Hi Sean,

It's really hard to know what to suggest, because when you are mercury toxic and experiencing symptoms, it is awful and sometimes sheer hell on earth. I mean at times you can't even find words to describe it. You can go from feeling revolting, to feeling at times psycho. You just feel like "I can't keep this going". Then you take a break from stuff, feel a bit better and then try again and it comes back. It's a case of chipping away at this poison I think and then taking whatever breaks you need. Doesn't matter how many times you break off and stopping and starting. I learned that myself. There is only so much you can take in one go, before you may need to break off and give the body a chance to process the toxins that have been mobilised/pulled out by these products.

I am not sure whether you should cut back and keep going, or take a break and try again on a lower dose.....depends how ill you feel. You "may" need to stop, wait for relief and then start on a lower dose and see how you go.....it's up to you. I never knew what to do, I was all over the place because it was so unpredictable. One minute I"d be all strong and thinking right, I'm going to go for it and stick with it. But no sooner had this strong resolve come upon me, that I would later weaken from the eruption of the symptoms again from "going for it".

So, it maybe the same with you. Go with what works for YOU and even then, keep the symptoms where you can at least handle them to "some" degree and then break when/if necessary. That is the key. Mercury and a person's ability to cope with certain things is really individual. What you may tolerate now, you may not later on either. It's not predictable unfortunately.

For me? I think the most important nutrients were a foundation supplement base - multi mix vitamin/mineral powder supplement (if you can get one)which contains almost everything. Then on top of that? Extra vitamin C, vitamin E, selenium, magnesium, zinc and iodine...and maybe calcium to equal the magnesium ratio (I take them in equal ratios). You may also find a liver supplement helpful - e.g. "Livatone Plus" is a good one apparently and also contains antioxidants there as well.

Nothing really replaces a good diet though. As you've noticed, treating/preventing candida makes a big difference to your overall condition and handling of mercury (as well as detox). it enhances detoxification and allows toxins to be eliminated much better, rather than get redistributed from a toxic gut/liver (from yeast toxins). Often if that's the case, you'll just bounce around toxins everywhere because your gut and liver cannot cope. Yet they are also the keys to detox....

kelp and chlorella are apparently highly nutricious. They in themselves contain MANY nutrients, so who knows how much they cover in themselves....that is great you tolerate them, as I think they are wonderful from what I've heard about them. I don't tend to cope so well with algae/seaweed stuff for some reason these days. But go with what works for you. You will be getting iodine from kelp too...it's high in it.

Sometimes I tolerated chlorella, other times I did not and there were moments of extreme horrific symptoms from it, so for me it was not always a good thing. Garlic supplements were also very potent when it came to mercury and me! No so much the food though....although I think it did something, but just not as strong/potent as the supplement forms.
