l-tryptophan

[Guest guest]

I've been lurking for a while and have been meaning to post and

say 'hi'. I saw the posts about L-tryptophan, and just wanted to

let y'all know that it is possible to get it on a prescription from a

compounding pharmacy. I get mine from Medicine Shoppe in Tx.

i have chronic fatigue in addition to other problems,and yet

paradoxically have trouble sleeping at night.

Have been seeing a dr who's in integrative med., finally found out

afer lots of tests I'm medium high in mercury so am using DMSA

to chelate. He wants me to go thru 6 cycles over 3 months and

then do another urine test to see what's what. Anyone here have

experience with this? He says that it's still unclear whether I'd

really have to have all my fillings replaced (I have a lot) or just

chelate regularly to avoid buildup. Any opinions? I'm just

starting my third 3-day course of DMSA.

(In between I am of course doing lots of nutritional supplements

as recommended per Jacob Teitlebaum & others.)
