Re: Lyme or Mercury/Heavy Metal Toxicity?

if you read the GAPS FAQ on the website, the Dr. discusses how we all have various bacteria, viruses, fungi, etc., including Lyme - and that we shouldn't try to necessarily kill it all off, but rather eat in a way that boosts our immune system to keep everything in check. And that slowly over time, our body detoxifies and goes back in to balance. You are guaranteed to have some mercury in your body - so ALA will probably make you feel blah the first few times you take it - just guessing here. Not saying not to do it - just suggesting that if you want quick relief from symptoms, GAPS or a Primal-type diet, might clear your skin quicker than anything, and get the detoxifying process started.
