Tracy, I really hope you are feeling better today. Hopefully getting out your amalgams will be a turning point for you. I feel it has been for me. Do you have a date set to have them out? I now get frustrated if I can’t be up and about doing things all day where as a few months ago I was lucky if I could get out of bed and do just one thing.

I am very lucky that my husband is able to stay home and look after my daughter (who is 2). If he wasn't able to do that I dread to think where I would be right now. I understand where Demi is coming from, the guilt of not being able to be there properly for your children is a big one. Most of the time I try and focus on getting better rather than feeling guilty as it doesn’t help myself or my family.

As to what I do during the day, it varies from being in bed all day through to moving to the couch (a big step up!) and on great days I can go out a little bit with my daughter. Lately I have even been able to run around with her a little bit and play. I also (attempt) to work part time from home, luckily it's all over the internet/phone so I don't need to deal with clients direct.

I had my amalgams out about 2 months ago now. I am doing DMSA rounds and they are making a big difference. I am taking it real slow (only 6mg doses) and the rounds are often a couple of weeks apart if I feel my body isn't up to it.

For the topic of oils/fats etc.. I use coconut oil for everything .. it is supposed to have some wonderful health benefits.

How about
