Thank You for the info. My ignorance is showing.  I really do appreciate the info. I am on day 3 or4, and my mind is not as clear as I hoped. I love reading all the posts. It keeps me going and helps to know that I am not alone.

Thanks

I didn't forget about your question I was just unable to get to the site till now.. Which formula from the book are you doing??  there should be several in there.. One is for cocaine and speed, one is for anti depressants and downers, one is for opiates, one is for alcohol.  there is also another one to quit cigarettes.. Let me know which one you are doing so I can help..

Very good point about adjusting supplements for your size and body type..it is not a one-size-fits-all deal.

I took my intial amino's for 8 weeks b4 moving on.. the books states to do anywhere from 2 weeks to several months.. its up to you..go by how your body feels.. I had my acupunture friend adjust the detox supplements in the book for me.. some of them were too high in amounts for my size.. She said I would have gotten very sick if I would have taken that much of some things.. like the 5000mgs of Vitamin C..

I just ordered the book you mentioned.  There is a lot of info about amino acids on the Internet.  
You might want to add CoEnzyme Q10 to your regimen...Google it!  Basically, our cells are born with it, over time we lose it, we can replace it.  Kind of costly, but worth it.  What is RLS?
