Sorry guys, I understand all of you are trying to help. But I am still convinced that the supplement madness is getting out of control. It seems now everyone is a vitamin guru. People should understand that recommending B complex 50mg to someone is not the same as recommending him to eat more seeds and nuts. Recommending someone tons of antioxidants, zinc supplements and liver herbs is not the same as recommending him to drink more water and eat more vegetables. Even natural things and vital nutrients can become a big problem when not used wisely and under the supervision of someone with serious medical background. I am not such kind of person, don't know about you.
I have just read some of jinx's posts and this is what I think.
Let's suppose the initial brain fog is due to mercury and it get worse after first removal.
Well, but after that Jinx goes progressively worse for months. The half life of mercury in blood is 2-5 days. And once it is stored in brain symptoms don't change, they don't get worse. Jinx is describing just the opposite picture – constant worsening. This is what makes me think it is due to wrong supplementing program.( Jinx started supplements before with first removal, not after feeling so bad)
I don't pretend to understand body chemistry very well. However, It is well known that one man's cure is another man's poison. Mercury toxic individuals are not all the same. Despite of all being mercury toxic they have very different body chemistry and taking the same supplements won't always produce the same results.
If I read correctly, someone was recommending Jinx to take DMSA. Really bad idea according to Andy Cutler's protocol, since DMSA won't chelate brain mercury but can definitely cause redistribution if body mercury is high. ALA is even worse when body mercury is high. Chealating is really like playing with fire when body mercury is high.
JINX, PLEASE STOP USING CILANTRO, DMSA, ALA, CILLANTRO, CLORELLA, GARLIC AND HIGH SULFUR FOODS. Stopping them wont do any harm, but can help.
What about COPPER? With Copper imbalance I am referring to copper deficiency.
http://mednews.wustl.edu/news/page/normal/7835.html <-- Good article on copper function in human brain.
http://jn.nutrition.org/cgi/reprint/97/1/42.pdf <-- Study on copper deficiency and brain function
What Cause Copper deficiency:
 High Zinc, Low copper intake
 High dosage of vitamin C
 Vitamin B6
 High Doses of Manganese and molybdenum
 Overactive metabolism (all those liver herbs also enhance copper exertion)
 High fructose, low copper intake
I was copper deficient for several months due to high doses of zinc, vitamin C, B complex, copper deficient diet and tons of fruit. Many of my symptoms were similar to yours. I would like to state that I don't know if this is your case but trying my suggestion won't hurt. Stop everything you are taking right now. Let's say for a week. Go on a paleolitic type diet (but the low fat variant) -> lean meats, organ meats and plenty of vegetables. The best source of copper is liver, try eating 3 servings per week. Try to reduce copper antagonists like manganese (grains and nuts) and zinc.
I understand you are convinced your problems are mercury related and I am sure some of them are. But things not always are what they seem. You won't lose anything trying my suggestion. If it doesn't help it won't hurt.
