==>You may have been sugar-free for 4 years but unless you were

following the diet I recommend for that period of time you would not

have been getting the balance of nutrients required to help your body

chelate out heavy metals, particularly enough " good " fats such as

coconut oil, butter, lard, chicken fat, etc., etc. Chlorella or

liquid chlorophyll help but they cannot do the job all by themselves -

the entire candida program works together.

==>Glutathione is an non-essential amino acid which the body makes

out of three other non-essential amino acids (cysteine, glutamic

acid, and glycine). Essential amino acids are those the body cannot

make so these must be obtained from the diet, mostly from meats and

eggs. It is common to have low glutathione and selenium levels when

you have high mercury levels because they both bind to heavy metals

(sulfur does too), and also to other toxins such as solvents,

pesticides, additives, etc. and transform them into a form that can

be excreted in the urine or bile, which lowers the amount of these

nutrients.

==>To increase glutathione levels ensure you are eating enough meats

or eggs and good fats - see ratios recommended in the Candida Diet

folder. Good fats help the body absorb nutrients from foods, along

with ocean sea salt.

==>I do not know whether sulfur levels are normally measured, but if

they aren't we haven't got a complete picture of what is happening.

==>It is obvious that your body is working very hard at chelating out

the high levels of mercury. That's great! Vitamin C is very

important for the uptake of selenium from your foods. It would be

good for you to take a minimum of 2,000 mgs per day in divided doses.

==>Also inhibitors of selenium include: chromium, zinc, magnesium &

vitamin E, so do ensure you are not taking any extra chromium or zinc

supplements, except what is contained in ocean sea salt, (not even in

cal/mag supplements) and that you are only taking 800 IUs of vitamin

E per day, and not having any olive oil which contains vitamin E.

Also only take 400 mgs of calcium & magnesium per day with no zinc in

them.

==>The best sources of both selenium and sulfur are contained in the

same foods, i.e. eggs, onions and garlic, but eggs also contain amino

acids required for the body to make glutathione. So do increase your

intake of eggs in particular. You can also have raw garlic and

onions.

==>But do give your body enough time on the high protein high good

fats diet I recommend, because it helps the body to chelate out heavy

metals.

You could look into Whey protein also.

Hi ,

Sounds like you really need an expert in heavy metal detox. I would recommend

you have a phone consult with Dr. Garry Gordon http://www.gordonresearch.com/ He

is a leading expert in chelation therapy and has done extensive work with MS for

over 30 years.

mercury toxicity

First through my hair test and then Doctor's Data

Red Blood cell test ,there is increasing concern

that I have mercury poisioning and extreme

mercury toxicity. I have and never did have no

mercury amalgams. I do/did eat a lot of high

mercury fish. I have progressive MS. Docs are

highly scared/nervous about trying to do most

traditional forms of chelation and that I am too

sick to attempt it. Besides my progressive MS dx,

I have CFS and FMS and other issues . I have a

mercury toxicity deficiency which is causing more

concern. Not sure what direction to do to get me

on track. I am very sensitive to supplements and

other treatments. No doc is willing to do normal

chelation. Looking for ideas and directions., I

don't tolerate NAC, ALA. I can go on and on but am

on SSDI and money limited but willing to do things

that make sense. Very heat sensitive. Don't

tolerate any sauna type program. Currently take ½

and 1/3 doses of various supplementation.

Hi Patty and anyone else who had high levels of mercury - Through hair

analysis, I had high mercury toxicity so had my amalgams removed. I

was going to restest but I have to wait until my pubic hair grows

(because I highlight my head hair and so can't use if for analysis).

It's taking forever!! So, recntly I had a blood test for merc from a

neurologist who said my blood levels were normal. I didn't see the

results, he just gave this to me over the phone. Anyway, I was

wondering if you eat fish now. I take cod liver oil daily for my EFAs

but I miss fish so much and need variety in my diet. Did you stay away

from fish or not? - PH
