I have been hoping for good days ever since the end of February when I had my last amalgams replaced. Since I had 25 amalgams, I guess I need to realize that my body won't heal quickly. I have had many problems though and realize I need to feel worse before feeling better. I am still not ready to begin chelation again. I need to fight the candida and/or parasites some more first. I realize that doing chelation when I am not in good shape is likely to make me crash, so it is better to postpone chelation until I am up to it, and take it slower this time(just 25 mg of ALA at a time rather than 50). I have lost plenty of weight on a low carb diet even though I have been eating plenty of nuts(if I hadn't eaten the nuts I would be emaciated now). i need to stabilize my weight and not lose much more. I am at a proper weight and don't want to become underweight. For most of my life I was overweight.
