"Guys can house mold be causing nausea, diarrhea symptoms?"
House mold can make you very sick. My guess is that nausea from it could be very likely, however diarrhea from it might not be so likely.
If your home has mold, you need to deal with it. If it is not so bad, you can get rid of it with Tilex or bleach. If it is very bad, you might need to hire someone to fix the problem.

What about high blood pressure? Can mold cause that?

Why don't you do some Google searches? I guess mold can cause diarrhea if you swallow it, but probably not if you inhale it. I doubt that it will cause high blood pressure. There are many different types of mold though. Some are very toxic.

I remember reading about a dentist who used cat claw on his patients that had cavitations (hidden bacteria) in the mouth. He would do this before he did the surgery on them to help improve or even clear up many of their symptoms.

"Cat's Claw (Uncaria tomentosa) Is a giant woody vine that grows in the Peruvian tropical forests. It has properties that help in resistant cases of imbalanced intestinal flora, infection, sluggish digestion, poor assimilation, and bile stimulation. It is very effective as an intestinal cleanser and immune system rejuvenator, possessing antimicrobial and antiinflammatory properties. It has the ability similar to white blood cells to engulf and digest harmful microorganisms. It is a good companion herb for treating most parasites except Giardia, which actually thrives when there is bile stimulation. It is virtually nontoxic, but should not be used by pregnant women.

I have been taking cat's claw extract for a few days, and am getting a very strong reaction to it. Hopefully I am healing. It is too early to say if I am making definite progress from it.

JK, could be die off. It is apparently one treatment option for lyme disease, as well as candida/parasites (that you pointed out above). So should be interesting how things go with you.
Thanks for the extra info by the way.

Today I had my first nosebleed in several months. I took some extra vitamin K1, and plan to decrease my vitamin E intake to 200 IU a day from 400 IU, since I want to continue taking the cat's claw. I have been taking the cat's claw for a few days. I am taking the Solgar cat's claw extract 2 or 3 capsules a day. I did some research, and noticed that cat's claw is definitely an anticoagulant. Over the past few weeks my weight rose over 10 pounds. Since starting to take the cat's claw a few day's ago, I have lost around 10 pounds. My advice for the cat's claw is to start off slowly, and be careful if you tend to have nosebleeds or other bleeding. In the past I have noticed that too much vitamin E(just 400 IU a day taken for a while) gave me nosebleeds. I guess that while on the cat's claw I should limit my vitamin E supplements to 200 IU a day. http://www.rain-tree.com/catclaw.htmhttp://www.ehow.com/list_6541523_cat_s-claw-contraindications.html

My gums are not swolen. Usually if there infection you get pus and stuff. I thought about pulling the tooth but not sure now. I'm very sensitive to hot and cold temperatures. I think my headaches can be due to this tooth. I had all my amalgams replaced 5 months ago. Also replaced 4 metal crowns on root canal teeth to metal free crowns. I don't know what else to think...it could all be related to mercury... You can have an infection in a tooth for years without any pus or swelling or any signs of the infection on x ray.If a tooth hurts for a long time, it is probably infected.

Thanks for the extra info by the way. Lyme disease and all infectious diseases can be caused by many medications and by steroid hormones that lower immune response . You need to boost your immunity to fight infections.

Any idea why this is happening this way??
My brother says that when he wakes up he feels no brain fog but when he's on his feet as the day goes on it comes back.

He's taking Chelorex and it makes his head feel heavy like a brick so he told me he stopped. I'm thinking it could be due to his diet too because he eats like 1-2 times per day. Not too healthy either. He takes lots of vitamins plus Chelorex so I'm thinking it could also be related to overdose of vitamins.

