📌 A quick note from me before you watch!

I made this video back in May 2025, and my thinking has moved on quite a bit since then, especially around synthetic vitamins like ascorbic acid. Back then I was still recommending it. These days I'm not, because I've gone deeper into the Root Cause Protocol and how the body actually uses nutrients, and I see things differently now.

I've left this video up because the journey matters and I'd never pretend I had it all figured out from day one. Questioning everything, including my own past advice, is the whole point. If you want where I stand now, head to my newer videos on vitamin C and mineral balancing.

Thanks for being here and for keeping that curious mind switched on. My new website is at; emmavoyseyhealth.org 😊

Funny how the answer to our health problems won't clear our bank account.

Thank you Emma for this wonderful information. It's amazing how much I learn from you. I've been trying to put little things you've mentioned into my routine and I can see a big difference already. I've been on a carnivore diet for over a year and that's been wonderful but the little hints that you give along the way to make it better are amazing. Thank you so much for taking the time to create these videos. Just letting you know that they really help and you're an amazing communicator. ❤

I watched Dr Sarah on Jesse Chappus, she talked about Vit C. I started the next morning, got a bad headache all day, next day same happened but not quite so bad, third day, no headache. Also making Dr Davis's L-Reuteri yoghurt. Definitely my health has improved tremendously with all the protocols over the last several years I've put in place. I even survived Sepsis, it will be two years this August. Fermented food, Carnivore diet, no Oxylates, Redmond Real Salt, lots of water, exercise, sleep 8 hrs, multivitamin, multimineral, D3 & K2, zinc, dark chocolate, plus I make goat kefir with the grains from Cultures for Health, fabulous. Good luck to everyone with your journey, don't give up, it 'will' get better.

I had a holistic doctor that had me take 20 g of vitamin C before my dental appointment to having my mercury fillings removed because the first time I had them removed I got severely sick but taking 20 g of vitamin C every day for a week before my dental appointment made amazing Difference so I could have them all out all 28 of them. I’ve experienced the amazing benefits of vitamin C..

I remember meeting a doctor and mentioned leaky gut to him. He said in 35yrs of practice he'd never heard of the term and asked me what it was.

@deborahD1971 1 year ago

I was so excited to watch this! As you were talking and explaining, I am talking out loud saying that's me that's me! So many of the symptoms are exactly what I am dealing with! I can hardly wait to try this!

@dancocervei7907 10 months ago (edited)

You have no idea how much you helped me. I had some severe brain fog, couldn't even concentrate on this video had to watch it 3 times. I had positive test with methane and hidrogen SIBO and tried expensive protocol from functional medicine with oregano alicin and berberine and it didn't help but just masked simptoms. When i tried vitamine C flush and then small dose every day combined with carnivore diet and iodine life changed completely. Bloating gone, bad mood gone brain fog gone belching gone, i am different person now and introduced food back and do not have symptoms anymore. I almost forgot what is like to be healthy. God bless you!!!

Little update. Although it helped significantly iodine in overdose is not recommended, it will mess up your thyroids glands for a while or even forever so be careful what you do. I would go for normal antibiotics and biofilm disruptor like nac because not many alternatives you have. You fix one thing and damage another. Doctors aren't stupid they know consequences and therefore they won't give you iodine or vitamine c. So thyroid gland damage comes with Lost of appetite, some small panic attacks, they were swollen a bit but eventually it all disappeared but be careful. I would not do it again if i knew that iodine is dangerous)

Fasting is amazing at balancing mitochondria quickly, eliminating all issues, a clean slate to start over with amazing first step to recovery to doing all of the things that we’re learning to do once we have a clean slate to work with put me so much further down the road than I was before learning that I needed to start fresh with all of the good knowledge and all of the good things that I could do That didn’t work before I learned to start with a clean uncontaminated gut

@alionamarina7061 1 year ago

Thank you Emma , I learned something totally new from you. It does make so much sense ! Of course those bugs are messing up with us and we go to the docs for answers and they should know this! Learning at universities so long just to prescribe harmful chemicals.. vitamin c folks! And eating carnivore without carbs and sugars. In my case, i was super bloated and i tried carnivore and believe it or not but after 1 day no bloat and belly shrinking. Now i will take also vitamin C. You are an angel!

Dear Emma, this was a great way to present your story, and get your point acroos effectibely. Such a great relief from watching people preach from a desk into a computer screen. I have done the flush but am reluctant to go carnviore as i've been vegetarian for 30 years now.

Thanks for the walk and talk…New here from USA. Wonderful woods too.

Emma, I have struggled for YEARS (14…15…) with diagnosed SIBO, SIFO and leaky gut. Doctors have been zero help with expensive antibiotics and pricey natural alternatives. SIBO, SIFO, always came back. I resorted to Carnivore and Dr. Williams’ fermented dairy but now histamine intolerance has prevented even THAT. Down to zero foods at all that don’t cause every symptom you mention. You’ve been more help in this video than any doctor. And to think: simple and inexpensive VIT C is the root of the answer! 🙄 I’m so grateful for a real plan to eliminate SIFO/SIBO all once and for all.

Emma your channel deserves at least 1million subs i believe your get there. Your straight to the point which i love and so do most people.
Your like everyone's 2nd mum. Thankyou for what you do

@spacekees102 1 year ago

Thanks alot for sharing! Whenever I go low carb everything fades so I think I have this. Already cut gluten (which helps alot) but sugars and carbs are still problematic. It used to be way worse where I would get sick and go to bed after eating some bread. Hope everyone struggling with this finds a cure as it can go undiagnosed forever with the way docs work these days.
