I have pondered this question lots because I feel great while taking

the chelators and horrible when I stop. My theory is that chelation

per se is not stressful *as long as* the person is chelating at

exactly the right dose and providing the needed support. It is

stopping chelation, when the moving metals settle and redistribution

occurs, that is stressful. According to my theory, people who are

feeling rough while chelating are using doses that are too high or not

providing things that are needed like Mg, Zn and others.

IMHO the appropriate range of chelator dose is highly individual and

is in a very narrow range.

I think that after amalgam removal the metals are going to start

moving anyway and by chelating properly the chelator prevents those

moving metals from bumping into thiol groups in the body and doing

more damage. It's sort of like the difference between a rowdy drunk

finding his own way out of a big drinking party or being escorted by a

bouncer.

This makes a lot of sense. I tried chelating at a dose that was too high for me,

and I became very fatigue and then turned into an emotional basket case! When I

ended the round, I actually felt better.

" I think Andy says people who do well on chelators often need more

cysteine in their diet. You might experiment with sulfury stuff

and see how you do. "

That might be the case too. I can't eat dairy or eggs. I do eat a good amount of

cruciferous veggies. Occassionally I crave asparagus. I wonder if this is

why...I recently decreased my molybdenum from 1000 mcg to 500, because I was at

that amount for about 8 months. Maybe I should increase it again. I should also

get in the habit if taking my NAC. I have been hesitant, since I never

eliminated all sulfur foods to check for a sensitivity. I don't think I have a

reason to suspect one though.

After this round, I was only fatigued the following day. My energy is picking

up, but still not quite what it is when I am on a round!

Thanks,
