Hi guys
I posted an update on my progress with copper detox (and detox in general) in the Adrenal Fatigue Forum

Lot's of negative press on the AF forum regarding NB.
Hoping to give it some support and make people understand that there is a reason this program can make people feel worse. There is no pleasant way to extract accumulated toxins from your body.
Hi onedaysoon,
I had low sodium and potasium and I was doing lots of CE's. Four per day.
My sodium just jumped up from 4 to 14. Potasium from 1 to 2,

On a short term basis, I don't doubt that CE's can dilute electrolytes. My wife did 4 in a row one day, and she felt super dizzy, sort of like a really bad case of hypoglycemia.
The keys techniques are:
only retain for 12 minutes. If you retain too long, it has a better chance of getting absorbed into your blood stream
Lay on your right side or back. Don't lay on your left side since that encourages it to go furher up, where increased absorption can occur.
Only use a litle water, like 8-oz
They really help improve elimination, so toxins don't just keep circulating around
Hi Ricky,
I don’t think it can ever be as simple as a sodium level about X amount means more energy, especially while still detoxing.
My sodium is up, which indicates more adrenal strength. But my body is quickly using any available energy to pull out more metals ….. which reduces energy.
But I am sweating like CRAZY. It is so exciting to be able to sweat when exposed to heat.
It is hard to say when I felt the most improvements. Symptoms just slowly seem to be going away.
I haven’t completely gotten rid of any metal yet, they just keep climbing and climbing in my hair, only slowing down during a period of extreme external stress.
Yes my potassium is low, but I don’t take any. Not part of Wilson’s/ARL protocol
I know there are different schools of thought on that one, which I don’t completely understand since I haven’t read enough on that aspect.
This seems to be working for me …. so I am sticking with it.
I am not really sure of the magnesium to be honest. Like I say, don’t completely understand every aspect yet.
I will tweak the program a little if I understand a part of it well. For example, if I am having major detox symptoms, or starting to get “flu-like” feelings, I’ll increase Vitamin C for a couple of days.
