Hi Ellen,

I'm sure glad you figured out what was causing that and shared it with
us. Hopefully knowing that that is a possibility and keeping my zinc
intake up will prevent that from happening. CFS/FM is enough of an
emotional ride for me, don't need any more, LOL.

I think anything that effects our health and especially helps us to
better it (mental or physical) would be on topic here. What is EFT by
the way? I've never heard of it.

thats great! I have for a long time wondered what would happen if I ever
found a way to start removing all the stored toxins in my body. I know
its got to be stressful in some ways for the body to mobilze it, but I'm
so glad to discover the FIR method of sweating the toxins out, because
my brain is already impaired from so many years of illness and my liver
enzymes are already elevated from not being able to cope with toxins,
etc. (and believe me, its not from partying!). Most detox methods drag
the stuff though the liver and kidneys and sometimes mercury ends up in
the brain going this route, so this finally gives me hope for getting
some of the junk out of my body thats been building up for so many years
and making me sicker.

I've got more water oz zinc on the way!

Marcia
