Freedom of Speech is a precious thing and should never be taken away. Medical Tyranny has no place in a democracy.
If it wasn't for social media the dangerous "Floxi" antibiotics (fluoroquinolones) would never have got a black box warning. There is no "danger" to openly discussing how a medication made you feel.
We need appropriate feedback mechanism about drugs so we can improve them, your Dr should be empowered to discuss whether a medication is right for you. It should be mandated to post all reactions unrelated or not in your Drs opinion if they happen within 48 hrs so that analysts can look for patterns. You should always have the freedom to decide. Is it really moralistic to knowingly harm some people for "the greater good"?
Those that have reactions or feel they have reactions should never be ridiculed or bullied to shut up. The dead should be respected. If you are a "for the greater good" person then you should respect the dead and injured even more, it was you that did this to them, you have to take responsibility for your actions.

Is Change Coming?
Nothing on earth is 100% safe and effective. Its all about risk vs benefit. Risks associated with injecting Aluminum, mercury and other cancer causing chemicals directly into the body vs getting immunity to a certain disease. So if the disease is virulent and likely to kill you you have to ask is it worth the risk or having neurological diseases which ruin your life. Assuming of course that the vaccine actually works. This can be discussed with your Dr and you can both make a decision, the Dr gives you the vaccine inserts which you read and ask questions. The Dr understands the ingredients and how they will interact with your particular medical conditions and you both decide what is right for you as an individual......... oh wait.. I forgot majority of people / professionals don't want to talk about informed consent any more or even practice it!!! If you dare mention it you get branded an anti-vaccinator who is a complete idiot. The mud flies on both side. No-one can have a sensible scientific debate any more.
This is totally unfair to the people that have been injured. This is not just hearsay the USA court and other courts have paid out billions in compensation claims because there was enough proof to show the vaccine caused the injury. But yet where is it on the media, thousands of stories all untold lest they cite panic and people stop vaccinating. Most of the outbreaks of diseases are with vaccinated children but if you dare question that the vaccine might be failing or a new vaccine resistant strain might be developing again you are branded an idiot.
Instead of vilifying the victims why can't we ask the questions why did these people get injured and others didn't. This is not just about autism this is about brain infections, seizures, neurological conditions and cancerous tumors. This is about getting help to families that have been injured, instead of Drs ignoring them and denying that their injuries are caused by a vaccine and refusing to look into it. These families need a fair compensation program one that gives them the help they need because they have been injured by a faulty product. With any other faulty product you could sue the manufacturers but not in the USA. Where is the incentive for pharmaceuticals to improve vaccine safety.
Drs that do decide a particular vaccine is not recommended for their patient given their other health conditions will be given no power to stop a mandatory vaccination under proposed mandatory vaccination bills. This is because the bills are so strict as to what counts as an exemption that it means you practically have to be dead in order to get an exemption. Drs that speak up against this are vilified. Why is the government deciding the medical procedures and not a Dr?!
Pro-vaccine safety does not equal anti-vaxxer, being pro-vaccine safety does not equal that you think vaccines are safe. It equals you have many questions and you want sound science (not paid for by the makers) to answer your questions. You know that current vaccines are not safe but you see no plan in place today that is making them safer.
This is why I am very happy that Robert Kennedy Jnr has been appointed chair of a vaccine safety review board. Someone who has dealt with the injured first hand, someone who is not biased, someone who is in favor of putting liability back on the heads of pharmaceutical companies that make them. Everyone wants vaccines that cause less injury and have better efficacy of preventing disease. Lets start having some real science so that medicine can get better and cause less harm. Lets have some real reporting of adverse reactions mild to severe and how long those symptoms last. And if the uncorrupted science does find that vaccines do not prevent any disease lets get rid of them and research and develop something that will. Maybe we can even begin to understand how poisons create disease and remove all poisons from medicine and food then we can have healthier longer lives.

