In my journey in correcting a lot of problems contributing to my fatigue or feel-bads, I have made the following mistakes or had regrets:
1) Took too little amount of ubiquinol for a long time, which resulted in massive fatigue when I was first detoxing high copper and lead. Yes, my Organic Acids Test told me I badly needed CoQ10 based on what they saw coming out in my urine...except what they were recommending was WAY too low for me. Had to figure out after miserable fatigue with that detoxing that I needed WAY more. 1500 mg somewhat relieved a lot of the fatigue. [I figured out on my own that you can't always trust recommendations]
2) Was too aggressive killing bacteria when I had SIBO after my first copper detox, which resulted in a yeast infection from HELL for five months! Not sure how I would have known ahead of time, as I was doing this on my own. Just regret I didn't stop after the first round of anti-bacterial supps like garlic and more.
3) Increased the phospholipids I was taking to help with mito cell repair, too high...causing me to start detoxing a second time. I call this a mistake because when my body is forced into detoxing, I feel like CRAP. Major fatigue. Wish I had instead improved my methylation with folate, which I didn't understand at the time.
4) Increased B2 too high (to 425 mg to promote energy), which caused great fatigue all over again. I was taking more B2 because my Organic Acids Test said I needed it to promote mito energy. Turns out that high dose B2 promotes detox, and that is an energy sucker. I wish I had just increased the 25 mg I had been taking to 50 mg ONLY, as I saw one gal said she felt great on that.
What about YOU??
