mercury detox

[Guest guest]

Hi Obie,

Regarding the filling material with metal in it, that sounds

like something to look into -- what kind of metal? " Mortified "

sounds about right.

Whether you want to look into mercury removal is up to you--

I think you should find out about those metal chips before

doing chelation though. I don't know--- I'm just being cautious.

I've read stuff that says that mercury stays in the brain for

longer-than-a-human-lifetime. I don't recall the numbers of

years --- after a certain point it really doesn't matter. I

think I've seen different numbers---- like a half-life of 50 or

100 years?? I don't know how anyone would know this. Autopsies

might tell you that there WAS still mercury but not how long

it would take to NOT be there.

Whether the rest of your body (besides the brain) would have

detoxed all the stored mercury I do not know.... but the brain

seems rather important.

Alpha Lipoic Acid is thought (by Andy Cutler) to get mercury out

of the brain. Again, I don't know that it really gets it ALL out,

but more out is good even if I don't know that! Many experiences

I've read would also support Andy's idea about this. (People who

have used DMSA for chelation who then add ALA often have increases

in " bad " effects--- followed by additional improvements. This

seems to indicate that ALA is chelating " more " than the DMSA did.)

[Andy is author of a book called " Amalgam Illness: Diagnosis and

treatment " It sells for $35 and you can order it directly from his

web site: http://hometown.aol.com/noamalgam.]

If I knew you had no metal in your mouth (which I don't feel clear

about.....) I would suggest that you TRY alpha lipoic acid to see

what kind of reaction you get. (NOTE: I would NOT suggest this

to anyone with amalgam in their mouth.)

The way to do this " trial " is to buy alpha lipoic acid (health food

store). The dose is .5 to 1 mg per pound of body weight (e.g. I take

100 mg and weigh 160 pounds). Take that dose EVERY 3 HOURS, including

during the night. Continue that for 3 or 4 days. Then stop for

at least the same # of days. (stopping for 4 to 11 days is most

common). Then repeat.

IMPORTANT: DO NOT USE THE METHOD LISTED IF YOU HAVE AMALGAM ( " SILVER " )

FILLINGS.

What you are looking for is EITHER " good " results OR " bad " results or

both. Many people have different effects during the " on " and " off "

parts of the cycle. You are looking for anything that could be

mercury related. If you have mercury that is effectively being

chelated, insomnia is a common effect.

I would guess that 1 to 3 cycles would be enough to tell if something

is happening. (I had clear positive results within 2 or 3 cycles.

On the other hand, a friend who I think is VERY mercury toxic has

been at this for about 9 rounds now without clear positives.)

In a mercury toxic person the expected effect would

be gradual improvements in health, along with some " bad " effects from

the chelation. One first " off " day is reported by many to be the

worst.

I hope that this is helpful.

regards,

Moria

Well, I'm sorry; don't intend to occupy the list with basic questions but

things finally occur to me when I read posts which frequently reoccur. For

instance, I'm reading about the mercury-in-amalgams-issue repeatedly. I

just remember that when I had mine removed, I did nothing about residual

mercury; even to this date. So should I look into this after, say, 8 - 10

years following the mercury removal?

And I know it''s beyond belief. My dentist knew I wanted all metal out of

my teeth and he replaced the fillings with a glass-like substance that he

later explained contained little particles of metal shavings which altered

the color so they would match as closely as possible. I think I was as

mortified as I've ever been; to think I had spent that amount of money and

now had brand new metal in my mouth. I just gave up, walked off. Toady, is

this going to aggravate my chances for a better recovery, do you think?

Obie.
