I agree Sunshine. My adrenals were shot and I was taking hydrocortizone in the am and at noon. I did that for a good 4 months and it made a big difference. I just gradually took myself off of it but maybe i shouldn't have just yet. My thyroid was borderline hyperactive and at other times at the other extreme very sluggish. I see many here have taken ACE instead and done well with it. I hadn't made the connection it could be that but now I believe you hit the nail on the head! Maybe I should try supporting my adrenal and thyroid again?

As for chelation, I was using a product that was a two piece system am/pm which contained ALA but it was not the same as Cutler's protocal so I stopped it a couple months ago. you are right I need to bit the bullet and try either DMSA or ALA low dose abiding by Cutler's protocol to get the toxins out. That is my biggest fear, getting a reaction when I work. I gues if I start low and progress accordingly it won't be too bad.

I hope neither of us experience the mercury dump but I agree that if we are doing everything we can to improve our health maybe it will not be so bad or it will skip us by altogether. Once again, appreciate your words of wisdom!
