HI Dawn, When I go into a dental office, I don't become just for weeks, it doesn't go from that point on. Sounds like you are very similar. Perhaps the algin is what has enabled you to improve at some point. I may need to get some. I did something very bad recently and wished I hadn't. I took Alpha lipoic acid, thinking ti woudl help detox me, but believe it's pushed more mercury into my brain and nervous system. Now I'm getting even worse effects than I was. The garlic is what started this and the dental office visit. But certainly I should not have touched the lipoic acid at this stage. Too late now. But thanks so much for your support and comments.
