Sorry I didn't realise Johnny had replied and you'd posted again! I was in the middle of writing my reply when the phone rang and just got back to finishing it off!

Presumably you're taking a lot of liver support eg milk thistle, also eclipta alba is supposed to be a good liver herb.

Hair loss can be a sign of a few things eg thyroid insufficiency, iron deficiency.

I'm wondering whether the chlorella is causing you problems as it doesn't chelate properly plus you're taking a lot of it.

I'm a bit like you in that I know I react to sulphur foods/supplements if I have too many. The only thing to do is to reduce or not have them at all.

I would strongly suggest joining both the groups I mentioned, in particular the Autism/mercury group and post specifically to Andy Cutler. He will reply if your post is addressed to him.

> I cant be 100% that it is the composites, but i had provocation testing and vega testing done and they were both off the scale for phenols (plastics) i am even starting to react to elastic in my underwear!!

Ok I have to admit I don't know much about this

> I also suffered DRASTIC hairloss when all this began, MORE THAN half the volume, it has started to regrow through the sprigs, i am sure this is a sign of kidney stress.

It could be quite a few things responsible for hairloss - for example thyroid stress.

> As for the sulphur sensitivity, i react to the tiniest amounts of Glutathione, Cysteine, Biotin, ALA, Epsom Sals, garlic, onions etc etc,

Do you know that this is a classic symptom of mercury toxicity.

What do you plan on doing next?

Hi,

>I have found Milk Thistle to be one of the most helpfull things i have tried throughout all this, but it doesnt help with the nausea like it used to, also i am unsure how long it is safe to take it for.

Milk thistle is a fairly safe herb so ok to take for long periods. Plus your liver probably needs long-term support anyway. Perhaps though you could add or try other liver herbs now if the milk thistle isn't enough. I know other mercury toxic people who recommend a herb called 'eclipta alba' though I haven't tried it myself. There's lots of other liver herbs eg barberry, fumitory, chelidonium though don't try a lot at once as it may induce a cleansing crisis.

>My doc wants me to do EPD (allergy shots) but this is NOT successfull if candida is present

If you do at some point decide to go for this, make sure the shots don't contain thimerosal (which is mercury derivative), as I believe some of them do.

>I have rechallenged foods several times, and get the same result, i can hardly live with the after effects, they last Sooooo long and hurt my kidneys

You're obviously extremely sensitive. Have you had your kidneys checked out? Perhaps you could do some kidney cleansing....very gently of course. I would suggest you visit http://www.askshelley.com Shelley's a wealth of information and has kidney problems herself though may not be for the same reason.

>How are you dealing with the candida? Have you felt improvement since Amalgam removal? What have you used?

I stick (mainly) to a sugar, gluten and dairy-free diet, take probiotics, do enemas sometimes, eat coconut oil every day and also have apple cider vinegar most days and sometimes aloe vera. All this helps A LOT. Perhaps you could start doing home enemas?

>Have you felt improvement since Amalgam removal? What have you used?

After Amalgam removal 5 years ago I didn't have experience any obvious benefit or worsening of my health problems. I had a lot of adrenal fatigue though with virtually uncontrollable blood Sugar problems. Also this was complicated by the fact that I wasn't eating much protein which helps with mercury toxicity. At the moment I'm taking adrenal and thyroid glandulars and various other supplements eg fish oils, minerals eg magnesium, selenium, vit C and E, phosphatydal serine (which also supports the adrenals). I'm finding all these really helpful and are probably helping with any candida (and possibily parasite) issues I have. I've been planning to chelate (the Cutler way) but haven't started yet.

If I can think of anything else which might help I'll let you know.

Take care :)

Anne
