I researched the known margins of safety before my foray into orthomolecular type therapies.
I figured I would try a few things and if I saw any benefit then I would delve a little deeper.
I really didn't get any benefit from niacin at higher doses (didn't hurt either)but even at no more that 100 mg B6 (both forms) and 30-50 zinc I benefitted. Now I will get the urine test for pyroluria. This is where the rubber meets the road. I have an indication that there may be something to this particular theory for me.
I have exposed myself to no danger of any account and have been rewarded by my expirimentation.
Squiggles, you are smart and capable of exploring your options while keeping yourself safe.
I'll tell you what. This endeavor, for me, has proven much more safe and beneficial than say, my decision to experiment with peanut butter brands which resulted in weeks of illness due to salmonella poisoniing.
Compared to the risks I have taken with psychotrophic medications and the side effects they have caused a little self medication with higher than RDA of nutrients seems oh-so-tame and practical.
Take Care,
Kaye