26.2 Strength, Determination and sheer Willpower
It has now been 3.5 yrs since I had my mercury amalgams removed. I remember walking into my appointment and my dentist's practice room was up a flight of stairs. I struggled to get up those stairs and the dental assistant looked at me with a strange look in her eyes. I didn't realize at the time how much stairs were a struggle (as well as everything else) until I began to heal and everything started to become easier and that's when I really understood how much life was a struggle back then, how debilitating mercury poisoning really is.
The recovery is as subtle as the mercury poisoning, slowly day by day you feel a little better. Sure there are some days you feel worse but overall its a slow progression upwards, back towards health.
When someone has chronic fatigue syndrome they talk a lot about running a marathon (26.2 miles) would be easier than getting out of bed. I have read many blogs and this saying comes up time and time again. So its only natural if you like running and you cure your chronic fatigue to put this saying to the test!
A marathon takes courage, strength, determination. Its more of a mental challenge to keep going especially at mile 20+ when your legs are hurting and you want to cry cos they hurt. If you walk they hurt more, if you keep running they hurt. You smile through the pain because you have a goal ..... to finish... to become a marathoner. To finish the race is more about mental strength than anything else. You trained hard and long and you were dedicated to keep training to reach your goal.
The mental part was easy for me because I have actually been training myself to be mentally strong my whole life. When I was 2 yrs old I had a car accident which I only vaguely remembered and I never associated it with my severe shoulder pain of unknown cause. When I unknowingly got poisoned with mercury at 13 I then developed chronic fatigue by the time I was 17 and my family called me lazy because I would sleep 14+ hrs a day and still be exhausted. I learned to ignore my suffering and carry on with an extreme level of determination. No-one had a clue how much I would have to tell myself to get up and get going, how everyday was a constant battle against my fatigue. The fatigue is deep within your bones they ache, it is like having flu and a hangover everyday of your life. I kept the suffering all inside due to the bullying I got from my immediate family. In a way I am grateful that they bullied me, they taught me how to be strong, how to pick myself up and with a lot of determination to just do it.
So is running a marathon easier than chronic fatigue. Yes. But that shows you how debilitating chronic fatigue is and the name of the disease does not do justice to the people going through it. A marathon is not easy its an amazing achievement. Getting up everyday with chronic fatigue is an amazing achievement.
I thank all my supporters, my husband, my true friends, my run club and the mercury detox support group. They encourage, motivate and keep me focused. Thank you for filling my new mercury free life with such positivity.
On November 27th I finished in 4:48:53 and at mile 26.1 I am still looking strong.

Its not a new chapter.. Its a whole new book... Amalgam Anniversary Year 2.5
Mercury Misalignment's and Memories
I have read many blogs and most of them stop, and you always wonder why. Are these people healed, what are they doing now. I thought when I write my blog I will not stop. But what actually happens is you get swallowed back into the swing of life, this is after all what it is all about.... Living! Which is why I have not written for over a year.

