Steve,
I know what you mean about chemical sensitivity. Even 5 years post-removal, I'm still quite sensitive to perfumes in particular...they can give me an instant headache and make me feel very irritable and even anxious if I smell them for too long. (This usually only happens in places like restaurants where someone will lots of perfume on will get seated right next to me...I usually end up moving to another table if I can.)
I also no longer use chemical hair colors (even the wash-out kind), shampoos and conditioners, and even moisturizers. These things were causing me mild to moderate symptoms that at first, I didn't realize were the cause. Now I'm careful to read the labels on anything I'm going to put on my body.
However, the good news is that I see improvement. Of course, not eveyone has 20 fillings like I did. Plus, for about 20 years I only drank sodas and ate non-healthy foods (junk food, fast food and microwaveable stuff). I even drank diet sodas for at least 2-3 years...it's a miracle I'm not dead or brain-damaged...I was a walking metal/chemical cocktail...mercury, aluminum, MSG, aspartame, etc.
I'm really glad to hear that the Algin seems to be helping. Please keep us posted about any other improvements you notice.
