Interesting thread guys....just goes to show how bad alcohol is for us. I know firsthand about that. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

"Seems excacerbated by cold weather and having nights drinking alcohol. I think excersise helps but not sure. Its just so frustrating that I don't kno what it is!"

Our bodies produce acetaldehyde gas when we drink and it methylates mercury, that is why it feels worse when we drink...sugar and caffeine also methylate mercury to a lesser degree.

"Mayb my problems are more candida/parasite/bacteria related than I think. My complexion is better today too which I can relate to the olive leaf also. I think it also does wonders for the immune system. Bowels also working better too, all in only 3 days!"

Candida harbours mercury, so we feel better when we get rid of it, and it clogs up our colon and bladder so we don't eliminate the toxins as well either. As long as we have mercury we will have candida, our bodies produce it as a buffer from mercury's toxic effects.

"A physcial symptom that I could actually feel which I noticed was that when I had the beer, my face seemed like it was colder, particularly my nose, cheeks and eyes, and this is usually accompanied by cold extremeties which I get a lot, which does signal poor circulation."

Good detective work Joey, you solved it, good job listening to your body. Acetaldehyde and mercury have a synergistic toxicity....mercury is used in it's manufacture.....I read that somewhere. I think it was in an article about the mercury in Miminata Bay, that is a very interesting read. I will see if I can find it. I still get cold too, and exercise is really good for that...merury does affect circulation big time.

Take care and keep up the good work.