But what actually happens is you get swallowed back into the swing of life, this is after all what it is all about.... Living! Which is why I have not written for over a year.
I joined a run club. I was scared at first, I thought they would be super fit people who would never understand fatigue. What I actually found was the most amazing people I have ever met. They have never once told me I was mad or its all in my head. A lot of them have struggled through their own problems like cancer, children with rare disorders with no cure, comas, heart attacks being in a wheel chair but they still get out there and try their hardest to run, they understand struggle and determination. They have been the most supportive and encouraging people I have ever met. The coach of the the run club, who is a mother of a child with a rare syndrome with no cure decided to organize a 1/2 marathon to raise money for families with sick children. This is why I decided to try for my first half marathon, it was a great cause and sums up all the amazing people out there who despite their own issues wants to help others, just like in the mercury detox community, people on the message boards are there helping others despite feeling like they would like to lay down and die.
On October 26th 2014 I ran my first 1/2 marathon in 2:08:44 I was totally amazed by my time. The whole way round I was ready to burst into tears because I just couldn't believe where I came from when I first went down into deepest darkest hell on 1st June 2012.
Since then I have run 7 more 1/2 marathons, my fastest time was 2:02:59 which I was ecstatically happy about. I also ran a 15k over bridges. I remember when a slight incline would give me such bad cramps in my legs, like stabbing pains but I was over-taking everyone up the bridges! I now have a medal for every tooth that was poisoned by mercury. It feels easy after chronic fatigue from the mercury, I will have to try for a marathon and see how that compares to mercury poisoning!
Every day I still get stronger. I still have some issues with my shoulder .. more on that later. I have never been healthy so I have no idea what healthy really is, what do "normal" people feel like. Every day that I get stronger I realize how ill I was, how did I do it for my whole entire life.
I started working with a functional medicine Dr. I had all my hormones tested and a full nutrient evaluation (nutraeval by Genova) which showed I was still a little nutrient deficient and also markers for bacteria. My Dr then ordered me a SIBO (small intestinal bacteria overgrowth) test which came out as severe positive for Hydrogen. I don't have the typical symptoms for SIBO (no bloating / gas etc) but my bowels do move slower than they should so this was a real surprise. I guess all those years of mercury pouring down my throat has done substantial damage to my intestines. I also had a lot of antibiotics when I was a child which would have also damaged my intestinal tract.
Currently as well as working on SIBO I am balancing my last hormonal problems. My thyroid is back into the correct values, TSH is still slightly elevated at 3.45 but if you read my prior posts you'll see that is not as important as T3/4. My adrenals have improved immensely they follow the correct curve but it is now slightly above not below. My testosterone, DHEA and pregnenolone are all low and I am supplementing with pregnenolone and DHEA. Pregnenolone is the bodies pre-hormone so my body should be able to make any missing hormones from this.
Symptoms Remaining:
My shoulders still crackle and hips crack but the mummification stiff feeling has gone.
Visual snow it still there a tiny bit, I mainly only see it if I look into the blue sky and if I have to get up in the night but I have to make the effort to see it. I am still having some issue with playing the piano due to this problem.
Memory - its so much better, all my memories are coming back and I can remember telephone numbers and appointments. Sometimes if get tired, like when I am running I sometimes go back into zombiness and lose count (like for example doing hill repeats I lose count to how many I have done)
Most of this is to do with the brain which is the last place to get the metal out of so I just need more time.
Orthogonal Chiropractor:
What I could not understand is why my shoulder would not recover, I was doing my exercises and I seemed to be stuck. My functional Dr recommended a Orthogonal Chiropractor (specialist in necks). So I went out of curiosity and desperation of wanted to fix this stupid shoulder. So I went there in May 2015 and he assessed me. He kept insisting I had been in an accident and I was thinking this Dr is crazy. My reflexes in my left side were weird, my arm just sort of darted out at weird angles. I was putting 14 more lbs on my right side than my left even though I thought I was standing straight. I still fall over when I close my eyes. He then took me through for an x-ray and then that is when it was quite clear. I had a moderate to severe misalignment in my neck at the Atlas (very top of spinal column) and my body was completely wonky as a result. The chiro showed me 3 points where I must have had 3 accidents. My Chiro Dr doesn't understand how I could be running. Guess I am just badass determined.
So I called my Mum and said this crazy Dr says I have been in an accident and she says well yes. Without me telling her the Dr said 3 accidents she told me about 3 accidents. Apparently I fell out the crib, was dropped and there was a car accident. It was a head on collision probably about 30 - 40 mph. In those days 1980s we didn't have seatbelts I am surprised I didn't go through the windscreen and die. The police told my Mum to go to hospital but she refused and thought because I looked alright I was fine. As I grew up my parents always called me a hypochondriac. I guess nowadays they would be arrested for child neglect for not taking your child to hospital after an accident. When my Mum dropped me she took herself off to hospital for her sprained ankle but didn't take me.
I am angry and I don't really know how to process this, I want to put it all behind me but I can't. Maybe if they apologized but they still don't think that they made a mistake. My Mum just thinks that my neck is all in my head. Maybe she feels guilty and doesn't want to admit she did a very bad thing and as a result I have suffered for 37 yrs terrible pain, maybe she doesn't give a ....
This isn't like mercury poisoning there is no doubt from my x-ray its a classic textbook case of whiplash injury, this is my Drs diagnoses.
I have never really felt love for my parents and now I have a reason to hate them, have I subconsciously been blaming them all along? The bullying words such as hypochondriac surely didn't help either.
The first time the Chiropractor corrected my neck he had to help me up as I could literally feel the rush of blood into my head. I had to wear a neck brace for the evening. Driving home with a neck brace on was challenging. It was very sore. I went to lay down in bed a few hours later and I could literally feel the severe pain creep up from my left shoulder into my neck. Now my neck hurt but it was a new pain and it felt right. I know I sound like a crazy person again but it just felt right like this is where its supposed to hurt. I have been going back every 2 weeks for the last 6 months because I have been like this for 37 yrs my body is very stiff and frozen. My neck is back in alignment and I am working with my Chiro and the massage therapist to unstick all the areas that were wonky and had gone stiff in order to compensate for the severe misalignment. My pain levels have gone down dramatically I feel like my areas of chronic pain are decreasing so the pain is in specific points in my arms shoulders and hips rather than widespread. I have started Yoga as part of my rehab and really enjoying Vineshya and Yin yoga styles. The Yin is to stretch the fascia and ligaments out and it really works on flexibility. The Vineshya is quicker asanas (order of movements) so helps me get more loose. I also do some very boring daily neck exercises!
My Dr says this is the cause for a lot of my health issues and then with the mercury on top it was a recipe for disaster.
Since then I have run 7 more 1/2 marathons, my fastest time was 2:02:59 which I was ecstatically happy about. I also ran a 15k over bridges.

