----Dave, Thanks for the detailed post. All these diet restrictions

are really hard. It took me forever to give up gluten - its been 8

months now and I have noticed improvements. Giving up cheese,

onions, coffee, CHOCOLATE, is going to be hard. But if it makes

such a huge difference as you and someone else (sorry I forgot who)

says, then its worth a try.

Regarding sulfate, I've been taking epsom salt baths for months,

they do help a bit with stress and pain. But just a very little bit.

Thanks again,

Val

You know, that's the mercury talking. Even when I _knew_ that I should be

taking my supplements spread out through the day, it took me 1 year of

chelation before I actually had the wherewithal to do it - and then when I

finally did, I couldn't believe how much of a difference it made!

My feeling has been that I feel like I'm stuck waist deep in molasses - things

happen, just reallllly slooooowwwwwly.

Well, if you do a sulfur exclusion diet, and are able to see negative effects

for yourself, then it might be a good motivator. It was for me. When I took

out all the sulfur for a week, and then actually saw that 1/2 a qt of milk put

me into a black suicidal funk, I was completely _sure_ that I didn't want to do

that any more!

Ok, you might actually not need that. I, for instance, have high plasma

sulfate. That means that I've got sufficient sulfate, I'm just not using it

(the enzymes that are needed to process it have been deactivated by the

mercury). So, extra sulfate does me no good ... Bone broths help, though.

Glad it was useful.
