Heavy Metal detox

Has anyone ever experienced nausea with heavy metal detox?

I am on phase 2 of my protocol to target Babs, currently on Clindamycin and quinine. Very minimal herxing, just fatigue and irritability.

I had been taking cilantro tincture for a few weeks followed by broken cell chlorella for heavy metals. Out of the blue one day, I had a toothache in the tooth that I had a mercury filling removed from last November. That sensitivity spread to the rest of my teeth within a week. It made it difficult to eat or drink anything.

I researched the signs of metal toxicity, one of which was teeth sensitivity. I hypothesized that the cilantro had drawn out the metals from tissues and organs, but that I was not effectively ushering them out of my body with the chlorella alone. So I added benonite clay to the mix both last night and tonight. I put the clay on the soles of my feet for 20 minutes and then rinsed off. Last night, immediately following I had a horrid headache and nausea and thought it must be part of the Babs herx. But then today, I felt fine and again got nauseated after I rinsed my feet.

Am I doing this right? Is this a sign that I am getting the metals out?

We haven't had nausea with cilantro/Diatomaceous earth, but started with 3 drops 3x daily cilantro tincture and worked up to 10 drops 3x daily at which point K developed yeast - too many metals being dumped into the gut I suppose. I have read that yeast will overgrow to prevent metals from being reabsorbed through the gut wall.

The yeast overgrowth simmered down when we reduced back to 3 drops 3x daily (with 1 1/2 tsp DE and 1 1/2 tsp psyllium taken 2x daily) and increased probiotics. At this point our EMF sensitivity had decreased significantly. K has no fillings, and I have 1 mercury one. Neither of us experienced tooth pain or nausea, but we are ingesting DE, not using bentonite externally.

It does sound herxish to me.

Thank you both for the insight!

Oh, I completely stopped the cilantro once I had the teeth sensitivity and amped up the chlorella but the pain remained. I felt like maybe the chlorella was not able to bind and help usher out the metals effectively, maybe because of gut/kidney/liver being compromised with the infections? I didn't want to keep drawing the metals out if I could not expel them effectively.

The next morning after I used the clay, I had no pain even with hot/cold temperature drinks and food. But as I continued to use the clay in the evenings, immediately after I would feel nauseated, sometimes with a bad headache and other times a very mild one.

I have used B clay before as a face mask, a foot mask, and taken it internally but never had this reaction. But, I had not previously used it in conjunction with a cilantro/chlorella protocol.

Rowingmom -
When you say herxish, you mean herxing from the metal removal or from the Babs meds?
Interesting point about the yeast, I never knew that! I will have to look at increasing the probiotics. I have done DE before but felt very sluggish with it. I seem to feel better using charcoal.
