sounds like metal poisoning. read andrew cutler’s book ’amalgam illness’(which is not just about amalgams)... not an easy read, more like a chemistry course, but easily the best hard science book on the subject of metal poisoning. do the hair mineral test to check your mineral ratios. selenium and iodine are both thyroid nutrients. iodine will help to feed the thyroid gland and selenium will help to convert thyroxine (sic?) into useable t3 ( liothyronine). some people take much higher doses of iodine than you are taking, not that i am recommending one way or the other. see how ...

ok, a few more questions. what were the results of your previously mentioned cleanses? here’s where i would start to first address weight gain. look into some form of weston price, paleo, or maybe the blood type diet. you didn’t mention what your blood type was. i also wanted to ask you this: if your mind were a blank slate and you went off into the world with no preconceived dogma about nutrition, what would your diet be like? in other words viscerally what does your body want and what do you have the strongest appetite for, same would go for drinks. see what kind of animal pr ...

to clearblue: hver has some good ideas like bitters to stimulate bile flow. this is safer than the liver flush IF it works and IF you don’t have any blockages of bile flow. from your symptoms it is probable that you do though. people talk about colon cleansing, but the small intestine has more surface area and can be a larger source of toxicity than the colon. i am guessing that your small intestine is fairly toxic. this could be off base, but always better to be careful. that acne has nothing to do with intestinal toxicity is absurd and i won’t even go there. i can speak from experi ...

after reading the first paragraph i thought, primal diet. then i saw you had read the book. but, it doesn’t seem like you are actually going through with the whole primal diet routine, which is more than just eating raw meat. if you can cough up the 375 then have a talk with aajonus and get an individualized plan. as good as the book is, seeing him in person is orders of magnitudes better.   [End]

after 1.5 days on the cleanse i wound up with a kidney stone. extreme pain all night and then in and out of hospital for a week. finally had lithotripsy done. i passed a small fragment about 10 days after the lithotripsy. 6 months later i went on a strict vegetarian diet, ignored my body’s desire for meat. i was very weak for a few weeks in bed, then i got a really bad flu, or possibly bronchitis or pneumonia with fever. i was able to cough up sputum from a long standing dry hacking cough. then 4 days into this illness symptoms of kidney stone again... very painful, nausea all over abdo ...

 yep, looks like the grain thing didn’t pan out for you. you probably have considered that since the problem got worse that you were going through a detoxification, so the grains may still yet prove to be a contributor to the problem. the standard hulda clark kidney cleanse is posted here http://curezone.com/cleanse/kidney/default.asp for longstanding problems a single cleanse is most likely not enough. you mentioned you have done all the other cleanses. it sounds like what you want is more of a lifestyle change than discrete cleanses. i can probably decipher your odor p ...

i’ll bet you a dollar that if you eliminate grains from your diet the body odor will go away. if it works, then add in grains one by one very slowly beginning with rice. most suspect is wheat in your body odor symptom. losing 50 pounds is not a smart way to cleanse.   [End]
