Guest guest Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Hi Patty, These articles you've been sending are so interesting! I was actually very high in estrone and very low in estradiol with many MS-like symptoms but no brain lesions. Part of me feels like I should address these hormone issues but I think my first step is to get the mercury out! I just spoke with Mercola's office and they told me my urine challenge shows I'm excreting a super high level of mercury which means the DMSA is working! The doctor said he knows of some homeopathic remedies that can work in as little as weeks to a few months. He didn't go into detail and said they've only been used for 5-8 years. I'm a little skeptical but interested to see what he emails me. Other than that he just told me to stay away from the far infrared because no one really knows what it does to the body if you have heavy metals. Otherwise, he thinks they are great. > > http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/10449131? ordinalpos=1 & itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pu bmed_RVAbstractPlus > > 1: Neurology. 1999 Aug 11;53(3):622-4.
