was: Those who've chelated an NT kid...we need help?Now: amino acid doses

[Guest guest]

We put her on 250mg of tyrosine and acetyl cartinine in the am, and

500 mg of taurine at night. It has been over a week.

She said the first few days she noticed a bit of a perk up, but that

was it. Can we go higher with these?? How much, how often...

She is on minerals...all other supps on Andy's list.

Going for testing soon on adrenal/thyroid. It's not " mentally " based,

the psychologist said..he felt it was physical also. (duh). But we had

to shut the doc up by going to that eval..anyway...
