It's been just over one week since I had my fillings replaced. After a brief painful period I started feeling really good, excellent in fact. But one I'm starting to feel like I did before, perhaps even a bit worse.

I'm detoxing with coriander/cilantro and chlorella. Since I started feeling bad I stopped with the coriander, as I figured it'd mobilised so much mercury my body was having a hard time coping. Today I was even considering stopping with the chlorella, which binds to and removes the mercury.

Then I read this article:

Healing Reactions Versus Allergic Reactions:
Whenever a person makes enough positive changes in diet and/or herbs so that the body releases toxins, those toxins can sometimes be felt as a "healing reaction." A healing reaction is NOT the same thing as a side effect of a medication. A healing reaction can feel uncomfortable, but it is actually a sign that the body is healing itself. As toxic wastes are released from fat cells, liver cells, brain cells, kidneys, and other organs, they go into the bloodstream. Sometimes during herbal therapy, people can taste in their mouth drugs that they have not taken in many years. This is an indication that old medication residues have been released and are now working their way out of the body. Many symptoms from the past can temporarily reappear during an herbal cleansing program - fatigue, joint pains, muscle aches, headaches, dizziness, weakness, itching, etc. This is nothing to be concerned about, but rather something to be glad about.

[there's more on the site explaining more, I suggest you read it]

So I'm going to keep on with the chlorella. However, your circumstances may be different to mine, your body certainly is. Use your intuition. If you feel like you're going to collapse any minute then I'd probably stop. But I'm not as I'm hoping this is just part of the process.
