What's Next?
My peer advisor on this is cautioning that Mike may be in for a period of detox, as his body adjusts to the cod liver oil and starts to get rid of toxins. It may start making too much ammonia, since he has the CBS mutation as determined by Yasko's test.
Last night he got angry and slammed open the fragile sliding door of our van. Now the door is busted. :(
Hope we aren't really in for it.
Here's what my pper advisor, who spends a lot of time researching this, is proposing for dealing with excess ammonia:
* lemonade made with filtered water - lemons - and xylitol (5 carbon sugar)
* carrots
* beets
*dandelion root and dandelion leaves/plant - dandelion tea
* ora-liv (dessicated liver)
* apples - apple sauce
* baking soda and baking soda baths
* carnitine - if one doesn't have trouble with methyl donors
* jerusalem artichokeo calcium d-glucarate
* magnesium (and zinc to enhance absorption)' upwards of 200 mg/dayaccording to studies: the enzyme that detoxifies ammonia requires magnesium.BTW, Tri-mag, 2 capsules, gives that much and it has AKA (see below) in it too
* molybdenumo bh4 in royal jelly - bio organ - bio thyro
* ammonia rna
* yucca
* curcumin if no trouble with methyl donors
* milk thistle - even though it has sulfur. The silymarin is the only thing I know that can regenerate liver cells. The more liver cells, the more power to process ammonia down the road
* cranberry - TACA now talks about it helping with phenols
* larch arabinosegalactan - ARA-6 aka arabinexo aspartate and glutamine (pears are a natural source of aspartates)
* butyrate (as in butter!)
* sodium benzoate
* ammonul (drug the doctors use in hyperammonemia)
* AKA - alpha-ketoglutarates.
Stay away from all things hard to digest by liver: phenols - dairy - protein- saturated fats - artificials - preservatives - drugs - caffeine. The diet called "Sara's Diet" is extremely helpful in giving the liver the break it needs for behaviours to stop quickly. Some people even report eye and hair colour changes in 3 weeks, vomiting and diarrhea stopping after 1 day, etc.
