I know lyme and co infections and parasites give off ammonia so I have a lot of ammonia in me. My question is does this only go to the brain? or could this be part of the chest gas suffocation I have? can ammonia go into the chest and build up?

I don't know if it could be part of the chest/gas suffocation.

Have you been tested for ammonia? Not everyone tests high.

I was a little on the high side the first time I tested. I used L-O-L-A (L ornithine/l aspartate.) I retested and not much of a change.

Will you give us an update - I’d like to know if treating it made a difference for you.

The Lola was expensive. I think it was about $100 for the one jar.

I think the Jernigan folks use molybdenum to address ammonia, as well as the Neuro-Antitox formula, if you are interested in those.

the microbe formulas peeps use yucca ... foot detox baths , bentonite packs and asparagus worked for me

I don't think high amonia levels would affect your lungs, or that amonia could "build up" in your chest, but I can't this for sure. Amonia is a neurotoxin, so it makes me think brain fog, irritability, sleep disturbance, maybe headaches...

I'm curious, as Girlie noted, as to why your doc would just assume you have high amonia and have you take supps rather than test for it first. Maybe he/she is anticipating elevated amonia with newly increased die-off? It's crazy how many things most of us are already taking, though. Does he/she order labs routinely otherwise?

FWIW I took l-orinthine for a while before switching to LOLA and I noticed zero benefits from either. Didn't test ammonia levels however, because I wasn't working with a doctor at the time.

I know; it is so hard to tell how they know or assume anything- there is so much going on in my body that is messed up due to the tick infections and snowball effect. having been to dozens of drs over the years who didnt help I just started working with a new herbalist via telesessions- and am just going with what he says based on him having a good reputation, and I figure it wont hurt me to target ammonia even if it is not there. Basically we are doing a month ( or more I dont know yet- he said re meet in a month) of a bunch of detox and binding before we start the herbs to target the infections. I know I have babesia so I think that is the main breathing cause. I also have elrichia ( based on dna connexions test I got recently) and this herbalist said that can also affect breahitng. I also have lots of toxins in my body form vairous things so we are trying to do a bunch of binders this month- charcoal, clay, l orthanine, modifiec citrus pectin and glycine, and vitamin c, to try to clear out some of that, as well as an anti inflamatory diet, saunas and detox baths. so that is what I am trying this month- and theyn when he gives me the ok I guess he is pretty good at targeting herbs for lyme and oc infecitons, mixing them up and changing them every two weeks. so I am going to go with what he says based on being ill and sicker and sicker for 7 years and feeling like he seems to know more than I do, where many of the other people I have tried seemed to know less!
