I have felt somewhat better since starting. I am told I will have a better idea in about two weeks.
I was taking magnesium malate at anywhere from 400 to 800 mg per day for quite a while and didn't notice much of an effect on how I felt. I haven't asked my NP about calcium and magnesium yet and he hasn't said anything to me.
Prior to starting the coffee enemas, I had been taking lithium carbonate at 300 mg without much benefit.
I don't believe drugs have ever been very helpful for my feeling terribly, but am currently taking 200 mg lamotrigine and 15 mg Saphris at the insistence of my parents.
I would not be surprised if histamine had something to do with feeling terribly. I do not know how to tell whether a person is high or low short of identifying which vitamins help and which do not when provided in relatively large quantities.
I haven't been tested for pylouria but would not be surprised to learn that it was contributing as supplementing with pyridoxine at 1000 mg per day in addition to other nutrients made me feel less terribly for about a month.
I think feeling terribly is caused by a whole host of errors in metabolism. I hope I am getting closer to resolving all of mine, but fear that more will emerge as this process unfolds.
And janejane, I found him at http://orthomolecular.org/resources/pract.shtml. Blue Cross does not cover my particular provider.
