Laura, thanks for the info about colloidal silver. I wish I'd known about the uses for cracked nipples and poorly fish. From now on I'll be a bit more experimental with it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Dawn, nice to talk to you. Thanks for the link to the DMSA 25mg site. My hope is that if it helps, I'll ask my GP if he'll give it to me on the NHS. Have you tried this?

I keep getting a lot of anxiety in the evenings, I don't know why. The past couple of nights it's been particularly bad. In past days I have eaten meals loaded with garlic, onions, eggs, coriander, basil, etc and been OK, haven't eaten many of those things lately. I keep saying the dreary weather must be affecting me, but it's hard to know. I hope you are keeping dry down there in the south, we're getting drenched every day!

And yes, what you say about diet is important. Thanks for reinforcing it. I work online with a naturopathic doctor and she says the same, that the number one thing you can do for your health is eat a good diet. I really have been getting awful persistant sugar cravings but it's nice to be told here to hang in there and resist. I know I'm not alone. When I'm feeling better the cravings fade. It really helps, knowing that if I ate it I'd thoroughly mess up my efforts at chelation.

Dawn, can I ask how you know your mercury levels are still high? Have you had a test done, or are you going by your symptoms?