Amalgam Removal 1 Year Anniversary!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WOW what a year!
I celebrated by going to a music festival where my favorite band was headlining :-)
I think I am finally over the shock of just how poisonous these fillings are. I no longer wake up in the morning with the thought "I feel bit better today, things still hurt, cant believe my fillings cause all this, how can they put mercury in people, how can they poison people like this"
Since a year ago........
I no longer feel like I am dying.
I no longer cough every morning, no more almost being sick because the coughing was so bad.
I no longer have rib pains due to the coughing.
I no longer sneeze, wheeze or sniffle all the time.
I no longer gasp for breath whilst walking upstairs
I no longer have tinnitus.
I no longer have period pains.
I no longer feel like I am asphyxiating every night when I go to sleep. It feels like my throat is bigger less swollen.
I no longer have insomnia, I have had a good nights sleep every single day except for 2 days where I had taken b vitamins too late, and one where I was stressed about moving.
I no longer feel hungover every morning, I still have days where I feel like I am getting flu and still have fatigue, but not in the same intensity. Its hard to say how much my fatigue has improved as I am not working at the moment which would be the real test of how easy it is to get up everyday.
My face is no longer white as a sheet, my face has a tan for the first time ever.
I lost 25 pounds. Eating more than ever and food tastes amazing without that awful metal taste.
My heart no longer flutters.
The purple veins under my tongue are much smaller.
I can feel my feet, I never realized how numb everything was.
My shoulders and joints still crackle, my hips have just started doing this too, I think this is where they are beginning to be able to move again and it will just take time, I am the most flexible than I have ever been. My muscles still fatigue and feel stiff but they are much better.
My vision is amazing, I still have visual snow and some blurry vision, but the colours are amazing, its like going from a cathode ray TV to a 3D tv, the point is I can actually tell the difference between the types of TV now!
My memory is loads better I remembered what a cathode ray TV was called!! I learnt my new mobile phone number with one look, back in June 2012 when I hit rock bottom I could barely remember my name. My sentences have longer words in them, I had to get a dictionary app on my ipad cos I kept remembering words but didn't know what they meant.
Looking back over the years, all those years I made excuses, personal stress or work stress causing my symptoms. I didn't realize back then how sick I was because I had never been well. Now I realize how sick I was I don't know how I made it through the days. Now I feel better than I have ever felt, I keep going and see where this takes me.
Mercury poisoning is an insidious poison, slowly, creeping, always in the shadows, taking you out piece by piece by piece. Mercury is a scourge across the planet, poisoning it on every level.

My vision is amazing, I still have visual snow and some blurry vision, but the colours are amazing, its like going from a cathode ray TV to a 3D tv, the point is I can actually tell the difference between the types of TV now!
My memory is loads better I remembered what a cathode ray TV was called!! I learnt my new mobile phone number with one look, back in June 2012 when I hit rock bottom I could barely remember my name. My sentences have longer words in them, I had to get a dictionary app on my ipad cos I kept remembering words but didn't know what they meant.
Looking back over the years, all those years I made excuses, personal stress or work stress causing my symptoms. I didn't realize back then how sick I was because I had never been well. Now I realize how sick I was I don't know how I made it through the days. Now I feel better than I have ever felt, I keep going and see where this takes me.
Mercury poisoning is an insidious poison, slowly, creeping, always in the shadows, taking you out piece by piece by piece. Mercury is a scourge across the planet, poisoning it on every level.

