9/16- Very interesting. I've been taking Zinc for the last few days. Before, it was a non-factor. Now, it's a game changer in a POSITIVE way. Another very positive development: Serine and Argentine are now tolerated. I had an instant negative reaction just last week. Taurine is still bad for me but I'm betting that cologne would be tolerated.
Reaction:
Zinc is key for many enzyme reactions. My intolerance to these pills was probably an enzyme defect, not an autoimmune issue. A doctor won't help with this.
Not surprisingly, an adrenal spike has hit. Zinc doesn't help anymore. Extra Thyme Adrenal does.
Distance-0.5
9/17- Another junk workout but it's now confirmed. Arginine and Serine are now non-factors thanks to Zinc. Unfortunately, it's also caused a MASSIVE adrenal spike. In theory, I can start training again when it goes down.
Distance-0.5
Two questions: Does caffeine have any effect on the need for Zinc? Can blood donation slow down the adrenals?
9/18- Probably the peak of the adrenal spike. Half mile in 6:11. Not my worst of all time. This was WITH the pills. I couldn't even attempt this without pills.
Distance-0.5
9/19- Repeated the half mile distance and my time is down to 5:45. I will take it. That's 52 per mile better than I was just 12 hours ago. Shooting for 1 mile tomorrow.
Distance-0.5
9/20- Full mile at Montreat in 10:48. I will take it. That's 42 seconds faster pace than yesterday and I doubled the distance. Slight negative split (5:29-5:19). Weakened a bit by a mild summer cold too.
Distance-1.0
