Guest guest Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Hi Thanks for replying. Yes I know what you mean about trying things that we don't know enough about and we do have to be careful with herbs because not enough research has been done with regard to their interaction with heavy metals. I did email Andy too and he reckoned that there wouldn't be a risk presumably because they are unlikely to be true chelators. I think I'll continue with them for now plus it doesnt feel I am getting any other kind of redistribution effect from them that I usually get when chelating, so hopefully they aren't doing me any harm! Did you know that fibrin also hides colonies of bacteria eg borrelia/lyme? Not wanting to worry you unnecessarily but I wonder if its possible that you felt worse after taking the Nattokinase because you went through a herx? Do you know if you have any infections like lyme? I have lyme myself and take Serrapeptase which is similar to Nattokinase although I havent noticed any negative effects from it but I know that other people with lyme have experienced herxes when taking systemic enzymes.

You have to be very careful where your herbs come from. We've exported all of our manufacturing to China, where there are _no_ environmental controls - which is one reason why it's cheaper to manufacture there. I read just recently that the situation with pollution in China is getting so bad that there is getting to be serious, politically destabilizing, unrest - as in, riots. Dave.

My tendency to have " butter fingers, " dropping things out of my hands for totally no reason at all, was highly exacerbated under her herbs. I recognized that these were symptoms of my mercury poisoning. I found an allopathic MC article online that said to beware of Chinese herbs, as they can contain mercury and other heavy metals, esp. if they're from China. At the time, I stopped them because I thought they were adding to my mercury burden, hence the symptoms, but perhaps they were causing redistribution, like you suggested. Who knows. I just know I don't have those issues now that I'm off them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
