Re: Mercury distribution in the brain query.

It is known that mercury on its own has affinity for the brain's

limbic system and ther lower parts of CNS. Wanted to ask what is the

distribution like when one uses chelators/mobilizers that cross the

BBB like alpha-lipoic acid and cilantro when blood mercury is high,

will the mercury target the (same) brain parts (limbic) it has

affinity for or be distributed everywhere evenly (like frontal lobes)?

The redistribution should be minimal if a safe protocol is used and

safe amounts of chelators. Cilantro would not be safe. If blood

mercury is high, usually you will react negatively to using ala. I

beleive mercury is not super selective, but will land wherever there

is space, in whatever cell is not carrying mercury. There's no real

science to show exactly what or where it would go. Only that it ends

up more so in the brain/CNS. Safer protocols for removal minimize

redistribution. And redistribution is usually safer than just leaving

all that mercury and never removing it.

Mercury does store anywhere though, like the thyroid, adrenal glands,

ovaries,pituitary, hypothalmus.

Usually there is no redistribution during the round, but a small amout

after the chelators are stopped. That mercury may or may not go into

the brain. From personal experience with chelating, I do not get brain

mercury symtpoms after a round.

Redistribution is not selective to just the brain though. It may land

in any cell anywhere in the body. If you continue with safe chelation,

eventually you will remove all of it no matter where it landed.

Also you need to get blood/body burden of metals down before you can

use ala. I personally have this problem. I cannot take ala or I get

very bad headaches. I must use dmsa until I get the body levels lower.

Then I can begin to pull from the brain. I don't know if this helps

any, as there is no definitive answer to how much goes back into the

brain. I do know that since I have been chelating with dmsa, I have

had brain and CNS symptoms improve, without pulling brain Hg. So some

must be coming out of the some of the CNS. Although I am sure there is

quit a lot in the brain I have yet to get.
