>>>>For the last couple of weeks, coming out of a head cold, I've been feeling intensely sluggish, waking up feeling "stupid," and not actively remembering things I could be doing to take care of myself, to eat regularly, etc.<<<
These are classic signs of dumping metals
>>>I'm wondering:
1) Am I crazy to think these might be symptoms of metal/mercury release?
Due to a) enzymes eating candida and releasing metals? b
parasite cleanse doing same?<<<
I know there there is a correlation with mercury and candida, and there are different theories out there about the relationship, but what is consistent is that when people chelate, many times their symptoms of candida will be aggravated temporarily.
some people will either chelate or kill
parasites but not at the same time, they say its too hard on the body. I really dont know for sure but personally i try to keep them separate.
>>>>c) possibly OSR not working as it should? d) all of the above?<<<<
I would say that its definitely working.
>>>>2) What to do about it?<<<<
Ive tried a lot of things but what seems to work the best for me is sweating, whether it be in a sauna, a hot bath or exercising. The one thing that i have learned with this though is to make sure i replace my minerals. I know supplementing iron has got a bad rap but if i dont take it i get insomnia really bad if im sweating a lot.
Many mercury toxic people are heat intolerant, so if you try it you might start out slow
>>>>3) Is there any reason to consider kidney support herbs, in addition to some kind of gentle chelation? (I have never tolerated the 4-letter chelators well, even a reduced amount used for the challenge tests.)<<<<
I like milk thistle, most people will take it for liver problems but its great for kidney problems too, but i find that milk thistle is one of those herbs that you absolutely love or hate. I love it.
>>>I have noticed feeling much better twice after hot epsom/peroxide/baking soda baths lately.<<<<
When im chelating and the side effects gets really bad, I will get im my homemade infared saunan in the morning and then at night i will take a hot bath and sweat again, and this really helps, especially from emotional and mental side affects of chelation like
Depression or when i just feel evil.
homemade infared saunas are very cheep if you dont have a lot of money and they are good for aches and pains.
There is a yahoo chat group for people taking osr. I think it would be very beneficial to anyone taking osr. I belong to it but i havent started taking osr yet, mainly cause of the price. but i sounds like good stuff !
