Oh yes sir, I stopped all vitamins and supplements with the exception of occasional zinc, selenium and magnesium in the appropriate quantities. These naturally help chelate mercury. Honestly, I’m pretty sketchy of any supplements now. I had no idea how toxic certain fish are( big eye, yellow fin , albacore tuna). I was eating this food in hopes to help with my autoimmune problems (alopecia areata) I believed the fatty acids would help my immune system and keep my hair from falling out. It was an easy and convenient lunch to eat daily. Unbeknownst to me, certain fish are highly toxic if eaten more then 1-2 servings a week. That coupled with amalgam fillings that leave you with a steady blood level of mercury regardless of what you eat. I was on the paleo style diet, probiotics and such to heal my digestive system which put a heavy load of oxylates in my system (also known to cause neuropathy per my research). The megavitamin supplements just added fuel to the neuropathy fire. Then the whopper IV b6/EDTA. Synthetic b6 being known to cause neuropathy and edta known to cause numbness. I basically starved/fasted for months loosing 20 pounds and slowly reintroducing foods. It also appears I am b6 sensitive now. We as modern day humans do not need to supplement B6 if we have a well rounded diet and are healthy.