Post Amalgam Removal Month 5 - 10
If people could step into my memories and feel the differences to my sight, hearing, taste, smell and energy they would have no doubt about just how poisonous mercury fillings really are.
Its been a long time since I have updated my blog this is because I have been out living my life. Last few months have had theirs ups and downs but it was in December (8 month mark) that I noticed a big improvement, which was strange as I was going through a very stressful period as my husband had got a job in the USA and we were packing up the UK in preparation for moving.
Week 1 start to feel rough (PMS week)
Week 2 feel very bad, have so sick want to die feeling (period week). Although after December I just feel a little rough no more death feelings.
Week 3 Get a real feeling of vitality, seems like my blood cells work better but still feel dreadful, again after Dec just feel little rough.
Week 4 feel amazing.
My bowel movements have continued to be very variable between constipation and good movements. I believe I entered the fabled dump phase in September. This is when your blood is clear and your body begins to clear out your organs and tissues.
I started to run 5 miles in September. The first time I did this my hips hurt so bad, the second time my shoulder hurt so much but I think it's really stimulating my lymphatic system. I feel like my joints are beginning to go back into the correct places. My joints are really cracking now. All of them crack, fingers, toes but it feels like there is more space in the joints. I can move my fingers a lot faster, hopefully I can get back to playing the guitar soon. I sometimes get the brain pulling feeling too, like something is pulling at my brain, its like pressure too.
In September started taking all activated B vitamins. The first time I took them I felt sudden relaxation and had the most wonderful 1.5 hr nap. I have now quit folic acid. I am wondering if there is a another gene defect, besides the one that stops B12 conversion, which means I need the activated ones. I did take a B complex before of non activated ones i.e. my body had to convert them and didn't notice this same effect. Since taking the activated ones my concentration has really improved and I am remembering so much more. Visual Snow has improved when I started Lithium oratate which is supposed to help transport B12 into the CNS (central nervous system). I plan to get a 23andme test to get my raw genetic data, I can then use that to work out SNPs and gene defects.
I also switched to tincture form of milk thistle and also started Dandelion root tincture. I did get some small black stones excreted afterwards which are said to be stones from the gall bladder.

I have also swapped onto barley grass powder from tablets, the main reason is I am getting so fed up with swallowing all these tablets!!!!!!!!!! I have been having a nightly cocktail of barley grass, vitamin C, tinctures of Dandelion and Milk thistle. In November I added in Oil of Oregano which is reportedly good for killing candida. Most mercury toxic people also have Candida infections (it is a bacteria that lives in balance in your gut but when you develop gut dis-symbiosis, as mercury causes, it is opportunistic and takes over and develops into fungus and spreads within your body).
I also started taking Maca which is an adaptogenice herb that's supposed to give you energy and boost libido. Not sure if I am taking enough can't say I feel that different. Lots of people swear by it so will continue.

In late December I started taking bigger doses of zeolite as I was trying to use it up before move in February i think this is what really helped. Have continued on 1 scoop per night rather than 1/2 scoop.
I was also brave enough to weigh myself. I have lost 20lbs since amalgam removal!! Very happy with this I have not been trying to lose weight although I needed to lose a bit and it has just come off with no real effort. I think its because my liver can work more effectively at breaking down fat and my body needs less fat deposits to store toxins in.
Vision has become clearer although still have visual snow, but objects are sharper.
Running took a dive because I caught the flu cough that was going round, but was managing 5 miles in 50 mins, but I bounced back from the virus really quick, before that would have floored me for at least 3 months.
I was doing very well until January 2014, this was an extremely stressful month. My husband moved and I was left in the UK to finish organizing, finishing up my job, meeting up and saying goodbye to friends and then flying me and the cats to the US in Feb. I was also running my supplements down as it was hard to fit all my stuff in the suitcase so I was not on my detox protocol. When I arrived in the US it took a while for my address to change so couldn't order supplements off internet for a couple of weeks. I think also because of all the stress suddenly stopping my adrenals crashed and I fell off my herbs and not got back onto them. So I have been very tired, vision has been blurry but I knew this would happen so I planned to take it easy and gradually I am feeling more normal again. At least this time I understand why its happened and know I can get back on track, improvement coincided with my new tub of zeolite arriving.
Now I am negotiating my way round American food, calcium chloride, lots of chemicals I can't pronounce and high fructose corn syrup seems to be in everything! Since having amalgams out taste is getting cleaner and some foods taste thick and dirty to me, especially cheap alcohol, I have no real desire to drink anymore, but good quality wine still tastes nice, but I can quite happily turn down the cheap stuff. This is great for my husband as I am happy to drive while he can have a beer.
I have found an organic farm co-op that delivers vegetable PHEW! Still working out how to get quality meat. I am also being exposed to Fluoridated water so will have to investigate water filters for my house now. But I won't have to worry about vitamin D deficiency as I am living in the sunshine state.
The BIG achievement is remembering my mobile phone number with only one look at the number, OH YES my brain is still there somewhere!!!
I have bought an Omega J8006 juicer. Its my first proper juicer. There are 2 types of juicers centrifugal (provide fiber) and masticating (highly digestible nutrition, but downside is no fiber). I decided I want nutrition at this moment, but in future I might also invest in centrifugal. I have initially done apple, carrot, celery which was so delicious, very happy with my purchase, you have to cut up the items quite small but apart from that great machine, nice and easy to clean. So I can start experimenting with juices and mixing powdered herbs in now.

