Hi Mommy.
Congrats of starting getting the amalgams out! It is a necessary evil.
How much selenium are you taking a day? You don’t want to take too much. 200mg is the max dose a day.
I don’t know about TMJ, so I can’t help on that.
Your inclination on normal doctors is correct. They will not understand what you are doing and just prescribe drugs which will inhibit your symptoms and do nothing about the underlying problems.
It’s important to understand you have a lot of things going on at the moment, amalgam removal and Humaworm too and kids and all the other stuff I’m sure is flying about.
Amalgam removal on its own can be quite difficult. You always get a bit of a dose of mercury, it’s unavoidable, and very often this directly affects the adrenals and thyroids, putting them under stress and that’s why you feel cold. This is a complicated subject and a quick email is nowhere near enough. If u don’t have/can’t get a NP then the only why is to learn it yourself. Means you gotta read a book about it. It is important you understand you have adrenal and thyroid problems. You may not be in a position to sort them out right now, but at some point you will find some time to learn for yourself what u need to do. Quick/easy answers I don’t have. I do know lots of easy to understand books that will help you.
Salt is good to take. 100pct needs to be sea salt or rock salt. Table salt is a poison and should be avoided like the plague that it is. I still take 1 to 2 teaspoons of rock salt each day and that helps my adrenals. Kelp is good too, if you have any around, but start slow and build up slowly seeing how u feel.
I would pump up the Vit C to bowel tolerance. Mine is 12-15 grams a day. Take divided doses every 3-4 hours, pref with food, until BM’s get “loose” then back off 1 or 2 grams. This will help a lot.
Re Humaworm. You are on day 12. I believe this is your first HW too.
You are having a healing crisis.
That is very good news and very important that YOU understand that and understand what it means. I know….I know….it hurts and it feels like death, but this is very good news. Your body is throwing off toxins as fast as it can. Did you know that your body cannot, will not, have a healing crisis unless your body is ready. Body needs to be strong to have a healing crisis and your body will not allow it to happen unless it is strong enough.

It is very important to drink lots of water, herb teas, juices (preferably freshly squeezed.) Take it easy, rest, relax, take good care of yourself. Keep your diet as healthy as you can manage.
I guess you will question if you should continue HW or break from it. I would say you should try hard to battle on. However there is no need to go through hell on earth, and if you feel the need to have a day off from HW, then use your intuition and break for a day or two until the worst has passed. You will know, deep down, if you need to break from it or not.
You should discuss this on the Humaworm thread too. RG at Humaworm deals with these healing crisis’s everyday…that’s what his products do…so ask him. You can email him directly if you don’t want to go on Curezone thread. Contacts as per the HW webpage.
If you realise that what you are going through is a healing crisis, and that you will feel better when it passes, that should make it slightly more bearable. Healing crisis’s usually last 3 days, but can last 7-10 days in very sick people. On my first HW I had two healing crisis’s…was nasty for 4 days and then 1 week later I had another that was again 4 days long.
Every healing crisis is followed by much better health. That’s what its all about…your body is expelling deep seated toxins, that have been in you for years and years….they hurt coming out….but the result will ALWAYS be better health once it has passed.
Remember drink lots of liquids….you need to flush the toxins out.
Another thing….are you regular? BM’s ? regular? Needs to be! Drink lots. If you are not let me know and we will figure out how to make you regular.
One thing that will help is an enema. That’s irrespective if you are regular or not. Don’t know if you tried that, but that will defo help ease the symptoms considerably. If you have never braved one, maybe not the best time to try…but if you did, I guarantee it will ease your suffering.
Hang in there, it will pass and when you are out the otherside…. I look forward to you telling us how much better you are……
