Lactoferrin


Hopela

Recommended Posts

There are so many supplements out there it's hard to know which ones to prioritize. I recently found one that might have a spot on the list called Lactoferrin, a protein found in milk binding to iron. It's especially highly concentrated in colostrum, the first milk that mammalian babies get. So the background story for it is that it makes sense as a supportive substance.

 

I'll make a short case for it's relevance to withdrawal:

 

 

There's presumably a risk lactoferrin could do too much to an unstable system, but the search does not indicate so, even if an intial bad reaction can be had.

 

I do not really consider myself in withdrawal anymore although I think my sleep will continue to improve. Ideally I want the health trajectory that starts with withdrawal recovery to surpass in the long term the health trajectory I was on when put on the drugs in the first place. Based on what i've found im considering trying lactoferrin enhanced bovine colostrum as a supplement.

 

A week of oxazepam 10mg with 1 day of zopiclone 7.5mg and concurrent Zyprexa totalling: 10mg 25 days , 7.5mg 18 days, 5mg 14 days, 2.5mg 11 days,  10x0mg + 4x1mg. Very bad condition reinstated: zyprexa 7.5mg zopiclone 8.5mg, 25mg Propiomazine. Next day 5mg Z. Then 6 months taper to nothing but Zyprexa and 0.0mg again. 6 days 0mg. Reinstated 0.12mg x2 days. 23 june: 0.25mg. 29 june: 0.12mg. 8th and 9th july 2020 also tried 0.375mg Melatonin. 9 july 0.16mg. Made an error of judgement in august and was forced on various drugs in hospital mainly landing on: Abilify injections + pills for a daily total of 5-15 mg (for 2½ month) + zyprexa 3 days of 10mg mostly 2.5mg but started cheating. 14 oct 2020 only zyprexa and due to cheating earlier able to go 0.31mg! 30 oct 0.21mg, 13 nov 0.14mg, 28 nov 0.10mg, 14 dec 0.07mg, 04 jan 2021 0.035mg, 25 jan 0.017mg, 4 feb 2021 0.000 mg