Post Amalgam Removal Month 4 & Test Results
I am begining to recover my intelligence and sanity. When I think back to all those people who said to me "don't be so stupid amalgam fillings are safe" I now think that putting one of the most neuro-toxic substances in liquid form into your mouth where it emits vapour 24/7, no matter how small the amount of vapour emitted may be, and then to say it does not cause any harm is beyond ridiculous!
Somedays I am driving in my car, for example on Friday to the DIY store to buy some paint to finish decorating the hall, stairs and landing (a job I started 2.5 yrs ago and was unable to finish due to my poor health) and I think "wow I feel so great, my vision is soooo good" then I almost cry tears of joy. This normally happens when I drive into the office and I can see further and more clearly every day.
People are still saying how well I look. My skin is amazing never had such good skin. I am still sleeping really well every night, although I am still suffering adreanl fatigue so still feel like rubbish in the mornings. I am doing a lot more like finishing all the DIY jobs that have been building up for the last few years. I am concentrating much better at work and able to remember things a little better, but still a way to go on the memory issues. Your brain is the last thing your body detoxes so I just have to be patient!
So this month I got my test results back and they were eye opening. Mercury affects people in different ways, its not so much the poison but its the interaction with the way individual bodies work and what problems it causes in you. Thats why mercury poisoning is so difficult to prove as the sufferers have similarities but can have very different problems. This is what these tests were about, not to prove mercury toxicity but to find out where my body is struggling and to take the right supplements and herbs.
As you can see my Copper is off the charts!!!! Mercury displaces copper, therefore this does explain my anaemia like symptoms. Instead of having copper in my red blood cells I have mercury and this is why they do not work but on blood tests they look normal. My anaemia symptoms have dramatically improved, I no longer look pale and I can walk up 2 flights of stairs without feeling like I am doing to collaspe.
Copper toxicity does explain all of my symptoms
http://www.drlwilson.com/articles/copper_toxicity_syndrome.htm
I have now stopped my Ferreglobin tablets (these contained everything I need to make red blood cells, ie they contain copper). These tablets really helped at first but I think I am so toxic in copper I do have bio un-available copper and therefore I needed these tablets, but long term I need to stop taking these. I have upped my zinc to 30mg per day, this will balance out the copper and start to help the body reduce copper levels.
Copper affects calcium levels, but high calcium on a hair test is not indicative of too much calcium so calcium could be going to the wrong place. My Dr ordered me a calcium blood test but the lab missed it off and therefore I cannot make conclusions on my calcium grrrrrrrr.
A few of my facebook mercury detox support group take lithium oratate. As you can see from the hair test my lithium levels are below measurement value. There is no RDA for Lithium as not many studies have been done, but as my levels are so low I am not worried about taking it short term as an experiment. Lithium is supposedly essential for transporting B12 and folate accross the blood brain barrier, I am taking methyl-folate and methyl-B12 but maybe its not going to the central nervous system. So I started taking lithium oratate, this is a safe form of lithium as its a natural form. It is different from lithium carbonate which is the form they give out in prescriptions. the controversy with lithium carbonate is they have to give high doses otherwise it does not reach the brain, which in turn potentially makes your body lithium toxic which may cause kideny problems. Hence why drs meed to monitor you and you can only get it on prescription. Therefore you can take lithium oratate in small safe doses and it is supposed to be much more effective at getting past the blood brain barrier.
So far I have noticed my visual snow has improved and although I still have the same amount of time where I have the energy to work, within that time I am much more productive. I am not really anxious or depressed so no effect there, although feeling more lovey dovey towards my husband but that might be the PMS emotions kicking in haa haa.
The hair test report concluded:

