Very glad to hear you're finding relief with algin. I also find relief within 30 minutes.

To answer your question; no, I don't experience those symptoms with algin, however, they are both well-known symptoms of mercury.

I used to be so thirsty, when I would go out to eat, the server would just set the tea pitcher on the table and pass an "unspoken-understanding" grin to me. I drank 6 to 8 (sometimes more) full glasses of tea with a meal (not good).

I'm 4 years post removal (July 2000) and I drink 1 to 2 glasses of beverage with a meal now.

Anyway, I don't really have any other effects from taking algin other than relief of symptoms.

About reducing your intake: It might work just as well with less depending on your digestive transit time. Give it a try if you want and let us know what happens.

Best of luck to you. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
