Guest guest Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Do you know if you are sulphur intolerant, because that might be contributing to your joint pain ? Kai Joint pains Hi does anyone know the cause of joint pain is it due to acidosis induced from the chelators or is it mercury? Mine has started after 1yr of chelation, seems like other people have had similar experiences? Thanks Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Phil, If there is truth to the ideas about acid/alkaline balance (and I feel there is), I would say chelators are a minimal contributor to acidity and other aspects of diet and lifestyle contribute far more to the problem. Eating a lot more vegetables and fruit (if you tolerate it) will help. Getting enough relaxation time to offset stress (both good stress and bad stress) will also help. I now realize I had endocrine problems for many years before I got sick. Exercise (aerobics, circuit training) was a strategy I used to help deal with these issues. I think that is healthy up to a point - but if you find yourself reliant on exercise to feel well, or if you find yourself struggling to gain or maintain improvements from exercise, and especially if you start to have trouble exercising, or crashing after exercise, that is very likely endocrine-related. I can look back to the times when my knees and shoulders started giving me problems, and I now recognize all the other signs of adrenal stress that were developing at those times. Just because you feel functional does not mean you do not have a problem. It is definitely easier to take care of the problem by preventing, or addressing sooner, than to wait until your symptoms are bad. It happens gradually and is hard to see unless you are looking. You might want to read one of the popular books on adrenal fatigue (or thyroid, depending on what " type " you are), just with an eye to prevention. -- > > > > > > Hi does anyone know the cause of joint pain is it due to acidosis > > > induced from the chelators or is it mercury?

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 On chelation I have taken 50ala 25dmsa recently increased it to 100ala 25dmsa. Problems started around 12 months, same as yourself in the those joints in the fingers no where else. It does seem worse on the higher dosages, I don't get much in the way of other side effects though. As you say very much improved just this one thing is new, interesting as I say it does not look like its isolated cases and has also happened in the past. I have started eating a raw egg yolk in the morning, cooincidentally for as people mention the choline in the various forms etc Phil > > > > Hi does anyone know the cause of joint pain is it due to acidosis > > induced from the chelators or is it mercury?

It came on suddenly. All my fingers except the thumbs hurt and swelled a little, and the smallest finger being worse affected. This is the only thing I have been unable to shake so far, and the one negative effect I have had from chelation. I don't know if chelation itself is that caused it, but I have NEVER had any joint pains here before. It is still stiff and difficult to close my hands for the first few minutes on waking, then eases off completely for the rest of the day. > > I had wondered if one of my supplements was polluted, or was affecting me badly, but after being able to stop many of them at this stage their is still little improvement. I'm still unsure now. It did however come on when I increased the chelation dose by too much (100 DMSA and 60 ALA). I then back off to 50 DMSA and 30 ALA for the last 4 rounds, but the joint pains persist. I had thought I had move some metals into my joints and induced an auto-immune (Rheumatoid) response. I still think this is the most likely option. > > It is only in my hands and nowhere else. This poses a huge problem for me as I work mainly with my hands as a physio everyday. My adrenal problems seem cured and if anything my thyroid tends towards fast, but is actually well balanced now I feel. > > Thanks, > Dean > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
