Alginate is the only thing that has helped my OCD. I noticed a change within a couple of days. I've tried other things like magnesium with no effect, so I don't think it's a "psychosymantic" response because I would have thought the other things would have helped. It was searching for something to help my worsening problem that led me to find out about mercury. I am pretty chronicly poisoned at the moment, which is why I think the alginate helped so quick. I skipped one last night and I had panic attacks when I was in bed. I think it's made a difference for me and now convinces me more than anything I am poisoned.
