Hi.

They say only a small amount of Hg is excreted in the urine, even when chelating. Most goes into the stool.

For all I know, eating your way would be good for me but I'd hate to make a big change and then learn later that it was a mistake. It's hard to make decisions like that sometimes. Maybe my avoiding protein at supper time is a great idea because it makes the morning urine taste mild, and right now morning urine is all I take, and in the long run it may be all I need to take to get well.

At one time I had to stop ALL UT because of "die off" symptoms or Herxheimer Reaction. I could not even tolerate drops od UT, not even 4 drops under the tongue. I now take 1/2 cup of morning urine. This seems like just the right amount for me for now. Last week I tried to take 2 oz on arising, and 2 oz at noon and another 2 at Supper time and it caused a lot of "die off" so I quit UT for a day or two, and I was glad to see that it only took a day or two for my body to catch up to the detox ability of UT. So, it does appear that my GI tract is gaining, and someday I may be able to take more, but it may take me many months. Persistence might pay off here.

I plan to continue the 1/2 cup on arising. That, along with the ALA chelation I do 3 days a week, may eventually get my GI tract into much better health. I look at UT as a good free of charge anti bacteria therapy.

I know what you mean though. If I was ever going to increase UT again, and I probably will, that would be a good time to back off meat, or possibly even quit it altogether for a spell, maybe just long enough to fix my GI tract. :)

Me, I'm in Tennessee. That's good that you eat what you eat and seem to be in control of your health but you and I might be two altogether different body types. :)
