Hi there, I typed you an email about your brother's situation. I am not a professional, but have suffered extensively from this condition and have nearly ended up in a mental hospital myself. I have done much reading and have gone through sheer hell and maybe able to offer some suggestions.

I hope you find my email in your inbox. Please check your junkmail folder in case, as some emails can end up there instead. I hope it might be helpful to you. Am very sorry to hear of this situation, but you're not alone!

Extensive cleansing diets if they are too close to a state of fasting (vegetarianism), can be very risky in mercury toxic sitatuions, because it can leave one more exposed and vulnerable to the direct effects of the toxic metals. Which is why they can be dangerous. This is why it is wise to make sure a person is consuming enough protein and fat for tissue protection and buildilng up. Avoiding sugar, gluten, wheat, etc is great because they are toxic themselves and feed candida, but overcleansing with not eating enough proteins and fats and not eating meat etc, can just be dangerous in this situatino to some people. Your brother maybe one of them.

Again, hope my email my help.

take care

Bex.
