Sorry for taking so long to reply. Crazy time in my life. I used a file for my Lex. I have heard about putting it in seltzer or something, letting it dissolve and then having a way to measure how much you are taking.
You sound like you are doing great. Makes me wonder why you were on Lex to begin with:-)
Nonetheless, two things I would add is drinking tons of spring water every day. Also, have you ever juiced? Lastly, the only thing I would add is some more protein. Try this:

It helps restore depleted glutathione, which is a necessity if cells are to heal.I'd also add Magnesium. Not knowing anything right now I'd say go with citrate, which is a good kind. Don't get any mag that is a mag/calcium combo. Hinders uptake. The mag will help with anxiety, sleep, restoring proper pH, and proper maintenance of the CNS. Solgar is a good brand and I've have success with amino mag 200, which I believe is made by Douglas labratories.
Lastly, maybe a good multivitamin and colloidial trace minerals. Get both in the liquid form. THey are much more effective that way.
