Guest guest Posted October 10, 2007 Report Share Posted October 10, 2007 : In retrospect, is there anything you would do differently with the protocol (speaking only of dosing schedule and/or choice of chelators) to avoid things " going to hell in a handbasket " for you? Thanks, Dean Re: Success rate of Cutler protocol Hi , I'm a chelating adult and I'm also chelating my 2 neurotypical kids. We've done something like 65 rounds in almost two years, having taken an extended break this year. No regrets, and significant progress. We saw a lot of progress in the beginning, then sort of a stall (this is normal), and then things went to hell in a handbasket for me. It turned out I had a bad fungal infection in my gut, as well as food intolerances which needed to be addresssed. Also, somewhat messed up adrenals and thyroid and sex hormones. IME, people who just chelate, but don't sufficiently address the other systems which need support or fixing, don't fare as well. There is a reason Amalgam Illness is jam-packed with a lot of info besides just " how to chelate " . Good luck, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We followed Andy's protocol from the beginning, and I'm comfortable with that. A big discovery for me was my hidden food intolerances. I never felt motivated enough to do an elimination diet before. Seeing the numbers on the GI test helped motivate me to *do something* and drop gluten and soy, and take digestive enzymes. It also took seeing the numbers on the GI test to get serious about beating the fungal infection and plopping down some money for some good probiotics. But you know, we can only afford so much, and along the way on this journey we had to make some decisions on what to supplement with, and how much, and what testing to do...for three people. In the end, you just do the best you can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
