Re: Chelex? and Armour Dose

[Guest guest]

I want to address your question about " taking something to move

metals " while still having amalgams. I speak from a lot of experience

and a fair amount knowledge on this subject. It is never a good idea

to chelate for mercury while still having amalgams in your mouth.

This can actually accelerate the absorption of mercury into your body,

your organs, and your brain. Since this is off topic, you can contact

me off list if you wish to discuss further.

The problem with this is that iodine does move mercury out into the blood

stream and you need to have something to help the body detox it out. Yes it

is not a good idea to use chelation but that is generally higher doses than

what you would do to naturally support the removal of what is circulating.

This is on topic as it relates to iodine moving mercury off the receptors.

I would hate to have someone do nothing for fear that they will be

repoisoned. That could be worse IMHO. Many people can never afford to

remove amalgams. It is controversial and like everything else your own

biochemical makeup will dictate your experience.

No it does not chelate - it knocks it off the receptors where iodine

belongs.

Steph,

What

should I watch for or how will I recognize detox symptoms? I started 3

pills today (37.5) and also increased Armour within last week to 10 days.

Also started metagenics Adrenal supports (Adrenogen and Licorice Plus).

I

am feeling horrible. Tired & extremely grumpy, depressed and mentally

worried. It’s like I’m a little anxious, but no physical

signs of anxiety, just worrisome thoughts. Want to lay down and sleep,

but have two kids to watch. It is taking me hours to do something that

should take 15 minutes and cleaning the kitchen seems insurmountable.

I

don’t know if these are hypo symptoms or detox or something else.

What

is a middle of the road something I can do until I get the amalgams out?

Thanks!

Grace

I thought that iodine would cause mercury to be excreted along with

the bromide. I thought I read this somewhere. Is this not the case?

It is but not all of it is probably removed. We really have no idea.

Iodine does not bind to the mercury.

Selenium is supposed to bind to mercury - not sure if it helps to

remove it but it is supposed to deactivate it. It probably also helps to

be taking something like Milk Thistle to protect and support the liver

and kidneys.

Yes it does.

Look at www.breastcancerchoices.org Iodine info and you will find issues with bromism.
