Hi all,

I'm looking for support and advice on ammonia detox. My LLMD has strongly advised that I not begin treatment until I get my high ammonia levels into the normal range (below 47). Unfortunately, I just found out that after 6 weeks of taking a supplement to help reduce ammonia (L-ornithine, l-aspartate), my levels are still at 73.

So I'm looking to try some more ways to get my ammonia down. Does anyone else have this problem and if so have any tips? I'm wondering if infrared sauna might help. Also have read that N-acetyl cisteine helps, as does yucca root powder.

Thoughts? Thanks!

I never had my ammonia levels checked, but going by results from 23andme I think I have a gene that's not allowing me to get rid of it. So based on that, I bought some ornithine yesterday after reading on this site:

"Start by taking two ornithine capsules (each 500 mg.) on the first night. Take four the next night. Take six the night after and choose the dose you like best. Sometimes it takes five days to "catch up" on everything that needs to be done for the brain and get you sleeping. Meanwhile, of course, you are planning to kill your parasites and be done with insomnia in the most effective way of all."

That article is saying parasites are producing the ammonia. I started a parasite cleanse too.

I was looking for something to cure my insomnia. I took the first two capsules last night and have to say that I felt like I didn't sleep.So took a part of an ambien early in am.

Maybe the ornithine just stirs things up at first? I''ll keep trying.

I have read that infrared sauna is great for this. Also the anti tox formula by Jernigan is ( I think) supposed to be good for this.

Greatly reduce protein intake, increase water intake, and take molybdenum.

Thanks everyone. I begged my LLMD for additional "weapons" against ammonia and they said I could take NAC--n-acetyl cystiene (sp) too, so I just ordered that. Commenters on a Facebook board said that they think the ammonia is due to parasites, so I might look into ways to attack those SOB worms too.....

Zeolite. Has a strong affinity for ammonia and removes it from the body. Zeolite Pure. Tastes like chalk but very effective. First few days may be a bit headachy and fatigued but should clear up real quick with very good mental benefits.

If you read into the Hansa center Jernigan stuff they discuss the ammonia issue a lot.

I've read that ammonia irritates the brain and can cause insomnia. Landslide45, is insomnia an issue with you with your know high levels of ammonia?
