Gosh, it's been busy here!

I've got a good supplement regime. I've taken selenium and zinc in the past but they didn't seem to do anything for me after taking them for months, so I stopped. I had to cut a few things out because it was all getting too expensive. I still have a good core supplement programme with lots of vitamin C, magnesium, vitamin D, vitamin E, high doses of B vitamins, CoQ10 and fish oil.

I do always have powdered vitamin C handy, I stir it into my daughter's lunchtime drink for school, so I'll add a little of that to my "chelation water."

I did a Humaworm parasite cleanse but felt no effects from it. I then tried to move on to a kidney cleanse but the herbal tea taxed my adrenals and I couldn't take it. My body's pretty weak, especially with this corticosteroid (I wish I'd never taken it), so I don't think aggressive cleanses are a very good idea at the moment. I tried some digestive enzymes last week but something stirred up the mercury, it was either those or some kelp I took, so I've put those things aside.

I remember that I used to be OK on two parts ALA to one part DMSA, so that's the way I'll go. Tomorrow I'll start again with 12.5mg ALA and 6.25mg DMSA. Some of the mercury could do with mopping up by the DMSA, it's still lingering a bit.

BTW I've noticed some gentle but positive effects today from those doses of ALA. I feel a little more alive. I've been so very dead inside. This is a good sign.

I haven't had my mouth X-rayed but that's an idea for the future. The dentist who removed my amalgams said she got them all but . . . well, NHS dentists aren't exactly the most thorough people.

Gdawson good luck to you -- sounds like you have a sensible plan and lots of support here
