Looking to tweak the protocol a little now due to heart burn, nausea and generally feeling unwell. Not all of which I am prepared to believe is the immune response, as a lot of it seems to be to do with stomach upset.
So today I took the reishi after the main dose by 30 minutes to see if it made any difference. It didn't really effect the heart burn but it did effect the nausea.
20 minutes after dosing the heartburn has resolved but the immune system certainly seems to become active, as I can feel my ulcer getting worse and a loss of energy. This is without the reishi which I'll take in another 10 minutes.
10 minutes later certainly the ulcer is a lot worse hence wound healing is worse and the immune response has gone a bit skew-wiff - never figured out how or why this is occuring but Bhupesh Prusty mentioned it in a tweet months ago as a symptom he expected to see widespread due to hhv-6. Anyway I've taken the reishi now to see how I feel with that.
The reishi extract 30 minutes later just seems to make me feel a bit high, I'm not saying it isn't have an immune effect although not too sure if it really is. But feeling high isn't great either, at least I can't rely on traditional remedies to stimulate my body into working like I could the first 2 years I was sick. Also when I got the glandular fever last year I was taking ginseng, but it was a bacterial infection that did me in, not the ginseng itself. Suffice to say ginseng is not something you can just "stop" if you run into trouble. It takes about 2 weeks to come out of your system. By which point the infection had got out of control. So I am very wary of immune stimulating herbs these days, as they can make me very ill. Hoping that doesn't happen here.
However what I did notice last week was that R-ALA was burning my stomach pretty bad and it is making me think that this is probably reacting with my stomach and other things I am taking in an unpleasant way. As it's only needed for ROS and I am a little concerned about the mercury mobilisation aspects I will probably remove this from the protocol from the second dose today.
Certainly don't want to make myself sicker than I already am! I'll also lower the reishi extra to 500mg to see if my body catches up a bit.
