HI Mati, thanks for that. Thanks for the help, I need all I can get. I have got a load of tests done now. I have read two books and I’m on my third. I am finding it tricky to know what to do. I now know whats wrong, but its real complicated to get my head around what to do about it. So many conflicting infomations. The mercury stuff was relatively easy, but this is hard work. no way can do this on my own. My local quack is on the case, but its unlikely I will be willing to take what he will push onto me. I have lost all faith in our health system and that includes the drug companies products they so want me to buy. Some other lines of enquiry have gone nowhere. I need sit down with someone and find a plan that fits in with what I believe & what I am and am not willing to take.

As every with me its never bloody easy. Its not just one thing, its everything thats wrong! My adrenals need support, my thyroids too, testosterone too. Everything! From what I understand its treat adrenals first.
