for those of you with a PICC line, there is a product called "Lipstabil N".
it is for i.v use and comes in small 5 ml vials.
basically, it is phosphatidyl choline in liquid form.
it helps detox and brain fog symptoms. the problem is that it is expensive and slightly tricky to administer.
it is $75 for 5 vials, and it only comes from europe, germany i think.
google the product name and you can get info on it.
my doctor's office orders it and sells it without marking it up.
i hear that it helps with parkinson's tremors in an amazing way.
i have used it and it does help reduce confusion and memory loss.

Lipostabil is administered with a certain exact protocol, mixed into freshly drawn blood and infused with another substance, and should not be done through a PICC Line.
We have done many of them without any noticable benefits. Others report benefits. But it has to be done with extreme care.
Take care.

when the nurses at my doctor's office showed me how to use it, i simply drew back my own blood back into the syringe with the lipostabil, mixed it and pushed it back in.
they instructed me with my PICC line and there was no problem.
i am still currently using it without any difficulty.
it is always interesting how we all have such divergent experiences.

Dr P.K. who introduced this product to the U.S. I think did not have a problem using the Lipostabil with a PICC line. Hubby had an appointment with her once.
Prices sure have gone up -- hubby used to buy this for $25 per box or $5 per vial. A doc used to be able to write a scrip and you could order directly from Switzerland yourself -- but customs put a stop to that several years ago.
I do think adding in the glutathione to the protocol does make it more effective.
Hubby could never afford the high doses P.K. wanted him to do, but it did lower his GGT to normal. Did feel this protocol was helpful. But remember that this is for detox and rebuilding the good fats and does not kill Lyme or other tickborne diseases.
The liquid phosphatidylcholine sold by P.K. at her website does seem to be one of the better quality products on the market. But at 1 tablespoon daily it costs about $150 per month.
