> Inositol is one of the unnumbered B vitamins. It

> serves an important

> metabolic function for muscle and nerve tissue, in

> particular. Good evidence

> shows that high doses of inositol promote the

> excretion of silicone from the

> body by conversion to silicate which passes into the

> urine. There is a

> somewhat complex but useful test for silicate in the

> urine. Women with

> silicone implants excrete more silicate per day than

> women without these

> devices. Post explant individuals excrete an

> intermediate amount for up to

> nine months afterwards, sometimes longer. It depends

> on how much silicone is

> left over after the devices come out.

>

> Inositol comes in 500 and 600 mg tablets or

> capsules. Only yeast free

> inositol should be used as many women are allergic

> to yeast proteins. Do not

> use formulations containing silica or other

> substances.

>

> The best dose is 3.0 grams per day. With 500 mg

> tablets this is obtained by

> the following program:

>

> Days 1-3, one 500 mg tablet each qt breakfast and

> lunch

>

> Days 4-7, two 500 mg tablets each at breakfast and

> lunch

>

> Thence, two 500 mg tablets with all three meals

> daily

>

> A small percentage of individuals will experience

> loose bowel movements for

> a few days while their system adjusts to the

> inositol. One or two shot

> glasses of Peptobismol, or similar medication may

> help with this; DO NOT

> TAKE the Peptobismol at the same time; an hour

> afterwards is good.

>

> Just as each person may tolerate other substances

> differently. the final

> level depends on your own metabolism. Try for a

> minimum of 2.0 grams per

> ds^y (four 500 mg tablets) if you seem not to

> tolerate six. Rarely, patients

> have reported tingling or mild headache after six or

> more months on inositol

> at high levels. Whilst it is not known whether this

> is an effect of the

> inositol, it is best to cut back from six tablets

> per day to four, or from

> four to two, and see whether these signs are

> relieved. If so, then you were

> saturated witli inositol and the lower intake will

> maintain it.
