I've been feeling so significantly better for about ten days or so that I thought I'd post something about what I'm taking now as I don't believe that anything else I'm doing would explain such a significant improvement. I find myself a little reticent to post this though because I know everyone is different and I don't want to give anyone bad information. I'm still such a naive newbie. But the improvement is so significant and has now lasted long enough I think, that I'm feeling like I should post this.
Before I needed to take an antihistamine every 4 to 6 hours because of a feeling like I couldn't breath, etc. These symptoms were improved by antihistamine, so I was taking a butt load of them. I've not taken one for at least four days!
It's supposed to take 6 to 12 months for Quercetin to work, so perhaps it isn't that alone. But I do have a sense that that has helped. I've also started Vit C which probably explains some of my increased energy and reduced need for antihistamines. (But honestly, when I tried the Vit C a year ago it made me WORSE.)
Anyway, I'm not 100% sure that it is these new Dr. Theo pills (or not sure it is only these new pills). I'm still on the Zantac, Singulair and Gastrocrom but I hardly need anything else. Nothing else has changed in a way that would explain an improvement - in fact my diet has been a tad less strict and I started a demanding exercise program (P90X) last week (that I'd been working up to for four months).
I'm taking Dr. Theo's ArthroSoft and NueroProtek plus 2000mg of buffered Vit C (that may be time released) and 2 teaspoons of magnesium. The ArthroSoft has both the Chondroitin Sulfate and the Quercetin in the formula - that's why I'm taking it. And the NeuroProtek is just mostly just the Quercetin with Luteloin and Rutin. Supposedly, according to Dr. Theo, his formulas allow the Quercetin to be absorbed. I've checked and you can take both formulas according to Dr. Theo's assistant. You can get the order takers to give his assistant a message to call you back if you want. She's pretty good at getting back to you quickly. On the downside both bottles are around $38 a piece. But I honestly can't overstate how much better I've been feeling.
Here's a link in case you want to try it.
http://www.algonot.com/arthrosoft.phpTaking 5 of the NeuroProteck and 4 of the ArthoSoft. As I said, that is not over the amount of Quercetin allowed, but please talk to Dr. Theo's assistant. Although she will probably refuse to tell you the exact amount of Quercetin in them as the patent is still pending or something like that.
Anyway, if you decide to try the Vit C and Dr. Theo's formulas, please let me know if it helps you.
Sorry this post is so long - just trying to give all the info you may be curious about. Good luck.