"My brother says that when he wakes up he feels no brain fog but when he's on his feet as the day goes on it comes back." Sounds like it could be hypoglycemia, dehydration, or perhaps a deficiency of sodium or potassium. In this hot weather, it is important to not just drink extra water, but also to take in extra sodium and potassium, as well as other minerals. Is he eating well? Getting enough protein, vitamins, and minerals? "He's taking Chelorex and it makes his head feel heavy like a brick " Why use chelorex? Have you looked at its ingredients? Serving Size: 18 Caplets Servings per Container: 30 Vitamin C (as ascorbic acid) 1,000 mg 1,667% Vitamin E (as d-alpha tocopheryl succinate) 400 IU 1,333% Magnesium (as magnesium aspartate) 500 mg 125% Zinc (as zinc citrate) 20 mg 133% Selenium (as sodium selenite) 200 mcg 286% Chelorex? Proprietary Blend 6.9 g * MSM (Methylsufonylmenthane), Cracked Cell Chlorella, N-Acetyl-L-Cysteine, L-Glutamine, Taurine, Cilantro Leaf Extract and Alpha-Lipoic Acid. http://www.detoxhealth.com/chelorexingredients.htmlALA needs to be taken every 3 hours to minimize redistribution. Is he taking 18 capsules a day? It looks like 18 capsules costs around $3? Buying these ingredients separately allows more control over dosages, and will probably cost less.

He's taking vitamins in capsule form including olive leaf extract, magmnesium, vit c, e, fish oils. I don't think he eats enough protein and has a good diet. He eats 1-2 times a day(fast food) which is bad. He drinks enough liquids. He was taking chelorex in liquid form not in capsule. He also got chelorex chelation multi vitamin formula. He was taking ala 2 a day.

When he had his blood work done his glucose I think was low. Isn't that hypoglycemia?

He only eats 1 or 2 times a day? If he thinks he might have hypoglycemia, eating 5 or 6 small meals each day is the best idea. Also eating a low carbohydrate diet is important. Eating enough protein is very important.
One supplement that has helped me decrease the symptoms of chemical sensitivity is molybdenum. I take 1,000 mcg a day, but 500 mcg a day might be enough. Thorne makes 1,000 mcg molybdenum capsules. Carlson makes 500 mcg molybdenum tablets.

Did anyone of you guys ever try doing that?

I never used spirulina. I think it is supposed to be very nutritious, but some people get a strong reaction to it.
I don't know if castor oil used externally is really helpful. Taken internally though, it can be dangerous.

Does taking melatonin help with brain fog/mercury toxicity in the brain?

I dont know if it can mobilize mercury in any way, but when I took it I've found that the brainfog got alot worse, allthough nothing permanent. When I stopped taking it, it only took a few days to restore relative normality, or as things was before, atleast.
I tried taking it at night as a natural sleeping pill for my insomnia, which it worked for, however it would always make me feel incredible hazy on the following day. Actually caught myself downright dreaming in awake states on several occasions, heh.
One of my friends had good effects(not incredible) taking it also for insomnia, dont think she is mercury toxic though. Maybe it would have worked on me to, if I have had the opportunity to "sleep it out" so to say.

"Does taking melatonin help with brain fog/mercury toxicity in the brain?"
No. Maltonin only helps at with insomnia. its effectiveness decreses over time, and larger and larger doses tend to be needed. I used it a number of years ago, but stopped using it as it stopped being effective. At higher doses, it can have plenty of side effects. Imo melatonin is not a good supplement to use.
Detox teas such as Triple Leaf Detox Tea and Yogi Detox tea might help alleviate brain fog, however imo the most effective supplement for brain fog is molybdenum.

I use melatonin for periods when I have trouble sleeping. It really helps with short-term sleep issues, but it does become less effective over several days, so short-term use is best.

so why does Cutler recommend it for mercury detox then???
I know that beans have lots of molybdenum in them.

Beans do have some molybdenum, but only around 125 mcg per cup. To get 500 mcg a day from beans means eating 4 cups per day. For 1,000 mcg it means eating 8 cups a day. Most people usually mix beans with other things, and only eat half a cup or a cup a day at most.
I told a friend that he should take at least 3 grams a day of vitamin C to help fight a sinus infection he has. He said that he eats oranges. I told him that to get 3 grams a day of vitamin C from oranges means eating 60 of them!
