I started a CBS protocol about a month ago, and last week got very sick...Yesterday, I woke up w a splitting headache and cracks on the side of my mouth and my lips were a little puffy.. I google my symptoms and came up with this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_cheilitis... I've never had this before... Could this be caused by my protocol?
My doctor's protocol for me..
CLEAR AMMONIA:
· l-arginine 500mg in the AM (this esp helps the liver clear ammonia)
· l-ornithine 500mg in the PM
· l-citrulline 500mg in the PM
All three of these amino acids are components of the urea cycle and can help in clearing ammonia toxicity by increasing urea formation (thus the need for also supporting the kidney in its ability to excrete urea). L-Ornithine is especially important to the brain, as the brain does not have an ornithine related enzyme found in the rest of the body, that is needed to detoxify ammonia by metabolizing it to urea.
CLEAR HEAVY METALS:
· Zeolite: ACZ 2 sprays twice daily the first two weeks of each month-clear heavy metals, which compromise the other paths to breakdown ammonia
SUPPORT LIVER & KIDNEY:
· Silymarin Forte one daily (has sulfur, but as I said, my prob is more ammonia so I'm not as strict on avoiding sulfur right now..)
· Artichoke Extract one daily with food,
· Celery (food) daily, possibly even celery juice
ENERGY:
- Acetyl L-Carnitine - 500mg one daily in the AM, may help prevent ammonia related neurotoxic damage to the brain; brain antioxidant - better for mental energy than L-Carnitine Fumarate, which is better for physical / muscle energy.
- Ribose
- NADH
- Ubiquinol / CoQ10
RAISE S.O.D.
- Manganese (co-factor)
OTHER SUPPLEMENTS:
· Yucca - 2 capsules 2x day (gut support, also may clear the ammonia directly)
- Molybdenum Glycinate 1 mg - breaks down toxic sulfites to sulfates and supports liver detoxification
- Also brain needs C, E, Magnesium and Zinc to prevent excitotoxin (glutamate) damage. So stay on Magnesium, add Unique E one daily three times per week and Unique Tocotrienols one daily three times per week, and use C a couple of times daily
- Probiotics
- B12 (adeno & hydroxy)
