HEART

1. DO NOT START ALL SUPPLEMENTS ON THE SAME DAY.

Start one at a time! And every 3 days, add the next one.

2. AT WHAT TIME AND IN WHAT DOSES SHOULD I TAKE THE SUPPLEMENTS?

Please read the supplement in the SHOP section of this page and your condition or diagnosis in the PROTOCOLS section.

3. CAN I TAKE SUPPLEMENTS IF I DO NOT SUFFER FROM ANY DISEASE?

YES . Supplements have both curative and preventative properties.

Magnesium + Lysine, Ormux, Vitamin D3 + MK4 and Vitamin C + Active B are a good way to start.

4. AT WHAT AGE CAN I TAKE SUPPLEMENTS?

You can take the supplements from the age of 18. Not before.

5. CAN I START 2 OR MORE PROTOCOLS AT THE SAME TIME?

Keep it simple. Start with one protocol first. Start with the simplest or most urgent one for you. If you have fatigue, depression, and/or a diagnosis of hypothyroidism, have your thyroid tested regardless of which protocol you choose. You can start other protocols a month later.

6. I can't swallow capsules. Can I pour out the contents and take them in a glass of water or juice?

Yeah.

7. CAN I TAKE THE SUPPLEMENTS IF I AM PREGNANT OR BREASTFEEDING?

NO.

You should wait until you give birth and are done breastfeeding to start supplements.

8. CAN I TAKE ALL THE SUPPLEMENTS TOGETHER?

Many protocols have more than five supplements. You can take all of them together; in fact, they're designed to work together.

However, it's recommended to start taking them one day apart to see the effect each one has on your body. Read the schedule indicated in the STORE section of each supplement and proceed accordingly. If you experience discomfort while taking a supplement, discontinue it and continue adding the following supplements.

9. ONE OF THE SUPPLEMENTS IS OUT OF STOCK. CAN I START THE PROTOCOL WITH THE REST?

Yeah.

Add the missing supplement(s) as soon as possible.

10. CAN I TAKE SUPPLEMENTS IF I AM RECEIVING CHEMOTHERAPY?

Consult your oncologist. Taking supplements is ideal alongside chemotherapy to prevent or reduce some of its side effects (increased magnesium requirements, nausea, immunosuppression, etc.).

However, many oncologists prohibit them because they believe they diminish the effectiveness of chemotherapy.

11. CAN YOU GIVE ME AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT IT WOULD BE LIKE TO TAKE SUPPLEMENTS WITH THE RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS PROTOCOL?

Magnesium + Lysine and Vitamin D3 + MK4 start on day 1, Ormux on day 2, Enzymes and Boron on day 3, Oregano oil on day 4, MSM 1/2 on day 5, increasing to 1 full dose starting on day 8. As we mentioned in the previous answer, to learn about dosages and schedules, you should read the STORE section for each supplement.

12. HOW LONG DOES TREATMENT WITH SUPPLEMENTS LAST?

It depends on what you want to achieve.

You can take supplements therapeutically or preventatively.

THERAPEUTICS generally for 4 months (see your condition in the PROTOCOLS section of this page).

PREVENTIVE on a chronic and continuous basis, according to the instructions in the STORE section of the supplement in question.

13. I've read the labels on each supplement and see that many are taken at different times. However, others are taken at the same time. Can I mix them and take them at the same time?

You can take the supplements at the same time. However, the effectiveness of the protocol will depend on whether you follow the instructions for each supplement in the STORE section.

Oregano oil, Ormux, and MSM can be mixed in a single glass of water or juice as long as they are started on different days. On the other hand, if you take Veltryx and Ormux, it is not recommended to do so at the same time. As a general rule, you should take Veltryx in the morning and Ormux in the afternoon.

14. I take a lot of medications. Does taking supplements affect my health?

You can and should continue taking your medications. Vitamins and minerals could be taken at the same time (magnesium, vitamin D, selenium, vitamin C).

Oregano, Ormux, and MSM are recommended to be taken at least one hour apart from your medications.

15. I take losartan, levothyroxine, prednisone, omeprazole, and lexotanil daily. On Mondays, I take methotrexate. Could you tell me what time and how much I should take these supplements for rheumatoid arthritis?

Levothyroxine and Losartan on an empty stomach upon awakening.

Half an hour later, take 1 capsule with at least 8 ounces of water or juice (cabbage or carrot) without eating anything solid for at least one hour.

Vitamin D3 +MK4 1 capsule before noon.

Prednisone at any time at least one hour after Levothyroxine.

Oregano, Ormux and MSM mid-morning and mid-afternoon (may coincide with prednisone).

Leflunomide half a day.

On Mondays (days you take Methotrexate) do not take Ormux or Oregano Oil.

Magnesium + Lysine 2 capsules at night.

16. I've read the instructions for each supplement and I see that there are some cases where they can't be taken with certain medications. Can you tell me which ones?

