[Guest guest]

Alessa,

I understand your feelings completely. I have taken a break from

chelation until I can get my adrenals and thyroid functioning more

emotional swings make it particularly difficult to function on the

days when I don't feel well. The two supplements that have helped me

most so far are HC and Omega 6.
