remind me to get back to you this weekend on that? I have some notes

on it but I have to look them up.

==>Hi . I was able to find information about a metallic taste in

the mouth. This diet helps chelate out heavy metals so you can get a

metallic taste from it, particularly if you have fillings in your

teeth. The metallic taste can also be more prominent if you lack B

vitamins, particularly B12 and biotin. B12 is very important for

overall health, but in order for it to be absorbed there must be plenty

of hydrochloric acid, along with other factors - see this article:

http://www.westonaprice.org/basicnutrition/vitaminb12.html

==>B12 is found in liver, kidney, other meat, fish, shellfish, butter

and eggs. Oyster, mussels and clams contain very high amounts.

==>Also ensure you are not drinking too much tea that contains tannic

acid which also causes that metallic taste.

==>The taste can be alleviated with lemon in water, i.e. my electrolyte

drink, and by gargling with 50/50 3% hydrogen peroxide and water

several times a day (do not swallow it!). Detoxifying also helps it,

i.e. coffee enemas, dry skin brushing, clove tea, Epsom salt baths, etc.

,

I have found Zinc helpful in getting rid of a metallic taste in my mouth.

Several years back I had a horrible sinus infection/flulike bug that I

could not shake. Zinc lozenges were pretty new (or at least it was the

first time I had noticed them). Anyway, I bought some to try. I put

one in my mouth and within five minutes I thought I had fallen off a

cliff! I started to sweat, and break out in a rash. I started dry

heaving, and for the rest of the day I really thought I was going to

die. The horrible taste in my mouth lasted for days! At the time, I

thought the reaction was an allergy or some sort of similar reaction to

the zinc. I made the assumption that I must have had too much of it

(zinc) in my system already and that is why it made me so sick.

Seeing your post reminded me of that, and made me rethink it. It was

probably some sort of severe die off or chelation.

Have you ever heard of anything like that?

Dear ,

I've never heard of such a severe reaction to zinc like you had.

I agree it was pretty severe. I do have to remind that I was also

pretty darn sick before I took the zinc, so it may have been a combo

thing, but that zinc lozenge definately triggered something nasty! I

know that it was so bad, that I have never taken a zinc lozenge or

supplement ever since, and I would have to be near death to even

consider it in the future. No thank you.

Metal taste? Yep, that's the Ribavirin.. nasty little drug. Chocolate makes it go away. Numbness? Can't remember that one... it's probably something from the meds. Makes all sorts of things go haywire. Hugs,Teri

Try dark chocolate. It works better than regular milk chocolate. From: Barrett <barrjohnm@...> Sent: Thu, September 30, 2010 5:08:53 AMSubject: Re: [ ] metallic taste in mouth?
