I was picking up someone I love very much at the airport in the city of Boston Massachusetts. I had forgot to bring what I needed to supplement and it was worth it to me to suffer any consequence rather than have the person wait for me after a day of flights.
It ended up being 12 hours including driving in the city and the eustress of being with the person I love.
A came home and supplemented then slept for 8 hours then supplemented.
I use the method of splitting my suplimentation into 5 to 6 times per day. Which may not be a good idea. Work to be done on that. It may be all at once is more effective.
I decided to not supplement on any schedule and supplement when I knew for sure that I needed to do so for 7 days. At six days I felt I had gathered as much information as I could glean and went back to my schedule with my known results.
Information I gained.
--I can go 12 hours and still function well. I did notice a slight downturn at 6 hours after reviewing my texts. (If I travel I will utilize sublingual as I have successfully done in the past.)
--At 8 hours between supplementing I cannot definitively determine a downturn immediately.
--Sometimes I did not know I needed to supplement for 6 hours other times 10 etc. I expect this was from what I was doing but could not pin it down definitively.
I work with the assumption there is regime of suplimentation that I will not experience the need to supplement more based on what I am experiencing. That if that is required I am not supplementing what I need or the amounts I need.
On day 7 I went back to my known regime. What I found is that I experienced a downturn that was not apparent when supplementing less often. I was not in distress. I was surprised to learn it took my body 10 days to get back to the level of healing I experience with my current regime at the time.
As trials not based on the what works methodology often do this led me to a possible method of designing a trial.
I am going to try elimination a specific supplement and monitor. This is designed to gather information and try and avoid a non-definitive/un-noticed downturn that may occurs over time. If I notice a downturn than I will go back to that suplimentation.
If my body heals and reducing any supplement that result will be positive. Being able to reduce for any other reason I do not value.
I was injecting three forms and eliminated one and there was no effect and was a reduction of 33% of total B12.
