Guest guest Posted January 10, 1999 Report Share Posted January 10, 1999 Hi Everyone. I've been gone for awhile with computer problems and it's really good to be back. Went to Dr. Franco on Monday and he's starting me on clindymicin as soon as all the arrangements can be made for me here in Denver. Maybe next week. Even though I read about all of you doing the IV's, I'm pretty nervous about it. I'm worried about what it will be like, and what if I'm allergic to the clindy, and a hundred other things that go on in my brain. You've all been so very helpful when I've had other concerns, maybe some of you can help put my fears to rest by telling me of your experiences. Also, it there's anything I should watch out for, I'd like to know that too. I am so grateful to have all of you to turn to in times like these! Don't know what I'd do without you!

Get a cream called Emla from your chemist - it's an anaesthetic cream that you rub on the injection site about an hour before the IV and you won't feel anything at all. You'll get a metallic taste in your mouth while the IV drips in and that's normal. Suck something to take the taste away if it bothers you. And take a good book and enjoy the 45 minutes or so rest Some people experience a slight loss of appetite after the IV so eating before solves that problem. Chris.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Hi Gretchen, I have done Chelation therapy, and I believe it has some value, but I would be very very careful about the chelating agent that is used, and how it is administered. For one, I would not ever do DMPS. I only used DMSA, and that was by pill, in 50 mg dosages. I would never go in and get a big dump of chelating agent. I have not done the EDTA, but when I was getting an IV therapy of Hydrogen peroxide and Vitamin C drips, the people in the room with me that were getting the EDTA said they were experiencing huge health benefits. They were really happy with their treatment. There are certain chelating agents that have an affinity for certain metals over other metals, and since I was concerned about mercury, DMSA was the chosen chelator for that. I ended up doing a protocol explained by Cutler, PhD in his book on Chelating mercury. It was a small dose every 4 hours (since DMSA has a life of 4 hours) and 3 days on, 4 days off. My DMSA was prescribed for me by a naturopath, and I bought it at a compounding pharmacy. After that, I purchased it in the form of Thorne Research's "Captomer" and self treated. I had blood tests that proved the chelating agents reduced my heavy metal load substantially. I never did the glutathione IV, but rather chose to get my glutathione from foods (such as raw milk, raw eggs and milk) and supplements such as N-Acetyl Cysteine and Alpha Lipoic Acid, which are precursors. Milk Thistle helps to prevent glutathione depletion, so that is another important supplement. Hope that helps.

Guest guest Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 One of our silent sisters' neurologist is using foot baths INSTEAD of chelation therapy. He thinks chelation was pulling too many minerals out that the body needs to keep.
