Two weeks ago I used HMD, a strong Heavy Metal Detox {Cilantro} formula.
Within a few minutes my lips tingled and an increase of skin burning followed.
I did not take Chlorella first-DUH!!
My body pain was off the pain scale with burning. I was on fire!!
After reading this article I believe what happened is this-
I stirred up the heavy metals that were residing within the connective tissue {nerves}. They re-circulated, which stimulated my total body skin burning.
Although my body burns, my lips had not previously burned.
I also had a strange BM,{sorry for being graphic}. it had the strangest color and odor. I think that was bile from the Galbladder. From the Cilantro.
Although this is painful, I am encouraged in thinking that the burning many of us have, is from Heavy Metals in our nerves.
With Cilantro and Chlorella, doesn't it appear that we can then win this battle?

It does make sense. I just saw my LLMD on Tuesday and was telling him that for a month or so the skin burning went away, and just in the last week or two it's come back. I also have a metals problem and mold toxicity, so it makes sense. I take chlorella and ALA but haven't tried cilantro yet.

I have been using the Chlorella from Source Naturals and cooked Cilantro. I think I will try the Biopure stuff though. My LLMD says I have hyperreflexia typical of heavy metal "poisoning". My leg goes up fast and down at normal speed during the knee reflex test. My neuro also noticed this but he couldn't explain it.
My burning started as tingling in arms and legs which eventually went away. In a matter of days the tingling in my legs became burning and it has been like that for 4 months.

Possibly get doc to give you neurontin or lyrica. Neurontin has a generic...which is quite affordable. Two decent drugs for burning neuropath pain!!

I'm pretty sure it is mercury that is causing this. My problem is that I have 5 amalgams in my mouth and I should get them removed before I can try chelating. And I am way too weak to start removing the fillings now.

It's interesting to here people's comments regarding metals and skin burning. Neuropathy really is a very frustrating symptom.
I've mentioned before that I have peripheral neuropathy and am extremely sensitive to touch in certain places on my body (clothing can feel like sandpaper, etc.)
After having a zillion tests done, it was discovered that I have reduced small nerve fiber density maybe caused by lyme or another tbd.
It's been suggested that the lyme has caused my immune system to over-react and therefore I am having an auto-immune response which is attacking my own nerves. One of my blood tests did show an elevated auto-immune reponse that was related to neuropathy.
Either that or perhaps the bacteria are directly harming the nerves or maybe no one has any idea?!
I would be curious though if anyone has gotten rid of neuropathy symptoms through mercury detox.

Peripheral neuropathy can be caused by low B12.
Neurologic sequelae from vitamin B12 deficiency include paresthesias, peripheral neuropathy
Vitamin B12 deficiency also has been linked to psychiatric disorders, including impaired memory, irritability, depression, dementiaPosts: 6956 | From Lancaster, PA | Registered: Feb 2004
