Hi Bex, and thanks. You repeat yourself here tirelessly don't you. I've been browsing through old posts and I've seen you mention similar things. I've just ordered some kind of clay detox bath mixture online, see what it does, but it's also useful to know about the epsom salts. Those shouldn't be hard to find.

Yes, listening to your body is vitally important isn't it. I read a thread here where someone did round after round of DMPS even though it was making them feel incredibly awful. Because . . . it must be good fer ya.

I did learn something interesting this morning. I took the Detoxica and just left the HMD out, but still got the cluster of symptoms I described (which includes a slight metallic taste in my mouth, I forgot to add), just to a somewhat lesser degree. It must mean that the Detoxica is working too. I'm going to cease that for the rest of the day and really try to give my body a break.

The thinking was that my body would go at its own rate because without the HMD, everything else I'm taking is natural to the body. It makes glutathione out of the Detoxica. I'm taking a range of other supplements. Diet is good. Maybe this is why it still seems to want to detox, and why I had such a strong initial reaction when the amalgams came out. I've been on a supplement regime, and the Paleolithic diet (with some problems with sugar here and there) for over a year, so maybe my system has been ready and waiting to start dumping.

I don't think candida overgrowth is a problem for me . . . I don't seem to have many of the symptoms for that. I'm lucky. With my sugar addiction you'd think it would love my gut. I still have cravings, which shouldn't happen because I am eating very little sugar now, not even fruit, but it seems to be part and parcel of the depression. I know that it would really mess up the mercury detox if I ate it so I think I'll be able to muster up the willpower I need.

How are you doing yourself Bex? You help a lot of people here. I wish we could help you more. It sounds like you are doing so many things right.
