Hi Snowathlete,
I didn't get a headache, but I did feel a lot of toxins circulating. I think it could mean either you need to increase the dose of some methylation supplement (I needed more B12, I think you'd have to experiment) or else that you do have a phenol problem.
If phenols are a problem for you, the following things will make you feel ill:
Perfume, Wood smoke, cigarette smoke, lots of cleaning products (perfumed ones), various herbal medicines (phenol is not listed as an ingredient because it is a natural substance that exists in lots of plants); there are also phenols in the following foods,
Apricots
Berries and cherries
Oranges and tangerines
Pineapple
Red grapes
Tomatoes
Peppers
Mint
Anise (licorice)
Olives
Dill
But I do have to eat a lot of these foods to feel the symptoms.
The symptoms are stuffy nose (it all gets swollen inside), headache, tight breath, generally feeling grotty, and when it is really bad, nausea.
If quite a few things on that list make you feel ill then it could be worth switching to a Vitamin C without rosehips or bioflavonoids. Otherwise, I'd try upping methylation supplement dosages.
Yes, the psyllium husk is repulsive!!!! I have found some brands in capsule form, but you do have to swallow down so many of them, that becomes really unpleasant too. I keep oscillating between the two kinds of suffering!
Hi UKME,
I'm not taking any of the adrenal supplements, only the nutrients.
Is your daughter taking the nutrients at the dosages in the book as well, or the other supplements alone?
In the book he says give the nutrients 3 months, if that is not enough, try a herb or two as well, if that is still not enough, resort to adrenal extracts on top of that lot (i.e. his special products).
If she IS already on all the nutrients as well, then is she avoiding the forbidden things like caffeine etc?
I think Heapsreal made a good point too, that whatever chronic infections are exhausting the adrenals mean we are all struggling uphill. But I still think we can all get a degree of improvement on the status quo, if we get the right adrenal therapy.
