How do you remove odor after choline load for TMAU Test?

Q & A on the MEBO TMAU Test Program
Posted in the MEBO Forum

Please read the Question and Answer Section of the MEBO Forum to see what sufferers who are testing/have tested through this program had to say. Here is a sample of one Q & A about, “WAYS TO CLEAN UP ODOR AFTER THE CHOLINE LOAD?”

QUESTION:

Like many I'm guessing there is hesitancy to choline load because of the complications involved in detoxing and reeking for months thereafter - any recommendations on how to alleviate that other than anticipating to be a social recluse until the odor wanes again?

ANSWER:

Based on what sufferers have shared in forums with the community, what seems to work best is to go back on the low choline diet (chart begins on page 12) and to do a lot of cardiovascular exercise that produce a lot sweating and heavy breathing as the blood circulates through the kidneys and lungs. Of course, this would require that you drink a lot of water to hydrate and to help the kidneys and skin wash away the odorous chemicals too, and for the lungs to breath them out as well. Rinsing your sinuses with the Neti Pot and tongue scraping is also helpful as the salt in the water and tongue scraping helps remove the TMA-containing mucous that may have built up.

Some sufferers prefer to repeat the TMAU Odor Management Protocol noted in the U.S. National Institutes of Health webpages, while others find that going on the diet, drinking a lot of water and doing cardiovascular exercise does the trick. You might want to read a post in MEBO’s Blog that has Q & A between the blogs readers and me.

My sons and I have found that cardiovascular exercise that makes us perspire profusely is the BEST way to clean out our system. The key is to drink a lot of water as part of the “washing” process and to ingest as little choline as possible until the odor is somewhat controlled again.

MEBO and the lab have an agreement that I can only send them a batch of a minimum of 20 samples at a time, and I am just shy of the 20 samples right now. I am expecting a few this coming week from persons shipping them on Monday or Tuesday, to go over the 20 sample count. However, since the samples can only be shipped on a Monday or Tuesday to avoid weekend delays, I have to wait until October 10th to ship them to the lab. There have been 52 already purchased samples sent out to sufferers around the world, so for those who don't return their samples until after October 10th, their samples will be sent as the 2nd batch to the lab when I receive at least 20 of them.
