Additive reaction seems worse than salicylate reactions...

[Guest guest]

I've been noticing this week that a natural or artificial flavor make

me drowsy almost immediately after eating them -- spacey and sleepy.

Salicylate foods it looks like are more of a cumulative thing --

several days of them and I'm depressed and on my way to suicidal but

they don't make me sleepy/foggy when I get just one hit.

Does this tell you anything about my liver? From what research I know

to do, this sounds like a Phase II detox issue? Which phase is

involved with the salicylate issue?

And would milk thistle help with the phase II issues if that's the

problem?

I've been out of the loop so long I've forgotten a lot of this. I

plan to get Andy's book but I've been sick all spring and my checking

account is literally overdrawn as of tonight. I'm just hanging on by

my fingernails financially.

Thanks...
