I went on to the website of the Pfeiffer Institute and found one thing very interesting. The mention of choline and inoistol as potentially harmful for two types of depression
>>>>Pfeiffer has me on inositol (hard to say the effect though)
and if you are of the Pyroluri subtype omega 3's might be harmful. I get very spaced on cod liver oil.
>>>>>>>>>>>This is VERY interesting to me!!! I have noticed that ever since I started taking fish oil that I have been in 'space' so much that I should be an astronaut! This REALLY makes me wonder....Lar, have you come across anything regarding fish oil causing spaciness/"brain fog"?
> If a person takes zinc do you have to be careful of copper depletion?Yes. Zinc blocks copper uptake. Zinc for five days, copper for two, would absolutely cover it. But, with the high number of homes with copper pipes, I don't know whether supplemental copper is necessary. I'll come back to you on that.
>>>>>>>>>Lar, I tested VERY high for copper (ceruloplasmin levels....33% free copper, whereas Pfeiffer told me that they like to see it under 10% in people). When I looked up Copper Toxicity on-line and read the effects of it, I have to say that it was DEAD-ON as to so many of my problems. I was zinc deficient also. Anyway, I've been on Zinc supp's daily for about 6 months now (85 mg/day) with NO copper supplementation (NO copper supp's but I get it in food obviously)
If there is a Pfeiffer-style place around, I couldn't afford it. I'm my own Pfeiffer, I guess.
>>>>>>John/Lar---Pfeiffer has a 'charitable fund' and someone can get a LARGE portion of their initial visit paid for IF FUNDS ARE AVAILABLE and IF you qualify, fwiw....you may be able to go there for cheaper than you think
Fingers crossed on the anti-crash program.
>>>>>>>Lar, is the 'crashing' you get strictly exhaustion/fatigue? or is it more depression? Take care!
