braucht einen Anstoß. Denke ich.

Nice to hear!

Interesting... a couple of people have mentioned this...but it does not seem very common. I wonder what it is caused by?
Maybe it is just due to a change in how the receptors work.
