Hi Russ,
Iv'e been atheletic all my life and know that out of all the injuries Iv'e had, this is not normal! Usually when you stretch you loosen up . Not in this case. My back is like a stiff board. When I even atempt to stretch, it won't give at all and hurts even more as if its going to break in half. The pain and weakness radiates all the way down to my hip, Quadasip and Knee. It makes me dizzy and than I loose my balance. It feels like something is constricting my lower back to where the circulation is being cut off.

The strangest thing is it subsides some times as if it is going to go away and then comes back again with a vengenous to where I can't ever relax, because the dual knife pain is constantly there not allowing me to get comfortable no matter what position I'm in. At night I'm half awake because I'm even in more pain.

Your right that sweating and exercise is excellent for detoxing and for good health!!! I know exercise is one of the major reasons Iv'e lived this long!!! Although I can't do the excercises I did before, Gi gong is excellent to get the energy flowing. Most all illnesses have energy blockages. I'm reading about Gi gong exercises, reflexology, and acupressure. These are excellent for pain and illnesses which all these get the energy flowing. I hope that Gi gong will be affective enough to clean the lymphatic system as you said, although its more mild than the kind of excercising Iv'e done before. The bottom line though is to get this junk out of my mouth and something safe in instead. Otherwise, I,m just buying time but not getting rid of the root of the problem.

I do the clay baths every 2 weeks now and the water is hot enough to where it makes me sweat alot. Unfortunately it doesn't help with the stiffness and pain, although I feel much better as far as detoxing heavy metals.

Since I should sweat alittle everyday, far infared saunas are excellent for detoxing just as the clays are. Also going in the sun at least 3 days a week for a 1/2 hour. i'm going to start these things.

Also I'm taking a saliva test with an Alternative medicine doctor who was highly recommended. He uses the Gas chromatagraph machine to test your energy flow, and other things. This machine can even detect cancer. I'll let you know how this goes!!!

Thank you so very much Russ for your compassion and advise. Its always good to know that there is someone out there that doesn't only care, but is also very knowledgale too!!! My family is no support at all. They think I'm absoutely insane and that I'm a hypocondrac!!! They constantly call me on the phone and leave me feeling terable about myself. I even had to fly to Colorado when I got all the metals out by myself as sick as I was. Certain family members could have come to assist me, but didn't. My fiance' had a serious situation at the time to where it was understandable that there was no way he could go.

I try to avoid the phone calls, but they all keep calling me. I'm already in enough physical pain and don't need the phycological stress to lower my immune system even more. Believe me, they upset me so much that I'm upset for a week. My health always gets worse right after I talk to them, and right when I start to feel better, they call me again!!! If you were in this situation, how would you handle this. Would you tolorate it this kind of abuse? I'm trying real hard to cut my ties with them as far as communicating with them often. I will always love them though and help them everyway I can if they need help though. My fiance, you, and alot of the people on this forum are the only ones who understand the magnitude of mercury and heavy metal toxicity!!!

Thank you for being so supportive,Russ!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

It's hard to believe it could be that my body is finally healiing since I still have candidas, fungus, I'm still overweight and look 8 months pregnant from the Bis phenol A in my composites. Also the 2 bone infections, are getting even more infected and are hurting more now.

With all the negative things that are going on my mouth, it would probaly be a miracle if my body was getting better rather than worse!!! But than again, all those other allergies I had went away through the Type A diet so maybe I am getting better.
