Did anybody have trouble with exercise and detox?

Yep. I used to do weight lifting, pushups, situps,... during day. After starting amalgam removals five months ago (had 17, only 2 left), I lost energy and will for any exercise and if I force myself I get flue like symptoms. I gained about 15 pounds in the process. I suppose that is good, since fat competes with brain for mercury, so some of the released mercury is now stored in the fat. Once I start DMSA chelation (at the end of December after the last 2 amalgams are out), I intend to slowly shed the weight gained and let DMSA pick the mercury captured in the newly gained fat.
