I have been using CS lately. Hot Epsom Salt baths followed by a cold shower have been helping me with the acute detox. Drinking alot of water seems to help as well. As for the joint and muscle pain I took a strong anti-inflamitory for two weeks. I'm also taking Lugol iodine( Iodine Forum ), as well as painting infected areas. I am not taking the anti-inflamitory now, but am taking MSM. I use alot of oil and lotions on my skin as well. Hope this helps.
