Thanks everyone, yup I’m pretty happy it's all gone <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thanks.gif" alt="" />

Treva: yup, I only take charcoal when I have amalgams out. It is used to soak up any stray mercury that I might swallow. It also soaks up everything else in there at the same time, so I waited a couple of hour before taking the Vit C as the charcoal would have just soaked that up too.

I took 10 before, and another 10 after……

Charcoal is not the reason I get such difficult symptoms afterwards. I always get a repeat performance of the symptoms 7/14 and 21 days afterwards and I don’t have charcoal then. Each time slightly less bad the previous week. bloody ‘mare really.

Lindalou: Yeah…..loads of plans. Plans coming out my ears. Andy Cutlers protocol here we come. Read the blasted book 3 times now. Frequent low dosage of DMSA 3 days on, 4 days off, every 3-4 hours, starting at a low dosage of 12.5mg. Starting next Friday.

How did I discover about sodium bicarbonate(SB) and brain fog?

I learned about SB when I learned all about PH values and how to alkalise the body. You know the acid/alkaline balance stuff. Over on curezone there is a strange dude called “Askmoreless”, he has loyal following of people he has helped and I spent some time soaking up some of his words. The baths I got from him. I now have my own vegetable patch at home because he introduced me to refractometers. They show you the quality of the food you eat, (or rather the lack of quality) how mineralised it is and therefore how good it is for you. You squeeze some juice from, for example your carrot, into the refracometer and it gives you a reading and it tells you how healthy that bit of food is. I tested all my fruit and veg from different locations, from budget supermarket food, to gourmet organic stuff. £30 from ebay if I remember correctly. Really interesting stuff….…..but I can tell I’m getting off the beaten track…..again.

i have been using SB in my Epsom salt baths all year. I have been having them everyday for the past 2 weeks in the build up to the last removal. Why? Because removal effects me so badly I need to try and be in as best possible shape before hand. These really help in alkalising my body. I have been repeatedly told “Alka-Seltzer Gold” is good for brain fog, but I couldn’t find it in UK, so I looked up the ingredients, saw that SB was in it. I have some to hand….and gave it a try and it worked. That was yesterday.

Today I been feeling so bad I had to have a day off work. The brain fog has been hammering at my door all day today, but everytime I start getting real spacey, I have a small teaspoon of the stuff in a glass of water. I think I have had 6 dosages today. This is the first time I have done this and it worked fantastically well. I will certainly be using it again whenever I get the dreaded brain fog. 7 out of 10 in effectiveness. I found that together with the baths it works best. 500g of the stuff costs £1.69 @ Boots.

From what I remember, sodium bicarbonate should only be used for a limited time, like 1 or 2 days at a time. Don’t remember why. So I will only be using it when the fog is serious and it was very serious today <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
