Therefore, a small amount of neural growth is helpful through the use of lithium supplements such as only 5-10 mg of lithium citrate(or lithium carbonate) which I might take them before sleep to reduce some stress. Certain "smart drugs" (nootropics)such as hydergiene and piracetam (l-pyroglutamate or another cheaper substitute of 5-10 grams of glutamine available in most body building stores) can also help. L Glycine amino acids 5 grams before sleep may also be helpful
The other issue is that the magnesium citrate 250 mg or magnesium chloride, is still needed, and the vitamin C sodium ascorbate is needed too. Granulated powdered lecithin one tablespoon per day, are helpful to the liver.
The reason why magnesium chloride or magnesium citrate are needed is that magnesium hydroxide (milk of magnesia) alkalizes and kills harmful bacterial colonies in the intestines, while the magnesium hydroxide (milk of magnesia) is poorly absorbed.
The reason for the acid mouth (acid saliva) is very much due to the problems acidosis that is of intracellular fluids as opposed to extracellular fluids. The mouth is a fair indication of the fluids that is going inside the body and might reflect the body's lack of potassium citrate and magnesium citrate, which are fluids for inside the cells. Therefore if at all possible, I would try to add, some 100 mg of potassium citrate, plus 250 mg of magnesium citrate to the supplements.
If in event the budget is limited, I would concentrate mostly on the smart drugs and alkalizing intracellular fluids (fluids inside the cells) by taking the potassium citrate and magnesium citrate, along with the usual apple cider vinegar and baking soda. However, because the insides of the cells is telling me it is acid, it means the cells inside has a lot of "lactic acidosis" and the cells have difficulty getting rid of it. Therefore, the remedy that best reduces lactic acidosis, and acid mouth appears to be the addition of apple cider vinegar with baking soda. However, potassium citrates and magnesium citrates (or a magnesium chloride), is up their on the things I think is important. Lecithin is also important too. If adrenal exhaustion is at issue perhaps twice or three times weekly 12.5 mg DHEA has been very helpful in some cases of stress, at least it helped me. These are just the important ones I would concentrate on if my budge were limited and more focus is needed. Sometimes natural therapies have a way of causing us to lose focus and we adopt the kitchen sink approaches. With greater understanding of the supplements, some focus is needed to determine which ones is helpful through understanding of the cause.
