Actually you want to keep ATP levels high and not drive your cells to hard as they are fighting the infection that's depleting them of ATP for their survival and replication.  They are ATP dependent as I don't think they have the ability to produce their own.

Mitochondria being pushed to hard can result in permanent damage, even in healthy person, so imagine someone with c.pneumonia harbouring inside their cells or any intra-celluar infection for that matter

take care

The injetion you are refering to I believe is called AMP.  Not to many physcians are familar with them.  I think they also add a good methyl b-12 in with the injection. I forgot the gentlemens name but he pioneered these injections for people with mitochondrial fatigue

I have tried these injections and while at first it gave me some boost it would then taper by about 4-5 hrs.  My thought is, once again the infection was being fed it's expensive source of ATP rapidly consuming it once again leaving my cells critical. 

In a healthy person relatively infection free (intra-cellular) it would be like recharging a dead battery and over time would see some remarkable gains provided they were consistent with the shots.

A cheaper method might be just regular old D-Ribose and B-vitaminsi [8]. 

 I agree with Brian. Don't limit ATP (it's tryptophan that you want to not supplement).  Swanson's has an ATP supplement that boosted me, but the effect wore off after a couple days. Dr. Stratton uses pyruvate, an ATP precursor, to boost ATP, and it helps limit porphyriai [9] by boosting available ATP: porphyrins are produce because of ATP deficit. Remove the deficit and porphrin production stops. Takes 2-3 grams of pyruvate, every hour or two until symptoms lessen.

you are TOTALLY right!  it was AMP (monophosphate)..  yeah, i can remember how long the relief was, but it sure worked!  thanx for the info, i appreciate it..  its NICE to know i dont have to limit the end product that give us ALL energy!  oh, ive tried D ribose it too does help!
