Coiling for Lyme

Herx reactions

  • Spitting out Mercury

    Over the past five years, I’ve read lots about mercury toxicity and dental amalgams. A few years ago, I got tested for heavy metals. I had a not-alarmingly-high amount of mercury in my urine, but enough that I could see… Continue reading
