I have hyperammoneia and just found out several supplements I'm taking and have been advised to take, on the Yasko protocol, contain thiols. Off the top of my head, these are the ones I can remember, although I think there may be more:
taking:
- HHI Special Digestive Enzymes (contain papain)
- lactoferrin (derived from whey)
- HHI AmminoAssist (contains l-methionine)
advised to take:
- selenomethionine
It's a conondrum because I need these supplements due to deficiencies, yet I've only been getting worse since I started the Yasko protocol seven months ago, and I'm wondering if those supplements could have contributed to my decline?
Could anyone suggest:
- a decent digestive enzyme compound without quercetin, bromelain and papain
- a good bioavailable form of selenium (Brazil nuts are high in thiols)
- anything else?
18 days ago I started on 1 tbsp ACV before each meal, as it was recommended in the candida protocol with the added benefit of being high in potassium. At the suggestion of a holistic practitioner (who I have sparse contact with, so it's not an option of simply quizzing her in depth about anything), I've also been taking HCI+Pepsin in the middle of each meal intermittently. Would these two things alone help sufficiently, or do I genuinely require a broad spectrum digestive enzyme (or at least require one now, as I've been using them for seven months and by now my body may have already lost the ability to digest without them)?
Gratitude extended in advance
