I hit bottom again and the last few weeks have been tough. I have had a few good days but my health is still marginal.

I've read a lot about peptide poisoning from gluten and casein and I think that I'm going through withdrawal. The theory is that once you greatly reduce or elminate those things in your diet the opiate peptides that they produced begin to leave your brain and you can develop withdrawal symptoms such as agitation and depression. I've read that it can take one or two years for the brain to recover from this.

I have seizures and severe headaches almost every day and it's hard to keep going and believe that things will get better.

I'm still taking some DMSA and ALA per the Cutler Protocol to deal with any mercury that may be left in my body. However, now I see that mercury is just part of the problem so I'm putting a lot of focus on eating a good diet.
