Jinx, this has happened to you more than once. I think people have tried to suggest almost anything and everything to help, but there comes a point where we run out of answers. It is a feeling of total helplessness.

What happened last time this occured? Somehow you got back to a bit more stability.....last time I seem to remember it was after some kind of cleanse you did - enema? Everything went crazy after that. Then after time, things got a touch more stable. This time it's another cleanse you did and possibly the garlic.

Another time it was cilantro that messed you up. I think these things are proving very very risky for you (garlic, cilantro, cleanses). You took ALA this time, but you stopped after two doses....this is very risky. On top of the reaction you've had, you don't need to risk making anything worse.

If you're going to start a round of ALA, you must continue to take it around the clock for about 3 days. Stopping after only a dose or two can make matters worse.

I wish I could help Jinx, but I cannot tell you how many times I was in dire situations with nobody to get me back out of it. I just laid in anguish in my room time after time and still do. Once a reaction like this happens, there is little to take to be able to just fix it.

Frequent DMSA can sometimes stablise a reaction, some people find algin helps. I am trying to think what can help you with this and it is very hard. I am scared of making a dire situation even worse.

It is horrible that people with this are left to agonise on their own for the most part. This is what this stuff can do and when you do ANYTHING wrong at all, even innocently eating something or taking something that might mobilise it, you can be totally tortured beyond belief.

garlic supplementation did this to me twice. Though I believe some of that is due to internal infection of some kind reacting with it. Possibly weakened barriers that are allowing things to happen that might not normally occur. But I sure got hurt by it.

Yet at one stage I coudl take it and do really well. It helped me. What the heck happened? I wish I knew. Sadly once a reaction like that happened, I had to suffer it. DMSA did actually eventually help me to some extent, but I had to keep using it.
