The details vary. What you can count on is the general trend Andy

describes on p. 52 of his book - if you don't chelate, within a few

months you will feel a lot worse.

If you tolerate the sauna, it will help. Just be careful and don't

As a test of whether you are toxic, and (assuming you are toxic)

ongoing as a way to offset the worsening that occurs when your body

starts to get rid of the mercury.

Hi,

After my amalgam removal I felt so good, thought I was " cured " until

about two and a half months later.... Looking back I wish I would've

started chelate earlier. It could've saved me a lot of discomfort.

While I was waiting for my DMSA to come in the mail (no sources

around here), I had a terrible time. Headaches, depression, severe

mood swings - every one of my prior symptoms X 100, plus some new

ones! In my opinion, chelation is necessary. I had five amalgams,

they were very small, and I am suprised how poisoned I was.

Christy,

So, did chelating help your symtoms?

I just saw a doc - thank frigging god - who understands mercury. He has his own

chelating protocol that Andy Cutler would NOT like, but this doc actually is

willing to let

me chelate according to Andy's protocol. Including DMPS prescription.

Hope you're well,

Hi ,

I think I saw in another post of yours some mention of the

burg Bridge, and am wondering whether the

mercury-knowledgeable doc you mention is based in the NYC area (I live

in NY and would be interested in seeing such a doctor). If so, would

you mind sharing the doc's contact info?

Thanks so much!

,

I am only on round four of DMSA as of today, but I can tell you that

I feel a definite improvement. I started on 12.5mg for the first two

rounds, now I am on 25mg every 4h, and I plan to start using ALA

along with DMSA when I have reached four months post amalgam

removal.

When the " dumping " starts it is so intense. The frequent dose

chelation helps alleviate the symptoms tremendously. Please take

into consideration that I am supplementing with array of products

tailored to my problems specifically. For instance, I have adrenal,

thyroid, and hormone problems. I am on Standard Process Symplex F

for support for these issues. I have found that Standard Process

works great for me, and the price is unbeatable. I also use SP for B

vitamins and Iodine. I do supplement with magnesium, living calcium,

living C, as well as herbal support for liver function.

I really think that supplementing for your specific needs will help

you along during the chelation process - its just as important as

chelate itself.

The way I feel since chelation goes like this...first day on I feel

good, second day okay, third day tired and headaches. The first day

off of chelate tired and headaches, second-fourth day off- better

than I have felt in a decade (keeps improving). If I skip a round, I

start feeling bad about the sixth day off again (I guess more

dumping). So I will try not to skip anymore.

I hope this gives you a good idea of what to expect, but remember

everyone's different. I am glad you are using Andy's protocol. At

first I thought it was ridiculous, but now, going through it, it

makes a lot of sense.

Contact info below. Here's the deal: I just started with this guy, and I don't

know how good

he is. But my philosophy is that this stuff has so many variables, no one can

figure it all

out. Period.

Plus, this guy's own mercury chelating protocols are bad bad bad, if you believe

Andy

Cutler (as I do). He wants to do an IV DMPS challenge with me (which I am not

going to

do). However, he WILL prescribe DMPS and let me use it on Andy's protocol, which

is why

I'm sticking with him. It seems like the best I can do for now in terms of a

doc.

Good luck.

Thanks for the report. I'm on my first round of propery dmsa. I had tried

PeGlysomal dmsa and although it may be a good product and more bioavailable,

there is no information about it's use. May be Andy will take a look at it.

In the right dose it may allow you to get thru the night without setting the

alarm.
