Re: MS and progesterone, estradiol

[Guest guest]

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.