You should not take Ormux or Oregano Oil with:

Mycophenolate.

Quetiapine.

Mirtazapine.

Statins (cholesterol pills).

Tricyclic antidepressants.

Antifungals.

If you are taking Biologic medications such as Humira, Enbrel, and Rituximab, you may take Ormux and Oregano Oil as long as at least one week has passed since your last dose or injection of these medications and up to one day before.

17. I take Prozac (or Zoloft or Cymbalta). Can I take Ormux?

Yes, you can, but at different times. For example, if you're prescribed Prozac (Fluoxetine) in the morning, you'd take Ormux in the afternoon.

18. I'M HAVING SURGERY IN TWO WEEKS. SHOULD I STOP TAKING SUPPLEMENTS?

Yes. Stop taking them two weeks in advance and resume them starting three weeks after surgery, once you're off antibiotics and painkillers.

If your surgery was on your brain, discontinue supplements for 6 months.

19. I WANT TO GO OFF MY MEDICINES! I'VE SEEN MANY HEALING TESTIMONIALS IN WHICH PEOPLE NO LONGER TAKE THEM AND ARE DOING GREAT WITH SUPPLEMENTS ONLY. CAN I DO THE SAME?

Many treating physicians lower or eliminate medications for their patients when they see improvement with the protocol. This will depend on the disappearance of their symptoms.

Continuing with the rheumatoid arthritis example, if while taking your medication your pain, limitation of movement and inflammation were 10 out of 10 (maximum expression) and now with the supplements it drops to 1 or 2 or 5, your doctor could decide to make the change.

20. MY DOCTOR JUST PRESCRIBED ME ON A NEW MEDICINE, AND I HAVEN'T START THE SUPPLEMENTS YET. CAN I START BOTH AT THE SAME TIME?

Don't start supplements at the same time as a new medication. Start the new medication prescribed by your doctor first, then start supplements two weeks later. This way, you'll know if you experience side effects with either medication.

21. MY DOCTOR JUST PRESCRIBED ME ON ANTIBIOTICS, AND I HAVEN'T START SUPPLEMENTS YET. CAN I START BOTH AT THE SAME TIME?

Don't start taking supplements until you've finished taking your new antibiotics. This way, you'll know if the antibiotics are causing any discomfort.

22. I suffer from pain, fatigue, depression, and hair loss. I already have the supplements. Any recommendations?

Yes. Start supplementation as soon as possible and have the following blood tests done or updated as soon as possible:

TSH

Prolactin

Iron

Anti TPO Antibodies

23. DO I HAVE TO HAVE BLOOD TESTS TO TAKE SUPPLEMENTS?

NO.

You can take the supplements without having blood tests.

However, if you have been receiving Methotrexate or Leflunomide or Statins or Rituximab or Enbrel or Humira (drugs that are potentially toxic to the liver, kidneys and bone marrow), start taking the supplements and repeat the general blood tests as soon as possible so that you know your starting point.

24. WHAT IS 5X5 🥕 ?

The 5X5 🥕 consists of drinking one and a quarter liters of Carrot Juice per juicer daily for 5 consecutive days. For indications and contraindications, read 5X5 🥕 at viveprimal.com

25. CAN I START MY SUPPLEMENTS ALONG WITH THE 5X5 🥕 ?

Yeah.

26. I DON'T LIKE CARROT JUICE! DO I NEED TO DO THE 5X5 🥕 TO BE ABLE TO TAKE THE SUPPLEMENTS?

No. The effect of the supplements is independent of that of the juices. You can take the supplements without drinking the juices.

27. TO TAKE SUPPLEMENTS, DO I HAVE TO GIVE UP DAIRY, GRAINS, CEREALS, AND SEEDS?

No.

The effect of supplements does not depend on diet.

28. IN WHICH CASES IS IT RECOMMENDED TO ELIMINATE DAIRY PRODUCTS, GRAINS, CERALS AND SEEDS?

To do the 5x5 🥕 , to correct leaky gut, and some protocols based on your medical condition. See the Protocols section on this page.

29. I took a supplement and it made me sick. Should I stop taking it or is it part of the process?

Must fail.

You should discontinue use if symptoms worsen or appear new. You may experience a healing crisis or paradoxical effects, or be allergic to any of the ingredients.

To learn how to proceed after suspension, see the supplement section.

30. I've been taking the supplements for a month and I haven't seen any improvement. Why?

Supplements are part of a protocol. They are not the protocol itself. To assess what might be missing, read the Protocols section.

31. I'm taking the supplements, but I have questions. Is there a social media platform I can use to contact Dr. Johnson?

There are countless videos on various social media platforms that don't feature Dr. Johnson. Many even falsely impersonate him.

The only social media platform Dr. Johnson uses to respond is his Instagram account @ludwigjohnson. Please note that all questions are answered as quickly as time permits.

32. I urgently need an appointment with Dr. Johnson. Where can I make one?
