Copper detox and cleanse--help!!
So I was having a lot of luck with my copper detox (from an IUD I had taken out in October) a month ago. I was taking high-dose zinc, some molybdenum, magnesium, occasional b-vitamins, and avoiding copper-rich foods. My symptoms disappeared and I felt and looked much healthier! The only thing that wasn't better was my constipation, but it was slowly improving. I decided to take Super Cleanse (Nature's Secret) to speed things up; I thought a
Colon Cleanse like this would help detox, too.
However, I started to notice my symptoms (aches, jaw tightness/TMJ, insomnia, hair fall and brittleness, dry skin and lips, breakouts on face and back, anxiety, paranoia, and so on) slowly creeping back. A few days later I realized it was the Super Cleanse and stopped taking it. Things kept getting worse and for the past week and a half I have been trying lots of things to get back on track, but nothing has helped--b vitamins every day, more zinc, regular magnesium, really good/sulfur-rich diet, carrot juice, enemas, coffee enemas, more molybdenum, drinking ample amounts (3+L) of spring water, sleeping plenty... all the things that helped before and then some.
Could this be a calcium shell? If it were more copper coming out of storage than I could handle, it seems like it would be getting better, but I have plateaued and it is really frustrating. Any thoughts/advice?
