I had a very bad setback the past two weeks. Now I am trying to get my health to impove at least a bit so I can become semi functional again. I did 6 weeks of chelation using 50 mg ALA every 3 hours 3 days on 4 off. The last two weeks were horrible. My kness became very stiff over a week ago, and the stiffness has been finally subsiding over the past few days. I thought it might be due to the olive leaf extract, so I stopped that. I started grapefruit seed extract to replace it(I had gone off grapefruit seed extract a few weeks ago before I started the chelation). Today I took the olive leaf extract for around the first time in a week, as I feel I have annoying nasal drip today. I feel like a mess. I can't tell which supplements are helping or hurting, and how to progress. I am having muscle ache today and am wondering if it is due to candida dye off.
Any thoughts about licorice root? On paper it looks good- adrenal support, detoxifier, antifungal and antimicrobial. It can raise blood pressure though, although imo my blood pressure might be a bit on the low side. I make just one cup of licorice tea a day, as I am afraid to take in too much of it.
