1. I’ve continued daily practices from Year Four to experience another year without being sick! I’ll get a set of Labcorp tests in a week to see if anything is sneaking up on me.
Really think that Brassica clinical trials should last years, not weeks. Once people get over the fact that broccoli, red cabbage, and mustard sprouts will never taste good because their compounds are plants’ defenses against predators, they’ll overlook that in favor of health benefits. Avena sativa oat sprouts don’t have a palatability problem.
2. Daily supplements have changed a little:
- Started taking a quercetin supplement suggested in a comment to Year One as helpful for seasonal allergies (it doesn’t do that for me). Repeatedly rinsing and soaking the salt out of capers for quercetin content became too much of a nuisance, and the results didn’t always taste right;
- Stopped taking Prodrome supplements because of unsustainable high costs;
- Started taking Ovega 3 algae oil DHA 420 mg/EPA 140 mg twice a day in their place;
- Substituted flax oil 1400 mg once a day for Balance oil;
- Started taking 2 g magnesium L-threonate;
- Upped taurine intake from 5 to 6 grams;
- Upped D3 by 25 mcg to a daily 4400 IU;
- Reduced chondroitin sulfate by 1.8 g since my joints are doing fine;
- Stopped soy lecithin in favor of eating three raw eggs.
3. I injured my left shoulder in May 2024 by overdoing upper body exercises, and stopped seven months to recover. Gained thirty pounds during that layoff, and have worked off ten pounds with new routines since then.
I’m no longer dogmatic about aerobic exercise / beach walks. I’ll go over to the beach before sunrise when it isn’t raining or windy, or wait until the afternoon for weather to improve, rather than walk 30 minutes a day irregardless.
Surface Your Real Self 
I don’t know your background, but I presume you’re a researcher. Prodrome supplements ARE prohibitively expensive BUT they have a practitioner discount and, at least a few years ago, they were someone lenient with who qualified. I’ve met several non-clinical research PhDs who have “practitioner account” with hefty discounts, as does my boyfriend who is in med school. We get 60% off, but I think they dropped the discount slightly for new practitioners a year or two ago, but it’s still much better than the standard 25%. It may be worth reaching out to ask! https://prodrome.com/pages/prodrome-practitioners
I did the updated BioScan last month, and will get results tomorrow from the practitioner I used. If he isn’t sufficiently explanatory, Wednesday’s BioScan webinar can maybe provide additional details. Prodrome wouldn’t send results to me directly. 😦
That’s awesome! I hope you see some exciting changes in your scan. I’ll be curious to read about the results, if you plan to share. That’s really a bummer that Prodrome wouldn’t provide the report to you, through I suppose it’s so average Joe with no scientific training isn’t trying to self-interpret the data. I last ran mine 5 years ago but, as much as I would love to see the data, the data won’t change my actions so I can’t justify funneling fund from the (what I’ve found to be) effective treatment data to interesting data. 😅
Hi Erin! I got a copy of the results from my provider.
No analysis or interpretation from him, though. Apparently, the BioScan rollout preceding information about providers interpreting it for patients.
To be fair, there are new sections compared to ProdromeScan. For example, these sections:
3. Ethanolamine phospholipid indices – seven items
4. Lysoplasmalogen ethanolamines – five items
7. Choline phospholipid indices – seven items
8. Lysophosphatidylcholines – six items
12. Mitochondrial function (PC) – four items
15. Sphingomyelins/Ceramides – 15 items
I can guess how to read these, but it would be better if there would be a training video at least.
Hey there! That’s quite exciting, though I would be disappointed if my provider didn’t provide an analysis or interpretation. Hopefully, they’ll roll out a training video soon, so you can dig in and really understand the data you’re looking at.
