Malic Acid Part 2

 Two pieces of good news:

As long as I take all my Methylation supps, especially NAC and TMG, I won't have any problem tolerating Thym Adren.  I can get away with an occasional missed dose.  Just don't make a habit of it.  Second, the sensitivity to NAC and B12 appears to be gone thanks to the Malic Acid.  That's YUGE.

BAD NEWS:

It appears to have triggered an adrenal spike, which is not a surprise and is common after a major problem is solved.  

Also, the tolerance to Malic Acid itself is very limited.  I had a slight negative reaction the first day, then it became positive for a couple days.  One day this week, it appeared to be a non-factor as I repeated my interval time to within a fraction of a second after taking a scoop.  

I should have known that was too good to be true.  If toxic Aluminum really is the source of the sensitivity, it has been there for 20 years.  If I was unable to detox from vackseens, it's been there for 40 years.  I can't expect that a week of Malic Acid will clear it up.  It will go out kicking and screaming.  If I had to guess, I only scraped the surface of the detox process.  There are multiple layers that will be exposed and it will get worse before it gets better.  Despite countless false hopes, I'm actually somewhat optimistic about this long-term.

I planned to go to the FLA Gulf this weekend for my first surf session of the year.  Forecast high was close to 80 degrees with a water temperature of 67.  Chilly but tolerable.  As I headed south, I began feeling weaker and weaker and my stomach was jacked up as well.  Halfway there, I knew I couldn't make it safely.  Fortunately, there was a town 15 miles away with a cheap hotel.  I stayed there overnight and came home Friday morning.  2 hours of driving was all that I could handle and I crashed out again after I got home.  

Malic Acid was clearly the culprit.  A confirmation scoop this morning made things much worse.  Again, I can tell that it is detox.  I always feel better after a trip to the toilet especially if it's a number 2.  It does feel like my kidneys are stressed, which makes sense because that's the organ involved with Aluminum detox.  

The only thing I can do right now is just rest and let the detox run its course.  I will force myself to drink extra fluids.  Caffeine may speed up the detox but I prefer not to take that route.  Still, I need to stay functional at work.  I will sharply reduce the Malic Acid but will not eliminate it.  I won't be at all surprised to see an INSATIABLE NEED FOR IT in the near-future.

UPDATE: 

Insatiable need has kicked in just 1 day after I wrote this.  I believe there will be other layers that will be peeled off.  I only hope it is a little more gentle in the next round.
