So I have been taking the Mitosynergy for a couple of days now. I started with half a capsule of the Extra Strength, which is actually not that much, since one capsule only contains 0,5 mg of copper but I guess since it is extra bioavailable, more gets absorbed, and low and slow is always best with introducing new supplements (not that I ever followed that route).
The next day I took a whole capsule. At the same time (because I am not always the smartest and most patient) I also started taking Spirulina (also high in copper). I do feel quite good. Which to be honest, intuitively I would rather give the Spirulina the credit for. To me it still makes more sense to get nutrients from food (even if it is a strange kinda food like a blue green algae) instead of supplements. Although I dig the Mitosynergy approach because their copper is super bio-available (but also soo much more expensive than Spirulina, and it it doesn't contain all the other good nutrients that Spirulina provides). I am still taking my zinc (apart from the copper, since they are antagonists). I am currently looking into TRS which is a nano-zeolite spray, said to be VERY effective for heavy metal detox. The internet is full of positive reviews (although some also claim it's a scam). But being me I will give it a try of course! From the same company I also ordered a new hair mineral analysis test (strangely hard to get one here in Spain), so I am curious. I still need to get my zinc, copper and ceruloplasmin levels tested though. Tried to get zinc sulfate at the pharmacy here but you can't get it without a doctor's prescription. Geez, c'mon Spain! My mind is pretty calm though at the moment (not much overthinking, or racing mind), meditations are pretty good. I have some dream recall. Learned today about taurine and that it helps the body absorbing Magnesium (as well as B6). Maybe a reason why for the past years I always had to take my daily magnesium, and I seem to waste it a lot. So when you are deficient in taurine, the kidneys just dump the magnesium. You get taurine mainly from fish and meat (hello, vegan years!) but the body can also produce it (if all goes well, which as we know is usually not the case if you are heavy metal toxic). Not sure if I get me some taurine, it is also important for the production of ceruloplasmin, so might be good. I also read that babies who aren't breastfed don't get enough taurine, that's why they add it to baby formula (I wonder if they did that already in the 80's when I got baby formula). Nutrient deficiency -> lower detox. One thing I noticed is that my heart palpitations are back a little. Didn't have those in a loooong time (the last time in my fruitarian days so I thought it is related to low sodium maybe?). I crave sodium still A LOT, and I wonder if my kidneys are also still salt wasting. I noticed whenever I get a hot flush of the face (usually around mid-day when I feel worst) it sometimes helps to drink a glass of water with a tsp of salt. Adrenal cocktail style I guess. But yeah, I noticed that I usually feel worst between 1 and 4 pm, and then after my mood gets better. The organ clock says it is the time of the small intestines from 1-3 pm so that makes sense (SIBO). I wonder if the SIBO will sort itself out once all the metals are detoxed. Then the stomach acid production should be better too. Maybe a fast will help once I am more detoxed. The only time my face was zero red was after a 5 days water fast. That's the latest news.
