Please reply if you have experience using Potassium with DQ supps...
Hello all, I know I've been silent for a while. Been trying to sort some things out. I detailed in my blog that I had a 6-7 week remission of all CFS symptoms over the summer. I have a finite set of variables (which is still pretty substantial) during that time period I'm working with to try to recreate this.
I've started back on low dose DQ supps which are producing some effects. On only 800mcg of MFolate My need for Potassium is already up. I think on my previous run up to 9mg of Mfolate a day that I depleted any reserve I might have had.
I'm finding now that taking 500mg of K along with some Magnesium Glycinate and Calcium is keeping me feeling pretty good. Also taking very small doses of Active B's during the day.
I know Phase-1 detox is supposed to create some intermediates that can make us feel worse but seems like a properly operating Phase-2 system should only make us feel better. For example when I would drink alcohol I could boost Acetylation with Molybdenum, Pantethine and mostly remedy any hangover symptoms the next day as the acetaldehyde is quickly converted to useful acetic acid. Seems the water soluable byproducts of Phase 2 should make us feel better by removing the toxic intermediate of Phase 1. (My understanding might be lacking).
Questions:
For me I need to know how long after taking my DQ supps to wait before I should take my Potassium and other minerals? I know Freddd says not to take Potassium with the DQ supps. The DQ supps, in my experience, definitely create a demand for minerals and Potassium especially so I probably need to take them ASAP to remedy this deficiency.
Also has anyone figured out a reliable way to monitor Potassium levels by symptoms (or other clever means) to stay in the "zone" of not too little or too much? This would be very critical info for anyone taking DQ supps.
Also interested to hear what kinds of Potassium and how others are taking their Potassium to increase effectiveness and spare the stress on the stomach.
Also wanted to mention B3. Perhaps for my particular genetics that plays an important part. I believe that by taking DQ supps and boosting SAMe and methylation that we are using up B3 (binding to the SAMe). I think that perhaps B3 is critical for many and instead of being shunned as something that will defeat methylation (as I did) it should be taken some hours away from methylation.
