I sent a urine toxic elements test to Amy Yasko--had bought it last year. She looked it over and his supplements and suggested increasing his methyl B-12 dosage greatly. This is to get the methylation cycle revved up for detox.

So I doubled his methyl B-12 dosage, which is a small one, just 1000 mcg or 1 gram. On 2 grams he became very cranky and argumentative. This lasted a week. Finally I backed off. I was hoping he would "get used to it," but he didn't. I am thinking the methylation cycle is producing too much ammonia because of his CBS mutations, discussed much earlier in this blog.

So, the detox will have to be done some other way. In fact we are doing Round 3 of our Andrew Hall Cutler chelation starting this morning. I am thinking I need to do this every weekend instead of just every second or third weekend. It is going to take forever otherwise. I am not looking forward to being awake every three hours at night, every weekend. But oh, well. At least, the last time I did it I was finally able to sleep the last night of the chelation. (I wonder if the chelator, alpha lipoic acid, tends to keep me awake somehow.) I have decided to drop the chelation for myself but continue it for the kids if the insomnia continues. After all, I don't have symptoms of mercury poisoning, although the first chelation did show that I must have mercury issues.
