wow so blurry vision is copper detox and thyroid (makes sense as my afternoon naps are similar to when my thyroid was at it's worse). Rick just emailed me told me that it's due to the high Ca/Mg ratio which also relates to blurred vision because the eye muscles are too tight and don't respond normally. My query would be - if i am taking a lot of magnesium wouldn't it have helped balance out the Ca/Mg by now (it's been 3 months since taking a lot of magnesium and being on TEI). Seems TEI gives a very strong detox of copper. I also get bleeding gums and at times metallic taste which is what i got when i was first on ARL but it only lasted a week, but with TEI i get it frequently. My throat and gums are also constantly swollen and i've got mucus that has not disappeared since I had a cold a few months ago. I've also missed my periods for a month and I have massive hayfever issues which i have not experienced in years. Maybe the system is just down from all the copper, including thyroid and insulin and the fact I got a cold when I never get colds is also a sign the system is overloaded. I'm off all TEI meds for now, except I'm not sure whether to keep on with small doses of magnesium or potassium. I was advised to not take any vitamin C either as it dumps copper. I know Rick doesn't believe in CEs and I'm also hesitant but a lot of people do seem to find relief from it. I purchased and enema bag months ago and it's staring at me, saying "give me a go!". Seems TEI just don't have a good detox assistance protocol and their supplements are way strong not to have one! Problem with Potassium for me is that it seems to make my dizziness worse, i have so much trouble focusing my vision when i take it, it lasts a few hours. And i was also getting heart palps at night (even when i didn't take the potassium) though this has subsided a bit. Lack of detox seems to be the main issue. Let me know how you go with the MSM...we need a TEI detox protocol!
