Hey misery loves company. I'm sorry to hear about your own private
hell but I am happy to see I'm not alone.

Anyway, my first detox didn't seem to effect me any worse than I
already was.

I take a multi at night that has selenium, vit c and everything else
but I also munch on brazil nuts throughout the day. My thyroid
hormones won't work without it. The mercury is demanding a lot of my
selenium. I also think by upping my selenium levels this will play a
major role in detox. But don't worry - I'm well aware about selenium
overdose and I do proceed with caution.

The funny thing for me is mercury, low thyroid and everything else
didn't seem to really hit me until one day I decided to stop taking
the pill - almost overnight all hell broke out.

In the case of iodine - for mild hypothyroidism it can be useful but
for worse cases of hypoT iodine can actually do more harm than good.
Do you have hashimotos? Or do you know why your thyroid is hypoT?
Does you doc expect this to reverse once the mercury is gone?

Do you have addisons disease? why only 1 adrenal gland. You are
aware of the role the adrenals also play in thryoid function and in
body temp...right?

Regarding my dentist - no he didn't wear an oxygen mask. In fact
shortly before he did my removals he had his complete thyroid removed
because cancer was suspected - yet he was too stupid to make the
connection.

I think more and more my food allergies and selenium def. are proving
to be the biggest sources for controlling my symptoms. Since I'm
intolerant/allergic to dairy, sugar (mostly fructose), wheat and yeast
and I should cut down on my protein intake, this doesn't leave much
left for eating except veggies and rice so I keep falling off of my
food allergy diet and getting ill all over again.

Yeah, keep me informed with your progress as well. Good luck and my
fingers are crossed for the both of us.

Robin
