I was wondering if anyone knew if these two things were related to detoxing? I woke up today with the red patch around the navel and two days ago the white tongue and today a sore throat.

I should mention that I upped my DMPS to 100mgs and ALA to 50 mgs.

Also, have itching on head and lower female area, and a little more fatigued than usual, which I think is from upping the dose.

Thanks,
Gabriella

It could be a flare up of yeast issues. Chelating can cause that, plus ALA apparently can contribute to yeast problems and so does DMSA, but DMPS not as much.

But again, detox symptoms also. Toxins are being moved around and some of them are coming out, so it is very hard not to get symptoms as they come loose and circulate around your body and in the process yeast unfortunately can certainly flare, yet at the sametime you're probably detoxing too.

So white tongue can mean candida, but often it can be toxins coming out. In fact, some people who are on a candida diet and improving, feel worsetemporarily and often get a coated tongue during that time.

Yup, sounds like candida, especially the nasty itch business, an like bex says, the white tongue , sore throat ...
I'm sure Claire wrote in recently about the red navel patch. Someone replied sayin it sounded like a parasitical reaction, sometimes the candida buddies up with the ol parasites. Miserys do love company.

hi gabriela
i had the red patch around my navel the other week it was after having kosmed treatment that my herbalist did on me and i woke up with sore throat afterwards which im still trying to get rid of and my athletes foot has come back so i thought maybe the kosmed treatmed had stared things up abit but herbalist said its maybe kicked my immune system into gear thinking its now got somthin to fight causing detox like symptoms im not sure it was a good thing or not but iv just been drinking plenty of vegatable juices.

Thanks everyone ~ I am off the chelating meds through the end of the week and today I am doing better, in all regards, so, I think its as you said, detoxing can cause this stuff to stir up. I just need to be aware that this might happen and not get concerned. I avoid foods that feed the yeast, am on an anti-yeast drug and so forth, so, just something I might have to bear as the junk moves on out. Cortisone cream helped too :-)
