But guess what -- I just found it. Along with half a dozen bottles of supplements I forgot I had... doh!
Thanks, Tif, and thanks, Lymetoo. You're the best! Sorry about that.

I assume this is a different Dr. C than the one that uses NutraMedix products.

I think it may be my LLMD in MO.

Anyone who has trouble detoxing through the Cytochrome P-450 pathway should be very careful in considering - L-tryptophan.
Search PubMed on what it says about tryptophan and porphryia (the state of having too many toxic porphyrins as a result of the C P-450 detox pathway being overwhelmed).
Forms of tryptophan can cause problems in that situation as patients who have porphryia have altered tryptophan metabolism.
Now, it's not clear if this is just for the genetic porphyria's or also for the acquired, secondary or chronic forms which can occur during chronic infection and with a liver that is overwhelmed by detoxing.
It also might be that if the liver is adequately supported this might work okay.
