The bloating might be due to some form of colitis, for which I'm taking pepto bismol a la Dr. Fine. If you're sick and tired of being sick and tired, this type of protocol might help you. Fasting certainly can help and you could probably find out what foods are problematic with an elimination diet. In fact, I'm a mouth breather, but on the 3 days that I water fasted, I noticed I was breathing through my nose when I went to bed. That was a nice little side benefit. Also if you have mercury amalgams, that could well be the root of your chronic issues, as I think mine are for me. Suze Fisher Lapdog Design, Inc.

It might be worth seeking what the root cause of the *colitis* is. Mercury is one usual suspect of intestinal problems for anyone with amalgams, although there are other possibilities too, of course.
