Before you do anything - get tested, especially if you do believe you have secondary TMAU. Nobody knows your body like you do, so if in doubt, always get checked out.

There are many ways to detox, but one of my favorite recommendations is the following:

1. Purge - Clear toxic accumulations, dysbiotic bacteria fungal or parasitic infestation from the bowel. The bowel cleanse.
2. Cleanse - Release toxic accumulations from the liver and rest of the body. The deep cleanse phase.

3. Feed - Repair and regenerate the digestive system, liver and kidneys to promote and maintain an optimal clearance of toxic accumulation. Rejuvenate the digestive bacterial population. The digestive repair.

Some folks believe you "can't" detox adequately without saunas, others say you cannot cleanse without colonics. I don't believe this to be the case, personally, as there as as many ways to cleanse as there are people.

The whole idea with detoxification is to move towards a cleaner way of living. You'd be surprised at the difference it can make!

But as I mentioned - first eliminate or not whether you have any TMAU concerns.

Yes, I believe it would have been sent to Canterbury as the conditions were the same and as far as I know, that is the only lab in NZ that tests for it.

I'd gladly try a detox if I knew what would be most effective. :) It's been a hell of a 20 years trying to live with this thing, knowing my personal hygiene is stellar and having people assume I'm either filthy or have a nasty infection.

Frustrating that I can't smell it and neither can family or my partner - which means I can't even vent to anyone close to me.
