EDTA is said to chelate calcium deposits and mercury...so I was hoping DMSA would also...because I know there are severe risks to EDTA. Please, anyone?? > Nahla, I know my doctor is very successful with EDTA in this situation. I'd want to do DSMA & ALA first for mercury, but it is my understanding she'd need the EDTA therapy for the calcium deposits. It will be really important to get some help here on her mineral issues (hair testing) so she adjusts her diet & gets supplements like Mg if needed to stop the calcium deposit process. It's really great she's able to address the dental issue before plunging in. I assume a lot of people get EDTA treatments with amalgams in place - wouldn't this accelerate amalgam breakdown? I hope she has a great outcome & wish more people knew about & had access to this form of treatment. Joanne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy does mention situations where it is indicated, and suggests using it in the same way as we would ALA and DMSA, according to its half life. I tried oral EDTA after about 8 months of Chelation with DMSA and then DMSA/ALA. I got head pains (and mercury symptoms in the head). So I got scared off, stopped the round and haven't tried again..

Guest guest Posted March 19, 2007 Report Share Posted March 19, 2007 Nahla, EDTA should not be used until the mercury is gone. My shoulders (tendonitis) are much improved since starting chelation. I don't know what kind of deposits were in there, but stuff used to grind around in there and it is a lot quieter now than it used to be Maybe she would get some benefit from mercury chelation. Before chelating, I got a lot of control over symptoms with physical therapy, castor oil packs, and various pain management measures. -- > > > My mother's shoulder has calcium deposits preventing an old injury and surgery to heal correctly. She also is at risk for a stroke or heart attack because she has calcium deposits in her arteries as well.

I think this is an important point. Perhaps calcium is building up because their is mercury messing with its normal transport. I would get the mercury out first. There are too many unknown factors the other ways around. Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her issues with her teath are amalgams but also root canals and a crown over amalgam...so maybe she would be better able to tolerate EDTA after a few months of Andy's protocol.?
