Hi,
What you suggested is exactly what I intend to do, unless I find out that the lack of my prescription enzymes is behind all this, and I'd give that about 2 to 1 odds right now. The OTC enzymes are not nearly as strong as the label states. Like most products in the supplement industry, you have no way of knowing what is in there and are playing roulette when you buy them, unless you can afford to pay to have them assayed. It is often not possible to find a particular product you want in pharmaceutical grade, so you pay your dime and take your chances.
There are thousands of folks like me who are in the Medicare donut hole now and are not picking up their prescriptions anymore until the end of the year. I read about it on our home page yesterday. I am lucky I can afford all but this one prescription, which even though it's generic costs almost 6 times what all my other drugs cost combined. I wonder how many deaths will occur because of the donut hole this year.
My blood pressure was up to 158/96 at the doctor's office. Even that is nothing compared to the readings I get once a PSVT attack is underway, which are in the neighborhood of 230/114 with an abnormal pulse of 160. It's been years since my BP med dose was raised. I think I need it raised, and I also need those prescription enzymes.
You made a good point about bugs methylating too, though I am no zoologist, but it makes sense.
If I do start up again, it will be after my gut and blood pressure are stabilized, and with tiny doses. I guess with this program, just because your reaction seems minor, doesn't mean you won't get a delayed one that is a whopper, though I want to say again that I am not blaming this protocol for any of my symptoms until I figure out if the lack of enzymes is the real problem.
