I found that detox symptoms with mercury could fluctuate and sometimes were extremely intense. Symptoms for me could be any of the following or all of them - crying, salivating, rashes, nausea, muscle aches, exhaustion, metal taste, metal smell, feeling just yuck (I can't explain it), basically all my symptoms would intensify, depression, anxiety, brain fog, drugged feeling, swollen tongue, etc.

I understand. When my CFS first started I had intense anxiety and usually woke up wanting to cry. I had to use drugs (Xanax, Wellbutrin, Klonopin) to just keep going. Now over 4 years later the anxiety has subsided and I no longer need to take Rx but the cr*ppyness remains. The Chlorella brought me right back to when I first started with the intense anxiety.

I THINK it might be because the mercury may have mobilized to the adrenals and maybe thyroid. If you check the literature you'll see that of the few actual diseases doctors recognize that cause anxiety involve adrenal and thyroid. Mercury has a strong affinity for those two glands I've read.

Even vitamin C powder was enough sometimes to cause an eruption of symptoms. I think it's because they are powerful antioxidants (C, E and selenium) and increase glutathione, which aids the removal of toxins. Which is great, but not to the point where you cannot handle the symptoms.

Have you read the theories in Autism that involve methylation and glutathione?
