Liver phase 2 - Gilberts / thyroid

[Guest guest]

I have Gilberts (mercury-induced) and I can tell you that thyroid

hormone definitely helps phase 2 - my eyes became brighter and not so

yellow when I started Armour.

I don't know about the other supplements Andy recommends for phase 2 -

I tried some TMG but then I read somewhere that it could cause the

body to dump mercury, so I stopped. Dean, do you know anymore about

this?
