>Fair enough, for me my first boost was from taking Chlorella (no selenium). On the third day I was close to normal. About 3 weeks later this time after taking 80 mcg selenium each day for about 4 days I took 1g of spirulina for 2 days then 500mg on the third day. The third day was the best I've had in 4 years. My symptoms were totally gone for about 8 hours then I drifted back to my normal hell.
For me those two days were a prayer answered and almost a miracle. It's given me back a a lot of hope.
My assumption/conclusion from what I've read since is that it must be mercury. As I've had great days on the flip side I've had some very bad days also from the same supplements that helped. Very consistent with mercury mobilization once you talk to those who have chelated.
I also went back and got my dental records....My first bout of CFS lasted for a year starting 3/22/95. I hadn't been to the dentist for 5 years prior to 3/22/94. In March 94, 4 amalgams, Jan 05 one broke. Feb 05 The Flu for a week. Mar 22, 05 CFS strikes.
That lasts for a little over a year. I'm still working out regularly (constant anxiety) taking protein and vitamins.
No dentist until 2000 until 2003, 5 crowns, 2-3 root canals, 1 Amalgam. The crowns required removal of amalgams. All done haphazardly. June 03 CFS.
Not proof but compelling evidence.
