Hi JK98,
I thought you needed a lot of protein when mercury toxic? We have one chix meal and one lamb meal and one fish meal a weak. the rest is different types of beans, including green lentils. I so substitute the odd meal, whether veggie or meat with eggs. But we now have half the portion sizes of animal source protein, on three days of the week, so i thought this would be ok.
I do get constipation but not all the time, and i have found that my hormone levels affect it mostly. Just after ovulation is when i get it, the system is pumping out progesterone (which causes the intestines to slow down, which causes constipation,) this is usually when i get it, for me its a sign that i am due to menstruate. as i have polycystic ovaries, i am usually swamped with unopposed estrogen, which doesnt affect my bowel action so i am ok during that period, which can be anything from 3 to 6,7,8,9 and counting, weeks. Progesterone is only ever two weeks. Thank God i do not have any issues withthe luteul phase of the cycle. Although since i have been taking high dose vitamin C i seem to be getting a regular cycle.
Got some milk thistle, dandelion tea and been taking that. its really made a biiiig difference to the liver pain. It is still tender if i push on the area but no cramping spasms, my kidneys seem to be ok, they did hurt, but the milk thistle and dandelion seems to have helped them as well. I sent my hubbi for licorice root as well
, but they were out of stock. he will go back tomorrow, they said they would be in stock then.

where do you get stevia in the UK??? i thought it was a banned substance? i looked for some before for my hubbi's grandma who has diabetes but couldn't find it anywhere. i think i was going to order it on the net from somewhere,,,can't remember now exactly, but i didnt in the end. We have been cutting right down on sugar lately. we only use unrefined brown sugar which is not as bad as white, but it has to go.

Bex said that hal huggins says to include some animal source protein in the diet as he has never cured a veggie. so i am a bit dubious about going all veggie. and i do enjoy meat. I do not understand how people have it morning noon and night, but a few times a week i thought was ok. last night we had fish, rainbow trout, half a fish each. i had the back end and hubbi had the top end as it is a little wider. the kids shared one between them. Two fish between five people (one of the kids is 16 the other 11, only one is a tiddler) is that too much?
i don't mind lentils and beans, just not all the time. we are trying to do one veggie meal, one animal meal, one veggie etc then two veggie to round off the week. I have been doing ok like that, and the constipation is not all the time, its not what i consider a big problem. I know others who do not go for days, and pass hard, small things. If i was like that i would say i had a problem. I am considering hydrotherapy once i have finished with the amalgam removal. any thoughts on that? it scares me but is apparently great for the colon. I have a friend who used it as part of her cancer cure, she recommended it a lot, i have always been a little disturbed by the thought of it, but when your health deteriorates to this point you will do anything to get better.
thanks for your help.


i will mix the cocoa with the yoghurt might help me eat more of the stuff because i can only stomach so much but i need to have some probiotic. i tried to go without it but felt worse so i make sure to eat it regular, but it just doesnt seem strong enough.

chocco cravings are the worst, it really gets me like 'aaarrrggghhh' but only certain times of the month,,,a lot of ladies will understand what i mean. my mum gets the same craving but for fish, which is interesting, met a few women like that. but not many.
