I had a hair test and it said my mercury levels were very low. I'd been chelating hard for months before that so the mercury would have been in my system and would have got into my hair, presumably. My feeling at the moment is that I'm clear apart from what the candida is releasing that I (think) I'm killing. I don't want the mercury being re-absorbed from that.

Thanks for all the info here, looking forward to doing these cleanses and hopefully feeling better. I'm glad you can take herbs for a bowel cleanse. Enemas . . . they don't sound very pleasant.
