TK--- this is a good dosage, the headaches are usually a good

indication of redistribution and Hg toxicity you are probably mildly

toxic & have some other problems you haven't addressed yet. I would

suggest continuing chelating and addressing the other issues.

The only thing doctors and hospitals tell me is possible

TK--- Western md's willl not do this for the most part because of the

way the health system is set up and what they believe in, you either

suggest you start on your own if you are capable and do some of the

appropriate testing on your own.

Hi Greg,

Sounds like you have adrenal and thyroid problems.

The stress of dental work often 'creates' such issues. So you might be

coping ok with mercury removal, but your metabolic health is in trouble and

you need to support the thyroid and adrenal asap. Have you done proper

temperature charting?

I would suggest that you take a break from chelation for a while as the

stress of it will just further hurt these glands (if you feel worse you can

always start it up again). Or consider lowering your dose. Do a saliva

hormone test through DiagnosTechs and get on some support. Low thyroid and

adrenals will cause poor HCL secretion, poor digestion and poor absorption.

Both are linked with insomnia. Low thyroid will give you low temps and can

create eye pressure issues.

If you are having these problems it is typical of mercury poisoning, as

mercury targets these glands.

You are taking a high dose of ALA and DMSA and that might be moving more

metals than you can keep up with.

Yes, you can have mercury poisoning without fulfilling the counting rules.

What is you mercury level?

Have you got low lithium? What are your Na/Mg and K/Ca ratio's?

You can send me the DDI hair tests if you'd like us to take a look.
