Hi sosick, no I do not eat sausages at all normally. I ate them years ago and didn't feel well, but recovered much better because I was not as ill as I am now. But that should have been a big enough warning never to touch them again.

I was at my brother's house this time around and got very very hungry. His wife was cooking sausages with cheese and of course what did I do? I gave in and ate them. Well, aside from the hot chips (potatoes which feed candida) you can imagine.

ONe week later I'm still not ok. I dont know if it's the nitrates or what, but my yeast issues are not resolving at all, even on this diet this time around.

Thanx for posting that though because I'll be sure to never touch them again. Normally I eat roast beef, chicken, beef livers, lamb, vegetables, yoghurt, nuts etc. So I do eat very well. Do you think the nitrates on that one meal would have caused this much damage???? I mean it's been over a week now.

Thanx also Aaron for your comments. Yep, everybody is different and yes so much of this is not just mercury but many other issues rolled into one. If it was just mercury I'd not be here now because I was already healing from that years ago. Now it's much more in the mix, which is why I dont respond to chelation I guess.

I hope that my symptoms might improve a bit though on this diet, I am trying hard but seemingly getting nowhere. You say it took you about a month or so...well I hope that in my case it does also (preferably earlier). <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
