Re: Trying to figure all this out. :) Carol

[Guest guest]

Carol, I wish we could get together for a nice, untainted, unprocessed cup of

fresh spring water! We could exchange gluten free recipes, too. For years I've

been researching everything...trying to figure out my youngest son's learning

disabilities, allergies & eating habits. Eventually I went outside mainstream

medicine trying to solve my own health mysteries and that's where the answers

were. No one prepared us for having to be our own physicians, on top of

everything else, but we & our families will be all the better for it.

You're exactly right about starting low-dose with DMSA, slowly increasing over

many weeks, then slowly adding & doing the same with ALA. I'm very tired of not

being able to achieve progress with chelation, and getting horrible symptoms

trying once a day ALA. Now that I've started DMSA and get real results, I want

to push it along faster than I should. People in this group helped me apply the

brakes.

If you haven't checked the group 'files', it's a great resource for where to

go for different things. I ordered DMSA direct from VRP (I think that's

correct).

Quite honestly, I've been studying the Amalgam Illness & Hair Testing books

for 2-3 months now, and I'm still picking up things I missed. These books are

more overwhelming, and more on target, than anything I've come close to reading

on heavy metal toxicity. You really have to give yourself time to soak it all

in, and if it really relates to your problems, you'll know you've found the

right information you need to proceed.

What we really have to do is encourage our doctors to purchase (and actually

read) the Cutler books so more chronically toxic people can be helped.

Thank you Joanne,

I am glad this is helping you. Are you followng the

Cutler protocol?

You start with the DMSA to remove the mg from the

blood ...is this correct? I have been trying to study

the two books here and there and my memory might be

wrong...

From what I gather you start with DMSA and then add

ALA to remove from the brain?

Do you have to have a prescription for the DMSA? The

ALA you can get at the health food stores, right? Or

is there one specific brand etc..that is recommended.

You see, I have had to become an expert in thyroid

disease..adrenal diseasea...celiac disease...and now

lyme disease...so, I am worn out with research...and I

wish I could just hire someone to come over and do

this. I am trying hard to study the book..

I feel like now I need to be an expert in mg removal

and it is overwhelming me. I don't mean to complain,

just want to do it right.

There are so many different thoughts on the

subject...but, I do like what the Cutler protocol

attempts to do..constant dosing to keep it moving...am

I right?

Anyway, don't want to overwhelm you with more

questions. I just need to get moving on this. I am

waiting for my ND to have Doctors Data send me the

kit..I am not having much luck it seems. Is there any

other way to get this test done. I won't quit until I

succeed! LOL

Well, it is encouraging to me to hear that it is

helping you.. What a blessing huh? To feel your

brain working better...WOW...Maybe i better think

about getting my amalgams out and doing this..

THanks for any help you can send my way..
