Heavy metals

Today I had good news - I am full of heavy metals so am being medicated to get rid of them. Maybe it will help my thyroid and hopefully my fatigue will lift. A reason for my fatigue after 21 years of it.

Good luck. I'm investigating this at the moment. I'd be interested his you get on. How did you get yo thus point in the first place? How did you find out how much heavy metals were in your body?

Hi Lucylongstockings, I decided to go to the Philip Weeks Naturopathic Clinic in Hereford as nothing I had done had lifted my fatigue at all. I'm increasing to 3 3/4 grains Armour this Saturday but so far no improvement. I've had ME/CFS for 21 years and Hashis for just over a year (or at least diagnosed that long!). The Clinic sent me a heavy metals DMSA test as PW said I had had all the right tests, seen the right people, etc. and something was holding me back. So I'm taking the pills and looking forward to an improvement -altho it's a long process.

Thanks Lucylongstockings. I have only had one day feeling a bit weird since starting the detox but it is early days and I'm on a very low dose. I will post when anything exciting happens!
