I'm the same age. I remember a while back I went to the doctors, and although they didn't find anything wrong (they didn't do any urine, hair samples --just heard me out), they did test my blood for any adnormalities, and said my plasma viscosity was as low as an 80 year olds (they suspected I had a cold, which I don't recall having). Anyway, when he mentioned that, I though "funny, I feel like an 80 year old."

For your question "how soon", I'd say as long as you detox with various things, I'd say about a year. As said before, I'd say algin would be your best bet, and that gave me almost instant relief; whereas non-mercury-contaminated chlorella helped, but at a slower pace. It also produced profound ups and downs, which I, after 6 months, no longer suffer from -- well, they're not as profound anyway. It's a case of one step at a time.