Here is article on adrenals and adrenal fatigue/burnout
http://drlwilson.com/Articles/adrenal_burnout.htm
My test results show that I am "Maladaption stage 3, pre-adrenal fatigue". I would say I had proper adrenal fatigue but have been accidently following a recovery plan for adrenal fatigue for 12 months in effort to heal myself before I understood what was really wrong. So to me this shows I have improved although I don't have the test to prove it. My test indicates long term stressors depleting adrenal reserves.
Morning cortiol is indicative of overall cortisol which is low and in afternoon (when I get sleepy) my body tries to compensate. My DHEA is consistently low. My secretory IgA is normal but on low side.

The hair test report concluded:
- slow metaboliser type 1 (this will create poor absorption of nutrients which will create poor metabolic rate ie a vicious circle)
- parasympathetic dominanent
- tendency towards decreased thyroid activity
- tendency towards decreased adreanl function

Cortisol 24 Hr Saliva Test
Here is article on adrenals and adrenal fatigue/burnout
http://drlwilson.com/Articles/adrenal_burnout.htm

So to me this shows I have improved although I don't have the test to prove it. My test indicates long term stressors depleting adrenal reserves.
Morning cortiol is indicative of overall cortisol which is low and in afternoon (when I get sleepy) my body tries to compensate. My DHEA is consistently low. My secretory IgA is normal but on low side.
Blood Work and Dr appointment
Unsurprisingly all my blood work was "normal", it always is using the "NHS we don't want to spend any real money curing you tests". I would beg to differ.
My dr again unsurprisingly thinks my hair tests and my adrenal test is a load of rubbish (even though you can with some difficulty get the 24 hr saliva test on the NHS). But he does want to test my blood calcium and copper levels. So after some debate and him not knowing what the symbol for copper was I agreed to the copper blood test as I do need my calcium test anyway, I can guarantee you the copper will be normal!
I did manage to get all my tests results this time. Unfortunately the NHS does not do reverse T4 therefore I cannot fully asses my thyroid function but my TSH is a little on high side at 4.5 (mu/L) which implies my thyroid is struggling according to Thyroid UK research it should be near 2.5. T3 (4 pmol/L) and T4 (12.4 pmol/L) are in normal ranges.
What is strange is my Ferritin (Stored Iron) level of 45(ug/L). I have been supplementing with Iron for 10 months and my ferritin level is still the same as before supplementation.
My vitamin D levels have dramatically risen from 61 to 191 nmol/l which implies my digestive systems does absorb some nutrients. I am wondering if my original number was in ng/ml in which case I should be comparing 61 to 76ng/mls which sounds more plausable. I will ask as my next dr visit. I have stopped taking the Vitamin D until I understand my calcium levels.
My hair tests says I am copper toxic and copper is known to interfere with Iron utlisation so this ferritin level does back up the theory that it is copper toxicity causing all my symptoms.
I have decided not to take Iron supplement as it seems to be a waste of time and Andy Cutler says that the body will try and get rid of all oxidising agents and it is easier to get rid of Iron instead of the mercury! I have just started taking Chlorophyll as someone on detox support group recommended this to help with energy instead. It tastes disgusting!
Next Steps
I am feeling so good still I have decided to try and do this the natural way, in future I can always change and do Andy Cutler method. I am not as sick as some people who are bed bound or in a wheel chair from this so I have the luxury of being able to not do DMSA and I worry about putting additional pressure on my kidneys. I would want to do Chris Shades method but no support for that here in the UK.
So I am carrying on with my herbs and supplements as I seem to be doing well on them.
