Re: Approaching 6 months - what's the "dump" gonna be like? How to prepare?

"... It does feel like I felt a lot better in the first few months, then nothing much happened after that, and I started to feel depressed about a month or so ago. So this is apparently normal?

== I'm not surprised to hear it but I don't know your case well enough to say it is normal. Also I'm not Cutler who is familiar with thousands of cases over 10+ yrs!

== As sfx change we try to battle them with various supplemens and maybe meds. We tend to focus on the supplements that are both involved in the sfx and which also are known to be affected by the heavy metals that are on your hair test. So in your case I'd be looking at intake of magnesium first, then other things that tend to help with the form of Depression you have--maybe Bs, GABA, etc.

"... I am hoping I will get to that point soon. I started the weekend after New Year's this year, so I can measure which month I'm on by what month of the year it is. So I'm nearing the end of month 5. Well, we'll see how it goes, but I can't wait to have my mood lift again. And I really want my food intolerances (I have THREE) to go away!

== I don't know if anyone can predict when a particular symptom will be greatly reduced. With food intolerances , folks try to isolate the particular offending foods and also take appropriate supplements--digestive enzymes, etc.

== There is too much variation from person to person to be able to predict things very accurately. For example, I have lead and cadmium as well as symptoms of mercury. I assume that my combo of toxins will change the dynamics somewhat. There are quite a few variables.

== Age is one variable. This guy in his early 20's progressed unusually quickly.

== In contrast this 40-something female chelated for 8 years but is at or close to 100% recovered. She was nearly bed ridden with Chronic-Fatigue-Syndrome in the beginning.
