I'd suggest seeing a doctor before taking any "vitamin regiments" or other supplements. Unless you have a specific deficiency ( which only a doctor can tell you ), the supplements can be useless at best and potentially even harmful at worst.

I am actually reading that book now and I think the amount is alittle much without a dr supervision but I am taking smaller amounts of not only some of the supplements they suggest but incorporating with a diet that is suppose to help with inflammation. I believe eating healthy and exercise are two of the greatest healers.

:) great. What day are you on?

I did cut the dozes a little. The dozes on vitamin C were over the allowable so I cut to half. Triptophan I did not get a perscription but the next digested product which is 5-HTP as it was available at drugstore.
Did you get any bloating?

I just started today and it hasn't been easy due to the fact my boyfriend and I had to have one last night of his DOC so I didn't sleep for over 24 hours and I don't really feel like eating then. But I also didn't even worry about the Triptophan. Yes the Vit C was way too much. I did add fish oil and turmeric (I normally take those) and a liver treatment. I also start drinking my green shakes again. So I'm happy I got it done felt like crap all day but ready for a good nights sleep and start fresh tomorrow. I didn't even think of the 5-HTP I know I have some thanks for that. and yes I am so bloated right now very uncomfortable.
