Although the mercury removal is only part of my recovery program. I have noticed some physical changes. My body temperature seems to be warmer. The hair has grown back where it had receded around my hairline. I no longer have that metallic taste in my mouth. My vision has become less blurred. The numbness in my back is gone. My bowel movements are more formed and my periods are shorter. With the first quadrant removed, I felt very light, like a big weight had been lifted off me.
