Well this has been some journey. I've now started the nutritional medicine approach to clearing the heavy metals. Last month started with building up my general health which has taken a battering with the metals and dental work that went wrong. Obviously there are some changes given but I haven't found them difficult and the detox symptoms have mainly been eczema and I now think a little joint pain. I feel a lot calmer and I can't say if that is due to the thorough cleansing my liver is getting or because I am seeing someone who is knowledgeable in how to proceed with this.
It was explained to me that chelation relies mainly on the kidneys for excretion and if the load is great the kidneys can't cope with it all causing the body to give some symptom due to that.

Bloods showed I am not clinical hypothyroid, but the thyroid is sub clinical hypothyroid which will be looked at.

What can I say ? This is the problem with having to discover routes for removing metals yourself instead of this problem being highlighted in the public domain. The nutritional approach with a practitioner who has a protocol other than chelation would probabaly have been
