Hi sosick,

If Sean is anything like I was, the symptoms of mercury can become extreme if there are not breaks in detox. Forcing onself to continue regardless can be irresponsible, so I don't see that stopping something and re-evaluating is "running away" as such. Considering my detox symptoms were often pretty pscyho and would have had me committed for sure had I not stopped and let things settle again. So I did the responsible thing and let it be for awhile and then I'd try again.

Not everything is down to mercury detox either. There are certain things that may not agree with a person. Like now, I don't tolerate algae products. It's not detox symptoms, but rather a sense of something staying put in the gut and not moving. I just wind up feeling like I'm in a stupor. That never use to be the case. So it's not for me these days.

Detox symptoms for me are usually awful, but noticeable for what they are. In that sense, there is a comfort in them but hard to accept it at the time. The detox symptoms I tended to get were simply an intensification of my existing symptoms and often crying, nausea, salivation, headaches, severe depression and anxiety, a feeling of doom, and sometimes screaming fits (which I haven't had in ages), weakness/fatigue, itching, rashes etc. On they went, but I knew what they were. But often much of it was unnecessary, when I figured out a better chelation protocol for me. Still felt ill from detox, but it was at least sane and manageable.

There were other things that happened at times in taking a product that seemed not so much detox, but allergy/intolerance. I sometimes vomited uncontrollably from taking chlorella eventually, which I finally worked out was the difficult to digest cell walls. I was told to take it again adn "ignore this" and I did and wound up vomiting the entire day after only one small bit of chlorell and burst quite a few blood vessels.

Again it comes down also to responsibility for ones health, as well as putting up with detox too. Because I'm well aware that a certain amount of pain unfortunately is usually inevitable and may have to be tolerated to a point in order to get the toxins out. It's just one of those things. You usually get familiar with your own body enough to figure out whether it's detox or something else.
