The first month when I saw the hair loss was the worst. The funny thing is that, the spot was so tiny. No one could even see it. Now that it's gotten larger, I have actually come to terms with it.

It is very interesting how our bodies react differently. I think this is the reason why amalgam/chronic mercury poisoning is overlooked or even mocked. The same symptoms aren't seen in everyone affected by it. While others have neurological problems, someone else might have physical, autoimmune or endocrine problems.

There are a lot of autoimmune related conditions in my family. Lupus, psoriasis, asthma, pernicious anemia, vitiligo. It's really bad when I think about it! Doesn't surprise me that's how mercury decided to affect me because my family's immune system is shot apparently. It doesn't know what to do.

Sean this statement of yours made me laugh out loud.

my God what we have to do just to even maintain nowadays.

You know I feel the same way. LOL I look at all the bottles of pills cluttering my kitchen counter, cabinets and refrigerator and get annoyed by it sometimes.

You mentioned Dr. Wong. Is this the same Dr. Wong who promotes Vitalzym? I took that stuff a few years ago and it really worked. I had crazy detoxing symptoms from it far worse than what I'm getting from the DMSA. The kidney pain from Vitalzym was getting to point of being unbearable, so I stopped. However, when I was taking it, I could see a white powder in my urine. It must have been the fibrin from a cyst.
Yeah that is DR WONG who promotes that and then Oxygen for alot of things and Cream of tartar for Yeast infections. His oxygen is the ONLY ONE that worked for me, I actually was sweating doing little things for the first time in YEARS on his Oxygen! Thats amazing if you know me truly. Dr. Wong is very smart IMO I visit his page often and he often mentions Zinc and Vitamin E in his audios and I take those now as well! Zinc made me throw up once, but I can tolerate it better now that I take it with meals (30mg Zinc Citrate that is). I can feel your Kidney pain though as I have had it as well as die offs, he usually tells you to take a strong effective product which will have bad die off effects. He stears you clear of BS IMO, and his products work for me usually.

BTW for you Kidneys have you ever used some Milk Thistle or GLA to help with your Kidneys? They help alot from what I heard, and I use them everyday and pain is alot less.

In Sanskrit, tulsi means literally "the incomparable one" and has been revered since ancient times. Tulsi, the holy basil, is said to have grown at the site of Christ’s crucifixion and is associated with St. Basil’s feast.
