Question to Dr. T on PEA Supplement

Question:

I tried PEA Healthy Inflammation Response and initially felt it was helpful, but then the effect seemed to plateau and didn't last. I tried multiple dosage levels, but then stopped taking it a few months ago. I'm thinking of trying again and I'm curious about any feedback you might have received from others and if you have additional advice. Thanks!!!

Answer:

The PEA supplement has been very helpful for people. But here is the key: PEA treats just one of the four key components of the pain process. And people do best when all four of these are treated. I'm currently writing a book that discusses how to do this.

For an excellent start, address these four key components of pain:

1. Muscle pain from low energy in the tissues. A simple way to begin is with a good high potency multivitamin. I recommend the Energy Revitalization Drink Mix.
2. Balance inflammation. A key thing for this is an herbal that balances both the LOX and COX components of inflammation. For this I recommend Curamin® 2 capsules 2x a day.
3. Address nerve pain when present. The vitamin powder above also helps this, and I add the supplement Alpha Lipoic Acid 600 milligrams a day
4. Brain Pain. For this is excellent. I also consider adding low dose naltrexone if the person is not on narcotics. (If you'd like more information on these, you can email Dr. T at FatigueDoc@gmail.com and request the PEA and LDN information sheets.)

Although these are just simple ways to begin, they can be dramatically effective. Given the plateau that you are seeing it's reasonable to combine all four of these. It takes about six weeks for the vitamin powder and Curamin to show their full effects and about 3 months for the lipoic acid, LDN and PEA to show their full effects.

Hope this is helpful.

Love and Blessings.
