i just had a long reply all typed to you and I lost it - pushed the wrong button and it was nowhere to be found again. what a bummer. I had all the supps typed out that I take and a lot more.
I've had to walk away from many therapies too - just could not afford to keep "holding their hand" the way they wanted me to.
Things I've found to be helpful in the last 25 years are, in no certain order :
Oil pulling
Dry heat saunas [I get about 3 a week now]
UT
IV Vitmin C
Exercise regularly
Coconut oil
Sun exposure
ALA Chelation
Interesting about the minerals. They may help me with Hg quite a bit. I follow closely the Andy Cutler PhD program and I take ALA rounds every M-T-W of every week. I don't think I'd stop ALA at this time though, but this sounds like a good thing to learn about for sure.
Thanks again for your help. I will refer back to this info. :-)
