Hi everyone!

Just a bit confused about eating sulphur foods with a hypothyroidism issue. I hear that sulphur foods are good for mercury detoxification so I have been eating heaps of eggs, asparagus, broccoli etc. However, yesterday my doctor told me that I have Hashimoto's disease, which I had actually suspected for some time so it is not such a shock.

I am confused because sulphur is apparently good for mercury detox but not good for low thyroid conditions. Just wondering if anyone has any comments about this.

Thanks from Rachel

PS. Sorry I haven't been posting much lately. I am now about 8 weeks post removal. I have had a lot of problems in regards to my teeth and have lost a few and am only just starting to overcome the intense pain that I have been enduring for about 7 weeks and am no longer on heavy duty painkillers. I guess that all of this has made me really anti-social and I have become a bit of a hermit. My mercury symptoms got really bad during the removal period but are now subsiding to about the level it was prior to removal. My doctor does not want me to start DMSA for another 3 months. I feel fine with that. I am now just doing the Anti Candida diet which has made my mental symptoms MUCH better and using all the regular supplements and some herbs for my liver and kidneys and 3-4 saunas per week. Just getting myself ready for the DMSA I suppose Still avidly reading everyone's posts though. xx
