Re: OT: Jackie T. Update---I'm still kicking!

[Guest guest]

Hi Jackie,

Really nice to see you back! I wondered what happened to you.

I'm sorry for your losses and the other stresses you have been

dealing with. It's wonderful that you're able to help out

your Mom! A big stressor though, so glad you have other help.

Have you continued chelating through all these events in your

life? Hope it is going well! Let us know about your supplement

issues - maybe we can help track down what's causing what.

such luck, I've just been extremely busy the last 2 months, and

surprised that the stress of it all hasn't killed me yet. We brought

my mom home from the nursing home on Nov. 1st, and she is doing much

better at home. We hired lots of help, but I'm still quite involved

helping out, taking her to appointments, etc. (She has Parkinson's

Disease.) We started giving her epsom salt baths, and they have

helped her mobility/flexibility greatly. She even asks for them. So

it has been wonderful to see the improvements.

months, and actually another uncle just passed away, but that one is

far away, so won't be attending that one. In early December, my

father-in-law passed away, so that was very draining and

time-consuming right before the holidays.

so I am right in the middle of the " hump " of feeling worse, according

to Andy's graph on page 52 of Amalgam Illness. And it seems to be

holding true. I have gotten sick off and on this fall/winter, and it

seems to be viruses. It seems to happen after a round of chelation.

I've had to back off on taking so many supplements, because they seem

to be bothering me to take so many, and I'm experimenting with enzymes

and probiotics for my digestion, which I have upset sometimes by

taking too much oil of oregano for the viral issues. I remember Andy

saying that gut bugs and everything else can go wild about 6 months

after removal, and he seems to be right. So I think if I can just

make it through this winter, I'll be on the downside of the hump, and

on my way.

piled up in my email from various groups, but I will try to catch up

with you guys and get back in the loop, now that the holidays are

over. I have missed you guys, and I hope everybody had nice holidays,

and here's to a healthier new year for all of us!
