Hey Bex,

Thank you for the welcome! Your story inspires me to get back to chelating and working on this. I tend to like to forget about things and not label myself or think of myself as sick, but the mercury isn't letting me. I live in Atlanta, GA now where it is HOT (came from Alaska) and wonder, too, if the heat brings out symptoms cause I feel useless. I'm having peri-menopausal hot flashes, too. Hadn't heard of mercury rising literally till this forum. I know some folks have used saunas but had trouble sweating. Not a problem with me. Maybe that is good. I feel good getting out working in the yard sometimes, but then wiped out. I use "Real Salt" myself - not sure about the idodine thing but figure I do eat some things already salted. Are you not from America? I haven't been supplementing as religiously as I always did before. I was a health nut for years before I found out about mercury. I need to get back to minerals, etc. and started taking the Modifilan yesterday. Think I'll do that now before I eat. My thyroid is off....controlled with Armour, but that can't hurt that either.

I don't honestly know if the DMPS challenge test hurt me, but I know once I got all the amalgam out which I had done with a guy who knew about it but not how to get it out safely I "hit the wall." My thyroid crashed, etc. etc. I'm on a lot more medication than I want to be. I need to get some good amino acid supplementation going, too. I take (usually) astragalus for my immune system, dandelion for my liver, C, mag., garlic, melatonin, 5-HTP, etc.

Anyway - nice to meet you <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/byebye.gif" alt="" />
