Hi Mr. Sunshine and others <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hell on Earth, that's where I am at right now unfortunately. I got mercury toxic in 2005 then had a period where I got better, doing a macrobiotic diet, acupuncture, real healthy living. Then the good life got good and I got relaxed and took a few drinks here and there, decided to start living normal again and try to put all this mercury toxicity nonsense behind me. And then summer 2007 - BANG, just started getting worse and worse until in Dec 2007 I could no longer work or do much of anything on my own. Had no clue why I was so bad, until I found an alternative medicine lady who found parasites. However she thought she could cure me with mebendazole, got a bit better for a few days, then boom, March was so sick again didn't understand why...I should have figured it out, that parasites are not something you can just get rid of with one set of some dumb medication. Then in April I found another alternative medicine doc who confirmed parasites where still there and told me it was giardia, so I was able to do a bit more narrowed down research on what to do about it. Ofc, in the mean time I must have seen about 15 docs, had 5-6 blood tests, 4 stool samples, god knows what else, all coming back NEGATIVE and doctors telling me I am in great health, when I was in fact too knocking on death's door, losing weight not able to stand on my feet, completely devasted...

So right now I am doing the parasite cleanse (paraprotex) which I started in late April. I am also on day 5 of bentonite. I read you can do it pretty much non-stop 3 weeks on, 1 week off for a long time to cleanse the bowels. I am cleansing a lot and the more I get out the worse symptoms I have, like this morning...I thought I would really go mad with panic. Last night I woke up all sweaty with some weird feeling in my chest. I know this buggers have spread hence my symptoms are so severe. However, it seems I am doing a good job killing them if I can hang through all of this, I should come out better and healthier, right? I must believe that in order to make it.

The bottle has 100 capsules and I am taking 2 a day, but am wondering if at some point I should up to 3 per day and speed up the cleanse, or if it ultimately doesn't matter how long it takes, as long as I finish the bottle, which is what is recommended. What do you think Sunshine? Speed up the pace, or steady wins the race?

I am just hoping that by the end of the first cleanse I should be able to start functioning, this is really how desperate I am to get better, I would do anything. I am so tired, finding no support except here on the forum and from my husband, but this is really wearing us down as I am also under financial stress... Hoping that I am finally on the right path and I am so very sorry that the first doc when I got my first symptoms just put me on sedatives.

So right now I am doing a healthy diet, veggie juicing, acupuncture (when I can afford it), parasite cleanse and bentonite clay. I cannot do anything about the environmental toxins, I live in a very polluted city and this is not helping. Am not about to move though in this shape. Hoping that what I am doing right now will help heal my gut and therefore get me on the road to being better again.
