Hi Pgm, yeah you can relate! you know instinctively that it's not "you", because there are patches where I have been better and this part of it tends to lift as well.

I think I have relapsed to be honest. I got rid of amalgams and chelated and improved out of sight, but when other things shattered my immune system, all these problems came back too! Though it's possible there is brain mercury involved here that was never fully chelated out. Which is why ALA interests me.

But again, I'm dealing with more problems than what I was when it was just mercury. AT least then I was able to get control of yeast with simply avoiding sugar and gluten and could still eat non gluten grain, fruit and potatoe chips! Wow, I can't believe I could do that.

But since the virus/bacteria problems, I cannot even have an alcohol coffee without almost a complete relapse and forget grain and fruit, can't touch any at all, including potatoes.

So definitely my situatioin is far worse than what it ever was. I live now day to day like this and one tiny slip up is devastating. I feel like I"m going crazy in a way! I had an alcoholic coffee last night which was made by a relative with good intentions (with a bit of milk added) and I was up in a lot of distress last night and I'm even worse again!

So for some people, the battle with diet etc is quite extreme. I'm just lucky that I can eat other healthy foods and I know the ones I'm "okish" with, and I barely ever dare to deviate, but of course being XMas, though I've done very well and avoided all the bad stuff, one alcohol coffee wtih milk added was enough!

Ridiculous eh? I'm really glad that you're getting results with chelation and I know that ALA clears brain mercury too, and if I recall stubborn ongoing yeast issues I think were related to brain mercury if I remember what andy said once....though mine happened with the infections, I can still hope that ALA "might" do "something"......here's hoping. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />
