Now reading that you live in Japan kind of worries me about the uranium level in your body. I do wonder if you had the test before the Fukushima problem or after? I would in your position get my uranium level check out to make sure its not a dangerously radioactive type. I know for sure that the radiation is a lot worse then JP Gov and TV are making it to be and in your situation i would buy myself a device to test the radiation in my house, garden and my water. I would really be looking into it as its for sure not something you want in you system.

Also DMSA is key to Chelation with ALA, its synergistic. I think of it as the ALA pulls the metals from the places that DMSA cannot as ALA is the better Chelator but the DMSA works great with the ALA because it acts like the sweeper that comes in and picks up any mercury that that ALA has Chelated but not removed from your system and the DMSA will take its own Mercury from your blood and other places as well.

I would also recommend taking selenium as i hear that it helps bind metals and can work to protect the liver. I urge you to take milk thistle as well because of its very protective functions on your liver.

I also have Chronic Fatigue and i'm well on my way to getting rid of it completely. I can tell you one of the main things that can cause the fatigue is yeast or candida problems. Its kind of a synergistic format to infection with CFS. Its in my opinion caused by misuse of anti-biotic or anti-viral medicine that then causes die-off of good bacteria in your gut that leave you open to infection and that's when from some yet to be known source you get what ever virus causes CFS. I also know that when this happens the Candida yeast take over your body and pull you down to make you tired. I know now that the virus that Chronic-Fatigue-Syndrome is caused by infects the white blood cells of your body and it is my humble guess that what actually is happening in the body of a Chronic-Fatigue-Syndrome patient is like a nuclear war of damaged "by virus" white blood cells trying to kill candida yeast in your body but never being able to because of their own structural damage thus your body uses so much energy trying to boost your immune system as to kill the yeast but fails due to the same damaged white blood cells! Its then that the other problems happen because of the yeast such as brain fog caused by the alcohol the yeast produce in your body as we eat and this causes brain fog and tiredness just as the Chronic-Fatigue-Syndrome symptoms show. I then find many many people with CFS also have Acne or dermatitis or very bad dandruff and again its caused by the yeast.

I am working on the cure and right now i'm getting very positive results. I recommend Chelation + Candida Diet + Blood Electrification and i also wish to state that they should all be done at the same time.

Blood electrification helps get rid of old white blood cells that have been damaged and the body replaces them with knew health cells. Next is to get the candida under control and that's with the use of the candida diet! You have to follow it solid for about 1-3 months depending on how bad your problems are but the key is using a good pro-biotic and the one i recommend is something that is enterically coated so that it can get past your stomach acid and to where it really needs to be, you see that the normal pro-biotic that are not enterically coated may have 30BN bacteria but its no good if only 2000 out of the 30BN survive due to the stomach acid and let alone dieing off by being left on a store shelf for ages. Next you need to just get bad crap out of your body and that's where Chelation comes in! I said that yours is not too bad and that's true but any mercury is bad mercury so its important to get rid of it as best as possible. I'm a purist so personally i would keep going and getting tested every month until i'm as close to (0) as i could get.

Candida can cause IBS by the way, enterically coated pro-biotic get rid of IBS so get yourself some of those anyway and cure that little problem. :)

I did really worry you would say that you were from Japan as besides the study of my own CFS/ME, my other fascination has been with radiation and Japan. I would say that with both the uranium and Iodine you could have radiation poisoning as a high amount of radioactive iodine-131 was released in Japan when the Fukushima Diachi plant went bye-bye. I would strongly, strongly urge you to get to a doctor and get the types of uranium and Iodine checked out! If you have not been taking Iodine supplementation or eating a lot of seaweed then i would really worry that it is actually radioactive iodine-131! If you got it checked and it is what we fear then you may be best off supplementing with normal iodine to cut the risk of cancer in your thyroid gland. If you do get tested and it is that then send me an email as i will try to do all i can to help you get rid of the radiation if at all possible.

I'm not sure why you would have a high Zinc level and in general people with CFS/ME are low in Zinc if anything. I really can't comment on it. There may be other ways to lower copper like diets that avoid copper rich food but i really am not sure to be honest other then using Zinc when eating meals.

I hope this posts helps you as long post is long ^_^;

Good luck!
