Is everyone experiencing this?

[Guest guest]

I am one year post-amalgam removal. I have very weak adrenals, and

am on full adrenal support (6.5mg prednisolone) and Armour thyroid.

Because of my adrenals I have only done about 12 rounds of DMSA at

8mg - I cannot tolerate any more. I haven't yet added ALA, because I

don't think my adrenals can handle it.

I want to know if other people experience pronounced 'dumping'

episodes. Afer a few days of feeling OK-ish, I get a growing

headache, feel very fluey and unwell, rapid heartbeat, sore throat,

and a rising metallic taste in my mouth. Generally a bad night, and

then a day of feeling terrible - brain fog, flu, fatigue, extreme

irritability, candida symptoms, excess salivation. During the course

of the day I need to go to the bathroom several times, then I slowly

start feeling better. Then I might get a day or so of feeling Ok-

ish, before the next one starts.

I guess this is some sort of progress - when I first had my amalgams

removed I felt horrid all the time, and got significantly worse at

six months. What surprises me is the intesity of these mercury dumps

(I assume this is what they are)and why they aren't getting any

easier, or less frequent. It is miserable to feel so bad again after

feeling slightly better.

I was kind of prepared for this in the first year after amalgam

removal, but they are continuing, and making me doubt myself and the

diagnosis. Maybe I am not mercury poisoned at all (despite the hair

analysis, which says I am), but simply crazy, or depressed, need

reverse therapy etc etc. I am surprised there is so little

improvement when my body seems to be detoxing all by itself. There

must be A LOT of mercury there (I had 13 amalgams for 30 years and a

big tuna fish habit)if it is mercury that is my problem. I am either

one of Andy's very seriously poisoned people, or it must be something

else that causes these symptoms. I can't explain away the metallic

taste though. This comes when I am feeling bad, and goes when I feel

better.

What I really want is some reassurance that other people are

experiencing this as well, and that it does end at some stage. I am

very tired of this - I have been sick for 3 years, and longing for

some improvement. I know I must add in ALA to get real improvement,

but am trying to get my body burden down and strengthen my adrenals a

bit first.

Any reassurance gratefully received.

>>>Kai from South Africa: So sorry to hear you're not feeling great

Nicola. Like Ingrid, I am also in the same boat as you. Your symptoms all sound

SO familiar. I've had lots of amal;gam fillings for 35 years.I'm only 46.

Started chelating 15 months ago, slooooowly worked my way up with DMSA , last

weekend upped my dose again and am now on 37,5mg after 15 months. Tried ALA

twice but got even more horribly sick with all the symptoms you mentioned.All

the time wishing I could just feel well for a day or two.

Suddenly everything changed for me round the time I took 30mg in about May

this year. Everything suddenly just started falling in place and have hardly

had a notorious bad day. I sometimes feel a bit off etc. but nothing serious as

it used to be.Touch wood !

With alot of help from Dean and reading this list and of course Andy's books.

I've done a hair test, treated my adrenals and Thyroid, supplement,

etc.discovered I'm sulphur intolerant which caused probably most of my chelating

issues, I'm feeling so fine most of the time.

To me it feels like a miracle. Dean and Andy and this group saved my life.

I know there's probably a long way to go, but for the first time I have energy

to do it and so it's all not so overwhelming anymore.

So Nicola, there's hope. We both have to work the body burden down so that, we

can start using ALA.( What Andy calls the real 'work horse' of chelation) Can't

wait.

Good luck to you, just chelate,chelate,chelate.....:-))

Nicola and myself are not the only ones who needed to hear something

like that. :-)
