On Thursday last week I had what looks to be my last amalgam taken out (Took charcoal, garlic, C, MSM, etc). I had several removed unsafely in the two years prior to the onset of my CFS 5 years ago. I have one crown that the xray cannot see under which may have mercury under. This dentist wasn't IAOMT but he agreed to using the DAM, water/suction, oxygen, etc. It was a very small filling.

I started taking this b-complex called "B-Right" from Jarrow and more than once it made me feel terrific. I had every component of the vitamin complex except Pantethine and PABA so I ordered those. They have helped tremendously. I'm not sure if its one or the other or both together that is helping. The PABA seems to give the adrenals a kick without stressing them. Pantethine is critical for adrenal function. PABA is supposed to have pro-cortisol properties. The first time I took both I had a ton of energy right up until bedtime. I don't feel like it's weakening the adrenals either. It's like this is exactly what they need. I take less so I'm not up all night.

Also I'm taking low dose (5mg) Pregnenolone at bedtime and sleeping wonderfully. I'm talking about 80mcg of Selenium with it. I'm wondering if I have a block converting Cholesterol to Preg?

I've read that:

1. You need thyroid hormone to product Pregnenolone and
2. Pregnenolone is needed for the conversion of T4 -> T3

Sounds like the chicken and egg thing. I've had some results with Preg before but had other weird symptoms. I'm pretty sure I was taking too much. Ray Sahelian recommends no more than 5mg as it is a "powerful hormone"

My symptoms, while just a few weeks ago (while addressing Candida) seemed unbearable are now hardly noticable. I'm almost back.

Anyway I hope this information can help someone else.

cheers
