Summary

After the antibiotic Ciprofloxacin, Cedar 23991's 'whole body fell apart' and they were mostly bedridden for about a year. They were unsure how they got out of it and listed a chewable multivitamin, NAC with selenium and molybdenum, flaxseed oil, fatty cheese and a meat- and fat-heavy diet among what they did. Later they took nattokinase products for suspected clots in the arms and lungs, which may have cleared, perhaps with time.
