Hi Mello!

It's interesting you mention some of these things. I just found out that I had a severe lack of iodine in my diet (I had given up iodised salt and taken on just rock salt (natural sea salt). Don't get me wrong, natural salts are good and do not contain the anti caking agents that table salt does, etc. BUT, the damage from less iodine was much worse and did me more damage than the undesirables in iodised table salt. That's how important iodine is, though I'd recommend gaining it from sources that maybe a lot healthier than table salt. My hands are now warmer again since getting iodine back in. Though I have to be careful, iodine for me seems to cause detox/healing type symptoms and I can't honestly handle it for long. I have had to cut right down due to that. My body also cannot eliminate what's being stirred up and moved around, so therefore I have to take it easier.

And apparently celtic sea salt is a good thing to take for adrenals also. Some take it in their vitamin C drinks, which apparently is one method used against Lyme disease? The salt and C "cure". As well as whatever other benefits it would likely give.

I'm wary of colloidal silver because there are people who apparently have developed the skin discoloration associated with intake of colloidal silver (possibly too much and/or long term use). This is apparently irreversible once it happens and that's not something i'd be willing to take my chances on personally. Even if it's rare. Apparently this is where "blue bloods" got their name! (due to drinking out of silver cups and developing the same problem)....how true this is? I don't know, I was "told" this and have also read about the discolouration online. Though it's obviously got wonderful properties against infections (apparently), the idea of turning a bluish/greyish colour and staying that way isn't worth it to me. I have already gone grey in the face at onetime due to metal poisoning (and working in an aluminium factory). I literally turned grey. But at least it was temporary.

Not sure about the glutathione IV however. Some with mercury apparently can get far too many redistribution symptoms from it, as with cysteine and methionine etc. It does depend on the invidual I guess. Some can handle NAC though.

I've heard that no matter how one goes about it, it still takes years to come right many times post amalgam removal.....so you messed around for 4 years before figuring it out? During that time, it's still highly possible you were still getting some of these toxins out, because the most perfect protocol is going to take time. Admittedly a good one used early on should speed that up and make it much easier too.

I messed around for ages before figuring out Andy Cutler's was the one that suited me and finally got me right. I guess it's different for everybody. No one protocol is obviously going to be ideal in all situations. You can only hope it will help others as it helped you.

Thanks so much for sharing this.
