I think I am working out that you can have good rounds and bad

rounds, and it largely depends on whether your body is dumping

mercury of its own accord at that time, or not. It could be that

you're feeling dreadful because your body is already offloading some

mercury, and so is stressed already. Chelation then mobilises more

mercury, so your symptoms are worse. If you chelate when you aren't

dumping mercury, then not so much mercury is on the move, and you

feel better. That's certainly been my experience. It was very

noticeable when I introduced ALA - the first round was great, the

second dreadful - the dose was the same.

I guess the thing is to chelate when you're not dumping mercury, and

to be kind to yourself when you are, or chelate anyway, and put up

with the side-effects. Headache is a sure sign that there's mercury

on the move - maybe think of it as a healing crisis, and you're

really getting better.

My two cents.

--- yes, my adrenals are definitely suffering. I haven't got a virus

or anything.

I was origionally on cortef (HC) but it was not strong enough for me

and only lasts a couple of hours. Plus I am extremely sensitive to the

taste - it made me gag every time I took it.

I have been MUCH better on the 5mgs Prednisolone as opposed to HC,

until I started chelation. I think I need to treat chelation like any

other stress/illness and stress dose. That's what I have done the past

couple of days and it really seems to be helping.

Surely I can't need to drop even lower than 6mg doses of the

DMSA??????????

Perhaps this is just a process I need to go through.

Have others here had similar problems to start with, with their

adrenals, which improved after several rounds?
