Re: I have MCS symptoms back after two rounds of ALA??

[Guest guest]

Look, I don't even _begin_ to know the biochemistry of Andy - but I'd

suggest that when you're chelating, your liver is working overtime, and

so your ability to detox other substances might be compromised. It

certainly fits in the general framework where we understand that

symptoms can be provoked during chelation.

Perhaps you want to go to Onibasu.Com and see if you can find any

discussion, particularly by Andy, of exacerbated MCS symptoms during ALA

chelation?

I have been taking niacinamide and grapefruit juice for my MCS over the

last 5 months. IT has helped immensely

However over the last two weeks which coincidentally is when I added

ALA to the equation (and I do not know if this is the causative factor)

my sensitivities to chemicals has heightened

I was wondering if anyone else has experienced such happenings

Thanks

Are you taking milk thistle for liver support??

I have found that MCS is related to the liver being unable to handle

daily exposure to toxins and thus you become sensitive to them. With

the addition of milk thistle daily (four times a day) I have seen my

MCS get better. While it's not entirely gone, I am a thousand times

less sensitive than I used to be to many things.

So essentially. liver support whether chelating or not...would help

this condition

Interesting,,, I suspect the additional load of chelating is

overwhelming the help you got from the niacinamide and grapefruit juice.

By the way, I have never heard of using those supps for MCS. Where did

you get the idea?

best to you,

its partially in AI page 40-Phase 1 inhibitors as andy says MCS goes

along with fast phase 1 liver metabolism (niacinamide)

but there is a post from andy under the headng MCS in one of the

files/linjks sections where he (I belive) suggest niacinamide and

grapefruit juice

In another post a few months back it appears curcumin also slows down

phase 1, which helps your liver process these hydrocarbons
