thx Bex, I have reduced my diet to pretty much what you wrote as well as brown rice for the last 9 months... I also take bentonite clay when I can chlorella B vits and c Have taken iodoral for 1 year...I WAS ALMOST DEAD when I found the curezone iodine group...Believe it or not I am much better..(my thyroid, adrenals, kidneys etc had all but shut completely down...no bowel/bladder cntrl, couldn't breathe/swallow, or see, write.Now on a good day I can write my name!I also have been doing a daily injection of thiamine 400 ml and liver extract twice weekly (brenner protocol) so you can see why I'm tapped out..all these things have cleared the way for the mercury poisoning to be very obvious...I just went thru a dump (mercury) I was told my eyes were weird and huge pupils etc (along with diarreah) so the merc dump ended today and so did all the toxicity symptoms. I do have some ala but I'm scared to try it just yet....what do you think of the algin? Where would I buy it? thanx so much , kathy
