thank you so much for your quick response. I want to start the 3day routine on this Sat. Will i feel worse during this time? also were the problems in the thyroid due to the metals in you before chelating or was this a result of the chelating (moving the metals around)? I don't want to add to my symptoms, but Andy's book says this is the way to get the stuff out, and you are saying that it has helped you as well., do you think I will get some symptom relief immediately? I have been going through this for 2 years and sure would like to see the light at the end of the tunnell. do you live near Richmond, VA ?
