Re: My First Round - I Feel No Different ??your adrenals

[Guest guest]

penciloid,

are you taking something for the adrenals..as I understand it

you need to be especially supportive of adrenals during chelation,

especially if they have been already giving you trouble

Fo me , i think the adrenal support has been integral to getting

through the chelation, (reducing fatigue and night aches) including

the following

** hydrocortisone 20 mgs a day 10MGs in am and 10 mgs at night seems

to work best for me

** Dhea AND Pregnenolone

** cutting out caffeine and sugar

** siberian ginseng (500 mgs twice a day)

** smaller meals with protein at each meal

Someone posted here months ago that too much melatonin can be bad for

adrenals. I was taking upwards of 20+ each night..I cut back to 6-9

mgs and It seemed to help adrenals and reduce fatigue and has not

interfered with my sleep

I am at month 5 of chelation and seem to have more energy and

optimism...still only at 12.50 mgs of ALA

As Tk said do not increase too fast no matter how good you feel. I

think the one very bad spell I experienced was when I got carried

away with increasing the dosage of DMSA/ALA too fast and it set me

back a few weeks

Goodluck
