RE: Re: What is the best way to test mercury toxity? (Tonia)

Hi Tonia,

Where to go from here?

Yourself! You know your body better than anyone else.

Often medics think we are wrong, think we have nothing wrong with us really but

we know how we normally respond to things and know when it is going wrong.

I wish I had had the wisdom to walk away from the mainstream 15 years ago when I

was diagnosed.

Cement in the legs - fast setting - yes I recognise that. Short of bringing

down the temperature, and reducing stress, I haven't found anything other than

just knowing it goes by itself in a short while.

You will find a wealth of help in the archives here but any questions will be

gladly answered too.

Before you go further, get on the Best Bet Diet, take vitamin D, reduce stress,

and drink lots of water.

Nothing works the same for everyone but it is a start.

Good luck.

Janice,

I really enjoyed reading what you found helpful here.

I just spent yesterday in the hospital and checked myself out after being told

that I don't have a nerve or muscle problem and it is in my head the feelings I

have in my legs like electricity and numbness and this hot like bengay feeling

pealing the skin. I keep being told I am a WAY to complicated case and don't

fit the medical books to the " T " so I can't be helped any longer so I checked

out. Now on my own I have to figure out a way to fix this feeling that I so

called don't have. It really is bugging me to the point that yesterday I

couldn't even move both legs and it felt like I had cement on them. Any advice

where to go from here?

Thanks everyone!

Tonia

Hi Ruby,

I actually prefer the DMSA challenge over the DMPS challenge as it pulls more of

a variety of metals and is oral rather then an injection. That said, we have

done a DMPS challenge before but again, I like DMSA more. I prefer using the

oral capsules as you can 'test' with a lower dose prior to ensure that you won't

have any adverse reactions. If you are urinating, having bowel movements (thus

excreting) and don't have any amalgams in your mouth, this is a pretty innocuous

test. They do it on little, little kids (2 year olds) with autism all of the

time!

Types of reactions we have seen with DMSA or while on rounds include.... a

little dopiness, sometimes we have seen a slight cough and once we had a bit of

a tummy ache. You might notice a sulphery smell to your urine as well.

I would look for another Doctor who is just a little more experienced and who

administers all types of chelation. For instance, my environmental doctor that I

used is well versed in IV chelation, oral chelation, and as well as DMPS pushes.

This is not a one size fits all and so your doctor should have a whole host of

armor at his disposal so he can create a best fit plan for you. My doctor also

does IV vitamin supps. in his office as well as glutathione administration

amongst a whole host of other things. He is familiar with heart issues, autism,

lymes disease and the auto-immune disorders, etc. He has written books on

Candida as well. Your doctor is your guiding light and it is worth shopping

around for the right one. We used to travel from Canada to Utah to see ours!

Once a year, we'd go and then everything else was handled over the phone. He was

not atrociously priced but he also did allergy work which was really important

to me as well. The allergy work really helped us with our food issues. Our

initial appointments usually cost about $270 and were very long and then roughly

$60 thereafter for shorter appointments. His name was Dr. Remington and he was

out of Provo, Utah in case your curious. You should look at his website to give

you an idea of the type of 'range' you should be shopping for in a doctor.

I really LIKE the environmental doctors. They are MD's, can write scripts but

take an alternative approach. They will help you with your diet and advise you

how to clean out your home of toxins and should use a variety of different

labratories that are of good quality. They usually do allergy work as well and

really " get " it.

I have found a DO who does the testing and chelation. Her assistance said they

do urine test and DMPS challenge. My doctor in NYC ruled out MS for me but he dx

me sjogren's demyelinating disorder (I do not have the typical sjogren's

symptoms of dry month and dry eyes. I have are lesions on spinal cord and in the

brain). I figure it is equally dangerous for me to do the DMPS challenge, am I

correct?

Is the urine test accurate?

Thanks,

Ruby
