Guest guest Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 THAT IS REALLY INTERESTING RHONDA AS REXALL IS MORE OF A SCRIPT TYPE VITAMIN AND SWANSON IS MORE OF A VITAMIN SHOPPE, ETC. I DIDN'T KNOW THERE WAS A DIFFERENCE BUT I CERTAINLY BELIEVE YOU. A CAPSULE SHOULD ASSIMILATE IN THE BODY MUCH BETTER AND BREAKING UP THE CAPSULE CAN CERTAINLY IRRITATE YOUR ESOPHAGUS UNLESS YOU DRANK A TEASPOON OF WHITE APPLE CIDER VINEGAR OR TOOK ENZYMES WITH IT. THE VINEGAR MIGHT CHANGE THE ALKALINITY OF THE ALA AND MAKE IT INEFFECTIVE. I'M NOT SURE. THANKS FOR THE FEEDBACK. KATHY [low dose naltrexone] ALA etc I ordered Alpha Lipoic Acid and the Acetyl L-Cartinine from Swanson's and they didn't have one with them combined like I was taking. Strangely, after starting Swanson's I didn't feel the extra enery I had before. I had been taking Rexall which has the two combined and is a hard pill where Swanson's is in a capsule. Now I wonder about anything I take in a capsule whether I'm getting the full dosage. I may start opening all capsule meds. I did open the Swanson's capsules one time with the ALA and Acetyl but wondered if it would burn my esophogus going down. And today, I got the Rexall and took and I have that Energy feeling back. That is so strange and Rexall has 500 mgs. Acetyl and 200 ALA and Swanson's has 500mgs of Acetyl and 300mgs of ALA in separate capsules. Will continue on Rexall and see if I stay the way I was. Of course, I've had some Bad sinus days but today is one of them and I still have the better energy. I know people here said Ala enhances LDN as well as other good things.Rhonda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 WILL YOU TRY THE SWANSON BRAND IN AWEEK OR SO AND SEE IF THE SAME THING HaPPENS?

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Hi all, I have been taking 3mg LDN for a month for my MS. I find it helpfull. I have been in the room for about a month also but I am unclear as to all the vitamins and the other pills(?) that are being taken. Such as what is the Alpha Lipoic Acid and the Aceryl for? I am assuming that you are using it for energy. Are these vitamins that are available in stores? And are they a big help? I take the LDN at 9:30 P.M. and then I take 100mg Provigil at 9:30 A.M. With this combonation I get through the day pretty well, but around 4:30-5 I start feeling pooped. As if I were to laydown I would go to sleep. I don't want to take anymore provigil....I would like to not take it at all. I would like to know if there was something else I could take to help with " pep " . Could someone help guide me in the right direction? --- Rhonda <rhondaleokitty@...> wrote: > I ordered Alpha Lipoic Acid and the Acetyl > L-Cartinine from Swanson's > and they didn't have one with them combined like I > was taking. > Strangely, after starting Swanson's I didn't feel > the extra enery I had > before.

Guest guest Posted July 29, 2005 Report Share Posted July 29, 2005 Hi , I am sending you an attachment with what my husband is taking, and another attachments with what Dr. ce is suggesting. Are you taking LDN for MS? That is what these attachments would be for. I hope they help. Aletha Re: [low dose naltrexone] ALA etc > Hi all, I have been taking 3mg LDN for a month for my > MS.

Guest guest Posted July 30, 2005 Report Share Posted July 30, 2005 If you want to get energy these are the things I have found most helpful pretty much in order. Eliminate white flour, NADH, acetyl-l-carnitine,alpha lipoic acid, fish oil in the form of krill, b-12 methylcobalamin sublingual, co-enzymeQ10, . I don't know if you wean yourself off the Provigil or not. Take a good multi and maintain your blood sugar levels throughout the day by snacking on good stuff. When I first got ms or started manifesting symptoms, I took a nap sometimes, now I have more energy than most people without ms. I forgot to add exercise is a big one. However, you should add just 5 minutes more each day and never exercise beyond moderately intense. Hope that helps, kathy Re: [low dose naltrexone] ALA etc Hi all, I have been taking 3mg LDN for a month for myMS. I find it helpfull.
