Re: Toxic Metals and RT3 / chelation caution

[Guest guest]

Val said " I think chelation is VERY dangerous and should never be attempted

until your thyroid and adrenals are RIGHT. "

http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/RT3_T3/message/40533

Getting to a healthy unhypo state may reduce or eliminate the need for

chelation. Again, from Val's post: " When we are hypothyroid our bodies do not

detox ANYTHING properly, thus YES toxic metals and poisons build up in our

systems "

This may explain why some people have lots of mercury fillings and yet are

perfectly healthy. They are not hypo; they are able to properly detox the

mercury; it does not build up in them.

On the causes of RT3: there are many; not all are known. The almost-universal

experience of this group is, however, that clearing RT3 is beneficial. And very

often, yes, the RT3 comes right back if T3-only is discontinued. That happened

to both Nick and Val (interestingly, Val has no mercury fillings at all.)

this for some time and all attempts to get this to detox has been pretty

unsuccessful.
