Hi Smitho, thanks, it's good to be back too!

It may seem strange that your symptoms fluctuate, but when it's mercury it's very normal that it's "strange". I learned that very quickly. That's why they refer to this as a roller coaster ride. Continual fluctuations of symptoms.

Good move to take some time out from detoxing, the body is probably trying to do some of it anyway (which it can) and needs to recover a bit as well. Otherwise you just flood yourself with toxins that the body couldn't eliminate, but was forced into trying to. Hal Huggins causes that re-tox I think. To where a person forces themselves to do too much, and sometimes instead you get a backfire effect.

I had that many times, but there is no perfect way to remove mercury anyway.

I'm sure Hesham's detox is great, but possibly powerful and at this stage your body may find it too intense. A doc here in New Zealand, one of the best for mercury, has an approach to it and his stuff works very well, but again is very powerful. He now advises only using VERY small amounts and building up over time as tolerated.

Andy's is great in the respect of controlling symptoms more for many people, so it can be used more frequently and obviously in being able to chelate without being pushed over the edge in symptoms, you can keep going more often.

Things with me are not good. My body is in the process of trying to handle the toxins from the cigarettes that I smoked a long time ago and still cannot really eliminate them. Though sometimes it tries and I end up with strange detox symptoms (even through the eyes), and can taste some metal. This only started after the cigs, so I have no doubt that's where this is coming from.

Nothing really seems to chelate it out, so whatever chemicals/metals it has, it's not something DMSA seems able to do much for. I'm relying on my own body to do it basically and sticking to diet as much as I can to aid and support.
