Guest guest Posted February 20, 2007 Report Share Posted February 20, 2007 Hey...this is a good thing I think, but has anyone noticed they have a bionic sense of smell on chelation?? Is it all senses in general? I noticed on the first round I didn't have to squint to read the grocery aisle signs as usual! I just opened my daughter's sharpee marker and it was really offensive! I also noticed I could smell the dish soap coming off a dry cookie sheet when I placed it in the oven. This is really bizarre. Now I know what dog's go through.

My sense of smell was very poor before chelation - it is much better now. All the unpleasant smells you mention are also toxic man-made chemical smells. My worst is when I am subjected to mountains of fragrance fuming off of some people. It is offensive, unnatural and probably dangerous. They call it perfume, I call it air pollution. Andy recommends NAC for people that are sensitive to petroleum fumes, and taurine for people that are sensitive to bleach smells. We simply weren't designed to deal with them. It is astounding we are even around as a species. Though very ill and getting worse. Thank god (I mean Andy) for chelation :-) Dean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 Until I started chelating, I couldn't smell much of anything except coffee, eggs, and sulfur type veges in the fridge. Now that I know how the sulfur foods move mercury around, I understand why I have been so sensitive to and uncomfortable in smelling these things. If anything was going bad in the fridge, I knew it long before anyone else could smell it. My husband started making his coffee outside the house out of courtesy to me. I cannot stand having any onions stored inside the house. I raise chickens and sell the eggs. These must be stored outside before going to market, otherwise the odor coming from the fridge makes me ill. But only during chelation with DMSA can I smell flowers, scented candles, and good food cooking. It is a nice sensation to be able to smell stuff like that again. My vision has varied with chelation. Some rounds it has been better. But during the last couple of rounds I have had problems with my eyes: hurting inside, white splotches, loss of acuity, inability to read. On the bright side, I figure that I am dumping mercury out of my eyeballs. I wore contact lenses for nearly 40 years. That was a lot of Thimerosol I dumped into my eyeballs. It has to come out sometime. Yolkerry > > > Hey...this is a good thing I think, but has anyone noticed they have a bionic sense of smell on chelation?? Is it all senses in general?

Andy mentions in Amalgam Illness that adrenal fatigue can cause increased sense of taste and smell. Maybe keep a close watch on other adrenal symptoms. > I just opened my daughter's sharpee marker and it was really offensive! I also noticed I could smell the dish soap coming off a dry cookie sheet when I placed it in the oven. And this sounds like chemical sensitivity. I'm not saying this is necessarily what you are experiencing, but might be good to be watchful on this front, too. I'm a bit pessimistic, aren't I. Sorry about that - seemed worth mentioning. -- > This is really bizarre. Now I know what dog's go through. LOL > > ~Nahla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2007 Report Share Posted February 21, 2007 To offset my worrying thoughts, here is the optimistic perspective: When metals are being cleared from any area, it stands to reason that there may be some minor redistribution in that area, and symptoms being caused by the metals there may change or worsen a bit while you are clearing them. So your symptoms could be a sign of things getting better! In fact, I think this is what was happening to me in Nov/Dec when I was feeling worsened problems with chem. sensitivity and then it went away (and I tolerate caffeine now -- > > > > > > Hey...this is a good thing I think, but has anyone noticed they have > a bionic sense of smell on chelation??

Andy mentions in Amalgam Illness that adrenal fatigue can cause increased sense of taste and smell. Maybe keep a close watch on other adrenal symptoms. ...would it still be adrenal fatigue if it was mostly noticeable/sensitive during rounds? Also, what definitive tests are available to determine adrenal fatigue? Thanks, Nahla > I just opened my daughter's sharpee marker and it was really offensive!
