Re: Supplement regimen on round vs off round

[Guest guest]

-A good question-- how much is too much.?. I have so far

been afraid of taking too much.. I do not want to be one of

those who end up in the hospital and the doctor finds out I have

been taking huge amounts of something.. I have already had a

similar experience .. funny now looking back but embarassing

particularly when I was sooo sick and felt at their mercy

I had been admitted to hospital on the assumption that

they were going to do tests , I sat around for several

days. and then another several more days.. What was

happening.? Finally they brought in a bunch of interns to check

me out.

The practicing MD asked them about my orangey coloured

eyes.. I had never noticed it.. Well he got them all to give

their opinion , then gave them his diagnoses. In my first years

of being ill in the 70s , having had no diagnoses I had

treid alot of different diets , and cures. In one I had been

juicing always with half carrot juice--- really not that much--

maybe a couple of small glasses a day for cannot remember how

long.. Well this had apparently turned me a bit orange..

The next day they brought in the psychiatritrist and that was

all they offered... how maddening..

So I have often gone on high doses.. FOr example manganese.

At my worst I need at least 75 to 100 mg a day. Then I would

go back down to 25 , at the most 50 mg a day for several

months. In the end I have always had to go back up at some

point. Like this month when I had a crisis.. the higher

manganese helped with my liver..

I suppose there are some supplements which are water soluble .

In that case do we need to never worry about too high doses/???

sorry do not know the answer.. Nanci

I second this question.

I think Andy has indicated that zinc should be reduced while on ALA.

I've just started DMSA and find I need even more molybdenum

(previously 900 mcg/day but somewhere I believe Andy has recommended

1000-3000 mcg/day) to alleviate a body odor problem (apparently due to

insufficient phase-two sulfation), that gets worse on DMSA.
