Yes, I am sure you are right, and I did not know what was going on. I didn't

hardly even know what and adrenal gland did.

The interesting thing is that the " panic attacks " stopped immediately after

I started taking the mercury chelator DMSA. So I think that means that the

mercury was the source of the panic attack, and then the adrenals crashed

even more from that.

Just binding up with that little bit of mercury seemed to allow the adrenals

to stop the panic attack....something like that.

After that I would still get some attacks, now from food reactions and

certain supplements, but now that I am on adrenal support, I am feeling like

that is all becomming ancient history.

Whew!

Boy, what would I have done without these yahoo groups?!?! (Probably would

have been dead...no fooling)

Thanks to all,

Inga
