Re: Iodine test and detox of mercury protocol

[Guest guest]

Fortunately, we are on well water and therefore do not have the

concerns of chlorine or fluoride in our water.

My general dentist removed the fillings. There was nothing special

done in regards to vapor or a dental dam. Wish I had known then

what I know now! I do still have a mouth full of mercury and am

quite reluctant to have anymore removed at this time with what I

just went through. I do, however, plan on seeing someone that

specializes in the procedure to lesson further mercury exposure in

the future. Can you tell me what quantities of selenium,

glutathione, sulfer and C I should take for effective detox? Is

there anything else I can do? How much of the DMSA, MSM, would you

recommend?

I am currently back up to 24mg a day of Prolamine Iodine. I never

went up to the recommended (by a nutritionist/friend) amount of 50mg

a day out of fear of everything that I had been reading regarding

too much iodine. I worked up to 36mg a day, stayed there for three

months, and starting cutting back hoping that that had my levels

sufficient. I had been down to about 9mg a day when I had the last

filling removed. Nothing was really said about other nutrients as

I had told my friend I was on a multivitamin—SuperMom by Beeyouthful—

have you heard of them and what do you think? I have, however, taken

these on an on-again, off-again basis. He also knew that I try to

eat as nutritious as possible, organic vegetables, been making my

own bread for about five years now, try to eat mostly raw, do a lot

of sprouts, etc.

I have only slightly limited goitrogens because so many of them are

so very nutritious. Also, I reasoned that I am taking the extra

iodine to help offset it.

What is the TPO Ab and Tg Ab test you mentioned? Does it have to be

ordered by a doctor? My friend/nutritionist can not order any tests

and my endo is very difficult to get in to see, let alone cooperate

with me.

Thanks again so much for your help and any information you can give.

You were probably just headed toward thyroid nodules anyway and it

just happened at the same time.

a regular dentist. If they were not removed safely you were probably

exposed to mercury vapor in the drilling removal and if a dental dam

was not used you swallowed particles. Both will expose you. Mercury

is a thyroid hormone inhibitor. It piggybacks on many hormones

rendering them useless because they don't " look " like what the body

is looking for. You should take lots of selenium to help with this.

Glutathione and sulfer help as well. Iodine also detoxes mercury so

all of this may be a factor. Also make sure you are getting enough

Vit C.

=======================

Have you tested the water for Fluoride? I have well

water as well and my dentist said there still could be

fluoride in the water. I never did do the test though

No, we have not tested. It does not make sense that it would be

there since fluoride (and chlorine) is only put in at the water

plants and travels through public water pipes, etc. to its

destination. They are not treating the aquifers as far as I know.

We are far enough removed from any public water systems, unless it

is occurring naturally in the soil we should not have the type that

is added to water. Of course we do have it in our foods that are

treated with fluoridated, chlorinated water...ugh (
