Pretty Strange Experience - Warning for Fibrosis, Limia, Chronic Pain, Restless Legs, Chronic Sinusitis (?)

I bought this supplement hoping it would help with symptoms of Brain Fog associated with Lyme /chronic pain would help . I took the starting dose in the morning. Within an hour I was getting so sleepy (not tired like fibrous fatigue but really sleepy) that I had to take a nap. I woke up and after an hour I felt my head getting a lot clearer. This is where it gets weird. For two weeks I was battling a severe sinus infection - heavy green discharge. At two o'clock I accidentally blew my nose - there was no more green. Pretty sure it shouldn't be possible. I took another dose - two hours later the chronic asthma/chest tightness was gone and I felt like I could breathe freely to the bottom of my lungs. Very strange. Don't judge me now: I took another dose - that's about 10 hours of the experiment. My congested face clears, my sense of smell sharpens. A few hours later I go to bed. I wake up this morning to find that I slept with no restless legs and no sleeping pills. my mind is clear My pain dropped to almost zero. I did a little research to find out why this might be causing these reactions and it seems they might be related to liver failure - a possible partial inability to clear ammonia. (There's no evidence of this in my lab tests or medical history.) For those of you who want to investigate this for your own health, consider testing ammonia and potassium levels, genetic variants of the liver's ability to process ammonia, candidiasis. and rapid pH changes, agitation, and elevated ammonia levels. I'll update in about a month and see if the effects last. Update #1: Just wanted to say it's been almost two weeks. I have to take it in the morning now because the initial drowsiness is gone and it makes me more awake now. It definitely has a positive effect on my restless legs - I don't need to take any prescription medication as long as I take ornithine daily. This is also definitely the culprit behind my newly exposed sinuses. If I go 24 hours without a dose, the green discharge and full face come back. Note that it does not help with allergy-related nose pain, it only causes a clear face and normal clear nasal mucus.

Pros
  • Practical Stuff
Cons
  • So far so good
