im doing really really well thanx tracy, partly because I'm taking alpha lipoic acid at the moment and really seems to be hitting the nail on the head for me. I think one of the main reasons why people get sick on ALA is that they don't sort out their copper issues first, which means that their body will be compromised in several ways , including digestion, and therefore will not be able to rid the mercury and other heavy metals effectively. being severely deficient in zinc is enough to make the body dysfunctional, but the toxic levels of copper itself are so much worse for you. I think for you it is really important to concentrate on copper at the moment if you are displaying these symptoms, and balance out your zinc/copper levels.

What I did to rid myself of copper is take zinc with every meal during the day, this alone will make you feel better. Remember to start off slow with the zinc cause taking too much to start off with will severely stir up copper. I took a zinc complex that had molybdenum, chromium, magnesium, b6 and manganese in it, of which all help to rid the body of copper. Taurine is also helpful, and will calm down the nervous system too! if you have problems with digestion then you may find that replenishing zinc will really really help you, as it is essential for digestive function (believe me I found that liquid zinc basically cured my digestive problems). Don't be discouraged if magnesium causes a bad reaction, however if it really makes you depressed after a fair time of taking it, something is not right and the type you are taking may be not the right one for you. I found that amino acid chelates were the worst type. The good ones I found were orotate, taurate and to a lesser extent, citrate.
