Hey ljamesjohnson,

you wrote: That's very useful into. Did you ever do anything that helped resolve the phase II issue?

Not thinking at that time that my health problems may be due to mercury, he put me on a detox fasting regimen for 2 or 3 weeks which included sauna, eating veggies and then working up to a few days of having one of the Green drink mixes as my only vitamin source. All the time too he had me taking the L-Glutithione supplement and on a protein drink and some kind of detox drink too. And then I would work my way back to solid foods (steamed veggies) and then to fresh veggies than on to other regular foods. All the supplements and drinks were Metagenics brand which can only be gotten through a Chiropractor, nutritionist, etc.

Even though I felt somewhat better in some aspects since I was not eating regular food, i think it probably did me harm since I still had all my 16 amalgams in and 2 metal crowns over amalgam (which Cutler says is very toxic because the dissimilar metals cause the mercury to vaporize very quickly...especially under a Gold crown which I had and that one caused a large tattoo on my gum). So not knowing of and not pursuing mercury sickness at the time I probably did more harm than good....excpet maybe for the Glutithioine supplement.

What Russ mentioned above kind of backs up some of this.....taking protein (which has cysteine and taurine) and the Glutithioine supplementation to help the Phase II liver pathway.
